NHL February 2013 |OT| A Black History Month "Miracle in the Making"

And? He wasn't fantastic. Best thing he did was get away with interference on the go ahead goal.

On the scoresheet he didn't appear, but as Hayward pointed out through various times in the Ducks feed what he DID do was give a LOT of time and space for others. He had the neutral zone covered a lot too which opened up opportunities for Vatenan to make a two rushes, Souray to preemptively get to the blue line and was also in great positioning for a lot of two way play.

So, basically, he's Marleau with less hair? Sounds good.
 
I really hope that whoever is responsible for that commercial has their life very painfully taken from them.

I don't know why but after every game I want to Live Like I'm Young and use the money I got from Dollar Loan Center to rent from U Storage (and get TWO FREE DUCKS TICKETS) and then go WEEN WEEN WEEN at San Manuel Casino.

These commercials are great because the say "from Sioux Falls, SD to Los Angeles, CA", but they have almost no locations between the two cities. :lol

Are your PP's sponsored by anything? Ours are the CACHE CREEK CASINO RESORT POOOOOOOWER PLAAAAAAAY.

You mean the actual PP's or just when it's broadcasted? I think on Sportsnet ours are sponsored by Subway... I could be wrong though. Most other stuff is somehow sponsored by Safeway blabla play and win blabla sth.

Yeah, Honda.

And we get FREE OGGIS STICKS WITH EVERY POWERPLAY GOAL. And FIVE FREE WINGS FROM HOOTERS IF WE SCORE 5 OR MORE GOALS.

Don't you guys get pizza or something if you get a PP goal?

Ours is even better. It's if ONE canucks player scores 5 goals or more a game, someone who's bought something at Safeway might win a million dollars.

I don't even want to know how many times in franchise history someone's scored 5 goals in a game...

A reference to a bunch of shitty ads that roll EVERY AD BREAK.

:lol

Yeah I remember seeing that every time I watched a Canucks game and feeling sorry for the person mentioned... GOOD LUCK MARY ANDERSON OF KAMLOOPS, YOU MIGHT WIN BIG TONIGHT!

So you guys punish your fans if the team has a great game?

Considering wings are rare as hell over here, I'd rather shitty Hooters wings than none at all.

My mother-in-law was up for the Safeway million dollar prize last year. I was watching the game and they announced her name. She didn't win, sadly.

It's a bit of a jip, cause even if she DID win then all she's won is a CHANCE at a million dollars.

What they usually do is take you to the lottery centre (or Safeway HQ in this case) and make you play a game where you pick a card off a wall (20 or so cards there) and ONE of those cards is the winning card.

Or something like that.

I never understood the appeal of a place like hooters.

Most hip lounge styled restaurants will hire exclusively super hot waitresses & hostesses, and they will wear more stylish & classy skimpy outfits than a simple white t-shirt. Plus the food will be much better.

A great choice for this is a restaurant chain called Joey's in Vancouver. Hooters just seems so... redneck?

It's a good thing your opinion doesn't matter either way.

First and probably last time I'll agree with Tabris. There's one in Toronto near the Eaton Center, and it's fantastic. An ex of mine got offered a job on the spot when eating there once, she wasn't down because of the kind of clothing they wear, all the waitresses are pretty ridiculous.

Hooters is definitely redneckish / 15 year old boy type shit.

A Hooters opened up in my city when I was in 8th grade. All the girls started wearing Hooters tshirts after that and it got so widespread that the school actually put a ban on them.

I really wish I went to your middle school. A girl I knew in my freshman year of University ended up working there, but we weren't allowed to tell anyone because she didn't want her family to find out.
 
For the longest time ever, I thought Hooters was actually a strip club.

Then it just looked embarrassing to ever go to, ever.

Also the manager of Joey (not JoeyS) on Broadway would come and drink with us at Marquee (Granville) after we finished up at Red Door. He was pretty up himself and arrogant, but harmless.

Just from looking at some team stats...A few things stand out:

St. Louis is the 2nd highest scoring team in the league so far. That team with that kind of goal production is scary.

Philly is 24th in the league in scoring. They really need to get healthy. They also desperately need more puck moving D.

Montreal (2.14) and Tampa Bay (2.00) currently have scored twice the amount of 5 on 5 goals as their opponents. Pretty insane. Florida (0.42), Columbus (0.48), and Edmonton (0.50) are the teams that have been out scored two times more than they have scored 5 on 5.

The Rangers (10.0), Bruins (10.0), Kings (10.8), and Red Wings (11.1) are among the worst PP's in the league. That's a lot of talent.

The Islanders are surprisingly amazing on the PK so far at 92.9% behind only Boston (94.1), and Chicago (94.4). The Jets PK is last in the league by far at 59.3%.

Carolina averages almost 5 shots per game more than anyone else so far. They've averaged 38.2 shots per game, while 2nd place Calgary has averaged 33.8. Nashville has averaged the lowest at 22.1.

St. Louis gives up the fewest shots per game (21.6).

It's pretty funny seeing the switch Anaheim and Montreal have made from last season. I think they say if you're 4 points out of the playoffs by the end of October then chances are you won't make the playoffs? Something like only two teams have made it after being further behind after October, I wonder how that will translate to this season.
 
Stop trying to make this a thing, Gretchen.

It's already a thing. It's the cool kid with glasses thing that I've always wanted as my own personal thing. And then it has the words PHIL COLLINS. Phil Collins is a thing. Both things are things. You've already lost dude, and it's embarrassing to watch you deny it.

Phil

Fucking

Collins
