if you think about it ovi breaking his leg and missing twenty games was the universe’s plan to make sure locker had time to recover from his surgery and get back in the booth

[larsnicklas]

it is actually so funny like okay fine i get the overt bias on the sn broadcast towards the canadian team like yeah makes sense no objections from me !! but the way the tnt broadcast also sounds subdued when the caps do anything you just have to laugh

[larsnicklas]

heh

[larsnicklas]

every shot of the inferior connor mc rolling his eyes when his team can’t play defense to save their life hits like crack. i’m sorry he’s just more compelling narratively when he’s suffering that’s why they call him mcj.esus

ontologically evil night of hockey EXCEPT in ontario. thank you claude g.iroux

[larsnicklas]

also i actually think goalie chants are fine in principle BUT i do think it's embarrassing to do them when you're an O.ILERS fan like...... cmon now

[larsnicklas]

unfortunately. very leafsian to be the only team in the east unable to close out in 5 despite actually getting out in front 3-0 unlike all the other series

[larsnicklas]

this has an intensely evil aura. hard pressed to imagine a more evil goal

[larsnicklas]

btw. FOR THE RECORD. whenever i say something rude and contemptuous about team c.anada during international play i am NEVERRRR talking about seth j.arvis

[larsnicklas]

everyone to ot like why not i think it could be fun

[larsnicklas]

[larsnicklas]

and a shoutout to connor b.edard for taking that penalty. king you will always be cemented in my heart as the best first overall connor. m.cdavid WHO

[larsnicklas]

and i’m GLAD it was carly on the primary there are TOO many carly haters

[larsnicklas]

sorry i spent too many of my formative years having to listen to every hockey broadcaster and journalist being so far up sidney c.rosby’s ass they saw daylight i simply mute the television when i hear his name like ohhhhh yeah i BET wayne g.retzky sure will extol that man’s virtues AGAIN

[larsnicklas]

also i hate when canadian crowds are happy during international play. like good for them but it boils my blood. chant c.rosby one more time i’ll kill you

[larsnicklas]
