But then again.. with the Cap.. The money thing is not that important.. But the new stadium is def a must.

The Devils have a better offense and could easily open it up if Crosby came on.  The defense is a trap, doesn't mean they wouldn't open the offense.  It is possible to play both schemes.  Being a defenseman, I could easily adjust to the defense, with the o down the ice.  If your D is full of skilled skaters it wont be a problem.

The Devils are of course a pipe dream.  The only team that would make sense is the Rangers.  They sell out, they are the biggest tv market, and they are close to making the playoffs.  Kevin was simply stating that Pitt. isn't great for him.  I think he is wright in the repect that No one cares that he is the youngest to reach 200pts.  He is kicking ass, but that would have been all over the papers if he broke that in NY

I dont care if he wants a steet named after him or a new car. One of the managers where I work has a nephew in the Isles/Dragons front offices. He said the plan is to buy out Yashin and re-sign Blake and Smyth at the end of the season. It all hinges on Yashin's willingness to take the buyout. Wang was very happy about Blake's comment just before the deadline that he wanted to stay on the Island. It was a 180 degree turnaround from his attitude a couple of weeks ago (supposedly triggered by his agent). Wang apparently bought Smyth a car (Lexus, I think) and a house on the north shore as a welcoming gift. Garth and Wang really want to keep both guys here.  Man, if that guy is telling the truth, i may faint. haha. having both Blake an Smyth back would be great. cut our loses w/ Yashin. So what if we take a cap hit. Then, also sign Souray, but now im just being selfish.

Wow the Avs played the most horrible 3rd period AGAIN but managed to get two points in the end.  At one point they were being outshot 16-1 in the 3rd but somehow both teams scored!  Everyone wants to blame Budaj, but I'm telling you the Avs not only play awful defense when healthy, they have had a ton of injuries on D, with 3 starters out right now!  Bries, Leo and Skras are all out.  While Liles missed a few weeks with a broken foot as well.  However, believe it or not my biggest issue with their D comes with their inability to cover the points and get pucks out of the zone.  The ill strategy they seem to run is a 5 man collapse low and block everything they can, instead of solid positional hockey keeping the wings on the point with a slight collapse only when they can make up the groud to fill the easy shot lanes and keeping an eye on the better D shots like Aucoin, Lidstom and more.  Yet they are always out of position so the D can pinch without any risk at all, and to get the puck out with nobody to move it up to is fucking infuriating!!  Tack on the fact that they play real soft and you'll see why they need to go after some strong D and tough centers in the offseason.  And by the way Gvac, that Maltby hit was real cheap and will cost him when Parker meets him next time.  Mark my words buddy.  This one will carry over, especially if the Avs end up making the playoffs and they meet as the #1/#8 matchup.  The Avs have some tough road ahead, but I can't hope for it more!

Non Hockey fans really didn't not know Gretzky until he went to LA.. Then he started showing up on SNL and all of that when he got to LA... I was still very young then, so i could be wrong. Rangers... They have some good young talent... THEY ARE OVER 500.. So they are not a joke.. HE WOULD BE HUGE IN NY... WAKE THE FUCK UP! Just look at the times with Lemuix in Pitt and And Gretz in LA. Mario was putting up some huge numbers, and you did not hear about him near as much as Gretz. So please do not tell me Sidney should not be in a big time city, for the good of the sport.... I know Hockey would never have done that. But i am just saying, It woulda been best for the sport.

No matter what.  To attract the semi or non hockey fans (right now) Hockey is the kind of sport that if you give it a good chance, it will grow on you... The way you do that (at this time) Is Have a good BIG CITY TEAM... In a BIG CHANNAL.. You can not in good and sound mind tell me that it was a good idea GOING TO BUM FUCK OLN. YOU CAN'T... This sport right now had to do two things... Parody/cap... They did it... Great job... But the 2nd part right now is attracting non hardcore fans.. And American fans right now are fickle.. They tend to watch if there is a good big city involved, good MARKETED young players, and A FUCKING CHANNAL THAT YOU COULD FIND!!!!!

