"Celly". I rest my case. Celly, praccy, chel/chell, flow, bucket, twig, tendy. I fucking hate them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debatable, we can carry out with whatever diction we want. Hockey isn't necessarily a serious environment, hence no need to carry ourselves out in such a stiff manner I suppose.

stackem30 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Since most of us here are just complaining about overused slang we don't like, here's one that is an absolute epidemic in the NHL: gutless. Man, everything is gutless these days. A thrown punch. A bad hit. A picked fight. A post-game comment. A goal celebration. Scoring another goal when the score is already high. A fan interaction. The list of what can be 'gutless' is long, indeed. Soon enough, a player will say it was 'gutless' that they were placed on waivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dstew29 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 ok, i'll dive head first inot this pile of lexical begrudery. The most over-killed phrase that sends a shock through my brain every single time I hear it from NHL talking heads / players / coaches is "his compete" or "his compete level" as a noun. I was shaking just writing that out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 The phrase that hurt my feelings the most when watching the NHL? 'smart hockey' Basically if you play anything other than boring as hell system hockey - you're not playing smart hockey. Fork meet eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagoal Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 On a corollary point, can I add Pierre McGuire calling Vegas games during replays: "pay attention to #81 in green. Watch how he...." No. No. No, Pierre. There's no green in their uniforms, nor on their jersey, nor in their logo. It's grey. Grey is not green and green is not grey. You've repeatedly done this since last season and again last night. Just stop. It's not green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
