Jan Levine: Thursday’s practice and an analysis of the two squads’ special teams
What could decide the series

Win or lose Thursday’s game is important to get the rhythm going on all facets of the game.
Also if they start off slow next Saturday I would not panic due to the fact on how this team plays in the third period.

Nice write up Jan, thank you.

I just read Hamilton was deemed Unfit to play yesterday after leaving practice Wednesday. Don't know how serious it is.

Same, had included that in my Carolina write up

So stoked for 8/1/20 @ 12Noon! Question. When the Rangers beat the Canes, and the Rangers own the Canes first pick, if Canes win the Lefrenare sweeps, does that mean the Rangers take that pick? Is that pick Lottery safe?

it means Carolina still picks first overall and the Rangers get the Leafs first rounder

Don't forget the Leafs pick is top 10 protected. It's still possible the Leafs can get a top 10 I think

Yeah, we got kinda f'd over in the lottery. Only way we get #1 is by losing and winning the next lotto. Really thought a 2nd first rounder would play out better. But, hopefully we can snag another Lundkvist or Miller late in the round.

if Toronto and Carolina lose then we could end up getting like the 11th overall pick I think

This is going to be fun. This is like the start of the 20-21 season A and not the finish of the 19-20 season. I think PC and KK will have a good series. The third and forth liners will be huge in these playoffs. If they come thru it could be the Rangers will take it.

haha, that's awesome

From a CBC article outlining the restart in Toronto and Edmonton:

Video game company EA Sports will provide crowd noise and the NHL plans to use individual teams' goal horns and chants to add to the atmosphere.

Something I never stopped to consider. Strange, but will probably get a positive reaction from players, if it's actually to be live in the arena's and not just on TV. The text doesn't really make that clear.

Here is their NYR/Canes preview video: https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1765635139764

They're also adding about 12 additional camera angles that we don't usually get to see. That's the coolest thing about all of this to me.

All 12 are Kreider-cams, including the POV one that doesn't come off at ANY time.

You're getting confused. Those are the cameras TPC monitors from his closet, not the ones that we'll be seeing on TV.

Exactly, except instead of D, the player is a forward

Yeah, they are his cams, but he can't contain his excitement and wants to share with the rest of the world what he's been keeping to himself all these years.

Dunno.

Brind'amour could only say he wasn't able to play "at the moment."

These new disclosure rules kind of suck.

The league has said they won't pump crowd noise into the arenas, just add it on the broadcast.

Dunno.
