He’s fine. Unremarkable. Not Steiggy.

 

I was just coming here to post a thing about Carolina. I like them. I’m a fan, and I’m rooting for them to make the playoffs.

 

But every game of theirs I watch, the announcers talk about how they’re the least penalized team in the nhl, like 4 or 5 straight years. And then it never fails, like infinity uncalled obvious fouls.

obv nhl is rigged for a Carolina Cup winner, big ratings.

 

 

I dont know what to tell you, they are least penalized, thats a fact.

and I dont really see them being a team that gets breaks from the refs. Maybe they do during Pens games? Ive watched most of this game, havent noticed more than 1 or 2, which every team gets nightly.

I've noticed refs have really stopped calling the slashes, like they were in Oct.

 

And if I may....why doesnt someone just shoot Hornqvist? He always gets a free hack or two at a goalies glove hand after the pucks in there for a few secs. Its such a crappy way to play the game.

 

fwiw, I kind of liked Steiggy. But I didnt listen to him too often.

I like the Canes guys, I find them 9/10 on the hockey smarts, but Id give them a 5/10 on being a little too homerish for my tastes.

To me, the Canes just seem to play similar to other teams. Make standard infractions but every time I watch they get the “let them play” refs or just don’t get called. It’s weird. Not super remarkable, but odd to me.

 

Anyways, I like the Canes crew. Last year I tended to watch lots of opponent announcers because I was sick or Steigerwald. He turned into a whiny homer. If the Canes guys are homers, I never noticed, so it wasn’t the whiny kind.

What a shitty way to go out.

 

Back in October, I was *this* close to buying tickets to the Flames/Pens game in February to see what I would have assumed was his final game in Pittsburgh. Glad I didn’t spend all that money.

Can’t Jagr play in the Olympics now?

 

And who is gonna beat the Russians ( or whatever they are called).

 

Hopefully Canada can compete with Datsyuk, Kovalchuk and the rest of the KHL guys.

mike Fisher comeback? Love the guy, but seems like a seriously bad idea

 

why? I dont know, seems like a good move for Nashville.

 

he only left the game 7 months ago, as long as he didn't completely let himself go, it might be the perfect way to help the team.

use the next month or two to catch up to speed and let his smarts and experience give them the 3rd/4th line solid C you need in April+May.

If anything, maybe the time off let his body recover a little.

Maybe this was the plan for Fisher and Nashville all along

 

Knowing that he didn't want to put himself thru the grind for a whole year.

 

Just had to keep himself in playing shape. Carrie could take care of that problem

    In support of the NHL's commitment to diversity and inclusion in hockey,
    has elected to be the
    ambassador for Hockey Is For Everyone. Full list of ambassadors:

Replying to @bigstewo7 @mattmurray_30

 

Go ahead. If you don't support inclusion in hockey, there is not much reason to follow us anyway.

Someone quoted that with “you went to the White House”

 

I don’t really get these inclusion representatives. What’s the point? It would be equally as weird if they just cherry picked the black guy from each team.

I did a crappy job of cut+paste, but I loved the message so much I left it.

 

There is something really off with people who care so much about who loves who.

 

The Facebook posts on the NHLs post about this was a cesspool. Lots of people posting Old Testament quotes.
