Elliotte Friedman on a possible NHL play-in tournament, Tanner Pearson and more
Elliotte Friedman from Hockey Night in Canada joined the guys to chat about the possibility of an NHL play-in tournament, Tanner Pearson’s health and more.
I think it should be the best teams period. If only 2 teams are good enough in a division, then take 6 from the other division. If two teams have the same point, from any division or conference, then why not have a play in game between them to see who gets in. Too many times, teams get into the playoffs just because they play in a weak division or teams miss out because you can only have 5 teams from a division make the playoffs.
Oh yeh Bo never knew it would go out😂😂😂😂😂 It is disappointing because Vancouver treated Bo well. Vancouver always had Bo's back. But it is clear Bo doesn't have Canucks fans back. If Bo would have said " Better than Vancouver's management" "Better than Vancouver's ownership" ok that's fine. But why lump the Canucks problems on the city of Vancouver and their fans. Good Luck Bo and stick it up your Arse.
Elliott should be a politician. Never have I heard of him commit to an opinion when asked of his. He ends up just talking about other people's opinions, not his 🙂
Kudos to Elliotte. He doesn’t need to do regular appearances on D&D. His willingness to always show up, give great info, and support a local show-solid dude, no doubt.
someone please visit elliot freidman and give him a meal or some change or maybe a few candles to help him out. Poor guy does all this for hockey and cant get a roof over his head
Lmao van fans are so fn stupid thinking he Bo was talking about the fans when it was obvious he was directing at management so pathetically stupid people 😂
Love Elliotte's hair, just no Fs to give…livin his best life. Dishevelled is the new "Bed Head" Style, and he's rockin it. He's right about Bo, he just blurted that out. I bet he actually is pretty disappointed with a lot of things that happened in Vancouver, including the fans throwing their stuff on the ice and Boo'ng the Team. Lot's of toxic Vancouver "fans" out there.
Good riddance to Bo Horvat. I loved him while he was here… But he left his team and the city than talks shit about both… The guy is a coward and showed his true colors.
the "threat" of infection is inherent with every invasive surgical procedure … and every surgeon will convey this possibility before the operation … not completely sure what the specific basis for "grievance" would comprise for pearson … would certainly be curious about what the legal standing impetus for this expected challenge by tanner is wholly composed of … that's for sure…
Elliott is an ASS. He thinks that Linus Ullmark who leads the LEAGUE in Goals Against Average and Save Percentage and is not in the mix for the Vezina.
I clicked on a link to the video just moments ago so haven't yet had an opportunity to watch it. Yet unlike in the NBA, positioning in standings is in the NHL decided on points, with extra-time losses coming with points.
An NHL play-in tourney is an interesting idea as much as having 3 Canadian teams qualify is good. There is by contrast only ONE Canadian NBA team: a Raptors' one that qualified earlier this month for its 1st-ever play-in tourney, finishing 9th and getting to host a Bulls' team that'd finished 10th in the same conference. A double-digit lead on points for the Raps turned into a 4-point loss, proving that, yes, a play-in tourney can be entertaining but that it doesn't mask deficiencies of a not-so-good team like the Raps this season were.
Instead of play-ins & adding playoff teams why not have a single knock out tournament between the bottom 4 or 8 teams to earn the number one overall pick. It brings in extra revenue for the league & stops all the bs tanking!

There’s already a play in tournament of 82 games, it’s called the regular season
Bo NEVER says anything off the cuff. He thinks about everything he says. He didn't get caught up in the moment
Not a fan of expanding the playoffs myself. 16 of 32 teams qualifying is the perfect number.

Sutter is a stubborn old geezer. Playing Ritchie in the shootouts with hands of rock should get him fired!

We already have an 82 game "play in." I'm sure the owners are pushing for this, but I'm not a fan.
I hate the idea of play-in qualification. If you want to make the playoffs, you gotta win in the reg season.
Love Elliot. He’s right about Bo. I’m a diehard Canucks fan w his jersey. What he said was fine. Yes to a play in. Yes to Claude Giroux.
Ditch the loser point. There. I said it.
Please no, that’s the stupid thing ever

This ain’t sissy basketball! No play in!

Donnie could use a bigger band with his head gear.
Kadri and especially Huberdeau underachieved. But to be so close to making the playoffs and didn't get there will sting for months…
Play in tournament? No. But, regular season tournaments sure. All canadian tournament, original six tournament, west/east coast tournament.
Bo pretty much said what Canucks fans have said for years.. I have no problem with it. Canucks management has been dismal and he had enough.

Elliot Friedman shouldn’t have gotten vaxxed. He can’t stop coughing still today
