He shouldnt have to answer for a fluke injury like that. It was bad luck but the hit was clean. We will never know intent. I agree that the injury was a fluke with MacKinnon's own stick doing the damage, but I don't agree that going high with the shoulder on a mid-ice hit is clean. You are exactly right that we won't know his intent, but those types of hits are what the NHL is afraid of and trying to eliminate. Not answering, in my opinion, is just weak on his part, but entirely his option. Either way, gotta love hockey! 1 Quote Link to comment
AZRaiderH8r Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 The Coyotes, really? Of all the teams to end the Avs home winning streak, the Coyotes? It was a hell of a run, that's for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment

They’ve developed the habit of not putting away lesser teams early. Let em hang around and you’ll end up losing to s#!t teams in a shoot out. 1 Quote Link to comment
default_28 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 With Aaron Dell's cheap shot on Batherson, Brady Tkachuk is our rep at the all-star game which sucks. Brady's fine, but he's a grinder not an all star. Drake has been all-star quality all season and I think will be viewed as a top tier player in a year or two. Playing in the all-star game would have helped with exposing him to fans from outside Canada, feels bad man. Quote Link to comment
default_28 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 My buddy gets Duck tickets through his work so I went with him to the Ducks-Sharks game tonight. I don’t really understand why hockey isn’t more popular. It’s so entertaining to watch. 2 Quote Link to comment

I don’t really understand why hockey isn’t more popular. It’s so entertaining to watch. Yeah, I don’t get it either. It is by far my favorite sport to watch, on TV or in person. I think a lot of it is that people just weren’t exposed to it when younger and the rules are a bit tough to pick up on your own. Plus some 1-0 & 2-1 results may seem a bit boring when you don’t understand the game. I picked it up in the early 90’s because my son started playing inline and ice hockey, had never paid any attention to it prior. Hockey is awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment

The games were really only on the Center Ice package or regional channels. It's nice now that they're on ESPN+ but not everyone is going to pay for that. We got a free year of ESPN+ which has been nice, but I doubt I will re-new it. Quote Link to comment

I don’t think they have a director that knows how to do it. Their camera views and when they use them are bad. Plus the announcers leave a lot to be desired. I’ve got a really nice site to use if you PM me. You can watch any game with home or away feed. Quote Link to comment

I usually just turn the Pens game on while I'm doing something else, so I'm not paying super close attention to all of that stuff lol. 1 Quote Link to comment

The sport is friggin awesome watching in person though. And I was only watching minor league games in person. 1 Quote Link to comment

Maybe it’s because they are severe homers but I really prefer them over ESPN or NHL network. The camera views and cuts are so much better. Some of the ESPN broadcasts use far back wide angles and weird high end views. It is hard to beat in person though. Quote Link to comment

And last time we were in Chicago, made it a point to go to a Blackhawks game. But put it on TV and I'm searching for the remote within 2 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment
admo Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I agree that's excellent entertainment in person. I typically put it on TV when I want to fall asleep. Not because it's boring, but the game sounds are kind of soothing for me. Until a loud a$$ commercial comes on. The winter olympics is also easy to nap to while having supper. Or after. I could always get into hockey, but I stayed away because it was sport overload. Between footballs, hoops, baseball and hockey, something had to give. At one time I had a few friends that played. Not tight buds, but man could they drink. Great dudes. @default_28 why did Anaheim change their name from Mighty Ducks? I always liked that because of the movies. Were the real hockey fans glad they changed it or ?? Just curious Quote Link to comment
desertshox Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Disney sold the team. New ownership changed it. Quote Link to comment
