When you get to the next lowest classification, order, that's where they split. Ducks are in the order Anseriformes with other waterfowl like geese and swans, while penguins are in the order Sphenisciformes.
 
Time to curbstomp the Penguins season. Crush their waning hopes of landing the #3 spot in the division.
 
I'd like to see last games 1st period but for 60 minutes.

If we were crying about makeup/game management calls last game, it's going to be horrendous tonight and Saturday night on Primetime ABC. The league will make sure it's not a blow out
 
Once upon a time in the freezing tundras of Antarctica, a group of superheroes called "The Blue Rangers" were fighting against a tribe of dissident penguins. The penguins, led by their corrupt Emperor Gary that had infiltrated the black & white nation, were spoiled and refused to share their icebergs with the other inhabitants of the land. They had a general named Big nose Mario and his little annoying sidekick Crybaby Sid was always stirring up some trouble as well.
The Blue Rangers, led by their fearless leader Capitano Clothesliner Jakub, were determined to stop the penguins and restore peace to the icy kingdom. Quick Turnover Panini, the Taxidriver Patrick, Hide & Seek Chris, the sly Fox Norris, Russki Tank, SoyBoy Mika, My cousin Vinny, Bloody Ryan, Czar Igor, and the blossoming quintet of young gun Avengers were all geared up for battle. They fought valiantly on the blue ice over a black rubber circle, but the birds held the upper hand.
But before the Blue Rangers could launch their counterattack, a group of blind zebras appeared, claiming to be the neutral party trying to negotiate peace. However, the zebras were actually bribed by Sithlord Gary, who promised them a lifetime supply of fresh Icefish (Champsocephalus gunnari) - which was a tuxedoed fowl favourite.
Despite this setback, the Blue Rangers fought valiantly against the penguins, using their cosmopolitan superpowers to create giant ice blasts and snow storms. My cousin Vinny even used his legal expertise acquired in the swamps outside Gotham to file a lawsuit against Gary for his corrupt actions. The Courts took no notice a Garys corruption and nepotism plagued the Nation into silent submission.
Just when the Blue Rangers were about to emerge victorious, a mean leopard seal appeared out of nowhere and devoured all the birds, leaving the Blue Rangers and the penguins stunned. The big whales, orcas, albatrosses, Kraken, and walruses who had been watching the battle from afar applauded the seal for its impressive performance.
As chaos ensued, GG, the hideous bone-chewing cavedweller with 99% archaic blood, emerged as the unlikely hero. He single-handedly fought off the leopard seal, using his bone-chewing skills to distract the beast.
In the end, peace was finally restored in the realm, and the Blue Rangers and the penguins learned to coexist peacefully. And as for the hideous Pre-neanderthal GG, well, he may have found a new job driving Pat's Southern Sea taxi. It was a good day to be a Ranger. And they lived to see another day as the sun began to disappear for another 6 month day of darkness. THE END

Apparently The Gloaming has been passing the bong around.
 
HFNNYR: "Igor sucks."
Also HFNNYR: "Our defense sucks and has no structure."

We're 9th in goals against, so you're going to have to choose one and stick with it.
It's a solid point. I mean our D zone breakdowns look terrible to us as fans, but that's how many goals are scored in this league, they happen.

When we score its 'look at that play by *my favorite player*, wow *my favorite player* is so skillful and handsome!!!' When other teams score their guys are just scrubs gifted a goal by *my ugly mug most hated defenseman whipping boy*.

Same for Igor, though he showed us last year how elite he can really be and spoiled us.

Actually, this is an interesting point.

We play so milquetoast most of the time that I think Rangers fans are viewing prime scoring chances as abnormal.

That's just what regular hockey looks like when you coach offense. We're better at preventing chances than two-thirds of the teams.
 
I truly wonder how the league is going to manage to get Pittsburgh two more generation stars after Crosby and Malkin retire.

They went from Lemieux and Jagr to Crosby and Malkin.
 
It's far from just Snowblind who thinks Igor sucks. He does suck this year. He's 12% below his career save percentage. The team was objectively worse at defense last year.

Snowblind thought Igor sucked last year and thought Hasek sucked, so that's a different story, but this year he's right.

There's people who think Igor is playing bad, which he was/is. That's different to thinking he sucks though.

Like you said, Igor truly sucks and is irredeemable in some peoples eyes.... which is batshit lunacy. He's produce at extreme levels at every single level of his career. This season is the outlier.

Ok so then he is playing bad.

And our defense sucks.

And we're 9th in goals against because... :dunno:

They make us trade Laf and Kakko to them for 3rd round picks?
