All-Purpose Hockey Thread II

It just seems on every OTR they bring it up, and a few weeks ago it was all anyone on the station could talk about (hits to the head). I'm glad Healy stood up for it – although I missed it – and not having left it for Domi. Domi would have screwed it up one way or another and come off sounding like a complete retard.

 

They're not letting Domi sit at the big kid table anymore. Best move TSN has made there...

 

I was wondering why I hadn't seen him on in a while. Thank God

 

I heard Domi's not on because he's in the breakroom staring at a carton of orange juice that says "concentrate" on it.

 

What do you mean admiring his pass? He was coming around the back of the net with a wraparound.

Still a clean hit tho.

A bit of a chippy game last night. Oilers were going after Markov a bit, probably because of the hit on Stoll. Maybe that took them off their game too.

 

He has his own segment: "Win, lose or Tie." It's really not that good.

I love watching TSN during intermissions. The bastards at Center Ice cut off the TSN postgame programming. But watching TSN coverage during intermissions reminds me of how good ESPN could be covering hockey if it wanted to be.

As far as production quality, I've found that I really like the Thrashers broadcasts (but not necessarily the announcers.) It was humorous that the guy doing interviews last night had substituted for Colin Cowherd that day considering Colin refuses to talk hockey.

 

Jesus, that was funny. Well done.

 

Stats are saying Raycroft left late in the second. What's up?

 

CBS Sportsline's glog says it looked like Raycroft suffered a groin injury.

 

More bad news for Mo, huh?

Meanwhile, Cam Ward gets his first regular-season shutout. How many goalies get two playoff shutouts before they record their first regular-season shutout? He made some terrific saves, but the Caps didn't exactly pelt him.

 

Good to hear ... was out staffing hockey, so no chance to follow this one. And the TV down in the fat-cat area was tuned into the football game. Sounds like Ovechkin didn't break loose, which is most of the battle against the Caps.

 

Commodore, among others, kept the clamps on Ovechkin.
