Genuinely don’t like the fact that one of the most sure fire ways to go viral or get validation in this modern era is to be cynical.

You give up the game before it even starts, you lose.

You don’t have to irrationally optimistic but “lol nothing matters” isn’t better.

Online comedians with the most followers are the most nihilistic people I’ve ever heard in my life

They sound like walking SI symptoms, and people love it — because they understand a similar misery

Leafs power play really looking like it’s lacking a solid playmaker who could really turn the tide.

Wonder if they ever had one of those…

I know it gets used as another way of saying “bad” but WKUK was so far ahead of its time.

If that was out now? It would be a phenomenon.

Skating fundamentals for most of practice, puck skill developments, and games games games. The more fun they have the last 15-20 minutes, the more they’ll learn.

Miss the third period, yesterday’s illness had me in bed early, but that’s the first #GuinsWin of the season.

Slick little goal by Brazeau. You simply love to see it.

Pens been owning the net front and corners in the offensive zone. Encouraging start!

Kindel, man…kid does not look at all out of place. Just keeps impressing.

Well, that power play most certainly occurred.

Really solid PK by the Pens. Bit of a flop on the call, but you know refs are gonna call that. Brunicke will learn with time.

Still extremely not used to Mike Sullivan not being the Penguins head coach

Yes, I’m going to get a lot of mileage out of this bit this season. Strap in.

Does Matthew Tkachuk really want to play in such a rancid environment?

He owes it to hockey to go to a contender and not a team that can’t even get a lead against Chicago, tbh.

Mark Lazerus @marklazerus.bsky.social · 1d

GOAL: Nazar finishes on the breakaway. Expect a lot of that this season. 1-0 Blackhawks.

Also, @hunterhodies.bsky.social gets you ready for tonight.

I’m starting the season on IR with a pretty nasty stomach bug.
