Jesus what's with the lacklustre crowds at these games, man? What else is there to do in Buffalo?

edit: apparently there's 41,000 tickets sold for this game but there's still thousands trying to get in to the stadium/across the border - lol

This camera angle is so loving awful. I know they're working with what they have but they really couldn't have put a camera tower somewhere closer?

Yeah it's brutal - way too low. The director is trying to make up for the lack of being able to see the near half of the ice by constantly jumping to alternate angles and it's getting really distracting - hard to follow the play

My audio sounds really choppy, like I'm listening to someone playing hockey from behind one of those oscillating fans.

To be fair it's really hard to see when 3/4 of the ice is behind the boards.

Okay okay so I exaggerate but drat.

Just push the still-burning truck into the ditch and sort it out later, IMO.

Wait for the Trump tweet about the team, that has been treated very unfairly, believe me.

If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.
Do most Canadians have an unbridled animosity towards the US or is it just the hockey fans?

No it’s just toward US sports teams because they frequently exhibit poor sportsmanship, regardless of sport, gender. It’s distasteful directed toward a bunch of teenagers, but they’re doomed to atone for the sins of other prominent Teams USA.

I feel like this works both ways. I've seen multiple people in the past post gently caress canada in other threads for no reason I can see. But yea, the us are probably the biggest canadian rivals in hockey.

Lol wtf ignore the above it's definitely towards the US. Formerly it was because we may have been envious and hockey was the only thing we could claim superiority to but these days it is definitely in earnest.
