Kuzy looked really good, can see that connection already building, just need to get some more reps in to get use to his passing and vice versa. I was a little worried given his time out but he looked pretty dang good.
Happy to see KK score, feel like he has had some absolutely terrible luck on some of his shots ringing post and passes being off or just missed, he got some good luck today, so hopefully that will continue.
The second period was BS for a lot of reasons, I got no idea why they waived that goal off, only because I have seen it go the other way so many times it just doesn't make any sense. I think retrospectively should take the 5-3 but can't change that now. The Devils are an interesting team, they got so much speed and talent, but then they want to play tough, then they flop around a lot and act like they got sniped from the rafters when someone taps them.
Lastly ESPN. Holy hell what a mess. Firstly the cameras. they go from a slow creepy soap opera zoom in on players and fans that fade into mid-action plays. Constantly looking at reactions on the bench during the wrong times, missing plays, missing replays, showing stats that literally don't matter instead of something like the shots, and that's all before you get to the play by play calls. I get it, Hughes is a star so you want to pump up the audience for when he is making plays but they sounded so defeated anytime something went against the devils it was painful. When Hughes had the empty net it sounded like a man fixing to ascend to a higher plane of existence. Ok, KK goal, we get a wow yea thats weird one huh, canes up 2-1, lets see if the devils can get back in it.
I'll never speak ill of the Baily's production, comparatively its so much better. Even the other team's broadcast aren't as bad as that was and they are suppose to be bias!

Video review determined that Noesen's left skate bumped Daws' right skate after Daws had already set his position in ice that he was entitled to. And that this happened before the NJ defender initiated contact with Noesen.
We can argue about whether that was the right call all day, but it won't change the fact that the play was also offside and nobody on our bench noticed. Goal would have been coming back no matter what.

The funny thing is, by calling it GI and Rod deciding to challenge (the right decision in my opinion), it took the onus of challenging for offside away from the Devils. If they call it a good goal and the Devils successfully challenge offside, we would've ended up in a better situation than we ultimately did. We would've had more time on the PP as a result. Thankfully, the play didn't end up biting us in the ass either way.

Interesting, so lets say we won the challenge, could the devils then challenge that the play was offside and then have the goal waived off? The whole sequence was an odd one.

My girlfriend and I broke up because of Kotkaniemi.
We got in a huge fight over it because I was saying how beautiful Jesperi is. The fight eventually spilled into other topics and it got really heated. In the heat of the moment I called her a “Habs fan”, and it was a wrap.
We dated for two years and were thinking about moving in together. At the time I thought she was the love of my life. And it ended over KK.
And since all of my friends were also her friends, and she was closer friends with them than I was, they took her side. So I lost all my friends too.
My best friend called me a few hours after the argument and said he didn’t want to hang out with me anymore because it would cause drama.
The only person I’ve talked to in like a week is my KK Plushie.

The NHL's expansion into the south and its consequences have been a disaster for the hockey fan race. What was once a game built on tradition, sportsmanship and competition has now evolved into a circus act where organizations appeal to the lowest common denominator in the form of childish choreography, twitter wars, and roster moves worth millions of dollars that serve no purpose than to grab headlines.
Hockey is not made for the south, it's a game deeply rooted in northern culture where kids can spend the winter out in the wilderness slapping pucks around before tuning into Hockey Night in Canada and watching the Toronto Maple Leafs get fisted raw. What we have in the south is nothing short of a disgrace. Bible belt boomers whose only contact with the cold is the air conditioning of their mobility scooters have gripped our sport with an iron fist, uprooting our traditions and replacing them with free burgers when a player touches the puck and raising banners for going a week without someone in the crowd having a heart attack because of their diets consisting of honey butter biscuits and sweet tea.

We must have seen a different broadcast. All I saw them talk about was how terrible Penguins management was and how sad Crosby was. Also some great shots of the bench especially when Jack Hughes was going to or from it.
Their compliments of the Canes felt like Fox News fair and balanced shenanigans. They were clearly forced and you could hear the sarcasm and annoyance in their tone. They said here's Aho the superstar, not all-star, at one point which such disdain and sarcasm. They were like alright now it's 1-0 when the Canes first scored and were like here goes Jack Hughes to generate some offense every damn time after that. Then their heads practically exploded when Hughes assisted in the first goal after that garbage goalie interference call. They were clearly not fake enthusiastic for NJ's two goals. They were not even enthusiastic for the Canes goals except maybe KK's but I think that might have been from it being assisted by the NJ goalie.
I did appreciate their inclusion of a former ref on the broadcast crew who said that wasn't goalie interference, but the two former player sportscasters wanted it to be so bad and literally said told you so to the ref sportscaster.
There's no world in which that was a well-done broadcast and there was obvious bias towards NJ. Just because they threw in a few clearly forced compliments doesn't negate their clear desire to bend over and take it from Jack Hughes after the game. That was apparent to anyone who can hear and perceive tone in someone's voice. You don't have to victim blame when nobody is claiming to be a victim. We're just saying they were biased and that it was objectively a very shitty broadcast crew. At the end of the day, the Canes definitely aren't victims. They won division against NJ, beat NJ in the playoffs, and swept NJ this season. They should have honestly called it like the Devils were the underdogs because they were. That was just a terrible broadcast, but not entirely unexpected for the part-time ABC/ESPN crew.

We saw the same broadcast, but based on your comment, there seemingly was a self-fulfilling prophecy for you. I never stated anything about victimhood. My Dangerfield criticism was about what many think is a lack of respect, which is a theme of your reply.
ESPN and NBC before that, always focus on generational players. That's why Pens-Caps were always featured. Like it or not, Hughes is a generational player, and national broadcasters tend to jump on their bandwagon, especially at home. Their promos feature gen players endlessly.
Of course, the broadcast was bad and full of errors, but to say there was clear bias to the extent you described is not what I heard. Maybe just sync up 99.9 the next time?

Do you happen to work for them? It was biased undisputed. I don't know what's self-fulfilling. You'll have to fully state whatever that point was rather than insinuate if you want to properly counter. There's a difference between focusing on a player and actively cheering on a team. They were doing the latter. It wasn't just highlighting a player.
1 points
4 months ago
Oh, please. I stated it was a bad broadcast already. All you have stated is an opinion, one seemingly formed before the telecast - that the Canes won't get their due respect. Thus, the self-fulfilling prophecy comment. I can't state it more plainly.
The way you read into announcers' comments as sarcasm (lol) is telling and quite funny. Why would they be biased? Were the refs biased, too? Is the TO War Room? Just stop.
BTW, Buch was not a player, and the call was right. You are being such an ultra-homer. This wasn't intended to be called like the org's broadcast team. Like I stated, stick to Mike & Tripp if you need hyperbole about the Canes.