Well the Avs are finally sticking with Budaj and it's paying off bigtime.  They have such an uphill battle it's crazy, but who knows right?  The kid was NHL third star of the week and has now won 4 straight games while Theodore sits on the bench.  It's about time they stuck with him and allowed him to get a fucking rhthym.  Budaj:  22-15-4  .910 save percentage/2.77 GAA with 3 shutouts after todays shutoutTheodore:  11-14-1  .888 save percentage/3.42 GAA 0 shutoutsNow factor in that Budaj got 4 of his losses in relief for Theodore in games where they were down 5-1 coming in and lost 6-5.  So under his relief he allows 1 goal to the opponents 4 and they give the loss to the relief tender??!!  It's the rule, but stupid.  It should follow the pitching rules of MLB in terms of lead changes and or ties at least.  So to me, Theo is 11-18-1 & Budaj 22-11-4.  You do the math and figure out who should be the starting goaltender.  Stop fucking with it Q!!!

What, no Sabers talk tonight?  Overall it was a good game but Kaleta is one hell of a big pussy.  I have a big problem with a guy breaking the code in terms of fighting in that on tivo you could see he and Lappy had agreed to drop the gloves at the faceoff.  This is done in an effort to man up and go to battle without one guy getting an instigator penalty.  As soon as the puck dropped he faked it and then turned and ran against a guy who's physical, but by no means a Parker or Larouque.  Somehow it worked out for a goal but it only pissed the Avs off more and ignited them.  My favorite moment was when Hecht stood up Guite on the Avs and Parker came in and simply leveled him.  He may not add much in terms of offense or skill, but they severely missed him for the last few years as they never had that guy to just make the other guys fear taking liberties with your star players. However, Miller made some great saves and I was happy to see Drury back on the ice but glad he didn't hurt the Avs.  He came real close but hopefully saved his points for the Wild game on Friday.  We need the points so much more then Buffalo right now, and the Sabers can narrow that 6 point gap for the Avs by taking out Minn!  Beat them up too please so that they can't skate well for their games ahead.  In the Avs net, Budaj continues to sparkle against a high powered offense averaging 5.2 goals a game over the last 6, losing only once.  They are the top scoring and best overall team in the league right now so a 3-2 win here on the road is pretty sweet.  Now it's 5 in a row and perhaps my Avs can make this happen.  They now have 3 teams within 10 points and if only one falters there is definitely a shot.  And how about Colorado's two rookies?  They continue to mature and the team is growing in it's efforts to play a full 60 minutes with a focus on D as they have to firepower to score without pushing the limits and taking chances.  Funny, I've never seen this Buffalo forum called the NHL Season Thread so quite.  It reminds me of the yankee thread when they get knocked out of the playoffs.  Only difference is that I actually like th Sabers and Drury a ton.  So much that I root for them in the Eastern Conference and against everyone but the Avs!

He's our native son. Fighting isn't really even his game - he's a pest. And besides, fuck that, the Sabres scored scored because LaPerriere was stupid enough to just drop his gloves. Whatever works. That was one of the most boring games I've listened to all year incidentally. It sounds like the Avs were just trapping when they got the lead, and doing a good job of it. And for whatever reason (I think it was the long rest they've had) the Sabres just couldn't get their legs going and seemed generally disinterested. It happens sometimes, but it doesn't make for particularly compelling hockey, and I'm not just saying that because the Sabres lost. It was just the fashion in which they lost. It reminded me of that bad run in January. Just sort of a "whatever" game.

Rangers move into the 8th playoff spot... nice. Taking the home and home against the fishsticks.Chris Simon is a punk and I think he will get 10 games for that slash on Hollweg. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets the rest of the season. That was pretty brutal.

Well, we won't disagree there even though Simon helped protect the core Colorado players in route to a Stanley Cup in 1996.  He's just an idiot plain and simple.  Yet I truly believe Bertuzzi is the worst of the pack.  Funny enough I got in an argument with him during round #1 of the Stanley Cup playoff at the Westin Tabor Center in Denver when I flew out to see some first round games.  It just so happened that the Canucks were staying at the same hotel (along with the D-backs/I met Randy Johnson on the rough top hot tub...weird and the NBA team who I cared so little about I forget who was in town.  I was actually talking hockey with Crawford and the Sedins near the front desk getting coffee and they were real cool.  I was a big fan of Marc in Colorado and we were talking about his strange exit and the Sedins were just kids around my age at the time and real shy.  So Brashear and Bertuzzi walk up after I was talking all sorts of hockey with them and a few other players (no Naslund though dammit) and Bertuzzi says, "Stop talking to these Denver assholes, what the hell is wrong with you guys."  Marc laughed and appologized and Brashear came over and said he can be an ass and proceeded to sit down with my friend and I and talked hockey fighting for about a half hour.  He was strictly an enforcer back then and he was a cool mofo.  Bertuzzi however, I hated him before he even pulled that fucking stunt.  And by the way, Moore hasn't stepped on the ice in an NHL, let alone any league since the hit.  He should fucking pay for that move with a portion of his salary from here on in.  So it just so happens we see him later that night in the hotel lobby after the Avs took a 2-0 lead in the series and started giving him shit.  No kidding, this guy really wanted to fight us and we just kept laying it on thick.  When any other Canuck was around we were nothing but cool, but to him we just kept picking at the wound.  I'd love to have it out with Frankenstein these days.  The fucking fury I have built up for him is unspeakable.  And now he's in Detroit....Perfect.

