Recap:

 

[PredsV82]

Hope the ceremony isnt a distraction for the team. While not a "must win" game, this is a "a regulation win would go a long way to locking down a playoff spot and a regulation loss would put us in real jeopardy" game

 

[Jonesey]

So for those without Bally Sports OR a ticket, how can we watch the ceremony?

I'm guessing the main ceremony will be on ESPN+. You'd miss the pre-ceremony ceremony but I think the actual jersey raising etc. should happen ~7:00 with a ~7:30 puck drop. At least that's how the Pronger one in St. Louis went earlier this season.

 

[Predsanddead24]

Thought I heard on the broadcast the other night that Shea Weber will be present for this too? Or did I make that up?

He's in town.

Sadly no ESPN+ since it would be blacked out for an in-market game, right?

There's supposed to be a roundtable discussion with Pekka, Weber, Mason and maybe others.

I think looking on Twitter or Reddit would get you a good solution that isn't allowed to be posted on HF.

I fully expect the team to be too wrapped up in the ceremony and brain fart repeatedly during the game. Months of buildup tends to create emotional baggage.

PEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Always love a big Pekka.

 

[hockey diva]

I am already emotional for various reasons (thank you season affective disorder) will probably have an ugly cry tonight.

 

[Legionnaire11]

No changes to the lines, Saros in net.

Let me know if you figure this out btw, in the same position

 

[Bruinaura]

Congrats to Pekka! He's been one of my favorites for a long time.

I'm glad Shea will be in the house.

They should have had this thing on a Saturday

It’s 6:01 and it’s not even half full in here

 

[Legionnaire11]

I'm told parking is a big issue downtown tonight, could explain the late crowd.

 

[mtnsurfer25]

The crowd got real loud with Weber, that was pretty cool
