    ...this may be the first time this year that Eovaldi has managed to be efficient with his pitches...fewer pitches, getting ahead of batters, no walks...nice to see.

    ...the guy has got the stuff, but he just needs to harness it and learn to pitch instead just throwing.

    I never could either. Very talented skaters but watching guys beat the piss out of each other while the refs watch never made any sense to me. Its the only sport I know of where guys can throw punches & not get suspended for it.

    Hit a major snag in the seventh after cruising along. Too bad.

    ...can't believe the punishment those guys endure...maybe every bit as much as football players.

    One thing about hockey that diminishes the game is the ruthless
    nonsense that some players display with illegal checks, boarding
    and wielding of hockey sticks. The game can become
    "Gladiators On Ice". Not good for the game.

    In fairness they have done a good job cleaning up the sport. It's not the 1975 Flyers out there anymore.

    Just move them to a major city that doesn't have a sports team, like Las Vegas. Hell they can't do any worse.
