for john's reservedness, this is like dropping a diss track

I`m not a fan of him either

 

[HisIceness]

I could see Tripp Tracy releasing a diss track. Not so much for Forslund.

Surprised any pbp or commentator would come out with something like that, good for him. Deserved after that spear.

One gam for Tkachuk. Little turd is lucky he isn’t getting more.

 

[vorbis]

nevermind

I hope him and his brother get in a fight and knock each other out simultaneously.

Curious what some of you with hockey writing experience think about the dust-up between NSH writers and LVK Twitter.

If you can’t find the original tweet (since deleted), it’s been posted by the Vegas Pro Sports account.

Seems like it’s a throwaway joke rather than an accusation, but NSH writers are treating it as if it’s an attempt to injure.

EDIT: so apparently mobile no longer has a “post Twitter” button? I give up.

I didn't find the tweet funny. But neither did I think it was a tweet that would hurt so many peoples feelings.

Use the insert media option...it's the icon that looks like a film strip on top of another film strip. If you copy the whole link from twitter, it works.

Film strip. I feel silly now. /s

 

[Sens1Canes2]

Pretty ridiculous, considering so many hockey writers get bent out of shape/angry/demand firings when a team plays poorly. Are they "impartial" then? No. Most are closet fans.

I'm a fan of anything that triggers people, so I support Vegas

When I first heard that Vegas twitter had done something "wrong", I wasn't expecting the controversy to be about media members clapping

 

[Blueline Bomber]

It's a bigger deal than the common folk knows and likely something the intern that runs the VGK's Twitter knew nothing about.

But nonetheless, the Nashville media is right to request an apology and the VGK should meet that request.

Same I thought they actually said something really bad, and then I found the tweet and was like "oh".

 

[Breakdowns]

I think Vegas media guys needs to chill out a bit, he is trying way too much to be funny.

 

[A Star is Burns]

While I agree the Vegas account tries way too hard, someone somewhere gets bent out of shape over almost anything, so who cares? What a silly controversy.

 

[Canes]

For as well as Hainsey has played for 2 different franchises since leaving last trade deadline, I'm really starting to wonder about our whole coaching staff, Steve Smith included. Sure it's easy to dismiss Hainsey's play with the Pens last year. And maybe even his play so far this year. Sample sizes and all but either way he has fit into both the Pens and Leafs defenses in a short time better than he did with ours.

Was the leap forward in defense the last two years due to the players alone or coaching? I'm leaning towards the former at this point.

Maybe being Faulks partner sucks.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Maybe players look good on good teams or something. Which, you know, we're not.

 

[geehaad]

Maybe Hainsey is just as good with those teams as he was with the Hurricanes.

That's quite possibly true. My point is, sometimes you just look better on a good team, even if you're probably about the same. The things you do well can end up looking better, and the things you do poorly can be forgotten a little more when you're winning.

Ryan Murphy scored on a pass from Eric Staal then Eric Staal scored on a pass from Ryan Murphy.

My Wild also blew a 3-0 lead to the Sharks. Unlike the Canes, they managed to win in OT though.
