Here's something interesting I thought of during this lockout: variable sized nets.

Generally, a net is 6' x 4'. What I thought was,"why not have this sized net for goalies who are 6' only? For smaller goalies, like 5'6“, the net would be 5'6“ x 4'9". Obviously, there would be restrictions on how big equipment can get, but what I want to see is more acrobatic goal tending as opposed to the robotic styles we see nowadays.

Lol that would be so unfair and definitely not cost efficient

Wouldn't work

It'd be hard, cause like every rink would have to have all of those different sized nets. Also, if a goalie gets pulled mid-game, you'd have to go out and change the nets too.

In theory it makes sense, but practically it doesn't.
 
I hope not, if it means we get a top 6ish pick then sure lol.

I hope we just tank anyways, would be nice to make the playoffs, but then your going to hear people saying "Leafzz only make playoffz when the seasonz is halved, lawlz"
And if we don't make the playoffs, people will say "Ha ha, they can't even make the playoffs in a shortened season!". It's just comes with the territory of being a Leafs fan.

But anyone who discounts a Cup victory because of a shortened season is just bitter that they're favourite team wasn't able to win it. In '95 the Devils swept a Wings team who lost only 13 of 60 games (or there abouts) before the Stanley Cup Finals. Shortened season or not, beating a team with those kinds of numbers 4 straight times is damn impressive.

Yea that's true.

I'd rather just tank this year, I can stomach 25-30 or so losses in a 48 game season in order to land a top calibre prospect
 
What I miss?

Cruise was excellent. Very busy, always something to do. Didn't have time for some things that I wanted to do, wish it was longer but oh well, I will save that stuff for next time. Still had a blast.

Welcome back!

Knights streak ended :cry:. Sarnia beat us in OT in Sarnia. We were leading 3-0 and 5-3 in the game too! Lost 6-5. Would have tied the record that night.

Canada got 4th :rant:, USA won gold
 
Interesting marinade for my chicken that I barbecued tonight that I found online .. It was made up of soy sauce, vegetable oil, honey, and garlic .. But damn was it good on the chicken when it was all cooked

Yeah, I saw the Knightsl ost in OT, was pretty much the first thing I did when I got home :laugh:

Was watching ESPN when I got a chance on the cruise, never any mention of the WJC. Was on the TV at McD we went to when we crossed the border and I saw that :( Rielly play well at all? I take it Subban sucked in the final couple games cause I think I saw Binnington got his first start of the tourney in the bronze medal game?

Rielly played well at times and struggled at times as well. Spott did not give him the ice time he deserved. He played Ryan Murphy too much. Rielly had a great 3rd period today against Russia.

Subban struggled the first 2 games, then played really well against USA and Russia. We played USA in the semis and the team played horrible. The goals weren't Subban's fault. Binnington came in in relief and played well and Spott decided to go with him against Russia for Bronze, which I thought was an odd decision. He let in 3 goals and got pulled and Subban finished the rest of the game. 6-5 loss in OT.
 
Charlio offered to pay me :sarcasm:

Good cruise bud?

So busy between doing family stuff and what I wanted to do :laugh: The family stuff was visiting the islands and going to some shows. Although the shows I went to were pretty good. I missed some acrobat show because I was feeling a little sick, apparently I get seasick ;) But there was also a skating show that was good, tiny ice surface but they were going crazy still. Also saw a musical (Saturday Night Fever), was alright. Made stops in Falmouth Jamaica and Labadee Haiti.

In Jamaica we walked up a waterfall (which was awesome) and had a bit of a boat tour (not really much of a tour, just went up along the coast, nobody talked). Also a lot of driving in Jamaica to get to those things so got to see a lot of it (the tourist Jamaica and the real Jamaica), was neat.

Haiti, I can't really say I saw Haiti. The part of the island we visited was owned by the cruise company (Royal Caribbean) so everything is beautiful looking and quite honestly looked completely planned. By that I mean trees and rocks looked placed and not natural. But it was still really nice. Went zip-lining and went to a great beach for a couple hours.

Side thing that was also kind of interesting was someone was getting medically evacuated (no idea what for but I hope they are alright) so a helicopter had to come in. Watched it fly around the boat for probably an hour. Don't get to see them flying at eye level up close often at all.

Also went skating with the family on the boats ice surface at one point. They got mad at us and kicked us off the ice because we were causing havoc playing tag :laugh: We were pretty much the only people who could skate (so basically the only Canadians there at the time ;)) and we were playing tag weaving in and out of everyone which freaked some people causing them to fall :biglaugh: Was great.
 
I'll say it again: Spott is an idiot.

EDIT: Good to see you had a good time there Grant.

I'll second that.

Welcome back Grant. We tried to catch the Habs board while you were gone but fell short.

I probably only saw about 100 minutes of Canada playing but I will 3rd it.

Hmmm, it is Saturday, I think that is when I did the last few updates, will see if I get around to it. Still catching up on emails and stuff.
 
Currently playing a little BOII, not quite myself yet still tearing through everyone... I love it.
 
52,000 posts. I'm obsessed lol.

Grant would keep count on how much we are behind the habs now :laugh: hope he's enjoying the vacation.

Other than the day I got a little seasick I enjoyed it. I just slept for like 13 hours that day. Bed at 7pm, up at 8am. Felt way better after that, also the wind dying down so less waves helped :laugh:

This is how I feel about the NHL and NHLPA.

What has been the news with the lockout recently? ESPN has diddly squat about the NHL, especially with all the college football bowls that have been going on.

Why did we change the title?

I'm guessing due to internet slang but I missed all the stuff that got deleted :laugh: I don't even know what the old title was :(



Also since some old awesome shows/movies were being listed way earlier in the thread, I feel I should mention PMK was the best show.

PM Brody and ask him why the title got changed. ;)

PMK who knew Elisha would become such a big star.

Or had she already left when you were watching it?
