The NHL is going all out in getting as many eyes on Bedard as possible. The first game of the season starts at 5:30 EST which is unusual and the last one starts at 10:30 EST leaving a prime time spot for Bedard vs Crosby at 8:00 EST on ESPN. This is how you promote the game and its stars.
Holy shit it’s a real game day thread! LFG!
I’ll be interested to see if Raddysh or AA is on the second line.
ITS GOOD TO BE BACK
Tis the season, my dudes.
I haven’t been this excited for the start of the hawks season in a while! Cannot wait to see the boys back on the ice! Realistic expectations but uncapped excitement!
I FUCKING LOVE SHINPADS (and the start of hockey)
I hope Crosby takes it easy on the boy!
Jokes aside I’m super excited to watch our team go through some growing pains. At least this year we know the struggles will eventually lead us somewhere positive.
