Timmy was awkward with some and was different than the others but from where we sat the guys all liked him anyway.Thomas struck me as a very shy kind of guy. Any time anyone complimented him last night (especially during Lucic's toast) he would just defensively talk about how it's a team achievement and we won together as a team, etc. Like he doesn't like the spotlight. But it seems like he's still a good teammate and everyone liked him, unlike Dougie Hamilton who is also shy, but more selfish and standoffish. Lucic made a dig at Hamilton pumping up his corsi last night and I cracked up.
They need to do this stuff more often, let players be players and shoot the shit. This was fantastic.
I've suggested this before but I really hope the success of this gets us closer to listening to games that are entirely "mic'd up".
I'd definitely pay $10-$15 to be able to watch a few games a year where we can hear the players on the ice.
It's back
They do the “mic’d up” gimmick every now and then but they don’t commit to it. It’s one or two quotes in a game and it’s always “MIDDLE!” Or “nice pass eh?”
If they put more emphasis on it, and took a more unfiltered approach i would happily pay a monthly subscription.
If that is all they cut then that is ok. It was pretty crass.they cut out Tuukka's comment though. So i don't think it counts

Both of you have class.Timmy was awkward with some and was different than the others but from where we sat the guys all liked him anyway.
I used to speak to him when he was sitting beside me. The year before the cup he had hip issues and a couple of stupid fans were yelling at him. I told Tim not to listen to them and that he was fine.
He remembered this as after the parade my daughter and I were near where the B's had all gotten off the duck boats and three police were coming our way saying "no autographs" . It was Timmy and his family. He still had his playoff beard. They had said "no autographs" which was fine with me because I don't care about that BUT I said how about a HUG ?. He was looking down and shyly said "Well no". I was OK with that but Timmy looked up and said "I know you" . He gave me a big bear hug. I thanked him for winning the cup and he said to me "thank you for cheering for me last year too" I have told this story here before. It is something I will always remember
I hope so. My attitude has gotten bad over the last 3 years. I know you know why.Both of you have class.
Oh my god what? That is so innocent. I wonder if stuff like that they ran it by the players if they wanted it in or not. Funny that the Miller and Kesler stuff is still inTook the Dougie corsi comment out
I missed that comment, what was it that Tuukka said that made everyone laugh?If that is all they cut then that is ok. It was pretty crass.
He lamented that he was hoping for a boy only it was far more crassI missed that comment, what was it that Tuukka said that made everyone laugh?
