Podcast (Audio) Edmonton Sports Radio/Podcast Thread - Part 7

(sorry Stauff - you have way too many ads on every 20-minute podcast!)

and as a pod that counts. When it was live. at a reasonable time of day, it was less of an issue.
GYB is the best at this point for Oilers content and might even be there as a hockey pod, even if it’s Oiler centric (Sorry Ray and Dregs and Elliotte ).

Just got through the noodles portion of the last podcast.

“Brownie and I didn’t like that one goal, but it was Ovechkin, so you can’t really blame him” is possibly the dumbest, most ridiculous piece of hockey analysis I’ve ever heard.

It’s like these fools are deliberate in their ignorance of goaltending.

I disgaree with you on this.

The (soon to be) greatest goal scorer that game has ever seen is very adept at disguising his shot.
Messier has spoken about that very thing.
Noodles and Brown being NHL players on both sides of that equation (shooting and saving a shot) might have a legitimate opinion on things like that.
Ovi doesnt just blast shots from his perferred spot on the ice. He is also a master of deception from anywhere on the ice. So I think that they were just giving respect to Ovi.

I am not at all adverse to criticising Skinner or Pickard but there is a point at which too much gets put at their feet when there are other legitimate factors to consider.

It’s stupid though. Ovechkin has like 7+ shots per game normally. Should all go in? It’s intellectually dishonest and frankly dumb to suggest that a stoppable shot isn’t stoppable for the sole reason Ovechkin shot it.

I dont think you actually read my post.
No worries.

No I read it. It’s basically the same argument that they made. Not a bad goal on a saveable shot because Ovechkin shot it and theoretically it’s more difficult for the sole reason Ovechkin shot it. Even though it was savable.

McLennan agreed he should have had it BTW. It was Rishaug and Brown barfing out nonsense.

Well...there are a lot of ways to disguise a shot and Ovi is a master.
I think thats a large part of where they are coming from. They also arent watching it from a emotionally charged perspective like Oilers fans are.
Being neutral does offer a clearer perspective.

Thanks for the correction on the names too.

I am not saying I completely agree with them but there is some validity to it and I like to hear perspectives from people that arent fans. There tends to be less emotional noise influencing those perspectives.
Thats all I am saying.

I listened to the podcast. Contextually, what they said and how they said it, I thought it fit in that conversation. It certainly didn’t seem “dumb” or outlandish, uninformed etc..

I’ve tried to like our sports content in the city but it’s all so bad for the most part.
