Leafs win 4 - 2.

[ClusterChuck]

Very strange to try and enjoy things like watching a Hockey game while all this is going on.
I'm hoping for a surprise Wild Win 4-3.

[ClusterChuck]

I just wanted him to score 2 goals that night

I never thought I’d see the day where I’d complain about an early game. 

[MNSOTA]

If any of you gamers use the Everdrive, the main guy who does them lives in the Ukraine. He’s hunkered down in his basement. 

[bbgarnett]

Zucc is in but we will still lose.

These last 2 games have been the only time for me. Maybe a few get going right about at puck drop.

So iHeartRadio until the streams actually load.

[Tomdog]

for you guys forced to listen it is a very back and forth game, very evenly played

[Tomdog]

[bbgarnett]

good kill 

[Tomdog]

I hate when they pass up shots from right down the middle to pass to the boards for an angle shot.
