Be careful Oz, @Habs is very sensitive regarding age-related posts. He identifies as a young guy online but no one is convincing me that someone as crusty as him isn't at least a 70 year old man dealing with ED and not enough fiber in his diet.

 

[Shred]

That locker room scene where Slaf is asking Matheson if he saw him on the PP

Need gif, seems like it will come in handy this season

You should have seen me light up the Over 50 Beer league last night, but I can barely walk today

Watching ep5 right now they talk about the Slaf draft it's good

Kent & Cole talk about his stick like us lol

They also talk about the yearly Xmas road trip, this year it's even worse...almost a full month with 1 week-end pit stop on NYE.

The games aren't even in the same region. Wsh->Ana->Pit wth

Actually, they’re home games.

Matheson's response that he was waiting for Slaf to open up irked me lol.

Like do you think Slaf would be asking if he wasn't freaking open already?

The player being open and the passing lane to the player being open aren't the same thing though. Pretty sure Matheson was talking about waiting for the opposing player to do something which would then open up the lane for the pass.

That’s a good deal. Who is your internet provided? That’s a smoking good price

Shit I haven’t had cable in almost 10 yrs.

I wouldn't say it's good and can't say there was any new or important information that gets prevented but there are still some nice moments here and there. For example in one of the recent episodes there was a scene where Slaf was working with Nicholas on his shot with Hughes and Caufield talking and commenting. Nothing groundbreaking but you do kind of see the chemistry and friendship of Slaf and Cole, and the team culture that Hughes has been building.

The general format seems to be start by covering some aspect of the rebuild from years ago such as MSL's hiring, Hughes' hiring, Slafkovsky draft, etc... but I usually find it fairly superfical and short. Then they move onto some random fan's connection with the team that will then tie into them going to an upcoming game. Sprinkle in some Molson, ticket sales, Chantal, and other "behind the scenes" type of stuff about general day to day operations of professional sports. With the bulk being just recaps of the season with additional commentary from different sources that tie into what was happening at that time.

Obviously we can't tell which exact PP they are referring to, but I mean come on.

Considering the amount of times Math had a wide open lane to Slaf and looked him off last year, AND Slaf is asking him why he didn't pass it between periods, I'm inclined to believe it was one of those moments.

Which one of you is Sunil P.? That is a hell of a collection. My wife likes hockey but she would never let me have something like that
