What. Did he get head from a Lamprey?
And Scoreges. We know why Canada masses it's population on the US border. We've seen Canadian Bacon, we know what you are planning.

Yeah, it's superiority for a liberal pot smoking hippie breeding ground. Abortions for everyone and marijuana cigarettes for everyone else. Gimme a break. Not like here in the good ol' AU of S. Guns? You betcha, got a whole 5 tonne o' freedom meat pies and my licensed hobby pistol right here. Ain' no OBAMA gon' tell ME what to do. The ACL dun good for our country which our brave troops fought hard for in Gallipoli. If it weren't for the ACL keeping their good christian values in our society who knows how corrupt our government would become.

Our milk comes in bags, they stand no chance.
Huh I missed this when it was posted this morni-ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!? Granted Neil Smith is a gigantic know-nothing and every single second he's speaking on TV he gives you the impression of a guy who barely even watches hockey now but what the shit. MAF alone means he hasn't even been scanning the headlines of the website he works for, jesus.
The forwards are decent, despite leaving national hero/hearthrob Andrew Ladd off somehow (sorry Staal #2, extra vacation for you mid-season). The defense is generally ok with a wtf exception like Mike Green (seriously?) and a debatable pick like Staal #3.
<3
EDIT: the number of Cam Ward's and MAF's in the Hockey Central picks just astounds me. I guess you could expect Ward to be a good #3, sit in the press box and work hard in practice kind of guy but come on, him AND Fleury is just criminal.
While I wish the US was as progressive as Canada, I think the vast majority of Americans would likely disagree.
Geographical anomaly. Nothing more. Nothing more.
Time to read up about the ACL.
I like Andrew 'Douchenozzle' Ladd. I really do. But not on international ice, as good as he looked at times during the WHC.Huh I missed this when it was posted this morni-ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?

Wait there's a Furry-GAF thread?
No way
No way
Zedge is their leader.
Have any of them contacted you?

Stamkos, Giroux, Crosby, Bergeron, E. Staal, Getzlaf, Toews, M. Richards, Tavares...
Centres...centres everywhere.
Couture, too.
Interesting that the best European talent are often wingers and the best Canadian talent are centres.
This was my introduction to Furry-GAF (Android thread). Read from there to the end of the page (the conversation keeps going).
I've mentioned this before, but I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at something on GAF.

I mean I knew zedge was a furry but I don't realize there is a commune of them
On a semi related note: How have I never listened to Animal Collective before? They're currently blowing my shit up and I have like six more albums to listen to still

I need to fly to Europe to go see The World's End instead of having to wait a whole other month for it to come out here!

Well, at least we aren't lacking for Centremen.
Crosby I agree for sure.
Tavares, Stamkos, Toews, Perry, Marleau, Getzlaf are great.
That's too many Cs though and I wonder about the rest. Do they play well on international ice?
Doughty, Pietrangelo, Weber, Subban should be good but far from our days of Nieds and Pronger. Also question these guys on international ice...
Goalies. Oh Jesus fuck....
Price is OK but hasn't done well under pressure. Luongo has exp but his game was up and down last season.
Fleury = lulz
A strong set of Americans seem to have taken over.
Missing Bergeron, St Louis, and wingers...
So I'm not sure what I'm gonna do about watching Leaf games this fall. I live in an apartment that has a line of sight on the CN tower, and so I've been using an antenna to get these channels for free in HD: Omni, CTV, CityTV, Global, CBC, CW (the American channel), and two or three others that I cannot remember right now.
Obviously no TSN, no Sportsnet, and no Leafs TV. I don't want to spend $100+ per month just to watch THREE channels in HD... Pretty much all my entertainment time is spent on the 360, either playing games on it, or watching Netflix, or using it as a DVD player. It's so crazy how useless cable television is... when you take sports out of the equation.

Teehee! Subban is going to be a Norris nominee every year for probably the next 10 years. Get used to him, bro, he's an olympian. And not a bottom pairing one.
We'll just basic cable will get you CBC and Sportsnet
I stream the games online otherwise but they are really bad quality.
Just watch Saturday night games it makes them more special. Listen to the weekday games on the radio.
$100? The most you should be paying is $50 for Basic/Digital Cable (which includes HD channels) + HD Sports package.

I don't necessarily disagree 100% but I don't think you can say that this early on based on half a season.
10 years straight is a bit much, that's Lidstrom category and Lidstrom >>>>>>> Subban.

With those goalies in net we'd need it.
You still get hockey though. Y'all are babies.
But it's not NHL hockey. I don't care about TEAM MERICA, I only care about the Red Wings.

USA is in a tough group, but I think they can make it into the medal round.
Count me in also as someone who doesn't want NHLers in the olympics though. Amateurs are more exciting and I couldn't care less who is wearing the jersey in the Olympics, I'll root for USA regardless.
