Captain Caveman

I play in leagues and pickup games that are primarily men with some better women's players. I've never even looked at the rules, but I've also haven't seen an intentional check in the last ten years at least, and if anyone did I know everyone else around would quckly shut it down. We're old, we have jobs, we can't afford to get hurt. Unintentional contact, sure it happens, but I think anyone who's on the ice (Male or Female) is taking that risk knowingly. I think it was kind of strange for her to wait for an apology, but if the league took her $, I don't think she should be treated any differently than any other of the players (And without reading the article - I am assuming she was targeted with this check for being a Woman - maybe that's not the case and it's being overblown.)

Get off my lawn

Wow, I thought it kind of looked (and sounded) like him but honestly didn't expect him to look better post-retirement.

Who is on the post-game with Marty?

Oh well, Corey Perry is available

It's clear to me that we have 6 or 7 guys who are better (if everyone's healthy)

I like to think he's smart enough to know that only winning is going to save his job, and keeping Connor up isn't helping him there.

Is anyone claiming him? If not he can play in Rocheseter...

Clifton absolutely needs to be benched or waives / sent down. He is killing this team night after night. That's not to say he's the only issue, but that would be a great start.

Last night was dreadful I'm trying to remind myself though that we're basically playing .500 hockey without our best player, and with several other key guys not playing like themselves or possibly playing injured. If we can stay at .500 until Tage gets back, if we can see guys like like Kulich or Benson (and eventually Quinn) show they are ready to contribute this season doesn't have to be lost. Before last night I was thinking that Levi should be playing in Rochester, but now I'm not sure Comrie is a better option (definitely not fair to judge either though on last night's abysmal team performance.)

Even one exemption per team is too much, but one exemption per team every 3 (or 5) years might make sense.

Wonder if Biro and Rousek are sitting just cause they want more vets in the lineup tonight?

So UPL has moved right past shoot outs / breakaways and is now going to stand up 2 on 0s?

getting jobbed here

wooooo

*****

GET IN THERE

we've got to sink some of these chances

you get the ***** power play ya *****, get the ***** outta here

Rather than open a new thread I thought I'd hijack this one... I am hoping to go the the Nov. 14th game against the Bruins, most likely by myself. Am I correct in assuming I'll likely do better pricing wise if I wait until it's close to game day to get my ticket?

I'd feel a lot better about this statement if not for the last 5 minutes last night (admittedly I did not get to see the game and am only going by box score)

this sucks

WHY DO THEY KEEP SHOOTING GLOVE SIDE!

he seems like a guy that probably shouldn't be playing every night any more.

who else is on pins and needles EVERY TIME they see Clifton out there
