OMG! Who is this A.J. Molesco person? I am not a hurtful person, but I simply "had to" shut off the Nash/T.B. game due to the irritating feeling I was getting from listening to his/her voice.
I mean, that's how bad it was.....couldnt even decipher what gender. Had it been a Rangers game, I would've muted. I would take a combo of Mike Milbury and Pierre McGuire 1000x over consecutively (no less) not to EVER have to hear that voice again.
Please forgive me Lord. I didnt wanna watch that game anyway.

It's a woman and a clear political play. I'll just leave it at that.

Watch it Tony :sarcasm:

At another Stars game. The experience with such a limited audience is so jarring. You can hear so much, and the game also seems so different without the artificial/group crowd noise.

If you were a vet at the end of your career dealing with this covid season on a team that probably wont make the playoffs in this divisions, is it possible you'd lose the passion for the grind and just want to spend time with your family?

It’s possible, but he signed prior to the season meaning he knew what was going on. It would make more sense to me if it was the last season of a multi year deal. Maybe he just had enough Torts drama.
 
Hextall and Burke in for Pittsburgh.

This will either be a surprising marriage or they will eat each other alive.

Wondering if either will have the patience or longevity for a true rebuild, because that will be what it takes. Not easy or quick

That’s not a job I’d be crazy about getting. They should start looking into a rebuild, but how do you sell that to Sid? I doubt Mario let’s Hextall trade him unless Sid demands it and he doesn’t seem like that kind of guy.
 
Was that Butch Goring during the Isles/Pens shootout who tried to call in advance what each player was going to do on their shootout attempt, only to have every player do something different than what he predicted?

:laugh:
 
There being potential lottery changes are absolutely a result of teams bitching about the Rangers hitting on the last two lotteries right?

I could absolutely see Yzerman complaining about that

what are the changes they’re discussing? At least they didn’t tank the season to get picks years in a row...ahem mr. Mario and the Pens....

people always complain because there is no perfect answer...you have 2 conflicting thoughts that everyone agrees with. 1) you can't reward teams that are intentionally tanking and 2)the purpose of the draft order is to help teams that are legitimately bad...the problem though is that you can't protect against one without potentially impacting the other. and to that point how do you prove who is tanking? where the red wings legitimately bad? or where they bad because they were tanking and made the decision to not field a legit team?

1995-2012 the draft lottery was so you could only move up 4 spots. so you could only get the #1 pick if you were a bottom 5 team...everyone argued that it encouraged tanking to get into that bottom 5. so in 2015 they changed it to make the odds lower for the bottom 4 teams to make it less beneficial to tank....2016 they went a step further and made the lottery for the top 3 picks. to further discourage tanking for bubble teams that might not make the playoffs....every time it changes its because people complained. now the complaint is to go back to how it was from 95-12. but we already know the flows that has so it would only be a matter of time before people complain about that.

and I also think its unfair and inaccurate in a way to say that the rangers won twice since last year's draft lottery wasn't normal with double lottery. if you want to argue that was unfair and stupid thats one thing. but it doesn't prove that the current process is broken cause it wasn't really the current process.
 
Steven Stamkos on the Covid-19 list, good thing they had that super bowl party on Sunday. :eyeroll:

"But they were wearing masks"

Yeah, I'm sure nobody took their masks off to stuff their face with hot wings and beer. Like EVERYONE does during the Super Bowl

It’s still too early to tell. But that is the last thing they should have been doing, and you heard about Vegas pulling a player who tested positive? Couldn’t get the results before the game? It’s been a mess.

Puljujarvi tested positive yesterday but the team still played. Oh well...
