The drink of astronauts?

:lol: I'm embarrassed I laughed, but I did.

Drayton. Rough day.

Dear Aud Club Whiskey Forum, I never thought this would happen to me...

Hockey Tonight!!!

I had planned to attend Amerks opener. Emphasis on had. My balloon of excitement just met the needle of work crap.

Taro sez: Let me speak for Assquatch. :D

Some of us wish we were. :beer:

I'm sorry for your loss.

This makes me happy every time I hear it.

I guess by this standard Avery's mysogynistic 'sloppy seconds' comments would not get a Shannytube video. Actually, what I'm hoping this leads to is more clean hitting. If players know that the league will address clearly dirty hits hopefully we can see an end to the trend of retaliating for even clean hits. Retaliating for a clean hit should be an instigator penaly.

I'd hate to see a north south hit like this taken out of the game. Keep your head up, Campy.

B. Smith to get 5 (regular season) game suspension for hitting B. Smith. (permanent damage to the space/time continuum ensues) http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=377100

Just a friendly difference of opinion. Shanny will sort it out.

I can't agree with any of that. The defender went for the hit not the puck. Dangerous hit. That is as clear a violation of the lateral hit rule as I've seen.

That is exactly the hit they want out of the game, coming in from a lateral direction, principal point of the hit is the head. ........so he's gonna be sitting. I'll put the over/under at 8 games. Illegal check to the head.

Schoenny and Dr. Dirty... :lol:

The league will do nothing. The guys that stir things up and skate away are your Averys, Kaletas, Tootoo,Carcillo,, etc. As long as players like that are in the league it wil go on.

Nd --- On ice officialls don't police on ice languag that is not directed at them as their job is to make sure the game is safe and fair. Now Avery who is a hall of fame chirper has no credibility when it comes to on ice language, and in almost every players mind he broke the code by bringing this up. Like it or not, the term F-got on ice is not thought to be a anti-gay slur - but the most common challenge to someone walking away from something they said or did on the ice, and don't hear that word any differently than the P word which is an anti-woman slur. Not saying this is stuff to be celebrated. But it is all dropped when players leave the ice. The idea that any player is creating a hostile workplace for Sean Avery is really laughable. The reality is that highly offensive language is at every game and it is not meant for fans, and the worst of it is used as gamesmanship to rattle, provoke, or create an edge. The code is that it stays on the ice.

<points finger to own chest> My bad.

:lol:

At 12:47 into the third period, Daniel Briere uses the butt of his stick to assault the reproductive region of another player jeopardizing his potential progeny ....well it's not completely in the rules as such.....but every dude knows that's wrong. Therefore, I'm suspending Daniel Briere for ....hmmmmm.....let's make it 40.

He's clearly reading a prompter.....but it comes off like Schweddy Balls
