Miscellaneous NHL Talk XXII

[GKJ]

There's no good reason to watch NHL Network unless there's a game on, or if you're waking up in the morning, and want to see highlights while you're getting ready for work

NHL Network in general is a hunk of crap.

Yeah for the most part but the times I usually tend to watch it is when the choices in general aren't that great.

They have been streaming shows from Sportsnet this year which aren't too terrible.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

This is terrible news about former Flyers' head coach Pat Quinn.

As for Quinn, his health also has been in decline in the past year, so much so that selection committee chairman John Davidson was choked up with emotion as he told the 2014 inductees Friday that Quinn, 71, could not be on hand due to illness.

Asked about the stories that he and Quinn did not see eye to eye in their time together with the Leafs, Mats Sundin (HHOF Class of 2014) replied: "I had my best years playing for Pat. He was the guy who called me telling me I had gotten into the Hall. We were both emotional.

"I wish Gordie, Jean and Pat speedy recoveries."

Showing Buffalo on national TV in back to back weeks isn't a great way to get new viewers.

Instead of Pens-Habs Preds-Leafs Wings-Jackets Bolts-Isles
Really frustrating considering we have to wait a week between games.

NHL Network in general is a hunk of crap.

Ha. I kind of like it.

I used to fall asleep to it on accident and because they replay the highlights back to back to back to back often -- I would wake up and for some strange reason know all the scores from last night before I read them in the paper. I'd try to guess them over coffee to see how well the brainwashing worked. Pretty good at it for awhile.

 

[Appleyard]

I know it is early to be 'point watching' but if Arizona beat Washington tonight and the other games stay as they are that is a pretty great night for the Flyers.

Damn. I could never do that. I first got it the offseason Richards and Carter were traded and Bryz was signed. They had a radio show at the time that they would air talking about free agent moves and trades. I thought that was pretty cool but then they got rid of it I guess.

I just find the whole network too vanilla. That and too many reruns.

At #24 Claude Giroux. He's not point per game guy in regular season but he is in playoffs. I love that. Ultra competitor with A+ mitts #NHLrank

Probably but still flawed logic discounting him for years when he was just entering the league.

No doubt.

EDIT: Oh, HHoF not best current NHL players!

 

[The Rage Kage]

I career production when used to say people are good or even offensively. By that logic Jagr is the best player in the league.

 

[ILoveStephanieBrown]

It's sickening how underrated he's gotten. Not that it matters, because that doesn't stop him from being awesome, but I do wonder why it's happened.

I can't tell if it's a list for right now or a list when all is said done with active players. They make it sound like it's both but Malkin is #20 which is crazy either way.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Leafs deserve all of this.

I watched the wrong game and I'm sad about it.

 

[The Couturier Effect]

9 goals and James Neal had no points

 

[bennysflyers16]

Ya the Preds ain't tradin for Vinny. Watching Jets vs Devils, how do we lose to this team.

 

[Stizzle]

I just put on Toronto sports radio. It's obviously pretty hilarious tonight.

 

[Striiker]

Steve Simmons is just a next level beat writer. He directly asked Franson if the Leafs are trying to get their coach fired... I can't even...

On top of that he has the most punchable face I've ever seen. Sooo happy he's not a Philly writer.

You're not kidding. Whenever people call in you know it's going to be pure ****ing gold.

 

[Dirty but Good]

The Flames are a pretty fun team to watch right now.

T.J. Brodie looks like a potential offensive-defensman superstar, just on fire right now. That extension could really be a bargain for the Flames.

Dupuis out at least for 6 months with a blood clot in his lung.
