Just too excited, trying to do it all by himself. He looked a lot better against the Flames but was still a bit too eager.

Cherry comments draw legal threat from NHL trio

One of the few times I would actually welcome a media circus.

Yeah, Cherry was pretty out of line and had zero basis from which to make his accusations. I was actually more disgusted earlier in the segment when he was showing clips of Scott Stevens' hits and the concussions he gave to Kariya and Lindros, and Cherry lamenting the fact that "we will never see stuff like this again!" The guy is utterly senile and a fucking idiot to boot. We should not be granting him a platform to spew his garbage from.

100% agreed.

We need victims. No Flames fans. Is yodathesoda perma-banned or just too ashamed to try some weak troll against the Canucks (pretty much all he ever posted in here)?

Just a reminder to all the Bruins fans that post here regularly *crickets*:

10 minutes from now Vs. is airing a behind the scenes look at the banner raising ceremony. Should be a good watch.

For Carolina fans: No Kreijci tonight. Should be interesting to see who they put in his place or if they break up that line because its been struggling. Especially after Lucic and Horton had the same amount of minutes as the fourth liners on Monday.

For Boston fans: Peverley re-signed to a 3-year deal. Good news.

Watching my 10 Greatest Penguins Games Volume 1 DVD. Production values and camera angles have come a looooong way since 1989. Damn.

Currently watching game 5 of the 1989 Patrick Division Final between the Pens and Flyers. Lemieux got a hat-trick with the game being barely 7 minutes old.
 
RE: Prices sister, you guys are falling for the oldest trick in the camerawhore book. Brightness + flash = covers skin blemishes.

That said, she probably is legitimately hot.

Looks like the Bruins special is on Wednesday. Some reason I thought today was Wednesday and the Bruins were playing tonight. Sorry B's fans.

Yeah, when I read your post I thought I had my days mixed up. Columbus Day is fucking me up.

I think Seguin should fill in for Krejci tomorrow night — I wouldn't mess with the second line. Hopefully he's only out for a couple of games. Based on the soundbytes, I'd guess it's just a day-to-day thing.

The Peverley signing is nice, but maybe just a bit pricey. He's a good player, for sure, but I don't know. I'd rate the deal like a 7/10.

"the bottom three of Yannick Weber and rookie European imports Raphael Diaz and Alexei Emelin have 54 NHL games played combined.

"I think we'll have to take on a bigger responsibility of keeping things calm back there, especially trying to enforce the fact of keeping things simple," Gorges said of the role he and Gill will have to play. "It's the home opener, the fans are going to be excited, and a lot of times you get a little overanxious and you make plays you normally wouldn't. So I think for Hal and I to keep everyone calm, cool and collected, and just get them to play their games will be big."

Love me some Gorges, I think he'll make Markovs absence a lot easier this year, and really help the team push through any injuries we take, the guy is C material.

I hadn't even looked at the terms but 3.25m for 3 years seems like the going rate after last off-season. Im just glad they locked him up with all the UFA's the Bruins have after this year and how Chiarelli hinted this off-season that he was holding back in order to sign the guys on the roster. Its good to see him follow through on his plan.

Lucic - Seguin- Horton line? I don't like the sound of it but as a stop-gap measure its alright. It will be interesting to see how Seguin plays with those guys.

So out of curiosity, how many of you with Xbox access have bought NHL jerseys for your avatars?

I noticed Marvie rocking a Blackhawks one a few nights ago and splurged last night and got a Ducks jersey + cap for mine. Goes well with the hockey stick prop too.

Yep, Habs-age is definitely the new Annoying-age. (formerly known as Pens-age)

P.S. Pens/Flyers in 1989 is 9-3 Pens after 2. Lemieux with 7 points. Wooooo.
Defense was so garbage in the 80s. Unlimited breakaways.

this bouchard suspension is still bullshit. :|
No, it really isn't.

Did Bouchard's agent offer you some of the kool-aid he'd been sipping:

Agent said:
"There is no one who supports ridding the game of headshots, blindside hits and dangerous hits from behind more than Pierre-Marc," Walsh said after pointing out that Bouchard was the victim of a serious concussion in 2008-09. "What occurred on the play in question last night was none of the above. The notion that Pierre-Marc Bouchard intentionally swung his stick into the face of an opponent is patently absurd. He's just not that kind of player. What message is Brendan Shanahan sending with this unwarranted suspension? All perennial Lady Byng candidates should now be on notice that when an opponent high sticks himself in the mouth, he can expect a minimum suspension of 2 regular season NHL games. This result is a shameful farce for the League. All in all, these 20 minute disciplinary hearings are nothing more than kangaroo courts."

Hmm, I didn't realize they had NHL stuff now. Been a while since I checked. Bit pricey, though. :|

Holy shit, they finally have those? The other sports have had avatar stuff for a long time. Was wondering if we'd ever get NHL jerseys.

I'll probably spring for a Lightning one.
 
Allan Walsh sticks up for his clients like no other.

Last year (I think) he raised a shitstorm on twitter because his client Martin Havlat wasn't getting the icetime he thought he deserved.

I wouldn't put too much into what he says.

Me either. But I'm a merch whore, digital or otherwise. I'd wear Ducks condoms to bed if I could... Corey Perry on my piece would ensure I score at least 50 times a year.

I like how he drops his stick a second after he realizes he did something stupid.

"Thats not my stick! This stick? On the ice? Never seen it before."
Haha

I do doubt Bouchard was aiming for the face. But he's still to blame - should have never been swinging his stick at someone that high up.
