[Summer Rose]

Boo.

 

[TheFurryPickle]

fyi speed cameras are EVERYWHERE here.. its that bad.

I was wondering where they got all the boards and glass from. In the side shots you can see they stripped Obrien Ice house. Wonder what that looks like right now lol

 

[Summer Rose]

Carcone with another spin down the wing. I love it.

 

[TheFurryPickle]

Good games, thanks for coming down you guys and LA.

 

[Summer Rose]

And the clock strikes 2:49 a.m.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Meh, not much going on offensively, but its preseason. These games aren't supposed to be memorable. Last night was the exception to that.

 

[moosemeister]

I thought Dermott played two great games. Something to keep an eye out on down the stretch during camp.

 

[Dr Quincy]

The Sportsnet broadcast keeps calling Doughty “Jacob Dough-tee”.

I see what you did.

If only there was some kinda gentleman’s agreement where a player can just totally get to ignore the CHL agreement that screws over tons of other players

The NHL doesn't want to ignore the CHL agreement. It benefits them. They get totally free player development in the best JR league in the world. It saves $$$. Owners like that.

He's referring to the Kraken and Wright getting an exemption while other players/teams have to abide by the rule.

What other players would have played 4 OHL seasons if not for an OHL season being cancelled, and are within a week of hitting the 20 year old cut-off anyway?

I don't think there are "tons" of players being screwed by that.

The teams were training there all week, and the rink is intact. So I have zero idea where you got the idea that it was stripped for the rink at Rod Laver.

They have a player who's name is Jacob Doty. That bald guy who fought Brown.

 

[Jakey53]

Safe to stay these are not your Rick Tocchet - John Chayka Coyotes

You first noticed that now? Little slow to the party.

 

[AZviaNJ]

One of my big takeaways from the games as well. He looked very comfortable.

Jake, you’re in mid season form…..snarky as ever.

 

[Mosby]

And the clock strikes 2:49 a.m.

I made it through one period

 

[Jakey53]

Legend gives as good as he takes.

Meh...

Legend gives as good as he takes.

I haven't had to turned the knob past 2 yet.

 

[Jakey53]

Meh...



I haven't had to turned the knob past 2 yet.

Well, you are 2 ahead of me.

Someone on the broadcast pointed out that Rod Laver was known as 'the Rocket'...having coming late to hockey, I suck at the sport's history, and growing up a tennis player I knew that nickname was Laver's and not whoever "Maurice Richard" was.

Now I feel bad for not finding a way of going to these games - I've seen Wimbledon, Flushing Meadow, and Roland Garros, and that would have completed the set of my youth. (And I grew up near the other Melbourne, the one in Florida)

Edit: ...if for no other reason than there would have been at least one Coyotes jersey in the crowd...for all they went on and on about all the different teams repped, I didn't notice one Arizona one.

Laver had one of the hardest serves in tennis. He was left handed and his left wrist was an inch in circumference larger than his right. The forearm was 1 1/2 inches larger. The difference was visible on TV.


One of the writers said he saw all 32 team jerseys represented.

The merchandise stores got wiped out.

 

[TheLegend]

Well, you are 2 ahead of me.

Well when you're punching with lightweights you have to carry things along.

 

[Jakey53]

Well when you're punching with lightweights you have to carry things along.

I wish I was a lightweight.

 

[TheLegend]

I wish I was a lightweight.

That’s your wife’s cooking.

(damn this is too easy)

 

[Jakey53]

No it's not. That's the problem.

Evonne Goolagong!​
