ESPN game so if I have Fanduel and ESPN+ no bueno for me?

At this point i don't understand why anyone pays for these services when you get blacked out for home games. Like wtf is the point.

ESPN Flagship is supposed to launch later this year, although it'll still be pretty expensive. That will have the linear channels.

In the US, the cheapest way to get linear ESPN seems to be with Sling TV Orange. $46/month.

Couple questions:

1) How much success have Hagel/Cirelli/Paul had together?

2) Did Gourde and Bjork play on the same line in Seattle?

1) Coop and staff tapping the "teammates" keg - so they're on the 3rd line

2) Occasionally Even Strength but mostly on the Power Play. One of his goals in the video montage posted earlier has Yanni dishing a secondary apple to him

At first I was like, why is BDN on 2RW but then understood right after thinkin' that's what they're doing

I'm not getting locked in on practice line rushes. I wouldn't be surprised to see BDN and OB swap spots throughout the game

Regardless of how the lines will end up, just looking at it now, shows how many more options we have to play around with!

Now I can definitely see that we can ice a third line that will make a difference. I really like the fact that Bjork is great at forechecking, that alone will make him a good asset for us.

Let's see how Gourde looks like, given his struggles with injuries etc, I bet he is super excited to return!

Has Bjorkstrand's jersey number been said yet? Sticking with 22?
