Miscellaneous NHL Talk XXIV

[bennysflyers16]

Anyone watch Sports on Fire yet ?

These quotes from Bobby !!!

"This is gonna be Canadian hockey, **** the rest of them, we've got nothing to lose, we can play and do whatever we want on the ice, and we did"

"If I hadn't learned to lay a two-hander once in awhile, I'd never left Flin Flon"

Sports on fire, yah watched it twice last nite on hbo can. It was great liked it. Clarke was fun to listen to. Definitely a guy with fire, chippy, hard working guy. A guy that did what he had to to win. I like the part where he says " playing the Habs was like playing an All star team, they could play any style, we didn't have the talent and had to play our style to win. Serge savard had a lot of unkind words about the flyers. Us dirty, ok. But Montreal took shots at orr's knees over the years. That's not dirty. Ok if they say so, I beg to differ.
Man watching Phil Esposito after the van game, sweating like crazy and telling Canadian fans that booing canada was wrong. And the Canadian fans payed attention and showed a lot of passion and love, heading over to Russia, to help swing the tide.
Yah I wonder what the rest of the series is gonna be like.

Matt Cooke crossed checked Shea Weber in the face and Weber proceeded to try and kill him. He kept punching when he was on the ice and even tried to pick him out of the scrum with the refs as well. Sensing Cooke doesn't have much respect around the league lol.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I'm gonna need to see that.

 

[Jtown]

I'm gonna need to see that.

ditto

 

[OzFlyers]

Here's the hit.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

does Cooke get a call for that ?

now that shanny isnt in charge i would hope so...

lumber across the face directly.

 

[Akanon]

Here you go, guys.

 

[Sombastate]

I think we'll all agree someone got their comeuppance

 

[Jtown]

cooke really didn't get a "beatdown"

 

[Beef Invictus]

Holy damn he slugged the hell out of him.

Cooke is such ****ing scum. Should be out of the league.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I hope Weber found him later in the game and leveled the **** out of him.

 

[Chinatown88]

But I thought Cooke was a changed man.

Weber was mad.

Giroux and Voracek obviously both made it.

Game was almost over but they play again three more times

Girgensons because...why?

Bob only made it cause the game is in Columbus. His stats this year arent deserving of it.

 

[Coffe]

Because Latvian votes.

How about that contract.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Girgensons probably would have made it anyway. Looks like every team got a player in the game.

Yep, Justin Faulk in for the Canes, thus snubbing guys like Subban and Josi. It looks like all of the Hawks players got voted in too?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Faulk has just as many points as those guys playing on a terrible team so you can at least make a case. Buffalo did not deserve a rep.

 

[flyguy]

He's 3 points shy of both Subban and Josi, and is also a -16. Some of that is of course due to playing for Carolina, but still, if they weren't trying to have a rep from every team, there would certainly be more deserving guys getting the nod over Faulk.

 

[PALE PWNR]

Every team gets a rep. And when you allow 5 players from the same team get voted in well you can only send so many people. All-star game without Zetterberg or Datsyuk lol. Nik Backstrom is at a PPG same with JvR and both of them snubbed. 14th and 15th in scoring
