OK PP, crank it up!

Starting to feel like my whining fixes things. So if I get really whiny, I'm just trying to fix something.

Fortunate it's 2-1, feels like a blowout. They are having a way too easy time keeping our O to the perimeter.

breakaways aaaalllll day.

Ouch Huberdeau, cover your guy.

oooh the analysts do the fake rink thing on TNT, that's kinda fun.

I guess intermission is a good time to frolic that I stopped watching the Wings being down 4-1 into the 3rd vs the Pens. aaaand the Wings won 5-4 in OT.

And that was against the 31st ranked PK. Yikes!

Definitely a fun period of back and forth.

PP1 needs serious work. No fast puck movement at all. Everyone hold it for over 5 seconds.

Vladar's looking solid. Blown tires to Vladar's left are becoming a trend. Crappy ice maybe?

Toffoli with the greasy 1!!

Lucic terrible passing in our end.

Vladdy it is.

Tocchet and the TNT crew talking us up for a strong 2nd half and how we dominated the Oilers. Got the Tanev bros talking together now.

Looks like the ply stream is the best for you blackout in affect folks like me. Seattle's pretty resilient, I'm worried about this one.

@jjgallow hates that list.lol

How's beautiful Cluny, AB? Do they still have the fried chicken place? I did a pipeline project on the Siksika Nation and know the area pretty well, like most of Canada.

I criticize, Bedard puts on an absolute clinic.lol I'm a motivator.🤐

I could watch this allll day:

As I said above, I am shocked Gaudreau was even invited. I have seen him a ton. I was kinda happy that Surzycia gets a bunch of starts for the Sting because he's better in my eyes. Gaudreau is about 30-70 in being really good and ripping your eyes out. When his confidence leaves after 2 GA, he forgets how to goalie. He is massively frustrating to watch. I've seen this more times than I care to remember. There is a point where he lets in everything. The bizarre part is Sting coach Alan Letang is an Asst Coach for TC. If I know this he damn well does.

Definitely looking forward to them playing Sweden tomorrow. Should be epic. And the Swiss at 2-0. See how they fair vs the US tomorrow. There are some nice storylines rather than the usual knowing who will win up to the semis.

Germany lost 1-0 to Sweden, so we'd best play like a team rather than a bunch of individuals real quick-like. Starts with Bedard. Dude, be a teammate, cut the 1-on-4s. It's gotta be frustrating for your linemates. Like, "why am I here, Superstar"? I have to say, watching him frustrates me and always has. Great players make everyone around them better, he's a solo act. This isn't the Regina Pats, you don't have to do it alone, you'll fail.

Oh, and thanks schedulers. Oilers at home then off to Seattle to play the Kraken tonight. oof
