LEAVE 20 CENT ALONE!! LEAVE HIM ALONE

 

[Aldaron]

Pominville / Benn / Seguin / Couture last 4 picks in draft...

Couture was last picked.

Honestly a bit surprised there...I'd definitely make Pominville the last pick :P

I love Perry and Kane (too bad I hate them as well). The breakaway challenge was epic.

 

[Eraddd]

Breakaway challenge is the best. Stamkos, and Letang with sick goals and Lundqvist stonewalling everyone

 

[CaptainKishimoto]

After hearing Carey Price mic'd up, I'm convinced we need more players doing it during the events (maybe even have Biznasty be a guest commentator).

 

[jrrrrrrr]

TIM THOMAS STONING THE ALL STAR TEAM

no hat trick for you Alfie

 

[Gaborik]

I feel uhhh pretty gud about my uhhh play uhhh tonight. Yea, lots score my goals to win zee game because I speed player. When you're in a zone everything goes your way. MVP MVP MVP

 

[DM]

mic-ing the players during the game was the best thing ever, so funny

 

[Carl]

yeah lundqvist and price were especially amusing. the only boring one was probably couture.

 

[Eraddd]

Hartnell's commentary was solid.

ASG was solid all around imo.

 

[jrrrrrrr]

Holy shit, Seidenberg just scored from 6 inches behind the red line on a rope

3 unanswered in 7 minutes in the 3rd, and it could easily be 4 or 5. this team is never out of the game i love it

On a side note, is there any announcer in any sport better than Jack Edwards on NESN?

 

[CaptainKishimoto]

Everyone and anyone.

[popemobile]

jack edwards is a terrible announcer

one of the biggest homers in the league

*insert comment about hometeam announcer here*

jeanneret is pretty annoying imo

 

[Chill Murray]

I can objectively say that Howie Rose is decent, but not the greatest by any stretch of the imagination. My respect did go up for him following this, however:

"Ference is going to rip his head off here"

Really, that's completely pathetic. This makes me appreciate how classy the Montreal announcers are. Never in a hundred years will you hear them say anything of the sort.

Did they get those guys at a local bar?

 

[popemobile]

yeah that is pretty ridiculous. You could easily make an argument for him being top 25 in the league, regardless of age. Top 10 under 25 y/o is a no-brainer.

 

[Eraddd]

Christ it's ESPN. They don't give a fuck about hockey, who gives a fuck what they think?

And lol Edwards. Pretty sure the consensus is that he's the biggest homer?

Edit: Canucks have given up 7 odd man rushes in the 2nd. Chicago hasn't been able to convert on one of them. Dunno who's worse.

rofl I can't believe I just read that

anyway wow what a night of hockey after the break. tons of incredible games tonight

 

[DM]

lol pope, great job on those 2 videos, that guy is terrible

I don't mind that people dislike Jeanneret, he's an acquired taste, but at least he isn't Jack Edwards, sweet jesus

 

[Wikey]

I have thrown the words, "worst announcer in sports" around too lightly. popemobile has shown me the error of my ways.

 

[Eraddd]

LOL Queninville just went fucking crazy

And we win. woot.

 

[pie cream]

can't belive leafs lost...
