Cujo Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 and Barry Melrose does in fact suckWhat the hell sucks about Melrose? He's not annoying like Don Cherry, nor a toolbag like Bill Clement. He's just some guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I prefer Melrose over most of these guys who all either A, are idiots, B, are dicks, C, are still bitter about something, or D, all of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I actually wonder if the Mullet tones down his hockey knowledge when he's on ESPN. All his observations seem shallow, generalized, and cliche'd. Probably just pandering to his audience since hockey receives about 30 seconds of analysis air-time in the playoffs anyway. Gotta get his words out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Not trying to start a flame war but I'm legitimately curious as to why there is so much Kings hate on these boards. I can understand it coming from Ducks fans but otherwise it seems perplexing. I don't even hate them and they eliminated my teamTwo things. #1 There is and never has been a McSorley curse and true Kings fans know that. There was a Patrick Roy curse back in 1993 in June but that is all. Secondly, I don't see any hatred towards the Kings. Heck, even Still Mighty isn't hating on the Kings, he just would prefer someone else win. But hatred of the Kings? I don't even know where you're seeing that... unless of course you've camped out in the Phoenix Coyotes locker room where they are still crying about being out played by a better team and being beaten up by the Kings.Any "curse" was more a case of McNall's financial and legal woes immediately after and how long it took to recover from that.

It's not like he's the only one. And yelling you suck is amongst the most juvenille and generic thing you could yell. It's what kids in high school would yell.

It's actually funny to listen to the "non-hockey" people on ESPN try to talk about the sports. I remember one time PTI was talking about something hockey related, and both Wilbaum or Kornholer were talking in the most elementary and simple way about the sport; basically telling us they know nothing about it. Same goes with a local guy on WEEI Sports Radio Boston named Glen Ordway. Thinks he knows something about hockey, but obviously doesn't.Melrose, Buccigross, Levy and....wait, those are the only three, probably want to talk more in-depth about hockey, but can't, most likely because of their unqualified colleagues.

Interestingly enough , that is the one thing you always say is ruining this country.Melrose isn't even wrong here.I agree with you. My point was just that Tnak complains all the time about the sensitivity of this country and the movements to be more politically correct (which I'm typically against), and then gets offended when somebody says something about his city? No wonder nobody takes him seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharks fans are weird sometimes.I'm sure that having to watch their Sharks hack all over themselves each and every April factors in. For example, Sharks fans also booed Ed Belfour for the final 15 years of his career -- obviously jealous of the postseason success he had pre and post San Jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharks fans are weird sometimes.Actually fans in general are weird sometimes. I never understood the Anaheim fans booing Wayne Gretzky when he was traded to St. Louis. I don't understand when fans boo a player when he leaves via free agency because the team decided it was better to go in a different direction.
