Hockey Fans?

[monkeygirl]

Quack..Quack...Do I hear the sound of li'l webbed feet..waddle..waddle...quack..quack....

I know it's a ridiculous amount of time before the 1st game, down right stupid, ice show...gimmee a break.....Why with all the playoff predictions why would they book the pond at playoff time..:rolleyes:

They still could have played tonight....Obviously another US network deal Bettman bowed down to....

...but geez..I can't believe you guys aren't here gloating and making bold statements about winning Lord Stanley. You know, actually thinking the Ducklits are good enough to beat the Sens lol...lol..:D

Quack..Quack...

Go Sens Go!

[westcoast_gc]

As a Ducks Hockey fan... I'm not that bold to say Ducks in any #, but if they do win Sir Stanley, Hmmmmmmm :mega: Since the Ducks have the most Canadians in the league, it's all good. Sir Stanley gets to spread his love all around :mega:
Bragging is for sore winners:(

[Van Quad]

Watching the Ducks against the Nucks, I couldn't see anybody knocking off Anaheim. But Detroit exposed some weaknesses on the team. At this point, I'd say Ottawa is favoured.

[gvinton]

I'll be there tonight! See you there George. Go Ducks!

[monkeygirl]

:rolleyes: Watching the Ducks against the Nucks, I couldn't see anybody knocking off Anaheim. But Detroit exposed some weaknesses on the team..

Huh :thinking: anybody knocking them off? They didn't look that good. If we were healthy, a full complement of NHL players, not Moose farmhands & hadn't gone through the guelling 7 (actually 9 game) series with Dallas, we could have been playing the Sens tonight.

After all the talk of the big bad ducks, I wasn't that impressed, 4 of the 5 games could have gone either way. They usually won on flukes and brain-farts.Jiggy was great. Game 5, we were just running on fumes, and finally died.

I actually thought the Sharks were better. I still think if the Ducks played the Sharks the stinky fish would have beat them, as the Wings should have beat them also, they lucked out there, another brain-fart win.

Although I must say, I'm looking forward to watching the Penner, Perry, Getzlaf line become the most dominate line in the league for years to come. Those guys are awesome:applaud:

Anywho, Lets hope for a wicked series..."finally, I might ad :rolleyes: "

Go Sens Go!

PS: Way to go Giants...:applaud:

[monkeygirl]

I'll be there tonight! See you there George. Go Ducks!

Right-on, have a blast guys, it would be cool if you guys win the 1st of your 3 wins tonight :p This should be an exciting fast paced series!:applaud:

[christopher]

Wow. Anaheim's completely shut down Ottawa these first 2 games! I hope Ottawa wins at least one...

[westcoast_gc]

Or save the seal and drink a beer with alchohol..

If the Ducks can keep up the intensity they had in game 2 in the ''TURDS'' house,then this baby is over..I dont believe the Sens have the fortitude to bounce back,the fans will turn on them...Alfie will hide..Heatley will float..Spezza's a bitch and unless they get over there fear of being hit,or atleast make an attempt to match it...there toast.

BLOW SENS BLOW!

On another note,anyone else pumped about the Preds moving north?

My pleasure George. Watched the game last night with these two at their house. Good start. Sucky ending. NO GOAL I say...

If the Sens can stretch it to 7 games I'll be there again. No tix for game 5.

By the way, this is a pretty savvy hockey group in this picture. I coach, the 2 pictured are season ticket holders (as well as George). My 2 boys pictured to the left are both pretty talented travel hockey players. It may be hard to imagine, but hockey does exist south of the border.

Hope (not) to see you game 7! Ducks in 5!!!

[monkeygirl]

I think I'll frame it! :p :D

PS: Nice to see the Sens finally show up...I won't even mention the "P" word :rolleyes: he's not worth the time.....

Yup, this picture's a keeper all right...one to keep for your grandkids...:D

I was just launching stereotypes. I've met some hockey crazed Americans in my day.

