K-9

Last night you would have thought Skinner scored on the Greenway goal.

I’ll just leave it at this, in order to do good radio play by play and be of service to your listening audience, you have to be trained as a radio play by play guy and gain experience as a radio play by play guy by being a radio play by play guy. Especially in hockey, given the fast pace of the action. Dunleavy has the same issues as anyone else in today’s TV sportscaster generation. He and his counterparts never came from the required radio background to do justice in that medium. And nobody will ever convince me otherwise.

While not mathematically eliminated, they certainly appear to be emotionally eliminated at this point. I’ve always said the true test for a team is how they respond after a big loss. Can they get off the mat and get after it the next game or will they throw in the towel. Last night provided all the answers I need on that score. Just another weak, fragile team like the ones we’ve seen since the tank.

Was mentioned up thread that this team deserves the fans’ support. Why? They’ve done everything at home this year to drive fans away with their uninspired play. Especially in big, must win games. I know, maybe Dahlin can write us another letter.

That’s a Dunleavy special.

Ouch. Right in the plums. Sympathy pain.

Tage with the assist.

😂

If we might be worried about next season, then we should be just as optimistic as well.

Rick was part of a dying, if not already dead, breed. He made his bones as a radio play by play guy which is an entirely different discipline. TV only guys, which is all we have in today’s land of simulcasts, don’t possess the skills required to paint the picture for the radio listener. It requires much more focus and stamina than simply having the audience rely on the TV images for the story of the game.

Also speaks to the sheer dominance of his entire team as well.

I sure hope VO has a reduced role… … with another team.

Bruce Hood.

Fair enough, Mike. And I accept your explanation and apology. You’re still a giant douche nozzle.

Taking nothing away from the greatest player in the game, but him going five hole on that goal was some epically crap goaltending as well.

We missed everyone not in the lineup tonight. Can’t wait for Bryson and Clague to sit permanently. Also can’t wait until VO is no longer a part of this team. I pray KA trades him in the offseason. Hopefully, he will reach 30 goals so his stock will be high. But then again, GMs across the league are seeing the same one trick pony so maybe they can’t be fooled so easily.

I gotta hand it to Donny G because he sticks to his philosophy of not sacrificing winning consistently for the sake of one win. There’s only one way to gain experience and that’s to experience it. Let’s hope they learn a thing or two.

Well, have a great time with your dad, regardless.

Did he have similar feelings about Jost when we claimed him off waivers from the Wild?

Way to jinx it TCB. Now he’s gonna go off tonight.

Do you like gladiator movies?

Feel free to say I told you so any way you'd like. I’d like nothing more tonight.

Is this a complete the sentence exercise? Ok, I’ll play. … is a giant douche nozzle.

Last few? More like the last 10. Zero goals, 2 assists (both against LA on 2/13) and a minus 9 in his last 10.

He’s played both all season long. Lately, he’s been playing more wing though.
