i cant wait.

 

[BMC]

So great to see one of these again!!!!!

 

[McGarnagle]

I like that the last game we played before shutdown was the Flyers and the first game back will be the Flyers

 

[talkinaway]

On March 10th, would anyone have predicted that our next game would be...against the Flyers, again?

Time to slice up Gritty and serve him with Cheez Whiz.

Feels like it's been years since we've had one of these threads.

We didn't know it would be our last game. ...maybe forever

And only one of the three round robin games is on a weekday. Although I didn't notice if it's an afternoon or evening game.

 

[Bruinaura]

At least we won't have to actually see Gritty, because surely the teams aren't bringing their mascots?

 

[Aussie Bruin]

My thoughts exactly!!

It's here, it's here, it's really here. Back to threads where it's assumed you are talking about hockey and nothing but hockey. Yiipeeee

If there are 3 games in an arena, the times locally should be 12-4-8, with 4 being the RR, so....yuck for most folks.

Edmonton supposedly will delay by up to 30 minutes to wait for a Toronto game to finish.

At least Mascots are wearing face coverings! Maskots!

There's no dress code....so maybe John Moore dresses as Blades?

NBC on the weekends knows they can schedule the RR at Noon and it fits the network window.

Sportsnet/CBC will want Totonto in prime time with Vancouver to follow - notice only 2 games in Toronto that day.

This is a made for TV tournament - PLUS they also know Red Sox at NYY is on at 7

So, NBC for sure Fenway? I don’t have to do anything TV-wise to make sure I’m not blacked out vs Phila? (Thanks!)
