Bob Cole still has some mojo.  Nobody, but nobody, sounds better in "excited" mode.

Andersen is not worried, Don.

Matthews looks tired. Should sit him next game.

Seems like I make a comment and there's got to be a smart as reply. So I guess you make a smart play grab an assist and everything is normal. Just made a suggestion. He hasn't been all over the puck as he has been. If you think so that's fine you don't have be a smart ass.

I like how he'll abandon any sequence or train of thought to immediately get to the word that best exemplifies what you're seeing in that exact moment. THE SHOT! OH HE'S IN! REBOUND! 'NOTHER SHOT! RIGHT IN! etc. Really adds to the experience.

My fav - HERE THEY COME! ALL OF THEM!!!!

20-13-8 in a spot and we are rolling. Great win and back-to-back efforts after a long break. Props to players and the coaching staff.

I actually do a really good Bob Cole: "STICKS ARE GOING... GLOVES ARE FLYING... AND BOY... WE'RE GONNA HAVE... A BIT OF A DONNY-BROOK."

In general I agree. He's fine enough calling games. I just think he's sort of a corporate focus group version of a hockey announcer.

Yeah. That's probably an accurate way to describe him - and, also probably what's safest for a national broadcast. He may not bring a ton of people in, but he's not making people tune out, either.

Again, all true. I suppose my issue with him then is really just that I think calling the 7 pm game for HNIC should be where you get the best at it. Admittedly I'm a fierce Bob Cole partisan.

'Fierce Bob Cole Partisan' would be a t-shirt I'd wear 8)

I missed these two games so I'm getting caught up.

They call him Matts. MATS.

I thought Komarov played a great game last night, even though he was kept off the score sheet. 

 

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Martin and Sosh both pulled their Hanson brothers move again last night and gave Dion a good ride.

 

[Highlander]

Darn I was hoping to see what we had in McBackup. Wonder why it's Sparks instead of Bibeau?

Supposedly the reason the trade was made was to keep Bibeau in the minors, out of the prying eyes of Las Vegas expansion. Its thought that Las Vegas will draft a plethora of Goalies and they don't want Bibe
au to go

They're only permitted to select three goalies in the draft.

Not a plethora then?

For those that mocked me I provide the evidence :

"There is a feeling the Knights might draft a lot of goalies, and try to peddle them back for better prospects than what will be available. They must take three (plus nine defenceman and 14 forwards). But there are four open spots, so the Knights can take as many as seven goalies".
