NHL Off-Season 2014 |OT2| - Dan Cleary

I work with a Wings fan and was repping the Hawks. He told me "good team" (this is happening online/we work remotely). This isn't how it is suppose to work

See, you think we are all full of salt, anger, and hate
mostly for Cleary
. But then you get one who throws a curve ball at you and you freeze up like a deer in the headlights.

160 points in 60 games playing with cancer is just insane. He also didn't play on a stacked Oilers roster.
Lemieux is one of my favourite players, but Gretzky still carried the Oil. They wouldn't have gotten a lot of those championships without him. He still put up points in bunches on non-stacked teams.

On another note, I was listening to a podcast and they were talking about Kessel and the medication he has to take after dealing with the cancer. I'm not doctor, but they claimed its to help with his testosterone levels and it can cause weight gain.

Not sure how much stock I put into it since I thought the cancer was done and over with; I don't know if you still need to take medication years after...makes me feel kinda bad if this is true though. I also wonder if this messes with his energy levels and can explain the lazy bike exercise too.

'Cause he wasn't better than Gretzky.

He may not have been, but Gretzky's numbers were definitely inflated at least a bit due to the fact that no ref in the league would let anybody within two feet of him without blowing the whistle. Especially in the latter half of his career.

Lemiuex had back pain though. Not the same kind of cancer as Kessel (I believe he had testicular cancer)

Still hard to call. I can't even say who is pick if they were both in their prime and had no health problems. I believe Lemieux had a better ppg in the playoffs though, so maybe him.

according to Leafs fans, William Nylander is the next big thing in the NHL. How good is the kid?

I can confirm. He is the hottest thing since sliced bread.

You kids have no idea what it was like before the internet. You had to go to the woods to look for porn.

Woods? Back in elementary school one of my friends would steal Playboys from his older brother and we'd just stand around looking at the naked chicks.

Same with what Soc was saying, had no clue what the hell I was looking at but it was awesome.
 
So if I were to get NHL Gamecenter Live . . . it would block out my local teams, right? I could I have a friend in another state buy it so that would block out my games? Do they use IP numbers to block out local games such that I would have to use a VPN? Or do they just use your billing address as the place to block games?

I kinda wanna watch my local team games but I don't have satellite or cable TV and I don't want satellite or cable TV.

If true really shows how much more of a piece of shit Feschuk is as he constantly attacks Kessel for his weight.

It checks your IP, it won't matter if your friend is signed up for it in another country. You can use programs to get around the IP blockage on your computer, it's easier to just use hockeystreams + Chromecast.

Regional restrictions are IP-based, so having an out of town billing address wouldn't cut it. I do believe you can bypass through VPN but that's out of my expertise here.

Yes, I believe most paid VPNs will let you avoid any regional/national blackout. I use unblock.us and it circumvents all blackouts for all the sports services I've used on the past (it's believed they use a proxy in Europe or the Caribbean which avoids all online rights for NA sports leagues).

Good to be back in the Garden. Atmosphere is a little different from last time I was here.

Hard to tell if the conference championship banner is there already or not. Stupid Canadian flag is in the way of where it would be. I'll go scouting later.

Thanks. I don't want to Hockeystreams since that seems to be blatant piracy. I think I'll have to check out the VPN angle.

actually more pumped this year than usual because of all the holes, and new additions to the Rangers. hope some of these kids show something. gonna be watching Hayes and JT Miller closely tonight.
 
No joke, when I was 7/8 or so that's exactly what we neighbourhood kids did. Had no fucking idea what I was looking at, but it was awesome.

I don't know who was going around hiding porn in the woods, but he was doing god's work.

On a side note, what the hell is going on on that kids chin?

Edit: In the choir singing for the Leafs game

I can't remember the Habs ever having this much depth at every position. So much inner competition, it's great.

Hagelin from Miller. Hopefully going to hear a lot of that this year. That was the Rangers' third shot, so just QUALITY goaltending all around.

Kristo stopped on a good shot from the slot, then takes a dumb hooking penalty.
