GDT: Silicon Valley @ Tinseltown 7:30

[SharksFan17]

Nice pass from Dillonson to Mierson

 

[Pavelski2112]

I've really been liking how they're shifting assignments right now. Like forwards are rotating up for defensemen pretty seamlessly lately.

The biggest change lately has been that their forwards are supporting far more at all areas of the ice.

Remember when Jonathan Quick was good?

 

[jabelskey]

Yeah without a doubt, this team is (more) capable and deeper than I thought

 

[drunksage]

I want that.

There were actually 4-packs with 4 different labels (including the colors of the 49ers, Giants, and Warriors), but they were all the same name and same beer. I ended up just grabbing one can.

WTF is Kane doing in your avatar?

 

[LA Shark]

I still certainly wouldnt call us deep.

Best 7 DMan core in the league

Just got home what’d I miss?

 

[PackShark]

Forgive me if this has been talked about, but does Kendall Coyne add anything of value to the broadcast. Seems like Randy and Bakes are really having to force her to talk at times.

You're 2-past Timo Time with hopefully 1 more to go.

he looks like he’s just going through the motions now

 

[SpaceCoastShark]

Typical TMac team, shoot as much as possible, even if they are low-percentage shots and hope they go in. So glad he's gone. What a waste of some really great teams.

 

[Pavelski2112]

Helping his team straight to a top-5 pick. Great team guy.

She has some pretty good insights, she’s just really shaky and comes off awkward at times.
If she can get over the nerves, I’d say she’s valuable to the broadcast.

 

[Coily]

Jones and Vlasic play that puck so poorly...

 

[jakeytown]

I’m a few past timo time. Oh you meant goals? Thought you meant beers!

No, she does not.

You sot!

[slocal]

Looks like he went a few rounds with Apollo Creed.

 

[slocal]

Wait, is that a puck hitting him? Gotdamn.

1) She's new. She's going to have a hard time finding her groove and getting comfortable at the gig. Everyone always thinks it's a lot easier job than it actually is.

2) She suffers because it's a 3-person booth when historically most hockey broadcasts and a lot of sports ones in general are just two-person booths. It's hard to break that dynamic and find openings to actually add something, never mind the fact that being the 3rd person means that by the time it's your opportunity a lot of the most relevant stuff has been said already.

 

[LeftHeartInSF]

We saw Timo Time, then Twomo Time. Will we see Threemo Time?

Yeah, I'd like to see her when she gets up to speed. Part of the issue is that she isn't keeping up when they're splitting up the stoppages in play between the two color commentators. I haven't observed her really filling out her analysis with those little semi-obvious "this is why this observation matters" kinda follow-up sentences either.
