Around The NHL (Part XLI)

[Holocene]

I honestly don't know why I go to the main boards. I have to remind myself to laugh at it all.

Apparently Staal's slash on the hands of Malkin was worse than Malkin's tomahawk chop "because Staal was wearing a helmet". Never thought I would see people seriously defending a slash on the head vs a slash on the wrists.

To be fair that guy was kidding. But the rest of the thread is indeed a ****show.

 

[Samuel Culper III]

Nah, didn't see an elbow go up, just really unfortunate for Simmonds

Having watched the replay about a dozen times now, with your quote right beneath it I have no idea how I could possibly take anything you write about hockey seriously ever again. Or that was the greatest, most undetectable sarcasm I've ever witnessed on the internet. There hasn't been a more text-book elbow in years.

1-0 Nucks, what a play by Kassian. I wish we had a player like him.

i've been following him pretty closely this year so far hes been really really good. feed to elder was fantastic tonight. both teams seemed to have made out on that trade but i think kassian is going to be the better player.

 

[Canucks LB]

I would remove one of my kidneys with a pair of pliers and proceed to eat it through a straw to get Kassian on the Rangers.

That made me laugh so much. But Nash is a guy with a similar style to Kassian, no?

 

[PG Canuck]

Nice to see Kassian getting love from fans other then the Canucks.

is this a bad call??? it looks like more to the chest then the head..

lol, I went to the main boards to post about gamecenter and saw that thread. I had to post in it, couldn't help myself, it is pretty bad though.
I also love people saying that Staal's incidental stick contact as he was falling was the same as Malkin's intentional whack to the head. puzzling to say the least. I also love how they keep talking about staal's crosscheck to malkin's neck. I have watched that video a few times and I don't see it. I see richards crosschecking malkin and I see malkin kneeing staal while he is down, but don't see a "vicious" crosscheck to the back of malkin's neck as many are claiming.

Terrible call, but we shouldn't be surprised this season.

 

[The Gloaming]

That was a terrible call. The refs suck ass this season. Where is there a hit to the head? Backes even made sure to duck so that he didn't get his head. A bit of a reputation call as well?

Beautiful hit to the chest. Nothing wrong with that.

The referees have been horrendous this year.

imagine if this happened to the NY Rangers. Torts would have been ejected

I have to root for the Pens this afternoon. It's just impossible for me to root for Newark Evil.

id rather root for the Devils than those dirty crybabies in Crosby and Malkin

 

[The Gloaming]

Can't pick the lesser of two evils. Just no three point game please.

 

[Thunderhead]

True , but I still can't stand the team from Newark. Besides, I love Chico when they loose.

 

[The Gloaming]

They were just doing a recap of the Devils 95 Cup on the pregame. Don't tell me that Scott Stevens didn't aim for heads. The hit on Kozlov just exemplifies what he was about.

Anyway, can't root for the two dirty crybabies on ****sburgh, nor can I root for Fatso and Clarktard. Tough game to watch.

Clarktard I refer to him as Doucheson.

 

[The Gloaming]

Clarktard I refer to him as Doucheson.

Anything works for him.

Steve Can-howeveryouspellit has a very punchable face.

Let's go 2-point game!

Another nationally televised game for the pens so I will miss this one.....

darn.

Waiting for the 2pm start between buffalo/montreal, although I may have to watch that one in French.

If the Rangers got a penalty? He'd be furious.

If it were on Crosby or Malkin? I think Shanaban would have something to say about that.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

I can never root for Pittsburgh ever.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Crosby with a slash. he must have got pissed since he broke a nail...

 

[Kershaw]

I can never root for Pittsburgh ever.

I rooted for them before they won the cup. Have never rooted for anything NJ related.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Hey, guys. Do you remember who the Devils' color man was before Chico? Was it Peter McNab? Thanks.

 

[Thunderhead]

Grandpa got beat. 1-0 pens.
