serge 904 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Just came back from my first press gig. Had lots of fun. We covered the Barracuda game. Full press access. Media room. Food and drinks and access to the players after. Had my first media scrum. Asked a few questions. Sure it’s an AHL game but there were a lot of Scouts there. Few ex nhl players I recognized. The big trade broke while we were there and it’s interesting the discussions going on. Coolest moment meeting and talking to Mike Ricci who is now on staff of the Barracuda. We are working on Sharks press passes. Lot harder to do. We maybe doing a practice soon. Still need some practice before I can interview Burns and Jumbo Joe. Chris we are now buffoon buddies.

digitalmonkey 929 Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 I don't think Duchesne is that much of an upgrade over Turris if at all, but he may be a better fit with OTT. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I don't think Duchesne is that much of an upgrade over Turris if at all, but he may be a better fit with OTT. Im kind of thinking the same thing. I like Duchene a lot as a fantasy guy, but overall, Im not sure he's that much better than Turris. Be curious to see what they sign him for, I think that will help define the winners/losers of this deal. Turris at 6 for 6 doesnt seem crazy, and I think Nashville did VERY well in this deal, and I like Girard a lot, but getting Turris is a no brainer for them. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 Good job my Sakic to turn it into a 3-way. It's easier to get 2 teams to each overpay by a little than to get 1 team to overpay by a lot. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Turris at 6 for 6 doesnt seem crazy, and I think Nashville did VERY well in this deal, and I like Girard a lot, but getting Turris is a no brainer for them. I think Turris has had growing pains over the years but has evolved into a very good center. Whereas Duchene has much better name recognition, and better upside, but hasn't performed at his projections for a while. I don't know... usually when a player wants out of Ottawa (Spezza / Heatley) we get hosed so this is a little bittersweet. [ Rumour is that Turris's agent was really pushing for 8 years in Ottawa, a little surprised he went for 6 in Nashville but maybe with the lower taxes... ? ] Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I like to apologize to Devan and the whole Dubnyk family for the terrible game he is about to have. I have Minnesota goalies in the other pool. Sorry guys. (Reverse jinx) (360 jinx) Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I’m here in San Jose covering the Barracuda vs Reign game. Sean Burke is here scouting for Habs. Appropriate to ask him how did Montreal do last night? Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Mike Ricci is really a cool guy and has the coolest job. He basically hangs out and mentors the team. Had a few sandwiches in the press room before the game. Still looks like he can play. Looks like Sean Burke didnt show up. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Instead of taking the first TV timeout, the Pens broadcast stuck with the game to show the tribute to Chris Kunitz. Didn't show a single commercial. I wonder if this was a NHL.tv/Gamecentre only thing? (Since there are no commercials anyways) If so, thumbs up to NHL.tv staff for not just switching to the "Commercial in Progress" screen. Or did the Pens or ATT Sportsnet buyout their own block of commercials to show the tribute to all viewers? Either way, it was a really good move. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I had the pleasure to interview Paul Martin who was recently sent down to the AHL, which looks like he is being shopped for a trade partner..Great guy and hopefully he lands somewhere , maybe a contender. Also interviewed John McCarthy..Captain of the Barracuda, who is going to the Olympics..He is so excited and was cool to see that in his eyes.. We were also lucky to get passes to a recent Sharks practice with full access to the dressing room..Unfortunately I couldnt attend as we were in Lake Tahoe for a hockey tournament.. I have found my true calling.. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
