GDT: 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs thread

[drganon]

Geez, I only managed to call one series right in the west, the stars over the wild. I was a little better in the east, I called the capitals and lighting over the flyers and wings, but whiffed on the panthers and rangers.

I read the thread about this on the main page and someone stated it hasn't happened since 1983. There must have been some scheduling conflicts somewhere.

J Biebs dumb ass is in DC tomorrow so I will just blame it on his 5'4" ass.

Why is Jeremy Roenick still on TV? I havent been able to stand him for about the last 10 seasons.

So that if Milbury murders somebody on the set, it's someone who deserves it?

i really wish rogers would stop with all the ****ing crosby v. ovechkin bs it is way played out and boring

if anything this series should be about kessel v. oshie

 

[AD Skinner]

I actually kind of like Roenick. I disagree with most of what he says, but he has a similar "I'll say whatever I want" kind of attitude that makes Charles Barkley so hilarious. I kind of wish he'd dial that up and just commit to being the class clown. Also, he's the only one of the analysts that had any real notoriety as a player. Milbury's playing days were before my time, but I know what a crappy executive he was. The other guys they have on (Jones, Boucher, Carter, Weekes off the top of my head) were journeymen at best. I do like Jones for the most part though. When he and Milbury are on together my wife calls them the two Fred Flintstones.

I'm becoming more and more confident the Caps are going all the way. It just seems like they find a way to win no matter what situation.

Oh. But he's complaining that the Canadian station......never mind.

Talking about "things that get old...."

 

[the halleJOKEL]

i would rather hear about crosby vs ovechkin infinitely actually

 

[Joe McGrath]

Malkin vs. Ovechkin is better at this point. But Rogers isn't going to be promoting that.

crosby had one shot and was -3

and it has nothing to do with anything canadian

it is just that does anyone honestly care about crosby vs. ovehckin? it was an interesting narrative, sorta, like a decade ago. but p sure this is penguins and capitals, not just two players

 

[tarheelhockey]

Their OP asked for help with the GDT. No big deal really, save the big guns for later.

For those fans who will tune in anyway, probably not.

But such story lines, even if stale to regular fans, are still effective for luring in more causal viewers. In ratings it's comes down to both numbers and demos and it's a tried and true formula.

i still think they would be smarter to market it about tj oshie

his significant other is hot af and i know how they like to put pretty faces on the screen as often as possible

 

[Ole Gil]

Drouin looked pretty amazing today. A shame nothing was finagled to get him to Carolina. Certainly was a joke to have him playing in the AHL.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Orpik is such a piece of ****.

 

[DaveG]

Orpik is such a piece of ****.

That team is loaded with them. Even Ovechkin is a dirty ****er that never gets called on it, leaving his feet on quite literally every big hit he gives out.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Orpik is such a piece of ****.

Water is wet.

I really want someone to take down the Caps this year.

 

[HisIceness]

Orpik is such a piece of ****.

**** that dude.

 

[HisIceness]

Pittsburgh ties the series.
