It looks good. Very well done product especially from a minor league. Hopefully the feed quality for the RRs is as high as the one I'm watching now

Not getting audio for some reason, is it because there is no radio coverage at all?

There should be. For some reason it always seems like Tucson first home stream has a problem.

Broadcaster is up there, did a season preview radio show yesterday, I imagine there’s a feed to be had. Looke has put away a rebound and a beauty give and go from Murphy. Unfortunately our lauded defensive depth does not appear to believe in covering the weak side, two easy put aways in a row for the baby ducks, they’re up 3-2

And now Looke takes a dirty shoulder and goes off for concussion protocol...

 

[Naych_PHX]

Well, not even watching the Roadrunners for free tonight is working. What a great night..

 

[tuxonpups]

Helewka pots two even strength in a row!

Edit - Genarro! 5-4 RR!

 

[tuxonpups]

And Bunting on the PP, 6-4 RR!

Victory! Looke 3rd star, Helewka 1st star!

 

[Naych_PHX]

At least this was a fun game.

 

[Lilhoody]

That's more goals than the Sr. Dogs have in their past four games.

 

[tuxonpups]

I was worried about last season's top 6 skaters still being with the Coyotes; Crouse/Strome/Merkley and Kempe/Dauphin/Garland. At least Dauphin played on a conditioning assignment but Ullstrom, Garland and Merkley are still missing in action.

I wasn't worried about the D, as Murphy/Mermis, Capobianco/Russo, Mayo/Gross looked solid on paper, but were not so hot in their own zone live. Slaney has some work to do with their D-zone coverage.

The good news is the AHL acquisitions looked solid, Helewka lit it up in the 3rd and was great defensively and on the PK. Fasching was camped directly in front of the goalie on the PP and looked like he had decent mitts while corralling rebounds. He had a scuffle in the 3rd but was wrapped up by a linesman, we'll need his size out there cause that D is soft as butter.

No NHL tonight but free Tucson Roadrunners broadcast

Maybe we'll be able to hear it this time
But hey free is free.

 

[SniperHF]

Apparently we get to watch the digital equivalent of the "please stand by" tile from tv.
This reminds me of when NBC cut off the draft right before our pick.

Starters.....

Steenbergen | Cheek | Fasching
Murphy | Russo
Miska (0-0-0, 0.00 GAA, -.— SV%)

 

[SniperHF]

It's working now. Tucson is up 1-0 but the goal was during the technical difficulties.

[TheLegend]

OMG.... Garland CAN pass a puck....

 

[SniperHF]

Miska looks good. Roadrunners a little sloppy defensively, getting beat by stretch passes.

 

[SniperHF]

Robbie Russo can put some heat on his slapper when given that kind of time.

Garland continuing what he was doing at the main camp. He really looks like a completely different player.

 

[Summer Rose]

I got the Facebook stream to work just in time to watch the last minute of the 2nd. Let's go Roadrunners!

 

[Summer Rose]

This sound quality is absolutely terrible.

 

[SniperHF]

Miska has made two huge saves so far. Roadrunners can't transition this period. Forwards outskating their outlets.

EDIT: And of course just as a I type that they score one. Steenbergen made the backhand pass from behind the net to Cheeky.