I wasn't talking about the literal speed of the game. I'm sure they were skating fast and everything. I'm talking about the flow of the game. There was absolutely no flow. It wasn't very open at all - it was like pre-lockout trap era hockey. That's not Buffalo's game. The Sabres always have trouble with Florida and Jersey because they still play that way. From what I saw of the game, it didn't look like Kaleta agreed to shit. Laperriere just dropped his gloves and everyone else went. And week is right he did look embarrassed after the fact. There has to be an agreement for the code to come into play.

I don't see how Simon's hit was any different from McSorley's hit.  He never stepped on the ice again.  Simon has a checkered past including racism despite being American-Indian.  He has been a scumbag for a long time.  He got away with a lot with Washington because they were never a threat.  Very dirty player.  I say black ball him for good.

Just in case anyone was wondering, here's a list of Simon's previous 4 suspensions - 1) a three-game ban in 1997 after directing a racial slur toward player Mike Grier, who is black. 2) During the playoffs in 2000, Simon sat out Game 2 of a series against Pittsburgh after he cross-checked Penguins defenceman Peter Popovic across the throat in the opener while with Washington. 3) In April 2001, Simon received a two-game ban for elbowing Anders Eriksson of Florida. 4) He then was given a pair of two-game suspensions in 2004 - for cross-checking Tampa Bay's Ruslan Fedotenko and then jumping on him and punching him, and for kneeing Dallas defenceman Sergei Zubov.

The prosecutor is probably just applying some pressure to the league to police itself. If not, she's an attention whore who's trying to get her name in the papers. I  just saw the play for the 1st time. It's not acceptable, and he should be punished. But it was nowhere near what I was expecting, given the 24/7 coverage it has recieved. Shit like that and worse used to go on alot in hockey, and its only in the past (10?) years or so that everyone has to keep their sticks below the waist.

I agree with Matty on this one, had Hollweg's injury been any worse I would defnitely be on a soapbox about how wrong it was yadda yadda, thankfully it only looks like he split Hollweg's lip, which is pretty light as far as things in the NHL go. That isn't to say that it isn't wrong and the guy's not a scumbag, 'cause he is, but I think his history speaks more to the disciplinary situation than the actual incident does. I'd lump him in the same category as Bertuzzi and Brashear, though, and I NEVER thought I'd say this, I now no longer thing Brashear is the second biggest scumbag in the NHL, he's only 3rd.Those were great games between the Rangers and Islanders last week.

I didn't know about Simon's past transgressions, but I'm sure a lot of goons in the league have similar checkered pasts.  Let's not even bring the racism angle into this - this was two white guys and this has nothing to do with this. Remember when Ron Hextall used his stick to chop a guy's legs out?  I believe he got 20-30 games for that.  The guy he chopped was ok.  I think the same penalty should be assessed to Simon.  I know Hollweg has a concussion, but this wasn't the Brashear/McSorley or the Bertuzzi deal. Gwen and I are Ranger fans, and we're defending an Islander.  This should show you how insane it is.  Using a murder/attempted murder corollary here is stupid.

I agree but if his stick went 6 inches higher he would have been in that catagory.  It's the act that gets you in trouble, not the result.  I played for many years at high levels and I've done some crazy things in the heat of battle and paid the price.  Part of the game to a certain extent.  But once you choke up on that stick and let loose, no telling what's next.  But the court system needs to stay out of this whole thing.  Simon may have ruined his career.  That should be enough.  Look for him at a roller hockey rink near you (like McSorly).  I love discussing the game with intelligent hockey fans/

I don't know if there is a different Brashear, but I meant Donald Brashear who is now on the Caps.  He always starts a fucking ruckus when they play the Rangers and when he was on philly he did the same dirty shit.  It's not like he's a guy who hits hard and clean, he's the guy who takes cheap shots and just starts crap with people to be a douche.  Thus, I lumped him in with Bertuzzi and Simon.

