    Not sure if possible, but would love to have an option for the COTW to be audio only so it doesn’t chew up data when not on wifi.
    Cheers, Matt

    Great video Brian. I think it’s going to get a lot worse before it get’s better. The schedule this year doesn’t help.

    True proffessional Brian! Great analysis as always. Galchenyuk has been horrible the first couple of games, but on the other hand Patches hasn’t been much better Would really like to see IF there is some chemistry going on between 27 and 92. Biggest concern is turning the game over from defensive zone. The plays has been to slow and to unaccurate.

    the play right now reminds me a lot of the “collapse”…playing well, can’t score, and colossal meltdown leads to a goal against and the team can’t get back on track. just my two cents. seems like nobody is attacking and looking confident…hopefully a bounce or two changes that.

    I think if Schlemko is ready to go you have to sit Benn. I agree with you that Davidson has been solid since coming back into the lineup. Now that Streit is gone, things should hopefully settle down a bit more. It better – for I fear for the sanity of my friends and family in Toronto if, God forbid, they can’t turn this around in time to beat the leaf. None of them will be able to turn on a television or a radio or open a newspaper without reading about how the leaf have won the Cup already and…blah blah blah…it will be unbearable…but let’s remain positive. Great report Brian! Can’t wait to hear what happens on Friday!
