Usually my feed troubles are a result of geo-blocking, but this morning it's the streaming site has either failed to acknowledge it's already the 19th or they're just sleeping through the AM game.
Hey streaming site, PUCK DROP!
Annnnnnnnd, the game is geoblocked. And they only have Home and French feeds.
For reference... "La rondelle" is the puck, not a player with a name like Lafontaine.
This was a legit question from my nephew many years ago when we were watching a Montreal game in French. "Who's this Larondelle guy? He seems to be all over the ice."
That would seem like a literal translation of "the round thing".

“After the Bruins game, traffic to the airport, customs, de-icing, bussing to the hotel. Players got to their rooms at about 10pm. Back on the bus this morning at 9:30. Back to backs with travel just 22 hours a part just seems unfair for all the teams that have to do it.”
This is ridiculous, especially in a sport with so much contact. I really don’t think they should have back-to-back in the NHL because this is a highly physical sport.
A game in a different city less than 24 hours between game starts shouldn't be a thing.
<24 hours is my issue. As for traveling, I think some qualifications around "different city" are warranted. LAK/ANA, any of the "New" teams, SEA/VAN should all be non-issues (I'm assuming they get through customs quicker than John Q Public but if not, delete the last one)
Yeah, crossing timezones would add another factor. Happened to the Sens before. 7pm game in Vancouver local time, next night, 5pm local in Calgary or Edmonton.
Yeah that's BS, it should be running time. And I might have missed it because it sounds like they were talking about it when my feed started but…I thought this was ALREADY part of the CBA that they had to have 24 hours between starts??

Thought the game was at 9am and needed to get my picks in early (you never know if dog park will be a "wipe the paws" day or "full bath" day), but I'm here already so...
Another morning game for me, since I doubt our GK is going to play tomorrow i’m going with Jersey 6-2 Hughes with the winner. Traveling into the United States after playing an overtime I can’t see this working out well
NJ 6-2 Hughes
