Hunwick is out due to illness...

this is a good opportunity for someone to step up because Hunwick has been playing awful lately, but Babcock just loves him

Babcock is Sacco in disguise.

 

[Pikma]

So the Wild will wear North Stars jerseys for the Stadium Series Alumni game

HUH

 

[lamaroo]

Fuck Shanaplans, fuck Lamoriello. Who else?

 

[Kave_Man]

Fuck Shanaplans, fuck Lamoriello. Who else?

Mark Hunter and Kyle Dubas.

Mark Hunter and Kyle Dubas.

Yeah fuck 'em.

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Is hunwick the D with that amazing speed? I remember getting blown away by it a few years ago

 

[Cake Boss]

Yeah fuck 'em.

Bryan Murray, Dace Cameron and Euegene Melnyk.

 

[lamaroo]

Bryan Murray, Dace Cameron and Euegene Melnyk.

nah they good.

 

[Stasis]

Do you think the expansion is do-able at level 23? It says you should be at 32, and that seems sooooooo far away.

23 no, but earlier than 32 probably. I was at or past 32 already. I can't remember. I feel like the game is pretty easy and you can beat most "boss" mobs at a lower level than you're supposed to be but some encounters will just kick your ass randomly. I suppose it depends on your build/playstyle.

Hags will have 2G, 1A tonight. Though to be fair, one of the goals will be an empty netter.

Sounds about right. One will be on a breakaway. Has he succeeded at that in Anaheim yet? He used to get like 1 or 2 every game but he'd only score like 5 a season from them. He's probably due and he certainly knows Hank!

Since we are taking about games a little bit. For some reason I had the urge to break out my OG Xbox and play through some old games. Been playing some THUG, Halo 1&2, Timesplitters 2 and Battlefront 2 but oddly enough the game that has been getting played the most is Tiger Woods 06 for some weird reason :lol

It is addicting as fuck for some reason

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Please don't hurt us too bad, Rangers

 

[Pikma]

It's been so damn rainy in SD the past few days. I have so much shit to do but I don't feel like doing anything

I always wanted to get Tiger Woods PGA Tour, but I just kept waiting for the next ones year after year until I lost interest. I remember it being a gorgeous game on PS3 and 360.

I spent so much time with Battlefront 2 playing with bots. I miss this game. I'm absolute garbage at EA Battlefront to the point where I'm just turned off by it at times.

 

[MetatronM]

Video tribute for Carl Hagelin. That was nice of us.

 

[MetatronM]

Why exactly was that not icing?

Tiger Woods used to be such a great game then EA fucked it up around 11 I wanna say.

But I like this one since it is still pretty arcadey feel too it. Putting up ridiculously low scores haha

BF2 Galactic Conquest is the fucking best. But yeah i have been playing with bots and me and my old friend have been doing playlists of quick action or whatever. Lots of fun.

Timesplitters 2 though is so fucking fun. Wish it got more love back then, also THUG is the greatest Tony Hawk game IMO

 

[zroid]

Why exactly was that not icing?

not sure... definitely looks like an icing...

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

 

[MetatronM]

Oh, that's why. Because half the officiating crew tonight are rookies. Okay.

 

[zroid]

I wonder why can't you challenge icings? if you can challenge offsides, icing seems like the same idea.

 

[Quick]

Not exactly the same idea.

Offsides seem to only be challenged when there's a goal as a result of a missed call. At least, as far as I've seen this is the case. A lot of zone penetration by the offensive players are borderline offside a lot of times anyway.

Whether or not you review icing, play stops either way. Players get a quick rest and faceoff position is the only thing that'll be determined from that. While that's important, it's not going to directly affect goal differentials (as in, no goal was scored on an icing), like offside reviews have been.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Which Tiger Woods had that Paul Oakenfold track in it? 03?

My buddies and I played A LOT of that game.

 

[MetatronM]

Brass!

Thanks, Ducks.

That's what I meant, when a goal happens immediately after an icing, like for the Ducks just now

I mean I don't like offside reviews since it's usually so marginal and when it's a missed call it rarely affects the play, but just seems like it would be consistent to make icings similarly reviewable.

 

[MetatronM]

Hard to believe this was nearly the Stanley Cup Final 6 months ago.

How long was possession for the Ducks from puck drop to scoring the goal, and did they leave the Rangers' zone? Regardless of these, play was blown dead already for the icing.

No, no. The Ducks committed a clear icing that wasn't blown dead and ended up in the net maybe 5 seconds later.

Regardless, tied at 1 after 1, Rangers actually looking like they were finding their game a little bit toward the end of the period there. Hopefully that continues.

 

[RedRum]

Woo. Made it.

No like, the Ducks iced the puck into the Rangers zone, but the call was missed, and they scored immediately

edit: beaten D: I'm going to get dinner!

Jesus fuck. Well, okay.

 

[RedRum]

Watched the goal on NHL.com. Looks like they waved it off because the puck was near both Ranger and Duck players.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

2 high sticks that resulted in blood, no calls. Fuck

 

[RedRum]

Refs have been way lenient on that shit this season. Even if they make the highstick call, refs will refuse to give 4 minutes. I thought blood was another automatic 2 minutes.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Do I watch Raptors or Habs..?

Bad blood

 

[CosmicQueso]

Good night for a win for truth, justice and the Coyotes way.

Ducks would never cheat anyway. Look at our record

Where's Dubby Doo??

Please win.

From what I understand the four minutes for blood was more convention than strict rule.

Your Original Six overlords are visiting Phoenix. Prepare the red carpet.

Phoenix isn't Winnipeg, at least.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

How do the Rangers only have 7 shots?

 

[MetatronM]

JT going in for an ass kicking from Kesler. Go get 'im, kid.

EDIT: JT actually did better than I expected.

How do the Rangers only have 7 shots?

Questions.

 

[Marvie_3]

I'll still be playing Falllout this time next year, I'm sure of it.

Me too.

Christmas Eve is currently forecasted to be 72 degrees in NYC. That's over 22C in your crazy moon language up there.

Its stupid. I need my winter weather.

 

[MetatronM]

Gibson's getting bodied quite a bit tonight, one way or another.

 

[RedRum]

Rangers PP makes me sleepy.

 

[MetatronM]

This period has been one of Etem's most active as a Ranger.

 

[MetatronM]

Boy, that is a pointless, frivolous penalty.

 

[Razorskin]

Gallagher getting injured at the right time was the greatest thing he could've for his image.

 

[MultiJhonny]
