If you have a gambling problem, call the CHIMO hotline.

Not sure why, but that commercial cracks me up.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

It shouldn't be this hard to score.

I know Andersen made it look like every chance has to go in, but it actually is very difficult to score

 

[CincoHolio]

Less is more with RM. He's way past his best before date at this stage.

Don Cherry approves of this message. Lol

Don would be loving Kingston’s own Smith having a good night so far

 

[Azazel]

Hear that guys? Game management destroys the integrity of the game, but its good because everything is equal right?

Talking out both sides of their faces.

TSN analysts have been around the game more. Are better connected within hockey as well. So they have a lot more to offer. I do like Bieksa on Sportsnet. But giving Sportsnet the national package was a huge mistake.

TSN also employs Button and Poulin, who have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about half the time. Doesn’t help that Dreger makes shit up often. The good sports broadcasters in Canada are far and few in between.

Our defense has been better than our offense for quite some time now.

As soon as they get their offensive mojo back things are going to get fun.

This offensive lull isn’t going to last forever, and having to score 3 or more goals due to an .857 SV% stretch from Andersen wasn’t going to either. The chances are there, the pucks will go in soon enough. The trade deadline will help them out too depending on who’s acquired.

We’re so culturally tapped out. Every movie or TV show is a re-boot or franchise.

"I'm not about calling things from the rulebook...."....Uh....

This ideology isn't helping the game grow. We are stuck in being at the mercy of the ref, akin to a King, they decide if they feel like honouring the rulebook or not.

The Super Bowl had some tough calls. Some courageous calls that cost K.C some points. Regardless of the opinion on if they were infractions or not, the bottom line is that the refs took the heat under the bright lights. They didn't manage the game.

I grew up on the idea that a penalty in the first minute isn't the same standard as OT. This simply has to end. The sport is only growing by default, a function of sports being bigger parts of our lives across the spectrum.

Other sports continue to dwarf the popularity of the NHL even while NHL is faster and can be more exciting (if talent wins the day).

Hrudey likes game management. Ok?

 

[HolyCrap]

lmao I'm no big Don Cherry fan but at least he kept Ron in check once in a while

Yup. That’s the way I feel too.

The amount of “hockey people” that like game management is insane to me.

 

[saffronleaf]

lol his takes on the tim peel situation would have been funny.

Nylander needs to drive once in a while.

He totally had the step and did his mandatory button hook. He’s the most predictable forward on our team.

His recurring malaise has set in again

You know what I like ?

Holding a team that averages 28.52 scoring chances/60 (5th in the NHL) to just 2 in a period in amazing. Thats nice tight playoff D there.

 

[MattySnipes]

"Bully" lol. Throwing a few crosschecks i guess makes you a bully. I rather like it actually, not too many stars play with an edge these days

I really like Drai as a player too. He definitely gets overhyped a bit and I've seen how he plays with and without McDavid. However credit to him, good players wanna play with good players. What he's done as a 3rd pick and German too, is very impressive.

I also like his personality more than McDavid.

 

[Cor]

That was probably one of the worst intermissions I’ve ever seen.

“putrid” and “pathetic” as one famous poster here would say.

 

[Mr Hockey]

that 1st intermission would be sooooooooo bad without Bieska

 

[hockeyes]

I know Andersen made it look like every chance has to go in, but it actually is very difficult to score

Haha, fair enough

 

[garce]

Yeah I didn’t pay any attention for the last 5 years but tonite would have been good
