If you're following our Twitter account (if not follow it!), you should have noticed the other day we decided that we are going to steal (borrow) the concept of the team chat on Slack.
Note:This segment is not sponsored by or afiliated with Slack Technologies, Inc. in any way.
Without further ado, here is Volume One of our Slack #TeamChat:
D.J. Fluck [10:22 AM]
I’ve noticed that it’s become a popular thing to have slack chats to discuss random items and post the transcripts as blog posts
I like it so much I’m going to steal the idea.
Jillian Fisher [10:51 AM]
It's also easy to do hahaha
Donde esta Kate?
Kate Thompson [11:13 AM]
En mi trabajo diario
D.J. Fluck [11:14 AM]
I don’t need to hear about your trips to the bathroom.
Kate Thompson [11:15 AM]
Umm that's not even close
D.J. Fluck [11:15 AM]
Can you tell that I didn’t do very well in Spanish class?
Kate Thompson [11:15 AM]
Did you do well in any class? :trollface:
D.J. Fluck [11:16 AM]
No
I was a pretty poor student
When I showed up to class I was ok. That was the bigger issue
Speaking bigger issues... should the Washington Capitals be worried at this point?
Jillian Fisher [2:31 PM]
SERIOUSLY?!
Should they be worried?
Hell no
it was one damn game.
D.J. Fluck [2:32 PM]
Hey, I’m practicing my segues. That’s the best I could come up with.
Jillian Fisher [2:32 PM]
I do feel like people were freaking out about it though
And 1 game doesn't tell you much. But, that 1 game wasn't anything to worry about. It isn't like they got blown out 5-0
It was a hell of a game, and they kept up. If anything, they should have won especially with that blown call that led to a goal
D.J. Fluck [2:33 PM]
I feel like we’ve seen this storyline in the cup playoffs before. Team makes magical run to finals and falls short
Multiple times
Jillian Fisher [2:34 PM]
The caps will need to find a way to slow down the pace a little bit, but I think getting a little more physical like we saw in game 6 against the bolts
D.J. Fluck [2:35 PM]
The pace Vegas has played at during the season is insane and the fact they’ve not gassed out as a team is even more impressive
They look like they could play another couple of rounds.
Jillian Fisher [2:36 PM]
True, and speed is so important to the game
Which is interesting b/c as the game speeds up, you gotta think they have to address dangerous hits more
But, its the NHL
D.J. Fluck [2:36 PM]
A big reason they changed the icing rule
Jillian Fisher [2:37 PM]
If they just got rid of the trapezoid I think it would have solved that problem
D.J. Fluck [2:37 PM]
I hate that damn trapezoid
Jillian Fisher [2:37 PM]
right?! its the worst
D.J. Fluck [2:37 PM]
I think I’ve only seen a goalie called for a trapezoid violation once, maybe twice?
Hey another fun fact. With Winnipeg losing, We are now at 25 years since a Canadian team won the cup
Montreal won in 1993. Can you name the opponent and their coach?
No cheating
Jillian Fisher [2:38 PM]
Hmmmmm
So, it was a western conference team
D.J. Fluck [2:39 PM]
So far, so good.
Jillian Fisher [2:39 PM]
maybe detroit
but idk
D.J. Fluck [2:39 PM]
Nope
Jillian Fisher [2:39 PM]
or colorado
D.J. Fluck [2:39 PM]
I’ll give you a hint
The Great One.
Jillian Fisher [2:39 PM]
LA Kings
D.J. Fluck [2:40 PM]
Ding ding ding
Jillian Fisher [2:40 PM]
would have never guessed that hahaha
D.J. Fluck [2:40 PM]
for bonus points...name their coach
Jillian Fisher [2:40 PM]
Oh hell no
I have no clue
D.J. Fluck [2:40 PM]
I guarantee you that you know who it is
You probably just don’t remember that he was once a coach.
Hint: mullet
Jillian Fisher [2:41 PM]
Ohhhh shit Barry Melrose?!
D.J. Fluck [2:41 PM]
Yep!
Jillian Fisher [2:41 PM]
wtf
how did I forget/not know he was a coach
D.J. Fluck [2:41 PM]
I think after his failed stint as the Tampa Bay coach in 2008
We forgot about LA
He was hired for the 08-09 season and quit at the end of calendar year and went back to ESPN
Or maybe he was fired. The researcher isn’t available right now.
Jillian Fisher [2:43 PM]
where is that damn researcher :joy:
D.J. Fluck [2:44 PM]
We need a new researcher. Any college students want to work for free in the exciting world of off the wall sports kind of journalism, send us your resume!
We can’t promise you college credit, but we can promise you that you’ll leave at the end of the term knowing you worked with the most interesting growing personalities in sports and @katet...
Jillian Fisher [2:46 PM]
@katet COME BACK TO THE GROUP
D.J. Fluck [2:47 PM]
She’s probably taking a nap. Usually after I mock her she’s quick to shoot a response back.
Anyway. Shifting topics. How about that USMNT?
Jillian Fisher [2:49 PM]
Logging off
hahahaha
D.J. Fluck [2:49 PM]
Hahaha
Jillian Fisher [2:49 PM]
This is a talk for another day
that will take me too long to rant about
D.J. Fluck [2:50 PM]
We’ll save that for the next pod so we can hear the frustration in your voice
Jillian Fisher [2:50 PM]
hahaha
good idea
D.J. Fluck [2:57 PM]
Ok well on that note my mother in law just left so that’s my queue that it’s safe for me to go home!
So thanks for reading and we’ll see you next time on team chat.
Some time later....
Kate Thompson [4:33 PM]
Geez guys...I was battling the tropical storm that hit Chicago! Don't slack and drive!
