On paper they have no excuse to even come close to winning this game but the hockey gods are fickle creatures

Damn it, this always happens. I think I'm gonna score, and then I never score. It's not fair.

ESPN’s lack of a shot counter is already annoying me.

Is anybody else’s audio kinda hosed up? Like I can barely hear the announcers but the stadium audio, crowd, and stuff is mega loud?

My ESPN+ feed sucked, switched to SlingTV and it's way better.


man the Pens are dominating but they can't finish. Vasilevskiy looks pretty locked in too.

Tampa is getting burnt every time they pinch and their D is starting to drop back more which is not something I expected to see in this game

It looks super low resolution, too. The regular camera looks fine.

yeah it sucks, the best innovation NBC had was that behind the net camera on the PP which was actually really great at showing the ice level speed of the game and lanes you might not pick up with the normal broadcast cam -- haven't seen them use that at all yet (although typically you see it on the PP)
