Rebound

I found this cute/hilarious pic on Facebook and I made a meme out of it. I wanted to keep it clean and I really couldn't come up with anything better. Think it's pretty funny though. ">http://

That baby has been a Hawks fan for longer than most Hawks fans

Corey Perry's devastating high sticking to his own face. That bastard should be suspended indefinitely.

Here's to the flow.

Wow, I didn't see that coming... and neither would he.

 

 think the next step is to put Richard Bernstein in Murph's old spot between the benches.

Ok - I gotta ask...
 
Others here alluded to Murph's possible alcohol consumption while at work for FSD...Is there any proof, or is it all speculation?
 
The reason why I ask is that I myself never really noticed him under the influence while broadcasting, or "UIB"...Then again I'm usually having a few drinks myself while watching the game

As far as I know it is all unfounded speculation.

 

Murph stumbled on his words a lot and people seemed to take that as drunkeness when really I think he just wasn't very good as a broadcaster. 

 

I've heard no substantiated incidents about his drinking.  It just became a running joke because of his constantly mangling words.  But the reality is, being an on air broadcaster isn't easy.  Think of how most hockey players sound in interviews.  

 

The mid-season firing is unusual but until I hear otherwise I'm giving Murph the benefit of the doubt. 

Murphy was useless between the benches because he never said anything.  That said, he's not nearly as creepy as Darren Eliot or Justin White.

 

Pierre says hi. 

I blame Abdelkader. His hat trick surely must be a sign of the apocalypse, FSD must have decided to make a sacrifice. 

I liked it how they all had roles: Mickey was the old-timer with stories, Larry was the enthusiastic analyst who had a really good eye for the game and often fumbled on words, and Ken was the one who kept his feet on the ground and the whole thing together.

This is absurd! Who didn't love Murphy, goofy as he was. This is very sad. As Nev said, you blame ratings for a hockey game on the Pierre McGuire of your local broadcast team? "Damn, Larry is on again, can't watch my Wings tonight"... Gimme a break!

LGW should prepare a petition, or at least a thank you/support card.

I do, too.  But let's face it, Murphy was not a good commentator or color guy.  I like him as a player and hate to see someone fired, but its probably a smart move.

I think he was entertaining. Not exactly the brightest or best, but loveable goof. What more do you want?

They said they just needed a change, ratings weren't what they were

 

And of course, replacing the #2 colour guy will see the ratings shoot up?  I hate it when management give BS excuses to staff.
