lol jokinen

Forgot to mention... Why the hell don't you put Gaborik out there in the shootout? WTF?

4/11/2010 5:59:45 PM

Gaborik isn't good in the shootout.

4/11/2010 6:37:42 PM

Yeah I see now that he is a career 2 for 18. Pretty terrible.

Sidney Crosby is in the middle of a PISSED fest against the Islanders right now. He has 2 goals and 3 assists which moves him into the goal scoring lead (Stamkos still has one period left to play and is behind by 1), and puts him tied for second in scoring with Ovechkin and 3 points back of Sedin. An 8 point night would get him the Art Ross (shared with Sedin). Last 8 point game was Lemieux in 1988.

Time for the Playoffs Thread in 3...2...1...

4/11/2010 10:24:43 PM

sometimes i feel like games against the islanders shouldn't count in stats

kind of like how i think the nfl shouldn't show highlight reels involving games against the browns

4/11/2010 10:26:14 PM

goalie gets a penalty, that goalie should serve the penalty.

4/11/2010 10:36:08 PM

Empty net for two minutes!

4/11/2010 10:41:33 PM

orrrr, you put the backup goalie in while your starter sits in the box.

4/11/2010 10:51:11 PM

Two minutes of even-strength play with a back-up goalie in net? That's a ratings gold mine! Gary Bettman would love it!

4/11/2010 10:56:47 PM

you still lose A player from the ice, you would just obviously chose to go with a goalie and the PK lines instead of the usual 2 def. and 3 forwards. But if you wanted to go empty net 5 on 5, sure!

I see.

So what you're saying is that would be more likely to get implemented before no-touch icing?

Oh, and fuck Versus.

4/12/2010 12:56:03 AM

as a goalie, this is the dumbest thing i've ever heard

i will slash whoever i damn well please, and i will help kill my own penalty

fuck you if you think it should be any different

4/12/2010 4:12:43 AM

the Lightning fired Rick Tocchet and their GM.

BYE VINNY!!

4/12/2010 10:35:05 AM

they'll continue to be in a perpetual state of acquiring high draft picks and firing personnel for awhile, at least they have a cup to make their organization look at least partially competent. they are probably the southeast team i hate the least though.

LOL @ florida dropping confetti and streamers at their home finale. let's celebrate being the laughingstock of the league for the last decade. i'd love to get a tally of players on the roster who actually want to stay there.

4/12/2010 10:55:53 AM

why the hell would Florida celebrate this season!? that is one shitty franchise. Hey, let's trade an awesome goaltender for a dude who sucker punched a guy, ending his career! That's perfect!

4/12/2010 11:26:28 AM

the franchise is a joke, and i'd feel bad for the fans but a good portion of them are in hiding due to the team being shit for 10 years or more, and the ones that are out in the open are assholes.

fuck florida, i hope they don't make the playoffs for another 10 years.

4/12/2010 11:28:31 AM

and they lost the game too? i don't understand the celebration there...

4/12/2010 12:27:25 PM

long live Brian Skrudland!

Sounds like you are in cahoots with a few of the B-league goalies at the Ice House.

4/12/2010 2:31:53 PM

RIP Rangers 09-10

they were playing so hot down the stretch, no one thought they had a chance 10 games ago

This was mentioned earlier but I have been waiting to find a photo.

Congratulations to the Florida Panthers on their 5th place Southeast Division finish!

Quote :

"Stephen Weiss has seen many final games come and go. He never participated in one in which his team finished in last place in the Southeast Division. He never partook in one in which confetti fell from the rafters of the Sunrise arena as the players were on the ice "celebrating" the end of what was a most disappointing season. Embarrassing? “Maybe that's a word I'll use off the air,'' Weiss said, his eyes fixed on the wall across the room. “I don't know what to say. It got under my skin to see that. I've seen a lot here. I don't know where these things come from, who makes these decisions. It's certainly not the right way to do things. The jersey off your back is fine, that's good for the fans. But confetti and streamers?”"
