No, it wasn't a nice goal that copy cat mother fucker!  There is only one Swede in my mind and it sure as hell isn't that goal hanging goon either.  As for the rivalry, I don't buy that argument one bit.  These two haven't played much at all and it was playoff atmosphere from start to finish.  Some teams just plain have hate and contempt for each other, and if not, the fans mold the hate for them.  It was one of the best games I've watched all year long from start to finish (hitting, passing, shooting, skating), but the refs need to stop calling penalties when lazy red wings run into avs and fall down!  That's not fucking tripping you mother fuckers!  I think they all took their Fraiser pills before the game.

okay, ive never complained about the penalty enforcement of the "new" nhl before, but the penalty just called on spacek was fucking rediculous.  IT WAS A FUCKING HIPCHECK!!! and it was called as tripping.  what the fuck is hockey coming to if you get called for tripping on a hipcheck.  what a horseshit call.

Jan 7 Chara missed a game for the first time this season when he was held out of the Bruins' 4-3 win over Philadelphia on Saturday with what the team termed "a minor lower body injury." Chara, considered one of the top free agent defensemen signed during the offseason, agreed to a five-year, $37.5-million contract on the first the day of free agency _ July 1. He is listed as day-to-day. Chara has seven goals and 17 assists in 38 games with the Bruins this year.

fallon, what are your thoughts about chara so far this year?  ive never had the opprotunity to watch him game to game, just when buffalo played ottawa for the last few years.  i always thought he was overrated especially for that price, but he is a fucking monster.  just curious.

fucking devils played so sloppy tonight. the blues, while it was only 4 games, hadnt won in NJ since 1997. this 6 point lead they have isnt going to last forever, though they have played well of late. im going to the game tuesday against the rangers, hopefully ill see a win.

denko

01-11-2007, 03:33 PM

chara so far has been pretty much as advertised. i think he is overpaid but oh well. he takes a lot of penalties and likes to play rough. still waiting for him to beat the shit out of someone. for a guy his size he moves VERY well and is a solid playing in every situation, EV, PP, PK.

Though he turns the puck over a lot, with his size he sucks at stick handling.

he was doing it last year for the sabres as well.  he also scored like 5 game winning playoff goals with the avalanche and was a big part of that team.  he could be one of the most underrated american players around.  this is the type of player that any team would want.  he plays hard every single game (i know, ive watched 95% of sabres games over the past two seasons) and comes up with big plays when he needs to.

That whole ordeal couldn't have been handled any worse by the league, Versus or the players.  From the start, versus never had much backround on the players, very little stat updates or even the names of the players the league needs to start selling.  The intros were horrible with almost no player showing any character or personality at all.  It really looked like they were warned from having fun in the intros, especially the young stars (cherry pickers).  The young star game was fucking horrible.  1)  Time to go back to 5 on 5 and play just a little fucking D.  The kids only cared about scoring as I think only Matt Carle played d on either side.  The goalies were facing break aways and three on nones all game.  That's not hockey, it's fucking warm ups but the future of the league if the league keeps focussing on only offense.  2)  Meszaros and Malkin didn't even skate in the damn defensive end and constantly cherry picked waiting for break out passes.  At one point, Malkin just stood and watched while the team was hemmed in their end and then got his break away pass.  I lost a ton of respect for a lot of kids in this game, but none more then those two.  I did though gain a lot of respect for Carle and Kopitar.  I've been touting Kopitar for some time now, and at least he plays D and actually passes too.  Fuck Malkin, I wish someone checked his ass.  3)  Did anyone else notice that when Ovechkin and Malkin were interviewed they both acted all smug and basically were dicks!  Sorry Mudo, but the two rooskies were classic pricks and couldn't be bothered by the interviewers during the one time they should be selling their game.  I think a lot of the young crew coming in from Russia are fucking assholes as these two are just the two biggest names.  Then they got to the European, US and Canadian kids and they were nothing but cool and humble.  I loved it when Ovechkin used his horrible form to claim his 15 + second time in the skills comp for last place after he said he'd win.  The cocky fuck can play, but after seeing both of their personalities I'd take Crosby in a fucking heartbeat.  O will always be too selfish to captain a team well.  The skills comp was pretty cool again, but the announcers/versus did a horrible job of calling the action and hell, filming it too.  The back stories sucked and Devil boy must have been drunk the whole time bc he was flat out awful.  What the fuck was he watching?!  Sorry Dev fans, but Mike isn't that good, if not terrible last night.  I'd take Rush Limbaugh doing football over him missing play after play in hockey.  Horrible.Hockey will never take the next step if they continue on this path.  They need to fix other areas other than scoring to expand the game bc that 9-8 shootout proved to be the worst thing I've seen in a hockey sense in years.  3 years in waiting and that's the product?  WTF Gary B?  WTF indeed.

