Is there any way to convert That's It, That's All and The Art Of Flying into GIFs and just have that as the Avs win GIF?
I hope Doughboy is... Unable to play in the playoffs. NOT INJURED. Just... Unable to play.

No, It reminds me of a day of snowboarding and being on top of the world. I will post when I can. I am here to inspire.

Also this is a suitable avs win gif:
I stopped taking issue with St. Louis after I read Friedman's 30 thoughts that he was so pumped about scoring an OT goal in the 2004 SCF because Calgary passed on him many years ago. Apparently, this kinda stuff drives him.
It sounds butthurt but I take it as, if this is the kind of thing that has gotten him into the NHL and made him into possible hall of famer then I can't really criticize him for it.Without his butthurt he might have had "better character" but then he might have just been a regular joe like the rest of us. We all need to find out drives and that's his.

It's very very big 19 & 21.
... So is the GIF.

Yeah, we need more terrible homer announcers in hockey.

Rycroft definitely isn't a homer, he's basically the only person in the Altitude crew that will say negative shit about the team when they're playing bad.
All that size at a lean 4 MB. Not even Soc can bitch!

POWERFUL GIF CODEC
Like how episodes of Bobs Burgers and Archer are like 90mb nowadays for perfect quality. I'm still in amazement over that.

Really now? Is there a new video codec out or something?

You mean like, you want him to forget to charge his cellphone and his car breaks down on his way to the game seven times consecutively?
...I'll allow it.
He is an analyst for the after show and he is nothing like the Chicago like announcers you describe.
Permanently stuck on the 5?
4MB? That's an illegally downloaded song. Thanks for knocking 4MB off my cap, which I could've used to download another song.
:lol internet cap

Poor Hamonic :C
YES! Precisely! Or his wife gets miraculously pregnant and has a baby or something.
Been out for a few years now, but seems every "easy TV" animated release is dinky amounts of MB.

Today I learned what Echolalia and Apoplectic means.
Turns out Apoplectic doesn't mean Apocalypse-based Electronic Pop Music.
Add these to the OP Kavey.
A lot of classics born from these 8 episodes.
Acid's solo rant is my personal highlight.
We need to restart the podcast at some point. Those were fun as hell to do. I forgot a ton of what was in them so I've been skipping around a bunch of those and it's been cracking me up for the last couple hours.
Still my favorite part of everything we did. :lol :lol
End of episode 7 too. :lol
I was expecting a rant on Solo
same :lol
I have nothing to say about that dumb dildo.
I like how you see the world
:lol :lol :lol
Forgot about Acid's rant. What a salty old cunt.
We should definitely bring it back, I have a lot of yelling to do, and my walls can only take so much.

I really hate the overtime loss point. The NHL is the only major sports league that rewards you for being a fucking loser. Detroit has 14 overtime losses if I'm reading the standings correctly. Toronto has two more wins than them and only 8 overtime losses. If you lose in overtime you don't deserve a point. 8 overtime losses by the way is on the lower end of the NHL. A ton of teams at 10+.
Remove the overtime loss point and the Leafs are in the playoffs.

OK but we can give Detroit two more wins for those games at hand and they would still be down 2 points on the Leafs.
If you miss the playoffs and have more wins at the end of the season than a team in the playoffs then that is shitty.
#BitterLeafsFan
15 OT losses second to only the Devils. I'm too lazy to do the math so I don't know where that'd put them if they took out the OT loss points.
Holy selective bullshit batman. The Leafs have two fewer ROW than the Wings. And four more SO wins. What exactly are you proposing that would be both fair and somehow benefit the Leafs playoff chances? OT losses are worth nothing but SO wins are worth 2 points? Really? Congratulations to the Leafs on not being able to make it past regulation before losing. They must deserve some kind of fucking sticker. And congratulations for being exceptional at the shootout, a metric which has little relevance to how the previous 65 minutes were played. Here's another sticker. No playoff spot, though.
No, they would each have 38 wins apiece and Detroit wins the tiebreaker.

But would his proposal put the Canucks in the playoffs?

I'm actually not saying this because it would help the Leafs chances but because I think it'd make the game better and teams going for it more.
My proposal would be cut the OT loss point and cut the shootout. After that I don't know yet. Sudden death OT in November doesn't sound very appealing but you can change the rules of OT enough to increase the likelihood of a winning goal and have them play until that happens.
4 on 4 for a minute to 3 on 3 for a minute to 2 on 2 for 3 minutes or whatever. Shootouts are boring as shit and irrelevant as you mentioned. Someone can figure out a better way. NFL, NBA, MLB all have a winner or a loser at the end of the game.
