GDT: Blues vs Avs. I want some Toasted Ravs. 1530 Fanduel Extra

Who’s after Minny?
I don't understand this line of thinking. A team's play-by-play announcer is paid to be a homer. If they weren't, they wouldn't be on TV/radio much longer.

I sailed the high seas for years, lots and lots of away broadcasts. I’m quite fond of a lot of other teams groups. They’re all homers.

There was only 1 team that was unwatchable. It was Colorado. I wouldn’t know about today’s broadcast, 0% chance I’m participating in that. Is nails on chalkboard or worse.

Interesting thing picked up on the mic there. Bolduc went over to the ref and showed blood from the inside of his nose and the ref said it had to be outside. That was not a rule I was aware of for double-minors.

I think that's a load of shit since we see double minor high sticking calls all the time because a player is bleeding inside their mouth.

The Blues CAN even pass The Avs IF we continue to play this well, AND The Avs lose several games, AND we get a lot of luck. It will start by The Blues beating The Avs again, at home next week.

With Snuggeruud, and his one-timer in the line-up, on 5 on 5 (helping solidify all Top 3 Lines, and best of ALL, helping solidify BOTH Power Play shifts, The Blues will be a LOT more competitive in The Playoffs.

Haha

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________Why the LOL????? You don't believe it's even possible that The Blues can pass The Avs??? Or, you don't believe that they actually will do that? OR, you don't believe the Blues will play Snuggeruud enough to matter in The Playoffs, OR, you don't believe Snuggeruud will play at all in The Playoffs?

Somehow, I don't think my serious post would make anyone roll in the aisles laughing so hard he'd pull a stomach muscle and tears would roll down from his or her eyes. Maybe I'm hoping for too much, but I don't think it's LOL - worthy, EVEN IF it were mathematically impossible for them to pass The Avs now.

I'm listening to the Avs broadcast and holy shit these guys are braindead

Couldn’t agree more with the Av’s announcers and their clear homerism. A quote from them “Binnington has made more lucky saves than good ones”. They are clearly the worst. They were whining about every call. It was disgusting.

They are 100% the absolute worst in the league. I don't like our broadcast team and typically listen to the other team's broadcast, but I can't stomach it with the Avalanche.

You're talking about a professional goaltender. You shouldn't be talking about "lucky saves." He has to put himself in position to make a save. There's skill involved in that. This isn't f***ing beer league.

They're homers not only because they bend the truth but also because they fabricate it all together. Listen to them in this clip.

"Zach Bolduc just coming off a suspension as well"

I would love for the Blues to catch/pass Colorado, but yes I do find it funny they have yet to pass Minny and you're already thinking about the Avs. I will be right there on catching Colorado once they're close and don't need 9000 different things to break their way.

One team at a time please.

They're homers not only because they bend the truth toward their fanbase but also because they fabricate it. Listen to them in this clip.

That's a bald face lie. Bolduc was recently fined but never suspended.


Lol check out the Avs' assistant coach. Hack the Zyn, hit the Juul. There's a reason these guys are pros.

I’m in the same boat in regard to listening to other broadcasts. I don’t think they are the worst as far as how they sound. But they are the worst whiners and have been for a long time. I couldn’t believe that Marc Moser complained multiple times about the Blues “just standing in front of their net” in the waning minutes as if blocking shots isn’t fair or something.

Love it! Bolduc has some snap. f*** the Avs.

Besides his grit, he's demonstrated time and again that he can find open ice for a clean shot.
 
Now they aren't all that similar, but I love that Bolduc has that same skilled shithead mentality that Perron had.
Yeah. I think Bolduc has an even bigger edge than Perron did, especially at age 21-22. Perron kinda gradually played more physical as he got older, but he didn’t play nearly as physical as Bolduc has when he was this young. Bolduc is trucking guys out there, I love it too.

I suppose it's all subjective, but I don't find Moser worse than any other broadcasting team.

Perhaps my judgement may be a bit clouded because he's been a fixture of Denver sports radio for 25+ years (long before he got the Avs play-by-play gig), and one of the most entertaining. If you think he's a whiny homer, oh boy, you should hear some of the others that pollute the air here.
