ESPN is just garbled garbage at this point. They have nothing to offer substance wise.

i watch mike & mike before work.
i can't sit through an episode of sportscenter.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I usually put on SportsCenter as background while I get ready for my day (unless it's hockey season, then it's NHL Tonight obviously), but when NBA free agency is happening I just can't

I think he knows but my point is an NHL player wouldn't be doing this for the attention and control the way he is.

One of my favorite tweets from NHL free agency:

Went up to Flyers rookie camp today. Nothing really jumped out, as it should be since, you know, it's a bunch of drills in July. (I hate people who over-evaluate this shit).

Looking at the list of blue liners, the Flyers have five solid guys who all have NHL: Alt, Gostisbehere, Hagg, Morin and Sanheim. Sanheim and Gost have some great feet, I can tell you that. I'm looking forward to seeing these guys in game action. Same for Hagg, who should be with Lehigh this year.

Cory Schneider!

When I saw that last night when I got home. my first thought was , wow, that's too much money. Is it an overpay? Does CBJ have to overpay like the Isles did to obtain/keep talent? I know he brings a lot of intangibles but I thought it was a lot. Good for CBJ, though.

In other news, what's all this talk about Cleveland. Did they get an expansion team?

1996 World Cup on the NHL Network. Game 1 on now. Game 3 is on at 8:30. Such a great series.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

The USA - Russia game at MSG was truly an unbelievable night and experience. One of my favorite live game experiences ever for any sport. Hard to put it over Islanders playoff wins, especially in OT (yeah, we've had those and I've seen them in person) but to be there in person to shout U-S-A and the buzz in the building was not quite The Miracle on Ice but it was up there. There was still some hate the Soviets.

And 94 wasn't that long ago but I was firmly behind Richter and Leetch and rooting against Kasparaitis, arguably my favorite Islander at the time.

And I remember, the post game stop at Runway 69 to celebrate wasn't bad either.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Always get a kick out of what these guys do with the Cup.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Sadly I don't remember the early rounds at all really. It was a weird situation for me. Root for the US or Stevie, Coffey and Primeau. At that time it felt like Stevie would never win a Cup so wanted him to win something. Game 3 seemed over and then I think it was 4 goals in like 3 minutes. It was surreal how it happened so fast.Watching those games again the other night, I fogot how good Richter was. Henrik still got some time in his career but same thing happened to Richter. A great goalie, whose team just wans't good enough. Richter got his one but that one was a challenge.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

game 3 of the 1996 world cup is the greatest hockey game ever played.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

This is something they just need to do regularly. I know it's not the Olympics but I'd almost prefer to have this and have amateurs play the Olympics.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Those 1996 World Cup games were so, so good.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Kevin Dineen hired as an assistant coach for the Blackhawks. Good for him.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wings will be searching for another assistant as Tom Renney is becoming president of Hockey Canada.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Lose one but gained one today. Granato is one of the new Wings assistant coaches.

Q just loves bringing in his buddies to work with him.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Finished up my story that will be online later from the Flyers Trial on the Isle event today. It's on their young defensemen. Also have video with Sanheim and Morin, who are fucking tall :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

how tall is sanheim?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Sanheim is 6'4"

Here's my story and video from today: http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/s...tml?mode=story

Never eat 5G before your first game back in 4 months. Jesus dunno why I thought that was a good idea.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Don't eat that if you want to do anything physical the rest of the day.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

But it can be so, so good.....

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Oh it is, but makes immobile the rest of the day.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

One of the worst mistakes I ever made was eating Indian food right before playing my first hockey game after a two-year hiatus.
