NHL 2021: I Pledge Allegiance to Gritty

[SonofSouthie]

I could see thinking it was something besides a bear, but I can’t imagine not seeing anything at all. Why would an NHL team just have a jagged drawing of nature as a logo?

I'll tell ya, the first time I ever saw the logo close up was when I Goog'd the image last week. I'm not a Bruins fan so I don't watch any of their games no matter who they're playing and I guess it's just I never really paid any attention to Minny's logo. Looked like a blob of colors to me.

So, in traditional Quebec fashion, Quebecois politicians have been giving crap to Montreal captain Nick Suzuki for not being able to speak French.

In other news, Montreal curiously wonders why they have trouble signing players.

You'd think being cupless for 30 years would change enough public opinion, but I guess old Quebecois nationalists die hard.

Leave Bruce Jenner alo---

I'm not sure I have enough cred to say that.

It's always been about identity for them.

Now that sucks. I wouldn't wish that for anybody. I'm pretty sure that's what ended Doug Woog's TV broadcasting career. The greatest color man in college hockey.

The greatest color man in college hockey.

Johnny Peirson says "hi." Consider: this guy was 100% Boston Bruin, through and through, and I consider him peerless. That's a recommendation.

Nothing but best wishes for the man with one of the best mullets of all time.

You mean Doug right?

I think so? Not sure what you're asking exactly.

that’s not Barry. I mean I don’t hate him but

cant top Doug’s “everyone is on their feet…except for the people in wheelchairs”

Sorry, I guess I wrote it wrong. I always meant to apply Doug to the greatest comment.

I thought Cusick and Peirson were a pretty good team

I learned more about hockey from Peirson's Pointers than the entire rest of all hockey commentary I ever saw or heard. The guy was amazing, and his ability to see what had happened, without replay, was godlike.

Imagine when he starts dating Taylor Swift.

Didn't even make it one day: Brett Howden of Vegas will have a hearing today for an illegal check to the head on Seattle's Brandon Tanev.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Imagine when he starts dating Taylor Swift.

I laughed. That's a pretty good line.
