He's having a great year. Really only HL is doing better overall stat wise but that 10-8-2 thing makes Bishop no where near any discussion.

Good morning everyone! Saw the last two period and we were playing ok, the refs did not take our side at all but we still won despite having a lot of PK time in the 3rd.
That Cally waived of goal was just bad, I mean he isn’t weak in any way but not even he is strong enough to throw someone down with just the blade of his stick (no use of his upper body, including his arm since he didn’t even move his sick there), though he’s got to be a little flattered that they thought so.
Drouin was great.
And Bish was great again tonight, I especially loved that glove-save he did on Perry when he used his whole size, I was so sure that would go in.
And yeah:

The attendance for tonight was 14,741. I didn't realize Anaheim was having trouble filling up seats.

Friggin Engblom making fun of SW people. Rick gets a pass but the pitchforks and light sabers are out for our new color commentator.

Ducks fans, Lindback. 'nuff said.
I only saw the first period, and then highlights this morning. What a goal by Drouin. Sounds like he had a good game. Shame about the second disallowed goal. I don't think that was legit. Anyway 2 pts, that's all I care about.

I am getting to hate Engblbore more and more. Much more suited to NBC were they have no vested interest in the teams. Peckham is fine with the play by play calls , but has the charisma of a haddock, so needs an extrovert color guy to balance him out.
Next game I will see how bad the delay is between radio and TV.

It's a very very bad delay.
I will see a goal on tv. I'll post about it on the GDT. You guys will post about it. There will be a post on the main board. I'll make a sandwich and take a short nap. 30 to 45 seconds after I wake up, Mishy will scream. I've started just watching the tv again. I don't like Engblom all that much, but the alternatives don't work.
BTW, if you guys think that Engblom is that bad, more than three consecutive games of Dave Mishkin will cure it. Either he's gotten worse or I've lost my taste for over the top homerism and screaming.
I always thought Chief's homerism was over the top, but I could live with that. I did, however, never like how very, very basic his knowledge of the game seemed to be though. His cure for everything was "Well, they need to spend more time in the opponents' end." Yeah. No ****. Now please explain how to accomplish that.
Engblom has a much, much better knowledge of the game, but he has no charisma. That, alone, I don't think would be a problem... ...if he weren't paired with Rick Peckham. The two of them together are sort of like watching a comedy duo with two straightmen and no punchlines, ever. Engblom would probably work really well with a guy like Dave Mishkin, for instance, because he would balance a guy like that out.

My wife dubbed him: Showcase
which I think fits as not finishing checks like at the start on the season, going through the motions, and just trying to avoid injury.
IMO: He is as good as gone as a Bolt, and am hoping SFY can get something back in a trade.

I miss Stamkos from the NYR series in the PO. He hit everything and layed out a few people, shot the puck. I don't remember how many goals he scored, but I remember he was playing great.
They've always had trouble filling seats, of all the warm weather teams Tampa and San Jose are by far the most successful, oh and L.A.

Also that stupid penalty, I mean guys have taken bad penalties towards the end of games , but that was just stupid to take. I cannot blame Coop for putting him and the top line out in the last 30 secs, the Boyle line which had been shutting down all game, had played nearly a min shift, so were tired, and the Kucherov line is not good defensively at all and they did not even have a 4th line. Not crazy about that 2nd line, It's too vulnerable and they got pinned a few times.
Btw, Is your Giraffe humping the Zamboni in your Avatar?

He had 2 notable plays. The first was a shot off the post right after a faceoff. The second was the stupid penalty in the last 10 minutes while trying to cling to the lead. Invisible for the rest. Not a good game for the captain.
edit- actually wait he got pinned in his own zone for a 2 1/2 minute shift. That also happened and it was unpleasant.
