Though I do enjoy fans talking sanctimoniously about other players when every team has multiple shitheads/pussies/bitches/other terms on it.
And for the record, Pittsburgh has the worst homer announcers. Jack is a homer but he has enthusiasm, regardless of whether or not it's the B's or opposition playing well, and calls a great fight. He'd be a great national guy but I'm content to at least have someone that's entertaining over the horror of the Washington or Pittsburgh announcers. I would put Chicago up higher but, all you kids at home look right here, look here, look here, Eddie O sucks.
Edit: What was the Chara cheapshot? All I remember is the tossing of JVR when their sticks were tangled and putting the hand in/pushing back Lupul's face after Rask gave him a nice right cross, which made me chuckle.

One could argue that's what the Broons did last night when they thought they were done. Bunch of cheap shots in that game, particularly Kelly and Chara. One could argue that that level of intensity also turned the game around, since Lucic was the catalyst.

Was watching Rangers.
Heard about Kelly. The Toronto media was begging Carlyle to go after the refs in the postgame presser. He didn't really bite, only said he thought the Lucic hit was a penalty. Granted I only saw about 15 minutes of the game.

Dude. I'll forgive you for getting carried away after the B's ridiculous comeback, but you should come back and rescind this in a day or two. Edwards is a clown who couldn't hack it on a national stage (ESPN).

Lucic's hit was a penalty, but it wasn't a cheap shot. Kelly's and Chara's (to varying degrees) were each after play was dead and were shots to the face. Kelly's was a vicious elbow.
Rough shit doesn't bother me much, but my fellow Broons fans just need to remember shit like that when they start crying about the Savard and Bergeron injuries.

Oh come on now. You're comparing minor penalties to suspendable offenses.

Nope. Point was Broons fans would definitely downplay the Kelly cheap shot. And you just did. Case Desmithed.

I didn't say it wasn't cheap. Just that it was a minor penalty. Comparing it to suspendable cheap shots is retarded. Your turn prosecutor.
Edit: Not comparing I guess (I won't strawman you like you did me) but associating the two are dumb.

A. Has it been determined that Shanadouche isn't suspending him? Because I would give him a game for that.
B. Savard's wasn't any more egregious (just harder because he skated into him) and it was in the course of play.

Boston fans are in announcer purgatory after a few decades of two of the best in the business in Fred Cusick and Dave Wilson.
Fred was, for my money, the best ever. Even pairing him with a drunk, drugged, incoherent Derek Sanderson didn't phase him....

No love for Dale?
twballgame9 {l Wrote}:Oh I agree on Chara - that was no big deal, it was cheap, but it was at worst a minor. I see Kelly's as much different - after the play, intentional blow to the head with the elbow. I concede your point about the who on both ends in all cases - certainly everyone knows Van Riemsdyk is an epic whining pussy that does shit like lie on players, and that may have played a role. In a vacuum though, the elbow was egregious.
The Matt Cooke play was a harder hit, and more dangerous. But as you note, the "who" factor works in both directions - That being Matt Cooke's shoulder is a lot different than Kelly's elbow, regardless of how egregious the hits were respectively.
Dick Rosenthal {l Wrote}:A couple of more fun facts for the most ignorant fans in professional sports. Holtby finished in the bottom half of the league in both GAA and Save Percentage. McPhee was desperately trying to make a deal for Ryan Miller at the trade deadline--apparently offered up Green or Carlson or Backstrom and multiple draft picks but was turned down. Finally, as Alan May said this morning "I don't know why anyone would expect the organ-eye-zation to wed itself to a 2008 4th round draft pick with a record of poor playoff performances when it matters most."
And is their a worse announcing pair in any professional sports than Joe Benati and Craig Lacher? The only thing that could make it worse is if John Sterling did hockey games and joined them in the booth.

Sigh. Unfortunately I have to take most of this because of the terrible loss. I didn't see any if the last 3 games cause I'm out of the country. But the fact that you're still harping on the Holtby angle is bizarre. The caps scored 2 goals in the last 3 games. 2....goals. He was far from their problem.
Also his sv% in the regular season was a very solid .920 with 4 shutouts. His GAA was high because he sucked for the first two weeks. The Caps main problem is that without Laich and Erat they had 3 top 6 forwards (ovechkin, ribeiro, and Backstrom) 2 of whom did nothing it seems (ovechkin was at least flying around it seems like).
If McPhee was trying to get Miller, which I don't believe, he would have been nuts to trade Green or Carlson...the caps are also short a top 4 d-man...they have 3 number 6 d-men. McPhee's contracts he handed out this season were awful (Erskine and Hillen specifically). If Leonsis had any brains, he'd get rid of McPhee who has now been here for 15 years and made the finals once with David Poile's players. Terrible team management. He's basically tying his hat to Tom Wilson and Kuznetsov being stud prospects.
Oh and I like Beninatti...but LAughlin can go. The caps radio guy is terrible too.
