a few years ago I was lucky to get decent seats to a game in Nashville. I got to see McDavid do this same move from the 5th row. as impressive as it is on TV, it's absolutely CRAZY in person and at ice level.How quickly he gets to top speed is terrifying.
I'm pulling for the Habs as long as they last.Price has to continue to be lights out. I don’t even want to think about the Flyers possibility of winning a Cup.
My second (and last!!) was born when I was 46. But something tells me he'll manage better...48 with a newborn...nope.
“To be honest with you, it doesn’t really feel like playoff hockey because there, there’s no fans,” Rask told reporters after the game. “It’s kind of like you’re playing an exhibition game. Obviously, there are some scrums after the whistle. I haven’t noticed that they would be targeting me or whatnot. Things happen, people falling on you and whatnot. But it’s definitely not a playoff atmosphere.” Obviously, it’s an attention-grabbing quote for the No. 1 goalie on the Stanley Cup favorite to say playoff games feel like exhibitions. But it also sounds like Rask is saying other players feel the same, pointing to the lack of “targeting” directed at him in his crease. Rask eventually expanded on his thoughts. “You’re trying to play as hard as you can,” he said. “Obviously, you’re playing a best-of-even series so there’s going to be some battles going on and whatnot. But when you play at your home rink, you play at an away rink, and there’s fans cheering for you or against you and that creates another buzz around the series. There’s none of that, so it just feels dull at times. There’re moments that, — OK, there’s little scrums and whatnot. But then there might be five minutes and its just coast to coast hockey and there is no atmosphere. It just feels like an exhibition game.” The goalie also was asked about his conditioning, an inquiry he met with another honest response. “Considering I had four months off, not in prime shape, but trying to get there,” he said. “I’m just trying to have fun and play the game. I’m not expecting too much about results and whatnot. It’s August and I haven’t played hockey in forever. Just go out there and have fun and see what happens.”
No, the problem wasn't expansion. As proven in that very video, the problem is moron zebras who stand there and watch that trash and don't call anything.
I love how Beukeboom’s antics are being used as the example of an inferior player brought into the league thanks to expansion. Dude was a turd but he was an 800 game vet who won 4 cups, played on the Rangers top pairing, and was around a hell of a long time before the league’s late stages of expansion.No, the problem wasn't expansion. As proven in that very video, the problem is moron zebras who stand there and watch that trash and don't call anything.
