I mean I considered it in cdc/cff fashion as in we could trade him while his stock was high. But seriously, that's not a trade most normal hockey teams even consider. You don't just jettison off freshly found 39 goal scorers in a flat cap environment for whatever you can get when you're in desperate need of top 6 scoring while being charged with making the playoffs. No one had any clue we'd in the running for the President's trophy or that Kuz was a such a flake. 4 hours ago, Bob Long said: Sure in hindsight. I don't believe anyone thought Kuzy was incapable of improving defensively tho. The problem was moreso his lack of fore-checking. Or just not attacking players with enough urgency in all zones. Combined with the fact he cann't really drive a line, and the offense wasn't there. Just wasn't a fit for us & that became evident. Good for him succeeding in Calgary but I'd rather have 5.5M free next year. 2 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, I had never heard of him before he got this gig. I try very hard not to be racist but it seems like a partial diversity hire, and there is nothing wrong with that imo. Now, race besides, is he any good at hockey announcing? Hmmm, I don't particularly think so, but he tries hard I guess. Seems to get way over-excited about the Oilers though which is unprofessional on a national broadcast. What do you think ... I think it likely had something to do with it if we're being honest? Dude made a career from one call. Bonnnionnioooooooo. He took that to the bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been in sports broadcasting his whole fucking life. He was doing calls for HNIC in Punjabi since 2009, and has been doing English calls for over eight years now. Fifteen years of play-by-play. Anyone who tries to bring up his race or diversity in negative way really just needs to shut the fuck up. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Korea Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 @Conscience still mocking people, I see. I asked you one question and you couldn't answer it. I asked you what type of defensive scheme Rick Tocchet uses, no response. Don't bother responding until you can come up with an answer. Making fun of other parents for coaching kids while having zero hockey knowledge himself. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzukes Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 1 hour ago, Conscience said: Yes seems coaching was finally able to convince him that hes not bobby orr. Yup, this is the basic truth. Tyler, you're not mobile from a standstill, do not leave the front of the net unless you're 180% sure you can both get the puck, and clear it out. You have no other jobs, we don't need you to wrap around the net, fly up ice, dangle 3 players, fire it wide, and create a 3-1 the other way. Please read this to yourself like a mantra all game long.

Yeah I don't like Singh. I think it's ironic every time he has to do a Flames-Canucks game. It would be like Shorty having to do Battle of Alberta/Ontario. On the other hand, anyone who tries to call him a diversity hire or think he is doing broadcasts just because he's brown... is a racist piece of shit. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is, there's very few like Shorty or Ray. Singh is better I guess than some US coverage I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I would recommend this area of Mexico We are staying at Marival Emotions and price depends on the type of accommodation. Service and food are great. Check it out. Mods, sorry for offtop.

Then Tocc can just worry about the the day to day and game to game strategies. Could help. They seem to need a LH bumper spot option too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conscience Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I mean diversity hires are a very real thing. Have you seen recent government job postings? They literally say priority will be given to person of colour, disabilities, lgbqt etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son has been with them almost 6 years and looks at different postings all the time. I just texted and asked him and he has never seen one. And it's illegal to ask if someone is gay.
