I watched on YouTube, glad I never paid and won’t bother with anymore.
Thought there were meant to be 8 cameras, I think at least four of them were pointed at the bench.
No ideas what the penalties or penalty shot were for, unless it was to try and force the game to overtime, to extend the spectacle.

The general quality and presentation was very poor. No where near worth the money that is asked.
We were lead to believe that the streams were great value for money.
HD quality is a pipe dream if our stream was anything to go by.
Overall was impressed with the speed, and thought our stick work was excellent. Olden in particular just seemed to be able to strip pucks really easily.
Olden, schulze, saxrud danielson all looked very good. Hrabal is excellent, so calm, makes everything look simple. Thought Connolly, Eberle and Beaudry were a little quiet but 1st game not too worried. Really like Waller - need to try and pick him up permanently - would be a good long term replacement for Dowd.
Kirk - can tell he's been playing in Canada - his skating has vastly improved since he was last here and his shot is excellent.
My concerns would obviously be the Muse injury (although Churchfield did very well). As good as Duba was, Muse looked like an absolute stud that first period. All his angles were spot on, real shame to lose him. The other concern was Graham. Looked out of shape, off the pace and I think Fox benched him after the first.
Graham shouldn’t be out of shape as he’s been playing with the Steeldogs in the Spring Cup and doing a fine job as did Hewy but this is a different level and I think that shows. Everything is so much quicker, there’s not the same reaction time and that first play is important.
With the dawning of a new day comes the awful realisation that we must listen to those dreadful commentators for three more matches. Strachan of course we know. He can’t even string together his one-eyed platitudes. The other guy specialised in the ‘bleedin’ obvious and seemed to think we had Winston Churchill playing in goal. Let’s hope our two are better this afternoon.

Agree, and I think to some extent he gets by on his talent at that level. Different game at this level

Only one more away game to Panthers, so just the one more game to mute the commentary.
