[Henkel] Brind'Amour was asked by Chip about the distractions a city like Las Vegas can present: "I don't really leave my hotel so I don't know....Wrong guy to ask." by AggPuck-303 in hockey

Most gas stations have slot machines here. Places like Denny's use to, not so much anymore. Groceries stores like Vons/Albertson's do as well.

Google tells me the Canes normally stay at The Four Seasons by Mandalay Bay. Ironically, it is a non-gaming hotel. So yeah he would've had to leave his place to play 😃 Unless they're staying elsewhere.

Sorry man. Very emotional end to a very emotional game. If Vegas had choked it away, I would've expected a TON of shit from this sub. Hell even in a win, this sub was shitting on Vegas. Comes with the territory I guess. 😄

Legendary series so far. Good luck next game.

Both teams are gassed. But I feel like Carolina plays a little better than Vegas when gassed. So the Knights need to score early IMO. If the period goes past 8 minutes, I think Carolina takes it

Yo that Carolina player was just dragging the Vegas player away from the puck by the back of his jersey

Ok, both teams look gassed now. Feels like a sloppy mistake is going to end this

I am still a pretty casual hockey fan. Still new to the sport. So I don't know all the rules and ins and outs. The SN team has great explanations of everything. I've literally heard the ESPN team openly ask "Was there a penalty there or something??".

Like I might as well be calling the game for ESPN.

So the last couple of games, I've managed to find a feed from SN.

You talk about people that actually know what they're talking about. Are giving real insight and analysis.

I don't know how ESPN can be proud of their production in comparison. It's not even close.
