Idiots had him & Parker on a hot mic until someone called Parker, probably his wife telling him what was happening.

Complete Bush league.

meh, its a pandemic they are doing things differently

I suspect he could get a hat trick and you’d complain.

So, where is Stang and his comrades??

You weren’t looking in front of the Oiler net. He was there’ taking punishment like usual. He was also either in front of the Flames net or in the corner in the Flames end working for the puck.

Holy CHED caller just said the Nurse goal was extremely weak and that 4 of the 5 goals against markstrom tonight he considers soft. LOL

CHED host shut him down fast. Said Markstom was ten times better than Kostinem' no debate.

Loving the win, slightly confused by the people who need to focus on their agenda. Don’t get it, basically feel pity

I find the Simpsons funny too

I suspect he could suck for a month but got a point or two and you would be salivating yourself.
The guy played 15 minutes. Why?
Whyndoes a team plays their top line C so little in a tight game? I know the answer. You will search for an excuse.

I've heard as many commentators, players, and coaches say gutsy performance as anyone else. However, I've also noticed when Campbell talks about the Flames, the opposition, players, the play or the game, it's confronted with an aggression and distain never reserved for others.

And this isn't targeted at you specifically, pylon. Frankly, it's really good to see you back and posting on the semi-regular. This is just a general observation I've made as a fan regularly participating in the GTs. Cassie Campbell receives far harsher criticism on this forum than any other commentator, despite making the same calls and observations as any other, despite being viewed as a 'homer' by other fanbases.

I would say I suspect the reason, but I know the reason.

It has absolutely nothing to do with her being a woman. I fully support women having a fair and equal shot at anything. In my workplace, a male dominated industry, I am extremely proud, that more than half our staff, is women. It’s almost unheard of in automotive and I had a part in hiring most of them. My wife, who works at our dealership in the finance dept, out earns me and I couldn’t be prouder of her.

My problem is, Cassie Campbell is a terrible colour commentator.

I enjoy arguing about who sucked the most during a win. Totally a fun way to watch hockey

[GioforPM]

So do we congratulate Ward for scratching Bennett to motivate him, then playing him with Gaudreau and Monahan for max effect?

Haven't we blown off enough steam in all the doom and gloom threads? I sure have let's enjoy this win.

I literally said to my wife.... “I bet Cassie says gutsy performance at some point tonight. She says it every single night.”

Aside from her inability to not say ‘Gutsy performance.... she has to be the most Captain Obvious analyst ever. It’s like a 12 year old is providing colour.

“As you see there, the goalie couldn’t get across the crease so they scored on the side of the net that wasn’t covered.”

Gee..... thanks Cassie, my eyes don’t work, can you maybe put a blinking red circle around the area that the goalie wasn’t covering just to make it perfectly clear?

I really tried hard to like her. She knows the technical game as well as anyone, but she doesn't articulate it well. At this point, it would be sexist to not extend her the same criticisms that someone would to a male.

She makes everything sound so mundane. I thought she would grow into the role more as it often takes a couple of years, but she hasn't unfortunately.

Someone needs to tell her to cool it on the McDavid praise as well. It comes across as a little obsessive.
