Dude when it comes to the Canucks, it could be a team of Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot, Augusto Pinochet, Josef Stalin and Kim Jong Il and if one of them scores against the Canucks you take it.

It's been very noticeable already how much more inter conference play there is with every team playing eachother at least twice. Really glad the NHL made the changes they did.

I have literally never seen/heard Gene Principe once in my life but I always hear awful things about him. What's the deal?
He is the host of the Oilers broadcasts on Sportsnet and everything he says is a stupid pun. Tonight, he even had props during his intro.

Yeah, they went from 18 inter-conference games to 32 for the Western Conference teams and 28 for the East. I was surprised looking at the Flames' schedule that they don't make their trip to Ontario and Florida until the end of March.

He has the sense of humour of a grandfather from the 1920's. He uses puns like they're going out of style. As a broadcaster he's also a bit of a coward, a huge suck up to the Oilers. I get a homer slant for a home team broadcast but Gene is just over the top.
Here is his opening script to start the broadcast to tonights game.
Rexall is a place where the show will go on this season, there was no puck luck in the preseason. Sam-I-Am.. not going to play with a Jaw dropping reaction because they already Nuge they were in trouble down the middle with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins shoulder trouble. It was a Hall of a predicament but in stepped Taylor, he was centre in helping out the hockey club. A team Eakins for a new leader, they didn't dilly-Dallas when deciding on the next coach of the Edmonton Oilers and captain.
Then of course, in true Oiler style in ends with Gene waxing poetic about the Oilers of old with a shot of Messier lifting the cup over his head.
Just embarrassing all round.

Watch the replay of that Devils goal. 3 on 2 rush, watch the Oilers forwards coast back making zero effort to support their D, especially Nugent-Hopkins was the funniest. He didn't even try.
