Special shout out to ABC during the Stanley Cup Finals as I thought Sean McDonough, Ray Ferraro and Emily Kaplan did a fine job calling the action and the production team were magnificent. The closing montage with all of the NHL teams in the 2021-2022 playoffs to "Teenage Wasteland" is worth going out of your way to seeing if you missed it.

Here's an article on Emily Kaplan from The Athletic.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Remember way back when the Avs won the Cup the other day? That was cool. I liked that.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Sean McDonough definitely did a great job, he’s a true professional. Guy can call anything and make it exciting without being over the top.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Shots fired as Gus Johnson?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Fucking roasted.

Also, I was referring to how highly touted Makar was going into the 2017 draft and how some Flyers beat writers said the Flyers missed on Makar when Philly was eying Patrick or Hischier. I've been banging my head over that whiff in the draft for the last 5 years.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Receipts!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Thanks for doing the work for us. I thought about just posting something like "fonzz41, the man, the myth." yesterday. But I never got around to it. I was deciding if I wanted to take the time to do the work that you did. :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I just wanna know how the fuck you guys remember who posts what on this boards and when. I couldn't recall like 99% of the shit said in this thread other than Brohan not knowing what a hat trick is.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Gordie how hat trick*

And I searched Makar but I knew there was no way Matty wasn’t high on Makar right off the bat

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Gus Johnson was great until he became a meme of himself. But I do miss him calling March Madness games. That over the top lunacy matches the tone of that tournament perfectly.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I really don't mind GJ.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Was fun.

We should do it again.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Injuries coming out of todays exit interviews:

McDonagh - mangled finger in ECF
Cirelli - AC joint sprain in both shoulders
Hagel - fractured foot
Bellemare - meniscus before playoffs
Paul - MCL sprain in Final
Kucherov - MCL sprain in Final
Perry - shoulder joint sprain in ECF
Point - torn quad muscle

Yup. Sounds about right.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

McD tired and old as compared to his Ranger days.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I’m down

We did not get to boo Bettman, which is our right as Cup winners

Surprised Cernak isn’t on this list

That dude threw himself in front of a buncha shots

Re: The NHL Thread
 

How does that compare to the expected injuries number?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

With xI taken into account, we won the Cup.

Ambulance boat parade will be this weekend.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I will be curious to see the Avs final injury report, too. I know Burkovsky was playing on a broken ankle but had a broken thumb, too. Nichuskin's foot was kinda shattered.

Hockey players are tougher than me, lol.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Avs are still the champs, btw

Just in case you wanted a reminder :)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

During the Stanley Cup playoffs, Bednar says Darcy Kuemper had to go to optometrist 2-3 times a day to "re-train his eye".

Other injuries:

Val - broken foot
Burky - broken foot/thumb
Kadri - broken thump
Girard - broken sternum
Helm - abnomimal tear

Damn right! In my team meeting at work I just excused everyone so they can attend the rally & parade tomorrow if they'd like. It's going to be glorious!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Jealous. I would absolutely go if I were in Colorado.

I wonder if there will be a live stream I can watch

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Not sure about a livestream. If I hear of one I'll post it.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

If you do, I appreciate it!

If not, I'll try to follow along via Avs social media

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol:lol

You guys know this stuff is used across many sports right? Like soccer has expected goals.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Pretty happy about Fiala to the Kings. Seems like a good deal!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Parade day! Super fans already lining the route :cool

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I get analytics in some cases, but this expected goals stat is just a fun way for losers to say, “Well we played well enough to score this many goals!!”

What does a soccer analytic say about a 0-0 draw? “Manchester United really outplayed them, they should have scored 1.2 goals!” GTFO.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Sounds like the Avs website will be streaming

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Thanks! I’ve been watching the Ch. 7 stream

Did you see Kadri’s shirt? Trolling the shit out of ‘em :lol
