Lemme tell ya, I have had a renewed hockey watching experience this year.

The baby's bathtime is at 6:30, and then a big bottle, and then bed. Depending on a number of factors (how much fun we have before/during bathtime, how hungry she is, how fussy she is going down), I'm out of her room by anywhere from 7:10 to like 7:40.

By the time I get settled I've usually got at least one period worth of commercials I get to fast forward through. If she's fussier, sometimes I get to skip a whole intermission. The downside is I can't check the GDTs (I've forgotten once or twice, disastrous consequences) but that's really it.

I had never understood people who habitually record the game to watch later, why wouldn't you just watch live? But now I do, I get it. I will still watch live if nothing is in the way of game time, but will no longer just join the game in progress if I'm late. Fast forwarding is the way to go!

I wonder if the Turbo/Jake/Mrazek sits are more precautionary at this point than anything, especially since Ned and our depth guys have stepped forward in a big way to keep the team's winning streak strong.
Rod came right out and said Turbo wasn't feeling right after the last game so I doubt it's just "precautionary" with him. Also, if it was just precautionary, I'd expect that they would be at least skating in practice, yet they aren't.

This brings me back.

When I had small kids, my cable package included NESN. I don't know if they still do this, but back then they had a 12am replay of the Bruins game. There was a solid 6 months where I was up right at 12am to feed the baby so the wife could get some sleep. I ended up watching midnight Bruins games on the regular. This was circa ~2010 so I ended up being really familiar with that squad as they built up for their Cup run... watching the current Canes team reminds me a lot of watching that team develop from an also-ran to a serious contender.

Put the pedal to the medal early in this game. Nashville is down on their play right now and will be looking to rebound. Also they are in compacted stretch of schedule with travel.

FYI Stay away from the GDT until intermissions, thats what I do. Post right before the game then leave the phone alone until 5 mins after the end of the first period. This accounts for any lag in post, then as close to 5 mins before the 2nd period starts that accounts for lag in my viewing. I hate getting spoilers. I also ignore my phone notifications because I get score updates.

Yeah, something about those 5pm games always interferes with my tutoring schedule. My students always love to request sessions right around then. Thankfully, I can watch this game, and hopefully they keep streaking in the same way that they have recently.

Keeping with the tutoring theme.

Lets drop some knowledge on these fools.

The team, or students? Two very different scenarios here :popcorn:
