Around the NHL #15 - Ovie is Not a Choker Thread

[Tkachuk Norris]

Anyone else see the chance of Taylor Hall coming to play in his hometown to spurn the Oilers at some point?

 

[Calculon]

Wouldn't be surprised if he'd prefer to stay out of Canadian markets, particularly in light of Eberle's comments a while back.

What did he say?

“The Edmonton media can be pretty brutal and your confidence goes and this is a game you can’t play if you don’t have confidence,” Eberle said. “It’s that simple. It’s the Edmonton Oilers and everything around it. When you read articles every day about how much you suck, it’s tough.”

Ignore them.

“You can’t,” Eberle replied. “It affects you and I lost my confidence. The biggest thing for me since I got here with the Islanders, is trying to get that back.”

Eberle regaining his confidence during renaissance with Islanders

Yeah, it's disgusting It looks like it would smell like mildew

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Laine’s beard is the best part of the NHL.

He looks like he lives under a bridge.

If by NHL you mean No Hair League, then yeah I guess....

 

[Mr Snrub]

He looks like he lives under a bridge.

It's the kind of beard that they'd discover a new species of lice in when Laine dies

I'd take him here in a heartbeat. Even though it was just the All-Star game and was 3 on 3, him and Gaudreau gelled really well together. I have no doubt that in real game him and Gaudreau would be magic together, especially off the rush. Add in a 30+ goal scorer in Monahan, oh boy. Monahan could pot 50 playing with Gaudreau and Hall, with the latter hovering around 90-100 points.

Fairly confident in saying it will never happen though because A) won't be able to afford him at UFA prices, B) probably wouldn't come to Calgary, C) would solve our RW problem and Calgary will never have 3 top line players (put Gaudreau on the right and Hall on the left or vice versa)

Playoff Elliott's back.

 

[Mobiandi]

Rick Ball's doing the Pens-Flyers game. Good for him, he's a fantastic commentator.

Also jesus Elliott just folds under pressure doesn't he?

 

[Tical]

After the 5th Pitt goal, my wife says "I wonder if Elliot will say he regrets nothing again after this shit".

God, I love her

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

If this keeps up for Elliott, this might be it for him.

Huh, I didn't even notice that just cause it seems so natural to watch a game with him commentating.

I like him way more than Jim Hughson, who I assume will be doing the Leafs v Bruins series.

Elliott is all sorts of brutal.

Elliott being Elliot

 

[Mobiandi]

I like that Vegas didn't do playoff shirts or towels

 

[Mobiandi]

The Flames should look at Vegas' PP and take notes

Flames should look at just about everyone's PP and take notes.
