National Hockey League

[WingedWarrior]

Washington can never hold off a team. They'll have like a 4 goal lead heading into the 3rd and blow it away.

 

Freaking Heatley is on fire in San Jose. >_<

[ass reamer]

I was f*cking shocked last night when Toronto beat Washington.

No more shocked than I was, believe me. We're the walking wounded right now with lots of AHL call-ups skating for us. We came out with no energy and were lucky Varly kept us in the game as long as he did.

 

Pretty sh*t weekend for the Caps. We had 2 very winnable games with the Habs and Leafs and wind up coming out of it with only one point.

[ClingingMArs]

Unbelievable how inconsistent the Caps are...

[WingedWarrior]

Hopefully they'll be just as crappy on Monday...

[darthYENIK]

This Duck season is giving me flashbacks of the 90s.

[Scifen]

As much as I hate Carey Price, who has been nothing but a bad omen for the Canadiens for a good year now. He's been playing pretty hot the last few games, I'll give him that.

I agree. If it weren't for him, the Canadians would have lost against Columbus last night for sure.

[darthYENIK]

Did anyone see Keith Ballard smack Thomas Vokoun in the head with his stick? What the f*ck was he thinking?

[WingedWarrior]

Is it wrong for me to initially think it was a bit funny?

 

 

You can watch it here.

gg Keith Ballard, gg.

[Tsuroki]

I know the official statement is that it was an accident... but that looks like a deliberate attack on the goalie.

 

I could just imaging him muttering "way to do your job, you useless piece of sh*t" (or something to that effect) as he took the swing.

 

Nasty stuff.

[WingedWarrior]

Allegedly he tried to take a swing at the crossbar.

 

Marty Brodeur is officially the all-time leader in shutouts, with his shutout last night against the Pens. Grats' Marty.

[Ryan]

Any of you guys gonna be following the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship over the holidays?

 

I'm so pumped for it. I think I actually forward to it more then Christmas.

[WingedWarrior]

I'll try to, only to check out the prospects. Mainly just Eberle, Schenn, Nazem Kadri (fecking Burke stole him from us in the draft >_<), Taylor Hall, and Ottawa's pick Jared Cowen.

[Runey]

I think I'm done watching NHL this year, apart from the Winter Classic, I'll most likely tune in. I'm done with the Hurricanes, at least until the front office recognizes that Paul Maurice is a complete and utter failure as a coach and fires him.

 

 

 

4 goals in one period? Are you f*cking kidding me?

[WingedWarrior]

You think that's bad?

 

 

Ottawa outshot Pittsburgh too.

[Runey]

Yeah, but Pittsburgh was at home and is one of the elite teams in the league. Montreal did that to us in our own building.

[WingedWarrior]

I still can't over the fact Pittsburgh was basically turned into an elite powerhouse over night. f*cking Gary Bettman.

[Runey]

I still can't over the fact Pittsburgh was basically turned into an elite powerhouse over night. f*cking Gary Bettman.

Only thing I hate is Sidney Crosby's attitude. It's like he thinks his sh*t smells better than everyone else's. I can't stand people like that.

[darthYENIK]

Of course he thinks that. He's spent his entire life being told it. It's all he knows.

[Ryan]

What blowout in the Canada vs Latvia game. Canada ended up winning 16-0. Final shot count was like 60 to 10.

[Tsuroki]

What blowout in the Canada vs Latvia game. Canada ended up winning 16-0. Final shot count was like 60 to 10.

I started feeling bad for Latvia as the second period started up. They were slipping and sliding every which way, couldn't even find their own legs... it was a total gong show.

[Ryan]

Anyone else gonna be watching the US vs Canada game tonight? Should be a good one.

 

FYI: Over half the US team plays in Canada.

[Runey]

That's nothing unusual in sports, for someone to play in another country they were born in. Especially in hockey and soccer (football to the rest of th world, I know).

 

And I'll tune in if I can find it.

[Tornado Rex]

Thanks for reminding me. I'll be out most of the night but I have it recording now Hopefully it's as good as last year's game.

[Ryan]

Yet another new year's thriller.

 

I have to admit, when Canada was down 4-2 in the start of the third, I thought it was all over. But we found a way and came back. f*ck yeah!!!!!!

 

Semi-finals here we come.

[darthYENIK]

Yeah, great night for me. No party, Ducks lose, and then the US juniors blow it.

[WingedWarrior]

Yeah, great night for me. Went to a party, Sens won, and then the US juniors blow it.

[Ryan]

Semi-finals today!

 

Sweden vs USA

 

Canada vs Switzerland

[Tsuroki]

USA wins the gold. Well deserved, imo. I'm no hockey buff, but from the general flow of the games, it looked like the USA team was performing more impressively overall.

 

( Hopefully the Olympics can make things right, though. )

By right You mean, team USA winning gold on the thirty year anniversary of the miracle on ice.

 

The Ducks looked good tonight for the first time at least this year.
