Game #74 Pens @ Wings

I rank them up there with Brick and Jack.
Going to disagree. Compared to Redmond, Jack is the blind scale of justice.

Yeah, Jack is no choir boy...but Brick makes the pairing serviceable...plus, at least Jack calls a good game...as much as he's a homer, he still calls a good game if you're ever rooting for the Bruins...Brickley is one of the best color guys in the game...Ken Daniels doesn't call a good game...Mickey Redmond is just...puke...

"Apparently you're allowed to do that now..." re: Lovejoy trying to tie up the puck in his feet...Tatar can't guess and is under no obligation to guess that Lovejoy is going to technically not touch the puck...he addresses the puck by going after it, therefore he's in play...that's existed for roughly 120 years...you've been around long enough to not be this aggressively stupid...is it just designed to confuse people or is it a legitimate thought from Steigy...?

Please don't make me switch to the awful Red Wings guys...just let Errey call the game...

Doesn't this exist for offsides too? If you're offside and address the puck, but not touch it, it gets blown down. Yes?

I agree they call a good game and get just as excited when the other team scores as when the Bruins do, but hearing Edwards laughing at the opponent when they get hurt, or cheering on cheap shots is bush league.

It used to be more like this...a couple years ago, the league sent out a memo to basically not blow the whistle on delayed offside plays unless you absolutely have to. So now they just kind of yell at you "red! red! red! you're off! you're off! 21 you're ****** off!"

But what Lovejoy did is just a normal hockey play. No one has ever seen a game where that exact play didn't happen...except for jackass Paul here...come on dude...

And yes, I agree with you about Jack making light of others' misfortunes in such a way...that is amateur hour...

So what Lovejoy says, which is a fair amount of information to just give like that, is that instead of going D to D when you turn your back to retrieve. Throw it past the corner that the D partner is in, to the winger coming down those boards and that winger moves it to the middle to the center with speed.

Kind of like that setup we had a few games with Rust and Kuhnhackl I think it was...except lower in the zone...put the pressure on this Red Wings defense, that's where you can make in roads probably...Brendan Smith, Mike Green, soff...go after them for turnovers...they've regurgitated a few already thanks to some good forechecking...

Ditching Lange for that clown is still an unforgivable sin.

We're getting lucky with those boards lately. Kunitz both times too?

Wings guys still whining about no icing.

Of all the stick infractions to call today, that one doesn't really register...

Crosby has been really good so far in this one...

What a shot by letang

Nice!

I hate when Kunitz scores. He gives a crap effort and then gets bounces.

Postby **Gaucho** » Sat Mar 26, 2016 3:13 pm

Norris trophy, baby

That Letang goal is the exact setup of the Ottawa power play...nice finish from Letang...

This game does not make me miss Craig Adams.

Assuming Dumoulin was pulled for concussion symptoms?