Speaking of stereotypes, I noticed Pahlsson was MIA after Spezza slapped him around. It will be interesting to see if Ottawa takes advantage of his sudden loss of enthusiasm.:D

[monkeygirl]

So artsy, you must live way up north somewhere, are you in danger of this flood from the snow melt? Even down here there's worries with the Fraser, scary man. They're sandbagging all along the river in Maple Ridge, Langley, etc.

I think BC's really in for it this year. We've already had fires from the heat, now this flood, I have a feeling fires are going to be huge this year. This global warming stuff is brutal.:zombie:

[monkeygirl]

Well, well, well.....

GV, best you be trying to scrape up a ticket somewhere, there's no way they'll come back down 3-1. You have to get in there somehow. I'm sure you'll get one off a scalper, even if it costs a stupid amount, you may never get the chance to experience this again. Hell, mortgage the house man...:D

As a matter of fact you won't be able to experience this again, don't you guys loose alot of guys to free agency this year? That, and we'll be taking over Lord Stan for the next 4yrs.:D

Go GV Go!! Go GV Go!!! I'm sure your wife will understand, if not well, there's lots of ducks in the pond. :p :D

Quack...Quack....You lucky boogers......it's gonna be awesome!!!!!!!!:applaud:

[Van Quad]

Actually, it's nice to see the Cup come West for a change. The West has always been the more powerful conference, but the playoff marathon to represent the West has always taken its toll. And good on Brian Burke. He landed in a situation with an established goaltender. His only weakness was finding goaltenders.

One more game and it's BC Lion season! :applaud:

[westcoast_gc]

From insidehockey.com

by James Murphy

Let this humble scribe come right out and say "I was wrong!" For the past two months, I have been pumping up the Senators as a team that finally found grit, heart and character. Yeah that’s right, I jumped right on that Senators bandwagon and believed that this Ottawa team finally had the right mix of skill and mental toughness, of desire and determination... and with all those characteristics, I saw them as the team to beat.

So, let me be the first to say "I was blind." I was suckered into the “Red Zone” and more importantly, as I have been for the previous two Finals, cheering for the Cup to be hoisted in a city and country that appreciates that this is the hardest trophy to win and the best playoff tournament in sports. Now, I regret cheering for and enjoying what I now see as (with the exception of a few players), a team of underachieving players... and at times, one that is capable of very cowardly acts, exemplified by their captain, Daniel Alfredsson. It’s no wonder Canada didn’t get behind this team as they did the Flames and Oilers.

What kind of captain does what Alfredsson did last night, when he (and there is no debate here, he had plenty of options where to rifle that puck), blasted a shot at the always-classy Ducks captain, Scott Niedermayer? Then, as if that wasn’t bad enough, as a scrum ensued around the "Krusty the Clown" look-alike, Alfredsson sucker-punched Travis Moen, who was being held back by a linesman. And somehow, he escaped all of this without a single penalty? [See video below]

Well, not only was this a classless move by a guy who had appeared to finally earn his stripes as an elite player and solid captain, but this also fortified the Ducks. Of course, many wondered if Anaheim would rally around the absence of the suspended Chris Pronger as they did in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against Detroit. After a rough first period, the Ducks completely outplayed the Senators in the second... and after the Alfredsson incident, they managed to step things up even further.

J.S. Giguere had kept them in the game during the first period and the Ducks paid him back in full, just as they did in Game 5 of the Detroit series. They stayed disciplined, channeled their anger at Alfredsson into their play on the ice. And they all but ended this series in the third period, when Dustin Penner tallied the game-winning goal by burying a beautiful feed from Teemu Selanne.

Now, if the league really wanted to continue setting an example with the zero tolerance stance they’ve taken towards head-hunting and intent-to-injure by suspending Pronger twice in the playoffs, then the press box should be as close as Alfredsson gets to the ice for Game 5! Could that puck not have wound up injuring Niedermayer? Was there not intent to hurt? Did Alfredsson not let frustration get the best of him?

