Is that a foul at 0:22-23 when the one in a white helmet uses his stick to off-balance an opponent?  And what minutes are best to watch?

So yeah Max Pacioretty saga has come to a conclusion. I'm sure though, as with Subban, his name will still be mentioned a lot this season on Montreal sports talk radio  ;D

Here's hoping Nick Suzuki can somehow make a huge splash similar to what Victor Mete did last training camp that forced the Habs to keep him on their roster.
They need this kid to pan out. Even if he ends up needing another year in junior.
Also Tartar should get his usual 20 goals, I hope. He had a weak campaign with Vegas after he got traded there at the deadline. But he seems rared up to get things going with Montreal.

Habs open up the season on October 3rd versus the >:( damn Leafs.
Should be a dandy  :o

Shelter him for the first few months then let him go to the WJHC like they did with Mete.
Worst case they will give him the 9 games before sending him back to junior.
He is in the same situation Mete was, nothing to learn in junior and too young for the AHL.

But, in general, I'll pull for a Canadian team if the Red Wings are out of it (which they probably are already).

Bizarre but IDK details but likely a smart move by mgmt for possible legal and performance issues. That is like a "Slapshot" scenario, almost.

Seguin, finally, resolved. Seems like great deal for him (and his agent) and hopefully for Stars....

I'd be interested. I also don't care what format the league would be. Points, Head to Head, Rotisserie.

Any interested people please say so. 16 days left before the season begins  :D

Our local ECHL team, the Jacksonville Icemen, are minor league affiliates of the Jets. Our first game less is than a month away.

Cool.  We used to have one here in Richmond but they went defunct quite a while ago.  I used to love going to games.  They were called the Richmond Renegades.

Being a Pens fan though, I root for the Wheeling Nailers in the ECHL.

Small world. I thought the Richmond Renegades sounded familiar so I looked it up and our old hockey team, The Lizard Kings, played the Richmond Renegades in a quarterfinal playoff game back in the 1995-1996 season. I may have even seen that game if it was played at home here. It sounds familiar but 20+ years ago and so many games since then it's hard to remember a specific game.

We missed the playoffs this year with a 5th place division spot but not bad for a new team (at least new to the city). Hoping this team sticks around for a while. They seem to have better financial backing than some of the other past teams.

Speaking of ECHL teams. We recently have been given a team.
I haven't really paid much attention to the ECHL and always thought of it as a place where AHL rejects go to die  :P
I'm sure this team will garner a lot of support though. We've had multiple AHL teams here and a junior team. But the travel between the AHL farm team and NHL big clubs seems to always be a knock against us.

I have grown to really like many of the minor league teams in various sports. We have local teams in the ECHL for hockey, the NPSL for soccer, and a minor league baseball team. The flavor of the games are a bit different from their major league counterparts but it seems the participants play with more heart and just as much enthusiasm as if they were in the major leagues. The fans who attend the games are just as engaged and excited as they are at a major league game, although in much lower numbers. Minor league games also are less expensive and give a closer view of the action on the field. I find it as much fun as a major league event.

The only major league team we have is an NFL team but I have lost much of my interest in them for various reasons. The local buzz is they are already talking Super Bowl this year for the first time ever (MUCH too early for the way they are talking as they have only played two games and a lot has yet to happen). But the local hype and some of the drama that has been going on is a turnoff.

What are the Flyers thinking?  LOL!  Meet their new mascot!  It's name is Gritty!

The origin story of the mascot, available on the team’s website , says that “his father was a ‘bully.’” — a possible nod to the Flyers teams of the 1970s, who were known as the “Broad Street Bullies.”

It goes on to describe him as “talented but feisty, a fierce competitor.” He’s also “mischievous; the ultimate Flyers fan who loves the orange and black, but is unwelcoming to anyone who opposes his team.”

It's kind of cute and funny in its own way. I can envision the face being someone's avatar here :) I think many team mascots are made by elementary school students. Our minor league baseball team has a giant jumbo shrimp named Shrimpy for a mascot. Then again maybe it is kindergarten students making them up...

I remember a sports documentary on sports players who had suffered injuries and then became addicted to painkillers and he was one of the players they mentioned. It's great to hear of his turnaround now. Many sports players who end up addicted to painkillers deteriorate and end up dead or endure the rest of their lives in misery. It sounds like Kevin is one of the lucky few who have found the leverage necessary to create a better life from the depths of addiction. Although it is probably a daily battle, it sounds like he is winning...

He definitely has the basics down and that intangible sense of play and at only 18, with some real game playing experience, and if he can remain grounded and focused, he could develop into a superstar. Some were critical of his selection but he deserves some significant play time to mature.

Pretty sure the Habs would be ok if he ended up like Toews  :D
Dare I say that I think he has a real good chance to be an actual elite center.
At least I am holding out that hope and so far at age 18 he's showed tremendous patience, confidence and vision.
Even though he is 6'2" and 180lbs there are times in which he does look small on the ice.

Less than 45 hours until the season begins  :)
I don't think the Habs will be a very good team this season but I think they are better than what people say they are.

It is almost like he rises to the level of competition he plays against.

That Gallagher/Danault/Tatar line seems set and I like their chemistry early on.
So I think they'll start Drouin on with Kotkaniemi. That could become a nice duo.

These lines seem pretty decent though. I think Domi has more to give and might fit nicely where Armia is.

Don't know if this is becoming a trend or not, but I know several people recently who have stopped fantasy sports after many years and it seems their interests have changed and there was no compelling reason to want to play anymore. One guy said it was like a long running TV series that completed its final season. No regrets and good memories but it had just run its course.

Played in 2 fantasy hockey leagues the past 4 years, football too. Decided this year to only do 1 football and concentrate on daily fantasy for hockey.

If anyone is interested in doing private leagues for daily fantasy let me know. Doesn't have to be big bucks, anywhere from a quarter up to $5 a game. Tournament style, 50/50, top X number of players win, etc...lots of options. I have accounts set up in Draft Kings, Fan Duel and Yahoo and can send new account referrals if needed.

Gretzky had his glory years in a league that was like figure skating mixed in with enforcers.  Unlike Mario Lemieux who dealt with (in his prime) the more physical clutching and grabbing league.  ;)  Regardless...Wilson is a head-hunting piece of shit and I think the Caps' Cup win has you pretty ultra-confident.  :D   Cheers albrecht!   8)  This season will be a good one.  :)

Remember Marty Mcsorley??

Oh yeah.  Started off as a Pen and was traded with a couple others for a crappy washed up goaltender to help our already crappy washed up crew of goaltenders.   >:(

Then years later was reacquired as a rental, then traded back again to the same team for the same player the Pens initially gave for him up, plus others. 

Two things are certain.  McSorley was a monster and the Penguins made some weird trades over the years.

Yes, that was so friggin awesome. Also remember a few years back when some "black guy" accidently discoverd hockey and started tweeting about it? So hilarious. As were these times. The guy that falls into the box with Tie Domi. Ouch, but could've been much, much worse!

Lyle Odelein will be at the Bell Centre Thursday night when the Canadiens honour their 1993 Stanley Cup championship team during a ceremony before their home opener against the Los Angeles Kings.

Odelein’s presence will be even more of a miracle than the 10 overtime playoff wins the Canadiens had en route to winning their last Stanley Cup.

On April 4, Odelein underwent a multi-organ transplant, replacing the aortic valve in his heart, his liver and kidneys, in a single surgery that took almost 24 hours to complete at Pittsburgh’s Allegheny General Hospital. The operation was led by Thai Ngoc, a world-renowned transplant surgeon who is also a good friend of Odelein and his wife, Laurel.

Sometimes the smallest things cause the biggest problems. I'll be staying away from cactus needles if I ever see them. Reminds me of that flesh-eating bacteria that you can get just by putting your foot in the river where the bacteria is present. It spreads rapidly and can be fatal if not treated quickly.

There seems to be a trend in sports to hire younger coaches.

Habs and Caps tonight was a sloppy game of sorts but it was a shit ton of fun to watch.

Price made some incredible saves tonight. Ohhh babyy!!!
I am hoping he can maintain this form because with the current state of affairs on defense they'll need it  ;D

Canadiens really need to get 1 if not 2 quality Dmen.
Benn and Schlemko are 6th Dmen at best and Ouellett is a 7th right now the way he's played. Ouellett is mobile but he doesn't read and react that well on the ice.
I had kind of hoped they would have given Simon Depres a longer look. It was a very small sample size of games during the preseason but I thought he brought enough tools to the table to stay in the stable of Dmen. He's 27 as well and that's when Dmen usually round into form. 

I think they plan on pairing Reilly on the left side with Weber, once he returns.
Trade for a #3 or #4 Defenseman so he can play with Petry as the 2nd pair.
Then have Mete - Juulsen as the 3rd pair. They both have great upside but would benefit at this point in their careers at playing as the 3rd pairing.

Yeah right... Habs finally built up the prospect cupboard this off season so they aren't a laughing stock and they also have a few guys from previous drafts who are developing decently (Jake Evans, Josh Brook, Ryan Poehling) and now they'll blow their wad going after Panarin? Would be awesome to see him in Habs jersey but that asking price must be steep.

But Montreal was one of he final teams Panarin considered before he signed with Chicago. So who knows. It seems like Panarin really wants to be in a market where his model girlfriend has a lot of opportunities. I'm not brushed up on what Montreal would offer in that regards, but I hear Chez Parée might hire her  :P

Defense looked real bad tonight versus the Devils. Too many errors and simply not getting the puck out of the zone.

You know its bad when Benn is paired with Petry on the 1st pairing.
Ouellet's decision making is brutal. I would have rather them put Alzner tonight even though the Devils are a fast team.

Maybe once Weber gets back the defense will slot into better roles and ice time. If not, weeeew it is going to be very stinky on the back end (pun intended).

But it doesn't take much to outshine some of the defenders the Habs are throwing out there these days.

Alzner's career looks over. I am really surprised they have not bought him out yet. It would be a tough pill to swallow after signing him to that contract, but the way he is playing right now he's not cut out for today's NHL.

It may be a long shot but I still think Simon Depres could play on the 3rd pair.

Since we lost tonight, now 12 - 6, we went from 3rd to 5th, but for a relatively new team the Icemen are doing well. The Growlers are looking very good.

The Icemen played poorly the first period and part of the second period tonight, trailing 4 to 0 and I thought the game was over. They made a great comeback, almost tied it up at the last second of the final buzzer, and lost 4 to 5, one of the higher scoring games they played this year.

Everybody likes Wacey Rabbit here. One of the persons I went with tonight thought the plentiful signs in the stands that read "Rabbit Season" was for Wacey, but the signs were actually about it being "rabbit season", as in hunting, on the opposing team, the Swamp Rabbits  :D

Habs and Caps tonight was a sloppy game of sorts but it was a shit ton of fun to watch.

Price made some incredible saves tonight. Ohhh babyy!!!
I am hoping he can maintain this form because with the current state of affairs on defense they'll need it  ;D

Canadiens really need to get 1 if not 2 quality Dmen.
Benn and Schlemko are 6th Dmen at best and Ouellett is a 7th right now the way he's played. Ouellett is mobile but he doesn't read and react that well on the ice.
I had kind of hoped they would have given Simon Depres a longer look. It was a very small sample size of games during the preseason but I thought he brought enough tools to the table to stay in the stable of Dmen. He's 27 as well and that's when Dmen usually round into form. 

I think they plan on pairing Reilly on the left side with Weber, once he returns.
Trade for a #3 or #4 Defenseman so he can play with Petry as the 2nd pair.
Then have Mete - Juulsen as the 3rd pair. They both have great upside but would benefit at this point in their careers at playing as the 3rd pairing.

Yeah right... Habs finally built up the prospect cupboard this off season so they aren't a laughing stock and they also have a few guys from previous drafts who are developing decently (Jake Evans, Josh Brook, Ryan Poehling) and now they'll blow their wad going after Panarin? Would be awesome to see him in Habs jersey but that asking price must be steep.

But Montreal was one of he final teams Panarin considered before he signed with Chicago. So who knows. It seems like Panarin really wants to be in a market where his model girlfriend has a lot of opportunities. I'm not brushed up on what Montreal would offer in that regards, but I hear Chez Parée might hire her  :P

Breadman will end up back in chicago eventually...not sure how on the financial sheet, but it will happen.

Perhaps. When that trade first happened it looked ok. But Saad has really become sad the past while.
He is starting to play better lately but Panarin with Kane was dynamite.

Also Panarin has supposedly said he wants to go to a city that will provide a lot of modelling opportunities for his girlfriend.
I'm not sure Chicago fits that criteria.

I do like that risky trade Chicago made the other day.
It will be interesting to see if Dylan Strome can get his shit together or is he just like his brother Ryan who also can't seem to live up to expectations.

