Lying through his teeth for his boy
I really want Matthews to get out of Toronto so I can like him more.
Naw. I for one love the fact that the hockey capital of the world has a part-Hispanic guy who hails from Arizona as their best player, and one of the best players (some could argue very best) in the league.
Maybe it's because I'm not Canadian but I don't get the Leafs hate. I suppose its analogous to the hype that always surrounds the Dallas Cowboys here in the States. I have a friend in the GTA whose entire family are Leafs fans, but he's a Wings fan. Detailed a conversation with some Leafs die-hards who acted like 1994 was the year they won the Cup or something...so I guess I could kinda see that, but I don't share the sentiment. There are insufferable fans in every fanbase, including this one.

As a Canadian I don't really hate the Leafs, I just enjoy when they lose because of the overreaction of the media/fanbase. Same with the Habs (when they are good) and the Oilers.
I just like the drama I guess.
Only Canadian team that I actually like are the Sens (but not enough to follow them on a daily basis). I'm indifferent to the Jets/Canucks/Flames.

From 'young and stupid' to a leader of the Cup champs: Nathan MacKinnon opens up about his journey
The Colorado assistant captain's growth as a player and leader helped bring the Avs a title last season, but he's not about to rest now.
Pretty good article/interview with MacKinnon by our old friend Ryan Clark

"I don't mind that. I like when guys get angry," MacKinnon said. "We were at an optional skate and [Kurtis MacDermid] punched a water bottle the other day. I like it. I don't think it's a bad thing if I do that. I threw my stick the other day. It doesn't matter.From 'young and stupid' to a leader of the Cup champs: Nathan MacKinnon opens up about his journey

Can we post this on the main board when everyone says he's a psychopath who bullies his teammates?
I gave in and got Evoca. Its pretty good so far, although the antenna is a bit iffy at times with the free TV channels. What I don't get and annoys me is that you can't DVR anything but the games, I'm still using Tablo and have a second antenna in another room which just seems stupid, I'm paying $30/month to watch the Avs, Nuggets and DU on my biggest TV which is ok for me.
The other issue is the lack of an app or the ability to use it on another TV in the house. If you want that the Fubo or Direct option probably will be best. For me I'm not too tied up over it because when I want to watch a game and I'm not around home it usually means I'm on the road and can use ESPN+ for games or just watch it on DVR later.

Dude has credentials and hasn't offered to beat up a fan yet. He's clearly the best Avs beat reporter for the DP in decades.
False… when he challenges people to multiple MMA fights he will be.

Out of town kid that was previously covering college football in Alabama? Check.
He'll get to know the sport and the city.
Seriously I'm genuinely happy for the kid and I hope he does well.
Covering college football in the south is more demanding than they Avs… by farOut of town kid that was previously covering college football in Alabama? Check.

It's just kind of a joke at this point that both the DP and the Athletic are getting kids from other states that are covering other sports to work on the Avs. Is there literally 0 competent journalist in the state of Colorado who loves hockey and would like to cover the NHL?
It could be that they want an unbiased opinion for their coverage. That could be pretty hard to find from a local kid.
The guy has journalistic experience, why does that not count for anything?
You think the Post should go and get some goof from Fansided or something?

There's no such thing locally?
Doesn't have to be a kid.
lol @ unbiased
I dunno, you tell me. Who's covering the team who isn't already employed by MHS, DNVR, or the Athletic other than some random bloggers?

NWOBHM forever \m/
I feel that it's too much to ask to have someone that can write and knows the game.
Imagine a guy covering the CHL that would start covering the Raptors or Blue Jays.

Someone in the state if Colorado that has some background covering pro hockey.
Would they hire some kid from Vermont who’s covering high school hockey there to be the Broncos’ beat writer?
