[NHL] MetroHockey Division (and the rest of the league)

[jwhouk]

Boy, am I glad I am not in Nashville right now.

EDIT: Never mind.

Weber tacked on the extra point.

 

[Covar]

I swear Datsyuk isn't human.

 

[jwhouk]

It's not helping the Wings much, though.

 

[HCGLNS]

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!

 

[Sparhawk]

So, what team did you get?

 

[blotsfan]

Can a season get a mercy killing?

 

[Covar]

they tried that last year, it survived the abortion attempt.

 

[jwhouk]

We have beaten THREE different Original 6 teams on THREE separate nights.

We go for four vs. the Rags.





We are gonna get our butts kicked.

 

[HCGLNS]

So, what team did you get?

I don't want to talk about it.

 

[jwhouk]

That's okay, you can send it to me.


...Unless it's the Dead Things. #### them.

 

[blotsfan]

I call dibs if it was Sabres.

 

[Timmus]

Was it Ottawa?

 

[jwhouk]

 

[HCGLNS]

Spoiler: its too horrible

 

[blotsfan]

Whats your team again? I didn't know anyone really hated the Wild.

 

[HCGLNS]

I don't hate them, they are just a real Milhouse of a first glass to get.

 

[jwhouk]

(raises hand)

I do.

With a passion.

And sadly, they're the closest NHL team to my current location.

Well the other shoe finally dropped, been expecting something like this;

http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/2013/11/26/21295696.html

So the company that bought the Leafs now has bought the rights to broadcast all NHL games in Canada.

 

[jwhouk]

I saw that.

So - Rogers SportsNet gets all the NHL rights in Canada, except for the CBC's HNIC game.

My first thought: would Don Cherry think about jumping ship, crossing the border and taking Coach's Corner to NBC Sports Network?

 

[HCGLNS]

No, Rogers now owns the rights to Hockey Night in Canada and will lease it back to the CBC.

 

[Timmus]

If America wants Don Cherry they are welcome to him.

 

[Sparhawk]

No, no, we're happy not having him.

 

[blotsfan]

Other than the stupidly, incoherence, clothing, and xenophobia he's not awful.

 

[Sparhawk]

We get plenty of that without turning on the telly down here. You can keep him. Please, we insist.

 

[HCGLNS]

Oh fuck off.

 

[blotsfan]

Seriously. We need the top pick and shots like that aren't helping.

 

[Timmus]

Seriously. We need the top pick and shots like that aren't helping.

It's all good if they only ever do that against the leafs.

 

[Timmus]

This kid must feel so conflicted...

 

[jwhouk]

I just wanna know how the heck he got it personalized like that...

 

[Timmus]

I like it. It's like one of those misattributed quotation memes.

 

[DarkAudit]

Woo...


Double woo...

 

[Timmus]

Woo...


Double woo...

Nice seats!

 

[blotsfan]

Gee, you look so happy to be there...

 

[Jay]

The guy can't smile.
