  1. No! and No!

     

    This franchise needs a heart transplant. For years this roster has been littered with tin men with talent. This team needs to be adding players like Kassian not trading them away. Bring in tough young hockey players and find a coach that can develop them and give this franchise the identity it has been missing for a long long time.

     

    As I said before, I've seen Cody Hodgson types come and go over the years, in the end they never really made a difference. Jason Dawe, Brian Holzinger, Donald Audette, Derek Plante and the list goes on and on.

     

     

    I'd rather have Kassian and Foligno.

    Haha that list of players makes me laugh... Of course if you are trying to be serious with it then it makes me sad that your years of suffering sabrefandom has made you pick past players that don't really match the player your complaining about

  2. Carolina: C -- Staal; Brind'amour; W -- Recchi Decision: C

    Anaheim: C -- Getzlaf, W -- none really Decision: C

    Detroit: C -- Datsyuk, Zetterberg; W -- Franzen, Holmstrom Decision: C

    Pittsburgh: C -- Crosby, Malkin; W -- Guerin Decision: C

    Chicago: Toews, Sharp/Kane; W -- Hossa, Byfuglien (part-time D) Decision: C (but it's close -- Byfuglien was a huge part of that SC win)

    Boston: Bergeron, Marchand; W -- Lucic Decision: W (but it's close)

    LA: Kopitar, Richards; W -- Brown, Penner Decision: C

    Point of order here......

     

    Recchi is a beatial winger? really?

     

    Guerin was certainly not an elite beastial winger by the time Crosby won his cup

     

    Kane wasn't tried at center until this past season, I don't recall Sharp playing alot of center until after the year they won the cup, and Hossa whilest a great player I would not call him a powerforward let alone a beastial winger

     

    Marchand is a elite center? does he even play center?

  3. Kassian is no more aggresive then stafford. the only major differences in their physical games is Kassian is more willing to fight (think he was told he had to on the first line) and is better at shielding the puck. neither is that great of a hitter and kassian is certainly a dirtier hitter.

     

    Anyone that compares CoHo to Adams centering the top line favorably for Adams is either related to Adams, smoking crack, trolling, or clueless on hockey. I remember watching Adams center that top line and he lucked into some points was generally out of position in most zones and was carried by his wingers. CoHo by comparison has struggled in defensive coverage against teams top players lucked into a couple goals been involved in the play with his wingers and opened up chances for his wingers. To go online gaming nerd I would say Adams on the top line proced a buff that decreased that lines nuke strength. Where as CoHo proced the buff that increased the nuke strength.

  4. Still not super thrilled with Hodgson. He's on the ice for a ton of the goals scored against us. Hopefully he learns a thing or two from Poms and Vanek because it's scary to see him on the ice when the puck is in our end.

    To be fair CoHo has been making bad plays defensivily against some really good offensive players. I think that will work its self out with some time with Pommer
  5. I haven't dug very deeply into Irish whsiskey but Bushmill's Black Bush is in an approachable price point and has a good rep from what I've heard. Redbreast is usually highly regarded. Depending on your budget, Tyrconnell has a great reputation too but the price really starts to creep up here.

    Got a bottle of Bushmill's Black Bush for this holiday weekend. I was told by the worker there when I commented that my understanding is bushmills and Jameson are kinda the same with a different label, that it is a more flavorful (stronger) version of Jameson.

     

    I'm sure there are better / more qualified people to answer this, but my friend's husband loves Feckin. I personally haven't sampled much in the way of Irish whiskey just yet, but it's on the to-do list.

    funny thing about that brand....... worker approached me asking if he could help me and i said I am looking to try a different irish whiskey but I only see bushmills, jameson, and tullamore dew in a affordable range. He told me we use to carry another brand called Feckin but only 1 person use to come in to buy it and it looked like we don't carry it anymore. Might have to try Premier liquer next week.

  6. I might of asked this before but i'll be damned if I can find it. Any suggestions for a irish whiskey? I have tried Jameson and Tullamore Dew (Tullamore is better). Looking for suggestions for another to try. Or if someone has a out of the box (not irish whiskey) that they think would be good for a Tullamore/Jameson drinker.

  7. Monica, better than Steffi? I think not, sir. Not that I think you were trying to start a debate like that, just thought I'd point out that Steffi was twice as good as Monica.

     

    As far as grunting goes...I don't think i really care either way, some are annoying others aren't, I'm pretty sure I did it unconsciously during my tennis career, so i guess i can't condemn it. And i agree with the 1919 comment, I feel that way seeing the players wearing all white a Wimbledon.

     

    I keep hoping someone will get a really bad spray tan before thier wimbledon match and sweat stain there white outfit horribly. lol

  8. Anyone hear there's a movement ( supported by Martina N ) to eliminate the grunts and screaming from women's tennis. To be honest I really like the back and forth of it. Thoughts ?

    Nobody tells my women sharapova she cant grunt and scream!!!!!!!!!