Unfortunately, the bet here is he will be on the ice for the last game of this series, because as they are with everything lately, the NHL will continue to be inconsistent with their interpretation of what requires punishment. That is a shame, but really it will be a shame for Alfredsson if and when the Ducks exact retribution. And furthermore, should the Ducks choose to retaliate during Game 5, it will be yet another black eye for a league that has had so many shiners lately, it’s just about ready to suffer a broken orbital bone!

Oh by the way, I just received a press release from the Senators... The aforementioned “Red Zone,” an area outside Scotiabank Place typically set-up for Senators fans to congregate and watch the game, will be closed for Game 5. They must be afraid that fans wearing No. 11 will start launching pucks at security guards when the Senators lose.

Sens are finnished! They couldnt take even take advantage of having Pronger out for a game they needed to win....SENS SUCK!

Congrats Ducks fans! Nice you even get to do it at home...You better go GV,its your night :)

Aw shucks, Vermette just screwed up his penalty shot. Ottawa is sunk. Oh well, there is always next year. The Canucks will go all the way in 2008.
In the meantime, I'll watch FC Toronto kick that ball around. I grew up with soccer anyway.
Yep, monkey girl, I am a northern "hill billie." I live in Prince George. Walking ..er rolling distance from the Fraser River. But my house is high enough, I won't get flooded out. But some other people around here will "get wet feet." Same thing for some friends of mine in Houston (just west of here) The Bulkley River goes over its banks almost every spring and this winter we had almost 6 feet of snow there. Not in PG though. I only had 1.5 feet where I live. Banana belt here.:D

[artsyguy1954]

:wtf: Ottawa wants to get 3 goals in 5 minutes. Yea, right. Maybe if they bring the Great One out of retirement. Or take out Niedermeyer (good ole Cranbrook boy) Where is Todd Bertuzzi when you need him. I ramble, I make no sense anymore... .... ....:cool: :gloomy: :gloomy: Poor Emery.

Is it odd to anyone that the last two Stanley Cup champs are from North Carolina and California?

Congrats also, it was to be thiers this year. Just too many things fell thier way. Duck fans enjoy! Bob

[gvinton]

Unfortunately, I couldn't swing it...

However, I watched the game with my family which was equally rewarding. My 9 year old was almost in tears he was so excited. He told me, "I'm going to hoist the Cup someday Dad". Great time to be a young hockey player in Southern California. It doesn't get much better...

Bummer bud, but yeah, let's hope this spurs on a whole new generation of hockey players, including you kids.:D Almost in tears...he's almost there, I ball like a lil baby as soon as I see the guys piling off the ice till Bettman's smug face shows up, then again till all the guys celebrate with the cup. It gets me every year, doesn't matter who the team is. Drives me nuts....

Anywho congrats my Duck buddies, I'm happy for all the devoted Duck fans,(you deserve it standing by your team while so many couldn't give two sh*ts) the Neid's family, especially mom. I'm happy for all the hard working kids, and of course Burkey and Jen. At least Stan will spend most of his time in Canada :applaud: After all that's why they won, it's good Canadian hockey blood, we're all born with it. :D

PS: JD, the reason the cup went to the Canes, and now the Duckies is because the teams sucked so bad for years, you guys got all the 1st round draft picks, and know they're older and producing. So there!!!:p Pipe that in your put & smoke it!!!:D

Anywho, Savour the moment guys, you'll be in JD's shoes next year :p A one year wonder..lol...lol....

Hey Monkeygirl us hockey folks here in the SW corner of Manitoba got caught in somewhat of a moral dilemma about who to cheer for since Dustin Penner hails from Winkler http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/teams/players/bio/?id=4412&hubname=nhl-duckshttp://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/musik/music-smiley-005.gif (just a stones throw east from where we live) and a number of players on the Ducks were former Winnipeg Jets ...... hmmmmm the Sens or Ducks ..

