Grateful Dead

Something like “Hey Koharski, have another donut you fat pig”
Yeah, not a fan. He was a shitty Ref and doesn't seem to be any better now?

It was a great game. . . for two periods. It really was. Fast paced and Florida was pressuring Vegas hard. Then it unraveled.

I don’t think Cousins had nearly the opportunity that Tuch did years ago, but he still should’ve buried that puck. It didn’t look like he got very good wood on his shot. Tuch did. Tuch just didn’t lift the puck. Regardless, it was remarkable save by Hill.

And how about Thachuk. What kind of lazy pass was that across the middle of the ice? Give Stone credit for knocking out of the air and scoring, but that was all on Thachuk. I thought it was high sticking last night, but after watching it again today, I don’t think so.

Lastly on hockey, I’ve had enough of Koharski as the “expert referee.” The guy is as indecisive as they come and really doesn’t add anything. For me at least. And Jim Schoenfeld.

As for the pregame theatrics, I don’t mind them, but they’re a bit much for me. Edmonton having the entire crowd sing the national anthem is more my speed.

Seastones - no thanks.

Good luck tomorrow night Vguy. I think that Hill save changed the series in your favor. Sweet redemption after the same thing happened to your team while shooting on the very same goal.

I dig it

....corny? Maybe. Entertaining? Definitely.
It's the entertainment capital of the world.
One shouldn't expect anything less.
They had some cirque de soleil members on the tethers last night.
We're on the world stage at this point.
Go big or go home.
During the second intermission, it becomes a club party with a pretty damn impressive DJ with awesome lights. I love my lights. They don't show that during the broadcasts.
I love every second of it. Very addictive.

My wife usually doesn’t watch sports with me unless it is “live”, but she was watching the pre-game build up (“They have cheerleaders!!”) and loving it. We both figure Las Vegas has a bit of experience entertaining a crowd! That T-Mobile was so electric, you could have charged your cell phone off the crowd while watching the game.

SeaStones? I’m with you 1st Show - hard pass.
Steve Hillage - Further investigation required.
Another early fan of the Moog that doesn’t get a lot of credit for it was Roger McGuinn of the Byrds. Early days for use of the Moog, so it can sound a little dated, but The Notorious Byrd Brothers - besides being a great album, and although they deny it, that horse on the cover was a funny shot at David Crosby - has some interesting Moog work. McGuinn was known for his fascination with gadgets and electronics. A truly great record.

Yes, very early use of Moog and other new at the time electronics.
It's actually very good. Jazzy. Jan Hammer is the closest thing I can think of.
They don't go to feedback or the other hideous stuff electronics are capable of.
(Sorry Phil but I dislike Seastones)
Cheers

Thatmike - seems like great time to be hockey fan. Maybe I'd be one myself if I lived where you do.

Istshow- Tonto's Expanding Head Band are a group I can remember hearing about - but never actually hearing. I always imagined them to be an early electronic band - like 50 Foot Hose or Silver Apples.

3 to go. Yes, it seems ludicrous to swing at the goalie. He's well padded.
I was a bit worried when that first goal was scored shorthanded, good hustle.
Fortunes can shift but Vegas looks strong.
Never seen the pre-game festivities. The intro is laughable. Very Vegas, quite the show. Onward.
Cheers!
Steve Hillage research led to finding a Tonto's Expanding Head Band LP in the collection. Thanks

to get down, to the heart of the matter.
The end is nigh lol
What a game! I had 3/30/90, the other Nassau on during. Great show and a great game eh!
Serendipity, you bet, the Knights that say née scored that crucial third goal just as Bob was telling us how we needed a miracle, indeed…
New respect for Hill: in the first when they basically mobbed him and were cross checking him etc, I liked how he stood up to them and even threw a couple in the melee. But best part, he was laughing about it afterwards, while the Kittens were getting all worked up…PYSCH!!!

Nice game, VGuy. It was pretty tight until the 3rd. New respect for Adin Hill. Florida has a relentless forecheck, hard pressure on the D, but the Knights of the T-Mobile held fast. Great game, and a little rough stuff, which I like, too!

The new Dylan and the new Cowboy Junkies are on tap for today. Still no DaP 46, no response to numerous requests to Customer Service. Marye if there is anything you can do, much appreciate it. Help Is On The Way, perhaps?

DaveRock- Patience, it truly is the final series. I equate it to World Cup fever every 4 years. Toronto is a hugely multicultural city, so when the WC is on, bars are given special permission to serve liquor all day (to accommodate games played in far flung time zones), cars sport every flag imaginable, another neighbour puts dozens of Union Jacks in his garden, my neighbour paints himself in Dutch orange, guys that have a slight trace of Irish or Brazilian in their DNA are suddenly sporting T-shirt’s from their “homeland”, etc etc, and although I never caught the bug for the Beautiful Sport, I get the excitement it generates, and the fervour. Props to you for your patience and good humour about it!!
