[StittsvilleJames]

Hey Kessel...Stay FAT!!!!!

woooohoooo

Only 6 games I wanted to win this season, so far 2-1 for the good guys!!!

 

[jtkratzer]

Bullsh!t...
I would cheer for the nazi's hockey team over the leafs.

And really?!?!?! Canada does dominate the Stanley cup. Just because a team of 75% Canadians plays in a US city does not make that team any less Canadian .....

That's the only comfort Canadians take any more..."The players in the league are mostly Canadian, so it makes it ok that it's been almost 20 years since a team from Canada win the Cup because every time an American-based team wins, there are loads of Canadians on the roster."

That's bullsh*t. Canadians don't cheer for the American team in the Cup finals who has the most Canadian players.

People cheer for the team, whether it's their favorite team because of where they live or favorite player. They support their team, maybe their city, not the nationality of the individuals under the team's sweater.

To say you cheer for a team because of the nationality of the players, outside of international competition, is probably because your favorite team sucks.

Really man, you're wrong. Last year's finals for example - NOBODY I knew (except one misguided fool, and my sister in law who called them the 'Cannuks') wanted Vancouver to win. It was Boston all the way. In fact, it's always about specific players once my team is out. Last year I was hoping to see Kaberle finally win something. Ray Bourque and Dave Andreychuk were also in the "playing-on-American-team-but-I-still-wanted-them-to-win" category.

Your arguments and assumptions are absurd. You're either trollin', or really, really butthurt over something. Inferiority complex, perhaps?

You sound like one of those clowns who starts chanting "USA! USA!" at NHL games.

Another point for Kessel, but it doesn't matter when you lose the game. Such an uninspired group out there - Leafs are TERRIBLE on Saturday nights. If Reimer doesn't come back soon, this season is trashed.

 

[wildwest450]

On a happy note, Detroit is rolling again, 18 goals in the last 4 games with only 4 given up.

That should make everyone smile.

He's a flyers fan, so he already loses at life.

After a ****ty start, Rangers have now won 6 straight. Let's Go Rangers!!!

Well after a few season's of paper-bag-on-head wearing I'm pretty happy to see the Oil not sitting at the bottom of the league and doing pretty well so far. I'm excited for all the young talent on the team right now but I'm worried some of them might burn out half way through the season. But hey I can still cross my fingers for another dynasty like everyone else in this city has been for the last 30 years or so.
I BELIEVE

The Wild slipped by the Oil for 1st in the NW!

Hoping for a dynasty? Really? How about starting with just ONE Stanley Cup?

Or just the playoffs.... baby steps fellas, baby steps.

Love the hit on Miller. Good shoulder to shoulder hit. Miller even put his arm up to check Lucic.

But of course even though there is no rule against hitting a goalie playing the puck outside the crease, Lucic is having a hearing.

If goalies don't want to get hit, they should not play the puck INSIDE ONE OF THE CIRCLES WITH AN OPPONENT COMING AT THEM!

 

[4stringed]

Like I said, I'm just happy to see them not in the bottom of the league right now. If nugent hopkins can keep up the good work, Hemsky stays off injury, Paajarvi pulls his head out of ass, Hall doesn't miss anymore games cuz he's hungover, and khabibulin stays relatively consistent, the Oilers might very well make a playoff appearance this year. That is a lot of ifs tho...

Couldn't agree more, don't like the idea that the goalies should be 'protected' when they come out of the crease like that.

Stupid play by Miller and he paid the price for it, and then he goes to the media to whine about Lucic being bigger than him and calling him gutless. Miller needs to quit whining so much.

 

[4stringed]

Wow I'm so glad I looked that up, what a hit! If the goalies willing to compete with a player gunning it top speed, he should at least anticipate a collision and at least keep your head up, don't play the victim. This is hockey, not soccer

 

[4stringed]

Miller needs to take a page out of Thomas' book

 

[arturo7]

Miller needs to take a page out of Thomas' book

Sorry, but that was BS. Thomas should have been whistled for a penalty, he was clearly standing in the blue paint. If he can't be touched while in there he should be restricted from doing same.

 

[wildwest450]

The ****** calling the game should be fired. Good hit, if you don't like it stay in the crease, you baby. There are a few goalies that should be tethered to the post, simple as that.

Sorry, but you are wrong. This is the exact wording from http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=26480

69.4 Contact Outside the Goal Crease - If an attacking player initiates any contact with a goalkeeper, other than incidental contact, while the goalkeeper is outside his goal crease, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed.

A goalkeeper is not “fair game” just because he is outside the goal crease. The appropriate penalty should be assessed in every case where an attacking player makes unnecessary contact with the goalkeeper. However, incidental contact will be permitted when the goalkeeper is in the act of playing the puck outside his goal crease provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such unnecessary contact.

Lucic didn't make any effort to not hit Miller at all, hence it's illegal (and that's why he got 2 minutes). I don't think a suspension is in order though, but with Shanahan suspending guys for foul language and dirty looks these days, who knows.

Miller should have whined to the media about his own team though, who didn't do crap when it happened. Even if Kaleta had of taken a run at Thomas on the next shift, woudl have been ok with me. Miller can't hang around after the game to cry to the media and call out Lucic. THAT is a gutless move, Ryan.

This is correct. That is the actual rule, so for everyone saying that it is not an illegal play you are wrong. I do agree that Lucic should not be suspended, however he rightfully served the 2 minute penalty. "2 minutes, well worth it".

My fantasy team is finally starting to come together. Anyone else in a competitive fantasy league?

Second by 6 points in a head to head league.

Miller and Thomas haven't exactly been helping me out.
