Pens vs. Craps GDT - Feb, 18, 2007

Pierre is an idiot. He keeps saying the Pens are matching lines, then he asks Therrien about it and Therrien says no he doesn't worry about that because it disrupts the momentum. Then he keeps saying it, and Olcyk calls him out on it. And what does Pierre do?

He not only keeps talking about it, but he gives Eddie O a face wash with his ("with all due respect") comment about Gordon being taught be different coaches teams actually covet.

You see, Clement has a bassy purring voice, Brett Hull sounds like he's struggling to make audible words. Perhaps he has spasmodic dysphonia.

What's up with Clement giving the golf update? Who cares about some DUMB golf event this is HOCKEY dude and your a hockey person not golf. I know it probably has something to do with the national network but still.

NBC was airing golf and sent it over to GOLF channel when hockey started. it makes sense.

Yea, NBC!

I know you were covering the golf event before the hockey game and I'm sure they have fans who were watching it but didn't get to watch the end due to the contractual obligation you have with the NHL but I DON'T LIKE GOLF SO DON'T EVER MENTION IT EVER AGAIN...EVEN DURING THE PERIOD INTERMISSION.

And the event was on prior to the hockey game. NBC cut to the hockey game with the golf event still going on.

Did all of the hockey xenophobes come out of the wood work and post today? Yeesh!

Edzo is annoying the living hell out of me so far... apparently he is too blind to recognize holding and interference when he sees it. Maybe he should become a ref.

I'm also pretty sure he described a power play that had just funneled the play through Malkin on the right wing as having "worked the left side." Failure to distinguish right from left WOULD explain last season somewhat...

He annoys me a lot less now that he's no longer coaching the Pens.

1) My comment was chalk full of sarcasm.

2) I happen to enjoy playing golf although I'm no good at it. If there is nothing else better on television, I'll watch golf. I personally think the Ryder Cup is one of the more exciting events in sports.

I would take a preseason hockey game over a championship golfing event though.

if i was one of those little kids on the ice in the background (during 1st intermission) i would have slashed Brett Hull in the neck, and as he fell to the ice , i would kick him in the face with my skate.

Ti-bo looked pretty sharp in that period especially after such a long layoff.
Pens should probably be up 2-1 right now. We'll see if they can maintain their intensity for the rest of the game. The Caps certainly came to play as evidence by their physical play so far.

It probably shouldn't have, but the image of a kid kicking Brett Hull in the face with a hockey skate made me laugh.

Mark Eaton with a chance to nail Matt Bradley and he holds him instead..

Brode · Post by **Brode** » Sun Feb 18, 2007 4:35 pm

Mark Eaton is one of my favorites, but that was just the first time I've ever seen his face. I was like "Who the hell is that, Scuderi?"