It's a tough call bc ESPN was really low-balling them even though they've been allies since day one of the network.  However, being the number one product of a channel at times can also be a huge plus.  They should focus more on it, and work to get word out there and make sure the channel is easily identified (608 on DTV) and found.  Yet, being the number one product and the #4 major sport isn't the way to expand your market based on a popular channel like ESPN.  So, I can't make the call based on a total lack of figures, but I can see both sides of it.  In the least, wherever you end up (network wise), I'd surely be more prepared and well marketed base on either scenario.  The coverage thus far has been beyond sub-par and tonight was a fucking train-wreck at best.  The best part of the coverage was when Ovechkin was being interviewed and he was being a smug prick the interviewer actually called him on it and said something like, "hey at least try to show some personality I'm trying to sell our game."  I thought that was awesome and yet I don't think he gave two shits.  I've never seen this attitude by a hockey guy in my life, but I guess the assholes are even penetrating the last frontier in sports.  I'm sure there have been plenty of assholes behind the scenes but they always were humble and cordial on camera and to those that covered the sport.  Most of the time in hockey it's ex players and coaches working the mics anyway.  I took a hit last night no doubt.

My friend who works at Logan said Chara is a dick and doesn't tip bagage handlers. i can't fucking stand the view from behind the net.  it makes no sense why they would use it.  you can't see whats going on with all the passing on a powerplay.  another view which pissed me off was on the selanne breakaway on miller from center ice.  FUCKING HORRIBLE! show the side view and be done with it.  also, i wish versus would get rid of that stupid camera that is on top of the glass.  everytime it zips and zooms by, my eye catches it and distracts me from the game.  fucking garbage.score prediction for tonight - east 58 west 56 - no defense will be played.

From the start, versus never had much backround on the players, very little stat updates or even the names of the players the league needs to start selling. The intros were horrible with almost no player showing any character or personality at all. It really looked like they were warned from having fun in the intros, especially the young stars (cherry pickers). The young star game was fucking horrible. 1) Time to go back to 5 on 5 and play just a little fucking D. The kids only cared about scoring as I think only Matt Carle played d on either side. The goalies were facing break aways and three on nones all game. That's not hockey, it's fucking warm ups but the future of the league if the league keeps focussing on only offense. 2) Meszaros and Malkin didn't even skate in the damn defensive end and constantly cherry picked waiting for break out passes. At one point, Malkin just stood and watched while the team was hemmed in their end and then got his break away pass. I lost a ton of respect for a lot of kids in this game, but none more then those two. I did though gain a lot of respect for Carle and Kopitar. I've been touting Kopitar for some time now, and at least he plays D and actually passes too. Fuck Malkin, I wish someone checked his ass. 3) Did anyone else notice that when Ovechkin and Malkin were interviewed they both acted all smug and basically were dicks! Sorry Mudo, but the two rooskies were classic pricks and couldn't be bothered by the interviewers during the one time they should be selling their game. I think a lot of the young crew coming in from Russia are fucking assholes as these two are just the two biggest names. Then they got to the European, US and Canadian kids and they were nothing but cool and humble. I loved it when Ovechkin used his horrible form to claim his 15 + second time in the skills comp for last place after he said he'd win. The cocky fuck can play, but after seeing both of their personalities I'd take Crosby in a fucking heartbeat. O will always be too selfish to captain a team well. The skills comp was pretty cool again, but the announcers/versus did a horrible job of calling the action and hell, filming it too. The back stories sucked and Devil boy must have been drunk the whole time bc he was flat out awful. What the fuck was he watching?! Sorry Dev fans, but Mike isn't that good, if not terrible last night. I'd take Rush Limbaugh doing football over him missing play after play in hockey. Horrible.Hockey will never take the next step if they continue on this path. They need to fix other areas other than scoring to expand the game bc that 9-8 shootout proved to be the worst thing I've seen in a hockey sense in years. 3 years in waiting and that's the product? WTF Gary B? WTF indeed. Ovechkin's too selfish? The same guy that was worried about yelling at his boss in a TV commercial? The same guy who mentions how he wants to "help the team win" in every interview? The same guy who never complains about the team or his teammates?  The same guy who an interviewer wrote this about: ***On Saturday afternoon I had the pleasure of getting an exclusive one-on-one interview with one of the best and most exciting players in the NHL, Alexander Ovechkin. Ovechkin is one of those rare athletes that grab your attention the minute you meet him. He has a bigger-than-life personality.

