if hockey had a "c'mon man!" segment staal would have just made it

haha I kind of wish they did that, as bad as Berman is for everything else.

it had to be Orpik

fuck

1/17/2012 8:59:34 PM

When's the next time we will see skinner?

1/17/2012 8:59:36 PM

Well, there goes skinner again

1/17/2012 8:59:47 PM

clean hit, too

fucking Orpik

1/17/2012 9:00:33 PM

Skinner is probably my favorite player,

And I hate Orpik...for obvious reasons...

but that was a pretty clean hit I believe

1/17/2012 9:01:28 PM

I wish Brent didn't have to take it upon himself to retaliate for skinner. Someone else should have stepped up.

1/17/2012 9:07:10 PM

Damn that hit on Skinner sucks but it sure ramped up the energy in this game, there have been plenty of heavy hits since Skinner went out. Nice to see Brent kickin some ass too.

1/17/2012 9:08:34 PM

^^

wat

1/17/2012 9:09:44 PM

fuck.yes.

He's back. He actually looked like he smashed his stick when he got off the ice, so he had his wits about him immediately

I just think someone with a letter should have done it.

1/17/2012 9:12:35 PM

Holy Shit

1/17/2012 9:12:50 PM

Trip:Sources are telling me that Skinner could return for this game
as Skinner is taking a faceoff

if I had to guess I'd guess 14 minutes after the hit

I'll be more pleased if he's still out there in a week than I am right now.

to a shootout we go

1/17/2012 9:34:27 PM

Why do they let staal do shootouts?

1/17/2012 9:41:01 PM

ok, we've seen enough of Staal failing in SO situations

plz to give Sutter a shot next time

1/17/2012 9:41:51 PM

goddamn the motherfucking shootout


that being said...staal really should never be in the 1st 3 in the shootout

I'd rather see what wacky shit Jay Harrison would do

1/17/2012 9:43:12 PM

if they aren't gonna go back to ruutu, might as well give sutter or dwyer a shot. at least they haven't proven themselves to be awful in one-on-one situations.

1/17/2012 9:43:41 PM

Id even take dwyer over staal

1/17/2012 9:43:42 PM

That shootout was lost because Shootout Expert Chad LaRose is injured.

1/17/2012 9:49:30 PM

I like Kurt Muller's insistance on ensuring that the captain is responsible at all times, but come on man. Stop running him out there, he is terrible at the shootout, as referenced in every other time he's been in the shootout.

[Edited on January 17, 2012 at 9:56 PM. Reason : foo]

1/17/2012 9:56:07 PM

since we lost every shootout can we start putting out like... Stewart, Brent, and Poni or something ridiculous like that?

1/17/2012 9:56:13 PM

I heard Chuck's rant on Hasenfratz. Said he should be ashamed of taking #2.

Also, Staal's move wasn't bad, Fleury just got to it. A decent shot, a better save.

1/17/2012 10:11:54 PM

Yeah, at least Staal finally tried a move

1/17/2012 10:23:48 PM

Fuck Kerry Fraser. Bastard seemed to hate Mario Lemieux. It was a little disappointing when they made him and Mick McGeough wear helmets at the end of their careers though.

1/17/2012 10:24:24 PM

As for the shootout, I remember the year where we only scored on one shootout attempt during the entire season.

It was Brind'Amour five-hole on Brodeur.

1/18/2012 1:55:37 AM

im going to see the sabres vs blackhawks tonight.

im hoping for lots of concussions and torn ACL's

1/18/2012 7:49:19 PM

came here to post that ^

sounds like a good trade to me.

1/18/2012 7:50:20 PM

Guess where AJ Jenks played his junior hockey.

JUST GUESS.

He also has ZERO points in 25 AHL games this season.

Jon Matsumoto, on the other hand, was Charlotte's leading scorer and will play in the AHL All-Star game.

Why don't we just come out and say we want every Whaler?

1/18/2012 7:52:21 PM

This trade managed to satisfy both of JR's requirements in one bang. One of them vinyl just alluded to. The other is that Dadonov tore us up in a game last season.

1/18/2012 7:54:49 PM

^^ Plymouth Whalers?

just a guess

[Edited on January 18, 2012 at 7:56 PM. Reason : ,]

1/18/2012 7:54:53 PM

Canes get the best player out of the deal, Matsumoto out hurts Charlotte though. Probably going to be a meh trade that clears us of one contract when Dadonov bolts for Russia.

1/18/2012 8:17:29 PM

Jesus Christ that shootout video is painful to watch That's crappy enough to earn him a spot in our shootout lineup for sure.

1/18/2012 8:18:11 PM

At least all these Plymouth whalers are good NHL players.

1/18/2012 9:31:52 PM

my guess is the next trades will be for erik cole and mike commodore

What are Samsonov and Tanabe doing, we could bring them back to right?!?!?

1/20/2012 3:35:53 AM

Gonna go get my Joni Pitkanen bobblehead tonight. Wonder if he's gonna play?

1/20/2012 10:23:55 AM

0% chance of him playing, he hasn't even been started practicing.

[Edited on January 20, 2012 at 10:24 AM. Reason : foo]
