GDT: Minnows vs Predators 7:30pm NBCSCA

[hockeyball]

I love the idea that somehow Nashville is elite, but the Sharks, who defeated them in the playoffs just 2 seasons ago and went on to the cup finals are middle-of-the-pack... right.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Who cares. He's just mad his breakaway goal ended up not mattering.

Sharks match up well with Nashville. Always have.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

On Instagram, he said in the comments of this photo that he was misquoted. What he said was that Nashville’s performance in the first period would have been unsatisfactory even if they were a middle of the pack team, and he went on to call San Jose one of the best teams in the league.

 

[Alwalys]

well shit. yeah that's a pretty bad misquote. seems like a good kid by that quote and now i feel bad for laughing at the barracuda barbs lol

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Yup and I feel bad for making them. Kind of hope he sticks with Nashville now.

I like how you keep trolling people on Twitter (gackle) and Instagram (Rocco), and even more that these people are responding to you

 

[Doctor Soraluce]

I was piggybacking on your post. I was in no way contesting it. You made a statement about Thornton that I was adding to.
That led me to voice my opinion how others here only complain.
Nothing bad pointed at you.
I apologize for getting your ire up. Not my intention at all.

Ok... that's not how it read at all. Maybe you should edit it... I would be fine to edit my reply if you did. Just to be clear, I'm as happy and excited as anyone to have Jumbo back and starting to do Jumbo type things. Going to be a sad day for Sharks fan when he hangs them up.

Me too. I actually feel bad that Rocco saw my message and responded though. Now I’m hoping for him to stick in the NHL.

 

[Doctor Soraluce]

It's hilarious that that's what he'd want to go with when that same team dropped three in the third in their home barn to beat them not too long ago. They've let that middle-of-the-pack team drop three goals in two separate periods on them. Maybe Rocco should stop underestimating his competition.

never mind. Just saw that he was brutally misquoted...

 

[Doctor Soraluce]

Alaskanice is good people and deserves the benefit of the doubt.

I would have but that is not how his comment read in any interpretation.

 

[Doctor Soraluce]

They've had a perennial playoff contender for 15 years with no championships. There's only so much you're going to be able to tell people to appreciate what you have when it's been had for so long yet lack the results that are actually desired.

There is merit to that. If given a choice between a team that has good to great chance every year to win it all or a team that wins once and then sucks for a decade, I will always take the consistently competitive team. The football team I follow won a few championships when I was a kid and none since while sucking most of the time. I barely watch anymore and there is very little joy in the game for me. They way the Sharks do it is light years better IMO. They always give me hope and optimism.

That's what PMs are for.

On a post about his wedding anniversary no less. Brutal!

Can I get some more info on this? Sounds amazing lol

Edit: just saw it. Your original comment cracked me up, but pretty cool response from Rocco.

 

[209]

Rocco was born in east bay.. not sure when he moved away for hockey

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

He shouldn't have said something that could easily get manipulated. He should have just stuck with the cliche 'we didn't play well' stuff.

Then people would complain about how hockey players are so boring and have no personality.

Maybe but it wouldn't be thrown in his or his team's direction over saying something stupid.

Isn't the onus on the reporter to get it right? Consider what he really said I have no problem with it.
