GDT: saturday game vs other weather team that we need to win b/c winning is good (no pol)

I had to do a #2, what did I miss during the intermission lol?

An interview with Bill Peters' son. Who...is he who's playing Young Bill in the Kinetico commercials?

 

[Wild Caniac]

i'd go with a 5. he's just kind of neutral. i don't like some of his lingo and his goal calls haven't been great but he could be worse. i like the guy that filled in last time a lot more.

 

[CandyCanes]

meh, like a three

hes clearly new to the team

"tripp, this pk is #1 in the league"

"yep, it is"

"Slavin and Pesce have been really good the last few months"

Tripp "yep"

x5

 

[AD Skinner]

Murphy can't receive a pass to save his life. I wish he could put it together and succeed in the NHL but it's just not looking that's ever really going to happen

jp dellacamera is a vet of other sports, this guy is a newbie

Jorge Alves is a heck of a goaltender. 0 goals allowed in his first NHL game.

 

[Breakdowns]

Game over

I would say this game is on refs- first period and those penalties just ruined the game

 

[AD Skinner]

Oh well

 

[garnetpalmetto]

Skinner thought to retrieve the game puck and gave it to Alves. Skinner for Captain for sure.

 

[Joe McGrath]

In case you were wondering if Bill Peters is a coach who "gets it"

Canes played a phenomenal defensive game, but the offense wasn't there. Cant call this game 100% on the refs.

We gotta get Rask & Skinner going again.

Of course not 100% but you have to agree that they ruined so much for Canes @ first period

That's what I thought. I tweeted at Forslund to confirm but he didn't respond.

Everyone in North Carolina is a loser today.

Hornets, Canes, Wake Forest, Duke, NC State, Carolina, ECU, App State, Western Carolina. All losers today.

 

[GoldiFox]

So...with my constant worry being losing Forslund to NBC full-time, the necessary question must be asked - on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being "Godawful" and 10 being "Oh my God, my ears are bleeding, please let me listen to the soothing tones of Jack Edwards" how awful is tonight's PBP guy?

Trip seemed to loathe him. Lots of cringe-worthy side commentary. Pretty awful overall

 

[geehaad]

We are spoiled by John Forslund, there is no doubt, and when he is done here, we will not like his replacement.

 

[Lempo]

The Finnish press was quick to notice that Aho's goal is the same one he did in SML in 2015 to win the Final Game 7 for Kärpät.



At the time of 2.55.

That is classy af

Chiming in from Alaska here. Worked late and just got done watching the game. Happy New Year everyone!

3 out of 4 against the Pens, Hawks, and Bolts. So not unexpected...think we were just exhausted. But I would love for someone to defend why Ryan Murphy is even in this teams plans going forward? Not saying anyone is, but he looks the same to me as he did 3 years ago...pucks rolling off his stick, getting beat along the boards, etc. He should be nowhere near an NHL roster.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Nedeljkovic got torn apart in the AHL. 3-12 with a .876SV%. He pretty much singlehandedly tanked Charlotte's season, which is why he's in Florida right now. The score would be 11-1 right now with him in net.

Assuming that was a serious post.

It clearly was not, as it was in response to a Post that said we should have started Alves. It was made with tongue in cheek, but fully expecting a response.

 

[Roboturner913]

I'm inclined to agree on the 3 games in 4 days with travel sandwiched between each one. That's a difficult stretch. Probably in its own way, even harder than doing 3 in 4 on a west coast swing, that one day at home probably throws off your whole "in the trenches" mentality that a team can get into on a road trip for a mental edge.

Unfortunately it seems this team will never ever ever get any help from the schedulemakers, they're gonna have to get into a "World is tough, be tougher" kind of mindset to take the next jump.

For the more bad news, PK percentage falls down to 88.76% which still leads the league by a lot, but no longer on track for that league record.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Between that game and Mariah Carey's performance, a whole lot of fail going on for NYE.

Between that game and Mariah Carey's performance, a whole lot of fail going on for NYE.

I posted this in the lounge thread, but think it's worth repeating here:

Producers of the show were so concerned Carey might be late, that they hired an entire crew to ensure the legendary diva made it to the ball on time.

The panic was sparked when producers asked what time she would arrive. According to the New York Post, Carey's people replied, 'What time exactly does the ball drop?'

 

[The Faulker 27]

I posted this in the lounge thread, but think it's worth repeating here:

I haven't really read much about it other than hearing that her monitors apparently were not working at all which would explain her performance given that she would be deaf to her own voice. I guess they really couldn't cut to commercial given how close it was to 12, but the whole thing was just handled terribly. Couldn't happen to a nicer person.

 

[HisIceness]

Mariah Carey has never really seemed like the sharpest tool in the shed.
