Johnny Gaudreau's shootout effort was Sedin levels of terribad. Eat shit Shames. FTFY. You're welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sabremike 2,170 Posted January 17, 2017 (For all you old school board members) CAPPY DOWN!!! The funny thing was they decided to do it the day after a 4-0 win. The big question is if he will also be kicked out of Garth Snow's basement where he is currently living? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death From Above 3,702 Posted January 17, 2017 Garth Snow will never leave. He's the NHL's common wart, curable in theory, immovable in practice. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death From Above 3,702 Posted January 17, 2017 Craig Button is actually hyping that the Jets should go after Ken Hitchcock in the offseason. Jesus, can the NHL get some new blood already? He won one championship, eighteen years ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a conspiracy theory that before he sold the team Wang secretly signed Garth to a long term DiPietro style deal and that's why he hasn't been fired.

People knock Sportsnet a lot, and lord knows they have plenty of really awful talking heads, but TSN has some pretty serious dingbats too. The time Button was grading prospects and was selling a guy by rating him 6 out of 5 in HEART AND INTANGIBLES was a real jump the shark moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oyaji 7,205 Posted January 18, 2017 He is so bad on commentary too. He clearly comes off as a guy that is fine at aggregating opinions but coming up with one of his own is not great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sabremike 2,170 Posted January 18, 2017 Rumor is that Isles are seeking permission to talk to Gallant. Not the worst idea but I'd rather see them bring in Kevin Dineen because he was a childhood hero and I'd like to see him get another shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RIPPA 29,108 Posted January 18, 2017 I am know it is just me but it seems like either scoring is way up or goaltending is way down this year (And I am sure the true is somewhere in between) I guess an 8-7 game followed by a 7-6 game is what raises my eyebrows this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are 11 goalies at 2.29 GAA or lower. The league leader in scoring* (McDavid) is averaging 1.1 points a game. 1992/93, this ain't * - To be fair, Sid is right behind McDavid but in 9 fewer games. He's sitting at 1.33 pts per game.

BobbyWhioux 2,162 Posted January 24, 2017 Hands up everyone who saw a 4 goal [all even strength] 3rd period from Old Man Marleau coming. He'll probably actually get to 500 this year now. [EDIT: to split hairs i think the "first since Lemieux" is specifically referring to it coming in a 3rd period. Still, though!] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar 2,093 Posted January 25, 2017 So slashing a stick without breaking it is now grounds for a penalty shot in the NHL. The Sharks are kinda good refs, they don't need you giving them free penalty shots. edit: so the fucking moron refs just called off a game tying goal for the Jets too. Hard to beat the six guys on the ice, and the zebras too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
