It's Matt Cooke. Any punch he receives is completely justified and shouldn't be considered thuggery.

What about Heatley?

 

[Cake Boss]

The north east is a beast, everyone but Buffalo won tonight who got an overtime point.

Don't see why 4 teams from that division can't make the playoffs.

 

[calder]

This is pretty funny seeing as the Jets had taken the fewest penalties prior to this game.

*slow nod*

 

[Acid08]

Vlasic-Staurt
Irwin-Petrecki
Murray-Braun

LOL COOL DEFENSE

Puck movement, how does that work?

 

[Alucard]

Lol oh cubey

Any real Pens fans? I only watched the one game against the Leafs.

Did losing Staal have that much effect?

Only us fair weather Crosbies around these parts, I'm afraid. To counter cube's points:

1. Bylsma is a positive guy and did a lot for this team. However, the cracks have been showing for the past 2 seasons.

2. Staal is better than Sutter, but Sutter is still a solid 3rd line center.

3. Letting Michalek go was the biggest head-scratcher for me, though I don't think the D is that terrible.

4. MAF...is an average goaltender. It's true.

Not sure where to put the blame, but again...I'll give it 15 games before pressing the panic button.

 

[Revenant]

Here's your cbj report as I watch from the elliptical. They're fucking terrible still.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

YEAH IT'S DAMN HOT HERE BUT GOD DAMN IF I AIN'T GONNA SPORT A HOCKEY JERSEY AND HOOT AND HOLLER AT MY DOG EVERY TIME THE DUCKS SCORE.

I did all my work this morning, which means I can put baileys in my coffee... right? 1:30pm is safe?

Screw that, be cool like us and press it after the first goal against in the first game!

So you're saying the poor dog won't get any attention?

Spoiler

Go ducks!

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Fuck the Ducks!!!!

 

[Red_Man]

Desharnais with 13 min TOI Eller with 10 min TOI and Kaberle with something like 12 min TOI

So nice to have a coach who properly manages his players that aren't playing well.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Fin(e) then, I'll scratch his damn ears every time we win a faceoff!

 

[MetatronM]

Happy with the win, though they never make it easy. Lundqvist probably had his best game of the season too.

Concerned about Cally's injury. He hasn't really been playing all that great or anything, but he's the heart of the team, and we're already depleted at forward. All we have left is Kreider if he can get over his ankle injury and, uh, well that's it other than calling Newbury up again or something that I can think of. Otherwise we might need to sign somebody if Cally's injury is serious.

 

[Marvie_3]

What about Heatley?

He may be a murderer but he's not a piece of shit like Cooke.

Welcome to the club.

It is time. Lets see how we fare!

 

[lamaroo]

My only problemd so far with the Habs are our piss poor excuse for a "first" line and our PK. Our second, third, fourth lines, goaltending and PP though? Bueno!

Don't forget faceoffs, so bad. No complaints about the D though, even with Kaberle back there.

 

[Marvie_3]

SAN MANUEL CASINO

ALL I DO IS WEEN WEEN

UP DOWN UP DOWN UP DOWN UP DOWN

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Seriously? Vatanen is a scratch tonight? We call him up

Etem is going to be replacing Staubitz... Like in one way (because Staubitz loses his stick then chases down people in the end zone trying to fight them instead of playing them) but bad in that Etem hasn't adjusted properly to the NHL yet.

Vatanen should be replacing Hendry.

Also, seriously, nothing at Oggis looks tasty. Eugh.

Not bad guys, over 17000 posts for this thread and still two more nights of hockey left for the month.

Early hall of shame:

Therrien is going to have to figure something out. They've been terrible on faceoffs for a while but usually had a FO specialist, but they don't even have that now.

Early hall of shame:

I blame this on the Gallys.

 

[Acid08]

I'M ALREADY FREAKING OUT.

Wait, Boyle is out!?

Gooood. GOOOOOOD.

oh ffs the stupid Bad Boy Bail Bonds people are now wearing UV yellow this season. Fuck them.

 

[Acid08]

Murray-Petrecki

Slowest d pair in the league.

And replaced by a rookie. Our three best pick movers are out.

Dang, I guess I didn't post as much as what I thought, probably because of work though and not having as much time.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

OH MY GOD what a shift by Etem.. Yeah, he looks kinda ready now hey.

 

[Red_Man]

And you're probably busy scouting the city trying to decide which building to jump off when Detroit misses the playoffs.

This is true

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Winnik scoring a goal would be absolutely tops. He was in prime position in that last shift.

 

[Marvie_3]

The GM Renaissance Center is a nice looking building and has a great view of Lake Michigan all the way down.

 

[Acid08]

Stupid as fuck Desi.

 

[Marvie_3]

What a stupid penalty.

 

[Socreges]

I just played goalie in indoor soccer in an intramural league. They use nets similar to hockey, there's wall play, and it's about the size of a rink. So the flow of the game is pretty similar.

I let in 7 fucking goals. We lost 9-0. Shit is truly humbling. Why would any normal person ever choose to be a goalie?

oh right

:lol It's not an easy position at all and goalies take a lot of punishment. Totally different game than outdoors.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

HILLLLLLERRRRR

These Ducks are looking a lot better than the 1st period Ducks against the Preds. Making smart plays while being speedy, fighting in the corners... I love it.

 

[Acid08]

First good shift of the game for us. Sharks can do this. Exorcise these demons!

Pretty crazy to think Alex is playing this well after missing an entire year of junior.
