You mean to tell me that David Pastanark got into a fight last night and not one person in the timeline broke it the words #FoodFight !!? What are we doing here #HNOM
Watching us stave off elimination from The Canuck in NYC. They are hamming up the Canadian identity here. They are also blasting Tiger Army on their playlist. Wow clearly winning a way to my heart. #gokingsgo#lakings#hnom@hockey
@krst@hockey I mean, there have been numerous games in the past with a fight on the opening faceoff. In fact I think it was rangers v. flyers a few years ago where there was a line brawl on the opening faceoff. They changed the rules a few years back to cut out those types of fights so you don't see them much anymore.
Ok @hockey am I the only one who HATES the new NHL app? It's way too hard to see team stats and basically impossible to pull up individual player info. Also they fucking stuffed a bunch of banner ads in it?! What an incredibly massive step backwards.
(all this on Android, I'm not sure if iOS is exactly the same)
from a #LGRW POV i'm not sold 100% on either top 2 picks more so with Danielson, i think Benson would have been a better choice. Sandin Pellika was the top D still there so i can go with the Swedes pick more
These 2 choices Imo put more pressure on Yzerman to land a top 2 C by way of a trade + sealing the DeBrincat deal given Detroit's piss poor luck in getting top end franchise players from successive draft lotteries other teams walk away with guys to run their top lines offensively
The lower round picks bar Trey Augustine & Noah Dower-Nilsson were odd where the focus on big defensive D seemed to be the norm typified by Brady Cleveland
I still get the Yzerplan but really it's a kinda meh draft given the lack of scoring the team has, maybe Yzerman has decided he can't get that talent via the draft
@emarktaylor@hockey@hnom@WorldWideWob. I shell out north of 100USD monthly just to watch hockey, and it still doesn’t get me TNT. At that point, I feel no shame or guilt in pursuing alternative means of watching the game. This #nhl tv deal may be nice for the league, but it’s not consumer-friendly at all.
On this date in 1997, the Detroit Red Wings won their 1st Stanley Cup in 42 years, completing a 4-game sweep of the Philadelphia Flyers with a 2-1 win in Detroit.
Nicklas Lidstrom & Darren McCarty had goals in the win for the Wings and goalie Mike Vernon was named playoff MVP.
@emarktaylor@elmiller0330@hockey@hnom@ESPNStatsInfo interesting about that many misconduct.Usually the ref will give out 1 or 2 misconducts as a warning to both teams to cool things down. Obviously both teams realized in the second period the game was done,so getting down and dirty wouldn't cost them the game.Remember the first period in game 1 was chippy but the ref let em play. I guess this boiled over from Stone and Pietroangelo's continued antics.
@emarktaylor@elmiller0330@hockey@hnom@ESPNStatsInfo the refs and the league are deciding these playoffs, but give Maurice credit,this show tonight says to everybody that he knows what's going on and if they don't change, then this stuff will keep going on
@tylerwalz@hockey@hnom I figured there would be some rust after such a layoff. But Saturday's game was good and could have gone either way. I do not feel the same about tonight's game. 😉
