[Jack Hanson]

Dude in the polyester suit on abc is asshole

 

[Mike in Houston]

I hope we don't blow this.

 

[Machinehead]

Similar to the Lindgren high stick yesterday, how are these penalties missed with such regularity? That was obvious

Because penalties aren't reviewable but seeing if somebody's toenail was offside 3 minutes later is.

What is the spicey pork reference?

He once said it is his pregame meal

Buccingross haha

Dude in the polyester suit on abc is asshole

I sometimes watch the games with the sound off.

He once said it is his pregame meal

Ahhh ok, I missed that.

 

[Kodiak]

Sorry but what is that spicey pork you ar referring to?

It goes back to when Domingue was on the Pens in the 2022 playoffs.

On this date in Penguins history: Spicy pork and broccoli amid a marathon overtime playoff game

Louis Domingue was called into duty and became a cult hero of sorts overnight.

He once said it is his pregame meal

and the NHL media pretended it was the funniest thing a hockey player had ever said for like two weeks.

Mods pls ban. Bucci is an institution

 

[Boris Zubov]

No it was his OT intermission meal in Game 1 of the Pens series.

 

[Jack Hanson]

Mods pls ban. Bucci is an institution

Hes an asshole. His suit cost $50 too.

It probably was. These guys are boring

 

[INWOODBLUE]

Hes an asshole

I will bet if you met him you would think he's one hell of a nice guy.

 

[Machinehead]

and the NHL media pretended it was the funniest thing a hockey player had ever said for like two weeks.

It was, that's the sad part.

 

[Kodiak]

He once said it is his pregame meal

It wasn't a pregame meal. He ate it between overtime periods because he didn't think he would have to go in, but then DeSmith got hurt and he had to play.

 

[Machinehead]

It wasn't a pregame meal. He ate it between overtime periods because he didn't think he would have to go in, but then DeSmith got hurt and he had to play.

The best part about it is that he absolutely did not get that at MSG or from the team staff.

The dude got Uber Eats to the locker room during a playoff game.

I love the way Berard plays. The only question is his offensive upside.

I have no doubt he can be a 35-40 point guy and thats with no pp time. Which he will never get here

 

[Machinehead]

I'll give him this, the pork thing was actually kind of funny.

ESPN pretending what Tkachuk said about Kreider was funny was way worse.

 

[Jack Hanson]

Hate the white sneakers btw

 

[Fitzy]

If “colorful personalities” means people making asses of themselves for social media appeal then I’m glad we’re without those in NHL culture.

 

[INWOODBLUE]

I'll give him this, the pork thing was actually kind of funny.

ESPN pretending what Tkachuk said about Kreider was funny was way worse.

What did ESPN say about what Tkachuk said about Kreider?

Stupid food chit chat going on now on ABC.

 

[will1066]

Ferraro less than enthused with this segment

 

[Good Intentions]

Buccigross is a Rangers fan.

And an egomaniac prick.

 

[Greschner4]

Bucci's Chicken Parm thing with Ferraro has never been funny and it's kind of incredible that he's still doing it after like 20 years. This is painful.

 

[Machinehead]

What did ESPN say about what Tkachuk said about Kreider?

Kreider threw Tkachuk's mouthpiece into the stands which, if another Ranger did that, all the mouthbreathers on here would have gotten a tramp stamp of their face for showing such truculence, but it was Kreider so they didn't care.

And then Tkachuk (who scored ONE goal in that series) said "that was the best play he made all game," and the world collectively pretended that was a good burn.