You can bet their bags were packed a two weeks ago :p

MG,

Don't make me go back and quote your numerous "love" posts for Bert. A nice addition for the Ducks and obviously fits right in with Burke's style of play. With Selanne and Nieds probably retiring it opened up some cap space. May have spent a bit too much...

Ducks are bigger, meaner... Go ahead, say something bad. See what happens...

[monkeygirl]

Yeah 4 yrs ago before he he turned into Flotuzzi...all he did since his one big year (contract year) is give the puck away, take stupid penalties..always while we were on the PP (every friken time) Float around the ice like he was lost. The guy was a cancer on the bench and in the room.

I really hope he doesn't screw the chemistry with your team. He's a miserable SOB,thinks he should get preferential treatment, won't play defensively. He was like a -500 or something.

Have fun hearing the boobirds, you get so sick of hearing it. I fiqure Burkey screwed up on this one, he's got so much bad baggage, I think Burkey let his emotions into this deal. The worst thing a GM can do. :zombie:

Don't get me wrong, I wish him well for your guys sake..but it will take a miracle.

PS: Here's my last post about Flotuzzi:

"What a great trade, see ya later Bert, hopefully he'll do well in Florida. We had to part ways for everyones sake. Thank god, I couldn't take another season of yelling at him. Having once being a wicked power forward & my fav player to a underperforming, miserable overpaid floater."

LOL...I still have have everything somewhere, except the t-shirt (I used it for a rag) You Quackers want to buy them..cheap.....:D :p Or maybe I'll wait till when he becomes a superstar..lol...lol...:p

Hockey elite expected at Ferguson funeral


Chris Thompson, CanWest News Service
Published: Tuesday, July 17, 2007

WINDSOR, Ont. - A memorial service scheduled Saturday for the late John Ferguson Sr. is likely to attract a who's who of the hockey world to pay tribute to the Montreal Canadiens tough guy who made the Windsor area his home.

Ferguson, 68, the father of Toronto Maple Leafs general manager John Ferguson Jr., succumbed to prostate cancer Saturday.

A memorial service is scheduled for Saturday morning.

There will be no private service, Ferguson's daughter Christina Ruhl said Monday, but they are anticipating a strong turnout from the hockey fraternity for the Saturday memorial.

"My brother (John Jr.) has been receiving quite a few phone calls," said Ruhl.

"A lot of people have said they want to come and it's just a question of getting flights and everything. We put it later in the week to give people time to get here."

Ed Agnew, a friend of Ferguson and fellow member of the Circle of Seven fundraising group, said he expects a large number of former Canadiens teammates and others from the hockey world to make the trip.

After retiring from playing, Ferguson also worked for the Winnipeg Jets, New York Rangers, Ottawa Senators and San Jose Sharks.

John Jr. issued a statement through the Toronto Maple Leafs website.

"On behalf of my entire family, I'd like to thank the many friends, professional colleagues, medical personnel, and hockey fans who have supported us through this difficult time," said Ferguson.

"Your expressions of sympathy have helped bring comfort to us. Your kind words have helped strengthen us. My father battled cancer with the same spirit in which he played the game of hockey. He showed courage, strength, class and tremendous character. He had deep appreciation for the support he'd received from so many people beginning with his initial diagnosis. My father's spirit will continue to live on in all of us whose lives he touched."

Agnew said the Circle of Seven has already set up an endowment fund in Ferguson's name that will help worthy young athletes, musicians or artists.

The group has already deposited $10,000 in the fund, which was set up prior to Ferguson's death.

On the Windsor Star website, dozens of friends and fans e-mailed their condolences, including Scott Campbell, a defenceman with the Winnipeg Jets in the early 1980s when Ferguson was the club's general manager.

"Having played for this terrific guy in Winnipeg, it is a sad day for anyone that was lucky enough to meet Fergie," Campbell wrote from his home in Collingwood, Ont.

