Did he kneecap Thatcher Demko? That would have been the one real obstacle for the Oilers, who were everyone’s preseason Cup pick anyway.

It’s definitely something that works, makes sense though a lot of things are more mental.Been there, done that.
Spoiler alert: having a HoF goalie trumps sports psychos
I mean he got injured and so did Boeser shit luck sure but it’s part of the game, getting to a final is hard but remaining healthy is more difficult and that’s part of it. I think the real obstacle is this stacked Florida team that has been playing incredibly. The Oilers defence was also just as incredible in rd3. As much as was made about Nurse he really did step up the last 2 games and has been a shot blocking machine. Florida I feel has the personnel to shut down McDrai and will be their toughest matchup. It in turn Oilers will also be Florida’s toughest matchup as well. Really looking forward to this series to see how it plays out.Did he kneecap Thatcher Demko?

terrible.Goddam, the finals could go to June 24 if it’s a 7 game series.
I didn’t really have an opinion on him until now. Both Canuck and Oiler twitter/social media is toxic. But calling the team a joke after going 7 games in the second round after a complete turn around with Tocchet and co is pretty wild. You can’t let negative things on social media get in your head and call the Oilers team “we” when you are part of the national broadcast team you have to remain neutral and professional at all times like Bieksa. I mean not even the biggest Leafs homers on that panel have ever said “we”. He’s better suited for an Oilers podcast environment not a HNIC panel.Will Sportsnet keep that bum gazdic after the shit he's caused online

He needs the job. 147 nhl games and like 9 years on the minors. He didn’t make 8 figures in his career. He’s along the same lines as Dave Tomlinson. Not a Bieksa.Gadzic is on the marquee broadcast for the NHL, and will be on the panel in the Stanley Cup Final. He really needs to grow up. Yes, there are idiots on social media. There are all kinds of terrible people out there that are going to say mean things about you that undoubtedly cross the line when you're a public broadcaster. The key is to be an adult and not let it get to you.
He isn't being an online troll himself that is doing it for business reasons. He is trying to be a serious hockey analyst on HNIC. He genuinely looked hurt by these comments and it is genuinely sticking with him in his head and this will only make it worse. Going off like this is the kind of thing that might cost you your job, a job that thousands of ex-players would undoubtedly kill for. I feel bad for him, but not everyone is cut out for this business.
He was drafted in round 7 in 2003 (he was passed over in 2002 draft). Guy turns 40 this year. Made 2 Cup finals. Just a great career.
He turns 40 in July. So, basically played til 40. I mean, Burns returns next season and turns 40 in March while Suter turns 40 in January.Really thought little Joe would play until his early 40s after last season but he really hit a wall by the playoffs. He was flat out finished by Round 2 and was a liability by Round 3.
Doesn't take away from his amazing career. Guy was a warrior for the Sharks and helped carry the Stars between 2020-2023 despite being in his late 30s. Realy shame he couldn't win a cup.

You can't say the things Gazdic said as a national broadcaster.
You can be biased and a homer towards your own team (Bob Cole & Jim Hughson were some of the best but you knew who they were rooting for), but when you start sounding like a drunk fan arguing with another drunk fan at a game, you can get your ass back down to the local radio level instead where it's more appropriate.
There's a level of professionalism required for the role, and unless you got the charisma of a Stephen A Smith & know exactly how to push and pull with your audience, you need to veer on the side of cautious to establish some credibility first.
