Huge day. Monster games with teams that really don't like each other. Should be fun and super physical. Lets go!
Any hockey fans out there?

I got Finland and Canada on the money line. Wasn't very smart because in my heart I'm rooting exact opposite of that.

Emotion hedge. LOL. Finland just isn't as deep as the other three teams because of injury withdrawals. Good first 20 minutes though. Really looking forward to tonights game.
I took FIN ML also. 2:1 dogs against their rivals is tremendous value if their D can hold up (e.g. stop giving free pucks to Zibanejad in the slot)
I took the over for USA/CAN, and Crosby, MacK, Matthews, and Eichel Anytime goal scorers

I don't seem to mind too much? What are you not liking?

I can't see them on TNT because I don't have a cable subscription and not worth signing up for Max for this event. NHL is the best pro sport at consolidating games mostly in one place, but they still do some stuff that drives me crazy. NFL is a huge mess that seems to get worse every year. I joke that some of these leagues are trying to maximize the number of fans that can't see the product.
It’s all nit picking but I can’t stand the “on the ice” banner across the bottom where they got the players listed after the first half of the first period. I hate that they keep taking the shot count off the score bug. I’d rather cut my ears off than listen to PK Subban.
I just think TNT does a much better job. Their pre and post game shows are better. The personalities are better, in my opinion.
ESPN had no intention of actually promoting the NHL when they got the broadcast package a few years ago. They just wanted it to throw it on ESPN+ and bleed hockey viewers for a few more bucks.

I love that ESPN plus has all the hockey games though, it's super cheap to have access to almost every single hockey game.
All stations remove the shots and I hate that too. I'd love to always see hits and o zone time up there too

https://nhlwebcast.com for those who want to watch NHL games but don't want to deal with the cable subscriptions. Installing uBlock Origin first is a strong, strong recommendation.

Before ESPN contract there was basically nothing other than a subscription to NHL Network and they would block certain games if someone else was broadcasting it. I felt I was being bled and not even getting the games I wanted. ESPN+ seemed like a good deal to me. My problem is probably TNT contract gives TNT mostly good games - Winter Classics, playoffs, Stanley Cups etc, which is why I get annoyed. I view it's the NHL's job to promote the NHL, and they have not done a great job at that over the decades. Too bad really.

If you have friends or family willing to give you their cable provider login, you can download the TNT app, log into their provider from there and watch the games. Or go to a fun sports bar.

It’s been great hockey so far. Much better than the all-star game crap.

It's going to be bonkers from about 645 until 745 tonight. If you're a sports fan, make sure you don't miss this
Me and a good friend planned taking our kids to a USHL game tonight, so we’ll be checking the phone or getting updates at the arena. Maybe poor planning on our part, but the kids will have a blast watching live hockey and eating all the snacks they can handle.

The Gamblers games are so much fun, I'm guessing it's the same for your team. Enjoy