Well Toews is having a solid offensive year. They also got Kane  :D
I only seen the highlights but hey Strome got 2 pts. Now Perlini is going to get a shot with Saad and Toews.
This trade could be an absolute steal if both players live up to expectations.

Vegas are starting to play better lately.
Reilly Smith is playing better and he's a real swiss army knife type player. Pacioretty has awoke. Fleury doing his thing while grinning a mouthful of chiclets. Nate Schmidt is back and Alex Tuch is on fire.

Had 10 game per season tickets to the Stars while living in Dallas for a couple years.  The NHL is absolutely my favorite of the major sports to watch in person. 

I get the impression NHL fans tend to appreciate good talent regardless of what bench it’s sitting on. Saw Jaromir Jagr play in Dallas I think last year or the year before.  Got a standing ovation when he scored if I recall correctly. Can’t remember what milestone that represented precisely but the dude definitely showed that experience can counter youthful exuberance in many ways.

That had to be fun to also watch Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin.

It was quite the feat of athleticism from Jagr for him to play at the level he did for so long. His work ethic and off ice conditioning was legendary.
He had his own keys to the Pittsburgh rink and other rinks of teams he played for so he could work out and skate at all hours of the day and night.

For sure, that's more often the case that fans of hockey can appreciate the talent and skill of all players.
I can even appreciate some of the Leafs players  ;D even though I despise the 'team'.

Of course you were! Ever omnipresent.

That had to be fun! Do you get to do that often?

I've only seen one game at the Bell Centre. That was back in 2005 when I had a very long layover in Montreal.
The strangest thing is I cannot remember anything about the game. Just the taxi ride from the airport, walking around and marveling at how many strip clubs there appeared to be and I had a seat way up in the upper portion.
I liked it though because I had a great view of the whole ice. But I have no clue who they played or what happened. Must have been aliens.

I did get to see Michael Ryder's very first NHL game back in Oct. 2003 at the Corel Center.
They had this thing in Ottawa that if they scored 5 goals you could take your ticket to Pizza Pizza for a free slice the next day.

My brother went to school with Ryder as well and played minor hockey with him. It was pure coincidence that I'd see his first game.
I only was acquaintances with him. I was more interested in his sister  ;D

I seen about 10-12 games at the Corel Center in Ottawa from October-January.
Those bus rides to the Corel Center with fans were kind of fun.

I saw a bunch of games at the Forum in 75-78. My roommate was from Philly and always needed someone to watch his back because he insisted on wearing his Flyers jersey. Hadn’t seen a game since until I went to Chicago and St Louis to watch the Hawks and Blues play back to back games.

I love winter. Summer is overrated. I despise the humidity we get in July and August.

Not sure if any development has occurred around there since 2003-04. But at the time the Corel Center was basically out in the middle of nowhere.
There were a few times just an awful smell of skunk permeated the air. I've never experienced anything like it ;D

I think they already have aligned themselves. Think of the modern stances they have now: when it comes to animal rights, racial issues, sexual assault allegations, promoting LBGTIQ sex, cracking down on fighting and hard hits, instant replays, drinking, free speech of players, etc. It actually surprised me when they promoted a bit about the old "Broadstreet Bullies" since bullying is such a no-no now and something always criticized.   ;)

NHL has been long supporting the lgblt-wxyz scene - they wouldn't have the Canadiens or Women's National programs without it. Or Sean Avery.

A game of inches  :o  That could have been very serious. The closet I have ever been to an errant puck was about 20 feet away in the stands. It had ricocheted a couple of times before going over the barrier taking away some of the energy but it still made a mean thud when it hit an empty seat.

Why can't anything just be about sports or the game? Why now do they make the players put rainbow tape on their sticks and have the announcers talk about BLTQI Pride and "game for all" or some crap? Even Obama's own CDC said that roughly 7% of the country "identified" as GLBT. Now that was a decade ago, and there could be some under-reporting, but even IF all the Hollywood propaganda and public education has worked since then it likely has approached even an appreciable minority in the total country's population. So why is every sport, movie, tv show, and school class all about the "pride,", inclusive, and BLTQIG stuff? Even if one ignored the social agenda or desire to stop bullying, or whatever they claim, as a business what is the purpose to promote a sport to an audience that is 1) small and 2) likely doesn't play and not interested in hockey (at least that much?)  If QBLTIs want to be seen as "normal," or whatever, and just "a part of society" than stop pushing your agenda and just enjoy sports without the politics or propaganda. Therein ends the rant.

Good Lord you gotta be kidding! Hawk fans are amongst the worst in the NHL. The only fans even more worthy of the toilet are Flames fans, Flyers fans, and Bruins fans.  Calgary has the most verbose, cocky bastard fans you'll ever have the displeasure of being around. Almost as bad as 2011 Canuck fans.

Hawks fans that go to all the games are assholes. I could never afford to go. My mother was a legal secretary for a mob lawyer and took me to one game in Chicago Stadium the year before the expansion draft. I still have the program. Autographed by legends incuding Bobbie Hull, Glenn Hall, Pat Stapleton, Stan Mikita, Phil Esposito, Doug Jarrett and Eddie “Moose” Vasko. I can still remember looking over at me from up the ramp while she smoked a cigarette. Black high heels and stockings. Black dress. Pearls. A black mink jacket and Platinum Blonde hair done up at the beauty salon. She looked like a mob secretary from one of those cheap detective paperback.

I have been to a lot of games in the Montreal Forum in the last half of the 70’s. Those fans can get pretty obnoxious if you show up to the Stanley Cup playoffs wearing a Flyers jersey.

I got to finally see two Blackhawks games as an adult. A back to back series with St. Louis. One in the new United Center and one in St Louis 2 nights later. I can’t say I remember much about either set of fans other than they sure don’t dress up like they used to in order to get into Chicago Stadium. When I was a kid a man couldn’t get into the mezzanine without a suit and ties and a woman couldn’t get in unless she was in a dress/skirt and heels.

Alright, fine. It is true that our own experiences are indeed OUR own. If you lived up here in western Canada you would know that sports fans from the beautiful LOOKING city of Calgary are deplorable. The Stampeders fans are even worse than the flames fans.

I'm good with review of game winning scoring but throw away all the bullshit ticky tack stuff like 2" offsides.

Replay can be maddening when abused. Someone on a newspaper thread suggested that all replays be reviewed at normal speed; get rid of slo mo. I like that idea, the obvious stuff will get flagged while the micro managed stuff will be inconclusive. That goes for all the sports.

In this particular case with St. Louis, it was obvious at any speed.

B's defense was depleted...Blues gotta keep hammering away.

Usually it's Chara making the dumb, slow plays. Rat face certainly had his f up moments tonight.

Also what the hell are they teaching these young kids now days...take the hit.

After game 1 I thought this was a "best of 1 format" and Boston had won the Cup.

Vancouver will get slammed hard because of this.
The Canucks face a penalty of $2,840,124 to their cap space for each of the next three seasons. Florida’s punishment is $1,287,209 — lower because it did not benefit as much from the contract structure.

Also, the #metoo going on in the NHL with players and coaches, lawd, how far will they go back?! Latest victim was the Stars coach, but they said it was before the current meetings.

I'm still waiting for a healthy Penguins team that fires on all cylinders.  It seems like they've been snakebitten with injuries for an eternity.  I'm glad Malkin is playing well again.  He's one of my favorites.  He had an off year last season, but even still I feel the local press in Pittsburgh criticizes him too much.  It's all about Saint Crosby who does no wrong.   ::)

Aww piss off @ShayP   Check the Hawks latest report.  Just one of them includes  Brent Seabrook having to have operations on both shoulders and hip surgery after that.  I’m guessing career-ending.

You won 2 of the last 4 cups.  I don’t think you are going to find any sympathy from our Canuck friends.  Quit whining.

@KSM OK, you are right. I forgot where I am. This is the NHL thread.
I talk LIVE to real people who play different types of hockey. ::)  I have a habit of saying ICE Hockey and or STREET hockey. It is one of my faults.

My local NHL team always sucks after the Christmas Holidays. Hearing a loss is less painful on the radio.

@Bart Ell I am old. I enjoy seeing some aggression on the ice.  Watching players wearing helmets is not fun for me. I used to recognize players by their hair cuts/styles.
However, I am not a nit wit. I understand and accept concussions are a real and potentially life impacting injury.

@FISH my three teams are 1. Canucks (I'm a BC boy) 2. Oilers (because) 3. I love the Penguins and have since I was four.  And yeah the Flyers were looking so good...  for awhile. They lost again tonight I believe. So I assume you don't root for the Pens when the Flyers are out?

@Bart Ell  Please may your/our Habs beat Vegas on Saturday!!  It'll be good for the CanNuckleheads.

@KSM a few years back some social justice warrior tried to make the Blackhawks change their legendary best of all sports iconic logo.  Although one of the proposed designs actualooks kind of cool, I would cry if they caved to the woke culture.

I used to draw their logos as a kid from memory.  There have subtle changes over the years but basically the same.  Hockey went to shit in 1967.

GS, I really like the 1955. that one is sharp. Woke culture is bunk. I am proudly heavily sedated in the unPC sleeping culture.

When I was in 7th grade I'll admit it - I had a Black Hawks jersey and I wore it all the time. I lasted a day when my parents put me in organized hockey. Didn't go well :-[

@KSM  Oh yeah.  I'm very happy.  I hate the Bruins.  Quite frankly I was ready for the season to go into the pits again due to the injuries.  They've held it together.  I don't care for all the flack Murray is getting from the fans.  I know he hasn't been all that good this year but the kid has 2 Cups under his belt and shit happens.  The boos and jeering were embarrassing.  Yeah, Jarry got an All-Star nod but having two good goalies is a nice "problem" to have.  Yinzers are fickle and I always hated that about the fan base.  Rarely do the majority support a struggling player.  I'm the exception though because I am special.  ;D

Mike Sullivan has done an awesome job as coach this year and Malkin is again showing why he is elite.  I'm starting to 'think big' this season but I'm not getting ahead of myself.  I've been hurt before.   :'(  ;)

Understood.  Nonetheless, he knew what the consequences of his actions could be and he wouldn't face it head on when retribution was at hand.  Hence...pussy.  I give him credit for his offense capabilities.  He wasn't a goon.  However he didn't like to take what he dished out.  ;)

@FISH my three teams are 1. Canucks (I'm a BC boy) 2. Oilers (because) 3. I love the Penguins and have since I was four.  And yeah the Flyers were looking so good...  for awhile. They lost again tonight I believe. So I assume you don't root for the Pens when the Flyers are out?

@Bart Ell  Please may your/our Habs beat Vegas on Saturday!!  It'll be good for the CanNuckleheads.

I hate Philly.  Yes @KSM they have "Crosby Envy."  I also want to say that I hate Philly.  Regarding Gritty...I thought he was a clever, fun, mascot when he first debuted.  No.  I was wrong.  He should be doused with kerosene, set adrift on the Schuylkill river, while the shores are lined with baboons (Philly fans) armed with Roman candles firing them off randomly in his direction.

Growing up in a hockey family back in the day.
No one wanted to play goalie. Goalies always get hurt and it's boring. My brothers and I would listened to the hockey game on the radio. (Life before cable TV.)  A winning combination was formed! Coach Fred Shero, Clarke at center, and Bernie Parent's goal tendering.  Now, everyone wanted to play goalie like Bernie.  "Only God has more saves, then Bernie.”

In my area we have goat races at local breweries. We have“bock” beer/lager festivals. Why goat races at a brewery? Bock is a style of lager brewed in Einbeck. Citizens of Munich pronounced "Einbeck" as "ein Bock" ("a billy goat"). The beer became known as "bock". As a visual pun, a goat often appears on bock labels. 
There is a 3 legged goat, named Peggy who could out run the 4 legged goats. Unique at least.

My passion for hockey has waned this season and I can't put my finger on why.  Typically I'm immersed in the sport overall, I have been for many years, and of course what the Penguins are doing.  Not so much.  I think it's a virus.  Perhaps a bio-weapon used on Penguins fans?  Not sure.  I turned down free tickets to the Caps/Pens game next week.  That never would've happened before.
Ooohh  no ya don't!  You buck up lil camper and pick up that torch. Snap the fuck to it!! pens need you! I need you! *cough* The Calgary Flames need you because nobody else likes them!

Fuck Safety! Those farm boys long ago on a frozen pond in Saskatchewan didn't need any safety!

Welcome to the dark side.  I was a sports fan for a lot of years, going to games, watching games, subscribing to magazines.  I still have all the cards I collected as a kid

At some point it all got so repetitive, forgettable.  I took a look at how much of my free time was spent on this stuff, how unimportant it is.  What finally got me was the baseball strike in 1992 ('93?).  I haven't paid my way into a game since, and I've watched less than a half dozen games. 

