You just don’t do this. It’s why Peacock network doesn’t have Americans calling English Premier League action.
Get the guys who call darts tournaments to do hockey.

In two games so far, Anaheim's John Gibson has faced 77 shots, allowing just 3 goals. And, given Anaheim's defense, they probably weren't just pot-shots from the outside, either.

Is it just me, or does every season seem to start out this way for Gibson? Facing a ton of shots, rising to the challenge, but eventually just being worn down as the season progresses. He's got to be BEGGING them to get some NHL-caliber defensemen to play in front of him!

To add on to this, their backup faced 43 shots and stopped 41 of them in his start. Their collective save % is absurd.
Just a Russian propaganda account

He’s a beast. Always has been. Back when the Kings were on top he was the only top guy of theirs I didn’t hate. Just respect. Great player.
He reminds me of Turgeon sometimes. Get the impression if Turgeon played today, he’d mimick Kopitar.

What, even after Chicago spent all of those assets and all of that money to get Seth Jones and improve their defense?
So so so funny. That contract hasn't even started yet and it's possibly the worst in the league already.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!
