KES JUICE PODCAST TREND
Makaramel MacKhiato replied to Squamfan's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Agree 100%. While he was here, he was the majority of fan's favorite player. The reason we loved him is also the same reason why we hated him when he left. He wanted to win. -
Had an interesting discussion with some friends the other day, regarding tablets and other video technology being used during the game by the coaching staff. You only need to watch a few hockey games to realize that the games can often been dragged out due to Coach's challenges (which the league have done a good job addressing). But I think the solution lands on one thing: banning the use of tables and instant-replay technology by the coaches during the game. Coach's challenges were incorporated into the game because of obvious calls (much like the Duchene video below), NOT for calls that require zoomed-in video technology where a player may have been offside by fractions of an inch (which is too close for the human eye to see and does not change the fairness of a game). I find that the use of video-technology and having a guy hired to watch replays of every goal to observe if there is part which could be reversed ruins the intelligence of the sport. If a coach can witness a blatant missed-call and challenge it, that's fine, but if it requires 5-minutes of video replay to see if a skate blade was in the air over the blue line to give an offside, that's not so fine. I've also experienced this with the Shoot-out. Often, cameras will pan to a goalie watching replays of the next shooter to get a read on them. Ban the i-pad and force the goalies to do their research beforehand. I'm wondering what others think. Is the use of video replay technology by the coaching staff something that should be banned in the NHL?

They should trade one of their top 3, but they won't. They rake in too much money for the franchise. They'll keep sitting and raking in money because they're entertaining. But they won't win anything. -
Who is your all time favorite Canuck? (Poll/Discussion)

KesLORD. Don't disrespect the guy and not put him on the list! -
Ya crazy. It's almost as if you make millions of dollars because of the fans! You shouldn't have to do an interview to entertain them!

The more I watch this clip, the angrier it makes me. 0 care in the world when he makes the pass, especially with all the time he had (literally couldn't expect anything BUT a turnover with how he passed that), and 0 hustle to take the puck away...

[Report] Evander Kane is in trouble again.
Makaramel MacKhiato replied to xereau's topic in General Hockey Discussion
10 games would be a tough pill to swallow, especially because it was the linesman who brought him down while he was just skating. Crazy to think that would be an automatic 10, and there are far worse things out there that happen where fines only occur... Also, who can tell me how many games Wideman got for running over a ref a few years ago? -
