I gotta give credit to the Wild for one thing at least:


They finally got rid of the horrific jerseys that plagued them for a few years. NOw they have mildly ugly jerseys.

All I have to say is there is some cheese in the fridge to go with your salary cap wine. The only number that matters in the end is wins and the Wild are smoking the league in that category. First team to 20 wins!!! And they are 20th out of 30 for highest salaries!!!

Let's recap this discussion in March and April.
 
Crosby out again indefinitely for concussion like symptoms. I think he may be done. Sad to see a great talent cut short like that, even if you root against him/Pens.

Lindros 2.0. As a red wing fan I don't like Crosby, but it is always a shame when that happens.

Not even close. Crosby is an exceptionally talented player, but Lindros was a feared physical force on the ice. Crosby's had a handful of fights in his career, Lindros had a handful in a single game occasionally.

They are entirely different players in an entirely different game. Can you imagine what a player like Lindros would do in this league without the clutching, grabbing, and hooking that was allowed when he played? He'd probably challenge for the Art Ross every year.

I'm not a huge Lindros fan and was frequently very critical of his game, but he and Crosby don't compare. He was a very special player we rarely see that is a dominating physical force and Art Ross capable at the same time. Lindros scored about 50 more goals, more points, and more than doubled Crosby's PIM total through about 415-430 games...right where Crosby's at for his NHL career...in a time when the average offense was way lower than it is now. Their point totals are comparable, but the style of play is way different. Ovechkin's physical play doesn't compare to how Lindros played.

I understand you're talking about concussions, but Lindros had what, 7? 8? I hope Crosby isn't finished, but it's not looking good that body contact brought the symptoms back.

Through Crosby's 420 NHL games and The first 431 Lindros played, they're within 0.0016 points per game of one another, Lindros barely ahead.

Wow - usually you just talk jibba-jabba (to me), but this is VERY interesting. It shall be the workplace discussion topic of the day! No work for us :ban:

Doesn't help the fact he could't look up when he had the puck. The guy looked like he was searching for quarters on the ice.

Giroux is officially diagnosed with a concussion :mad:

Flyers will be moving 19 year old Couturier to play between Hartnell and Jagr ...

Pronger, Schenn, and now Giroux to the press box with Concussions. ****.

That's because I'm much better at talking the game rather than getting mixed up in childish pissing contests. I'm a contributing member on hockey specific forum and the conversation there is usually amongst folks very knowledgeable about the game and there are rarely insults and bullsh*t. Some trash talk, definitely, but nothing stupid.

Lindros did have a problem keeping his head up and it cost him his career. Still would be awesome to see a guy with his stature, style, and talent get in the league today.

Well, perhaps someone who kept his head up more in his stature.

Crosby must have "Foligno Flu", cleverly disguised as concussion symptoms. Out again just in time for Friday's game against the Sens....

He didn't want any of the Flyers last week either...

It's weird this year with Ovie out to lunch and basically no Crosby...

We can be obnoxious without being dicks to each other. Trash talking about our teams and the game doesn't need to include being an assh*le and insulting. I'm not singling anyone out, just saying.
 
Goalie out of crease, gets run over, again. And of course, Dallas gets a power play. WTF!
 
What is wrong with the Caps this year? They're tied for 8th in the East with two other teams. Ovie's not himself (loving that on my fantasy roster), coach fired..

And the Flyers are just dominating the Csps tonight. 3-0 with about 25 minutes left.
 
With the Caps loss and the other game results, Caps fall from 8th to 12th in the East...7-0 start, 9-2 through the first 11, and have gone 6-11-1 since. If they don't get this figured out who's going to be on the trading block to mix things up? Is Ovechkin untouchable?

I think Semin will be the first to go..
 
Semin for sure.

But who cares about all this today. I believe... yes.... I think it's true.....

24/7 Flyers/Rags starts tonight!!! Yippeee!!

Surprisingly, he seems to be the most consistent and put in a lot of offseason work this summer. An Ovechkin trade would be a tough sale, but he seems to be the one with the attitude problem this year and showing up to camp out of shape last year doesn't help his case.

Semin has not been too consistent this year.. He has played well for Hunter, but had a rough start.. 11 points and 36 pims is not where he should be..

Ovi is still almost untouchable down here.. The headlines aren't asking why is Ovi in a slump? They are pointing at Hunter, and before him Boudreau, asking how is he going to get Ovechkin to perform..

DC sports fans will let a superstar suck for a long time before we turn on them...
 
It's Ovi's woman, I tell ya. He was good when it was just him and his folks. Now he's got some poontang around, it's all falling apart. I bet if he went gay he'd score 130 points.

Isn't that always the case? :D
 
So, I'm enroute on my trip to The Canada, Montreal specifically, for the Flyers game tonight. Look for four obnoxious guys in The Orange & Black.

Suggestions for beers to try from the local area?
 
Anyone else catch 24/7 last night ? Granted I'm a Flyers fan, but I thought it was freaking amazing.

Bryzgalov is hilarious.

Avery laughing at Anisimov after his 'snipe' celly, and the following apology were great too.

Can't wait for next week.

It depends if you want to be close to the bell center or if you are ready to take a walk or the metro.

Les trois brasseur - real close, 7/10 (google says 14min walk)

L'amer a boire - 8.5/10 (35min walk, 15metro, don't take a cab after the game for this distance...)

Dieu du Ciel - awesome beer 9.5/10 , (23min in metro, an hour walk) it's my favorite micro-brewery in Montréal, lot of choice, usually every single beer is good! it would be my choice if I was going to the Bell Center with you!

Give 'em hell. Not familiar with beer in Montreal, but I am familiar with the ******* Habs fans that pollute our sport. Bring your A game please. Piss 'em off royally. Throw all hockey knowledge and logic out the window, you need to get down to Hab-fan level to compete with them. They are blind to how ****ty their team actually is, and how much they rely on goaltending to drag their undeserving asses to the playoffs every year. Yes, I'm bitter.

Rando-thoughts:

Opening sequence gave me shivers. I had to watch it 3 times.
Took me 2 hours to watch the whole thing because I kept rewinding things to see them again.
Bryz is hilarious - his universe talk is awesome.
Henrik is such hunk, I had no idea.
Avery is much more subdued that you'd think.
Laviolette is fatter than I thought. He swears a TON too. It's like Boudreau part 2.
Callahan playing in front of his family in Buffalo and scoring a goal was super cool. Old grandma crying - touching.
...and the best for me: How they showed that HUGE hit from Phaneuf just sucked the life out of the Rags. Go Leafs Go!!

Yeah - if I ever jerk off to anything other than porn, this would probably be it.
