Lmao! Kathryn tappen just called out milbury for going into the stands with a shoe!! Hahahaha

 

[Rubi]

Two awesome 1st lines playing in the Avs Flames game tonight.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

This has to be the last year the Hawks get this many nationally televised games , right ? Don't know why anyone thought after last season it was a good idea to put a struggling Hawks team on national television this much, AGAIN . Nobody could've actually thought Chicago was a contender.

The 14-15 Sabres, one of the worst teams of all-time, stunk it up on national television on 11 different occasions that season.

Do not underestimate how much NBC prioritizes ratings.

 

[Rubi]

Jankowski with the Flames 2nd goal! Assisted by Bennett and Gio.
2-0 Flames in the 1st

 

[Paper]

Monahan's struggling out there early.

 

[DropIt]

Cant decide which team is more shallow. Colorado or Edmonton

 

[204hockey]

Don't say taint!

touche.. touche..

Its not like awful teams generate good ratings . Yeah certain teams have alot more fans than other but when those teams suck most people don't watch them and why would they ? Nobody likes to watch their team lose .

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

Mike Milbury saying something about how "he doesn't know what he was thinking" and talk about a phrase that aptly sums up his general managing career as well. Seems like Milbury does a lot of not fully thinking about what he's getting himself into.

 

[Rubi]

Looks like this thread isn't Live tonight. Somebody forget to flip the switch??

Considering they've scored 18 goals in their last 3 games and lost 2 of them. I don't think depth scoring is the issue here

 

[Avs44]

7 goals allowed on 21 shots last night, 2 goals allowed on 4 shots so far tonight. Avs goalies.

They must.

I can't think of another reason why Buffalo has been on nationally as much as they have been in recent years.

 

[Rubi]

Flames cough up the puck and MacKinnon scores. 2-1

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Man alive Monahan has been trash tonight. He was excellent on Monday, too.

14 goals.

Jack Eichel would be my guess . Hoping to generate some buzz with one of the best young US players that is not playing on a Canadian team. This year Sabres are actually finally pretty fun to watch though.

Does't explain 14-15 team on a mission to tank for McDavid or Eichel got so many nationally televised games though . No idea on that front. Roster looks dreadful looking at it.

 

[Rubi]

2-2 in Flames Avs game.

 

[Paper]

Worst period by Monahan in a long time. Hanafin was terrible on first goal and played second poorly.

 

[kducks]

Hey look the Ducks can score after all.

 

[Teemu]

 

[Mass]

Great timing there with an impressive defensive sequence in their own zone

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Austin Watson ready to smack a bitch.

 

[Mez]

Chicago has been playing alot better lately. 6-3-1 in last 10.

 

[bdub24]

Predators play to their competition like nobody else in the league this year I think.