Gwen, thats what guys like Brashear are PAID to do...you can't have other guys taking liberties with your superstars. People have to know that if they take a shot at Alexander Mikhailovich Ovechkin or Alexander Semin, Brashear or Jon Erskine is coming over the boards the next shift and knocking someone around. That's why Pittsburgh just picked up Georges LaRaque at the deadline to give them some toughness around those pussies Malkin and Crosby. That being said, there IS a line as a "pest" you do NOT cross, and Simon CLEARLY crossed the line between what is acceptable, and what is not.  I believe the players do a fairly good job of policing themselves in that regard (see when Matt Bradley pummeled Jarkko Ruutu after pulling Ruutu's own jersey over his head....an unwritten rule that youre not supposed to punch a guy in that situation, but Ruutu's reputation as a dirty player is/was such that Bradley kept pummeling him, as he should have). But in some extreme cases, like this one, there's definitely more that the league should do in addition to whatever punishment Simon gets on the ice from people taking a run at him.

The Detroit News said "the guess is" Smyth will get a deal worth $6M per year or more and that the Rangers will join the Islanders at the front of the line of bidders. Rangers GM Glen Sather drafted Smyth when he was GM of the Oilers. As for the Islanders having an edge in re-signing him and perhaps choosing the adventure of a different lifestyle for him and his wife, Smyth told Newsday: "I'm not worried about anything right now except for winning and getting in the playoffs. My wife's back on the Island checking things out maybe for a place to rent right now and sort of get the survey of the land. Time will tell what happens." Smyth, 31, was acquired from the Oilers on Feb. 27 for two prospects and a first-round pick.</td></tr></tbody></table>That would be fantastic as a Ranger fan. Islanders give up 2 good prospects and picks, for a half a year. The Prospects turn out good, the pick they get turns out good, And Smith signs and has a good career with us. That would be just sweet.

The rangers do stink!  They have no ability to handle a 2 goal lead.  Buncha bums as my grampa would say.  Anyhow, our D is so riddled with injury it isn't even funny and now you can add Rachunek into that.  I don't give 2 shits about him, but now we only have 5 defensemen who're averaging in the 20+ minutes on the ice a game.  And maybe someone can tell me why the hell DiPietro was so far out of the goal with 2 defensemen down there with him?  There was absolutely NO reason for him to be that close to the blue line to play the puck when you've got 2 guys iwth ya.  He just likes to try and make these retartedly flashy plays, half of which he bungles.  If he's out for a while the islanders are outta luck for the playoffs, 'cause Dunham stinks.  As a rangers fan I can easily attest to that.

Looking at Marty's career stats, he usually plays about 70+ games a year. I doubt he'll be too exhausted, *cough* but we can only hope *cough*.I can honestly say that I usually have no idea who their backup goalie is these past few years. All I remember for NJ's backups are Schwab,Terreri, and Clemmenson.

Not only have they been one of the more dominant teams but they will continue to be! The scouting is awesome, every year they have a few new kids, you hear there name and you are like "who?" Then they end up in the rookie of the year running. Madden, Rafalski, Gomez, Gionta, Parise, and Zajack to name a few.

Here's a fact, when Marty is done, so are the devils.  Without him, they go nowhere.  And truly with their position at this time he should get some starts off.  It's not an automatic loss either, but come on, playing him every game is crazy and the devs almost do just that.

Yah Gwen, for some reason they do get a lot of HD Net games don't they.  Is it me, or is the HDN broadcast team very quiet and the score on the screen off a little (and too small)?  And when Budaj gets consecutive starts he definitely gets into the flow better which has built his confidence a ton.  He's super athletic and very good positionally.  He simply finds ways to win games and turns it up as the game goes on as his stats get better with each period.  All goalies have bad goals and bad games once in a while, but how they respond is what really seperates the good from the great.  And so far he's very Roy-esque in that he shuts it down after a bad goal almost as if it motivates him to not allow a single goal more.  And he has come back from losses with wins almost every time, especially after a bad outing.  The only problem earlier in the year was that Q kept going back and forth with...that other guy?? killing his confidence as Q has been known to do with young goalies.  Update:  The Avs also came back from a 3-1 deficit last night to a streaking Sharks team for an OT win pulling them to only 4 points back of the flames now!  This 8-0-1 run has been against some really tough teams and Budaj, Sakic, Stastny, Hejduk and many others have been playing amazingly.  This one came in a back to back night for the Avs with a lot of travel and less then 20 hours between games.  Also, the Sharks had only allowed 4 goals in their last 6 games total and none in the 1st period during that span.  The Avs were able to get one in the first, en route to a 4-3 win in OT!  Now the flames have to be very concerned as a huge double digit gap has now shrunk to 4 pts in a very short amount of time.  Also, the flames now have games against two President Trophy race teams in the Predators and Red Wings before hitting the road for some really tough matchups where they have been the league's worst team (on the road).  Check their road record, it's crazy.  The Avs have to go to Edmonton (in a real bad slump since losing Smyth) for back to back games before a very tough part of their schedule comes up.  This should be really interesting and I hope it means playoff drinks for Gvac and I as our teams battle it out again.  It's been a while and the rivalry needs some reheating!

