2013 Trippisms Thread
 

Tripp: "That's two coaches, in Muller and Dineen, who were teammates for Team Canada in the 1980s."

John: "That was '84, Tripp. That was a long, long, long time ago."

Tripp: That's what Orwell told me."

To be fair, that's fairly clever wordplay by Tripp.

Down 4-0 after the first:

"Nowhere to go but up! Carolina blue skies ahead."

"Of course the Hurricanes did not literally break his back..."

-Tripp referring to the Canes finally solving Theodore in 2002

"The Hurricanes are luck they have very good depth with seven good defensemen."-Tripp

:facepalm:

"In my experience with German hockey players..."

You can almost hear John facepalming after Tripps lesson in Russian.

2/2 regarding Twitter hastags

"That's a lot of hash"

"That's a lot of hash"

"Tonight is a special night for Bobby Sanguinetti after not playing last night, as he's from New Jersey...which is a suburb of Philadelphia."

He or John said "Cocks to Semin" last night.

"There are a lot of people that get hard on Cam Ward."

"We give away a lot of food, Tripp"
"We sure do, John. I haven't made a food reference all year and I still hear about it."

lol its funny cause its half true...

S. Jersey = suburb of Philly
N. Jersey = suburb of NYC

I think he was speaking from personal experience.

Well, well, what you is spelleds to everyone!

...and he just did it again.

"Chantel McCabe can fit a smart car in her suitcase"

"Helps the defense... defensively."

Reminds me of this :laugh:

I'd never seen that before. That's pretty epic.

Most of hockey's announcers or commentators / talking heads, annoy the hell out of me . I try to tune them all out. Usually, it's a difficult thing to do.

"There's more than one way to slice a cat, John."

A friend of mine once described Tripp as the real-life version of Pepper Brooks.
