Pointless Hockey Interviews

In between the anthems being sung, Don Cherry's brilliant non-discriminant comments and the actual hockey games, we of course get the wonderfully insightful mid-period, post game interviews with the players.
After watching the first few games of the playoffs, I couldn't help but notice how great these are. They are always so full of interesting information that we couldn't have come up with ourselves had the player not been so nice as to share his knowledge with us.
As an example, here I will give one right now, even though I didn't play the game.
"Well, its tough out there, you know the puck going through the neutral zone, and we're just not skating well. We've got to get back on or feet and make quicker turns.
If we can start following our checks, and keeping our eyes on the goal, I think things can turn around for us.
They're tough, they've got expert turners, and we have to be ready for em. We can't keep sitting on our leads like this, our powerplay really needs to pull together otherwise I think we'll be watching the next series from the sidelines."
Keep up the good work guys. |

| if we want them to say more they should be taught eariler. watching OHL or world junior interviews are the same thing. i swear they practice in the mirror at night to be just like the guys in the NHL. |

Doodman. Sports interviews are the greatest:
"I'm just happy to be here, glad to be a part of a great team and just want to play and win.". |

"... and I'd like to give a shout-out to my main man RJ."

I love when interviewers ask the question... "So, what do you think your team needs to do to win here?":wtf:
Ummmm, how about, WE NEED TO PUT THE PUCK IN THE OPPOSING TEAMS NET MORE TIMES THAN THEY PUT THE PUCK IN OURS!:whip: |

I love it when they ask a question and they completely avoid it!
They can answer pretty much every questions with the same answer..
It's even better when its a Russian FOB who can't speak English... |

He's right about the English language part because the Russkis play WELL, not GOOD.
But yeah, those interviews are brutal sometimes. I love it when the players try to act smart, and end up saying something that makes no ing sense at all. But even THAT is still better than listening to Don Cherry. |
