  1. Tim Connolly doesn't stay healthy enough. Man, the guy is amazing and the team is so much better with him in the lineup. The guy is a talent.
  2. Complaint: Why does Tim Connolly think it's ok to skate around with his head down??
  3. Burn. Actually they are expected to do well in certain sports. Kinda' like the US is expected to be able to pass a baton without dropping it. Like I read before. The Summer Games for Canadians are just training sessions for the real games. The Winter Games.
  4. My complaint for the day. Why can't the US Commentators in the Olympics, along with their special ex-Olympians/coach/etc colour commentators just accept it when the US team or athlete loses?? Case in point. When the 2 gymansts tied the other night, the gold went to the Chinese girl by virtue of tie-breaking rules. The rules were not made up on the spot. So because the US girl got the bump, it was a travesty. It was why oh why are these the rules? But if it were the other way around, it would have been just fine. I have to tell you, as a Canadian, this is one of the main reasons other countries want yours to fail. It's an arrogance that goes beyond normal. The CBC commentators obviously want Canadian athletes to do well but when they don't, they don't make excuses. They really do call the games fairly, giving the kudos to those who deserve it. They don't make excuses or complain. I want to give props to the girl who didn't receive the baton, but turned around and picked it up and finished the race, even though they were dq'd. But truthfully, there was no sadness on my part that the US mens/womens 4x100 didn't qualify. I shudder to hear the excuses Costas comes up with tonight.
  5. Will Darcy really wait another month before doing something?? Our season is starting to slowly turn murky. I'd really like to finish first in the East. If it came down to us against NJ, I would really want that extra game at home. Trouble?
  6. Brodeur is average when playing behind average defense. The rail cam is cool for REPLAYS. I like it when they show the player nearest to the camera. It is a good replay camera. I felt sick when it was on live tho.
  7. Nice article on Soupy today. http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app/?service=page&p...rticleid=287879
  8. Gee, I wonder if teams will only put out left handed shooters when facing Miller in the SO now?? My god. That shot was impossible for him to save. Let's hope there are lots of righties when the next SO happens.
  9. What a wasted comeback. I hate these types of losses. 3 minutes til garbage time. damn. this one stings.
  10. I hope I'm wrong. I'll gladly eat my words.
  11. Giving up a lot of late goals in periods lately. I'll take a point tonight, but I doubt it will happen. All Star break will refresh the boys. 3 zip. They're done. I hate Montreal.
  12. This is why I NEVER want Vancouver and Buffalo to meet in the Finals. It sucks. They gave a good effort in 1 and 3 from what I heard, but period 2 was brutal. The Canucks are a good checking team, but Buffalo is a much better squad. They just don't seem to burying their opps lately. I'm sure that will change tho.
  13. Perfect. My 1A team gets 2 points, my 1B gets 1. Whew. Feel bad for Sabourin, but I'm over it. Not impressed with our showing by what I heard, but I'll take it.
  14. After tonight, the Canucks will have 4 less wins than us???????
  15. Did Miller just make another highway robbery save? The Canucks commentator called goal but quickly backtracked in disbelief.
  16. Max gets his first ever point against Vancouver. How about another?
  17. They may have the best PK in the world, but they only had one shorty going into tonight's game. The poster is correct in saying how bad our pp is. A 2 on 1 shorthanded is bad. A clearcut breakaway is brutal. And 2 passes were made to spring him. Briere?? Take the hit like a man. 3 penalties in a row kill momentum. Just kill it. Play hockey.
  18. Obviously not on a game day. But it's been a long time coming. Their PP is embarrassing. No shots, not even close. Come on. Max 0 points in 8 2/3 games against Vancouver. Come on Max.
  19. Ruff needs to give these guys a hell practice. Bag skate time. Make 'em puke time.
  20. big trouble now. Canucks are the Devils of the West almost. Their pp is a joke. Honestly. Sabourin has zero NHL wins. Just like the Sabres to help get that changed around. Shots are what, 15-5 canucks in the 2nd. They played last night. Brutal.
  21. Apparently he didn't even see the puck and it went off of him. That is what the Van commentators said. 3 penalties in 5 minutes?? wtf? bad feeling.
  22. Bad feeling. We're all over them. The Canucks are getting the breaks these days. One post, one disallowed goal. Come on Buffalo.
  23. Sabourin is in. In his 3 previous starts he's given up a goal very early in the game. Once giving up 2 on 3 shots. Another on his first shot of the game. He does settle down nicely though. Imperative to get a good start. The Canucks hang around it could be trouble. The Canucks are ripe for the picking. 2nd game in as many nights. Already a very successful roady. An early barrage by Buffalo and they'll pack it in.
