Looks like the only TV for the Sharks game tonite is ESPN+

Well, that's not good.

Different strokes.

I for one am absolutely thrilled every time I don't have to use the enormous pile of crap that Bally's passes off as a video streaming app.

I will be very sad to hear Jamie Rivers do pbp again

Speaking of Rivers, that was an interesting nugget in the Biz Journal that he filed for bankruptcy in 2011. Seems like a good guy and he’s not half bad on 101 during the rare times I tune in but Christ is he a terrible color man.

The offer sheets were an over the top win. Broberg will hit, what a steal. Holloway is more of a question, but if he hits with his tools... Watch Out!!!

That alone makes this season so much more exciting. I’m pumped to watch their development each game.

Broberg has been good so far, not sold on Holloway but he is also playing up in the lineup and likely over his head. Will see how he plays once Saad is back.

That's not really up to the fans though. It's up to the players, and it's still too early to have that level of certainty. Both players were drafted very high (Broberg 8th overall and Holloway 14th overall), and they were fairly underutilized in Edmonton. Would it really be that improbable for Broberg to put up 40+ points playing 20+ minutes per night on both even strength and specialty teams? Would it really be that improbable for Holloway to put up 50+ points as a 2C? This and next season will give both players the opportunity to demonstrate such, and if they do, then Alex Steen can resign them at their deserved market values.

Your argument is well they could be a 1D and a 2C because of where they were drafted? That isn't how it works, Edmonton wishes it did though

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

Despite the early lapses, I like our zone exits in general so far. Significant improvement from last season, and will provide a good framework to getting O zone time and more scoring as we go along.

This team is going to start believing they are a playoff team, then who is going to argue with them?

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

One thing I've liked seeing is that you have new players from winning teams leading by example. Faksa played a key role in turning around both games. Suter scored an impactful goal yesterday. These guys aren't okay with losing.

Too many people on the team last season seemed okay with that. Last night's game would've been a sure L.
