Buffalo Wings Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 That ref'ing in the Hawks game was a joke. The game is fixed! I like how the Hawks have taken care of business in recent years, but it's time the league stops favoring them. Let someone else (outside of the Rangers, Pens, Wings, or Phlyers) have a shot.

CallawaySabres Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Need the Hawks to win for business purposes but other than that, it's nice to see the Blues overcome the refs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Right. Letang is a guy with a well-earned reputation for stick-work. Who's the Sabre who used to have the same rep -- Sheppard? Audette? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audette? Oh jeez, the rib rake. It's Stalberg's duty to know where his throat is at all times. Very nice. I was going to go with, "He put his neck in a vulnerable position at the last second." I saw that there will be no hearing for Letang. This league never ceases to amaze me. I got a hold of Coli's text to Don Cherry: "Stolberhg is a sweedish woos and hedeserve tit."

That Aud Smell Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Oh jeez, the rib rake. Can't discern tone here. Looked like a nasty spear that he tried to finish with the look of a more benign hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabel79 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Who's the Sabre who used to have the same rep -- Sheppard? Audette? If memory serves me correctly, both of them. I have vivid memories of Audette engaging in some sneaky stick-related nastiness for sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If memory serves me correctly, both of them. I have vivid memories of Audette engaging in some sneaky stick-related nastiness for sure... and now i am trying to remember what small-ish goal scoring sabre told funny stories about rob ray schooling him on defensive stick work (note: not throat slashes - i don't think). saw him in an interview, recalling how rob said he wanted to talk to him about how to use his stick, and the goal scorer was like "this 4th line energy fighter is going to teach me how to use my stick?!"

LTS Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 It's downright exhausting. That moment when eating lunch AND reading Sabrespace has its downside. Wish I was between bites on that... Tarasenko is a beast. Drouin's incessant stick tapping drives me crazy, I can't imagine how his teammates feel about it. Victor freaking Hedman can see you, kid. He's not some goon with no vision. A quote from James Neal's article on The Players' Tribune: http://www.theplayerstribune.com/james-neal-predators-sniper/ I’ll tell you one more thing you might not know about my job: You cannot, under any circumstances, tap your stick on the ice to call for a pass, no matter how open you are. I did this once during my first year in Dallas. Brad Richards was my linemate. The guy is one of the best teammates I ever had. Brad was coming down on a rush with the puck and I found some space. I thought I was open, so I started banging my stick on the ice like we were playing street hockey.When we got back to the bench, he looked over at me and shook his head. Instantly, I realized: Oh, man. Conn Smythe. Stanley Cup. Brad Richards. I think I messed up. He goes, “Kid, if you ever bang your stick on the ice again, you’ll never get another pass from me.” Thanks, bud. I still think I’m always open, I just don’t tap my stick anymore.

Randall Flagg Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Holtby has more points than Giroux and Simmonds combined so far, and Beagle has as many goals as the entire Flyers team :lol: Hope the Caps finish the sweep tonight.

Here we see President Kennedy shift forward in his seat to say something to Governor Connally. 2. Now the President's head is thrust forward ever so slightly. 3. The bullet now has no choice but to meet the president head-on. 4. The limousine speeds up from 12.3 to 12.35 MPH, adding further energy to the head's strike against the bullet. Therefore, the Department of Player Safety suspends President Kennedy's head for 10 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
