Sorry to derail your discussion but I'm interested in participating in this fantasy hockey league thing, but I noticed F13 league to be full.
Are you guys still active and if so any chance for a spot opening or I better go public league?

Well it's pretty far into the season, so I don't know if any leagues are still open at this point. You might be able to find people who do fantasy playoffs or something like that, but for our league you'll probably have to wait until next year.

Yeah, they missed calls all over the place, including a few high sticks.

I watched Pratt drone on about how fantastic this was. I wonder how he'd have liked it if it was Luongo getting hit by a goon. Well, actually I don't wonder. Also - Did anyone else watch that Pens/Flames game on TSN? Wow. Awesome. And Matt Cooke sucks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR10dXgy5AY |

I have loathed Matt Cooke forever, especially when he was on the Canucks. Good to see him embarrass himself on a bigger stage now. I wonder how he'd have liked it if it was Luongo getting hit by a goon. I would almost welcome it. Anything to convince Luongo to stay in his fucking crease would do wonders for his GAA. He is a TERRIBLE puck handler, and his diving poke check attempts have cost him at least 2 goals this week alone. |

Chicago had 6 guys in the box at one point. Even Kyle Wellwood got a penalty, which is seriously rare. And one of the Sedin sisters roughed someone! |

As to the goalie bit, it is a moot point as Luongo has never made it all the way to the side boards to play a puck. I'm all for being able to contact a goalie that is playing the puck that far out of the crease, though I do agree with Hortichuck getting a penalty in this case, as it was basically a charge.
The end of that Chicago game was beautiful - been a while since I've seen a four minute 5 on 3.

He had one earlier in the season (high sticking)- his first in nearly three years. That was a good call. This one was the work of a referee trying to even things up a bit. It was a phantom. I was watching the Chicago broadcast and both of their announcers agreed that it was a terrible call.

Wow, there's a clip going around of the Boston broadcast of the Bruins/Flyers game. Specifically, its of Lucic boarding Randy Jones, and the Bruins announcer LAUGHING at the fans for howling for a boarding call.
Apparently, they're still pretty sore about Jones' ACCIDENTAL hit on Beregeron.
Last Season.
Trust me, I'm not fan of Randy Jones. At all; I wish we could have traded him away. BUT, he's a clean, stand-up guy. An announcer LAUGHING at a potentially dangerous hit is just disgusting. There's no way a guy like the Flyers' play-by-play guy Jim Jackson would EVER react like that. Hell, even fans at a PHL game show actual concern for a guy if he doesn't get up after cheering for a big hit.

I don't know.
I love hockey, but more and more you just sort of realize what a joke the NHL is.
From the referees to the broadcasts, the clownshoes way that so many organizations are run.. even the league itself. Versus, really?
They're lucky I like the actual GAME so much. Because everything else they do is incredibly fucking stupid.

The best thing the league could do for broadcasts would be to severely limit the number of Americans on the broadcast team. There are some terrible Canadians too (Terry Crisp and Bernie Federko leap instantly to mind), but I would wager that the ratio of good to bad favors Canadians in a big way.

Uh, there's some awful Canadian broadcasters — here in Phoenix, while I like Darren Pang, he's beyond annoying on the broadcasts — if I hear "Holy Jumpin'" one more time, why I'm gonna… …though many like Dave Strader (U.S.) while others have not forgiven the Coyotes for unceremoniously dumping longtime Jets/Coyotes voice Curt Keilback — Keilback might have last laugh when Coyotes return to Manitoba next season. Though Bettman was in town last week to assure the Valley masses that all will be OK for hockey in the desert… Last place finish in fantasy league for me, too many guys injured and lack of motivation on my part without money stakes (like all the other fantasy/roto leagues I participate in…)… And I hate this part of the season — my internal "hockey clock" says playoffs should begin April 1… …season is way too long… …though I'll perk up once Stanley Cup playoffs begin — first two rounds are the best hockey, even better than the subsequent conference championship series and finals where the teams then just emerge from the marathon (to me, equivalent is pro football teams playing 50+ games in a season…)… …it's ridiculous… |

Truth. PHL, IMHO, actually has one of the better play-by-play guys, though it's really fucking annoying that after every goal he has to throw in "scores for a case of Tastey Kakes!" to plug for that company making a donation to charity whenever the Flyers score. I believe he is, at the very least, fair. |

I'll say this in defense of the NHL's refs: There is not one league in any sport in the world where people say "Hey, our officials are really top notch. They never miss calls and they always get it right." Everywhere you go, there are essays being written over 'the sad state of officiating'. In hockey, for all their faults, I will take an NHL ref over any other. In the course of 82 games, it evens out. Announcers? Well the local broadcasts are a real mixed bag. They're all homers to some degree and there's nothing wrong with that, you are preaching to the choir after all; but yeah there are some really embarrassing ones. I'll nominate Dave Mishkin out of Tampa Bay for 'Most Embarassing': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Z45n6Ttvog |

To be fair, Mishkin is the radio guy, not their color guy.
Rick Peckem is great. I think any team in the league would love to have him announcing.

By the way, the worst TV guy in hockey was the original Thrashers guy. His name escapes me at the moment, but I JUST listened to an interview with him from several years ago. The guy... man, honestly. An absolute joke of a human being for starters. Talking about what a bunch of FAGS everyone that fired him was, about drinking all night and drinking in the booth, having puke in his hair on the team bus.. etc. But the funniest part of the whole thing was when they played a clip of him announcing a game, and his reaction was "Yeah, that was pretty fuckin good. I was good. But that was like in the preseason or something. By the end of the season I had really picked up on it. Power plays and all of the ... play in the corners and... being shorthanded and shit. I was really catching on."
I was like