I still follow the sports, but more from a position of player movement, team building, and so on.  Just the local teams now.  There are guys winning MVPs and going into the various Halls of Fame that I've never heard of.  That makes me happy.


Same with movies.  The people around me in the theater so often make the experience unpleasant.  So why go?  Seriously.  I've probably gone to see 5 movies in the past 20 years (I did see Ford vs Ferrari, loved it)


I spend that money and time on live music - usually smaller venues with an open dance floor, not the seated area shows.  Going out to dinner, hiking, biking, museums, out door coffee shop... for me much much better.  F**k the ballplayers, f**k Hollywood.

I'm not quite to the dark side yet but I hear it's beckoning call.  Baseball has always been my favorite and like you the strike made me disenchanted and I ignored the sport for 2 years. Then I got the "fever" again and got back into it.  Being a life long Pirates fan you'd think I'd give up.  I would've this year, and was committed to it,  hadn't there been wholesale changes.  The owner cleaned house and I like the new hires.  I wish the owner would sell though.

Also, like you, I enjoy the player movement, team building, etc, in the major sports.  I hate the NBA with a passion but I'll follow the draft and some of the transactions.

Even when I could afford to go to any game I wanted, that interest and desire waned over time.  I go to baseball games and that's it.  The Giants AA team is here and it's a good time and fairly cheap.  I love a day (or evening) at the ballpark.

@FISH I watched the Olympics with casts on both arms.  I was riding #2 on one of the 3 USA four man bobsleds that were going to the Olympics when we tipped over on January 28th. Less than a week before we were supposed to move into the Olympic village.  I had crushed both ulnar nerves.    I cried when USA won the hockey gold but not as hard as when I learned I wasn’t going to be in the Olympics.

Good times.

When I got out of the hospital my pinky and ring fingers were paralyzed on both hands.  We took our four man bobsled and put it on the hockey rink in Lake Placid to see if I could still push and get in the sled.  To this day I swear I could have competed.  I don’t know how bad the others were hurt. I think my driver lost his nerve. I was pumped up on percodan and demerol so maybe that had something to due with my coach’s decision.  In 5 years we didn’t tip over then we tipped over twice within a 4 week period. 

Curling is my fallback sport. I won my first tournament and retired a winner. 

When Ty Babilonia and Randy Gardner took the ice, he skated in circles for like 6 seconds and dropped out because he said he pulled a groin muscle.  I started yelling at the TV.  I was ready to compete with much more serious injuries thanI perceived that he had. 

I should have said yes to a spot on the 76 Summer Olympic team but it would have screwed up my bobsled training. But who the hell wants to be known as a USA Team Handball member? Maybe @Mr. Wonderful, but not me. 

p.s. never buy a hockey stick on ebay with Bobby Hull’s signature on it. I signed more than he did.  I am pretty sure the statute of limitations has run out. I haven’t done that since 1970. It was a good gig while it lasted.

As long as they make it to the playoff, anything is possible.
You have no idea how it feels, season after season. Last summer, I gave my huge Flyers’ flag away to a 10 year old boy. In the past I would fly my flag if my team made it to the playoffs.  I am excited to see the standing in the Eastern Conferences. However I know a how unpredictable a puck will move. I will NOT fly a Flyers Flag. I am too superstitious.

I lost a lot of interest in hockey that year. The Flyers got Lou Angotti that year after a promising start with the Blackhawks. He had probably his best year of his career. He went to Pittsburgh the next year before returning to Chicago for several more years. 

I didn’t hate the Flyers quite as bad as I did the Blues. They got Glenn Hall.  The only game I got to see in person as a kid was in 66/67. The original 6 hockey was the best. I will never forget seeing the likes of the and Bobby And Dennis Hull, Stan Makita, Eric Nesteranko, Doug Jarrett, Pat Stapleton, Moose Vasko, Phil Esposito, Ed Van Imp, Pierre Pilote, Chico Maki, Doug Mohns and Kenny Wharram all skating on the same team. Without helmets. I got all of their autographs in the exit tunnel after the game. I still have that program packed away somewhere.  They weren’t very pretty, I remember that much.

@GravitySucks Sweet Baby Jesus, you are making me think back. No helmets and missing teeth.
I wanted to punch the Boston Bruins in the face. The Montreal Canadiens’ level of talent terrorized me.  I grew up with 3 brothers. My two younger brothers and I loved hockey. We were too broke to go to the games. We would listen to the NHL on the radio. If there was a snow storm, they would open the stadium doors. I loved the free snow storm games. Sometimes, we would buy 1 ticket and take turns going inside to watch the game. Of course each one of us wanted to get inside to watch the 3rd period.

I hope I always remember that night.  You could never get a ticket to a Blackhawks game. My mother worked for a couple of mob lawyers as a legal secretary. One day they gave her tickets in the Mezzanine level so she could take me.  I was 11 or 12.  Those days a man could not get in the mezzanine level without a suit and tie. A woman had to be in a dress.  She made me dress up. I can still picture her standing away from me while I positioned myself for autographs at the loading dock area to the old Chicago Stadium.  She must have been pretty cold in her knee length skirt and high heels with her fake mink stole and pearls. Half of the players were smoking cigarettes as they came outside.

@GravitySucks what a great night for your mother and you. You were both dressed up to see smoking hockey players.
There was a time, you could go to the stadium and wait for the game to start.  After the 1st period, at the “Will Call” window, they would sell some tickets to the game at a discount.

The Penguins continue to play with my emotions.  Plus, Mike Sullivan gets a lot of praise but I'm not fond of him.  Seems to tinker too much when things are going well thus making things go badly.  And when they're bad he doesn't tinker enough.  He's a tinkerer!

The Bart shoots left.
Because we get a hockey stick before he get a baseball bat we also tend to hit left.
That's why most Canadian MLB players hit from the left side even though they are right handed.

In my youth I could play goalie. Those days are long gone.  All I'm capable now is a stay at home defenseman.  Think of a skill set in the likes of Ken Daneyko or Bob Boughner.

I shoot lefty but can play on either side.  Not good at puck handling on the fly but quick with an accurate outlet pass.

''Um, I don't have skates or a stick, and neither does Doug, we have mitts and footballs...''  He was shocked, I can still see the look on his face.  Looking back, we should have - we had the weather for it.

@PB So he the Canadian just assumed that you would naturally or even organically have skates and sticks? Um, I guess I'll apologize for 'em.

Nope, I was born and grew up in Washington State, the snowy eastern side.  The high desert as Art would say.  I've been to Canada maybe a half dozen times - all but one just Vancouver / Victoria - but those are probably the only hosers I've met that I recall right now. 

My Canadian roommate was named Arvin, although he preferred being called something else.  So Arvin it is, but what the hell kind of name was that?

We were routinely playing the other sports, and he really thought we had hockey gear - it took awhile to convince him we weren't just messing with him

Arvin! That's an odd one.  I have an employee named Arden but that sounds better than Arvin. I think the D and the E in Arden can beat up the R and the I in Arvin so it sounds less nerdy.

For the record, I hope you guys kept Arvin down there.

Then, I guess I'd go with some games involving the Nordiques or the Whalers.  I dunno.  Depends on my mood.  Not all would involve the Pens though.  I have a slight fascination with the first group of Russian players (Makarov, et al) so I'd like to see some of their debuts.

@FISH  That was pretty damn funny.  I love when the players are mic'd up.  Telling Johnson to "eat it up" after that hit was classic.  Also the tone of voice of the Pens player telling him to shut up at the end was great.  He was weary of it all.  Konecny did a great job getting under their skin.   ;D

 The Flyers are tied with the Bruins.  Fist of Hate to the BRUINS!

Flyers will have home-ice advantage in the first round against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins had a slightly easier schedule than the Flyers. @ShayP  ;)
The Flyers will also have a few of their key players back from injury if the season does resume in any capacity. James van Riemsdyk is nearing the end of his timetable to recover from a broken finger, and Philippe Myers should be recovered from his fractured patella on his right kneeHere is what Fletcher said when asked about concerns regarding players being more susceptible to injuries that are more common earlier in the season:

THANKS FOR CHEERING ME UP Monsieur BART.

@FISH somewhat. Since 11/2/2016 there has really not been anything for me to look forward to.

I have one rule change recommendation to help make things interesting.

Model it a bit like hockey overtime. If a game goes extra innings, only 7 players may take the field, and the ones that don’t are scratched from the lineup.  This would increase the chances of runs being scored and cut down the average number of extra innings.

How has Jake Arrietta been doing?

I never liked the Phillies growing up. I was really glad when the Cubs got Larry Bowa and Ryne Sandberg though. I really enjoyed watching Ryne Sandberg play.

@ShayP . Philly and Pittsburg have a long history together.
The Philadelphia Quakers were an American professional ice hockey team that played only one full season in the National Hockey League (NHL), 1930–31, at the Philadelphia Arena in Philadelphia. They were the successors of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

I hate Philly.  Yes @KSM they have "Crosby Envy."  I also want to say that I hate Philly.  Regarding Gritty...I thought he was a clever, fun, mascot when he first debuted.  No.  I was wrong.  He should be doused with kerosene, set adrift on the Schuylkill river, while the shores are lined with baboons (Philly fans) armed with Roman candles firing them off randomly in his direction. 

In addition, I hate Philly.

*Disclaimer ~ ShayP isn't usually like this, however a mood strikes me on occasion.  I beg your pardon fellow Ellgabbers.
@ShayP  I told one of my hockey loving brothers about you. Well not you but that I am on a NHL thread. And you accused me of having "Crosby Envy." My brother gave me a hint on how to piss off someone from Pittsburg. You just drop the H. He had to work with a company that was in Pittsburgh. He was surprised that he was so disliked because he was from Philly. In return, he learned how to return the hate dislike.  :)

Now now. @FISH As you can see in that post, it was my response to KSM's suspicion, and my belief, that there is "Crosby envy."  There was no accusation but it could be assumed since I label Flyers fans as one collective.  That lead me into a minor rant about Gritty and Philly...in jest mind you.  I would never hate anyone because they were from Philly or anywhere else for that matter.  I'm sorry your bro had to deal with that.  Trust me, I got shit from people after I moved down here because I'm from Pittsburgh.  I just keep the irrational dislike of the Flyers burning.  That old cross-state rivalry ya know.   :D

Well played on leaving the H out.  ;)  If I was in the 'Burgh and worked with your bro I'm sure we'd get along fine, except for the occasional heated shit talking.  Now I want an Iron City beer.  I do love the stuff.

CHEERS @ShayP .
Philly and Pittsburgh live for the across the state dislike. Many years ago, while being lost and broke in Jersey, we purchased 2 quarts of Iron City Beer. As we tried to find our way back home, we shared our Iron City Beer--no cups. We made up songs for commercials for this beer. Any time I see Iron City Beer, I have fond memories of being lost in Jersey with only a dollar or two in my pockets singing songs about Iron City beer.

The Philly / PittsburgH connection @ShayP .
Of course I was a Reggie Leach fan back in the day. He is perhaps best remembered for being one of only five players, the first Flyer and, to date, only non-goaltender in history to win the Conn Smythe Trophy.
Of course I hate the Pittsburgh Penguins.  ;)
FYI-Leach is of Ojibwe ethnicity, a member of Berens River First Nation in Manitoba. His son, Jamie Leach played in the NHL for parts of 5 seasons, winning the Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1991 and 1992.

Reggie Leach set the NHL records for most goals in a single post-season with 19 in 16 games, surpassing the Montreal Canadiens' Newsy Lalonde's 1919 mark of 17 goals, and longest consecutive games goal-scoring streak in the playoffs at 10, bettering the 7 set by another Canadien, Maurice Richard, as his team went on to be swept in the Final by, ironically, Montreal. @Bart Ell .  ;D > cheesy poutine smile.
The latter record remains unrivaled, but the former was matched by the Edmonton Oilers' Jari Kurri in 1985, although Leach established it in 2 fewer games.

As a mature adult, I will admit I enjoyed watching THE HAMMER.
I never called Reggie Leach any nick names. I loved how he understood how to move that puck. His best season was the 1975–76 season with the Philadelphia Flyers.

Tempting...Hawks have a 2-1 series lead this season. Honestly after all this time off, don't know if I'd want to put money straight up on any one team. Too much uncertainty. Routine plays such a huge part of these players lives, can't imagine trying to fully function as team after all this time off.

So I'm bored without sports, and have always had an interest in sports simulation. I have created an alternate Hockey universe in a program called Franchise Hockey Manager where Bart is the greatest player alive. I wanted to test the simulation engine and see how it would handle an overpowered player. If there's any interest in continuing this I can keep simulating to see if he ever catches Gretzky in terms of all time records.  Just a diversion in the interim until we have actual live sports again. This is at the end of the first season of his career, right before the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

It seems absurd to restart the NHL and NBA seasons.  The players are no longer in late season form, there's little connection now to the seasons of several months ago.  They should just call it and be done.

