    This has been creeping up on me for a while: Is Gretzky okay?

    I mean, obviously, he’s doing well enough to participate in a cable network sports broadcast. But he looks and sounds haggard.

    It’s that haircut.

    Well, Wischusen absolutely grew up a Rangers fan.

    For my money, he’s the best hockey pbp caller at ESPN. He clearly knows and loves the sport. Shades of Gary Thorne at times.

    And he gets around. Radio voice for the NY Jets. Lots of ESPN college football. The guy does it all - and with class and a voice that can match big game moments.

    He is really good. It’s just the quality of his voice when gets really excited. A little too much like Gonzo, for me.

    Don't believe that's possible.

    Short of Hasek's blocker having hit him in the melon, nothing was f'n that coiffe.  And he wasn't the target of the blocker toss.

    Every article Fraser wrote after he retired pointed out what an absolutely horrible ref he was and basically admitted that everything we said about NHL officiating was actually true,… no matter what @nfreeman thinks. 😂

  4. Man, Florida looks good.

    I'm not liking this trend of using a homer broadcast team for these games.

    I'm not a big fan of this guy, but he's infinitely better than the guy they had doing the last Rangers/Panthers game. That guy was a drip.

  5. I admit, I preferred EDM winning. I hope they win this series. I can never really tell who I'm rooting for until that first goal is scored. Then my body tells me.

    Plus, those Dallas fans in the stands are tough to look at. Just awful.

    I still think wearing jerseys to games is weird. Of course, Edmonton takes that to another level entirely when everyone in the crowd is wearing the actual jersey that the  team is wearing that night,… but there ain't much else going on up there in the middle of nowhere, so I guess I can cut them some slack.

    Under the assumption we continue to employ personnel who refuse to build a winning hockey team, sure, I just don’t think that ever HAD to be the case 

    Sure, and if my aunt had penis, she’d be my uncle. Of course it never had to be the case, but that was the case.

  7. It’s official. I hate fly fishing. Maybe I would like it more if my eyes were better. But having to swap glasses every time you have tie those tiny little flies onto gossamer thin line sucks.

    And the walking! Seems like all you do is walk. Got out on a beautiful stretch of stream yesterday, the Esopus in the Catskills, and it was great to just be out in it. But man, my back is roached today.

    I’ll take a kayak with a cooler and a spinning reel any day.

    of course, my opinion would probably be completely different had we caught fish.😂

    All the talk of LHD versus RHD has me thinking.

    I am taking an informal poll .. should this be it's own thread ?

    And if so, should that thread have a poll ?

    So, I am right handed, but find that I do some things where my left hand becomes the dominant hand and I hold with my right hand (insert winkie thingie here).

    What do you say guys?  And dolls too, of course ...

    ‘Grats on clearance to drive.

    I seriously recommend you force yourself to get out and do something.

    Just bought my NYS fishing license last night. The weather’s just been so crappy down here, it just doesn’t inspire one to head out into it. I know,… that’s a really lame excuse.
