Ongoing NHL Thread Part IV - A New Hope

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Translation: That would be as stupid as Boston trading Ray Bourque.

I'd trade Bracco for him. Maybe.

I am still pissed at NBC for rarely showing the full commercial showing the greatest Leaf of all time.



Last time they did, I stopped it, and rewound it about 10 times until my wife said "who is that old guy?" and I said "the only Toronto Maple Leaf player still alive who won a Cup".

 

[Comeds]

Are you ready for some Henry? Because he's gonna actually say/do something pretty soon!

I hear he is good at math. Henry? Yeah, who knew? Paige I can understand. But Henry?

I'm still hoping for an updated version of this commercial where Messier does the following:

I'm so attached to Henry now. Math genius totally misunderstood and underestimated by a family that doesn't really know how to encourage that type of thing and better understands their emotional and dramatic daughter? Don't worry Henry, I get it. Just keep doing you and kicking ass. They'll come around some day.

He also has a touching moment with Mail Robot. It's the highlight of the season.

When I left the show behind a few seasons ago they were about to try and get the daughter on Team Soviet.

Guess they rolled with that one huh?

Do you think that they told Gretz and Yzerman to say "zed" or do they still use it?

I suppose it's not the same as something like "soda" and "pop" where it's a word you might say semi-frequently. We're rarely called on to spell things in our day-to-day, and if we are they're probably not words that contain "Z" anyway.

I highly recommend picking it back up. It's a slow burn, but you know this already. It's so worth it though.

I think they told them to use it, I mean, I interchange the use of 'zed' and 'zee', but 'zee' definitely rolls off the tongue easier (I consciously have to think to use 'zed').

Looks like they're remaining patient with Arizona. Got to think that patience will run out soon. Lots of cities out there that could take a NHL team and make it work.

I'm the exact opposite - I struggle to say 'zee'. Unless I'm speaking in a faux German accent. Which I do often, because it's hilarious.

Interesting idea I saw out yonder re: Ovie - Anaheim? Need to move bodies, Caps are probably losing Orlov and Alzner, Ducks have D to deal, are as all-in as can be at this point...

Its really good and I highly recommend it. For some reason I am never really excited about watching it and we always end up falling behind. Then when we do finish other things and catch up on The Americans I wonder why we waited.

Are there any more underage girls dancing to Yazoo songs?

For some people I suspect it's actually better to watch it that way. The slow burn can be frustrating sometimes, and binging rolls it all together so you're not waiting a month or more for the payoff on something. I can't find out if I'd like it more doing it that way though because it's gotten to me in such a way that I can't miss it when it's on. I've cut into multiple playoff games this year to watch it.

Kimmy is still around. I don't know if she's gonna dance again, but I've gotta think she's gonna matter at some point. She might be the slowest burn on the entire show.

"Dyatkovo" is the tearjerker episode this season. Tore me apart.

Would love to have this guy back behind the bench again at some point.

 

[puckhead]

Would love to have this guy back On the blue line again at some point.

Now, I'm no world class athlete (or am I?) but what do you get out of kicking the crap out of lesser competition? I understand love of your country and all that nonsense but seriously? It's like me celebrating after defeating my 3 year old nephew in Connect 4. But, don't let me stop you Russian players, you show South Korea and Canada's F team how badass you are.
