That's especially what worries me. There are actual expectations now. Eakins doesn't get results, Eakins goes.

Or a goalie.

I hope Dallas Eakins doesn't end up one of those coaches who gets one shot at coaching in the NHL and is never re-hired. He shouldn't be judged by this awful Oilers team.

I like how everyone is all "yay CBC finally has a woman involved in HNIC" (*) but as soon as you make a comment pointing to that fact you get branded as sexist. * = Cassie Campbell doesn't count. Convinced she was a cyborg.

This late CBC game is forcing me to switch to SNL unfortunately.

Big fan of the new rule the NHL implemented this season where the Leafs are allowed to win shootouts! ~3-0!

Hey now... I warned you! XMW is all about young guys working with their buddies in front of their friends doing every spot they've ever seen on DVD/youtube. It's not everyone's thing. I would highly suspect you are correct and the referee was someone's dad or uncle. He's worse on the rest of the show - especially the 6 way elimination match they did where he pretty much counts 3 on every move but everyone ignores him.

Watched this match today and thought it was pretty awesome if you're a fan of absolutely sick innovative spots and moves that look like they kill the other dude: Belial/Tornado vs Fulgore I y II from XMW

So many games... so much channel surfing... today it finally feels like hockey is back unlike Tuesday/Wednesday.

"What's that Bruce? I can't hear you because I've got my two Stanley Cup rings plugging my ears." EDIT:

Whoa there Patrick, calm down. It's just the first game and you won in a blowout. Chillax.

4 points in the bank. How about that BOLLAND kid? Good thing I didn't call him out on twitter after the first period or anything. Reimer vs Bernier. Who will crack first?

No video to link to but when CMLL switched rising young star Fugaz from that gimmick to his current Ramstein gimmick back in 2001 he was set for a huge push. However in his debut match he botched a dive so badly and to make it worse he injured himself. 12 years later he is still working opening matches without ever having received a second chance for a push... and to make matters worse the incident is so well remembered the announcers constantly mention it when he appears on TV or when they are discussing awful debuts. Sucks to be Ramstein.

Oooooooooooooohhhhhhh boy. Oilers are in for a rude awakening from Eakins tomorrow at practice.

Wow. Trouba just about decapitated Hall. That would have been tragic.

Good fight in Oilers/Jets game. Nobody got hurt. Crowd loved it. I'm sure the media will be sure to mention it tomorrow.

This Oilers team does not seem much different than last year's team so far. I was promised defence by Mr. Eakins!

This talking point always amuses me when UFC runs like 3 major shows in 4 weeks & overall there is at least 1 if not 2 MMA major events per week. (or I assume they are major events since Dave/Bryan spend so much time discussing them) Wasn't there an 8 hour UFC show the other month? Or back-to-back shows that equalled 8 hours of TV?

Leafs win. Reimer playing spectacular. Habs players getting stretchered. Habs players getting knocked out. Habs players turtling all night. This night is my hockey wet dream.

Andrei Markov is the worst. The absolute dirt worst. His NHL days are long over.

I loved the IWRG Sunday main event. Blood, brawling, mask ripping, guys going splat... everything you want out of a stip match. Also, the secret envelope deal was pretty neat. Fuego/Guerrero Maya Jr./Stuka Jr. vs Invasores from Friday was really fun. Titan/Niebla Roja was good too although they started rough. The opener was the best match on C3 so you know that show was a total joke. Maya/Virus was just too short to be anything but we'll fix that this Sunday I hope. I need to watch Dinastia/Mini Abismo but there's hockey tonight.

Was that a picture after the robbery or after they found out the Heroes Inmortales lineup?

Dave had many points about the match - one of which was that the two guys were shortening their careers taking such big risks and it bothered him watching it. Seems weird to then a week later call an MMA match great (& talk about how much fun it was to watch) when two guys ended up in the hospital. Total hypocrisy. Dave even went as far as to invent a Sombra knee injury as one of his talking points. "This guy is working on a bad knee and struggling to do all his moves." Sombra did suffer a knee injury a month before the match but was fine a week or two later. He said he was fine, people who work with him said he was fine and people who are around him daily say he's fine. Yet somehow from all the way in California Dave diagnosed him as having a bad knee which was effecting his performance.

Awesome brawl! Rudos vs rudos is the best when they actually act like rudos instead of one team deciding to play tecnicos. These two teams just went at it from the start with MS-1/Satanico/Espectro deciding the ring belonged to them and not letting any of their opponents enter without a beating. The comeback was fantastic since it wasn't set up a mile away and the crowd was just about ready to explode. The brawl extending into the third fall only with the tables turned made it all the better and I was okay with the low blow finish since the match was all about hate anyways. One of the better matches of the disc.
