Oh, hello, it’s been a minute. How’s everyone doing? Enjoy your break?
Media hype around this game will be, already has been, off the charts. Pretty well guarantee it won’t live up to what the media is peggin’ it to be. Listening to the players and Tipps yesterday they seem to all understand that the 2 points are of utmost importance... she’s a MUST WIN!
|
Joking? Not sure?
I must be living in an alternative universe. I don't have social media accounts aside from FB, so I guess I can't conclusively speak to the level of hype, but I haven't seen or heard a peep about this game anywhere aside from local media, really. I completely forgot this game was taking place tonight.
|
It has been on sports radio and TV every day. During the slow news of the all star break it was pretty constant. Every Flame and Oiler were asked about it, even some of the alumni.
When I was in Mexico I had an Oilers hat and it often started conversation. Depending where the other was from/who they cheered for dictated the start of the conversation but the all inevitably went to this situation and this game.
Heck, the Athletic has had no less than 10 articles alone on the subject. It really is the most hyped game in the league in recent memory.
I agree with others though that it doesnt live up to the hype. Outside of it escalating to Wings/Avs level I dont know how it can.
|
Have to say the right goalies are starting for a Red Wings/Avs “remake”. Rittich and Smith are both emotional players... couldn’t imagine Talbot and Koskinen throwing down.
|
I'd be more scared of Koskinen than any of the other three...hard to get past that reach!
|
I mean, I’ve heard he’s got a weak high glove ;)
In all seriousness, on the topic of fighting, majority of fights you see a player grab the other one by the jersey collar in hope of holding them off so you can feed them... every time I’ve gotten in a scrap I’ve always grabbed, or attempted to, a hold of their bicep with my non dominant hand and fed them with my right. Generally guys are righties when it comes to chuckin knucks and grabbing their right arm with my left allows my dominant hand to run wild while their dominant is restricted. Try punching me back when I’m holding your dominant and instinctive arm. I’ve found tremendous success with it, being on the winning side of more fights than not, be it bar fights, random scraps and the odd tilt I’ve had in sports. Why is it that most guys grab the shirt collar?
