Traveled to Hawaii today. Believe there is a game tomorrow but my clock is all effed up.

Poitras will lead us.

Hope Looch can go tonight. I’ve seen all of Patrick Brown I’ll ever need to see. At least Geekie is beginning to show signs of life. That line seems to have some potential.

Rhetorical question for the league office: why schedule a full 16-game slate on a random Tuesday in the first weeks of the season? Why not a Saturday, where you could wall-to-wall games from 1-midnight ET?

Because people won't watch on a Saturday, especially during college football season. And it gives this night a bit of a boost, especially up against a 2 game NBA season opener. ESPN is pushing it hard (which they wouldn't do on a Saturday) and it's probably easier for arena scheduling as well.

I'm a big fan of what they're doing tonight. Usually they can't get out of their own way but tonight has a little bit of buzz and it's a good trial run for them hopefully doing it in the future.

I look forward to Ullmark playing all of the playoff games after splitting the regular season.

Not still salty or anything.

Why is it in commercial?

RedZone doesn’t have commercials
Huh? I don't pick up what you're trying to say my bad

edit ah yeah didn't see the second part you added. the backround TVs had weird shit going on

What is so egregious about it that hurts your viewing experience ?
It's the unpredictability of hockey. You gotta hope you catch something happening. They could jump games all night and feasibly catch no goals. I'd rather just watch a game.

Frozen Frenzy is dumb, the idea doesn't work for hockey
It may not end up working, but kudos to them for trying. Also even if the channel itself doesn't work, the schedule idea and broadcasting on ESPN+ is worth trying too.

Yeah, I should have said it doesn't work for me. I'm all for anything trying to get the league more exposure, and that set up could draw in people. Hell last game thread I was saying they should think about bringing back the glowing puck with a toggle since I hated it ha

The Ducks feed had that. At least based on the highlights I watched Monday morning.

And for the record, I'm with you that the Red Zone channel is dumb and I have no desire to watch it myself. So we're on the same page there.

I’d prefer watching random clips of teams that I would never watch than see a pregame of Dale et al debate whether the Boston goalie combo deserves an A or A-

Coyle with a blind pass to the middle of the ice while on the PK... that's a high percentage play
