Yeah I know, they way they play constantly getting outshot and hemmed in you expect them to get blown out. I guess any sort of average goaltending and they are. Not a recipe for long term success.

Just saw the Lowe must go billboard picture. Although I agree that KLowe is a joke, if Oilers fans want to see real change, they're going to have to stop going to the games and force the management and execs to actually build a team worth going to games for.

NWM is usually pretty good but lately he's been going a bit crazy. Blaming the refs for literally everything bad happening to the Wild. And I admit I was complaining about the refs quite a bit last night but its hard not to when the Stars had 7 powerplays compared to the Wild's 1 at one point.
Add that the Wild board has been going crazy for a while now and I just don't post there as much as I used to.
You play competitively? Got a stick?
My hand has gone instinctively to my crotch.
Welcome! The other Jets fans are myself, calder and Erdrick.

Roy flat out told Parenteau that he was going to have to earn his spot on a top line back. Given that we sucked shit last night who knows if he'll stick to his guns, but I hope he does. I'm so sick of good players being unproductive because they're lazy. Sooo fucking sick of it.
More nerve-wracking than anything. You know it's going to come crashing down at any minute.
Ericsson is playing, meaning we finally have a healthy defense so it's 99% likely either Kronwall or Dekeyser goes down tonight.
Monster is playing and will probably pull a groin.
Helm has played his 1 game without injury so tonight he bruises his elbow and is out 5 months.
Zetterberg hasn't been injured in a while. Tatar is due. Shehan's been too good to not get hurt soon.
And Cleary will break a leg, but keep playing and there will be a noticeable improvement in his skating.

Pretty much spot on sadly. Everytime I think of this team right now I get pissed off, oh and we have to suck and not make the playoffs in a bad draft year.... This team can't even suck properly, AHHHH!!!!
Edit: I'm still debating what my reaction will be when are officially eliminated from contention, I don't know if it will be on a rage on an epic scale or a don't talk to me, lock myself away for a long time scale.

That's why I'm getting back into it. I play Balrog and a little Guy so I have no idea what to expect, I just hope they don't nerf Rog into the ground.
I play rog also. And no rog got buffed. He's definitely top 5-10 in ultra.
wish I never clicked the link. No need to watch the video. Sounds awful
Disgusting
And here's wsox http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=98030336 associating one ass hats actions to an entire fan base.
So glad the panthers lost.
Heavens! We're multiplying!
He does that a lot.
Haha, funny joke Schuey, almost got me.

What the fuck!
Emelin-Diaz should be the third pairing. What is this idiot's obsession with Bouillon/Murray.

Howard's injury may give Bishop a chance to make the Olympics team.
Do you think Montreal will resign Diaz? We could use a guy like him.

Apparently only out for a week, but don't worry, he'll come back and get injured again, that is pretty much how this entire season is going.
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!!! Weiss is apparently skating in full gear again, he will return to us soon with his 2 goal and 2 assists and SAVE THIS TEAM!!!!!! WHOOOOO!!!!!
Screw this season
Boullion is Therriens bud. It will take an epic collapse to get rid of Therrien unfortunately.
Doubt it, and I don't really think they should as I believe they've got some young guys who can step into a bottom pairing role, and will have four regulars signed by then who *sort of* deserve higher spots in the lineup.
I think he'll be a smart pickup for anyone as long as you're not expecting him to come in and anchor a top 4 pairing. He's a solid defenceman though, just soft as butter.
I just realised this means more PP time for Bouillon. They're going to re-sign him in the summer aren't they?
I also expect Price to stand on his head tonight, and Therrien will feel vindicated in his lineup changes.
Wonder if Bourque learned his lesson in respect? He is due for a shot or two.
Two shots might require some amount of effort.

There were a few calls that should have been thrown at the Stars. Like the too many men on the ice call and I think the bench minor agst the Wild was uh?
Either way, the high stick calls were pretty just. All the replays showed the sticks going straight into the faces of Stars players.
The Wild just looked deflated from the opening faceoff

Give Nashville credit. They do not sit around when it comes to trades.
DO SOMETHING GILLIS.
DO SOMETHING GILLIS.
Wat.
Given that I dont know klein but do know MDZ, i'm confused. Also why does Nashville of all teams need more D? I'm sure other teams would've paid more oO
On another note, longest coach suspensions:
12 games - Tom Webster, Los Angeles Kings, 1991
10 games Harry Neale, Vancouver Canucks, 1982
8 games Don Perry, Los Angeles Kings, 1982
6 games John Tortorella, Vancouver Canucks, 2013
4 games Tom Webster, Los Angeles Kings, 1991
Uuuuuuuuuuh there may or may not be a pattern there.
