I just can't take Peter Loubardias voice anymore. It's like listening to a loop of fingernails on a chalk board. Never has a man talked so much and offered such little value or insight. He's just terrible.

I like Loubo. Mainly because his tone is upbeat/optimistic, and even though he takes the roundabout way of making a point, he has a long background around the game and can provide valuable insight from time to time.

Sutter likes him and tries to answer his questions and I can see why. He beats the hell out of Francis' awkward rhetorical questions.

Easier to listen to than Nault, who has a grating tone and just plays devils advocate day in day out.

Just an awful lineup.

Might just call it a season.
I would read it because I always find your "side observations" interesting. Not because of the game itself in this case.

But maybe you could do an end of season take instead? I'd like to read that.

Can't say they didn't attempt the tank.

If the Canucks can't beat that roster then they are truly awful.

I am very excited to see Nordstrom play on the 2nd line and Nesterov play in the top 4.

I predict a goal from Nordstrom. I do not predict a shutout for Domingue.

Let me get this straight

If they Flames finish 22nd they still get a lottery pick? Or is it everyone who misses the Playoffs gets a lottery pick not just the bottom 10 teams.

You can still win, but you can’t move up more than 10 spots.

That's not true. Everyone in the lottery has a chance to pick first or second.

My bad, the 10 spot limit rule kicks in next year.

Time to slowly step back from the ledge.

I think I'll take Sutter's all time record, two Stanley cups and success with every team he has led as greater proof of his acumen than the lineup dressed in a meaningless end of season game.