Gvac

03-19-2007, 01:55 PM

I couldn't agree more about the Colorado/Detroit rivalry bro.  It would be great for the two of them to meet up again in the playoffs and renew old feelings.  I find it funny that you're gonna be rooting for the Wings tonight, though.  Maybe it'll rub off on you and you'll decide you really don't hate Hockeytown as much as you thought.  <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/happy.gif" border="0" />

Tootoo took out Modano with a clean check, and Modano popped right up.  Clearly he wasn't even fazed.  Robidas came charging in at Tootoo well after the puck had been cleared away from the area and Tootoo stiffed him.  A suspension is ludicrous.

I see your point, Greg, but I also am of the mindset that Tootoo saw the hit coming as retribution for the hit he laid on Modano.  That being said, he should've taken the hit (in the quick shot of the hit I saw it didn't look like a charge, but again it was out of context of the game) and then dropped his gloves to take on Robidas who hit him rather than just cold clocking him like that.  Was it just him connecting at the right angle and speed to knock him out like that or was it that he purposely hit him that hard?

Sorry Greg but Robidas wasn't coming in with the stick up or a fist so it was uncalled for.  Tootoo is a fucking asshole always looking to hurt someone out there, not making a good clean check to up the play on the ice.  I'm all for hitting the stars as well, but you have to know you'll need to fight if you do and he took a cheap ass shot there. Robidas was coming in to grab Tootoo at best as Robidas isn't exactly a brawler.  There just seems to be an overall lack of respect for the players of late.  I really can't put my finger on it, but the code hockey players have played by for years seems to be disappearing of late.

The only teams that actualy earned cups was the Devils, with your logic on payroll. Kevin, that's not the point.  It's the difference in the sports and the grit and work one has to go through to win a cup versus how pure talent alone can win a world series.  Your Rangers in hockey sum that up so well, versus the success of the Yankees.  Both spent tons, top payroll for both leagues and look at the differences.  Now I realize that other factors come into play, but who was attacking your devils?  Not me, it's the yanks buddy.  Not to mention that some teams did it with legit trades in the NHL, versus contract buy outs in MLB that only the chosen few can handle.  Also, it's different when a team has it's stars cash in and you pay them, versus creating your whole rotation or otherwise to be in the big game.  I think all sports need to have a veto issue on trades like most fantasy football teams have.  I hate the rent a player mentality of the NHL and yes, even the Avs were guilty of this.  Yet most of the time they kept the players they traded for and gave up good talent to get them too.  And look at the difference in those salaries versus that of MLB.  Big difference as well.  If you can't see that, you're blind, not just strange.  Where did you find those stats as well?  I'd love to check out the 96 Avs and others in the last few decades.  And can you find MLB salaries for the yankee championship years.  I'm sure they were the top paid team for most of them as well so that kills your argument.

Celebrate on your home ice crybaby!Sorry, I disagree again about the organization here.  Sure they didn't need do a tribute to Modano, that much I agree with, but Nashville has been a drain on the NHL thus far. "I understand it's a competitive situation, but we're also working together to sell the game," Lites told the paper. "They get more money from revenue sharing than any team in the league, they voted against the new schedule because they wanted to have an easier schedule for themselves. They take and take and take and take and never give back, and I'm sick of it." "They don't bring in any money to the league, voted against a real schedule bc they want to play the weak ass Blue, Blue Jackets and Hawks all year not the Pacific and Northwest teams who are much tougher.  I have very little respect for the front office of the Preds, but on the ice I really like them.  And I guess they have a point about Modano helping US hockey as he is the leading US born scorer in history now.  Edmonton was nice enough to do a tribute to Sakic when in town.  Colorado did something for Deadmarsh and many others have in the past so it's not out of the question.  The difference is that it's celebrating a goal against the home team and I can't get behind that.

