bunomatic Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 As much as I dislike Brian Burke for his blowhard ways he's been real good in his role on the telecasts these playoffs. Interesting insight and I've been entertained. He's mellowed some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 But you're right: Everyone's better than Doc and Pierre. "and Pierre" is the operative qualifier. I was listening to Doc last night during long stretches of play by play and, to use one of his words, he's just remarkable. Especially at his age. He's only a few years younger than Rick, and he still actually knows who has the puck at all times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with Doc, though, is that there are often long stretches when he doesn't do play by play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted May 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) Last night was the first home loss for the Jets since February 27th. They've won 13 straight there. All the more reason this playoff format is garbage. Winnipeg had the SECOND highest point total in the league, and no doesn't get home ice advantage in the 2nd round? Let alone they have to play the only other team to have more points than them, in the 2nd round. Ridiculous Edited May 4, 2018 by WildCard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 These playoffs, oh my. Has anyone seen anything like it? For all the grief we give the league and Bettman, they have to be given a nod. Just fantastic. And it makes you all the madder at those who've reduced us to feeling like fans of an ECHL team watching these playoffs. You are absolutely correct. The problem with Doc, though, is that there are often long stretches when he doesn't do play by play. And it's maddening. Happens less in the postseason, no?

Wyldnwoody44 Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 I need to say the officiating has been inconsistent and terrible in every game I watched Also F the Bruins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 And for dudacek's consolation let it be noted for the record that Martin Jones just gave up a very Lehner-esque goal to give Vegas baby Vegas a 3-0 lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woods-racer Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 I need to say the officiating has been inconsistent and terrible in every game I watched Also F the Bruins In the Boston series I believe Tampa has been the beneficiary of Marchant Antics. Can't have a player on a team be that big of a cheap shot low life and not expect the human nature of refs to be more positive to the other team. We saw the same with Kaleta.

And for the record, Doc Emrick is still the best play-by-play man in the game. As much as I love RJ, Doc will always hold a special place in my heart.
