Jaimoe Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Ok, it's the AHL, but it's hockey and I'm watching. Spezza, Stajan, Vermette, Perrott, Wellwood, Tellqvist, Colaiavoco, Volchenkov, Emery, Hamil etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 AHL Hockey! Awesome. I'm hoping for an overtime shootout. Do they have the "no red line" rule too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted December 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I'm not sure about the no red line rule, but the blue lines are alot wider, and the goalie has severe puck-handling restrictions: Notice the two lines beside the nets.

ollie Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 How about that Ray Emery? :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted December 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 He sucked, although I like him. It was a good game, save for Joe Bowen's blathering. I don't like Pierre Maguire much either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I don't like Pierre Maguire much either. Thank you! I like the bit he does on our local sports station but as a colour guy he's terrible. His annunciation sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhishyK Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Joe Bowen is my favorite hockey play-by-play announcer of all time. His calls of Leafs playoff games have left me with goosebumps. Jim Robson would be #1 in the retired announcers category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted December 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 My biggest problem with Bowen is that he constantly behaves and talks like he's a member of the Leafs. He makes up nicknames, is usually unprofessional and is way too much of a homer. He brings Harry Neale down to his level when they do games together too. I have friends at TSN who swear that Pierre is a great guy, but I don't care. He drives me nuts on air. However, I do like his weekly hockey spots on radio's The Fan. I think it's a colour thing only. He and Gord Miller doing TV games together is a dreadful viewing experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
