Yea, I like to think of hot chicks in terms of dating them. If she is an idiot, eventually I am going to be annoyed with her all of the time. Chantel annoys me. Why does she have to read the score from every out of town game? She murders three or four names or scores each and every time.

And Ryan Bayda?! I was having a tough time thinking of an 18 for the Canes. Note: I didn't Google it.

she is fucking awful and will not be here next season

Bob Harwood must have cost a lot of dough

If Tripp can make it as long as he has, then we've probably got 3 more years of Chantele.

3/14/2013 11:45:02 AM

dude tripp is a goober but he knows his shit

that comparison isn't fair at all

3/14/2013 11:45:23 AM

^ True

And Washington still has Craig Laughlin, so we are in for the long haul with Tripp. I kind of like the banter between he and John. And Tripp does know his shit. No idea where Al Koken is.

I personally don't have an issue with Tripp but he sys some dumb shit sometimes that makes me facepalm myself more often than not.

[Edited on March 14, 2013 at 11:57 AM. Reason : John F knows his shit.]

So we have to compete with Columbus, Washington, New Jersey, New Yorks, and Pennsylvania for 3 spots in the Division, and then everyone else including Detroit for the other 4 spots in the playoffs.

If we keep the top 6, this seems like a pretty good scenario for the Canes.

3/14/2013 12:13:12 PM

Tripp knows his role, and plays up his "goofiness". He and John compliment each other well.

Just face it...broadcasts wouldn't be the same without Tripp.

Cmon man, I don't have any real problem with Tripp but as a commentator, he's somewhat retarded.

The other night was the first time in nearly a year I watched a Canes game. After the first dumb thing Tripp Tracy said I realized I actually missed hearing that shit. The Chantelle girl is hot, so she's got that going for her over the other guy, but she really doesn't seem comfortable whenever she's on camera/reading anything off like the scores.

florida teams kina got the shaft on this realignment as far as travel

well maybe not considering the Division A

as a commentator, he says some retarded things, especially for a Harvard grad

3/14/2013 5:01:21 PM

Florida is so fucked on the realignment. I find it hilarious.

Would have been interesting to replace Florida/Tampa Bay with Chicago/Minnesota

You haven't heard a color guy say dumb shit until you've listened to Chico Resch.

hahaha I've heard Chico. He's right up there with Tripp.

Chico's like your excitable uncle you watch hockey with. He is acutely aware that he makes a multitude of errors when color commentating. If you want an awful color person, trying listening to Sherry Ross on the Devils radio broadcast. She and Goober Tracy would spawn the dumbest children on the planet. . .

Even Pens fans hate them. The people in power to choose announcers act like it's just because they replaced Mike Lange, but Steigerwald is objectively awful. The TSN guys make fun of him.

3/18/2013 9:46:48 PM

You're saying he should have stuck with the goal in regulation? He got knocked on the fucking back of the head...what, do you expect him to prop up in perfect clarity and snap his glove?

3/18/2013 9:55:55 PM

pretty sure he's talking about the shootout goal...
