There is a brunette sitting behind the kings bench that might be the prettiest girl I've ever seen

Me no likey that system they put in to put ads and blockers behind the benches etc, lest my tender eyes might get a glipse of a hot chick sitting behind in the seats. It also could be a career breaker for said hot chicks in stands!

Yeah, I got ya tho. I'm not saying it is good, lest I'm called a pervert, but sometimes there were some fun upskirts and hot tit chicks behind the stands etc and, I think, some were going for that. (I think a Baywatch Gal was gotten from a bb game and made millions.)

That is who I was thinking of. On that side, watched the The Grey Cup the other night and a crazy, fun game. I actually think the Canadian football is fun. Big field but fast like Arena.

What was crazy is what, I think, is like their Super Bowl, which was awesome and exciting (and weird cause different field and rules) had less people than a losing (hopefully changing with new hire and $$$) program at a random UT game or other college games we got. With, hopefully changing, worse spectacle and fun. It was a fun game to watch.

Hawks with a second OT winner in a row...those 2 points keep adding up!

akwilly · December 07, 2016, 09:47:03 PM

Hell of a game on. Hell of a job by Doc and Pierre as well

akwilly · December 08, 2016, 07:17:19 PM

It seems that vegas might have to adjust theirGolden Knights name and logo. The patent office refused them a trademark n because of the similarities it has with some little college.

akwilly · December 14, 2016, 07:35:46 PM

Wow Pierre is one hard working man. He did a game yesterday and he is doing a game now. Doc is on fire as well!

akwilly · December 14, 2016, 09:14:59 PM

Alright overtime!!!

albrecht · January 16, 2017, 08:05:17 PM

This Caps/Pens game is ridiculous but fun to watch. Caps dominating and then, boom, Pens in charge and now back and forth.

I should know better by now. But a CRAZY game in any event.

I didn't care who won but I jinxed any shot at a shootout when I texted my buddy and Pitt scored just as I pressed send lol. Hell of a game even without doc doing the call. Pierre did a hell of a job as usual. He is one hard working sob

Ugh, the Cowboys and then this game, back-to-back. I have to say that hockey is the hardest game to call and call well. Fast, foreign names, so many games, etc. Each sport calling has a different skill set, for example, baseball you need to be able to know the history and personal anecdotes etc when things get slow to make it good. Horse racing is like you need to be an auctioneer but still intelligible. But hockey announcers, and especially on radio, have to be very good, fast and color man needs to understand when how to get stories in without disrupting the game calling. Really a skill.

akwilly · January 18, 2017, 09:39:43 PM

Hell of a game Doc is calling!!!

albrecht · January 21, 2017, 09:09:12 PM

A conflicted game for me but the Stars/Caps game is good. Very physical. Some good hits and fights. I guess, as long as no injuries, I'm happy either way?

akwilly · January 25, 2017, 07:33:40 PM

Another great sideline interview by Pierre.

akwilly · February 01, 2017, 07:37:41 PM

It's amazing how much info Pierre just got on his sideline interview. Doc is on fire as well.

A century this year beeatch for NHL! And soon after the former North Stars moved here we win a Stanley Cup! Which was damaged during a "celebration with strippers," and thrown in a pool, that included, apparently the band Pantera. (Who we play after scores.) I've heard rumors also that the Cup was given lap-dances etc. Having said that, I appreciate the Cup should not be demeaned this way again, and hope we, or my other favorite team The Caps, FINALLY, can win it!

If you haven't seen, watch "Slapshot" starring Paul Newman. Sports players say the most realistic sports movies portraying hockey minor-league back in the day. (Not the crazy Hollywood parts, but the grind, bus, drinking, joking, chicks, gambling, meds, etc. Like a Frat Party on cheap wheels but with having to perform and still train.) Baseball similar, in the minor leagues, at least.. So many games, crappy conditions, groupies, drinking, 'stuff' to keep up with the games and pain, and general high-jinx and camaraderie but long-term results, often negative towards health and "family relationships." The "professional" wrestling circuit was similar but even worse because, back when at least, zero over-sight and total meds/booze to deal with it and more personal and weird circuits and management. Some good podcasts about it, including Ric Flairs- not sure he still has it- been awhile.)

Taco Bell · February 02, 2017, 04:24:32 PM

Time for Chicago to get their shit back on track.

Not surprised Iggy came out and said he wants out of Colorado. That team is a dumpster fire.

To be honest I haven't watched much hockey this year. Maybe caught one game with him. Anyway, he did some Pirates exhibition games last year because he'a a huge fan of them and hinted he'd like to do baseball. I'd love for him to call some more Prates games this year.