Besides, to protect us from ourselves apparently we'll never again be able to go out for dinner, go to a movie or concert, or to a sporting event.  In that case, what do we need players making 10s if not 100s of millions of dollars for, or billionaire owners ripping us off on t-shirt sales?

The NHL knows there is a big void in TV programming left by the cancelled 'lympics and a captive audience willing to try new things.

On November 20, 2014, the Columbus Dispatch reported that Johnson had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, claiming just $50,000 in assets against $10 to $15 million in estimated debts. Shortly after signing his first major contract, a seven-year, $30.5 million deal with the Los Angeles Kings, Johnson granted his mother, Tina Johnson, power of attorney over all his finances. Over the next few years, Tina and Johnson's father, John II, took out several large, high-interest loans against Johnson's future earnings, a lending practice known as "monetizing," and spent the money on homes, cars and travel

Quote
Among the instances of abuse outlined by Carcillo in the statement of claim were the following:

* During showers, rookies were required sit in the middle of the shower room naked while the older players urinated, spat saliva and tobacco chew on them. At least once, the head coach (Perry) walked into the shower room while this was occurring, laughed and walked out.

* Rookies were repetitively hit on their bare buttocks with a sawed off goalie stick, developing large welts and open sores. The injuries were so bad that they couldn’t sit down, even while attending local high school classes. They advised team staff of this abuse, which did not stop.

* On road trips, rookies would be stripped naked and sent into the bus bathroom, eight at a time. The older players would tape the boys’ clothes up in a ball, which were thrown into the bathroom. The boys were not allowed out until they were dressed, which could take hours. Older players would pour chew, saliva, and urine on them through the bathroom vents. This took place in front of coaches and trainers.

* Rookies had to bob for apples in a cooler filled with the older players’ urine, saliva and other bodily fluids.

* The older players would put the rookies in a laundry bin on wheels, four at a time. They would run the laundry bin into a wall as fast as it could go. Players suffered injuries including being knocked unconscious. It was called the “Rookie Rocket.”

* Older players would organize orgies at house parties. Rookies were required to take part in sexual acts while the older players watched and took part.

* The head coach walked in on a naked rookie taped to a table with his buttocks in the air. Older players were whipping him with a belt. The head coach took part, whipped the child and laughed while the boy cried.

* The head coach, assistant coaches and league officials knew of the abuse.

* An informal investigation took place by OHL and/or CHL agents, but no findings were released, abusers were not punished and no steps were taken to address the abuse; and,

* Racist, sexist and homophobic slurs were repeatedly directed at rookie players and were used on a daily basis.

It technically is the playoffs.  I still wonder why this format was chosen.  The Pens are a #5 seed and yet they have to go through a "play-in game?"  Nah man.  This is the playoffs no matter how they spin it.  A bastardized form of playoffs, but nonetheless.

You have to compensate teams missing out on the real playoffs in some way.
If Montreal loses to Pittsburgh they will choose 1st or 9th.
If they make the playoffs they will pick anywhere from 16th-31st.
If Pittsburgh loses then they have a shot at 1st, which they would not have had otherwise.
Seems fair to me.

I try to process it but I'm stubborn.  The fact is the Pens have the 8th best record in the NHL.  31 teams in the league.  No way they should qualify for a chance at the 1st overall pick under any circumstance.

This is one reason why I'd never go on a cruise.  I can't imagine being trapped in a bubble with any group longer than, say, a plane ride - let alone with pro athletes.  It's unthinkable.

Penguins captain Sidney Crosby left Saturday’s intrasquad scrimmage midway through the second of two 25-minute segments. He skated off the ice, grabbed his sticks and walked toward the locker room at UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex.

No one specific play stuck out for a reason why Crosby may have left the ice. He did not return.

Penguins coach Mike Sullivan, in accordance with the NHL’s new injury and illness policy during the COVID-19 pandemic, said he was "not permitted to comment."

My classic team of choice were the Hartford Whalers, love the look of the jersey and the team of the mid-80s was a lot of fun with Ron Francis and  Sylvain Turgeon with Mike Liut in the net. But would Whalers be considered an inappropriate name today?

Same with me,  I remember mid-80s mostly, vaguely remember a little bit of early 80s Islanders years.

Dineen alright, but Ray Ferraro and his awesome mustache would be my third guy on the line. Thinking back a young Ulf Samuelsson was a Whaler in the 80s, I don't think he was as much as an a**hole back then, but my bias might have blinded me  :D

True.  But I expect the Pens to shit the bed on occasion.  That's why I wasn't surprised.  The trades the Habs made reaped some future dividends if the draft picks pan out.  I think the Max Pacioretty trade was a win for them getting Tatar, Suzuki, and a 2nd round pick.

The Pacioretty trade was great but that was 2 years ago. It is trading away guys like Kovalchuk, Scandella and Thompson a few weeks before the season was paused that hurts them now. Crosby is feasting on faceoffs, which is where Thompson is really missed.

That's right.  Don't know where my head's at this morning.  I see your point about the players mentioned.  Wasn't Scandella strictly a rental for the Habs anyway? I know he signed long term with the Blues after the trade but I didn't think the Habs wanted to sign him or if he even wanted to stay.  I'm not sure of the circumstance.

Would have been a rental for the playoffs but got traded away once they were out of it. Same for Kovalchuk.

@Bart Ell  @KSM32   Definitely not the result I wanted but I'm not surprised.  Just 3 quick observations...Pens power play is broken, Jack Johnson sucks, and Carey Price was awesome.

I fully expect the Pens to win the next game.
Yes. When Price is On, he's unbeatable.

Awww I put some money on the Ave  8) and Pens   :o combo

The Penguins did not look impressive at all. Those long passes to no where and that last goal from such an odd angle. It looked like that hit that bloodied up that Habs player really sparked the Canadiens.

I cannot express how disappointed I am in the Penguins.  Jack Johnson remains trash.  Patrick Marleau is utterly useless. Malkin leads in shots but has zero goals. I really thought he would be on fire in the playoff.  Sullivan was asked about the poor performance(s) and he said "I don't have an answer." Did he not want to give one or doesn't he know?

Anyway, here's Jack Johnson being interviewed outside the arena.

I was surprised too. Playoffs are strange as you can meet a real hot goalie (which Price has the ability to do) and get eliminated, but it wasn't even that. They just looked so lethargic. There might be a legitimate excuse of the strange pandemic season of having to go straight to the playoffs, that can be a somewhat reasonable excuse.

There might be an age thing coming up, the first two lines almost half are at least 33 (Crosby, Malkin,and Hornqvist) and Pens top defenceman (Letang) is also of that age. That is on average you start seeing a noticeable change in player quality. Of course there are some exceptions to that rule.

This is the second year of playoff disappointment, which at times mean finger pointing, scapegoating and changes

@Zetaspeak  Good points.  Especially the lethargy.  I saw it too.  Age does have a factor, and like you said there are exceptions, but in this instance I think it's "you can't teach a dog new tricks."  Some of the stars of the team won't adjust.  There is so much blame to be placed on this team but I'm inclined to blame the like of the Crosby, Malkin, Letang, and newly acquired Marleau.  I've already trashed the likes of Jack Johnson so I don't want to be redundant.

I gave coach Sullivan praise earlier but I'm starting to think he is not the man for the job anymore.  He either tinkers too much with lineups or just let's thing get stagnant  and expects it all to work out.  But it doesn't.

The Pens need wholesale changes.  They really do.  Obviously Crosby stays, but if I could I'd jettison Malkin, Letang, and Murray.  Plus let the free agents walk a way.   Malkin has a no-movement clause so he will be tough to trade unless he approves.  It's time to get some assets for the future.  Murray is a young goaltender with success and I think half the teams would be interested.  Jarry is more than capable to start full time.

The Penguins have had an amazing 14 year playoff streak. They have been the elite team of a decade and a half. But it is a bit of a monkey paw situation because they haven't had their own draft pick being better than the Top -20 since 2006, that has to catch up eventually.

Of course that means they will win the qualifiers losers lottery for first overall draft pick like they did with Crosby and go right back to being elite next season  :o

NHL puts teams in cities that have zero interest in hockey I swear. Columbus is actually a decent city compared to some areas.

Raleigh you could literally get tickets in craigslist for free, the panthers, Arizona, etc.

It’s been a good while since I watched hockey.  I watched the second period and second and third overtimes of the Columbus Tampa Bay game.  It struck me that icing was rarely used as a defensive tactic.  Also, that so few penalties were called. I guess that’s what you get when you do away with goons.

I like the usual suspects when it comes to domestics, but I do not like Budweiser.  I like Lagers, Pilsners, and and a few Ales.  I hate IPA's.  :P

This playoff is tough as I really don't have a rooting interest at all. I might be cheering for the Avs but they are already down 0-2 and really blew it yesterday

@KSM32 you have one good game and you’re going to
get all uppity?
Several good games. They knocked out the defending champions in a convincing way. I am however under no illusions, they have a huge hill to climb in this undeserving Vegas team.

AND BTW.  I've been quite vocal about rooting the Aves. AS WE SPEAK! @PolkaDot

If the Flyers were true to their non RACIST fans, they would have suited up for game on August 27, 2020.
The New York Islanders would forfeit the GAME
AND the FLYERS would have won the series.

I just feel bad for the tasty Canadian folks up north that have had to submit to the humiliation of the cultural appropriation of their national sport by their unwashed neighbors to the south. Will they ever win it this century?

I got that jersey back when The Flames were my western team in the late 80s. I can still list the players off the top of my head. Lanny, Gilmour, Fleury, MacInnis, Nieuwendyk and Vernon in net.

The border will still be an issue I assume. I wonder if they will have a Canadian division with it's 7 teams and the remaining 24 American teams get put in 3 divisions of 8 and play each other. 4 teams from each division make the playoffs

Canadian Division - Canucks, Flames, Oilers, Jets, Leafs, Sens, Habs

Northeast - Bruins, Rangers, Islanders, Devils, Sabres, Capitals, Penguins, Hurricans

The West - Sharks, Kings, Ducks, Knights, Coyotes, Avs, Stars, Wild

The Rest - Panthers, Lightning, Preds, Blues, Blackhawks, BlueJackets, RedWings.

You can do old fashion divisional playoffs than with 1vs 4 and 2vs 3 in each division. The first travel across border doesn't have to happen until the semi-finals which will be around May, hopefully things are more open up by then. I think that could work pretty well, Canadian teams will have to travel alot of cross country but if you keep all the American teams playing within the division for the regular season there's not a lot of travel there, especially for the northeast teams.

Aquilini is the owner of the team.

Dumbest move since Charles Prévost Linton (former Canadiens anthem singer) decided it would be smart to do a Budweiser commercial... did I mention Geoff MOLSON owns the team?

The border will still be an issue I assume. I wonder if they will have a Canadian division with it's 7 teams and the remaining 24 American teams get put in 3 divisions of 8 and play each other. 4 teams from each division make the playoffs

Canadian Division - Canucks, Flames, Oilers, Jets, Leafs, Sens, Habs

Northeast - Bruins, Rangers, Islanders, Devils, Sabres, Capitals, Penguins, Hurricans

The West - Sharks, Kings, Ducks, Knights, Coyotes, Avs, Stars, Wild

The Rest - Panthers, Lightning, Preds, Blues, Blackhawks, BlueJackets, RedWings.

You can do old fashion divisional playoffs than with 1vs 4 and 2vs 3 in each division. The first travel across border doesn't have to happen until the semi-finals which will be around May, hopefully things are more open up by then. I think that could work pretty well, Canadian teams will have to travel alot of cross country but if you keep all the American teams playing within the division for the regular season there's not a lot of travel there, especially for the northeast teams.

You may have called it ....

The juniors have been a slice. The UNBEATEN Canadians await the Americans or the Fins for the gold game. So for that game I'm pro USA all the way. Makes for a better Gold medal game that way too.  I hate it when Euro's take gold but at least the Russians chance was utterly destroyed today with a 5 ZIP final score at the hands of the Red n White.  :)

Supposedly this is just going to be for this upcoming season only.  I sure hope so.

“It’s sort of the history of all the past Montreal Canadiens goalies and all of their information being pumped directly into the brain of Carey Price, which is sort of this half-human, half-machine goalie beast,” Bourgeault said in a phone interview. “That’s the idea. He’s a machine/man made to block pucks and he’s got all that past information helping him.

