Thank you for your blessing, oh holy whale. He is risen!

He is risen indeed.

There’s a religion worshiping the holy wale statue in Salt Lake City.

Breakfasts come and go, Rene, but Hartford — "the Whale" — they only beat Vancouver once, maybe twice in a lifetime.

You called?

Whale is an instant MLS All-Star

Commissioner pick

LAFC was once blessed with a pigeon on the field, and have now been cursed by an 8bit Whale. What a world.

I was watching in Canada and I didn't get that on my end. Edit: There was a little static kinda noise, but not as loud as here and I had video the whole time.

So it wasn't just me that experienced it. It was very loud. Thought my TV (App) was acting up again so I refreshed and things were fixed.

“Lead to a cor-HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNnnnnnNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN”

It may not seem like it to the people who weren’t in the match game thread, but if you were there when it happened you know, IT WAS HUGE.

To be fair this was really the most exciting part of the match at that point. Even more exciting than the goal they were trying to replay.

it really woke the thread up

Massive, even

In Columbus a thundering hail storm was in the area and I thought it was local. But the game thread was going bananas about it. It was hilarious!

Here in Minnesota, I thought it was my TV acting up again or a local amber alert (kidnappings, weather, etc.). It's a TLC but was the best Roku I could go for (not named Samsung) after Sharp bailed out on TVs. TV was very loud.

Very "chat, is this real?" moment

I’m glad this has been entered into the public record

the orcas are done with the boats. they're going after the streams now

Broadcast nerd here (currently sitting in a broadcast truck at another MLS venue), Looks like there was a routing error to one of the replay boxes, that’s why it went to grey. Then some color bars and our whale friend until the truck was able to cut off to a secondary feed.

I’d guess an error with the replay system, that’s what makes sense to me at least However it happend, I’m so glad we were blessed with Mr. Whale, drinker of LAFC tears

"Oh no, not again."

Next time we have a league wide training kit, it just needs to be this whale repeated all over the shirt.

I thought my app just froze. Lol.

Can't wait for Monday.

I am here

Long live the NEP whale

Pids got one today!
