Jets ... beat the ... Hawks? I've been really cautious about my expectations in the post-Noel world, but HOLY SHIT THE JETS BEAT THE HAWKS!

I'm usually in 316. I prefer the crowds in the upper levels to the lower ones, as they are more full of energy/alcohol.

Yeah, I've got seats in 304 and I totally agree.

 

[Acid08]

Jets are just beating everyone lately.

Spoiler

Except the Sharks hahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[MetatronM]

The Rangers have a positive goal differential for the first time all season.

 

[Red_Man]

Habs goals differential is worst then the year we had the 3rd overall pick. Lets keep Therrien though, I'm sure he's got a few more tricks in his bag.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Mike Smith is worse than Brodeur.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

I'm all for shitting on a guy that hangs his hat on win totals playing a trap over real success like beating your rivaling contemporaries in the post season but Giguere over Brodeur? dstrdl pls.

edit: nvm

I mean it's pretty much confirmed that Brodeur is one of the greatest tenders of all time. And he's accomplished a lot more in both the recent active NHL seasons as well as the early days of butterfly/hybrid. A true pioneer of goaltending with an amazingly long list of contributions he's made. He took goaltending to a new level.

But Terry Sawchuk is the greatest of all time.

And Giguere, while working with fantastic teams and also contributing to modern goaltending in tremendously huge ways, has shown that he can't overcome mental adversity. His work ethic however is completely unmatched. He works for everything and never rests in his laurels.

Who he is as a goaltender gives him more value in my eyes than someone who may have the resumè and the accolades but doesn't have the resolve, work ethic and teamwork/communication of Giguere.

And Giguere never married his sister in law sooo

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Giguere played great for us at the start of the season and then started sucking ass. His response to sucking ass was "well, I don't think the guys in front of me were hungry enough" whereas we lost because he kept letting softies in. Roy even called him on it to the press. He's solid usually but I don't think I'd say his character is without flaw.

No shame in losing to a strong team like we did. If all losses were like that, I'd be ok with them.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Canucks scored 5 goals tonight. They scored 5 in their last 3.

Clearly the answer is to scratch Booth.

And to keep playing against Mike 'The Olympian' Smith.

 

[kingslunk]

Stars owner said he doesn't care about making the playoffs this year because he knows they're going to be a constant playoff contender in the years to come.

 

[Stasis]

The Rangers have a positive goal differential for the first time all season.

Fantastic!

It was even a few games back and I got excited. Hopefully we end the season in the green.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Just like Edmonton!

 

[bonesmccoy]

So who falls first? St. Louis, Chicago or Colorado?

Red flag that he's already complacent.

Nah he realizes it's a process.

Also one day there will be a music award show that gives awards to music that's actually good.

Wild card? Vancouver is probably going to fall off.

In our nightmare division anything short of "we're actively looking to improve right now" is going to get you no where. I mean, look at the two teams below you even. They're going to improve also, Winnipeg has already started playing better lately. It's going to be a fucking battle every year that I hope our guys are ready for. We need to get better on defense if we stand a chance of lasting long.

Harrelson is one lucky SOB

Kendrick Lamar and Imagine Dragons?

I'm okay with this.

Best part of the show. Too bad Kendrick got robbed by the first mainstream rapper in years to actually have something to say.

 

[RC]

I'm okay with this.

Imagine Dragons? It some kind of new age feelgoodary hipster band?

I'm not sure if you're criticizing or praising Macklemore here. Or is that sarcasm because that's what people say? I'm confused.

Yeah, basically. I like them. People don't like them. I don't care.

[Revenant]

Daft Punk making the grammys relevant? winning album of the year? lets celebrate

 

[Unhandled Exception]

I fucking hate Macklemore's music (A LOT) but I respect the message. As far as rapping ability goes though he is goddamn terrible.

 

[Smiley90]

haha I figured it was some kind of quote I didn't know about.

 

[RC]

What's his message? That a white boy from Seattle shouldn't rap?

 

[Red_Man]

Exactly. His message is great, but he's not in the same stratosphere as Kendrick or other rappers.

 

[Smiley90]

What's his message? That a white boy from Seattle shouldn't rap?

He's very openly pro-gay-acceptance, which is great among the message of most other rappers.

I'm assuming that's why he got the Grammy, too. I'm okay with that. He won't win another. (I think. Hope. Who knows, the grammies are shit.)

 

[Unhandled Exception]

What's his message? That a white boy from Seattle shouldn't rap?

That should be the secondary takeaway from what he puts out, yes. The primary takeaway is "stop being shitty to eachother" and things of that nature.

edit: The more I think about it the more I see him as a toothless de la Rocha from the burbs. With little musical talent.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

double post?

 

[Acid08]

I don't care that people like Macklemore. I do care when people try to put him on a pedestal saying that he's saving hip hop and shit. Kendrick also had a lot of shit to say on his album but he doesn't do it as plainly as Macklemore does. His album requires more effort on the part of the listener to understand.

Also just rubs me the wrong way that all of a sudden people want to say a white guy is saving a predominantly black genre.

It's all in the way that other people talk about him, he seems like a genuine enough act but yeah you nailed it.

You do understand that that means that the Grammy committee would have to actually put some effort into their selections, right?

The Grammies are about as valuable as the Spike Videogame awards.

Not at all.

Solution to the Macklemore problem: listen to more Rage.

At least Macklemore agrees with us:

You seriously don't know Macklemore?

I refuse to link to thrift shop.

 

[Socreges]

At least Macklemore agrees with us:

See, I like Macklemore. I like his music, too. But he isn't all that talented, as people have said. The people that produce his music, however, are.

People only take the Grammys seriously because it's the biggest music awards show. There's no authority or history of respectable decisions (as subjective as these things are). But everyone pays attention to them and then is shocked/disappointed with the results.

Just stop caring.

 

[Red_Man]

I'm not surprised, and I don't expect much out of the Grammys, but it doesn't make it less frustrating when a guy like Macklemore beats out such a great talent like Kendrick. I was surprised they even gave Daft Punk AOTY.

Don't know that song but I did recognize Can't Hold Us in the sidebar.
