Manics

Banned
Doubters be damned, the neo-GM of the league has shown his true face:

Fire him? You must be joking.

He leads with passion, he sets an example. The lightening rod to deflect blame away from the players, a true man of vision.

we can get back to discussing his ousting after the tuesday night game, when the preds complete their sweep of eastern canada

Manics = schizophrenic

Well done Flames, keep losing. Over/under on Iginla killing Keenan = 6 games and dropping :D

I miss Bonk, and was sad to see him leave. Sure he wasn't flashy, but he was a defensive force with a touch of offense, and his ability to score shorthander's was impressive.

It's fitting that he helped bring down Montreal tonight.
 
I approve of this thread. I still do not approve of JFJ. Manics has lost his mind or he's coping with the pain of having a bad GM by turning it into a big joke. This isn't a big joke! This is serious! Bring me Tuukka Rask's head on a platter.

Trust me, there's no "or".

Honestly though, lets all go easy on the guy, it can't be easy dealing with lifelong bipolar schizophrenia. I searched the subject just now to see if I could help him and this is what I got

"we see schizophrenic patients with major depression or even manic episodes." The trees' roots overlap.
:lol

ya, we love this guy (the 10 goals helps). i guess since montreal used him as a shutdown kinda guy, we didn't expect much offense, but damn this is like his 4th time scoring a clutch game saving goal in the last few minutes. the crowd has a blast with him at the home games, we have in game cues for most of the chants, but with him everyone just randomly shouts 'bonk!', so you have a wave of random 'bonk!'s going throughout the crowd coming from all around.

on top of that, bonk, ortmeyer and smithson have been a huge shutdown line for us against the other teams top line and they're all beasts on the penalty kill

Great read guys - Sure most have seen it but its a blog of a guy who did all 30 games with all 30 arenas..

He rated Habs with the best enviroment in the arena, and Dallas as having the best physical arena.

He said the St Louis crowd was also awesome.


EDIT: Oh and STARS FTW! Eat it Philly! :lol

Toronto

If you’ve been to an NHL game lately, you’ve seen the auctions of autographed memorabilia that most teams hold on the concourse to support their charitable foundation or other deserving cause. Most items sell for $300 and up and probably generate $3,000-$5,000 nightly. But think carefully before you bid in Toronto, as there is no charity involved! It looks like the money just goes straight in the team’s pockets to help pay Pavel Kubina’s $5,000,000 annual salary.

Why am I not shocked? More $$$$ for ML$E...

I'm getting worse at CCP. I think I'm still suck in the 90's with the mentality that there's a huge disparity amongst teams. It seems like those days are gone, which is a good thing right?
 
After the slow start we're on a 6 game winning streak. For some reason we don't know how to beat Atlanta unless there's 15 goals involved but I'm still confident we'll win today.
 
I dunno when the fuck Souray is back
maybe January.



and somehow our powerplay was even worse WITH Souray.
sigh
 
That sounds like a jolly good plan.

Souray
McCabe
Pit****n
Tarnstrom

I dont see where this could go wrong.
 
I hope there are more than 4,000 people at the game today. There was a bit of snow here, but I know plenty of Devils fans are bitches.

:o

That's a really impressive recovery. Also, I like how we can't say Pit****n because of the K&L debacle over at GS. :lol
Thanks to Lara Croft I couldn't talk about the Oakland Raiders for half a day. :lol

*runs*
 
you've got to wonder how long leafs management will keep jfj around. it's pretty clear he's one of the most incompetent general managers in the league, and the team he has assembled is a joke, much as the price he paid for it. any other team would have had him packing a long time ago, but for some reason people in toronto seem to enjoy watching sub par, shitty hockey.

face it, their defense is a joke, their goaltending is ridiculous. they lack the forward depth to accomplish much of anything. they've given up so many picks and wasted so much cap space on bad players. jfj is a laughing stock, and he looks like an idiot.

the sooner the leafs get rid of him and put someone, anyone else in charge of team, the better off they will be.

Sheldon Souray D - IR - Nov 30
Confirming an earlier report, Coach Craig MacTavish said a return for Souray (shoulder) is about two weeks away, the Edmonton team web site reports.


as someone who has Souray in both of his hockey pools (hey he's only out for a month, ok a month's up... uh... ok he's out another month now lol), i've been keeping track of his progress for a while now
 
i'm really fucking tired of hearing about philly trying to kill another player. fine the fucking team. suspend every player 10 games every time they do that shit. it's really getting fucking pathetic.
 
just returning from the dominican republic, and 3 wins by the wings while i was away almost makes me happy enough to not puke my guts out upon returning to freezing rain in michigan

i hate this state

Who cares--they won! Sweet shootout goal by Gionta and Marty stopped 'em all in the skills competition.:D

Watch out. DR huh? Which part? Also, please tell me you got drunk on the taxi ride from the airport to your hotel. That was one of the craziest parts of my trip.

Oilers puttin the stomp on the Ducks :D

If only they could play them every time, they crushed the Ducks 9-1 across the home-and-home games.

It is so delightfully macabre to root against last year's champs, just like with Carolina last year.:D
