Hey now. If Johnny Bower had Quick's fat suit, maybe he wouldn't have had to retire at the young age of 46.
I remember that picture! Forgot that was you.
Our logo's a whale.
literally laughed out loud at your post and Bish's reply in the moving to Vancouver thread lol!
Makes sense brah, whales dive deep.
I bet he'll even be at the movies, what a poser!
We must enjoy it while it last, and it is glorious.
And Sharks choke out of water, or near stanchions.
It was a boring game to watch, but Torts saying "It's two bad teams playing really bad, and we played worst" is him being a butt hurt bitch because Habs played a perfect road game and the Rangers couldn't crack their defense. Our best forward is Plekanec compared to the Rangers, Nash, Gaborik, and Richards, obviously they're not going to be run and gun. I'd be pissed too if my team was underachieving so hard with the payroll they have. Rematch on Saturday anyways, maybe Nash will be in and make a difference.
Your Canadian is showing.
I was a little worried about that after I posted it. I didn't mean it like THAT. Play on Blackhawks while I'm cakebossed. FORGIVE ME PADRE FOR I HAVE SINNED.

It's all Obama's fault! He's making the NHL and its refs favor his hometown team!
Kenya has an NHL team?

Or we could just have every team put Brian Elliott in net and get 6 or 7 goals per team per game.

"@NHLTROLL: DUCKS HAVE HAD A FASTH START, BLACKHAWKS HAVE HAD A QUICK START, AND JONATHAN QUICK HAS HAD NEITHER"
He also fixed the 2007 draft lottery.
Habs played a good road game. Subbans shot bruised his shoulder and ass apparently.

Heh. This season is lost, this isn't a team to put up a 6-8 wins streak. If it goes down in flames I'd rather it is the kids than struggling vets.

Your season also has the purpose of softening teams up who play in Tampa the next night. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Could be worse. You could be the Caps.
That's awesome. Hope BGally gets back soon.
You add that to his comments after other games, most notably Game 6 of the series against Ottawa last year, and he seems like quite a little bitch.

Bolts did the same for us last year. Oh and it's on Markstrom >>>>>>>>>> Lindback
Huberdeau>>>>>>>> Conacher (however you spell it)
Tru story. Oates is doing worse than Gretzky as a coach.
Kesler should be more careful. He could get hurt tripping over those faceoff dots.
"Lost his balance" my ass.

Tallon says he won't mortgage future for a "band-aid." Versteeg won't travel on road trip, and no news on Bergenheim. He also said 3 goalies are not ideal.
SOMEONE TAKE CLEMMENSEN
SOMEONE TAKE CLEMMENSEN
:lol
Love dem homer glasses.
As a 3rd party in this that doesnt give a shit about either teams, Hansen pulled a cunt move on Hossa and Kesler has returned to form, the diving form, not the 40 goal season one.

Tarasenko is going to keep dropping there as long as we keep playing like we are. He has a lot of early points to carry him, but he isn't making Hitchcock very happy with his defensive game lately and his ice time is showing.
Sabres-GAF is a sad plac right now.
I was at the Sabres - Jets game last night. One thing was immediately clear -- this franchise is at its lowest point since the (previous) lockout, and everyone knows it. It wasn't evidenced by the goal Winnipeg scored like 20 seconds into the game. Anyone who watches half of a Sabres game can see that this squad just can't hack it. It was highlighted by how quickly the arena went from having no excitement or buzz whatsoever to almost constant booing from the crowd. This is a fanbase that has stuck with the team through a lot without much complaint at the actual games. There's a problem when your team just can't get the puck out of their own end for multiple minutes at a time on a game-to-game basis. There's a problem when the people who paid money to be in the seats aren't cheering the team to encourage them. There's a problem when there are 6.3 seconds left on the clock with a faceoff to the left of the opposing goaltender and you're down one goal and a huge portion of the crowd is making their way to the exits.
The team is so bad they're beyond fan support. This is where management needs to step in and make changes. The coaching staff has been benching players but it hasn't helped. The GM won't make trades because he 'doesn't like the value he's getting back', according to the morning show in Buffalo. This is where our venerated and holy owner Pegula should step in and make something happen. Force a trade or, fuck, I don't know, FIRE PEOPLE. But he won't. Because he is, first and foremost, a fan. He's a fan of Ruff and Regier, who would have been fired seasons ago on any other team. This season especially. Yet somehow they're allowed to stay here and continually underachieve. I'm flabbergasted. Shouldn't he, as a fan, want this team to do as good as possible? I'm not an advocate for sweeping change every time a squad goes on a losing streak, but we're past the point that this can be considered a streak. This is who this team is. Something has to give.
I am so irritated with this franchise it hurts.

It's only been a month since the lockout. Could be worse.

Pegula should grow a pair though, he can throw obscene money at Erhoff and leino but he can't step up and take charge of his team ?

Pittsburgh is giving Fleury the night off.
So his backup is going to get a shutout tonight?
