[Jericho111091]

This audio is honestly hilarious

 

[tbrown33]

“finishing a check”

is this shit satire?

 

[ru4reals]

WTF that was dirty as hell. How the hell is that not a penalty. Good for Thomas beating that POS!!!

 

[Jericho111091]

"He never let Guhle square up" I doubt Thomas really cared if the dude who just ran him from behind was prepared to get his ass kicked

 

[JTeller97]

LOL these announcers are jerkoffs.

 

[ru4reals]

Damn this team has been killed by shitty dirty play and not freakin penalty. F**k these refs.

 

[VILARGOD]

LOL these announcers are jerkoffs.

Absolute neanderthals

 

[ru4reals]

F**k these refs. That was dirty as Sh*T!!!

 

[King'sPawn]

I think San Diego’s color commentator crawled out of Brian Hayward’s ass.

It was earlier in the second. Not sure if you heard. But when it was tied 2-2, Dostal catchinga shot from the point was a "win" for the Gulls.

I understand homerism to a degree, but when it misleads or dumbs down the audience, I draw the line

 

[VILARGOD]

Moverare has been solid as f***

 

[ru4reals]

Moverare has been solid as f***

3 assists he's been really good and by far the best Dman on the Reign.

 

[ru4reals]

Turcotte cannot buy a freakin goal. Glorious chances in this game.

Sounds like Thomas knocked Guhle out of the game with that takedown. Maybe he’ll think twice about cross checking someone from behind next time. Good for Thomas standing up for himself.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Is that 4 for Moverare??

If only the zebras called it right we wouldn't have had to pay for it with a goal

Already have more gonads then all of the Kings players.

Especially this year, I'm good with it. Want to see that from everyone.

 

[Eagle Fang]

Ontario is allowing 4.22 GA, by far the worst in the AHL, and have the worst PP in the league as well. At this point, I dunno if it's a goalie thing, a defense thing, a systems thing or a coaching thing but something stinks.

He must be being groomed to be Hayward’s heir apparent.

 

[TwzKing]

Just curious, you don't believe getting a taste of the NHL in garbage time is going to cause harm, right?

My whole point is, do whatever is best for him. Dont bring him up just take make the fans happy.

 

[All Mighty]

I'm sure most of you won't care, but I thought I'd share BJ MacPherson's (the color guy for the Gulls) story. He was a Gull in 2000.

Miracle on ice

For the record, I am not a fan of his commentary, but learning that story made me at least understand why he has the position. And yes, the Gulls' casters were especially homer-y tonight (no clue how they thought that Guhle hit was clean), though I've come to expect that from every AHL broadcast at this point.

It's pretty much a little of everything. Rotating defense almost every game, Super young team, new coach, piss poor goaltending and defense most nights, injuries. No excuses but as we've all said many times it's all part of the process. What I do like is that the young players are showing promise and that's all we can ask for. Now if they are piss poor and looks totally lost, then I'd be a little concern but many of these young players are playing for the first time in a Mens league and adjusting to the higher level of play. Plus a few of the kids aren't even suppose to be playing in the AHL this year. However, those two who aren't suppose to be in the A are leading the team in scoring so I guess there's a positive there. Just imagine if they didn't have Byfield and Kaliyev this team would probably be even worst.

 

[Mats26]

I have been pretty impressed with Kaliyev. It is his work ethic and dedication to work on his overall game that I noticed the most. He is not just a shooter. I think he took a another step forward this year. Actually saw that improvement at the WJC, glad he continued it in the Pros and hope he keeps it up.

 

[BigKing]

From what I've seen this season, the criticism of Kaliyev dogging it does not jive with his play. I've been impressed with his strength along the boards entering the zone on dump-ins as he is routinely getting through contact between center ice and the blue line to be able to get in on the forecheck quicker. We can't forget that he isn't a small dude so, even though he is already 32 years old, he should still get stronger.

Honestly, what's been shocking is the numerous golden opportunities he has missed with that one-timer of his. So many times this year where he's looking up to the sky after the whistle because he cna't believe he sailed it high or shot it right into the goaltender. I'm not worried about it though. Guy is still my favorite prospect in the pipeline and I really hope he isn't one of the prospects that ultimately gets moved out of here.
