2008/09 NHL Thread

Apologize to who?

His teammates should apologize to him.

The Habs were friggin' awful. McGuire was constantly slamming the forwards for not getting back to help on the D.

And I don't think RDS cares (nor do their viewers) about a "fuck" on their network.

 

Apologize to the fans, more than likely, for words unbecoming of a Canadien.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if it happens. Remember that goody-goody image of the NHL? Those guys don't say 'fuck.'

Or 'sloppy seconds.'

Only on the ice.

 

It was on French TV. and they could have bleeped it out.

Nothing will happen.

 

You stupid when you do dat. Just some English pig wit no brains.

 

You go to box and you feel shame.

 

And hey ... where'd you get the shot of Frank? My God, that is a big, big man.

 

They showed the clip on TSN Sportscentre. Bleeped out the F bomb. Les maudits anglais would be offended.

 

If anyone's feeling creative with the photoshop this weekend, you can enter Puck Daddy's Fake Hockey Card competition.

I think the Bettman card on the right sums it up pretty well.

 

Anybody else listen to much hockey on the radio (well, radio via the internet)? It's really my only option for following the Penguins regularly, but as many games as I've listened to I still feel like I have no idea what is going on. That's nothing against the announcers; it's just the game moves too fast to really get a feel for what is really going on. I can't see it in my head the way I can baseball. Thoughts?

 

Coming from a guy whose local PBP man was just ranked in the 50 worst across all American areas, I don't mind good hockey radio broadcasts.

I think there is a certain skill to it, and it's a tough one to acquire.

 

Wow, dude, in the 50 worst? That's saying something, because you guys have some really terrible crap to listen to.

 

It was across all spectrums too. Billy Packer was No.1, Berman No.2.

For a local radio hockey PBP guy to make a list like this, you know he's terrible.
