So where is a good place for a speed test? Pretty sure my internet is bad here in the woods.

I went to http://www.speedtest.net/ myself.

That was a terrible turnover by Monahan. His defensive ability was really oversold in the weeks coming up to the draft.

He is 19 years old in the NHL. He is not going to be a wizard right away. In the oHL he was a wizard.

a WHALE of a game

I know hey! What a bust.

Smh...

 

[MonahanTheMan]

He is 19 years old in the NHL. He is not going to be a wizard right away. In the hole he was a wizard.

I'm not saying I'm expecting him to immediately be Toews or Jordan Staal. I'm just expecting him to do slightly better in those sorts of situations. Even Baertschi was better defensively when he was with the big club this season. For someone who was touted as an incredible two-way player, I haven't seen really any inkling of two-way potential out of Monahan.

EDIT: Okay, that last sentence was an exaggeration. But what I'm trying to say is that his two-way game is not where it should be for a rookie who was identified as one of the best defensive centres in the draft.

This hybrid icing is starting to piss me off

 

[Munber1]

Clear the track, here comes Lack!

 

[MuffinMerc]

Colborne can't even take a juicy Brodie pass.

 

[Anglesmith]

Good thing the early whistle prevented a collision on that play. Let me get this straight, the new rules don't prevent collisions, and also don't get the call right? I'm not a fan.

 

[BVicious]

Yeah, the directors cut is one of my favourites.



Basically, the big three in Telus, Bell and Rogers aren't happy that their ability to gouge consumers might be coming to an end. Woe is them.

The big 3 aren't happy because the American company (verizon I think) gets to use and piggy back off the infrastructrure that the big 3 built.

The refs certainly haven't been doing us any favours the past couple games. This is brutal.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

I hate that telus panda ad.

If the big 3 built it, do the big 3 not own it?

Don Cherry ripped into it after it was implemented. It's the dumbest rule of all time. The NHL is such a mess right now IMO.

 

[Summer Rose]

That commercial's music creeps me out. I don't like it.

 

[Summer Rose]

I hate that telus panda ad.

Woah, I dream in British?

In time my friend. In time.

 

[WhereIsIt]

I hate that telus panda ad.

I hate all pandas now.

 

[MuffinMerc]

I'M BLIND I'M DEAF I WANNA BE A REF

 

[Summer Rose]

If I were a Flames fan this game would make me want to drink excessively.

I kind of am anyway, though.

 

[Beats By CoRD]

Man Stajan is a warrior.

 

[Calculon]

It's amazing how many calls on Stajan are routinely missed.

Double standards for sure. You'd think in a rebuild year there wouldn't be such tight leashes for a kid.

I hate all pandas now.

Tell that too Harper.
