It’s unreal to suck at your job like that. FFS listen and report that. Record it and listen to it 20 times if needed. Hell, if a statement is obscure to you, ask a follow-up question to clarify. How hard is it?

Went back and watched the interview, and yeah Dater got it completely wrong. It's like english wasn't this guy's first language or something.

That doesn't always prevent folks from wielding it better than Dater...

This after I just got done defending him when naming someone else in something he reports
This is what can make it difficult to defend at times. Last time it was an accurate statement he made that Avs Twitter even backed up. This time it's the opposite...

Is he wearing 83 because that's one thing she can say, or did she learn 83 because its her brother's number? Either way that's pretty cool.

Gigantor The Goalie
Speak for the Goalies
There's a stark contrast happening in net this season and it's fascinating to watch. At one end of the rink you have Mike Smith who is doing what Flames fans wanted from Brian Elliott the last time they were in the playoffs, make a save! He's doing whatever he can to make the save resulting in the over dramatics we're seeing on a consistent basis. In a way it's reminiscent of Tim Thomas during the Bruins Cup run. The goalie makes the save and the team clears the rebound. What his team is lacking is the offensive punch the Bruins had that year.
Grubauer is impacting the game not only through saves but through his rebound control. He's not forcing the Avs to consistently be looking to gather up rebounds. The Flames offense has it tough because they are faced with the issue of taking the shot and that ending their offensive time. They are essentially left with the choice of holding onto the puck hoping for the perfect shot or taking the shot and knowing there's a high chance of their offensive push being ended right there. It's beautiful to watch someone so calm rarely scrambling and giving themselves the best chance to make the next save. That Compher rebound goal doesn't happen on Grubauer because he wouldn't be doing a barrel roll giving up the top part of the net.

He's said before he started wearing 83 simply because that's what the Sharks handed him when he came into the league, but now we know why he kept it.
