Nice feed from JJP. Caught their 3rd defensive AHL pairing on the ice and made them pay. This game is a dull affair all around, but if not for 2 terrible giveaways it's probably 1-1 or still 0-0.

Thompson is playing today? I didn't notice until 3:00 remaining in the first. (Admittedly, missed the beginning of the game.)

The laundry folding is more interesting thus far.

And even worse giveaway by Tuch, just panicked with it and tried to do a ... spin-o-rama, maybe? What was he even doing?

Bah. Bad turnover, Mitts.

930 AM... all wings report in... fold some laundry.

UPL goes back-to-back. Continuing to do an excellent job in 2024.

Wow! Look at that. Chicago addresses the Greenway hit/penalty and the Girgs tap on their goalie. And they're terrible and losing by 3, but they are happy to take the penalty and confrontation.

Nice save.

No. The psychological victory of standing up for each other would have a much longer-lasting effect than running up the score on a tanking team. A line brawl might galvanize the type of win streak this team needs to go on.

So... we've established the only guy who's going to address a teammate getting wrecked is EJ?

Again. This team could really use line brawl. Just to gain the confidence in their strength, to build camaraderie, and entertain the home fans.

Take him out, Girgs! C'mon, don't let him skate away without a penalty.

OK... someone can go destroy Kurashev now. And... given how the regular PP units look, you can guess how well they did.

PP unit 3 is out.

WOOO!

OK. Score 4 goals. Then, when he steps out of the box, let someone address it with fists.

Time to do a (pending review) 5 minute PP practice session. Pass fast. Shoot faster.

Uffda. Hope he didn't break a collarbone.

JJP! Bank shot, only pocket.

My sneaky preseason prediction was VO being a + player, and... it's happening. So far.

Extremely underrated cat name. Alf (eater of cats), the Fonz, So/Zo, Alfie.

The Hawks are very well-disciplined with their lanes and active sticks. I don't think I've seen a single cross-ice pass get through against them.

If Tage could develop even 1/3 of the butt that Jagr had, he'd be amazing. Instead, Korchinski just walks around him and his 7' stickhandling wingspan and gets the takeaway.

That's not true! That's impossible!
