JR's twitter feed is hard to read, I think he responds to every single person that tweets him. Anyway, he said:

Anyway, reading these I kinda get the impression that Roenick just has no verbal filter, and Versus finds that entertaining so they put it on the air. I don't think he really understands what it is to be a broadcaster after being a fairly loud hockey personality for so long.

Bonus response to someone who said "what about Thornton?"

quite possibly the greatest rant in nhl history right there

the karpovtsev video, that is.

do you realize that if this goes to a 7th game, the time between tuesday and thursday could quite possibly last up to 317 hours?

whattttttttt?????

this is so epic i literally cannot stop jizzing

try and sleep tuesday or wednesday night if the wings win game 6...i dare you. it will be impossible

It's not so much me as Roenick; he's good.

I wonder how Foley really feels about Karpovtsev though.

Karpotsev is a Russian so everything Pat Foley said makes sense.

fun fact; Russia have never won the Olympic gold medal in men's ice hockey

lol Whitegoose brings up an excellent point. As soon as Helmut Balderis became ineligible in international competition, the Russians were ****ed.

WANGZ in 7. You had us on the ropes in the final mins going for a sweep in game 4.....down 2 goals in the 3rd at home in game 5.....

who knows what kinda choke u guys will come up with in games 6 and 7, but gz, this could be a franchise killing series.

Goofy I know you have this game on DVR and I just saw the highlights on ESPNews as I'm about to go to sleep. After Pavelski's goal Babcock was looking on with a blank stare that made me lol. If you can get that on YouTube I'll do my best to .gif it tomorrow. Seemed like it had potential.

GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAR

Sorry, already erased it

I have it DVR'd....will attempt getting the part you mentioned online some time tomorrow (even tho im a wings fan )

Balls. Maybe since it was right after the goal it will make it to the interwebz anyway.

Like I said it might make it on anyway so if anyone comes across it you can just post the link. And it's just him with a blank stare so you'll have use for it as well.

Puck Daddy will prob chime in tomorrow.

God I love that the Sharks have nothing to do for 2 days but discuss who the biggest choker on their team is.

You know what else is unprofessional? Being a paid, professional hockey player and deciding not to try very hard in the Stanley Cup playoffs. That's unprofessional.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to pull off Mission Unlikely and comeback to win this series, but at this point, I'm super happy with what I've seen. This series could easily be 3-2 the other way, all games are 1 goal, etc. But the sweet thing is, the CHOKEZ are healthy, and the WANGZ are walking wounded. You can't beat put us down quick and eazy when we banged up, and you expect to win Lord Stanley's Cup?


Mike Mo the XFactor for game 6. Gotta believe he has some WIM stored up and ready to go. I actually think we are a much better team right now with the hurt the Franzen skating. Take any other F and put them in place of Mule, and we get better by default. Even a kid for GR is better than wounded MULE at this point.

Quote of the night was easy Babcock in his press conference, when talking about Datz not taking faceoffs.

"He's our best faceoff guy, but I guess he just didn't feel like doing it tonight" or something along those lines. PIMP smack of stupid reporters.

Wangzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

now that was a vintage performance by the chokez that we have all become accustomed to seeing over the years

reading is hard. it's also a terrible title.

that's a bunch of baloney. the unified team was russia.

Pavel Datsyuk is not impressed.

Kronwall is also severely overrated.

Agree with this 100%.

Win at home, and who knows what can happen in game 7.
