Hockey Trash Talk & BS thread

All that water wasted........

 

Water, the time of the mods... it's all the same thing.

 

Depending on where you live that could be an insult or a compliment.

 

Aren't the best compliments hidden behind an insult?

 

I do want to say that blackouts can go suck a fat one. I cut the cable and I only use the NHL app. I get that my local team is blacked out (which I can watch with an over the air HD antenna), but any game on NBCSN I'm blacked out for. I called and they said that it's on national TV so it's blacked out.

What pisses me off is that I'd have to pay for Dish or Direct TV and over $70 a month to get one fucking channel.

Thankfully reddit has a great source of ways to stream games online without the app.

 

If you're computer litarate you can get a VPN for like $50/year.

I can watch any game I want...I just change my VPN location and done. I've logged into every state across the US as well as Germany, Finland, Sweden to catch the national games.

 

My entire house runs on a VPN so getting local games worked, but if it's on NBCSN any state in the country seems to give me issues. I haven't tried moving my VPN outside of the US to see if that works.

 

Try that. I sometimes have to juggle between places in Europe but eventually I can get the NBCSN,etc. feeds.

I've wanted to set the VPN to my router to get my whole house on it but haven't had the time to look into it...and I've had the thing for probably 2+ years.

 

I have to use a work VPN to connect to use anything and it won't work from a foreign IP. So I'm stuck in Canada lol.

 

I've messed with my Asus RT-AC66R and it's not working worth a shit. I ended up loading DD-WRT and it worked great.

 

Bloody hell!!! Did someone leave the damn door open?? Not another one!!

 

Im so sick of hearing about Mcdavid. Hes the best scorer in the game but hes no where near Crosby as a complete player. Like noWHERE CLOSE

 

Crosby plays for the Pens but McDavid plays for the Oilers. Watch out, if Marner keeps up in the scoring race then mid season then they won't stop taking about the Calder and him.

 

Let's keep Murray in the conversation as well...just saying

 

Yes he's definitely in the running though sexy Canadian market players get more attention then US ones. If Murray plays 50 games with a .930 average he'll be hard to beat. Anything less than that and someone else will likely take it.

 

And the final torpedo has been launched towards the NHL Olympics:

Ya, I honestly don't think he will actually win it but I think he will keep himself in the conversation. A lot of great young talent, you guys certainly have 2 possible front-runners. I honestly think Laine will likely get it just because he will probably have the gaudy numbers by the year's end. But I like Matthews' game better. And Marner is a stud as well....possibly Vesey? Who knows.

 

Laine also has some of the worst shots/goals for/against numbers in the league for advanced stats though right now

 

Yeah Laine is too much of a one dimensional player to win the Calder. All offense no defense.
