Perhaps McD was able to bring his brand of full tilt magic DUE to playing a manageable amount of minutes. I'd rather have even a star player know that his minutes will be limited, and that rest will be there, than have the same player think he's going to have to slog through 25mins and pace himself. Its interesting that even with McD we get more value with less minutes even though he seems to have an unstoppable engine.
Some of it is context. Some posters have balance, some are always negative, some are always positive. Human nature. When Bouch was a defensive shitshow, I would continuously point it out. When McLeod was bad...well, he was really bad. Right now, they are both playing great. As long as people are fair with their takes, I don't really care if it is negative or positive.
Guy is growing in leaps and bounds. its great to see. I think Booch loses that battle earlier in career and instead he made a vet player look stupid and cost his team dearly. That was the game at the moment. Torts called it out too. He made no disguise of doing that, and his frustration with that play.
Was this the great Garnet Hathaway that dEbrusk spent the whole broadcast turd polishing? he missed most of the game and I thought Debrusk would cry about it.
Deslauriers was the other great player that Debrusk spent so much time talking about. lol. As if the Flyers were missing two great players or something. Not the worst meathead lunchbuckets on the team.
I don't mind Louie's analysis, except when he goes back and beats the drum for the pugilist union. Guys who were knuckle chuckers, or are old school, (Struddy, Louie, Stauffer) wax poetic about those types of guys often.
Exactly. So much talk about their own pugilist union that they kind of forget theres a game on. If I'm being honest Debrusk ate more than anybody should as well. Seems like a nice guy, every indication he is, but no longer the sharpest pencil. He does have his moments and things I feel he brings at times. Not consistent though. Overall we have a poor broadcast crew. Principe does his part as host but a little over the top.
Conversely, I really like him when he is on Stauffer's show. I would generally offer Louie a passing grade. He isn't Ferraro but he isn't Remenda either.
What a terribly biased commentator with an ugly voice.Tortarella at the end of the clip
I think they all enjoyed the Country Club lifestyle a bit too much.
It was one heaping mess of a play by Konecny who should know better. He really let his team down there and got schooled by a very young D. To do that play on a pk at a critical juncture of a roadgame tied 2-2. he should get yanked from pk or made to apologize.
Yep. Like can be overrated. Its not necessary to always like the people at work. Its necessary to respect them and the workplace. Much different things.
You're more extroverted. heh
It was a rhetorical question. Just mocking Debrusks take throughout the broadcast that the Flyers were really missing teh contributions of two knuckle draggers. As if it would've made a difference.
Agreed. that is how rational discussions happen. it's the shouting down of people who have different viewpoints of the players, or how the team is doing if it has even a remotely positive spin on it that is so frustrating.
