  1. Jordan Eberle has become a lot more 'gritty' since his Oilers days. He's by no means tough/aggressive... but he isn't shying away from receiving contact and wins more board battles than he loses.
  2. It sounds like what he did wasn't too bad... but also sounds like his colleagues hate him and were looking for an excuse to drag him through the mud. Maybe he did worse things behind closed doors, but going after someone when you don't have much of a case is never a good idea.
  3. I've got some news for you about the age of a lot of profs ;).
  4. Bure will always be my favorite of all time... but McDavid might be faster from Dzone to Ozone. The amount of separation between the dman that he gets is unlike any other player.
  5. I love Petey's competitiveness. He tries to prove that his weight doesn't measure his tenacity and toughness. But sometimes I feel it takes him out of the positions that give him the best chance to succeed. He takes a shot to the back of the end and then to prove people wrong he goes straight to the front of the net for another battle. It's playoff hockey. Goals are scored there. But I'd prefer Miller/Toffoli in that position with Petey looking to spend more time on the puck in the slot/half-wall.
  6. But then you have Sutter/Beagle as your 3&4 C. Gaudette fills a need. At this rate, I'd take Sutter out and put JV in... but plenty of time left for guys to step up.
  7. I'm not offended. It doesn't impact me at all. I'm just calling you soft. You're the one that got so offended you wanted some to get hurt. Keep lying to yourself.
  8. Lol. Don't lie. You said you wanted to see him get injured for the rest of the playoffs and so I called you soft. Don't be a liar on top of it.
  9. That was incredible. Like I know it isn't a conspiracy. But it is just amazing how incompetent these guys are. The game has gotten soooo much faster. Time to move to younger refs that are actually in shape and can keep up with the play.
  10. Jesus christ. Add a buzzer to let these novices know when to change.
  11. There really can't be a more ineffective player at Green's disposal.
  12. More incompetent reffing but at least the ice is starting to tilt.
  13. Imagine being such a little bitch that you'd want someone to get injured just because you didn't like 'politics' being talked about.
  14. Jesus. Imagine being a grown ass adult and being so soft that someone speaking about racism makes you want them to get injured. Like, how do you get through life having such a weak mentality if things that really don't even affect you make you feel so strongly? Get ahold of your emotions sweetheart.
  15. That's the type of play that explains why Motte deserves to be in the lineup.
  16. Sutter always the master of being in position and doing nothing.
  17. Jim Hughson is that most vanilla of all the PbP guys. I honestly think he lost passion for the job or something and he just goes through the motions. He became the voice of the #1 time slot on HNIC and went downhill from there. When was the last time we heard Hughson make a call with the same emphasis as "grrrrrrreat savvvvvvvve Luongo!". So glad that we get to listen to Cuthbert.
  18. Juice doing a great job on the panel. Brian Burke sounds like he is interviewing for Don Cherry's job. If you constantly cross the line, that makes you a dirty player. Separate the act from the player. Last night, Tkachuk didn't do anything dirty. The hit on Scheifele wasn't dirty. It absolutely sucks, especially because Scheifele is one of the great guys in the NHL. However, just because Tkachuk didn't do anything dirty on that play, doesn't make him a not-dirty player. He is a scumbag. That doesn't mean he isn't a good hockey player. That doesn't mean I wouldn't want him on my team.
