Yeah, great book so far, and that was a nice surprise to learn that tidbit.

Have you read any good hockey books?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Polak is a top 5? Well, okay.

Polak for a 2nd rounder and maybe another player?

Sadly no. Lacking on the hockey books lately whereas I've read plenty of football/baseball ones.

Hunwick not on the ice for warm-ups. Loov is in.

 

[RC]

Had to point out Vancouver on a map to someone. I'm in Texas alright.

 

[Cake Boss]

Hmmm watch the shitty SNES play the Canes on a February night or listen to Habs lunch and play Rocket League....hmmmm

Yayyyy

I wanna see a signature Loov open ice hit on Zuccarello tonight

I read Jeremy Roenick's first one and thought it was great.

Playing with Fire by Theo Fleury just might be my favorite sports-related book of all time. Maybe my favorite non-fiction. So good.

Babcock can go shove his book up his ass. Sucked so badly.

Tried reading Ken Dryden's book but was bored to tears like 20 pages into it. Never tried it again. I probably should.

Bob McKenzie's book is supposed to be hella good but I haven't read it yet.

Frankie Corrado moved up to the top pairing with Morgan Rielly!

For Soc!

I highly recommend Playing with Fire.

I'll probably pick up John Scott's book too when it comes out.

BLESS

also this means Rielly will be playing his strong side for once

With Loov in the lineup, the leafs D has to be the youngest in the NHL right?

Polak would be the only one over the age of 25

Yeah my Dad has stacks of Hockey books, those you mentioned included, many of which I bought for him. I did want to read Bob McKenzie's book(s). Edit: actually maybe I will read that next.

Watching the Rangers stream of the game. The commentary is so matter-of-fact. lol

 

[Socreges]

Subban for Hamhuis

we get a younger defenseman, Habs get a white guy

That contract, though...

 

[Quick]

Dat Polak big body presence on Stalberg.

Bless it.

 

[Smiley90]

:lol

In what universe are Polak and Hamhuis even remotely similarly skilled? Oo

PAP! Trade Value!

Loov assist

 

[Kave_Man]

Loov first point!

 

[zroid]

PAP!

TRADE VALUE!

 

[Quick]

PAP

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVV

 

[MetatronM]

LOL Sam can't believe what he's saying about the Leafs having the lead.


That looks like a kick and shouldn't count, though.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I think you guys should keep PAP.

 

[Quick]

That McDonagh guy looks pretty good. Habs should trade for that guy. Imagine him being paired with Subban.

 

[ZeroGravity]

I can't believe Cooper put Carle in the lineup again. He's fucking lost it.

 

[dr.rocktopus]

Pierre Added-Value Parenteau

 

[ElephantShell]

Good goal! P.A still rollin and first NHL point for Loov.

Was that assist Marincin's first point of the season as well?

 

[MetatronM]

I mean, the front of his skate came up off the ice as he moved it forward to knock the puck in. How is that not a kick?

 

[lamaroo]

It's weird, there's a blank space in your post. In between 'that' and 'guy', wonder what's going on there.

Bless PAP. Already knows he's on the trading block and wants to come back because he had a good experience.

His morale must be high.

 

[zroid]

He's talking about Roman Polak

 

[dr.rocktopus]

I thought it looked like that a bit too, but I guess it wasn't considered "distinct" enough plus the inertia from moving to the net.

Spoiler

also I just want to lose not matter how dishonorable it is

The NHL has really relaxed this year on the whole "distinct kicking motion" thing.

You really gotta pull the skate back and boot that thing for a goal to be called back these days.

Loov first point!

Love it!

 

[Quick]

Meta, Stasis, is this how Rangers commentaries are usually? This is surprisingly a pleasant change for me, compared to listening to the asshats at Sportsnet.

You watching the MSG feed with Sam and Joe? Yup, this is the regular crew.

 

[dr.rocktopus]

Loov it!

am I nhl.com worthy yet

Yeah. It's seriously really pleasant. And by pleasant, I mean that I don't instantly want to stab a knife through my head.

 

[zroid]

Man if we hadn't sent Arcobello down to the Marlies he'd probably be decent trade bait. He's a good player.

 

[zroid]

lol poor Grabner

 

[Quick]

Grabner with a close one, just when the MSG crew was shitting on him. lol

 

[MetatronM]

Yeah. It's seriously really pleasant. And by pleasant, I mean that I don't instantly want to stab a knife through my head.

Sam Rosen's the best in the business as far as I'm concerned, senile moments and all. Never feels right without him.

 

[dr.rocktopus]

debating switching streams since the only thing TSN's stream is not choppy on is ads :/

 

[MetatronM]

October Raanta came to play tonight.
