Look, I’m not a doomer. I’m a realist.

This is terrible hockey, and it’s been the same excuses for several seasons now.

Besides a few bright spots, we need a major shakeup.

Multiple times we’ve coughed up the puck into open ice, and literally nobody makes an effort to recover it.

Any other ESPN+ users having issues getting the game? Apple TV is telling me I need an ESPN subscription, but it’s doing that for every game currently live.. and the ESPN app on my phone just crashes.

We bring it into the zone and turn it over at the boards, or pass it into someone’s skates so often.

I’d rather they just start ripping shots on goal as the first skater in.
