Maybe next year, we can turn this into a small money league($20 a person)?

:lol: :lol: :lol: Life is good.

I am sick of any announcer who refers to the crease as the "blue paint". Doesn't it sound better to say his foot was in the crease(FU Hull) instead of his foot was in the "blue paint". It was called the crease forever. WTF!

Just watched the Cubs press conference introducing Joe Maddon as their new manager. I know he had a lot of success in Tampa, but didn't know much else about him. After watching the press conference, I'd love to see him bring a WS championship to Cubs fans. I love how the guy showed up in jeans, and a casual button down shirt(not tucked in). LOL. He has a great sense of humor, seems to be a straight shooter, and hopefully a great asset to the Cubs. They have a ton of young talent, and hopefully he can mold them into a winner over the next few years.

Not speaking for all posters, but many are trying to keep pro-tank talk here or in the "tank is 1/2 over" thread. :ph34r:

Are all the primadonna's going to come out and speak to the media tonight, or are they going to play a game of duck and run again?

Glad to see the Amerks get off to a good start to the season. :thumbsup:

I guess I'm the only one not seeing "all-star" Myers.

Since I am on my anti-Nolan bandwagon, let me be the first to say, I am glad Reinhart is out of here. I would have loved for him to stay up here until the WJC, go there in December, and then come back and play limited minutes, practice his a$$ off, and become best friends with the S&C coach, but IMO this was the right call.

A defenseman's job is exactly that...the last line of DEFENSE. Chances are that the guy who he was chasing was not going to score from along the boards. He was taking a look at the boards as the pass was coming to Marchand. You are okay with that?

So they put a statue of Tim Horton outside the new Tim Horton's. He was an all-time great who was finishing his career as a Sabre when he died in a car accident. They retired his number and now have a statue of him on the property. I'm not losing any sleep over it.

Yes. Instead of getting outshot 37-10, they improved to only getting outshout 37-15.

Myers is a mental midget... - 3:30 to go in regulation, he takes a pass in his own zone, crosses the blue line skating up the middle of the ice, and without any pressure on him, ices the puck(it was not an errant pass) - GWG, he is coming out from the corner, not only is the Marchand all alone in front of the net, but just as the pass is coming from behind the net to the rat, Myers is looking over his shoulder towards the boards. I kid you not. Watch the replay. WTF?? To all who think the Sabres are going to get a king's ransom in return for the marfan man if he is traded, you are dreamers.

They were awesome. What a novel concept...singing the anthem as it was meant to be instead of someone's stylings.

Because I fear that Nolan is poison for the prospects, so either get him the f*** out of here, or keep him, send Zadorov & Reinhart to juniors, Risto back to Rochester, and let Nolan walk around with a woody all day fielding a team of 20 Matt Ellis types.

You know this would guarantee last place and would be awesome to watch... 1st line - Mitchell, Deslauriers & McCormick(no defense and goalie) 2nd line - Stafford, Girgensons, Myers & Gorges(no goalie) :lol:

I stand by my comment earlier this week. This tire fire is just getting started and is going to get worse. IMO Nolan will not survive the season, and Cunneyworth will be named interim for the remainder of the season.

Exactly

:lol:

Cant say I noticed him much good or bad.

So Hodgson gets demoted to the fourth line, gets asked after practice if he is upset about it, and the answer is no. Shouldn't he be upset and pissed about off about being demoted? Wouldn't that be the way a coach would want his player to respond. So all the juicing, detoxing, and weightlifting with the great Gary Roberts that I heard so much about, really means NOTHING when it comes to stepping on the ice. Just another guy with a big fat contract courtesy of Regier.

3 WS Championships and a WS MVP. I'm really going to try and get to see him in Pittsburgh next season.

Just got home. A couple thoughts... - Armia to Grigs and then Grigs(faceoff win) to Armia. Very nice. - Makarov was good, but both Hamilton goals beat him blocker side. - Considering tix were included in all STH packages for free, the crowd was really disappointing. I'm guessing somewhere between 3000-4000. - Lot of wasted PP chances for Amerks. Could have put the game away.

Madison Bumgarner is AWESOME!!!

The Royals winning the WS would have been a great story. What Madison Bumgarner did is even a better story. Unbelievable.
