Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

I found it easier when the kiddo was that age. Worked out FANTASTIC when he was about 1.5 months old and he woke between 12-1230 and that was first feeding so that was my turn and so I fed him and was looking at my phone cause Wings were in PHX. Put him down and went downstairs to watch the end of game 4 to watch the Wings sweep. Worked out great. lol Sure I missed the first 2.75 periods but got what it counted.

Sucks Wings moved to the East and then go on no long playoff runs. The last series they won was playing a Pacific Timezone team. One day maybe I can enjoy it.

Do the NBA and MLB have early round west coast games starting at 10 PM eastern?

I haven't paid that close of attention but I've always though that their games start early locally so they can be on in prime time in the east.

I've always thought the NHL is doing itself a disservice but not staggering the east and west coast games so every game can be on in eastern prime time; especially with McDavid being on the Oilers.

That would probably be tough in the first round, but my point remains the same that a game 7 with McDavid shouldn't be starting at 10 PM eastern.

EDIT: Apparently the NBA had first round games starting at 10 PM eastern

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Well since we're posting our favorite vids of Crosby here are two of my favs:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUujhxH9Ams (sorry Tim :hug)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGT13Dyh1vI

And, I only posted the bleacherreport because it was the first link that popped up for Fleury's "Baby stuff" quote.

In all honesty I was just joking about Lundqvist. On the list of douchers in the NHL he is way down on the list.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

:thumbsup

I hear you and fair enough :lol. I actually think Crosby has not lived up to that reputation for a a few years either. Like I said, I have defended him this series.

My posts are more about pointing out that when comparing Hank and Crosby as being Divas in the NHL, Hanks name is never mentioned where as Crosby's has historically always been in the mix.

Simply googling "biggest divas in the NHL" or "biggest divas in sports" will produce several lists that Crosby found his way onto. Hank's name never shows up there though haha.

Silly argument, but one that came up from a comment I felt was off the mark.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

:thumbsup

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

I would be asleep in about 2min. :lol


My wife goes to bed at 9pm, I wake feed the little scamp at 930 and he is out like a light by 10pm - luckily he doesn't normally wake until 3am/4am - and then its all on the Mrs. for feedings. GREAT for weekend games, not so much for weekdays.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

You can have your opinion and I can have mine.

Tossing the net over during play is worse than whining to any ref imo. Not surprising in the least there are a bunch of videos/stuff written about crosby whining, hes the highest profile player in the NHL.

I wont back down from my POV that Hank likes to draw attention to himself more than any other player in the league.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

You might be right about MLB but easier for the MLB to do it with much fewer playoff teams but you might be. The NHL just can't do it. I get what you're saying but the NHL actually is pretty decent on the scheduling. The NBA overthinks this shit sometimes because of ratings. Ratings = big money since their TV deal is so important. I remember once for the Pistons game 1 of the 2nd round was like Sunday and then game 2 wasn't until Friday because they were trying to get the perfect schedule. Sometimes you just gotta suck it up.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

:lol :thumbsup I remember the days when I could just lay in bed and read for an hour. Now, if I'm laying down, I'm out before I even turn the page.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Me? I'm really enjoy all the Bettman boo-ing.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Ah see mine went to bed around 9:30-10 so first wake up was between 12-1 and then 2nd between 3-4. Which was the wife's wakeup when she was off for maternity leave.
I miss the days of being able to stay up for late games. Hell, in college I would stay up for most of the regular season games on the West Coast for the Wings. One day maybe I'll get back there but kiddo wakes at 6 regularly and we have to leave the house by 7am on weekdays. Get as much rest as possible.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

NBA probably has an easier time too because their games are shorter. A game that starts at even 9 PM eastern would be over 1130-ish assuming no OT.

:lol :lol

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

I mean you are a fan of a rival team, it is totally normal for you to have a biased view of a rival star player. I get that man.

I do think you are confusing diva with celebrity though. If his off the ice actions are what you take issue with, I feel you are more just put off that he embraces the celebrity life New York has to offer him. That is something that maybe Crosby does try to avoid.

It does not make Hank a diva for living up that part of his life though. If he stopped showing up to games or refused to talk to some media members (because they were honest about him) like Matt Harvey does, that would make him a diva.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Hank just does alot of stuff on ice and off that seems excessive to me. I would think the same thing no matter what team is he is on. His interviews he kind of seems like an asshole, and im sure alot of that is because he is emotional and lets it show, which is fine. But im being 100% honest when I say I cant think of another player that does it as much as him. You could say Subban off the ice but there isnt nearly as much on ice antics with him, in my opinion. And I dont really care who you are or the situation, throwing teammates under the bus is always a bad look, he's the only guy in hockey today that I can think of who has done that off the top of my head.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

I wish I looked as good as him in a suit.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

I 100% don't believe you that you would think the same thing about him if he was on the Penguins all these years. Of course you would think those things about him if he were on any team other than Pittsburgh.

I say that as proof by the second bold part and you not naming or even thinking Crosby would or even could be in that conversation historically.

You are just a fan man. Nothing wrong with that. Most fans can only see things through biased eyes. I am guilty of that too sometimes.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

I wish I looked as good as him, period :lol

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

What does Sid do off the ice? When does he flop on the ice?

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Very true.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Again, these are different arguments :lol. Your first post talks about both on and off, and then you come back with just off ice stuff.

But here is a classy Sid interview where he is doing exactly what you say you dislike about Hank.

This was also posted above...

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

I have no idea what Lundqvist does off of the ice and really don't care because he's not a Penguin and he's a long way from Pittsburgh.

But, I will say that I'm on record in the NFL thread saying that Antonio Brown is an effing clown for the way he acts around these parts.

Disclaimer: not comparing Lunqvist to AB at all because I have no idea what Lundqvist does off of the ice.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

:thumbsup

Missed this, both funny posts :lol

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Yeah, I mean, for the most part, I don't pay attention to Sid off the ice in Pittsburgh either. I am in NY and our media does not really care what Crosby is doing in Pittsburgh.....they have enough trouble caring about hockey at all.

I have been by his house though. My Fiancee's uncle lived on the same street as him.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Talking about a rivalry.. not really anything that weird about those comments. If thats the worst thing youve got on sid besides the ref whining then its not a strong argument.

This argument is going nowhere. My opinion isnt going to change. I dont like Hank, and thats that. Its fine we dont agree.

Im just tense today, for good reason :lol

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Agreed on AB. I dont have black and gold blinders on to where I cant see someone being a jerk.


Heres a couple good on ice examples why I dont like hank fwiw:

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

You should be :lol

Also, most of those videos are nothing different from any other team. The one with Crosby getting the water to the face was Hank getting payback for a Crosby cheap shot on him in an earlier game. One of the links I posted above has that cheap shot.

Overall I agree that this argument is going no where though.

For me bottom line: Crosby has the reputation, not Hank. That said, Crosby has the Cups, not Hank. So you win some you lose some. I would trade for the Cups though.

For you: Time to refocus on the game you have tonight. Game 7's don't get any bigger!
