Larry David rips Rangers coach David Quinn like only he can

Everyone has been waiting for a new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm and while we patiently wait for Jan. 19 for the 10th season on HBO , the show creator/star Larry David is keeping his creative and comedic juices going as he immerses himself into the world of sports.

That’s right: on Tuesday, David made another appearance on the Michael Kay Show on ESPN Radio New York and weighed in on the decisions made by New York Rangers coach David Quinn. 

David cannot understand the treatment of rookie forward Kaapo Kakko and needed to vent about it, like only he can. 

“Why did he bench Kakko in that third period after he scored?” David asks the panel, as only David can. “First goal in 14 games and an assist, he benches him because he takes a bad penalty. Come on, that’s ridiculous… You don’t think he knows he took a bad penalty? He knows benching him isn’t going to do anything, maybe he’ll get another goal.”

David is referring to the Jan. 2 game against the Calgary Flames, in which Kakko collected two points through two periods but played just under 13 minutes of ice time, taking a holding penalty midway through the third period. 

Many fans loved David’s analysis of the penalty and believe his sense of hockey analysis is pretty, pretty, pretty, good.