I don't want to quote the entire post - but I'd like to see Forsberg back with Spoon's avs. That's where he belongs. I'd sort of like the Sabres to do something by the trade deadline, but they won't. They're too far against the cap, and I don't think they think they could get value in return. They better hope Tim Connolly can come back.

Getting all geared up for tonights all-star game I got to thinking about last nights 'young-stars' game.I have never seen a worse display of hockey in my life. This game was supposed to display the talent of young NHL'ers, it came across as a shinny hockey game! There was no speed, no desire and with all the passing the actual talent level of these guys appeared diminished. If I were a new fan of the game or just some random dude who happened to watch that game I would never turn on another game again. This was supposed to display the best of the new guys and it failed miserbly. I know Bettman was an NBA exec and it is showing by some of the cockameme hair brained ideas he is bringing to the game but this 'young-stars' exhibition needs to go.I also think the new jerseys need to be put to rest...for the last time. This again is an NBA driven idea... Let's tighten up the jerseys = hey Kobe, your shorts are too low, too long and too big. The biggest thing that Bettman doesn't get is that these players performance will suffer if they are stuck wearing these ugly new uni's... Why do you think a hockey player goes into a shop and tries on dozens of chin pads as opposed for looking for the 16" or the 18" chin pads before making a decision? Why do you think an NHL'er will tell Nike/Bauer he likes the feel of skate 'a' but likes the look of CCM skate 'b'.... and have CCM make him a skate that looks like CCM but feels like Nike/Bauer, or visa versa? Why does he go for a CCM over a Jofa helmet?        Here's why...It's about ego. If he doesn't feel he looks good and is comfortable in his gear he will not perform up to his capabilities. If Bettman brings in these new jerseys it will have the same effect as adding two more teams. It will seem as though the talent level has dropped because the comfort/ confidence level of these guys has dropped.

They better hope Tim Connolly can come back. the thing is with connolly is that if he comes back, his 3.1 million will be counted against the cap.  the sabres are so tight against the cap right now with all the injuries they've had, they would have to cut players to get under the cap if connolly returns.  then if anyone else on the team gets injured they wouldn't be able to call anyone up from rochester because they have already met the cap.  with all the time connolly has missed this year, i dont really see him coming back and being any kind of big impact on the team.  they should just let him recover the rest of this year and get him ready for next year.  also, i doubt they will do anything at the trade deadline.  is there anything on that team you would really want to change anyway?  biron might get dealt, but don't count on it.  they don't have a legitimate prospect in rochester for another few years, so i think they will keep biron around this year as insurance for playoffs and he will become an unrestricted free agent in the summer.  he should cash in and be a top goalie in the league.  he could be the #1 goalie on a lot of teams in the nhl.

