Smitty's commentary


Mr. Scot

His insight and honesty was great. His delivery needs some work, he's speaking and responding at about 3/4 of the speed he needs to be at. There were long, drawn out pauses and while his chill is okay in a slow moving pre-season game, he'd be hard pressed to keep tempo.

Getting the names wrong, not a problem in the preseason, it's just going to happen.

It was a bit awkward at times, but you gotta remember he's got producers and stat guys chirping in his ear while he's trying to talk. But, he does need to let go of the tired and mundane analogies, metaphores and cliches- he did stumble thru several of those.

But I love his honesty and there's nothing more refreshing than to have someone who knows these guys and came from this organization who'll tell it like it is. 

The only disagreement I have- Grier is a bust. Made a couple good throws yesterday, but it was a preseason game and it doesn't make up for the nothing he's done for a couple years now.

South Carolina fans weren’t happy with him lol. He ripped Jake Bentley to shreds when talking about Shi Smith. He wasn’t wrong about anything he said, but was kind of an odd rant to go on considering Jake Bentley isn’t even playing football anymore. Gamecock message boards were furious about it. I’m a longtime Bentley hater so I was fine with it lol 

 

Overall, I thought he was fine for a preseason game. He’s not very polished, but I loved his honesty.

In short I loved it. Surprised he didn't cuss out loud a few times! He is honest to a FAULT. I enjoyed his insights. Screw it, it's hard to be unbiased when talking about one of the greatest the Panther's players of all time. Also, liked that the other guy didn't talk about the coach's ample chest. I hope Steve doesn't get himself in trouble saying stuff on TV.

    • If I could pie more, I would. Fantastic 
    • Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
