This is my new favorite thing on the Kraken broadcast.

Supporting the local hockey team.

First Canes Statcap Really good showing from most of the roster but the Stankoven line had most of the offense while Robinson/Hall got the scoring chances. Ehlers/Aho/Jarvis with a great debut as the new top line, albeit leaving some offense on the table with the blocked shots.

I, uh, what?

I haven't dove into how Stankoven plays different as the C (aside from the fact that they can keep him in the top-six), but damn he played well last night.

Carolina game time!

Stats from the first two Montreal games. Played well against Toronto & sat on a big lead against Detroit. I always love how Suzuki runs away with these charts just from being a workhorse with the puck. Slafkovksy & Bolduc with good early showings offensively in both games.

Apologies for the delay (if you want to know what’s been going on, just google “Novo Nordisk”). Anyways, I’m going to be bringing back Japers Rink Radio, at least for a bit! Our first guest will be @allthreezones.bsky.social and we’ll be doing an unacceptably late season preview of the Caps!

Oleksiak to Lindgren on a breakaway is a new one.

The Kraken carrying the Hurricanes lore of having everyone score their first NHL goal against them.

He’s back

Lmao sure why not?

Much deserved for Jarvis.

Of course ESPN made a compilation.

That was a brilliant shift from Jarvis even with the goalpost. Rubbed out by Younger Hughes but kept staying on the puck & got rewarded with the rush chance.

This is a trolljob at this point.

Meanwhile K’Andre Miller has an Art Ross bid going.

The goalposts in this game have been insane.

I’ve lost count of the number of assists Ehlers has been robbed of.

K’Andre!

Almost asked why Nashville has the Pens logo.

The points certainly are open so far.

Miller had a damn soccer net to shoot at.

Fitting that the first goal of the year is a tipped point shot.

This Kings team is going to be painful to watch.

Alright, last game of the day Colorado-Los Angel-there was only six minutes of five-on-five play in the third period?!?

Rangers had one line going, Pens had three & the Malkin line dominated NYR below the dots. Also some good transition play from the Pens on the lower lines from Kindel, Tomasino and Novak.

I got excited when I saw 20 new subscriptions to A3Z in my inbox but it's just one guy apparently subscribing & canceling on repeat. Guess I'll have to bug check.

First A3Z Statcap in the books. Pretty fun game to kick off the season. Hawks were outmatched but had some good counter-attacks when the game opened up. Bennett/Marchand/Verhaeghe at them alive, though.

Nazar's going to be a leader in the "entries leading to scoring chances" column if last night is any indication.

Not sure how Conor Murphy's spirit isn't completely broken after nine years in this era of Hawks hockey.

I missed that Petry signed in Florida.

I understand the gym speakers are open to members & I brought my earbuds, but if I can hear your music from my car with the door closed I’m more concerned about your ears.

Cross-seamer blasted over the net by Laf count: 1

New A3Z Just my thoughts on the excitement of October hockey along with some league-wide things that I'm interested to follow this year. Also introducing some subscriber tiers for the blog. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Osprey?

My best writing thoughts coming when I can barely keep my eyes open is very convenient for me.

Madden glitchiest touchdown since the Titans one yesterday.

The only reason I know who he is. youtu.be/8pBae44r8w4?...

The Dolphins

Shoutout to any scouts or analysts trying to take away anything from the Florida/Tampa game.

Went on a hike, bought a record, went to a pumpkin patch. Getting all the activity in before hockey consumes my life again.

The red tails and the herons are competing for my next tattoo

I don’t know if there’s a band Spotify is pushing harder on me right now than Currents.

Burnzie sighting!

“Protein slop” is the best description I’ve heard of TikTok fitness chefs.

Your father traded our tools for M&M's again.

I'm trying not to be mean, but I had to pick 10 forwards to write profiles for the teams I was assigned. There is a strong chance Jost would have made that list for Nashville if he was on their roster two months ago, which is eeeesh.

- The new songs are fucking awesome live. - It was slightly disorienting seeing Davey in his current look belting out the old songs normally. - They played Rabbits Are Roadkill On Rt. 37 and I lost my fucking mind.

A Ducks fan should subscribe to the Bedard Tier of All Three Zones since I seem to be following/writing about that team a lot anyway.
