I'm totally hate-watching the Habs-Pens game.

Who am I supposed to root against harder? Ordinarily Habs, but not so sure this year.

Finally got settled in front of the TV. Watching Pittsburgh fire all the guns at once and explode into space.

Some cool camera angles, but I’m disappointed we’re not getting more from the ice-level mikes. It’s drowned out by the canned crowd noise.

I love the fan-videos on the video wall. Whoever designed the stage/backdrop/experience nailed it.

Hideous ps attempt
Eh...Price is tough. Sheary’s not a hands guy, so his only chance is to get Price moving and pick a spot, but Price had that all covered, so Sheary could only try to pick wide and he missed. Looked ugly but Price played it perfectly.

That rush by Jones was something. He’s probably got 25 min on the wheels tonight and still made that play.
Anderson wants that back but I thought it was a good shot- quick release, just over the pad under the glove.

The talk amongst MSG guys was that he had a minor injury either in practice on Friday or in the exhibition game on Wednesday. He did practice yesterday, but apparently wasn't ready to go. He was at the game Saturday so it wasn't COVID related.
Thanks.

let's give credit where it's due. Svechnikov was on fire today. And the Hurricanes out hustled the Rangers at every single moment until there were about 4 minutes left in the game. Mzarek made some nice saves in the 1st. Overall the 'Canes are doing what they do when they make the playoffs, which is rare I know, they create a bunch of noise.

Meh, I'm not willing to say them going 2-0 on a team that wasn't going to make the playoffs pre-pandemic is creating a bunch of noise just yet.
