NHL: Around the League 49

[ChiHawks10]

I love Hockey fights. The worst development in the last 20 years is the visor. Hockey is a brutal, visceral, manly sport. Let's not let the p***yfication of society. I know people get hurt, concussions, Blah, Blah Blah, but there's not much more exciting than when one of your team's players stands up for a teammate. Man up!

Lol.

Yes, because guys want to keep their eyes. They should forego their eyesight for the viewing pleasure of you.

As if a visor has ever prevented guys from fighting in the NHL...

Tampa can't clear and it's tied

You gotta stop that.

What terrible defense and how do you let that in…..

 

[BobbyJet]

I feel sorry for you folks who have to live through the ESPN coverage. Sportsnet commentators/analysts are very good. Chris Cuthbert does the play-by-play.

Yet another chintzy penalty to TB.

 

[RayP]

Tampa really missing Cernak. Huge loss.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

More OT

 

[IU Hawks fan]

No idea why the NHL went with a network that hasn't covered hockey in like 2 decades. Then said network just decided to throw a staff together of "hockey names", basically with like no broadcast experience. It's pretty much unwatchable when I've tuned in.

Money for 1.

They're also getting their best ratings pretty much ever, the NHL has never been more relevant. Having games on ESPN & TNT has been amazing, because every bar has those channels on anyway all playoffs from airing NBA.

I’ve complained about it before but man this ESPN broadcast of the SCF is so bad top to bottom it’s just so frustrating.


I miss Doc and Eddie.

So many big saves, big hits, posts, near-goals during the entire playoffs that have zero emotion behind the call or aren't called at all. Doc and Eddie are certainly missed.

I'm aware of the money angle. That wasn't really a question that needed an answer. It was meant to be a criticism of the coverage.

Great game.

It wasn't even a question.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Great game.

Avs momentum carry them or does Tampa do the Tampa thing where they score an ugly one outta nowhere?

Hoping for a Tampa in an ugly one, but their injuries are piling up.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Vasi is so freaking good.

 

[RayP]

The level of confidence Byram is playing with is depressing as a Hawks fan.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

It wasn't even a question.

He said "no idea". I gave an idea

 

[RayP]

Vasi is so freaking good.

He makes it look so easy and routine too.

 

[RayP]

Avs win. Wow. What a game.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Kadri the hero on an awful change the camera couldn't keep up with.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Getting some 2010 deja vu.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Avs win and I’m sure St. Louis is taking the game winner well.

 

[hawksrule]

TB had no energy in OT. Looked completely winded.

 

[TLEH]

Colorado just has too many good players lol.

They have good size, great pace. They aren't blowing a 3-1 lead.