“My favourite parts are those historical elements,” Bourgeault added. “The circuit board, which says Montreal Canadiens Goaltender Power System, has Patrick Roy, Jacques Plante, (Georges) Vézina, Ken Dryden, and some of the wiring for that goes directly into the brain of Carey Price and also runs up to the camera eye. The camera eye is an acronym for Habs — which is Habitants Archival Blocking System. So he’s getting information from the past pumped to him to help him be this ultimate goalie. And in that camera eye you see the reflection of Rocket Richard. I just thought it was a cool way to tie in the Montreal Canadiens, especially since I knew there might be some haters out there because it wasn’t a giant Montreal Canadiens logo on the mask.”

Yay!  It's been clear to me for years (decades?) the Sharks are going to underperform in the playoffs as long as they have Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau skating around for them.  So good, maybe they can do something this year.

ONE of the things I'm pissed about is that we're missing out on some great rivalry games. HABS vs Briuns for example. So many age old rivalries that have made for such great entertainment in the past. And some of the newer ones as well. But not this year, not as much anyway.

JAMIE RIVERS:
THE DEATH CERTIFICATE

As told to: Joe Pack
http://slapshotdiaries.com/the-death-certificate/


I was unrestricted and unsigned and it was getting late in my career. I pretty much knew that a one-way ticket in the NHL was not gonna come and a two-way contract was not what I was looking for. I was trying to earn a higher paycheque and going over to Europe can provide that sometimes.

I decided to play in an Austrian league and Ted Sator, who was a former St. Louis Blues coach back when I was drafted there in 1993, was the coach of a Croatian team and offered me a contract and I said,

“Why not?”

I went over there and after the first few games, my wife flew over with my kids who were on holiday for Christmas and New Years. The night before they were headed back to the United States, we played a game. On the first shift of the second period, I told my centreman, “Instead of covering your guy, just let him go. I’m gonna step up and rock him.” And the guy did just what I anticipated: he went up the middle and I drilled him. A real high-impact hit. So high that it knocked him out cold. Out cold and on the ice for a couple minutes. I didn’t really feel anything; I’ve hit guys before and a lot bigger in the NHL. But his head hit me in the sternum because his head was down – a hit which probably would have gotten me fives games and a fine now. He left the game and didn’t come back while I finished the game with an assist and we ended up winning.



We get back on the team bus and I start to feel tired. Anyone who’s known me over the course of my career knows that doesn’t just happen. Riv is never tired, especially after the game. I grabbed a pillow, laid down on the bus and I was out cold. Frank Banham asked if I was alright and I said, “Ah, I’m fine, just tired. Gotta get the family off to St. Louis tomorrow morning.”

Banham said, “Oh, ok.”

After dropping the family off at the airport, I went to my apartment to have a nap. I was tired which, again, didn’t make sense to me. When I woke up, I could barely move. So much pain, all through my body, I thought maybe I had the flu.

Banham lived next to me and came over to ask if I wanted any food.

He said, “You look terrible. You look like you’re dying.

“Maybe you want to call the trainer or go to the hospital,” he continued. I bit the bullet and called the trainer who spoke very little English but knew enough that I needed to go to the hospital. When we got there, no one spoke English, so it was like charades trying to explain what happened to me.

After ultrasounds and x-rays and lotsa stuff, the doctor told me I was bleeding internally, severely, and that they were going to have to open me up to see what was going on. There was too much blood for them to see anything.

My wife was still travelling and had been all day, trying to reach me by phone. She was traveling to St. Louis with our four kids while I was being wheeled into the operation room. The room was underground and I started to have visions of the movie Hostel. As I was talking to my wife on the phone, I was laid out on a steel table while the doctors shaved my chest area. The doctor made the motion that it was time to get off the phone and I told her, “I have to go. They’re gonna put me under so they can figure it out,” and she said, “when will I talk to you next?” I really had no idea. She’s panicking because she can’t do anything, can’t get back to me, and I’m by myself in a country where nobody speaks English.

I woke up from the operation without a stitch of clothing on me, and I’d gone in there fully clothed. Nothing on me, no wires or equipment, no blanket or pillow. I tried to get up, which hurt, and I kind of made a noise. Ten people in the room stopped, looked at me, and then came over in a rush.

Two weeks after that, they let me out of the hospital because I could walk on my own. I went to the rink and started getting ready for practice. In my mind I thought, “I can at least go out there and push pucks and stay involved.” The trainer started freaking out, waving his arms, and I had no idea what he was saying. Finally, one of the managers who spoke English and Croatian came in and told me to back to the hospital. I listened but nobody had told me anything.

We had a sit-down meeting with the operating doctor who told me that I had lost so much blood that during the procedure I flatlined and they couldn’t get me back.

I said, “What do you mean?”

Then I remembered all of those burn marks on my chest. The doctor told me they were zapping me with the paddles and nothing was happening. Two of the surgeons, after a minute and a half, walked away and said “We’re done.”

I flatlined for two minutes and 22 seconds. They found that my spleen had burst and the doctor said it looked like a bomb went off inside. I said, “Well, why did I wake up (the way I did)?”

He said, “The people in the room didn’t think you were alive.”

They gave me the death certificate and the doctor said, “I don’t really know what to do with this so I’m going to put it in with your stuff.”

I sat there kind of giggling because in my mind, it wasn’t real.

It was 36 hours before my wife heard anything. She was freaking out, trying to call anybody on the team, emailing people. The doctor took it upon himself to call her which, as much as he was trying to help, he probably poured a ton of gasoline on the fire by trying to explain. She thought he was telling her I was dead.

I don’t have any complaints because obviously I’m alive to tell the story. But all of that led to my retirement because there were no teams that wanted to sign me based on insurance purposes. I’m not angry about anything they did but I look like Freddy Krueger or Edward Scissorhands got a hold of me.

My friends know me as a lighthearted guy but that really messed with me. I wasn’t ready to leave the game of hockey. It was a retirement that was forced upon me and it sure would have been nice to go out on my terms.

When I came back I thought, can I get my life insurance? But in the fine print the death certificate says, “The deceased must remain deceased.”

This year feels a bit off and I'm not enjoying it as much. The other night I went out to watch the game and I was sitting at the bar watching the game, which by the way, stayed 0-0 until the last few minutes of the third period. I had my earbuds in listening to the game so no one would try and chat me up, but OH no!
Guy taps me on the shoulder, "What are you listening to?"

Me, looking at him like he has lost his damn mind and pointing at the tele, "Avs"

Guy, "Oh yes, I was wondering why you were watching the game and had in your headphones.....blah, blah, blah...."

Me, "Yes, I like listening to the game and this one doesn't seem to be getting anywhere"

Guy, "Blah, blah, blah, explain to me how this season is going to be played...."

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS!?!?!  I'M NOT GOING TO FUCKING EXPLAIN HOCKEY TO YOU WHILE I'M OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO WATCH THE GAME!!!

Our county opened up to 25% capacity. Thank goodness! I like being able to go out and about even when we are all wearing diapers on our faces.  ;)

Stupid texts during the game, LOL, ya I do that too.  ;D

Smitten? Maybe...some guys just like to flirt and talk up women, it's like a past time. He was decently smooth so I think he was just one of those. He was with his girlfriend earlier in the night and she apparently left maybe 10 minutes earlier (I honestly thought she'd gone to the bathroom, so I was even more irritated  ::) that he was talking to me). You know the type, generally harmless but rather self confident older men who like to hit on women who are younger than them to see what they can get away with.

Title: Re: The NHL Thread

This pleases me:

The Pittsburgh Penguins have named Ron Hextall as general manager and Brian Burke as president of hockey operations, it was announced today by co-owners Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle.

In their new roles, Hextall will oversee the Penguins' day-to-day hockey operations, reporting to Burke as his primary advisor. Burke will report to David Morehouse, the team's president and CEO.

"We feel incredibly lucky to bring in two highly-respected executives with a combined 50-plus years of NHL management experience," Morehouse said. "Ron and Brian are well-known in the hockey world as fierce competitors with championship pedigrees. They're very well-connected and experienced in all aspects of the game. They are both excited to get to work here in Pittsburgh, blending their skills and building on our long tradition of success."

Hextall, 56, an elite NHL goaltender in his playing days, has been in NHL management for more than twenty years, including a four-year stint as GM of the Phildelphia Flyers from 2014-2018. He also was assistant general manager of the Los Angeles Kings from 2006-2013, helping the Kings to their first Stanley Cup in 2012. He began his post-playing career as a scout for the Flyers in 1999.

Burke, 65, a Harvard Law School graduate, has spent 31 years as an NHL executive and won the Stanley Cup as general manager of the Anaheim Ducks in 2006-2007. He also served as general manager of the Hartford Whalers and the Canucks; president and general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs; and president of hockey operations for the Calgary Flames. From 1993-1998 he was executive vice president and director of hockey operations for the NHL, working closely with commissioner Gary Bettman.

Patrik Allvin, who became interim GM of the Penguins when Jim Rutherford resigned on January 27, will resume his role as assistant general manager under Hextall and Burke.

"It's an honor to be joining the Pittsburgh Penguins - an organization well-known for its excellence on and off the ice," Hextall said. "I look forward to working with ownership, Brian and the entire organization toward the ultimate goal of bringing another Stanley Cup to Pittsburgh."

I heard former All Pro tackle Leon Searcy (Steelers, Jaguars, Ravens) on the radio the other day.  He was from Orlando and attended The U (Miami) and was a first round pick for Pittsburgh.  In his rookie season, he was eating at a nice restaurant when the waiter interrupted him and said a fan would like to meet him. Leon accompanied the waiter back to a private dining room, met the fan who was named Mario, shook a lot of hands and had a lot of pictures taken before returning to his dinner.

Two days later he found out who Mario Lemieux was.

nice story.

Last night I was talking hockey talk with a person much younger than me. I asked him what did he think of HEXTALL as the new GM. He explained to me that Ron Hextall has calmed down over the years. After a few minutes he noted that watching the FLYERs play hockey is kind of boring. No passion.  ::)

I have a very vague memory of seeing a Junior game with Pat LaFontaine playing against Mario Lemieux. It could have been the last game of the season and I believe they were battling for the Jean Béliveau Trophy.

I may look it up to see if this is a fake childhood memory.

It is a long story.
Over 2 months ago, I picked up a new cable box to watch the GAME. After setting up the new cable box, my tv “got” broke. My NEW TV did not fit on my old tv stand.
My brother and I built a new addition for my old TV stand. Last night, I applied the last coat of polyurethane to my improved tv stand. My new tv is still in the box. We were going to set up the new tv and new cable connection this weekend for the GAME on Sunday…and so it goes on and on.   
 
Thanks for the cold water in my face. @Bart Ell

Before going to valentines dinner we stopped at an Irish pub that had the pens - caps game on.  This photo was taken minutes before games end as the caps timed out to scratch their little heads in hopes of that eureka moment that would save them from the 6-3 loss.

it was not to be.

PS  the two guys on the left were father and son from what I figure as the father was explaining to the son why he is not in the will and his sister IS!   Maybe the son was rooting for the caps?

oH NO!

I grew up poor...but I / we did not know that.
There were times, when two of my brothers and I would buy one hockey ticket. Yep, we were that broke. The 3 of us would take turns watching the game in person. I would ask to watch the second period. I would stand in the cold during the 1st and 3rd period. We did not have a car, so you had to stand outside the stadium and WAIT.  I would prayed that the game would not got into OT.  If there was a heavy snow storm, our local stadium would open the doors. A FREE NHL game for all  We would suit up in our winter gear and take bus ride to watch a NHL game in person. I saw Gordie Howe play hockey at one of those FREE SNOW games.  I learned to follow hockey by listening to the radio. Gene Hart was a perfect sports announcer and teacher. (We were too broke for any type of cable tv in our home.)
Sometimes, I would dream about being a hockey player for the NHL. I was one of the fastest skaters on the ice in my dreams.  ;D
Tonight, I plan to watch--The Rocket: Maurice Richard (2005)
Despite all the troubles in this crazy world and my old age. I still love hockey. For the record, I am not too fond of the NHL and all their crybaby habits.
carry on @KSM .

Dallas Stars were all ready to play it looks like on the 15th but twitter mob were freaking out that they were using energy while they are blacked out so they postponed games for the week (4 games in total) Next week they go on the road until Thur March 4th.

Not sure how I feel about that, there's no fans in the arena anyway so couldn't they play with limited lights?

I hate the woke twitter mob. This woke mob wants you locked up in your home while wearing a mask or two. So many of us are isolated in their home with snow surrounding their property. Watching a hockey game is good for your mental health. I really enjoy my hate for the Boston Bruins.  @Zetaspeak , does the woke hateful MOB hate the NHL? I would think snowflakes would love the ICE.

NHL outdoor games in Nevada this weekend.  the Colorado Avalanche and Las Vegas Golden Knights are playing on Saturday Feb. 20. The Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers are playing on Feb. 21.
Both games will take place on the 18th fairway of the Edgewood Tahoe Resort Golf Course in Stateline, Nevada.

