Docisms

"spiked ahead"
"run into the ditch"
"brought along by"
"finessed by"
"oh my goodness, what a save by Varlamov"

How many minutes before an obscure small Canadian town name is dropped? "Hailing from a town of 37, Moosenuckle Saskatchewan....".....

I bet he drops St. Cloud or Virginia, Minnesota first tonight.

Question is, will it come before mention that someone (probably Schmidt) is a 'former Hershey Bear'?

See my above comment regarding Minnesota.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

How many backhanded compliments by the NBC crew during the intermission?

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Do we get out of the first period before Pierre mentions that two guys on opposing teams train together during the off-season, but no love is lost during the regular season? I'm going with Wilson and Simmonds.

Prediction: 2-0 Flyers. Ryan White banks one in off a Cap and Chris VandeVelde adds an empty netter. Caps outshoot the Flyers 44-11 but can't get it by Neuvy who is channeling his inner Halak.

 

[Beef Invictus]

How many minutes into game before Pierre tells us who a guy played for in juniors?

I'm going with 35.

I'd give it under two minutes because the Flyers have two 19 year olds. He won't be able to resist.

That's a good on-topic pick for him, but tying back into the "will he mention Crosby?" theme, be on the lookout for Pierre mentioning that MacDonald and Crosby train together.

Over Under on Pierre mentioning Burakovsky played with McDavid in junior by half way?

 

[Hivemind]

Neuvirth is hurt. Flyers goaltenders are Mason and Stolarz.

You beat me to it. That's his lamest reference to date.

Caps love playing on national television. Wilson will fight, Ovie scores. Williams air-boxes

 

[Turd Ferguson]

I'm going with 35.

He also likes to tell us which player above the age of 35 played NCAA hockey. Thats my favourite Pierre moment

 

[Dr John Carlson]

I'm sure Pierre will find a way to sneak in a reference to Eric Fehr and his 50 goals playing for the Brandon Wheat Kings like he always does.

Solid use of the umlaut!

I never have a food feeling against the Flyers. They seem to always get good bounces against us.

Also, I hope the Caps don't get wrapped up into trying to play too physical and start taking dumb penalties. (looking at Wilson)

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Wilson was a Hershey Bear?

I dont recall that.

 

[hockeykicker]

wilson played in hershey?

 

[troyerlaw]

wilson played in hershey?

LOL 2 games

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I dont recall that.

Maybe we went their after we missed the playoffs under Oates

 

[Brian23]

Winnik seems like he's trying his best to give Sanford his spot...

 

[Brian23]

Wait. Why are we wearing our reds away? I thought we were at home and was wondering why on Earth they were cheering so loudly for the Flyers...
