FWIW MASSIVE f***ing difference in the announcing tonight, and this is the national feed I'm watching. Aside from being complimentary of Swayman it's been noticeably more neutral if not pro-Canes
This is what I was saying about the game John did. National calls are usually pro the team thats winning. Boston unfortunately was out playing us.

Yeah, Staal HAS been arguably our best player this series. When we've dictated the matchup, he's shut down Bergeron and dominated faceoffs.
He's been our best forward. And I don't even need to preface that with "2 way" or "all-around". He's been our best forward. Trocheck and Aho need to AT LEAST get on his level before they can be better than him so far.

Anyone else have the forums update while you are going back and reading? I dont check the board during the period and as I'm catching up its constantly refreshing, makes it really hard to figure out when things are posted. Sometime I'm like "I read that last page!"

I knows the thread is live but I dont remember it doing that before the update, ut hell maybe I was drunk

I mean I kinda get what he's saying. Maybe close to most valuable in a series you need to shut down one line, win face-offs, and kill pps to win.

Just not as valuable on the road.

Its just not his play though. While Svech, Aho, Slavin and maybe even Turbo are more skilled and more of the other teams would want them in a trade i think this team is gonna take a turn for the worse when he leaves.

Also just by personality I dont think anyone but Svech could replace him in the locker room leadership wise. While Aho's fire is awesome i think he's a little more "You need to do this" type and Staal is more level headed.

When your political ad starts with "North Carolina has more highways than just about anywhere" I'm already tuning you out, because that's factually not even close to correct
A DC area classic:

Yes, I do and it's very annoying. I have to keep refreshing the page
