gruven 530 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I give my FCP vow, right here and right now, that.... If I'm in any pressbox, and hear an announcer use the phrase 'walk off goal'.... I will immediately punch him right in the sack. Link to post Share on other sites

dEv~ 19 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Yuck...why try to make a great sport more like a boring, poorly run sport?I love the NHL but of the major sports here in the U.S. my list from best to worst run sports would be.NFLMLBNBANHLThe NFL is now America's pastime and the cap gives every team a chance. MLB has the worst financial structure but it is a very very popular sport. I hate the NBA but it seems pretty popular and they have a major TV contract. The NHL is my favorite and it has improved with the new structure but it still can't be mentioned with the other three until it gets on something a tad more popular than OLN. (Oh ya didn't they have like 5 games on NBC last year that rated lower than an episode of Last Call with Carson Daly?)Oh ya Skate off is teh ghey. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 4 months later, and I still haven't heard a single announcer say "skate-off goal". Maybe the NHL realized what a stupid idea this was in the first place?Has anyone heard this at the end of a game this season?Don't ask me why this popped into my head while watching the Detroit-Columbus game, I have no idea.

WestcoastCanuck 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Seriously.Wtf.There are a lot of announcers (well a few) on nationally televised games up here that refer way to much to plays that develope at the half boards. This is probably what he is talking about. Link to post Share on other sites