I don't think Connolly counts against the cap actually, or so I've heard.I really really hope Biron doesn't get traded. I know he deserves another shot elsewhere and he's a great guy blah blah blah. But I want Miller to be fresh for the playoffs. He doesn't play nearly as well when he's tired. I would actually play Biron a lot more than they've been doing. Also in case anything happens in the playoffs, I don't want the Sabres to be doomed because they don't have an experienced backup in the net whether it be Adam Dennis or just some guy. I would ideally like to see them get a character guy, if such a guy is out there. He doesn't even really need to score a lot. Just someone who is sort of a veteran leader.

connolly's full salary will count against the cap even if he only plays in one game.  this is because the player was signed to the contract while he was injured.  so even if connolly never comes back, the sabres contractrally 9 million over the next three years.  the sabres are still paying him 3 mil this year.adam dennis should be a decent backup in a few years, he just needs some more time developing him in rochester.  they did the same thing with miller and seems to have played out well for them.

They better hope Tim Connolly can come back.  I love him to death but would that really be smart for the Avs?  He's just not the same player and the Colorado front office made a smart move letting him go over Sakic even with the age dif.  He just isn't in good health and if he was it'd be amazing.  The Avs have a lot of room after the Kono issue (they gave him a front office job) and even more if they buyout Theo.  On top of that, they already had room but is offense what they need?  Nope, they need some grit and help on D.  The last game was quite possibly the only game of the year where they threw more then 5 checks all game!!  And finishing checks/rubbing players out especially on the p kill is huge in this accelerated game.  It's the reason why they just get torched late in tight games bc they can't turn up the physical game when needed.  They just don't have it which surprises the hell out of me with Q being such a D based coach of old.  The good news is that Leopold will finally play for the Avs (Tanguay trade), Patrice B returns from injury and Liles is getting closer too.  They have 3, count'em 3, starting D on the mend right now still.If they make any move, I want it to be for a physical D like Jovo or Phillips (both may be on the market) that have an O upside, with good puck skills, decent skating who won't be left in the dust in this new NHL.  If the move isn't there, don't force shit like that awful Theo move I hated since day one.  I hoped they saw something I couldn't, but unfortunately I was right.  Worse case senario they wait to free agency and go after the D I just mentioned along with guys like Shelle's Sheldon Souray and more.  Vishnoski (sp?) may be available too.

Mudo, quote all you want but I make my opinions on what I see and hear personally.  I've read some bad shit with team members back in Russia with the Dynamos and he wasn't even close to cool on Tuesday night.  I know you see him more but don't be blinded by bias.  I'll give him the fact that last night at the main event he seemed much more level headed and perhaps he was nervous Tuesday.  I give the reporter, I forget her name but she and Olgie were pretty good last night, credit for the Lays chips joke and he rolled with it well.  Perhaps I shouldn't judge him based on the overall Russian theme that was presented on Tuesday, but I'm not sold the other way yet either.  If he's the future face of the league with Crosby I'm not so thrilled right now.  Sure he's offensively skilled and makes a hit here and there, but aren't those all the highlight ESPN based idiology we all hate?  Let's see some faceoff wins, backchecks, forechecking and an ounce of humility.

Watch out for my Caps making a move at the deadline...especially if they feel they can make the playoffs (a) theyve been more competitive than most people expected(b) theyre in the middle of a bunch of close races and most importantly (c) theyve got TONS of cap room (as ive said before, the only thing keeping them above the cap minimum is that they still owe Jagr money) I could definitely see us adding at the deadline if we're still in the thick of the playoff race...adding a key vet or two as a "rent a player" could push us into the playoffs, since we already have a ton of young talent...I mean, the talent we have under 25 is incredible (AMO, Alex Semin, Mike Green, Brian Sutherby, Boyd Gordon, Shoane Morrisonn, Jeff Schultz etc etc....and thats not including Backstrom, who's coming over next year). The future will be bright here over the next 5-6 years, but im hungry for another playoff run, even if it turns out to be brief.  But with a vet goalie like Olie who's been there before, and hungry young kids, if we make the playoffs, I sure wouldn't want to play this team

