Enough about Pearson. Kid hasn't done crap in weeks.

Soon it'll be "He's leading the league in rookies named Tanner."

Lately he might be leading in wide shots. He's had a lot of those of late.

He is having a pretty good night so far IMO. Using his speed to get some decent chances, being used on the PK a bit.

Solid game tonight so far.
 
For the posts last game that asked me if I ever played or understood any hockey, but here's what I posted, and I could swear I just listened to Jim Fox just give a seminar on McNabb about this same thing:

These hits are impressive! But, after awhile, there won't be too many experienced players in the league, and more so our conference, and even more so our division, that are going to walk right into these hits like we keep seeing! The smart play on McNabb will become to entice him to start to come over, flip the puck deep sooner, and then either avoid him to the left and apply pressure to beat him to the puck, or protect yourself and take one for the team, but McNabb will either be in the box, or he will abort, and be left out of position!! DD can make these exact same hits if he wants to try, but players that have seen him a lot are looking for it!

Except where Fox was praising McNabb, you seem to leap in out of nowhere to detract from his successes. With enthusiasm(!!!).
 
I could have made a souffle in the time between Kopitar passing the puck and getting hit.
 
Well there are times that Fox gets pretty carried away just to hear his own voice. Sometimes he'd be better to just put a lid on it and allow some silent air time. He jumps in everytime Bob just stops to take a breath

I think as Bob is getting older and stumbling more, Fox Sports might have told Jim to talk more.
 
**** the Flames. Hope the Kings embarrass them. Somebody needs to crush Bolling or take out that Johnny kid. This is when Clifford needs to step up.
 
I used to feel bad for the Flames but honestly I hope they lose 15 in a row after the bull **** they pull in this game. Elbow Richards and run Kopitar? **** them.

Probably so. I'm sure Bob appreciates Jim being such a motor-mouth, but I think back to the days that Jiggs McDonald was the play by play announcer (long time ago) but, it wasn't necessary to keep that constant chatter going.

That's fair! I tend to think he leaps out of position defensively too much at times to make these hits! Like, try counting up the number of times he starts to move towards the boards, the pass comes back to the middle, and then there is more of a 2 on 1 but in the middle of the rink. I'm not trying to detract his successes, but these are pro hockey players, and they will catch on! The actual hits are absolutely great when they connect! But his attempts don't always keep him in good position defensively!! On the other hand, there's the thought of dishing it out, and wearing teams out, and there is something to be said about that as well! So, I'm not completely void of thinking that there's no value to these hits. There definitely is!!

Yeah, I'm not mad at his game, just annoyed with the pitiful attempts to go out of their way to pump his tires. He's having a fine rookie season, but he hasn't done much recently to warrant talking about him.

His borderline hit has sparked the Flames, he's doing his job.

Nothing to do with him. Bad penalty by Jeff and unlucky bounce for the goal. Still being outshot to hell.

Also not a borderline hit. Interference and intent to injure.
 
They've lost a bunch of games In a row and the frustration is just boiling over. Hope the Kings remain engaged for the 3rd or we could be looking at a meltdown. Flames are good there and will be pressing hard.

Why did Jeff cross check him then? I wasn't that mad at the hit, if that was cliffy on monahan we'd be applauding it.
