I never really got into watching people play video games until really recently. I discovered "randomizers", where they take the virtual cartridge images they use in emulators and randomly redistribute every item in the game. Instead of getting the sword from the first chest in A Link to the Past, you might get bombs or the silver arrows, or one of the gauntlets, or just maybe some rupees. Beyond that, people have now figured out how to link up multiple games and randomize them. Seriously. This playthough is neat and the two people running it do a really good job of explaining what they are doing and why.

I bring that random tangent up because I feel like this team right now has been put through a randomizer with the AHL team and this is what we're left with. It could be an absolute mess, it could be an unexpected success, and no one has any idea until it plays out.

The B's seem to be deliberately trying to get lateral passes across the goalie's sight lines to try and get open looks.

Well, it was the 4th line matched up against their 1st. I'd have made a switch on that faceoff with :30ish to go. I wasn't on the bench though, don't know who was available.

Shocked, I say shocked, no Boston PP through 50 minutes played. And a goal called back, you say? It strains the bounds of credulity.

Nice pickup of 2 points. At the game, it appeared as if K. Miller was on the ice half the game; I wasn't too far off (27 minutes). For a guy just getting back from a broken hand, it was a really nice effort stabilizing the defense. And, yes, Grzelcyk definitely belongs.

Finish is lacking. But, hey, it was a fun game to see live.
