Really, it just sounds like a far out stat when you think about it. I wasn't saying it's not true, it's just hard to believe lol...

I get ya...i was just kind of bustin ur chops lol.

 

[End of Glory]

We came back and crushed them, nice win for Rangers with 7-3 against shitty Devils!

 

[Mort Divine]

Beat the Blackhawks, beat the Habs, lose to the Panthers

lolok

Jurco - Sheahan - Tatar was great though

Typical B's fan lol jk

So glad the Habs ended that horrible slump...

Price seems like he's back to form after that shutout win!

 

[End of Glory]

2 stadium games, 2 wins!

 

[muzmaze]

Looks like 4 stadium games slated for next year. Unless its the Bs v Habs at Fenway for the Winter Classic...im not too crazy bout this stadium shit.

 

[Nephilim96]

I'm totally indifferent, really. And btw, the Caps have already been chosen to host the Winter Classic.

HABSSSSS!!!!!

I doubt it will happen but there's a lot of talk in the Pittsburgh media about a Letang trade, which I would love to see. He's been a valuable asset to the team in the past and is a great player but as I've stated before I'm not exactly his biggest fan. He has a lot of offensive skill, skating ability and creativity on the PP but he can also make a lot of foolish and irresponsible plays that usually have disastrous results. Especially in critical situations, last year's playoff run had about a million of them.

His contract is also way too big and eats up a massive amount of cap space. I'm sorry but 7.25 million a year is too much for him. I know bigger contracts have been signed for worse players but when you have Crosby and Malkin both making 10 mil a year you can't afford to throw money around. The pens have a bunch of young defensive that could easily replace him anyways, he's not essential to the team anymore.

Fucking Blues. Played like garbage.

 

[Matt]

Yeah they did but they had some shitass luck too at the end. 3-4 shots off the crossbar

 

[Kara-Shehr]

^I didn't know Orthanc had a tv. Or did you watch the game with the Palantír?

 

[muzmaze]

HAH! Amon Amarth (on tour in Boston) took in todays Bruins game. Total win all around!

 

[Nephilim96]

Ducks are starting to struggle, but I'm cool with it. Can't win them all.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Blues have been struggling too. At least they won last night

 

[Mort Divine]

What a game today between the Caps-Wings

We lost, but damn! Nyquist exploded, Z was an absolute warrior...but god the defense outside of Kronwall and DeKeyser was horrible, and Howie looked REALLY off

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

god damn, sometimes the Blues piss me off so much
0-7 on the PP
Halak lets in shit goals and never makes amazing saves

 

[SweptbackFlame]

^and people kept saying Halak was the better goalie when he was traded out of Montreal... HAHAHAHAHA

 

[muzmaze]

Bs and Habs rumored to be 1 of the 4 stadium series slated for next year, held at Gillette Stadium. Not a huge fan of the stadium series, but this could be kind of cool i guess.

 

[SweptbackFlame]

^Cool.


So Stamkos isn't headed to the Olympics he hasn't been cleared to play.

So now the big question is who takes his place.

My 3 choices would be Claude Giroux, Martin St. Louis, James Neal


If they are looking for a guy who can be a goal scorer to fill Stamkos spot, I'd go with Neal. If they are just going for all around ability and skill St. Louis is your guy. I like Giroux, but this year I don't know if he could help Canada at all.

It'll be interesting to see.