WTF, I swear I could line up better acts using Earl as the promoter! I'd agree with you if the All Star Game was about winning and losing. But it's not. It never has been. I could maybe see another Western star winning. But I don't think Joe could have. There isn't much he hasn't accomplished in the NHL including winning All-Star MVP before (in 2004). The NHL doesn't apparently like to give that award out twice. Only Gretzky, Lemieux and Bobby Hull have done it multiple times. That's pretty elite company. I'm not sure Sakic is that far off the talent those guys have, but I mean, but those are probably some of the top 5 players ever. On the other hand, no Sabre has won the award since 1977 when Rick Martin did it. Not only that, Briere actually was only one off from tieing Lemieux's all-time points record in an all-star game. Besides Briere, I was really impressed with Justin Williams. He's always impressed me, even if I kind of thought he was a dickhead after the Eastern Conference Finals last year. I didn't think Ovechkin or Crosby played that well. Ovechkin did play better than Crosby, who I thought looked frustrated out there. Crosby had ZERO points the entire night and was -4. I know it's just an all-star game, but part of being the NBT in hockey is seizing moments like this to show what you've got. Very very underwhelming effort I thought. Maybe he was a little dazed by the experience.

You guys must be some serious fans to actually watch the NHL All Star game.  I don't think I've watched one in ten years.   It's devolved into a joke, much like the NFL's Pro Bowl.  And like I said, burying the game on an obscure channel in the middle of the week is hardly any way to promote your players' skills Mr. Bettman. It saddens me that I saw hockey triple in popularity in this country not long ago and now it's back to being the 4th sport, behind baseball, football, and basketball.  In fact, I haven't seen ratings numbers but I wouldn't be surprised if golf gets better numbers on the weekend.  Something has to be done to make the game more TV friendly for the American public, but I'm not sure what it is.  God knows it costs a fortune to actually attend a game, so the NHL should be concentrating on a TV contract more than anythng else right now.  Also, I think the international game is incredibly exciting with its 200x100 rink, but I suppose asking NHL owners to take out more seats for a wider skating surface would never fly.  I'm kind of rambling, but I grew up playing (and later coaching) this game and it really hurts to see it going down the toilet after it had such a promising future.

That did not help the matter in the US. Most of the new NHL rinks are not able to fit the international rink size, even by taking out seats. Every rink in the NHL can be modified to allow for an international rink. The biggest problem is the loss in revenue. That would be 4 or more rows of seats around the entire rink @ $15.00/ seat. first 4 rows around the rink = 800 seats (approx).800 seats   x    $15.00 =     $12,000.00/game    x 41 games/ year =     $492,000 .With the losses a team incures over a season it is unreasonable to ask them to drop $500,000 more per year.Nevermind the fact that a team is only guaranteed to make money in the playoffs and to ask them to drop the 'sure thing' money would be silly.So it has nothing to do with rinks not being able to fit, it has to do with money.

On ESPN2 grasscutting and watching paint dry got better ratings. I've heard that the local markets have better ratings than national. For example, the Stars have better rating locally, rather than the Stars playing in front of North America. Up here in the frozen tundra, aka Canada, hockey tv ratings are still up there. Be it national with HNIC or locally. I dont know if that would be the saving grace of hockey in the US. Hockey has to be exposed to the grass roots more than what it has been. Also equipment, rink time/prices, etc have to be more freely available. I think of it as the McDonalds approach, start them when there young, keep it affordable, and they'll keep coming back.

I'll be 36 in May and have a game tonight. You just gotta know what you can do and let the young guns on your team take care of the things you can't do.

Even though you were at a Battle of Alberta I think tonight will be a better experience for you. The Oilers will play a better and because of the playoffs the rivalry between the Sharks and Oilers is almost better.Hopefully Oilers can get up a few and you will experience the greatest fans in the league at their best. Enjoy your time there.

Thanks Ramrod, it was a terrible game last Saturday.  I am not a Canucks fan at all so I fly to Edmonton to watch my team instead of driving a couple hours and taking 3 ferries to watch the Canucks.  I hope the boys got their stuff together over the break and put up a fight tonight.I wasn't planning on staying for the game tonight but a friend in Edmonton knows Thorntons brother and got us tickets.  I'll probably be sitting with the Sharks people so I'll piss a lot of them off cheering for the Oil.Go <a onclick="return fitsInWindow();"><img src="http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/6236/smallhomelogooilersnh5.gif" border="0" alt="img184/6236/smallhomelogooilersnh5.gif" title="Click to visit ImageShack for Image Hosting!" width="74" height="71" /></a> Go!!!!

