Question, why do Americans say "call out sick"? Canadians say "call in sick" because you call in to report that you are sick.

I think the idea being that you are calling 'out' of work.

Doesn't make a ton of sense to me, but I work with a bunch of Americans and have asked a similar question.

Always gotta be different! Wont even use your mod squad playoff avatar. That cuts @forsbergavs32and I deep.

Yeah got a lot of heat for that. Lol.

I always felt he was more of an uber-celebrity fill-in role. I've seen him come and go a number of times over the last couple of decades. I don't think he ever held a regular spot.

My impression at the very beginning was he was supposed to be a regular, he was there all the time. And if you are copying the NBA panel they probably wanted a HHOFer there like Shaq and Charles. It was soon after they turned him into a guest star. In TNTs defence the chemistry wasn’t there and it is better now.

 

[BelovedIsles]

They started Hill!? Coincidental, last game they had a strangely long closeup on Hill. No correlation, perhaps, but Thompson deserves this start.

 

[HolyGhost]

Come on dallas

 

[Vinh]

Dadonov with an eternity to pick his pass on the entry. Good chance for Seguin.

Nouns decline, not empty net goals...

Dont let @hangman005 punk ya like that!

 

[Daximus]

That's why you always follow the shot Daddo, would have been an easy tap in.

Tripping!!!!! How much is Mccrimmon paying you Refs

 

[Tofveve]

Vegas pretty lucky rn. Dallas could be well up 3 or 4 to 2. And that trip non-call there was sketchy.

I always figured HFB Global Mods pull in 6 figure salaries with insane benefits

Yea, the other problem (besides his lack of sense of humor) is that he’s the GOAT. Like, the discussion automatically goes in his direction, cause are you gonna clown or interrupt Wayne Fing Gretzky? No, you listen.

It’s like if the NBA on TNT had MJ. It just weighs the discussion too much towards that one guy.

 

[Eco]

Are any neutrals going for Vegas?

Says the turtle who said no OT because of work tomorrow

Yeh I guess. Like you can’t really disagree with Wayne and it could ruin the dynamic. That said, Wayne has legit good takes on some of those segments.

I'm going for the record of most OT periods in NHL History for the rest of this series.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Hi!

Its okay Summer, you dont have to be scared of Hangman.

 

[Summer Rose]

Poke check by Adin Hill!

 

[Vinh]

What a play by Seguin! Wins the puck in the DZ and springs Dadonov with the bank pass.

The NHL needs hockey to work in Vegas, if they had been bad, they'd just be another Arizona. Anyone who thinks pro sports is anything but "sports entertainment" is living with blinders on.