He can play on his knees and stay on his knees in his puck-blocking position. He doesn’t have to move much. The more he moves, the more he opens himself up. The more athletic he is, the more tempted he is to move, and the more he moves, the more trouble he creates for himself.

Could or will @Bart Ell  explain to me the meaning of the word "Anglophones." I watched this movie last week "The Rocket: Maurice Richard (2005)." I do not really understand French, however, I know how to read subtitles. I used to visit Old Quebec City and Montreal a lot. Since I studied Latin in school, I was Ok with reading a French Menu.  During my early trips to up North, I never stopped to visit Toronto. I saw no reason to visit.
Why do I love Quebec City and not Toronto?

@KSM  Aside from shit talking I've never had a problem with Philly fans.  I haven't personally been involved nor witnessed any physical altercations with Philly fans.  A buddy of mine worked at the Civic Arena years ago and he would tell me some stories of fights between Pens and Flyers fans.  Didn't happen that often though.  Of course when it did it was from people having beer muscles.

Tom Wilson is human filth.  Hextall needs to find some players that get the Pens bigger and tougher because they are, and have been for quite some time, too soft.  I want Wilson to get the same treatment Darius Kasparaitis gave Lindros in 1998.

In my area, ice skating rinks are shared the same areas with everyone.
They go from hosting a hockey game to figure ice skating. Same locker rooms for ALL.

@PolkaDot  good morning from Philly.
My HATE for the Boston Bruins goes back to 1974. The 1974 Stanley Cup Final was contested between the Bruins vs the Flyers. The Flyers defeated Boston! We won the CUP.
Last night, as I watched the game with the Bruins, it seemed as if the refs were in love with the Bruins. Penalties against the Bruins were not called.
While in OT, somehow—some way, justice was served to the Bruins. Patrice Bergeron (Boston) falls down.  A “much luck bomb." Philly scores and wins in OT.

The Canucks are primarily made up of American and Swedish players. Only 3 natural Canucks on the team so they really should change the name.  But for now I guess they're the Vancouver Covicks.  ;D

@PolkaDot  good morning from Philly.
My HATE for the Boston Bruins goes back to 1974. The 1974 Stanley Cup Final was contested between the Bruins vs the Flyers. The Flyers defeated Boston! We won the CUP.
Last night, as I watched the game with the Bruins, it seemed as if the refs were in love with the Bruins. Penalties against the Bruins were not called.
While in OT, somehow—some way, justice was served to the Bruins. Patrice Bergeron (Boston) falls down.  A “much luck bomb." Philly scores and wins in OT.

Hello! *waves back* to @FISH

I'm going to have to duck as the hate flies at me from every direction for saying this....

BUT....

I kinda like the Bruins. *ducks* Strictly because Boston is such a hockey town. It's so fun to see the fans out and about when I'm in town, whole families all decked out- even for the late games. It's great. Makes me smile every. damn. time.

Good win for the Flyers.  Good game overall.  Carter Hart was good for a change.  Head injuries are no joke.  Anytime a player goes down like that you got to feel for them.  The Pens v. Flyers rivalry is classic, but to me it lost it's luster over the years. I simply can't foment the hate anymore.  Aside from that, hockey players show a lot of class when an opponent gets hurt.  (fights are an exception) 

Regardless of how I feel about the rivalry, I welcome your hate.  :D  @FISH  I enjoy our back-and-forth.  Cheers to you!  :) :-*  Oh...I also appreciated the H that you added.  ;)

I never realized Marleau was approaching that milestone.  They should subtract the games he "played" with the Pens though.  >:(  He didn't offer anything while  on the ice.  But seriously, that was a cool tribute and I don't think anyone will break his record. 

I used to have his rookie card.  I sure do wish I still had it.  Along with the Gretzky one too.  I have so much regret.  I hate to think about it.  :'(

Flyers trounce the Pens 7-2.  Funny how Malkin returns and the chemistry is off.  He's off.  Granted he had a month long injury but he still is doing the same stuff before that...and none of that was good.  They lacked effort and that's why they will lose in the 1st round of the playoffs.

I've always been a Geno fan but it's time to let him go back to Russia.  I don't think he wants to be here anymore.  He has a full no trade clause and he has no value unless he plays well, which he hasn't this year.

All the Yinzers were talking Stanley Cup when the Pens got hot.  Not me.

https://twitter.com/FlyersNation/status/1389740082924560386

Thrown out of the game? @FISH  I guess you didn't see Crosby get his head subtly slammed to the ice once his helmet came off?  ::)  I'm glad Crosby did what he did.

From what I've read, Friedman was disliked by some of the Flyers because he had an attitude problem while he was with the team.  I'm guessing that's why Gostisbehere crosschecked him into the boards and then in a different incident Friedman dropped the gloves with Joel Farabee. 

Aside from all that, why is the league allowing Tom Wilson to get away with his bullshit?  Why does Gostisbehere have a hearing with the league's Department of Player Safety but Wilson got away with acting like a psycho against the Rangers?  He didn't have a hearing.

I will again express my intense hatred for Tom Wilson.  Human filth.  He acts like a tough guy but runs away when someone like a Ryan Reaves goes after him.  Speaking of Reaves, it still bugs me that the Penguins paid a high price to get him, didn't utilize him like they should (screw Mike Sullivan), and then traded him for nothing.

A WITNESS CHAIR. Last night, I sat in a SPECTRUM chair that witnessed the Flyers huge wins against the Bruins in 1974, the Sabres in 1975 and the RED ARMY in 1976.  The Flyers often topped off their wins at the Spectrum.
I watched the end of the game last night at the official practice facility of the Philadelphia Flyers.

I went to the first two games in that Finals at the Montreal Forum.

Ken Dryden was the goalie. He helped them win a total of 5 Stanley Cups.

I was not a fan of either team. The Canadiens had beaten my Blackhawks (whose goalie at one time was Dave’s brother Ken) in the first round. My Air Force barracks roommate was from Philly. He bought my ticket and paid for everything to get me to go up there with him as a bodyguard because he wore his Flyers jersey. I didn’t have to womp on anyone but as we were on the very top row near a concession stand, he did get a few beers accidentally spilled down his back. I was actually glad the Flyers lost both games. I didn’t really want to spend the night in a Montreal jail.

Hard for me to predict but I'm going with Tampa.  IF Malkin gets into form, Kris Letang cuts out the mistakes, and the Pens keep up the pace I can see them winning it.  I'm doubtful though.  However I have a little feeling they may get there.  I also have a feeling the Islanders bounce them out of the first round.   :-\

I'm seeing some of the same old habits that previously doomed them in the playoffs. @FISH  When they were seeded against the Islanders I had a bad feeling.  The Pens aren't getting pucks in deep, they are allowing the Isles to forecheck the crap out of them, Malkin returns but he hasn't been himself (injury or not) all season.  Letang was playing brilliantly but his poor decision making returned.  The 1st line...Crosby's line...has done squat.  I fully expect Sullivan to start tinkering with the lines again and that rarely works for them during the playoffs.

I'm not losing hope though.  I've just seen this movie before.  ;)

Not sure if they will block it for you or not.

In the English one Roy scores 9.



The French one is better because Roy says he thinks the goalie will be good for another 2 championships after Tremblay tells him his goalie must be tired after letting in 9.

Let’s Go Habs. Dig out your jerseys.
@ShayP , I know you are disappointed in me for jumping on the Habs’ band wagon. Here is the thing—the FLYERS have a long history with Quebec/Montreal.
I am a SUPERSTITIOUS lady. I will not express my feeling about game 7. Not here or anywhere.

He scored at 15:15 in OT.
It was the 15th shot of OT.
He ended the game with exactly 15:00 of ice time.

This is some BIG TIME WOO! @Bart Ell

At first, I did not understand Hockey. Many years ago, my brother and I would go into the kitchen to listening to the GAME on the radio. ME- “What is a blue line? My brother –“shut up and just listen.” One night, I would not stop talkin. My brother yelled-THAT’S IT! We are going to see this game in person. The first time I walked into the SPECTRUM, I was in awe. To see the players on ice, touched my being.
Eventually, I became superstitious before and after a big GAME. I do not make prediction about the game.
To this day, if the game is too exciting, I go back into my kitchen and just listen.

Canada’s national anthem can be heard at every game the Jets play. At home, and sometimes away, crowds full of enthusiastic fans shout “True North” much louder than they sing the rest of the words.

On February 17, 1968, a strong current of air had torn the upper covering off of the Spectrum’s structure and violently threw a section of it into the parking lot. The Flyers made their interim home at Le Colisee in Quebec City.

On March 1, 1968, a cold front moved into South Philly. The powerful force tore a gaping hole into the Spectrum's roof and would force the Flyers to play the remainder of their regular-season home games in Toronto, Quebec, and Madison Square Garden.
March 30, 1968, the Flyers hosted the Penguins  @ShayP at Le Colisée in Quebec City.

Boston looks really good on the right side. They been super hot since picking up Taylor Hall. Tampa had Stanley Cup success not that long ago, but the Bruins seem super strong.

The Avs offense is on another level, they are so fast. Habs has an experience clutch goalie. I think these two meet at the semi, slight edge to Avs, but very close.

I still remember those Whalers vs Bruins and Habs vs. Nordiques were always so much fun. Flames/Oil, Leafs/Hawks, Philly/Penguins just great stuff. And bring back cool names instead of geographic stuff.

The Hurricane choked big time today. Giving up a 4-2 lead that quick ouch. Is this Habs/Jets series really exposed how awful Edmonton was? How do you get swept by the Jets who look so average this round.

I will never attend the CN tower again the rest of my life

Montreal is not Canada’s team! Never will be no matter what happens this year. I do not support lighting the CN tower for a rival team.

Harder to be any more embarrassed than I was before, and I say this as someone who actually supported the Toronto Maple Leafs, but this takes the cake.

Seriously someone should get fired for even thinking this up let alone ACTUALLY DOING IT

You embarrassed and shamed every Leaf fan. That you would think this is a good idea is unbelievable, this is a beautiful symbol of making the Leafs, their fans and the city a complete joke.... did you ever wonder if anyone other rival in any sport would do this, I’ll help you. No

See that buffer between the players and the fans?
That is as close as the players want to get to the unwashed, maskless masses.

Teams that win Game 1 are 108-50 (.684) winning a best-of-7 NHL semifinals

So many team mascots end up in the orphanage. They are often treated like an old rag. For example, Youppi was with the Montreal Expos.
“They” placed him in the orphanage.  After living with the other orphans, he was eventually adopted by the Montreal Canadiens.

He's home.
I don't think calls are helpful due to the broadcast delay.
At most he would be consulting with the eye in the sky who would pass on info but there would be no real time help.

It's 2 years in a row they are in the playoffs without their head coach.
Last year it was Kirk Muller replacing Claude Julien.

Excellent catch Your Grace, I was so stunned by the goal that I didn't remember Pierre's astute observation. It isn't enough that Pierre is a dick, he also looks like one with his bald head.
Marc-Andre was the Habs best player last night.

So Fleury stepped up and out with 1:55 minutes remaining.

Can't believe that I am pulling for the Canadiens [them being the Lesser Satan, compared to Toronto being the Great Satan] but I am. Growing up on the border, I watched a lot of CBC and thus some CFL. Small league with two teams named "Rough Riders".  Heck, I even know who Zenon Andrusyshyn is.

Good Lord, I am trying not to yell @KSM
As per yahoo sports “Sometimes the blame is justified, and in Game 4 it certainly was.
The outrage over referee Chris Lee’s performance on Sunday was colossal. Calls for him to never be in charge of another NHL game were spewing out of Quebec like gravy over fries and curds. Missed calls all over the ice were the prime contributors to the Canadiens’ 2-1 overtime loss.
Just an absolute disaster. Good lord.”

Dear @KSM
I have MUCH DISMAY to express. We are united against the VGKs. I hope @PolkaDot joins in. During a game I am as quiet as a mouse.

Why do I hate VEGAS? Their spectators are morons. They don’t even know how to follow the game. They just scream to scream. They are clueless.   At first, I thought it was great to see the Fortress at full capacity. Watching and LISTENING to the game was super annoying in Vegas. Playing hockey takes second place. At one point I was waiting for JAMES BROWN to be flown down on a platform from the rafters.
 
After leaving Vegas, the Habs coach tests positive for COVID-19. Now he is in a hotel room for 14 days. The Fortress is full of fifty, screaming spitting fans.
The NHL Refs Suck. Not one penalty called on the VKN during this series. How it that even possible? The HABs know to keep their mouths shut or else!  Corey Perry looks like ‘Jake Gittes’ (Jack Nicholson )  from the movie CHINATOWN.
The officiating in the NHL playoffs and in particular during this Vegas vs Montreal series STINKS. I almost believe that the BIG MONEY people do not want the Canadiens to win. So far, this series has not passed the FISH test.  >:(

I’ll always root for an original 6 team. Well unless that happens to be the Leafs, Bruins or Rangers.

