People if you want better streams go to reddit.com/r/hockey usually streams in the GDTs on there.

Wow they are mentioning and bringing them ALL out on the ice. Everyone from the massage therapist to the strength, conditioning coach, mental skills coach etc.

 

[Cappy76]

Oates should bring the whole team onto the bench and have them watch this make them want it more

 

[SimplySensational]

The music.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Is this how these things usually go? Introducing everyone down to the equipment managers?

Simply great TV for NBC Sports...

Why would it make them want it more? Players look bored doing this, they just want to play hockey.

Hughson. no thanks. one more, "great save luongo" and I will puke. chris Cuthbert is about the best Canada has. I like doc just fine. In non-Canes games I like John Forslund. I like Sam Rosen and even Jack Edwards away from home team games. Joe B is also major league and the caps are lucky to have him.

the last word in hockey play by play is foley. pat foley.

Let's stay reasonable here.

This is so painful it must be punishment from the Hockey Gods to the Caps for past failures...

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

I don't begrudge the Hawks celebrating a well deserved SC, but why not do this before the TV coverage picks it up? Or at least cut in to this point introducing the players.

Love the Bettman Boo's though. That **** never gets old.

 

[Govechkin]

Govechkin checking in. Anyone else think watching this is a good thing for the Caps? Sitting in that locker room or on that bench and seeing this should light a fire for this season.

I'm hoping for an old fashion barn burner, but would prefer any Caps win.

C A P S CAPS CAPS CAPS!

 

[Dream Big]

Kane is going bald. Toews is not far behind.

 

[CapsWolverinesUSA]

Is this banner ceremony going to be motivating or depressing?

Mostly the latter. But it was an absolutely awesome presentation. Hawks fans must have been tearing up during that video.

The words sound cheap but...I'm so jealous it hurts

 

[Dream Big]

Waiting in the locker room is better.

Let the Blackhawks be more tuckered out in the game. Every point counts!

 

[SimplySensational]

I feel as though I am listening to a memorial for a soldier or something. Its hockey for Gods sake.

Absolutely I think this is good for our guys to see what a winner and all the spoils looks like.

Excruciating. I want someday to be at Verizon with my dad watching this for the Caps so badly.

 

[Darkproducer]

this is almost as good as the opening ceremony in the beijing olympics..

 

[Dream Big]

Okay we're at 5:26. Two minutes to go?

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

I was actually just wondering where the little kid hockey players were, and then they show up.

Wow. So much drama.

 

[SimplySensational]

Okay we're at 5:26. Two minutes to go?

Doesn't look like it.

 

[Calicaps]

The banner is hideous tho.

 

[PuckBuddy]

Warm up and then 45 minutes sitting on the bench watching; now Ovechkin knows how DJ King felt.

 

[Dream Big]

Jim Cornelson singing the national anthem. Really like his singing. Impressive.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

This guy singing the anthem is so much better than the lounge singer they have up in Boston.
