Big game today boys!
Is the game going to be in ESPN +? Or does it being in NHL network negate that? So frustrating to be in central NJ and have NJ, both NY teams and freaking Philly games blacked out…and now I gotta get boned by NHL network too?
back to back game?
early afternoon matinée?
nationally televised?
3rd highest scoring team in the league?
literally every single thing the Caps suck at lol. hammering Buffalo moneyline today
Game blacked out on ESPN+ cuz of nhl network. Can someone pm me a way to watch?
I have Kuemper in fantasy, and its showing hes playing again tonight. Is there a particular reason theyre using Kuemper back to back?