I’d like to see Montreal get a chance at the cup. Been a long time. I’ve seen more games in the Forum than anywhere else. But I’m not full on jumping on some Molson Beer wagon. Not yet anyways.

I'M NOT A CRY BABY!
ON MAY 22, 2021 I jumped on the HABs bandwagon. The FLYERs were banished. On May 25th, the BART accused me of bring my Philly bad luck to the Canadiens. My response was to HOLD FAST. Years ago I wanted to move to the Canadian province of Quebec. I have hosted Winter parties in my home. We have a ‘street hockey’ game outdoors. Inside my home, homemade poutine, French onion soup and Quebec's Caribou drink. I play French-Canadian music. Also, I have fun stuff in my home from Canada.

Actually, I don’t feel like I jumped on a wagon. I just refocused my attention. I can’t imagine not FOLLOWING THE PLAYOFFS. I was following the HABs by listening to the games on the radio. An anonymous EllGabber gave me a free upgrade so I could actually WATCH the game.
Youppi! and I like to eat pretzels rods during the game.

No idea about Georgie but the other idiot may be.
It's not even about what he believes, if a number of players test positive then the team has to forfeit the series.
The owner must be pleased seeing him act like an idiot knowing it could cost his team like that.
His own goalie cried about how tough the measures have been on him and the fat piggy GM puts himself above the team.
If he couldn't be bothered to follow NHL protocol in the arena you can just imagine what he is like with no cameras around.

Talk about spoiled. I am obviously very comfortable in my decision to root for the Habs.

BTW Canada should close their borders and have Montreal play the next two games in Vegas. Seems like visitors advantage
@Zetaspeak I don't like following the games in VEGAS. The atmosphere at T-Mobile Arena - a.k.a "The Fortress" is so annoying.  The Bell Centre in Montreal is the best arena in the NHL.

The next game in on June 24th - Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day.
Expect insanity.
Kelly Sutherland and Eric Furlatt were good refs last night. The players knew what will and will not be called. I hope these guys are coming to Montreal.
I can't imagine your plans for Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day @Bart Ell .

@ShayP  OH BOY!
BEER CANS?  That is beyond dumb shit. The majority of the Islanders’ fans live on Long Island, close to the Coliseum. NO public transportation to that arena.  I bet those drunks drove home in their MACHINES.
During the 2nd period, I believe I heard the spectators chanting ‘F&^K  YOU  TAMPA.’ That crowd was getting drunk.  They still sells beer in cans at the Coliseum?  ::)
Over the years, we have seen some crazy things throw onto the ICE.  I have thrown a teddy bear down to the ICE during a Philadelphia Phantoms fund raiser.

Fête nationale du Québec is what it is called now and is not meant for des têtes carrées like me.

We are heading out for some smoked meat, visiting some family and then heading to the game.

Tomorrow we will pick up some stuff we can't get at home and then make the drive back.

1-You and yours are going back to the Centre Bell tonight? :o 
2-The National Day of Quebec.  :)
3-Speaking of  ‘square heads.’ I wonder how the players get their ADIDAS jerseys over their huge melons. Tight collars and stupid laces.
4-TOMATOE PIE in Philadelphia? More pizzas than you can shake a stick at. PIZZA is KING in South Philly. Many years ago, during the Winter Carnival in Old Quebec City, a pizza shop had a sign on the door “four en briques.” The pizza was outstanding. The owner of the shop heard us speaking Philly English. He stopped by our table. He told us he was born and raised In South Philly.

I thought I was but I would love to see Montreal fans take over the arena in Tampa.

To be honest @KSM , I'm not a big fan of hockey teams located in cities without snow. I understand it is good for the league and hell, the Hurricanes play just around the corner from me. It doesn't seem right somehow. So I guess, go Islanders.

@Bart Ell  you really know your stuff.  I like that Italian Dictionary. Philadelphia is made of of many neighborhoods. At one time, South Philly was know for it's Italian shops and restaurants. Marinaro and Ted Tevan would fit right in with the locals.
South Philly--A section of the city of Philadelphia that seems not to be governed by law but rather local custom. If someone is not treating you with respect you get mean, angry and LOUD.
Last Friday, I had lunch in South Philly shop. One of the employees was not treating me with respect. So I had go South Philly.  “YOOO! You are pissing me off! Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah ...”
All was well after my opening words. I am not Italian. However, over the years, I have learned how to go South Philly.

Enjoy your pie.

Agreed. They took it extremely well and had many complimentary things to say about the team that just ousted them.

The NHL needs to show some leadership here. Don't they remember the Penn State Scandal? In June 2012, Jerry Sandusky was found guilty on 45 counts of sexual abuse of 10 boys. He was sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison.

I watch the games with Youppi. AND, I have 2 texting Game Clubs with my family.
Club 1 is with two adults. One of the guys was late to the game. He was playing an ice hockey game. We are adults, we know that this is only GAME 1.
Club 2 is with a 12 fellow. He plays on two ice hockey teams. Next year, he is going to study FRENCH in school. He has future plans. He wants to be able talk to the players from the Quebec Providence. He is going to need a Crash course in Canadian French @Bart Ell .
Last night, HE was sent to bed. So he listened to the games on the Montreal radio station. After the game, he was feeling sorry for the HABS. I had to remind him that it was GAME 1.
I need help with the ‘Blackhawks investigation.'
How do we teach the kids about this one?

Oh for fuck sake that is ridiculous! Molson in general is a lowbrow low end liquid that hardly passes for, beer. Drank from the actual Stanley Cup would not improve it but only make it worse.  They should just have evenly distributed Crosby urine in several unmarked bottles - now THAT would sell!

Since the Pandemic every championship in the major four leagues has gone to Florida or California. Err the state of Florida getting another Championship/Cup. Well at least the streak will break in the NBA with a team from Wisconsin and Arizona in the final, but another "Sun State in Arizona"

Is it really choking when a team loses to a team that's either on a hot streak, better, or just got a bad call or lucky bounce?

In a league of, say, 30 teams, on average any given team wins the championship once every 30 years. 


There can be actual choking, and just like clutch play and winning, it can become contagious.  To me it seems pretty rare at that level though.  The refs though, whole other story.

Hot streak? They were up 3 games to 1. How hot could a team be that lost their last 3 games?
Better? Toronto finished with 18 more points.
Bad call? Up 3 games to 1
Lucky bounce? Up 3 games to 1.

BUT THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT!
Nope.
The Maple Leafs haven't won a playoff series since 2004.
They have eight straight losses in series-clinching games.
Here is a favorite among their many chokes.

Eye of the Tiger" is a song by the rock band Survivor.  It was the theme song for the 1982 film Rocky III. In Rocky 3 a statue of himself is placed on the stairway by the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I have visited this statue many times.
Rocky fights Lang = MR.T at the Philadelphia Spectrum. Rocky regains the EYE and has a rematch at Madison Square Garden in NYC @anniem   ;). The SPECTRUM is where the FLYERS (NHL) won the Stanley Cup two times. I have a red chair from the Spectrum in my home. As watch NHL games, I look for a team, a player or a coach who has the Eye of the Tiger.

Hello Lady @FISH 😺 I was in Philadelphia once. First stop after seeing the Liberty Bell was to "run" up the steps to the Rocky statue. I had the Tour de France on in the background the other day. They interviewed this one rider. I thought his eyes were glowing like two coals from the pits of Hell. I thought, "He has the Eye of the Tiger". Or performance drugs. He won climbing Mont Ventoux that day. I loved " Supernatural". I watched all. What? 15? seasons of it.  Seattle's hottest day this year - so far - was 106°. Washington's worst fires ever were the 2020 Labor Day Fires. Burned 410,00 acres, caused by high winds sparking downed power lines. The second and third worst fires were in 2015 and 2014. 556,000 acres burned. Same county. Same reason. All the floor sweeping in the world wouldn't have helped that. The new sports arena will be the first carbon neutral arena ever built. Hence the name. You gotta admit. Kraken is a kickass name. I've always hated the Seahawks

@TigerLily I never watched "Supernatural." It was not easy for me to find time to watch a TV series. I used to have a very tight schedule. I looked up this TV show. It seems that music played a major role on this show. The state of Washington-the state of Grunge music. Nirvana was formed in Aberdeen, Washington.

If people in Montreal were still seeming friendly after you told them you were from Philadelphia, I’m betting they only spoke French. Or they were born after Dave Schultz got traded to the Kings.

If people in Montreal were still seeming friendly after you told them you were from Philadelphia, I’m betting they only spoke French. Or they were born after Dave Schultz got traded to the Kings.
@GravitySucks I would travel NORTH with people who spoke 'FRENCH.' One person was familiar with the Canadian French language. People are more friendly when you travel North in the Winter. It stirs their curiosity and wallets. Sad to say, no one remembers THE HAMMER. However, if you drive @150 miles north of Montreal, the people not only remembered ROCKY but also bébé Lindros. The Quebec Nordiques fans will NEVER forgive or forget.

Don’t get me started @Bart Ell . Something is very wrong with Chuck Fletcher and Alain Vigneault. I wish the Flyers would give away Carter Hart and GRITTY to another team. The Flyers need a a better GM, head coach and a GOALIE.  Gritty is a big money maker. His dolls and tee shirts could bring in cash for any struggling team.
Vigneault and Hart are the new DOUGHBOYS. They both are suffering with "Shell shock." Let’s not forget the new addition to the Doughboys club, Darryl Williams. I am not a crying baby. I am ready to FIGHT.
I have been ruined by watching the HABS play ice hockey.

Stop it @Bart Ell . Since May, I havw been learning so much about the HABs. At first I was looking for some crybabies on the team. Crybabies on a team is so common in Philly. Crybaby Hart enjoys shaking in his skates. Let old man Brian Elliott, be goalie. I am still waiting for an explanation from Vigneault about this past season.
I know that Shea Weber and other players were hurt and still putting on their skates. My frustrations with the FLYERS is growing like weeds in the sun.

Hextall warns the Flyers not to turn Hart into a DOUGHBOY. They didn’t listen to Hextall.  November 2018, the Flyers fired Hextall as general manager.
It is your SPITE BOARD, and you can say want you want about Bobby Clarke. In Philly, we knew that Clarke had Juvenile diabetes. When he was 13 years old, he had to take insulin. His mother had to boil the needles and syringes. Bobby and his mom were not crybabies.  To this DAY, Clarke remains an inspiration for folks in Philly with chronic health problems to carry on. I believe that Hart, Vigneault and Heather Wade are meeting up in the Medicine Lodge.
PS/ I dislike the Habs GM Marc Bergevin.

As long as the ice remains white, racism will be the legacy. Beating a black puck with a stick on white ice. Drop the black puck between two wannabe plantation masters fighting over the rights to the little black guy with wooden clubs. While authorities only blow the whistle when someone tries to smoother the little black guy. Beat the black puck with a stick. Fine. Kick the black guy with the skates. Mostly fine. Try and protect the black guy by shielding it next to the protection of the sidewall. Whistle!!!

I notice a bunch of these on Amazon Prime, I never watched any of them.

So this is a documentary for LAST season? We all know the outcome (spoiler it's not ALL) Wouldn't it work better if they do it for this season. You film a couple of weeks, take a week to edit and put it out there and continue for the season and having episodes every 3 weeks. Showtime's "The Circus" which follows the election would post up their episodes really up to date of what just happened and they have weekly episodes.

Thank goodness this never happened.  Courtesy of sportslogos.net

The uniforms were unveiled right at the end of the 1994-95 season, the team's last in Quebec. The Nordiques were late getting approval from the NHL and had to delay the new look a year until 1996-97. That never happened of course and these uniforms were never worn in an NHL game.

I expect the Pens to get the crap beat out of them.  My gut tells me they lose by 4 goals.  I expect the other game to be boring.  Probably because one team is an expansion one called the Kraken.  ::)  The other is in Vegas.  :P

Yes @KSM , I listened to the game on the radio. Until my faith in the FLYERS returns, I refuse to give big money to the cable company or the NHL. I have my own little game chat club. Two of the members watch the game. We think we are funny. Rob sent me this text after Hart let the puck into the net--that puck was going going so slow you could read the label while it was going over the goal line.  Carter has a whole lot of work to do...mostly in his head.

I still can't believe the Pens are 3-0-2 without Crosby, Malkin, Letang, Rust, and now Jeff Carter.   Evan Rodrigues is their #1 center for goodness sake!

By the way, I still hate the point given for an OT loss.  Just bring back the tie.

@FISH hey,    you

I'm hanging in there.. watching.

The game was pretty good as time went on. No fights though and I was expecting the beginning of a real bloodbath rivalry so I am a tad  disappointed in that aspect.   Oh, and they boooo'd just for a second as the Nucks took the ice and would also take THE GAME!

