![]() I have Center Ice once again, so I got Saturday’s game, and I found it to be a sloppy, Special Teams affair. My point being, the new season started and I bet if you asked 100 people, I’d say maybe 5 would know the season is underway. They pop up so often around here no one notices anymore. ![]() One day there was no Dunkin Donuts, the next, there was. The NHL regular season got underway with all the fanfare of a new Dunkin Donuts opening in Massachusetts. This week will be a little different because there aren’t any late games, but MOL is watching Desperate Housewives, so I pretty much have nothing better to do anyway. I’m thinking it can be some odds and ends stuff we on staff may have missed, or just some things on my mind. ![]() I think it’d be cool if Sunday evening before the late games start, I can do a Goonblog weekly wrap up. I’ll be here enjoying my soup and a few Pink Lemonades.stupid no drinking. Both teams’ websites, here, and here, are hyping the bad blood. If they don’t settle this like men right away, and I am a Flyer, I am running Saku Koivu and Alexi Kovalev all night. If I am the Flyers coach, I start Steve Downie, and if I am Montreal’s coach, Kostopoulos has to do his dirty work and have a go right off the hop tonight. It’s all tied up 1-1, and TK’s cheap shot has blood boiling. I think we may see that tonight in the City of Brotherly Love. I guess if you made me pick who I want to win, I’d say Philadelphia, but honestly, I just want to see some rough old time playoff hockey. As a lifelong Bruins fan both has been a thorn in my side at one point or another. I do not like either of these teams at all. Tom Kostopoulos is a bitch, and threw a sucker punch at a Flyer the other night after the oft suspended team scored. The Habs series has a real old time hockey feel going to it, for a couple of reasons.ġ. Alas, I have given up the sauce, and that’s what brings me to tonight’s game. In past times when un-supervised, I would have been at the Gin Mill until it was time to report home and pretend I wasn’t holed up drinking for about 4 hours. Usually, it’s a little bland, but I doctored it with some salt, pepper, and some red pepper flakes. MOL is at the germ factory, and I am at home enjoying my leftover chicken noodle soup from the Chang An in Concord. Live from Goonblog HQ in Acton, MA! It’s the Canadiens and Flyers! Game three should be a dandy. Obviously, the NHL will never bring fighting to the All-Star weekend, but they can incorporate aspects of it. Have you ever seen, or are you at least familiar with, the concept of an NHL hockey fight? Almost everyone is standing and cheering loudly as they are all, and I quote Maximus here, “ Entertained”. “ We get it, Killer, but what the hell do you suggest“? Funny you should ask…. The new ideas this year, however, failed miserably. Who doesn’t like something new? New bike, car, golf clubs or Bauer twig – they’re all welcome. ![]() Did you see the tweet from Zegras’ during Friday’s debauchery? When your own players are calling things out you know there is a major problem. Honda minions, ABC, Disney or the World Wide Leader ESPN? Who the fuck knows, but heads have to roll. Was this a “Partner” involved change, i.e. If they had, these stupid ideas would have been shot down in the first boardroom they were brought up in. I don’t blame them, but the cascade of boos has to be heard by the league over what they put out as a product and keep fiddling with.Ĭlearly, no one from the NHL Marketing Team has ever played the game. The NHL, like many other businesses, are in it for one thing, and one thing only: making as much money as humanly possible. This is what happens when you (NHL) allow the almighty dollar to dictate how things run and get done. If not, I’m not watching going forward and I hope everyone else joins in boycotting this friggin’ fiasco. Give me 5×5 with the best players in the World showcasing their talents, or cancel the game. Shame on you for not having your finger on the pulse on the folks on the other side of the TV screen. ![]()
