The Hawks are really shooting themselves in the foot here. Stupid mistakes defensively and brutal powerplay.

That commercial is just ghastly all around. Hughson's hair is questionable but his rapping is even worse.

Weitz over to you. Do you think that type of idiotic question is quality coverage?

Again, why watch intermission reports? I literally change the channel or leave when a period ends. There is nothing to be gained watching anything sportsnet or any rights holder to be honest. Gene entertains the kids in the pregame. Player interviews are useless and have been forever.

In fact I’m going to have a shower in 4 minutes!

It was abysmal in game 2.

That being said they are 3rd among the 24 teams since the re-start.

So your answer is everything is fine if you don’t read or watch it
Awesome

Tyler Ennis is in trouble after a hard hit from Kirby Dach. Hard to see him struggling on the ice like that. I think he's hurt his knee.

Oh yikes, this on-ice mic picking up Ennis moaning in pain is rough.

Sounds like he's in a lot of pain.

Now this I can agree with. Still, Gene wins the gold medal for clown interviewers. He is literally a walking cartoon character.

I do find it hilarious though the pimping of McDavid when his teammate out scored him. Draisatl in the running for the Hart, has a pretty good shot at winning it...... McDavid talked about 15x more. Because he’s fast... and stuff. I’m sure Leon is wondering what it’s gonna take (hint: you’re not Canadian, so, nothing will ever be the same as McDavid).

Looked like Ennis turned at the last second and put himself in a bad position on the hit. Tough to see a guy in pain like that. Yikes.

And already, just to demonstrate the homer qualities of Oilers media...

At most, Flames media would call something like that "questionable." But no. It has to be a conspiracy.

I would posit that rust is what is making players do un-natural things when it comes to hits.

Take the hit and you'll be fine. Try and avoid the hit and you're in serious trouble.
