What the hell it looks like summer, you can't play hockey outside in the summer!

And I have to watch Billy Idol? Ugh.

What does any musical act have to do with a sports game in America?

Sports, beer, greasy food, and music, four things every American loves and it's even better when you combine them.

If nothing else, Caps win the better looking uniform contest.

Those gloves they're forcing the Blackhawks to wear look like poo poo.

Probably cost 4x what they paid Billy Idol :haw:

You can't put a price on being a badass and flaunting your military might.

Camera angle is poo poo, move game someplace that makes sense.

Wait, the ice looks bad? I thought it looked allright to me.

Looks decent to me but it's tearing up pretty fast, the snow is clearly half slush.

Way to gently caress it up Seabs. :mad:

Way too hard to track the puck with the basic camera view they are using. Really tough to tell when the goal was scored.

Even Emrick couldn't tell, it took him a second to register there was a goal.

They really should have delayed the game an hour, the rink is already half in shadow when it had barely any shadow at puck drop.

NBC seems to be using the stationary camera mostly, with occasional cuts to nausea cam.

Crawford's big adventure being a goalie behind the goal.

Hawks are getting pummeled so far today

They might be producing more if they'd quit it with the low chance shots from the blue line.

Also the ice surface seems to be holding up well, but that dark seam showing up by the near face-off dots is a bit odd.

Well that's kind of a rare classy gesture that the caps put CR stickers on their helmets too.

why does it seem like Bickell gets a ton of icetime. I'm always seeing 29 out on the ice

Meets Q's requirement to have a meathead on the ice at all times yet manages to not be a gigantic defensive liability.

CAS can't complain about bad calls for the rest of the season because the refs just handed you a game. :colbert:
