Archie Lee Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 18 hours ago, Norcal said: McLellan is good enough for the next level since he usually gets his teams to the playoffs, should they choose. They'll just need an upgrade in 2-3.5 years if they want to compete for the cup. It was reported that McLellan was interviewed before the Krueger hire (along with Dave Tippett) and it was written that he told Pegula that Pegula's reputation around the league was as a man who lacked patience. Somewhat interestingly, today the fan base largely thinks Pegula is being too patient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhat interestingly, today the fan base largely thinks Pegula is being too patient. He probably figured when they were stalled out in the first round a couple years in a row, he'd get sacked. Honestly I'd take playoffs and out over not making the playoffs year after year at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At last year's ASG SC they also held the mascot hockey game after the broadcast was over. It was the best part of the night. The range of skills from some of them being barely able to skate to others being REALLY good at the hockey was surprising. Expected they'd all have at least reasonable skill. Sabretooth was solid last year. The Eastern mascots won last year because Carlson was a brick wall. Looks like both of those are still true this year. Interestingly (or not) the Rags didn't have a mascot last year and Detroit's mascot is a giant octopus but it isn't a costume (or at least it wasn't), so at last year's game the Eastern Conference was down 2 skaters but still won going away. Didn't pay close enough attention to see if those 2 finally got ones this year but didn't notice them if they were there. No idea why they couldn't find a way to broadcast these games. They're the best part of the AS weekend. But how pathetic is it that they had to set up Carlton with a situation that even a Loaf in the 1st round of the playoffs couldn't have not scored on? The game itself is entertaining enough. They don't need to coddle the stinkin' Loaf employees and fans. Pathetic. Pathetic indeed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the schools had a mascot that didn’t wear one of the giant heads like all the rest. That guy always destroyed all of them in the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's ***** awesome. I wish he was a Sabre. Loved it! His commitment to not committing is as fascinating as it is entertaining. The fact that he's the league leading scorer just adds to the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookie1 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 3 hours ago, SwampD said: What are you talking about? There is no way that is true. After Kucherov finishes they show the two of them and their faces both said they weren't exactly happy. Perturbed might be a bit extreme though, at minimum I do feel they were annoyed by something at that moment. Now watching it back again they look bored with a hint of ugh. Effectively it looks like they were more annoyed they didn't get a show versus angry and Kucherov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine every year your company give every employee a paid week off, but if you’re a top earner you have to go have mandatory fun. Then imagine that every single year. There’s players that want to be there. Get them there instead. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was probably like,”Let me get this straight, the league consulted with McDavid to see how the skills day could be better, and they somehow come up with an idea to give a million dollars away to the winner, knowing it’s going to be McDavid, and I have to go dance like a monkey while they do it?!… ***** that.” And did that numbskull reporter actually ask McD what it felt like to be a millionaire?
