Want to thank everyone -- listeners, friends, acquaintances and in some cases total strangers -- that reached out and warmly contributed to today's show. Hopefully we did right by Botch. I hope we did. Brough and I won't be in tomorrow, but will be back on Friday.
also, how in sweet bloody hell is there not an instigator on that? edler has played 915 nhl games without a fight but now suddenly he’s ripping his shirt off and asking for a tilly? anyway, the league has really good officiating
This draft has been an absolute dud and I feel bad for fans, especially ones that paid big money on the secondary markets for tickets. Near unprecedented low levels of buzz and trades.
I'm hearing that Todd McLellan is closing in on an agreement to replace Phil Housley as the next coach of the Buffalo Sabres and that an announcement could come as early as tomorrow.
The Flames hired Treliving in April of 2014. Flames goalies since then:
Jonas Hiller
Karri Ramo
Joni Ortio
Niklas Backstrom
Brian Elliott
Chad Johnson
Jon Gilles
David Rittich
Mike Smith
Eddie Lack
Cam Talbot
Babcock makes Matthews sit for the too many penalty, then throws him out with the fourth line. More obvious signs of friction that threaten to tear this Leafs team apart
if you don’t think we’re petty enough to book every writer that didn’t vote for hughes for the sole purpose of admonishing them, well, you don’t really know the halford and brough show
hey everyone, for those reaching out/asking.... i’m alright, just a little under the weather. gonna play it safe again tomorrow and stay home — hope to talk to you all on monday!
my niece was hunting easter eggs this morning when she stopped, suddenly, and began to cry. her mother asked what was wrong. ‘i knew the easter bunny was fake,’ she replied. ‘but i didn’t know about bo.’ she’s coming on the show tomorrow. she’s five
in classic playoff form, the “what are they gonna do about reaves?” question is being asked in a game where stone and pacioretty have combined for two goals, three points and 11 shots on goal
i mention this often (prolly too much), but Found Money Phil is best value contract in the nhl. 15:04 toi, on pace for 38 points, playing on one of the top scoring lines in the league. all for $775k. it’s unreal
Just for additional context:
— Fleury’s in the first of a three-year, $21M deal
— DeBoer’s in the first of a four-year deal
— Lehner’s a pending UFA
— Vegas starts a fairly important playoff series *checks watch* uh tomorrow
Don’t worry tho, the NHL will absolutely address the blown call through its PR department. And so will the referees in their postgame media availability
this game is the perfect embodiment of the canucks — brutal start, huge hole dug, rally just enough to provide faint glimmer of hope, ultimately fall short, pets heads fall off
