The Del Preston Around The League Thread 2018-19 v5

Rick Ball is terrible. Biggest lamest homer in all of sports. I was talking to a Flames fans last week and he was saying he think Ball sucks badly.

Quinn makes mistakes but is 1000 times better than Ball.

Between Ball, Hrudey and Francis, the flames group is a joke.

 

[GodPucker]

Ball was a Canucks guy before

Agreed and apparently even some Flames fans agree. He turns off the sound while watching the game and prefers listening to games just to avoid those idiots.

I should try that, not like Quinn ever gets the players names right or anything

Add their radio guy in there too. Derek Willis or something similar. His commentary along with Loubardias is seizure inducing.

Peter Mahr was pretty good at his craft, how they picked that dweeb to fill his shoes is head scratching. I know some think the same about Michaels and Philips but I'll take him every day of the year over Willis.

Tkachuk with some cheap stuff at the buzzer. God will somebody just pile drive his a** through the ice please.

 

[Coffey]

Damn I can't post in the Hitchcock thread on the mains anymore cause I called an Avs fan a spaz.

 

[GodPucker]

god I LOATHE Vegas

Skittles will be right back out there though. Always has to dramatize everything.

Yes, it’s hard to say with Gaudreau due to his constant embellishments and faking of injuries, pain, etc.

He definitely took a shot to the head, but in this case the boards actually prevented a whiplash type of motion which is the usual cause of a concussion.

I suspect Johnny will be back in the 2nd, and I hope he is okay.

 

[GodPucker]

I love how people say jhonny slipped. He went down like a quarter back when he seen Gudas coming lol.

 

[RipsADrive]

That was so obviously accidental.

Should never be compared to any of the other dirty shit Gudas has done.

 

[GodPucker]

I didn't even realize Smith had such good #'s the last 6. And Flames fans keep telling me we are wining just on goaltending.

FFS look at their goalies numbers recently. Like winning 9/11 is sustainable.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Watching Eberle play, looks like he's settled into the same lackadaisical lazy play that got him thrown out of Edmonton.

He's just out there. Never does anything.

 

[Cloned]

I hate that Vegas is starting to get some of that ridiculous shooting % again.

 

[GodPucker]

I'm curious to hear what Islander fans think Of ebs. I bet they don't care if he stays or goes.

 

[Cloned]

Islanders have no execution right now. This is quite possibly more frustrating to watch than the McLellan-led Oilers.

 

[BlackDogg]

Ebs waiting for the offer sheets to roll in.

 

[Cloned]

You got two minutes to tie and take the lead in this one, Eberle.

 

[Hynh]

Ebs waiting for the offer sheets to roll in.

The Oilers will sign him in August and put him on a line with Spooner.

 

[GodPucker]

Mr Bean aka Kneeordano scores SH

I seriously forgot Nolan Patrick was even in the NHL

 

[BlackDogg]

The Oilers will sign him in August and put him on a line with Spooner.

He would be ok for the third or fourth line I suppose.

 

[Cloned]

Another day, another night in the darkest timeline on the OOT scoreboard.

Straight from the Eberle thread:

Eberle is the better scorer for sure. Both are skilled with ho sang being the better skater. Last game I thought Eberle played well. Created chances and had plenty himself just did not finish. Both are soft and a liability defensively.

After watching the last 2 home games in person it is so obvious to me that Eberle is having trouble fitting into Trotz's system. He does not back check and is always the last man back into the D zone. He is allergic to all board play. I would be surprised if Lou doesn't move him before the deadline. Watching Nelson hustle while Eberle floats is telling. Both are playing for contracts. Or should be.

Dat great Calgary D.

all tied up at 2
