Man Messier is boring

As a fan, if you're waiting for your team to win it all to die in peace, rethink your priorities.

I can look at analytics and see his d zone impact. I can also ask for more than 6 months of above average d zone play when I have 5 years on the other side

Analytics will have Bouchard ahead overall.

Ridiculous. Bouchard is pretty bad defensively.

Wrong.

 

[kwichang]

You think the Panthers can’t at least match what the Kings managed to do against the Oilers? Thats bold

Either one of these teams would feast on Skinner

Not too late… he may say something interesting eventualy

If the Oilers defense is as good as it's been, they won't be an easy out if they make the finals.

Wrong.

Those are pretty easy to post.

Still waiting

Agree

 

[Mr Positive]

Man Messier is boring

Most ex player analysts are. Except Bieksa. But yeah I find Messier spouts a lot of cliches. But, amazing legend no doubt

 

[Matty Sundin]

Sportsnet panel either hoping for a rangers comeback or just trying to keep peolle
Interested in the game.

I think either team has a chance to beat the Oilers but I don’t think they’ll be an easy out at all unless their defensive game completely falls apart

 

[Andre Palot]

Yeah, I was wondering why they got rid of Chelios, also a bad TV guy, yet kept Mess. He must be working pro bono.

I really liked Tampa coach Jon ? Commentary yesterdays game

“Dogged determination” can count on about 10 of those a night.

We can all tell that this Florida team has all the ingredients to win the cup this year. There's no holes on this team. Especially considering they were in the cup final last year. And this is a better and fully healthy roster compared to last playoffs.

I said the same thing about the Dallas Stars who would cake walk into the Finals and smoke the East team. The East is pretty weak this year IMO but the Panthers are pretty good and filled with vets.

No doubt. The past few games they've looked tremendous on D. Skinner been solid as well. Dallas is no pushover and the EDM D has been getting the job done. No matter which two teams are in the finals it's going to be tight.

Messier should predicate each statement with, "yeah I remember elbowing so and so in the head".........

 

[nerevarine]

Would love some ot, cmon ny do something

I actually heard Mess on a podcast hit lately. He’s better on those than in these intermissions in terms of analysis.

Bieksa is pretty bad, although not a bore. More in the Potvin type.

 

[Ratsreign]

Affected a 1 on 1 with a goalie, that should be called every time

Ref couldn’t see it from where he was

Bieksa is the most entertaining. Lundqvist is the guy I always leave feeling like I was given the most insight
