Post-Game Talk: OPENING NIGHT! October 8th - VAN @ CGY - 8:00MT (Sportsnet)

[MonahanTheMan]

Was at the game last night with the GF. She downright said several times "I don't know much about hockey but man Shifty(her nickname for Gaudreau) is good!!!"

Was thoroughly unimpressed by Wideman, Colbourne and Bollig last night. Wideman for obvious reasons. Colbourne because the puck died on his stick far too often in the offensive zone (especially when his line mates in Byron and Gaudreau were probably our best). Bollig because he was mostly invisible.

Props to McGratton helping getting the team to wake the **** up. I think it was early in the second when one of our guys got crunched and he came out and laid his two big hits. It was the first time the crowd truly woke up last night in the Dome.

The first was just off season rust, I get that. But man was it painful to watch both teams.

Russel and Backlund were the only two players on the whole team that could enter the zone and keep the puck on their sticks. That has to change. Far too much unsuccessful dump and chase last night. Raymond tried but every time it did work his line mates had gone off for a change.

Lastly, unfortunately Vrbata looks quite good with the Sedins

I demand you change your custom user text to "man Shifty is good"

Might be too long. I'll try!

It's damn great to see a GDT so full of posts on this board. Once the GF isn't around 24/7 I'll definitely be visiting more again.

Yup, kick her to the curb. It's hockey time!

Can't! My tower and timbits disagree!

Add Johnny to that list.

Consistently it was those two. He was 60-40 ish.

Looks like Feaster's given up on being a GM in the NHL ever again.

I'm confused if he wants to slander Burke for not offering Hartley a contract, or slander Hartley, the guy who Feaster brought in in the first place.

Feaster needs to grab a snickers.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Interesting, I should tweet back at him.

I doubt he would slander Hartley, he's one of his best friends

Wow, some of those replies are pretty harsh

I'd like to hear what Feaster thinks of his prized FA signing being a healthy scratch, among his many blunders. Should have kept his mouth shut.

 

[Anglesmith]

Yeah, but he and Burke were buddies, too.

EDIT: I guess it was probably ownership.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Yeah, but he shouldn't have opened his mouth in the first place

Either way, I feel really bad for feaster reading those comments, no one deserves that

People calling him fat?

Yeah, calling him a fat **** and whatnot... No one needs that

Agreed people are ******. 2 seconds of forethought on Feasters part would be all it took for people not to be bashing him though. I don't condone it but surely he could've seen this kind of thing coming with a comment like that.

yes, it's all Feasters fault people are calling him fat.

Next time I have some ******* call me fat from a passing car as I walk I will remember it's my fault for leaving the house.

Really man?

Essentially I said if he provokes people he just shouldn't be surprised when the **** heads come and say stuff like that. It's simply the reality of the Internet, where anonymity rules. I said I don't condone it. You seem to have taken my post in the wrong way, sorry for that.

It's still blaming the victim, no matter how you slice it.

He has the right to be an idiot without being called fat.

Idiotic statements will garner idiotic replies unfortunately. I'll agree it's unfortunate and leave it at that.
