NHL Off-Season 2016 |OT| My prospects are better than yours

It seems too far gone now, I kept waiting for it to happen, I'm just surprised they cut it completely.

To be fair, after Lady Stonehearts brief introduction, we didn't hear anything about her in the books. Perhaps also saving that Lord of the light resurrection magic for Jon so its not as obvious that he would be resurrected? Idk.

That's true, makes sense considering how much focus the show has put on Jon, not wanting to give viewers any real hint of what was to come.

Just read the thread and some people seem to believe this spoiler may appear in the next episode, would get quite the reaction.

It was the straw that broke the camel's back and caused me to stop watching the show. It's inclusion now would give me mixed feelings but they've since screwed up so many other things since then, I'd still be glad to have stopped.

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
I didn't read the books so if you guys could either stop talking about it or declare book spoilers vs show spoilers, that'd be fucking faaaantastic.
 
Do people really care who hosts hockey broadcasts and who is on the intermission? If you want to watch the game, you might stick around, if you don't want to watch the game you won't tune in just to see the host

Right?

I'm just warning people because I don't wanna have to end up murdering someone!

"With the Cavaliers winning the 2016 NBA Championship, this is the first time a Cleveland team has won a professional championship since the Lake Erie Monsters won the AHL Championship in 2016"

I recorded game 7 and the 3 hrs ran out with 1 min left and a 89-89 tie.....had been easily the most interesting bball game I'd seen in years so that was upsetting

Holy fuck though golden state just choked down the stretch. They sank nothing. Was Curry injured? What was his deal?

And James was clutch. That leap into the foul for three free throws was a cheat...but technically legit so good for him. And that block in the 4th quarter was unreal.

r/hockey has some really good shit going on, like the superbowl thread that's always bigger than the ACTUAL superbowl thread or that time "Dave Cameron has been fired" made it to the front page and confused all the Brits :lol

wow

This is amazing karma.

2014: Ron Maclean is annexed to parts unknown, despite being the best hockey television personality in the entire country, in order to usher in a "new, hip" NHL to cater to millenials.

2016: After everything blows up the way we knew it would, Maclean is given back the crown. Glorious.

Welcome back, Ron.

No but if a broadcast has shitty hosts and commentary then I usually ignore it and it ruins the game for me. Especially last year where I didn't watch a single SNES game that was on Sportsnet, coming from TSN doing your games to Sportsnet is a giant gap in quality.

40 in WORLD CELCIUS you god dang american't and your arbitrary system

Fuck your French Celsius bullshit.

OK, doing some conversions over here... shit, its going to be... 185 degrees in Orange County today? God damn, I don't know how you French handle this kind of heat. You should switch to Fahrenheit and enjoy the cooler weather.

oh shit talking about weather, there's a race track owner not too far away from Montreal who is suing a weather reporter because he said it was going to rain and it didn't, so he had to cancel 3000$ worth of reservation...

Right?

Apparently some people think it's more important than watching your team play.

I generally don't care. Give me a simple presentation of the game that isn't distracting and I'm good to go . I don't care much at all for any of the Caps crew on the CSN broadcasts, but I tune in when the game starts, and check out when it's over.

Winning cures all. If all the Canadian teams were playing well, I'm sure ratings would just be super duper and everything is hunky dory.

I thought George was fine, just seems much better suited as a interviewer in a more personal setting. I mean I like Ron, so I'm fine and dandy with him being back. If the broadcast is filled with more puns that's a good thing!

Today's trivia question is 'What is the worst news that Cake Boss will hear today?'

Answer:

Wayne Scanlan ‏@HockeyScanner 6m6 minutes ago

"Cone of silence" on Hoffman talks. Ceci talks heating up.

Well he is a 4th liner, so it makes sense to treat him like one in the priority list of signings.

Saw your edit. ;)

Dorion has also said that he's not interested in pursuing a top 6 forward, which could indicate that he's pretty confident he can get Hoffman done.

Team Hope indeed :p

They said it was going to rain at the Canadian GP but it didn't.

Also some of the F1 drivers were suiting up in the Canadiens practice facility during that week. Pretty cool.