To be honest, this year will depend on seeds more then ever.  There are potential nightmare matchups for the top teams if the trends continue.  So these big seeds might not make it to the big game.  If I had to put some flow on the conf championships right now I'd go NJ vs. Buf and Vanc vs. Ana.  Yet that's what's great about hockey, if a team overlooks any other playoff team they'll be heading home early.  You have to come to play in order to win 4 games.  I just hope the Avs getting back 3-4 players after the break can help them go on a run and get back in the middle of the playoff race.  Budaj is the answer in goal, but the D is a mess none-the-less.And Edmonton should play better with Ryan Smith back, but SJ is one hell of a tough team these days.  They might be a darkhorse to get to the Cup Final (no s) this year pending on how their D plays.  I picked Vanc and Ana over them due to the Luongo factor with Vanc, and the D / Goalie strengths in Ana.  I'd love the Avs to get there, but they're just too soft in the corners and weak on D as well.

The Oilers disappointed me yet again tonight with their 5-1 loss to the Sharks.  I guess I must be bad luck, I'm not going to anymore games this year.  I don't know what is wrong with the Oil but from what I saw tonight and last Sat. against the Flames they can't even break out of their zone.  Back to the drawing board for MacT.

yeah, oils offense has been terrible over the past 2 months.  with all the fowards they started with I thought edmonton would play a run and gun style offense with success, ryan smith can't do it all by himself.  I dont wanna rush it, but we could definately use Ethan Moreau right now.

riverofpiss

01-27-2007, 02:28 AM

Moreau and Staios.  The Oilers are missing them both.  Jason Smith hasn't played up to his usual level either.  That all adds up to a team that can't start out of its own end and stinks on the PP.  What I saw from the Oil in the two games I watched was brutal.

You mentioned this in your last post, it's a ggod point and should have gotten double mention.... Let me give you my opinion on the matter because you are absolutely right about it.It all stems back to the need for a legitimate #1 D-man.

Don't under estimate the importance of that break out pass from your zone. It's a huge factor it moving the puck up ice with speed and momentum. They are lacking a d-man with the on ice vision to give the inital pass... It seems like it's a given right? Just hit the guy swinging down low or the open guy and let him move it up ice?  It's not that easy or everyone would have 6 or 7 guys on the team who can do this.This has been a very slow year for trades and for rumors so I have no idea what is out there for the final push down the stretch. All I know is Lowe better get working something out because it's too tight of a race to wait for a run after the trading deadline.He also better leave Dubnyck alone, He'll be the goalie when Roloson get's run down for plaing 77 games/ year... and because his uncle is getting me an autographed picture from him.sorry you had to see two shit games... I actually turned the game on last night when I got home and the crowd was dead silent...the score came up 4-1 and I thought of you.... I had to turn the chanel. I watched the Coyotes and Avalanche...At least the Coyotes came back from a 4-1 deficit.

They also had a bullshit goal allowed, got away with countless holding, hooking and 4 minute high sticking calls.  It's tough to beat a top notch team, especially when you're also playing the refs and never finish a fucking check.  Hasek sucks, the Wings just play that well in front of him.  I could have had a shutout in that game if I played net.  I guess the Avs don't like to learn from the win over the wings just a week ago where they hit and played a physical game on the wing forwards (Zett and Dat) who are soft too.  Q's days are really looking numbered of late.

