AHL Broadcast Becomes Awkward After Play-By-Play Guy Learns On Air That His Color Commentator Lost His Coaching Job — Deadspin

 

[Ridley Simon]

Seattle Slews?

Talk about thoroughbreds???

AND.,,,, I’m out. See Ya Next Week!

The Sabres thread on the NHL forum reminds me of the early days of the BB years when the Caps were fighting for respectability. A bunch of posters said the Caps should trade Ovie because he was wasted on a bad team, the Caps would never be a contender, etc etc.

Cup Champs, baby.

Oh yea. Larry Brooks and the entire Canadian hockey media had Ovechkin refusing to sign with the Caps and heading to the NYR or Montreal.

Meanwhile is Toronto tough enough? LOL

That moment when you realize none of Winnipeg’s seven goals was scored by Laine

 

[twabby]

This decision is fine, but I’m not really understanding how this hit is different than the Reaves hit which went unpunished. Guess that’s the NHL for you.

Thought the Reaves hit was worse, myself. Was more of an ‘unsuspecting player’ scenario.

At least Krug’s body was squared up to the hit (even if he did turn his head to watch puck).

Ya I don’t get it. Very similar hits, I don’t think either should have been a suspension but the head scratching part is that Reaves was targeting the player all game.

 

[g00n]

You know, I was going to go to the mains and post in the Hyman suspension thread about how it's not as bad as Reaves on Wilson, but I decided to just shit in a bowl and dump it on my own head. Same thing.

Laine had two assists though. That's more than he had in the entire month of November.

 

[marcel snapshot]

Laine (21-5) and Chiasson (12-2) are the leading Cy Young candidates

 

[Hivemind]

There's a realistic chance Laine finishes with >50 goals and <30 assists.

27 classless Wilsons for that hit.

 

[Silky mitts]

Bondra did that twice

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Eh, Ovi had 50 goals and 21 assists in 2016. So what, who cares. It's basically an inverted Backstrom stat line.

Man McPhee really bungled that Tatar situation.

First to overpay Detroit so much for him in the first place.

Then to trade him to Montreal without really giving him time. He looks great for them.

McPhee basically threw away 2 first rounders for nothing. GM of the year my ass.

Luckiest nhl team executive evar.

To me the suspendable difference is that he was hit into the boards, and he’s not Tom Wilson.

Man it could be a lot worse than sitting in first with guys getting along.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Crazy how far, and how quickly, Chicago and the Kings have fallen.

 

[kicksavedave]

Crazy how far, and how quickly, Chicago and the Kings have fallen.

Yeah, both with basically their core players all still there. Shows how much a Stanley Cup is about 20 guys, not 4.

 

[TRASHCAT]

Barry Ttz aint got no O

 

[Sam Spade]

Yeah, much harder for Barzal to pile up points when you don't have Tavares getting the tougher matchups most games. Probably around a 30 point drop from last season for him.

 

[TRASHCAT]

Barzal cant shoot at all. Hes basically ignored by the other teams pk.
