Glad I missed the game last night, couldn't even keep track of the score which is good because it would have fueled my drunken anger, what a goddamn mess of a season, just tank and plan for next year already please.
 
My favorite Manics post:

Manics said:
I didn't realize it until I saw him playing tonight but Luca Caputi reminds me of a boyhood friend I had. I was something like 6 and he was about the same age or just a bit older. Renzo was his name, real italian looking, more so than me.  A son of a very close family friend, my dad's compare. We used to have so much fun in the basement together playing floor hockey with a tennis ball, wrestling and rolling around on the floor. My first truly best friend. Sadly they moved back to Italy. I saw him again years later but we grew apart. It was to be expected with such a distance between us, different friends and interests. Anyway I just got nostalgic seeing Luca tonight, he reminds me so much of Renzo. I can see him becoming a favorite player of mine.

Manics last prediction on GAF:

Stay classy, Manics!
 
you'd think if the NHL was only going to have 1 game today, they'd highlight something a little better than the offensive shit show of Preds/Flames
 
Posted this in the old thread accidently:

Just finished watching the Habs game...wish I didn't. So fucking depressing. Hope 2012 is better. The team just can't catch a break. The Panthers can also go fuck themselves, they moved up some notches on my NHL team hatred list.

Also: Emelin was awesome.

Edit: RIP Penis and Manics :(

I read about some panther throwing racial slurs towards PK? And the Florida president saying something about the habs being dead you know anything about that?

At the end of the first PK drove to the net for a scoring chance and Barch took PK down with scrum occuring after that. Apparently the linesman heard it, PK didn't and Barch was ejected. I though Florida was pretty dirty in general during the game.

Didn't hear about the president.

:D :D :D holy shit! Great great news good to see management on top of this and not letting this go too late. He leads the NHL with shots blocked as well now they just need to give him the C.
 
Sad news to see the captains of Leafs-GAF gone with Penis and Manics.

We'll have to move on without them sadly, still a long season boys. Things are looking awful now but hopefully January things start to turn around again.

edit: Also nice OT Quick. We don't seem to get one of these until the playoffs, hopefully you've started a nice trend for NHL-GAF.
 
Holy shit at the Gorges deal... Long term and good price. Wow. Congrats Habs fans. Gorges is one of my favourite Habs d-men. I hate your team and enjoy your place in the standings but I can't help but like guys like Cammalleri, Subban, Gorges.

I liked Epic and Manics but I'm not sorry to see Manics gone at all, not after his meltdown. I read his posts on Twitter... what a fucking bully.
 
Blues have a grand total of TWO away games this month. If they don't rake up the points they're going to be in trouble.

I think you're the only one who likes Cammalleri.
 
Flames need a goal, this streak can't end!

Predators' last win that was by more than one goal was November 17th - a 4-1 win over Toronto

I can't hate the guy, despite how lazy he can be and how awful his compete level is 90% of the time.

I don't hate him I'm just getting very frustrated with a 39 goal scorer only having 8 goals right now for $6 million.
 
why isn't this stickied yet? :/ Manics/penis giving nhl-gaf a bad name

pumped for the classic tomorrow. I'm not sure if we can ever beat the rags this year, lol, but it'll still be great to watch. <3 outdoor games.
 
So Bryz isn't starting tomorrow, is there any big reason for it, or is it simply because he hasn't performed to expectation and this is Laviolette's way of punishing him?

And I didn't even know he had a Twitter account until TSN posted it. The guy seems even more hilarious during interviews now, after 24/7.

Just cause you missed the post in the December thread and it deserves more attention as it's happening a lot lately:

Acid, why would you do this: http://www.mercurynews.com/sharks/ci_19643360 (just kidding). Awful news story though, drunk fans are idiots no matter what team. Canucks just bring out stronger rivalries with a lot of these teams.

I'm well aware of that story, it is indeed awful. Bay Area sports fans are not strangers to stupid drunken shit, stupid Raiders and their shitty fans.

Edit: I read the update on the story and it was a drunken middle aged woman that bumped her. Kinda surprised actually.

It's not that he hasn't met some high bar or something.... he's been shit. He's getting benched on a high profile stage to send a message.

"Sending a message" is the better way of saying it, rather than "punishing him".

At least it gives Jay Onrait material on SportsCentre.

Man, Manics really lost it when Penis got banned. Can't say I'm too surprised he got the boot himself with the way he went over the edge.