I love watching that hit/ It reminds me of when I was playing hockey, I caught some guy coming around our net and dropped the shoulder into him. I ended up giving him a concussion and a broken collar bone. He did get me back though, when I hit him he did a complete flip in the air and when he was going over his skate came up and clipped my chin. I finished the rest of the game and then went for 7 stitches afterward.hmmmmmmmmmm, violent hits, hmmmmmmmmmmmm

The scariest thing that ever happened to me when I was playing hockey was a slap shot I took in a game.  I was a right handed shot and had a pretty decent slapper, but I caught all of this one.  I let it go from the right wing in full stride right after I crossed the blue line, and it had to be going 100 mph.  It was hard and rising, and I guess it kind of handcuffed the goalie because he took it square in the adam's apple.  He wasn't wearing a throat protector and he went down like he was shot and crumpled in a heap.  The ref immediately blew the whistle and stopped the game, and everyone rushed to him.  He was out cold for a few seconds, and when he came to he was gasping for air.  He wound up being OK, but had to leave the game. It scared the shit out of me, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't proud as hell of that shot.  I felt like Guy Lafleur in his prime.

One of my greatest hockey memories ever is the 2002 playoffs, Game 7.  Red Wings vs. the hated Colorado Avalanche.  Roy was pulled early in the second period after the Wings scored 6 goals on 16 shots.  They won 7-0, and went on to win their third Stanley Cup in 6 years.  As much as I enjoyed another Cup, I cherished the beating they gave the Avalanche (and Roy in particular) even more.

Exactly right.  Bettman has proven to be a joke these past few years.  Like I stated before, having the All Star game on a Wednesday night was absured - especially when there was absolutely NOTHING going on last weekend.  No NFL  football, no college football, etc.  And Bettman buries the game on a Wednesday night. The NHL also has to go back to the old WIN, LOSS, TIE standings.  This "OT LOSS" & "SHOOTOUT LOSS" is absolute bullshit, and the average fan cannot comprehend how a team gets a point for losing.  Let them deal with ties, and move on.

He does things on a regular basis that I've only ever seen, like, Mario Lemieux do. Of course, since he plays for the caps, I literally have to hold my breath and hope nothing happens everytime he gets the puck. He's that good.

Wow, it's looking like the Avs will be sellers in the next two weeks for the first time since moving to Colorado.  Fuck Q and his awful handling of goalies, that horrible Theo trade and they sure as hell better play this year out with some fucking pride.  Q must go!  I just wish Andy Murray was still out there.  My best idea is to move Svatos while his youth and possible talent lures some good prospects with a few on D.  The Avs really need a strong defensive D man.  Perhaps they be on the markey for Souray or his ilk bc they have no leader back there right now.  Oh and can fucking Theo and eat the salary already.  He's a fucking train wreck but that doesn't stop Q from trying all the time and killing a very young goaltenders confidence.  He's horrible with goaltenders.

Then again, Carolina, who's currently in 8th place, has been sucking as well.  I probably hate them more than I should, but they piss me off on the same level as Red Sox fans, and they're nearby. But at least they have the common decency to root for the Sabres when the playoffs roll around if they don't make it in.

Of course, I never miss an Avs game.  I've only missed two in the last decade due to fucking blackout rules with Chicago and their terrible ownership.  As for last night's game, it kept the Avs afloat for the time being.  If Q puts Theo in for any other reason to rest Budaj in back to back situations he has to be fired immediately.  Fucking Budaj was awesome last night once again, just imagine if Q didn't fuck with the rotation every other game and the Avs played half the D they used to.  This kid has all the tools, now he just needs his fucking idiotic coach to let him play.  One bad game in ten doesn't mean you lose the starting job.  In fact, most of his bad games are due to horrible play in front of him as they truly lack a leader on D.

spoon

I'd say there in a much better position then the were in last year at this time. They made some great offseason moves (Dumont and Arnott), along with keeping Hartnell, Erat and Legwand in Nashville.  Also, it helps to have their main goalie healthy again and a backup with some great experience from last year.  Now they made a good/sneaky move to add blueline depth and toughness with the addition of defenseman Vitaly Vishnevski from the Thrashers.  First they moved Josef Vasicek to acquire Eric Belanger who they then moved for Vishnevski.  Nice work to get the man they want by the Pred's front office.  So all in all, they really look like a huge contender to me this year versus last despite a very similar record.  Let's remember, they already have Kariya, Sullivan and many others who are very hungry to make a run at The Cup as well.  Not the favorite, but a sure contender.
