We so didn't deserve that win haha

[Thoronas]

Henrik is tied with AO for most points and there's two periods left. Could be a good night.

How to give 2 points away to a division rival, and give a freebie to all your playoff contender competition

Written by the Montreal Canadiens


yes I know Buffalo has the division champ practically locked up.

I'm not gonna gloat about a shootout win, as I think the shootout is fucking retarded. Being up 3-2 in the 3rd and giving up the lead is not the kind of thing I want to see heading into April. But Theo looked great, we rolled three good lines even without Laich, and Carlson is really coming into his own on the blue line. I swear if that kid hits one more post I'm gonna put my fist through my flat screen.

[Sepukku]

Randomly made up stat calculations is randomly made up. Crosby should be #1 - hes the common denominator between the Olympic gold medalists and the Stanley Cup champions (and two time confrence champions).

Also, if we wanna talk "playing without"... Laich my ass, Malkin and Gonchar both conspicuously absent from the Pens best performance against the Caps this year. I smell Russian conspiracy.

These 2 really creep me out sometimes.

Huet starting tonight vs CBJ -_- My season rests on Huet against the humanfagglecane that is Rick Nash.

Unsettling observation: Pens are a combined 0-9 against New Jersey and Washington.

[Arnwulf]

Nash isn't even the one to worry about right now, Vermette and Voracek are on a tear right now, plus Huselius has actually been stepping up his scoring as of late. I just hope we continue to put forth a good effort, the NJ game for us was very disappointing.

Hahaha I was going to post that stat last night. Although to be fair, it is 0-7-2.

[Thoronas]

It's brutal watching teams play out the rest of the season when they are pretty much no way of getting into the playoffs. Anaheim last night just didn't have any gas left. At this point if your team isnt going into the playoffs they should be letting the youngsters play to get some experience.

Carolina is like the only exception of this, they're sweet to watch atm for some reason. Glad to see Edmonton have a little spark left to help the Hawks out the other day, but I've seen 5-6 of their games this year and holy hell were they a train wreck of a team.

So just saw a video from youtube of a canucks fan punching a ducks fan last night in GM place. Crowd cheers him on and he takes a bow before being escorted out by security.



Oh Canucks fans why must you be so classy.

[Sepukku]

Fucking awesome hahaha he beat him down pretty good. Loved the one where the jersey was over his head and he undercut him right in the face through the jersey under his arms.


And I count it as 0-9 cause OT losses count for nothing in playoffs ?_?

[Ivaden]

Interesting, a drunk Canadian acts the same as a drunk American.

[Blarg]

there was a bee around the american because they all smell and the canadian was trying to swat it away

[Richybear]

That just made me think of the classiness here during a Canaucks/Oilers game.
It was right after Terrace won the Hockeyville thing.
But in the full clip, you see Sam Gagner start an end-to-end rush and score, but really quickly at the start, there's a guy holding a "Terrace Is Hockeyville!" sign to get on TV, since that'd be a sure way for CBC to flash on him. Some guy pulls it out of his hands and rips it.

Linked because I know I'd botch the youtube tags. Only clip I could find, no audio, but all you need is the first few seconds.

Looks like that worked out well for you. 5 goals on 20 shots. Enjoy the 8.80 GAA this week.

I love the pause at 3 seconds to ask the guy to hold his beer.

[Selamis]

Fucking Hawks. Fucking Huet.

[Sepukku]

Why did they even let him stay in the game that long? WHY DO THEY EVEN LET HIM STAY IN THE LEAGUE THIS LONG?!?!

I saw 8-3 and immediately dropped him from my roster. I was already losing goalie categories but now I'm totally sunk. Just starting all my goalies every game the remainder of the week hoping for a shutout to steal that category.
