I would say the Avs are my other favourite team. They were my team growing up and I try to catch their games whenever I can (I feel less conflicted cheering for them now that they are out of the Flames' division).

I try and never watch the Avs' broadcast. It's bad.

Haha! I've only listened a couple of times over the last few years, but from what i've heard of them, they are easily the worst. Just awful.

I didn't even know an entire broadcast could be this bad. Every single play the Avs make is some miraculous spectacle.

I watched the Avs make a run-of-the-mill backhand pass, and the reaction, to a T, was the play-by-play guy laughing with delight, unable to control his almost hysterical excitement, commenting on "a BRILLIANT! pass".
Seriously, the most unnoticeable pass, this is incredible.

Congratulations to the oilers, who are the first team to 30 GA. It only took them 15 days from when the season started! At this pace they are shooting for 374 goals! The 80's are truly back in Edmonton.

By the by, the Stars have moved Sequin back to the middle after the Bruins had him playing mostly the wing... he's looked great. 7 points in 5 games now, looking every bit the first line centre he was going to be when drafted.

The speed Duchene showed as he started in the neutral zone was off the charts.

Mackinnon, Duchene, Landeskog, O'Reilly. The Avs are spoiled beyond belief.

A few examples of Duchene's speed from games earlier this month.




And other one of Duchene motoring passed Alzner for a pretty goal

Awesome! If you were looking for failure (I was, and enjoyed the game immensely).

The Oil broadcast team giving Yak helpful tips on how to be like Crosby was especially funny.

If you want real hilarity, find their highlight package from the St. Valentines Day massacre against the Flames from a few years back.

Someone had to stop the Oilers momentum in nabbing all the first overall picks. The good news is that team is no longer in our division.

No conversation about Mike Haynes is complete without this gem



He's absolutely the worst. Slightly a homer.
