Beautiful move by Evans in the shootout.
But damn, Laval was close to being embarassed tonight.

A little disappointed that they burned a 4-0 lead and had to win in shootout. They should have never reached that point. A four goal lead should have been more than enough to win the game.

Apple didn't fall far from the tree, thanks to a guaranteed TV job provided by daddy.

I don't know why Brook wasn't put on in OT. Seems this is the type of game he's best suited for. Alzner got a shift in for God's sake. I really didn't understand that one.

I get it that they want to cater to their audience. But they really overdo it most of the time. And TVA Sports is worse then RDS.

Sometimes there are reasons we're not privy to. I hope nothing of consequence was involved.

If there were an intermission during a Bianca Andreescu tennis match I would put money on them doing a tour of all the Canadians in the tournament and how they're doing - same thing for coaches and trainers - even if there was a Canadian coaching some radon 58th in the world tennis player...
Every ethnic group does this. When Yao Ming and a few other Chinese players were in the NBA, what do you think Chinese broadcasts talked about? What do you think Japanese broadcasts talk about when they cover Major League baseball games?

You're clutching at straws. Are you seriously going to use tennis as a parallel to pro hockey? No, every "ethnic" group does not do this. It's pro sports, not the Demagoguery Competition.

Yeah I just think you're totally oblivious to what goes on in every sport, for every ethnic group in every country.
Don't worry about it though. Enjoy the game.

I just tweeter Marcotte and asked if he gets a chance to ask why he didn't play him. If he was hurt, I can understand. Brook had a solid game tonight.

Sorry but you're the one who is oblivious to an evident reality. This is totally over the top.
It's OK to mention it once or twice. But clearly, you appear to have a vested interest in that it's not enough for you that they dedicated the better of TWO INTERMISSIONS plus several mentions in the third period to your cause and you still can't admit that it's exaggerated. It's clearly never enough for you.
You tuned into a hockey game and a political convention broke out and it appears this is totally normal to you.
Enjoy the game, whatever that game might be. Peace out.
The exemples you are refering to are rarities. As in not many japanese in MLB
not many chinese in NBA
and so on.
It is not like Quebecois are a rare breed in NHL/AHL. I do agree with Runner that I would have prefered getting in depth coverage of the habs prospects than just talk about his Quebecois fascination. Sounds like a similar narrative that we need a bilingual GM even if some anglos would do a much better job.
By the way I am a quebecois from quebec city, so I have no prejudice.

At that point, I can understand Bouchard leaning a bit on the vets. They just blew a 4-0 lead, so he wants to make sure he puts guys who can win him the game. And more specifically, guys who may have more experience in such a situation. Despite that, Poehling, Vejdemo, and Evans saw a lot of time on OT. As well as Leskinen. It's just Brook that I'm wondering about.

we'll see how Primeau does vs providence on Friday I'm guessing. Hopefully the offense didn't use up all their goals for the weekend. Need to start picking up some points left and right.

I think it's OK to get some mentions but tonight really got deep, it's as if Leroux was going out of his way to rattle off the names of people he knows. I mean, to the average viewer, they're just names we're probably never follow or hear about again unless one or two out of the 69 Quebecers becomes an NHL standout.
We got very little about the Rocket in terms of insider observations. Leroux has privileged access to the facilities, players and management. Gimme some lesser known stuff, things that fans don't know generally.
