GDT: NSH/CAR: A 7pm Game? It's True!

[Joe McGrath]

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!

The added bonus is not looking like such an asshole watching live and commenting here when things are going poorly.

Wow. I didn't realize the Preds were so banged up.

It's a great way to express my inner asshole. I need the outlet

But at least twice per game the Canes are shit and the goalies are 1 tier above Darling. You don't want to miss those premium real time analytics.

No one is as bad as Darling. Not until they flub a soft popup into the goal

He didn't account for the wind. It could happen to anyone.

It happens to me in baseball but I'm not a pro athlete. But line drives I can snag..

The sun was in his eyes.

Any time line as to when Teuvo will be back?

Darwin surely would have something to say about those who willfully watch a game in real time.

We have no lives? At least in one case it's True!. and I don't just watch in real time I react.. Here's a like!.

Charles Darwin, huge Caniac.

This is true. I used to have one of these guys hanging on my wall before it was destroyed in a fire.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Have you guys heard the pig story?

 

[geehaad]

Not a nice way to describe O'Neill.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

That is a heck of a story. A franchise has a circus moment? What one hasn’t?

With the right planning you can get through a Canes game AND an episode of Blacklist, or 23 Schitts Creek, or similar in just a little bit longer than the game itself takes. It's awesome. It does mean you skip all the intermission festivities, but that's okay.

Yes it is.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Yes it is.

Well, it's not nice to the pigs, is what I think he meant.

Yeah if your Hamilton the Hog you don't want to be associated that way with Jeff O'Neil. After all your better then he is.

So why the O'Neil hate?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

So why the O'Neil hate?

Because he's O'Neil.

 

[Tryamw]

So why the O'Neil hate?

Lets just say he wasn't kind to the organization when he returned to Toronto..

 

[hockeynjune]

Because he's O'Neil.

ok... met him a few times outside of hockey.