Okay first of all the Rangers versus Philly game was insane.  I still don't understand what started the Orr Fedoruk fight.  It was for sure a scary moment.  All of a sudden energy is high 'cause of last game between these two and we see the checking line is started and then all of a sudden people are going nuts and we look over and see the fight already in progress.  It looks like it was just some jawin' that ended in a fight and that Fedoruk got hit just right and dropped.  If I heard otherwise I'm sure it'd be different for Orr and I hope that isn't the case.  There is an article in today's NY Times that says "Fedoruk later told Flyers officials at the hospital that he remembered everything about the fight. “I looked at him and said, ‘Let’s go,’ ” Fedoruk said of the fight. “I’m a little sore, but I feel fine right now.”"Anyhow, second game for Andrew and I this season, second shut-out we attended.  Even though it was against the worst team in the league it was still good to win.

And the Avs kept rolling last night with a 5-1 win over Edmonton on the road last night.  It really should have been a shutout for Budaj, but the Avs got lazy on the PP with the 5-0 lead and made some big mistakes coming out of their end leading to a point blank shot from the circle which Budaj still stopped and even with the extra man there was nobody covering the second man in front of the net who chipped in the rebound.  It was a lazy/dumb play, but no biggie bc it did get them right back on their game.  I'd rather it happen in a 5-0 game no doubt.  So the Avs are now 9-0-1 in their last 10!  The next game is on the road against the struggling Oilers once more this Friday, while the flames play at home against Nashville.  If things go right, the Avs can be down only 2 points come Saturday!  And let's not forget the flames and Avs play twice more this year too!  I haven't seen the Avs play this good since the lockout and if they make the playoffs they'll be real tough as an 8 seed.  No doubt in my mind.  First things first though.

All of a sudden energy is high 'cause of last game between these two and we see the checking line is started and then all of a sudden people are going nuts and we look over and see the fight already in progress. It looks like it was just some jawin' that ended in a fight and that Fedoruk got hit just right and dropped. If I heard otherwise I'm sure it'd be different for Orr and I hope that isn't the case. There is an article in today's NY Times that says "Fedoruk later told Flyers officials at the hospital that he remembered everything about the fight. “I looked at him and said, ‘Let’s go,’ ” Fedoruk said of the fight. “I’m a little sore, but I feel fine right now.”"Anyhow, second game for Andrew and I this season, second shut-out we attended. Even though it was against the worst team in the league it was still good to win. It was payback from a cheap hit that Fedoruk had earlier in the year, i think it was on Jagr... Orr was not dressed for that game... He was going after Fedoruk, right away.

It's amazing, isn't it?  Same thing in baseball; ever since the Brewers came over to the National League they OWN the Reds.  They could finish dead last in the division, but they'll kick the shit out of Cincy all year long.

not nhl, but its hockey and didn't want to start a new thread.so just got back from my mens league where i went fucking BALLISTIC on a guy.  i play goalie and my team was down 3 with about a minute left in the game.  there was a 1 on 1 coming my way, other team gets around my d at top of circle but got puck knocked away.  i guess my player gave him a shove and he turned into me DRIVING HIS FUCKING ELBOW INTO MY HEAD.  i start going nuts, i skate down the goal line at him and fucking blast him in the face with my catching glove, he was wearing a visor so i landed pretty nice.  throw a few more punches and the guy gets my mask off but i don't stop going after him, i had to have my team pull me away.  i was fucking screaming at the top of my lungs shit like GO FUCK YOUR MOTHER FAGGOT and YOU'RE A FUCKING SCUMBAG, YOU COCKSUCKER and about 10 other choice phrases.  refs tell me to get back in my crease, i take the long way, up around the circle just to get some air and i see the other goalie standing inside my blue line.  look him straight in the eye and scream, "GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!"  he got scared shitless and skated back to the other end.man i was so fucking pissed.  this asshole took a fucking run at me with his fucking elbow to my head in a fucking men's league game.  i don't think i have ever been so fucking pissed in my entire life.   FUCK!  my team was going nuts for me in the locker room which was pretty nice.  i just wish they knew how to play some fucking defense.

Week, you are the only goalie that I like.  As a defensemam I must say, that I am impressed by your intensity.  I am also disappointed that a defenseman on your team didn't clock him before you had to get involved.  And yes, he should never have gotten that close to you.  Sad that the horseman couldn't play together.  You would never get touched.Side note: Fowards are pussies who only go after goalies, they know they can not take on anyone else. So when they get the chance they do
