LOL. He's an acquired taste for sure. I grew up watching Hawks games so I've gotten used to it. Probably the same way people got used to Doc Emrick whose voice annoys the hell out of me.

Emrick is average in the voice regard... At least he is a play caller rather then story teller.
Someone should mail Eddie and Foley that they are alowed to talk about Hurricanes too on their national broadcast...

I am such a horrible person to say things like this on the anonymous web but: I really hate Eddies analyses.
 
Seriously. Eddie had the opportunity to say how much speed the Huricanes generated in the last chance, he went with his homer-ism. A lot of praise for Darling for that routine save on a rather weak backhander..

Nope. He's facing a trial in Colorado right now. We'll see either Pickard or the AHL back up.

Why the league didn't throw the book at him like Voynov is beyond me:

The trim blonde said that Varlamov kicked, beat, and dragged her by the hair, following a Halloween party on Oct. 28, 2013.

During the incident, he told her, "if we were not in America, I could have killed you."

Civil trial vs. criminal trial. That's about it. Details in Varlamov's deal were every bit as horrifying.

So if Voynovs would've been a civil trial, he'd have played the entire season until the court date? :shakehead

Varlamov's criminal proceedings were dismissed altogether, so they've only proceeded with a civil trial. As he's not being charged with a crime, the NHL is just ignoring the whole thing. Same story with Ribeiro, etc.

In other words, do whatever you want and the NHL will turn away, just don't get in trouble with the actual police. Well, unless you're ROR, because drunk driving isn't a big deal.

I hope I don't need to point out I'm being crass and sarcastic. I appreciate how the NHL has handled their criminal cases (minus O'Reilly's), but I think it's disgusting how they've handled some of the civil trial issues. Yes, I'm aware of Doughty's.
 
siiiiiigh

so sick of other pacific teams getting off the hook

arizona last night was the best, what was it, 4 shots on goal entering the 3rd? Minny had the game well in hand then Dubnyk just gave teh puck away with like a minute left. Arizona won in the shootout

Everyone is coming through and dropping turds except when they play us.

Nope his was a criminal case first but it got dropped because no other witnesses, no hospital visit.
Voynov happen after Ray Rice
 
is there like a real, constructive reason that there's constantly like 3-4 thinly veiled (or not at all) Karlsson threads going on the main board despite there already being an "Erik Karlsson discussion"? i'm honestly compelled to make a Drew Doughty discussion thread and bump it any time he does literally anything at all, i can definitely play this "totally unbiased" blind-homer-hype-train game
