This Tanner fella, Eklund and any of the other bloggers on this site should be embarrassed. This is a joke. Didn't watch the game because he hurt his back (anyone who's ever injured their back was faking?) - then proceeded to make this a daily diary post. Wow.

Tanner's blogs are the most entertaining here.

Look, you can whine all day - and often do, about Doan getting more ice time than the kids. Here's the thing: The season is a wash, let the 95 year old guy have some extra shifts in what might be his last decade stretch of the NHL.

According to most of Tanners harshest critics he never watches the games anyways, so at least we know he's being honest this time.

The back comment was obviously him suggesting he never understood before just how bad a back injury was, not him suggesting he's the first person ever to have a real back injury.

As Aetherial said, Tanner's blogs are generally entertaining, which is at least half of his job: Be entertaining and provide information relevant to his readers.
So at least he got 1 out of 2 on this blog.

Were you hoping for like a detailed blow by blow of the Coyotes vs Hurricanes? There is probably 89 of those online right now. I would be serious cash my game recap was the absolute best out of all of them.

Your supposed to follow that with a mic drop. Its what all the cool kids are doing.

Wow Tanner! You didn't watch the Coyotes game? Shocking! Jut kidding. You've never watched a Yotes game. Watching Duclair last night, I think he's gonna be a bust. I hope he comes around, but I'm not feeling good about him. Has all the skill in the world, but he just can't finish a play. Gets pushed off the puck, and out muscled. Maybe since he's not playing well at all, They should give him more ice time. I don't know.

The irony is you analyze players like you've never even seen a single game.

Really, how? Was I off on Duclair? He has 3 goals this year. Plays with skill, but can't score! Should I throw some Corsi numbers up and make him seem better? Sorry I watch him play. Have you? I want him to be good. He plays for my favorite team. But the Idea that you like him so much, is getting me worried. You know, with your track record on player predictions.

It's actually really good. Go back through my archives you can find me predicting the rise of Kucherov, Kadri, Gardiner, OEL and more. I am basically the best.