I found the kraken-Crowd to be a little odd. And the new venue name? """CLIMATE PLEDGE ARENEA""" Good Lord what the actual FUCK!

4-2 Nuckles

Dear Mr. Price, NEVER speak with the news media. They are big fat liars.



Koivu was in the hospital with an eye injury.
They had him in a darkened room because of light sensitivity issues.
A reporter found his room and took a picture of him.
He used a flash...

Quote
We were doing our job," Journal de Montreal sports editor Denis Poissant said.

In this case, the job involved a Journal reporter and photographer entering the Montreal hospital where Canadiens captain Saku Koivu had been admitted a day earlier after sustaining a serious eye injury from a high stick.

Koivu left Game 3 of the Canadiens-Carolina Hurricanes series and was rushed to hospital after being cut near the eye.

Without Koivu's permission, the photographer took his picture. And, making it worse, a flash was used. Doctors had told Koivu to avoid bright lights. The photo, displayed on the front page of le Journal on Friday, showed Koivu attempting to protect his damaged eye from the flash.

Needless to say, Koivu is upset and the club is furious. Le Journal also was criticized by columnist Réjean Tremblay of La Presse, as well as Stu Cowan, the sports editor of The Gazette, who wrote, "With the extent of his injury uncertain and his family obviously worried, I think Koivu deserved some privacy at the hospital when he asked for it."

But, George Kalogerakis, le Journal's managing editor, yesterday defended the decision to take the picture and run it on the front page.

"We believed it was a matter of public interest to go and find him, and show people his injury," he said. "For us, it was something in the public limelight and it was an issue we had to look into."

But what about the potential of causing further damage to Koivu's eye by using a flash?

"He didn't tell us that [he was to avoid bright lights]" Kalogerakis said. "And I don't remember reading that it was a problem."

Of course, if the photographer had asked permission from Koivu to take the picture, he might have been told about the potential danger of a flash.

I still don't comprehend why he gets away with what he does. @FISH  His penalties and fines are light weight.  He's done things that should've had him suspended for a season.  He'll always be human filth to me.  >:(

Both the Wall Street Journal and Sportico reported Tuesday that Penguins owners Ron Burkle and Mario Lemieux would sell a controlling stake in the team to Fenway Sports Group, which is backed by billionaire Red Sox owner John Henry.

The Hayes Family are not covering up the cause of death for Jimmy. Hayes was found dead at the age of 31 at his Milton, Massachusetts, home on August 23, 2021. A toxicology report later determined fentanyl and cocaine use contributed to his death. He is survived by his wife and two sons.
No MORE deaths due to addiction.

I'm not concerned about the Pens relocating.  @FISH  It is all about money.  I'm thinking this is more about development in the area.  Real estate.  When Lemieux and his group became owners and wanted to get rid of the Civic Arena, they didn't want to use public funding so they made all sort of development and gaming deals.  Some have not come to fruition because the Yinzers that run this town are idiots.  They are only just starting a project at the old arena site that was promised 20 years ago.

If this sale goes through, Lemieux will still be the face of the ownership and will be able to play more golf.  ::)  Who knows what Burkle will do.  he has other interests outside of the franchise.

Question is...How will the new majority owner group handle a rebuild?  Crosby and the other key cogs to the franchise won't be around much longer.  Yinzers are fickle.  I've seen this team on the edge of leaving town twice in my lifetime.  I'm talking luggage packed and I'm about to board the bus type leaving.  The future may not be so bright.

@Bart Ell what is the story behind the story? Is it all about $$$$$$$$? Who doesn't want a NHL team from Quebec City? The Canadiens, the Leafs or Gary Bruce Bettman?
Bettman's tenure in the NHL has been controversial. He likes expanding the NHL into non-traditional hockey markets at the expense of the more traditional markets in Canada and Northern USA states. Bettman assumed office on February 1, 1993--I say TIME to retire.

As you must know by now, I loved Bernie Parent--he grew up in Rosemont, Quebec, a suburb of Montreal.  Parent's hero as a young boy was Montreal Canadiens goalie Jacques Plante. During his early playing career, Parent did not conduct interviews in English for fear of saying the wrong things. I have been following ICE HOCKEY since 1974. The Broad Street Bullies were my heroes.

The Canucks and Kraken gave her $10K (between them) for her medical studies, does that seem low or just about right?  This girl is like the best person in the planet. She helps out picking up groceries for the elderly in her neighborhood during Covid and worked a crisis hotline on New Years Eve. Damn I forget it possible that people can be really pleasant  :D

Not much for medical studies but the gesture is nice and I have a feeling she doesn't care what the amount was.  Obviously she is a caring person based on what you stated.

It definitely, in this day and age, is hard to realize that there are good people everywhere.  They mostly go unnoticed.  Kudos to her.

Around here sportstalk radio mostly covers the Warriors and 49ers, and Giants during beisbol season.  The Sharks and As are mostly ignored, let alone anything else.

Today one of them was talking about his first hockey game, and how much better it was in person instead of TV.  The other one chimed in and said the ice covering took away from the bright colors on the floor, and because of that he liked it better on TV.  He had no idea when he said it what the reaction would be.

I can't believe the NHL Skill competition was top of the charts on cable in the Demos on Friday night 1.085M (0.40) That presentation was hard to watch and hockey always had a personality problem. Is the actual NHL All star game the worst of all Allstar games? I guess it's not for me, but I honestly had to tap out after half way through a period

Brad Marchand is also human filth.  Not on the level of Tom Wilson though.

Marchand sucker punched Jarry then hits him in the face with his stick as he's leaving the ice.  Of course the Penguins have nobody willing to pummel him.

Oh no. @KSM  Damn the Pens.  3-1 series lead.  They blew it.  They choked.  Plus they threw Jarry, after being out with an injury, cold into a Game 7.  They should've road Domingue since he was playing well.

Since the Pens were sold to Fenway Sports Group (owners of the Boston Red Sox and Liverpool F.C.), I expect wholesale changes.  It would not surprise me to see a house cleaning.  Maybe Malkin goes back to Russia or retires in Florida.  Or even signs with the Panthers for a year.  I have a strong feeling Letang signs with the Canadians.  Bryan Rust will chase the big $$$.  I wouldn't even be surprised if Hextall is one and done as a GM.  Brian Burke, the Director of Hockey Operations already hinted that he (himself) is out the door.

They got 4.2 Million watching Game 1, which turned out to be the most watched show of the Thursday night. Not bad for hockey, about 4X there normal audience they been getting for hockey. The game was on ABC instead of cable which would add some viewership as most/if not all games were on ESPN/Turner so far.

One year ago today Artturi Lehkonen got his team to the finals with an overtime goal.
A few weeks ago he got his new team to the finals with an overtime goal.
Will he complete the hat trick tonight, @PolkaDot ?




oooohhhhh, I hope so! Though, I'd rather it didn't go into overtime. It causes me stress ;D
Please let this be the final game, I can't take much more of watching them try to play baseball with the puck. I'm literally going to have a stroke.
I'm ready!!!

I didn't realize that they haven't won a game yet.  But it's early. @KSM  They should trade Horvat.  Get rid of some bad contracts.  Several players are due for extensions.  Like the Pirates, they can't afford that.

@ShayP  Well... how are the PENS doing in general? Fluke win for the Nucks?

Well, @KSM they just lost to the Kraken which was there 4th straight loss.  The Nucks beat them handily.  Not a fluke win at all.  The Pens gave up after the 2nd period.  Then the Nucks poured in 3 goals while the Pens just watched them do it.

As usual the injury bug hits the Pens early in the season but the core is intact.  They just aren't playing well.  Kris Letang has been abysmal.  He might as well not have a stick in his hand with his turnovers and poor decisions.   Penalty kill is bad too.

Still very early in the season.

In a sense. @KSM  However, it is early.  Nonetheless these guys have to figure it out sooner than later.  The Pens just lost their 5th straight blowing a 3 goal lead to the Bruins.

What pains me regarding the Pens is they have a veteran core and 2, maybe 3, hall of famers on the roster and they are playing like shit overall.  Crosby is still Crosby.  Works his tail off, but something is off.  I don't know.  It seems they don't adapt.  They try to play fast but they're not.  The definition of insanity..."Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."  :-\

The window is closing on this team but not all hope is lost.  Because it's still early.  ;)

If he plays two more years, I think the record is broken.

When these type of things happen, the game doesn't matter.  He's probably the best conditioned player on the team, but nonetheless he should take a lot of time off if not the whole season.

After I saw this post I checked what the local media was saying and they are treating it like it's no big deal.  Freakin' Yinzers.  Plus Hextall's "It's not as bad as the last one" comment.  Dude, regardless, he had a stroke.

I didn't expect this on his first game back.

Kris Letang played 22:07 Saturday in a 3-1 win over the Sabres.  He had seven hits, three blocked shots and a minor penalty.  Letang suffered the stroke 12 days ago and led all Pittsburgh skaters in ice time. He was intensely engaged -- just ask the guys he kept levelling with hits.

After putting his previous four goals into an empty net, Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals got three past a goalie Tuesday night, the last of those giving him 800 on his career.

Next stop is 802, which pushes him past Gordie Howe into second place on the NHL’s all-time list. After that, it’s on to 895. That would surpass Wayne Gretzky and make Ovechkin hockey’s top marksman ever.

I'm hoping, and I've mentioned it in this thread before, that 'Ovi' surpasses both.

If only Mario Lemieux could've staid healthy and played the number of games Gretzky did, he would have 1000+ goals.  Alas, we will never know.

Losing 3 out of 3 home games is really bad, even though the stats said the Leafs had more SoG it just seemed Fla was out muscled them and seemed to be quicker during most of the game.

That should have been a slam dunk if the owners were handling improvements and building. It's not like there's mineral rights going to be exploited. Other than the possibility of an uneducated voter base, are the team owners greasy?

Funny, their legacy franchise goes back to the WHA (Winnipeg Jets). The San Diego Mariners were part of that league.

After years of frustration with Thornton and Marleau underperforming in the playoffs, while being hailed as franchise cornerstones, I gave up on the Sharks.  Plus the guy who got us all going to games moved back to Nebraska.

I'm down to checking where they are in the standings a few times a year.

So I check last night, and what do I see.  What the hell's going on in SJ?  They lose two games back-to-back 10-1 and 10-2.  In that first one, the 10 matched the entire Sharks goals scored during the season up to that point.

I'm not sure what happened at the All Stars but the Av's seem to have a semi-permanent hangover.  :(

This cross check seems to be getting a lot of play and discussion in sports talk. The attacker Morgan Rielly  got a 5-game suspension

For me I never understood "unwritten codes" for umm reasons that goes on in sports, especially stuff that's considered taunting or hotdogging it. If you are a high paying professional having your feeling hurt by a taunt or even running up a score shouldn't be a thing. The Leafs should be more triggered for losing to a second last place team  in your conference than the guy bending the net a little bit on an open net situation. As for the suspension I would give 5 for the hit and another 5 for being a suck.

@Walks_At_Night Not that you're following but my Canuckleheads have lost their last two games. Those damn Winnipeg Jets and the lowly Minnasota Wimps who beat them 10-7!

They were Number 1! in the league only a week ago.

They have been #1 for quite some time.  Kind of refreshing - if it is not the Wings like to see dominance spread around some as long as it ain't Toronto.
I believe the prevailing view is that it is better to hit a rough spot now then at season's end. They should be fine.

@KSM They're still number one in the league Numbnuts. Don't be such a fair weather spectator. It's hard to sustain for such a long season...you should be hoping they get the droops out of their system before playoffs.

THEY'RE NOT NUMBER 1 IN MY BOOK WHEN THEY LOSE TWO IN A ROW LIKE THAT! The Jets are a huge threat, so that one is somewhat understandable. I guess.

We'll see how they do tonight vs our Aves.



Easy on the name calling, princess.

Oh no you don't! I got the Avs in the divorce. I'm sure I have the paperwork here somewhere...

Don't push your luck, Darling.

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF LOL
And you'll go down with your Aves. Tonight.
And oooh, I push.  ;D


"Oh no you don't! I got the Avs in the divorce. I'm sure I have the paperwork here somewhere..."  That was actually kinda funny. Cute.

Time to bitch about the Wings.  Not so long ago, the Red Wings were comfortably in a playoff spot and nipping at Carolina and Toronto's heels.  Now they have collapsed and are currently out of the playoffs.  :'(

I really Really REALLY hate the NHL overtime point system. It's the most illogical rule in sports. I can't believe they don't do a 3-2-1-0 system or if they think hockey fans are too dumb to figure it out just to wins/loss. It's the phoniness' of making everyone artificially close, but they are really not because everyone has the possibility gets random bonus points at every game. It's dumb Dumb DUMB.
