Prime Minister Koivu Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 5 minutes ago, Commandant said: why though. The Suzuki - Drouin - Anderson is 2nd in the NHL for xG right now. Why change it? Wasn’t suggesting they change it just an observation based on Drouin’s strengths as a passer I did want to mention that Edmundson is solid with Petry. He is weak on clearing attempts but overall a very solid Dman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel your pain. I've had the same problem for years ever since they changed the TV rights. I recall a member being in the 613 area code and I believe it was you? Oddly, I have numerous friends around Belleville that for some reason were not blacked out. Maybe that changed this year? I couldn't figure out why they were getting the games because as far as I understand the NHL would want people in 613 to watch the Sens.

Even if you get the channel the games are only available to people in Quebec or the Maritimes. It doesnt mention that there is no blackout in Ottawa so I figured there would be. I thought the NHL tried to force everyone to watch whatever team is most local to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHT120 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 40 minutes ago, Prime Minister Koivu said: Toffoli would excel in Anderson’s spot as a pure sniper Likely ... but is filling the LW spot beside KK beautifully, flipping him with Anderon likely means Armia/Perry would have to play LW as I've read nothing of Anderson ever playing LW ... and it would take the physical presence away from Suzuki & Drouin 32 minutes ago, Sir_Boagalott said: That line is doing great, so it does sorta seem odd to change it. However, there are numerous aspects of Anderson's game that we have yet to see. i.e. he can play out front of the net, and more importantly he is a decent fore checker that does open ice hits, and possibly recover the puck and be off on a break away. Numerous clips of him with CBJ looked like he had flashes of Bob Gainey. Not certain that the line combinations have anything to do with what you feel you haven't seen from him as yet this year ...

While he has not had a good game (and neither has Romanov), I don't think it's "want".

Prime Minister Koivu Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Yeah Mete was not great although he was getting better. He gets a pass cause he hasn’t played in a long time. Kulak is miles above him though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When TVA got the national coverage and it was no longer the same channel, the regional had to be blacked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Most ice time among Montreal d-men: 20:45 (Chiarot) Least ice time among Montreal d-men: 17:45 (Mete) That's about as effective as you can get balancing the ice time for defencemen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
