Also not that I’m complaining about it but why is Charles Barkley there?

Cross platform advertising and trying to get new and different viewers to watch hockey. Its a smart move especially since they all work together. It would be smart to have some of the nhl guys go to the NBA on TNT and take shots against shaq and barkley on their basket

 

[DanielBrassard]

Tinordi should not be playing, I get why he is in tonight but he's a disaster.

Loves hockey and is apart of the network. Helps expand the audience maybe? Idk. I wouldnt mind more of him.

Yeah no I’m definitely fine with him being there just sticks out like a sore thumb

 

[LeetchisGod]

We've looked decent but I'm concerned about where the goals are going to come from if our top six is cold.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Package him and Kravtsov for a center

Mitchell Robinson?

 

[MetalJaws]

Strome looked bad. Not really skating, not a lot of smart plays. Hopefully it's just nerves.

Agree with everyone else. Tinordi and Georgi were hard to watch that period.

Other than that, here's to hoping Kakko buries these Panarin chances soon enough and Laf/Zib start clicking.

So glad to have Hockey back!

 

[jay from jersey]

I actually think considering he’s a god amongst men, Gretz a lot better than I expected.

the only reason we’d lose this game is because Georgiev will not make a save tonight. That I know. We’ll score a couple here.

it is assinine to start your back up In game 1 of a 3 in 4 night stretch. Just assinine.

that’s what I’m thinking as well. We’re there any reports shesty was feelin sore or tweaked something that I missed in the pre-game?

with 3 in 4 nights, not doubt geo was getting a start, but I also didn’t expect to see him in the opener

So us serious fans need to put up with a clown show to attract new fans who can't follow the play and will lose interest after a boring game

 

[Filip Chytil]

Mitchell Robinson?

Done deal. Just put him in front of the net to screen the goalie the entire time.

 

[Lays]

If we lose this game we won’t hear the end of it. This is a must win even more than most first regular season games are.

Go smoke something and relax, friend.

 

[Machinehead]

Tinordi should not be playing, I get why he is in tonight but he's a disaster.

I get it but I also don't. That's what Reaves is for. If we want a defensemen with snarl, we already have Nemeth and Smith was a better player.

TNT broadcast has been fine. Much better than NBCSN ever was

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I get it but I also don't. That's what Reaves is for. If we want a defensemen with snarl, we already have Nemeth and Smith was a better player.

I would have liked to have brought Smith back as the #7. I said that more than a few times.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

We've looked decent but I'm concerned about where the goals are going to come from if our top six is cold.

It's period 1 of game 1. We don't know anything yet and likely won't for a few games. I am confident Gallant will figure things out.

 

[BBKers]

Naw. Not feeling it…

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Was there a specific reason Georgiev was starting tonight ?

 

[Kane One]

Loves hockey and is apart of the network. Helps expand the audience maybe? Idk. I wouldnt mind more of him.

If he’s apart of the network, then why is he here?

[pld459666]

Need more from Mika, Ck and Lafreniere

 

[Machinehead]

If we lose this game we won’t hear the end of it. This is a must win even more than most first regular season games are.

If we win we won't hear the end of it. At a certain point, you just can't put stock in the anti-Rangers drones on the main board.

 

[will1066]

Plus, it's one game. Not like Sir Charles is gonna be there the whole year. Plus, he genuinely finds hockey interesting. Imagine trying to force Stephen A. Smith to cross promote.

 

[Lays]

I would have liked to have brought Smith back as the #7. I said that more than a few times.

Yep. Makes no sense to let him walk when he was the one to step up to Wilson. I’ll always remember the time we couldn’t get a shot against the Isles last season and Smith just stepped up and fired the puck every time he touched the puck. True leader and character guy

 

[hpNYR]

Shesh was on the record last season saying he likes to play a lot to get in the rhythm.

It's as if the management and staff don't listen to anything these players say.

I would've gone with Shesh back to back. Don't like the Georgiev decision.

 

[Maliks PlusMinus]

I wonder how it works that certain players are constantly criticised for the slightest mistakes and certain other ones can produce very little and be given so much love.
One period in. Why are you all so ready to go on the attack??
