NHL Around the NHL XXIV - Bubble Hockey Continues..............

Pollock with the save for the Islanders?

That's not a joke folks, thats real life imitating art.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

As long as Montreal closes out Pitt, which seems likely

I wouldn’t be so sure. Penguins are playing bad but Habs have no team.

Penguins wake up, they win.

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Regarding the Penguins, they must be hoping Jarry has figured things out since earlier in the season.

 

[McGarnagle]

The Isles winning here guarantees we can't play the Leafs/Jackets winner. I'm happy avoiding Columbus.

Disclaimer: Understand that all speculation on future opponents is all a game of careful-what-you-wish-for, and the way the Bruins started the round robin, not sure they would beat the Red Wings in a 7 game series.

Barzal, 4-1 Isles

Frozen Fish with the coffin nail. 4-1 in the 3rd.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Every time I watch the Panthers, I am amazed at how horrible Keith Yandle looks defensively.

He makes Krug look like prime Chara.

 

[Bruinaura]

I feel bad for Acciari though.

I feel bad for Acciari though.

Well, he DID have a great year. Earned a lot of respect around the league. He has done well for himself.

Pageau with the EN

 

[Olden McGroin]

Make it 5-1 Isles, Pageau gets one

Kraken set to have first Black full-time NHL team play-by-play announcer

The NHL has seen a growth in Black broadcasters over the years nationally, with Kevin Weekes and Anson Carter as TV analysts on NHL Network and NBC Sports, as well as David Amber as a studio host for Rogers Sportsnet. Mike Tirico occasionally calls NHL games on NBC, as did John Saunders, the ESPN/ABC Sports broadcaster who died Aug. 10, 2016.

Fact check: Mike Tirico isn't black (believe it or not)

Wait, NBC Sports Announcer Mike Tirico Isn’t Black?

Longtime ESPN broadcaster-turned-NBC Sports announcer Mike Tirico doesn’t believe himself to be black. To hear him tell it, he’s just an Italian kid who grew up in Queens, N.Y., who people keep insisting is black.

In a recent interview with the New York Times titled, “Mike Tirico Would Like to Talk About Anything but Mike Tirico,” the sportscaster had this to say about race:

“Why do I have to check any box?” he said. “If we live in a world where we’re not supposed to judge, why should anyone care about identifying?”

Besides, he added, “The race question in America is one that probably never produces a satisfactory answer for those who are asking the questions.”​

The conversation with the Times about race stemmed from a 1991 piece from the Post-Standard, via Bar Tool Sports, in which Tirico claimed that he’s not sure he’s black:

Ripped that one past his ear.

[UConn126]

Phil the thrill with a rippin one timer.

Wild stuff. Was thinking he looked really slow and useless earlier in this game.

If you're Colorado or Vegas do you intentionally lose in order to face Arizona instead of Chicago?

If you're Colorado or Vegas do you intentionally lose in order to face Arizona instead of Chicago?

i doubt either team is scared of AZ or Chi who are both absolutely awful teams

 

[Bruinaura]

Well, if the Preds lose, maybe they'll get Lafreniere.
