Tabe Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 For tonight's Dallas/Detroit game, we got the ESPN crew of Leah Hextall and Kevin Weekes. Holy cow, Hextall is terrible. It was painfully obvious she only knew half the Red Wings roster, resulting in her calling wrong names over and over and mispronouncing others. Her cadence is weird as she ramps up her enthusiasm in a strange way and then doesn't pay it off, just trailing off her voice. Alex Nedeljkovic made a ridiculous sliding blocker save and her call was a quiet "bit of a save there from Nedeljkovic", LOL. She also repeats phrases even more frequently than the average PBP announcer. So, yeah, not a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, if you're -7 (Foegele) or -10 (Ryan) through 15 games, especially on a good team, you're probably playing pretty poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 Florida just became the third team in NHL history to start 10-0-0 at home. Paul Laus and Brian Skurdland would be proud.

RIPPA Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Rangers/Sabres was bat shit yesterday Rangers won with a goal with 1 second left and that was after the teams scored 4 goals in an 82 second span in the 2nd period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Quote The Montreal Canadiens made sweeping changes to their front office on Sunday, firing general manager and executive vice president Marc Bergevin and assistant general manager Trevor Timmins, as well as senior vice president of public affairs and communications Paul Wilson. Former New York Rangers general manager Jeff Gorton has been hired to serve as executive vice president of hockey operations. Gorton was with the Rangers from 2015 up until being replaced by Chris Drury last May. Bergevin had been general manager in Montreal since 2012 and was in the final year of his contract with the Canadiens. Montreal had tried negotiating an extension with Bergevin last summer but never came to an agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I am not sure if that is supposed to be a joke Twitter account or not but Kane did clear waivers Quote San Jose Sharks forward Evander Kane has cleared waivers and is expected to be assigned to the AHL. Previous reports have made it clear that the Sharks would retain salary in order to facilitate a trade of the veteran forward, and Kane’s new agent Dan Milstein of Gold Star Hockey told Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK TV that there are “multiple options on the table.” Milstein even included the Vancouver Canucks specifically as one of the teams he will be contacting as he tries to get his client a new home. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2021/11/evander-kane-clears-waivers-has-multiple-options.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Forbes had a story today that claimed the Coyotes are up for sale and looking to move to Houston I guess that is not really breaking news (at least the leaving AZ part) Anyway - the team immediately put out a statement saying the report was BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizium Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Yeah, the Smashville one is pretty great. Not super big on the script, but don't hate it either. If you lose it and increase the size of that logo thing (I'm guessing its the municipal flag?) you would have a classic. I just don't like how the C is squished on there. The Tampa one is straight balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I've said this many times but the NHL's obsession with third jerseys that are just a word on the diagonal sucks complete ass. The only good one is the original RANGERS. Everything else looks like dollar store shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tampa one is straight balls. The three stars are from the Tennessee flag, in the shape of a guitar pick. Also, the font is supposed to evoke old-school concert posters.

RIPPA Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 At this point - I really don't see how the NHL doesn't cancel its participation in the Olympics They have already passed their threshold for games missed to trigger the out if they want to use it and a couple of more teams are teetering on having their own outbreaks (like the Capitals have at least 3 players in the protocol at the moment). And clearly the NHL doesn't care about bad PR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
