Well ppl were complaining with the long 12-13 year contracts. That was the way to bring the average annual value down. Now with shorter terms, ppl complaining about over payment. Fact is the star players are going to get their money one way or another, and the GMs are going to find a way to give it to them.

With all the talk about getting a new jersey, we might as well just mash all the previous designs into one.

BarDown: Most hated teams in the NHL by province, country and continent

Apparently Don Taylor and Craig McEwen are gone from Sportsnet.

I've never been a fan of Don Taylor, ya hes local and all but he has so many corny quotes it pisses me off

He was solid on UTv's Sportspage and was tolerable into the early 2000s, but he got a lot less funny (and tolerable) over the last decade.

If you listen to the Bmac and Taylor "you kids get off my dang lawn" snoozefest on 1040, it's even worse than his shtick on Sportsnet.

Now they need to axe:

1) Damien Cox-sucker
2) Everyone from HNIC except Friedman (especially Glenn Healy and the Boston boys)
3) Darren Millard

...what's Wyoming got against Ottawa?

And why does Alabama hate us for that matter?

If they fired Don Taylor for being too much of a GET OFF MY LAWN old man then they're probably sending a team of assassins to kill Tony Gallagher.

most memorable don taylor quotes:


a bruhahah ensues

(insert player) the pride of (insert home town)

he got his right Khabi on it or was it left bhulin (Khabibulin)

in (last name)ian fashion," and "...the (last name)ian one"
example: in Datsyukian fashion // the Datsyukian one

Mike Commodore, with a ballroom of a shot

the mesh ripples
top shelf where mom keeps the peanut butter
it was a gorgeous move


any others?

This how 1040 was the past year with Taylor and Bmac...

talk talk talk...he he he he he he he.....talk talk talk..... he he he he he he...hey big ry...he he he he he he he...

makes me change the radio station everytime.

my exact same questions.... and why are the LA kings the most hated team in California?? I get that there are competitors in the same state, but you'd think that the kings have a pretty big fan base of their own

Nashville hates us because of Kesler. :haha:

It's based off users voting on a Reddit sub...probably had one dude from Alabama who voted the Canucks.

...Nashville is in Tennessee, where they hate the Blackhawks, apparently.

There's no hockey in Alabama. Just trucks, NASCAR and kissing your sister.

I like don taylor

Don Taylor is like the guy that shows up to every party, telling the same jokes.

After listening to Bro Jake and Pratt in the morning (rum and coke show :ifyouknow: ) I take great great pleasure in listening to BMac and Taylor on the way home in the afternoon.

Ya Don Taylor has a shtick, but you know who else does? Every single other memorable sportscaster in the history of sports entertainment.

I liked listening to Pratt and Taylor argue all the time but yeah, BMac and Taylor is way more entertaining than Pratt. And the Moj. God that guy is boring and his voice reminds me of my high school vice principle.

Philly signs Del Zotto to a 1 year 1.3M contract after losing Kimmo Timonen


Sounds like it could be the end of Timonen's career? he's is 39 years old and now has blood clots in both his legs and lungs. It's a shame as Timonen was still playing fairly well for the Flyers Michael Del Zotto inked by Flyers after losing Timonen - Puck Daddy

That vote is full of crap:

As if Africa even cares about Hockey, let alone a random team like Winnipeg.
You'll think at best, they would be able to name 3 NHL teams, and Winnipeg would definitely not be one of them.

Talk about a fall from grace. I remember during the HBO Winter classic that Michael Del Zotto was just an absolute beast. This is like Cam Barker V2.

Wonder what happened?

:hat:

Got into AVs doghouse ala Keith Ballard
