Jumbo don't play dat.

 

[MetatronM]

He also has a 7% ESGF%.

93% of the goals scored when he's on the ice goes into the Rangers net :lol

LOL I didn't even notice that, but you're right. All because he's AV's boy from back in Vancouver.

And he's going to be virtually impossible to get rid of because who is going to take 2 more years at a $1.45m cap hit for that?

 

[Heretic]

perfect response lol

 

[Coldnoodle]

Nice little move from Toews there

 

[MetatronM]

Here's Henrik Lundqvist talking about the shot to the throat he took in the game tonight. Includes video of the injury itself:

[MetalGuardian]

lol, James Hetfield out of nowhere

Man there aren't a whole lot of well spoken, former players out there is there?

The guy that does the Habs games, Jason York, is just terrible.

I was at Metallica night a a couple weeks ago. It's a whole thing.

 

[speculawyer]

Hockey is pretty metal.

Fuck Jason York. The other guy isn't so bad though.

So Keith Olbermann interviewed Strombo about HNIC. I didn't watch it yet but I heard he made fun of certain HNIC panelists so it's gotta be worth seeing.

[FUBAR McDangles]

How the eff is the Sharks/Hawks game still 1-0?

Come on brehs. Start getting some pretty goals.

 

[speculawyer]

Big John Scott.

 

[Marvie_3]

Roszival fucking sucks

 

[Acid08]

Shaw just trying his absolute hardest to try to get someone to take a penalty. Players must be able to just see right through that.

 

[Marvie_3]

Toews fucking sucks

 

[Acid08]

holy fuck Niemi

 

[speculawyer]

Nemo the wall.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

I had Jack In The Box for the second time, it was actually good and not disgusting in every way like the first time. 7.5/10

Your mention of Jack-in-the-Box should get us some Taco Time goals!

Edit: Damn it. Logan missed the chance for Tacos.

 

[Acid08]

Hawks ran a train on us that period, Niemi bailing us out hard. Hopefully they feel like playing in the third.

 

[speculawyer]

You had a 2 to 0 lead Oilers. FFs.

 

[zroid]

loilers gonna loiler

 

[speculawyer]

Nemo wants the shutout against his old team.

 

[Calamari41]

Nemo wants the shutout against his old team.

Might you say that all of the Blackhawks shots are Finding Nemo?

 

[zroid]

Might you say that all of the Blackhawks shots are Finding Nemo?

god dammit lol

 

[Marvie_3]

Nemo wants the shutout against his old team.

He's probably going to get it too!

 

[zroid]

if this ends 1-0 it will have been the third such game of the day

 

[speculawyer]

Boooooo. That wasn't offsides.

 

[Marvie_3]

Boooooo. That wasn't offsides.

You're right. It was offside.

 

[zroid]

jumbooooooooooooo

 

[Marvie_3]

Sloppy as fuck way to end it. Hawks had their chances but couldn't finish or were shut down by Niemi. Oh well.

 

[speculawyer]

Jumbo Joe headed for the Hall of Fame.

 

[Terrordactyl]

[geeko]

<3 jumbo

 

[speculawyer]

You're right. It was offside.

Eat it.

 

[Acid08]

Hawks were pretty clearly more on it all night. Nemo really deserves all the credit for this game.

 

[speculawyer]

I guess I was kind for expecting the Hawks to score.

 

[Marvie_3]

Eat it.

 

[zroid]

It seems like whenever teams do the california trip they play San Jose and one of LA or Anaheim back to back. It doesn't make any sense. Why wouldn't you play LA and Anaheim back to back?

The flight is near equivalent to the drive from Anaheim to staples in time, what's the difference?

 

[MetatronM]

Ah, found the video of the whole sequence of Lundqvist getting nailed by the shot to the throat, the doctors looking after him, and him getting up and back into the game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs8TBxhW5jI

This shit was really scary live. Felt a lot like what happened to Marc Staal initially.

 

[Red_Man]

Random, useless stats

Looking at the East standings...there really isn't a matchup you want.

I just want to avoid the Lightning, Rangers and Islanders in the first round. I don't think they hold on to take the East, but if they do I really hope Boston is that 8th seed and not the Rangers. Caps would be a grinding close 7 game series too.

Scary Situation for Hank. Glad he's okay. At least it wasn't a Malarchuk situation.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

My fucking god what if Arizona gets McDavid. :||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 

[A Serious Man]

My fucking god what if Arizona gets McDavid. :||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Better than the Oilers. Having McDavid play in a market that doesn't appreciate him is a lot better than having him play for an organization that will ruin his development and rob the sport of a great talent.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

So.. Whose gonna make the February OT?

 

[Red_Man]

My fucking god what if Arizona gets McDavid. :||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I'm okay with this. I have no problem with the actual team aside from Mike Smith, it's the ownership and the way the NHL has handled them that is stupid. McDavid & Domi would be awesome to watch and it keeps him out of the East.

 

[lamaroo]

Plus Arizona will be in a better hockey market soon enough.
