Worse, I flipped back on the Panthers broadcast....their announcers are easily in the bottom 2 or 3 in NHL. So bad.
Dammit. Always fun to be on a tear, never fun to be on a rip.
What were you expecting?
I was surprised how bad the Celtics broadcasters were actually.
Must have been a road game. They have a new play by play guy (Drew something) for road games, he's like 14. So far he kind of sucks.
Mike Gorman (been doing play by play sine the 80's) is retiring after this season and only doing home games this year. Gorman is excellent (was paired with Tommy Heinson for a lot of years), Brian Scalabrine on color is OK. Some nights he has some real good insight, other nights not so much. Definite homer though (not as big a homer as Heinson was, he was the ultimate homer).
Well well, look who's in first place in the entire league.
As a Canucks fan, I am just fine with this.

Agreed. Few injuries piling up but definitely a stingy team. Helluva heater! Watched a game in Winnipeg last season just before Christmas, they were playing the Preds and won in overtime. 80% of the fans had Jets jerseys on.
Completely off topic. shout out to the drivers of Winnipeg. The most courteous drivers of any city I’ve driven in North America. Really says a lot about the fine folks of Manitoba.

I actually don’t mind seeing this…for now. It’s nice to see somebody different doing well for a change. It bothers me a little bit because Gabe Vilardi was developed by the Kings and traded for what so far as I see as a bust in PL Dubois. We could have kept Vilardi for half of what PLD is costing us for the next 8 yrs. Best of luck to Iafallo and Kupari too. I enjoyed watching Kupari and Vilardi develop in Ontario in the A. I have had a soft spot for the Jets since the me and my buddy were slamming beers in the Forum club with Teppo Numminen’s mom after the Kings blew a three goal lead in a 5-3 loss. Some things never change…

Many slammed beers in the Forum Club back in the day. The stories....the stories!!
I only root for the Canucks if they wear the greatest sports jerseys of all time - the 1994 unis. Those blue & white things with the dumb C are trash.
This Cutter Gauthier thing is a little too crazy. Let's move on - Drysdale looks like a stud. Go Flyers!!!

Yeah I read a bit and couldn't understand why the kid just decided he didn't want to play for the team that drafted him. Guessing you dodged a nutter.

He said he got "death threats" - if so they should be reported to law enforcement but let's not go taking him at his word, which doesn't seem worth much. Certainly seems better suited for the Anaheim "fanbase" than here.

Lindros said it before the draft. I think that makes a pretty big difference.

Uh huh. And the Nordiques were an objective joke of an organization. As evidenced by their GM trading Lindros to 2 different teams.

Lindros didn’t want to play for the Nords because of the owner, Marcel Aubut. He knew of some things he didn’t like, but never spoke of it until later. Aubut was later accused of sexual harassment by a female colleague.

He did make this known before the draft, though. (Only that he wouldn't play for them if picked.)
This is like Eli Manning or John Elway. If the team drafts st that point it is on them If the player decides after that he won't play for the team, it is on the player.
F Cutter. *obviously death threats are unacceptable. Can understand why the org would bash him, why the players would resent him,and why the fans would boo him

He did, but all the reasons speculated (language, small market, etc.) were not factual, according to Lindros.
As far as Cutter goes, something has happened, and we probably won’t know the full (or partial) extent until far later, such as Lindros.
The Flyers organization was very classy in trying to protect the kid, imo.
People uttering death threats and shit, these are some people that need additional hobbies than watching professional sports. It’s adults playing a kids game, but some of these people treat their home team like some kind of gang-bullshit and these professional athletes are wearing their turf colours.

As soon as he was traded, management made several comments about him publicly. That wasn't professional.

Well it would be harder to trade him if you share that you think he's a complete dope beforehand.... He just screwed them over. I think he deserves criticism.

If being unprofessional was the goal,, the new regime achieved it. There's plenty of talk radio in Philly to handle the smears.

They only said he didn’t want to play there. It’s a fair answer to a media question. Tortorella wanted to talk about the player coming to the team. Makes sense to me.
They were talking trade for a while previously, and it never leaked out (very unusual). That protected the kid.

It wasn't Torts. It was a front office guy. I don't recall who. But Torts is a pro.
I only saw the comments of the GM Briere) and VP of Hockey Ops (Keith Jones) and all they said what he didn’t want to play there. Maybe somebody else said something.
I’ve already moved on to be honest. I think Philly won the trade. Top four RD are hard to find, throw in a second round pick which will be between 33-38. This for potential top-six left winger.

I just searched some and I couldn't find anything unprofessional. They said the kid wouldn't talk to them....changed his mind and wouldn't tell them why....the CEO something along the lines of the kid getting a loud reception when he visits, in response to a question about that. Can't see anything newsworthy other than the kid's claims of social media threats. These are awful, if true, but seem to happen to everyone in the public eye. A sign of the Trump, err, times. People are awful.
I don't see what the Flyers did that was unprofessional. The athlete is the one who acted wrongly here. If there is a reason for it, share it. Otherwise? Wear it, kid. Spend your money and enjoy your time in Anaheim.
