Spare me. lol Toronto sports is the absolute worst. After they won, it was, "if Marner gets going, the Bruins are in a world of trouble". What they are actually doing, is setting the stage to blame Marner. He's playing through a high ankle sprain, they know that, too, but won't acknowledge it. Same thing every year. He's always the guy that they want to trade because he's always the red-headed stepchild. I really wish they would trade him. Then see if everything was his fault. This coming from someone that isn't exactly a Marner fan. Ex-Knights and I are like oil and water for the most part. The sooner Toronto is gone, the sooner SNET and CBC will do a better job covering other teams. onhockey has been fantastic. Use "ublock Origin" adblocker. Your internet provider only has to be 60Mb/s, which is pretty low. I have internet TV and just use an internet browser app. Mind-numbingly simple. I have 3 TVs in my barroom. Looking forward to moving everything outside on the deck though. Hopefully by round 2. A smoker and 2 bbq's are right there. lol The SNET app and NHL subscription sucked the life out of me with Satoshi Nakamototy service long ago.

Canada's lines: Martone-McQueen-McKenna Elick-Schaeffer Ritchie-Luchanko-Iginla Mews-Marrelli Masse-Josephson-Greentree Brunicke-Aitcheson Wetsch-Beaudoin-Spence Gill G - Carter George I believe Vanacker took Greentree's spot, not sure though. That 1st line are the '25 draft stars. Cayden Lindstrom was supposed to be on the team, but injured.

No. Somewhat unbelievably. Not exactly a common name. edit... I asked google. Allegedly they're "distant relatives", but no one knows how. lol Both from Sundsvall. Population about 60,000. How could they not be?

Brunicke might want to forget this game and move along... McQueen likely staring down a kneeing suspension. Too bad, he's looked good. The '25 draft eligible guys look great for Canada. Wallenius, Petterson and Zetterberg have been solid for Sweden. Tight game, currently 5-3 Canada, end of the 2nd. Eiserman now 6 goals from tying Caulfield's goal-scoring record after his hatty. I think he had 74 shot attempts. lol

For entertainment purposes only. lol It's so Blockchaining dumb we're left to only laugh, once the shock of the level of stupidity wears off. "Do your own research", lol. "Rather than, you know, me revealing my sources and causing myself massive embarrassment". My fave response is, "show me your library card, or we're not talking about this". Yes. I know some. uggh The Satoshi Nakamoto they recite is head-shaking.

I remember looking into this with others quite some time ago. I was quite shocked to see studies. Imo, it can be improved by optometrists focusing on what you want to accomplish, how to train your eyes type-thing. But it still comes down to how quickly you can process, or more generally, hockey IQ. Then your teammates kinda feed off of what you're doing. I was quite taken aback at how no stone gets left unturned in studies, though. https://www.ovpjournal.org/uploads/2/3/8/9/23898265/3-2-5.pdf

/s = sarcasm So, to review, /s means sarcasm. e.g. "I don't mind if it takes 10 years". Sarcastic response: "That sounds like an awesome plan, we're only the careers of our current prospects away!!".

Oh gawd, here we go... I clearly indicated sarcasm. Tell me about real fans, in case I missed that nonsense awhile back. I live in Ontario. We have overseas fans. I'm sure we need to be divisive on what a fan is again. /s

I get what you're saying, but you've got to do better than that. He has history in the league that's more worth than a fifth. We shouldn't be having to give him away. Losing trades, just because, shouldn't be on the agenda. Some form of decent prospect and a 5th. But just a 5th? That's horrible asset mgmt. Develop players, give them away. It haunts us a bit.

Nope. We shouldn't. 35 in a contract year, everything else a struggle to 20. Go figure. Hate to inflate size, but someone who can handle playing like he does. To be more punisher than punishee. I do like Mangiapane, he plays an honest hard-working game. His size defies him quite a bit, and he overcomes that as well as he can. I agree with you, and not just Backlund. Mangiapane gets open in the high slot quite a bit. He rarely gets the puck, though. He floats just above the dmen and gets to that sweetspot area between the fwds and dmen. He's good at it. He rarely gets the puck though. 20% on a good day, maybe? Unless it's a contract year, apparently. What I mean is, I don't mind Mangiapane at all. He's just too small for bottom 6. He's not quite skilled enough to be an impact player on Line 2. He probably could, riding with a good pair. Like he does with Backlund and Coleman. But he needed a better pairing than Kadri-Dube. He's the ride-along. If I were, say Chicago, and we could do my 4th best prospect and a 4th, we might have a deal. Mangiapane's a good NHLer, we just don't have the parts to accommodate his secondary role, imho.

Put your hats on, she's U18 time starting tomorrow. Sorry most of you lot have terrible start times, but so do our overseas Flames friends throughout the NHL season. There are a lot of players to track. I'm intrigued to see guys like Beaudoin, Elick, Pettersson, Ritchie, Brunicke, of course Tij and many others (hi Norway). It's just one, quick tourney, so I don't really get my panties in a bunch one way or the other. Just a nice opportunity to see them all in one place. I've managed, "work from home" mode for mornings. Cool beans.

Are you actually a Flames fan? /s

That was more than a suggestion!! You manipulated everything with these machines we type on. We have to get rid of these machines. And the whole time you and your lefty-smoking cronies and the mainstream media were feeding us fake news. Players didn't want to leave. You communists forced them out. Well I'm going to Make Southern Alberta Great Again. MSAGA, mmmkay.🤪

Their turnaround time on retrievals and turnovers is unreal to watch. That's gotta leave defenders breathless. Clear your zone and the next wave is coming, not now...RIGHT now. Gotta constantly stand on your toes and forget that you have heels. I'm hoping Bowness can strategize their way through the Avs. Tough ask. Is Makar still improving at 25? lol I'm not shy to say that we're witnessing the best NHL dman ever.

Spectacular goaltending. Both games have been great. TBay needs to start games on time. Both games now, they need 10 mins of warm-ups. Started OT the same way. Like, ummmm, guys, get moving...
