Ok now you must be drinking with Dutchy.

Meant for Mahto comment.

You mean it’s not fun watching an exhibition game between one of the worst teams in the league vs a team that is sitting 5 starters because they have nothing to play for.

Weird not wild!!!

Can someone please make her stop yapping!?!?

The broadcast is worse than the game. I didn’t expect much from the game, even against Chicago.

Mahto you only have one person to blame for the not drinking portion.

This is on actual ESPN right? Like the main channel not ESPN+ or ESPN2

Can we just sit Boldy now as well. Hell pull both goalies too.
The announcer is like my wife just likes to hear herself talk. Don’t tell her i said that. My wife anyway you can tell the announcer gal she sucks on twitter.

Hard to watch

It’s so painful to watch, and listen too.

Faber’s play sofar (13:58 TOI) has warranted more games to see if he could replace Merril in the playoffs or at least be the 7th D…

I swear Johansson gets hurt every shift tonight…

So far he is outplayed Addison.

Yep the scheduler at work.

Everyone talks about Faber’s skating but his defensive stick is pretty unreal. Breaks up a ton of plays in the D zone and now doing it in the NHL[ish] too.

Yeah he’s been good tonight.

His “skatework” is elite and gives him that extra fraction of a second to make a play, he also does this little “hop step” like twitch move to get moving from a standstill, both very similar to Brodin… I’ve noticed his head is always on a swivel too… I’ve been impressed, I thought there would be some nerves or plays where the NHL speed would bite him… nope…

But its the Blackhawks too….

Yeah like I said tonight it’s the NHL-ish

That’s a bad call – one we’d all be pist about if it went the other way

There’s a smart play by your alternate captain down 1 goal and on the powerplay… but he gets a pass right?

Waiting for the “but he sparked the bench resulting in the shortie” argument…

Beat me to it

This game is mental

Seriously though wtf was Foligno doing?

He’s done that a few times this year. His wires get crossed for some reason and he goes haywire. He even threw a punch after the guy was down. He’s been a little bush league a few times this season.

trying to get noticed by GMBG? Stay relevant? That was stupid on multiple levels…

Welp if the Blackhawks get Bedard we know it’s Foligno’s fault for sparking the bench with that fight.

God I hope these guys DONT get Bedard…

Faber will get the next 2 games for sure…impressive kid!

Now you can at least blame Foligno. Goose too since he had an ok game. Addy certainly got the memo though
