NHL Weekly Thoughts [1/28-2/3]

[ssags11]

I have seen Patrice Bergeron get mad maybe twice in his career. Once against Josh Gorges and during the Cup run when Burrows bit his fingers. Bergeron lost his shit last night at the end of the game. Seems Jeff Skinner did his patented slewfoot that sent Bergeron hard to the ice.

Dominant win last night for the Oil. Think shots on goal in the first was like 15-4 and Eberle's goal was sick. There were a lot of turnovers trying to break out of the zone that could bite us against better teams, so hopefully they cut those out, but all in all a very good performance

Footage of the Eberle goal or it didn't happen?

Jeff Skinner didn't do anything except try to get a hooking call called. There are no hearings set for today and the general consesus is that skinner just fell down and bergeron got caught for the ride.

Classic Jack though here once again.

What an absolute clown

"SKINNER ... PICKED A FIGHT ... WITH BERGERON"

"I have no idea how that started."

Are you blind? Slow it down. You can see Skinner, put his elbow right into Bergeron's upper body while taking his left leg out at the same time. Skinner has a reputation for slew footing. So ask yourself, who do you believe?

[ssags11]

Edwards?

At least the guy gets excited for the opposing teams goals as he does when the Bruins score. The guy is mental (I underatand), he gets overly excited but he is very knowledgeable, always credits the other team if they deserves it, calls out Marchand for diving, gushes over the other team's superstars all while saying some of the stupidest comments that are entertaining.

Now if he would stop taking is uber happy happy pills, he might not annoy Leaf fans so much. You know Leaf fans that are watching the hometown broadcasts of the Bruins.

Ugh tough loss for the Caps. Went up 2-0..Gave up 2 goals in the 3rd including the game winner on a power play with 2 minutes left

Skinner having a "reputation" is a laughable statement.

I believe what I see in the video, the nhl not persuing it and most NHL fans general consesus that it wasn't a slew foot. Bruins fans are the only ones trying to get something out of it when there is basically nothing to see here.

Its pretty well known the guy is a nut job and frankly a bad broadcaster. He rarely credits anyone and its pretty obvious he's a fan. He's not on Mickey Redmons level of homerism but if he keeps it up he'll be there soon.

First time I have watched it. Not a slew foot. Holding the guys arm and bringing him down with you, yes. But not a slew foot.

another W for the good guys

Sharks played like shit, though. They looked better in the 3rd than in the first 2 but they have to realize that playing pretty doesn't always work. The Ducks forecheck was all over them and the Sharks kept trying to make pretty passes instead of dump, chase, grind.

That is my biggest concern every season. Everyone knows they have all the talent in the world, playoff hockey comes down to grinding it out and not relying on the power play or pretty goals.

But Mickey Redmond is complemented nicely by Ken Daniels.