"I really enjoyed playing for him but our relationship didn't end there. Over the years I have asked John to write letters of reference and make phone calls for me, as well as asking him for advice. They were all taken care of right away, done with thoughtfulness and thoroughness."

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman also released a statement regarding Ferguson's death.

"There was no more passionate competitor, as a player, as a coach or as an executive, than John Ferguson," Bettman said.

"He was tough, he wanted the best for his teams, his teammates and his players, and his country, and would stop at nothing to try to help them win. His fight against cancer was every bit as fierce as his competitive drive on and off the ice. The league has lost a great hockey man. We extend our deepest sympathies to the entire Ferguson family."

[monkeygirl]

LOL....

"Cammalleri, who led the Kings last season with 80 points, tied the score 1-1 on a power play at 14:10 of the first period while Bertuzzi was serving a tripping penalty."

Gee..That didn't take long..his second game...oh no sorry, my mistake, it was his big debut.:p Lol...I know it's only playsies now, but get used to it guys. Sorry...I warned ya. That's where he was when the Wingnuts got knocked out too, nevermind the Nucks exit a few years back.

PS: Do you beleive this:

Brad Isbister's one-timer late in the first period that caught goaltender Roberto Luongo up high. Luongo lay face-down on the ice for more than a minute, and was escorted to the dressing room by trainer Mike Burnstein. Luongo did not return. He got a shot in the throat or collar bone and they're monitoring it. The other day Cowan and Linden took Lui out in the crease too! Enough already!:zombie:

Sami Salo also left the game after jamming his wrist and will get x-rays, while Trevor Linden left the game with a pulled groin. :zombie: Geez......

[monkeygirl]

While I was researching stuff, defending our new jersey which I like, (the Vancouver.. marketing ploy, I actually like now too) I so love our vintage colors. I came across this, all the new jerseys.

[gvinton]

We were there chanting "One more year!". Nieds had a gleam in his eye, he'll be back around Thanksgiving I say... I see Selanne every Thursday, his kids practice the same time as my youngest. He seems more content with retirement...

I picked up 1/2 season tix this year. WC and I sit about 10 feet apart...

[graybeard]

Might grab a few Caps games this year. Looks as though they have decided to get a competitive team on the ice finally. The new jerseys arent that great, but if they can keep their level of play, I can live with it.

Yeah, Nieds will be back & Selanne will retire. That's awesome you guys having seats so close.:D If wc is even around, haven't heard from him since before his cruise. Don't even know how it went...geez...I was hoping for a review, which ports etc, there's 3 different routes now, I would like to know which stops are best.

Oh well maybe he's just bummed about the ducklings start, if they're still doing this at 20 games in there's a problem, but now, no biggie, they'll be back in form. Nucks aren't that great right now either, too many injuries, pre-season was a wash, no real set lines, not in sync yet, it's like pre-season now. Although, it was sweet sweeping the Oil this wknd.:applaud:

Oh yeah..Ovechkin, you're lucky to be able to see him when you want, he's awesome. You should go when the Nucks come to town on 26th, it'll be a great game, we'll kick your ass though :p

PS: I think their new white away jerseys are the nicest in the league.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy...lol..no one will claim him, he's toast :applaud:
Flyers put forward Boulerice on waivers


The Philadelphia Flyers placed suspended forward Jesse Boulerice (http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/player_bio.asp?player_id=58) on waivers Monday.
Boulerice is serving a 25-game suspension for cross-checking Vancouver Canucks centre Ryan Kesler (http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/player_bio.asp?player_id=3513) in the head last Wednesday.
"I reacted in a bad way - the wrong way," Boulerice said following the game. "I wanted to give him a hit back."
"We're by no means condoning what happened," Flyers coach John Stevens said after the team announced the suspension. "He's going to have to stand up and pay the price."
Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren echoed the same sentiment.

[monkeygirl]

Well looks like hell froze over :zombie: , pretty bad it took till he died for it to actually happen.....:rolleyes:

Finally, thumbs up to the Chicago Blackhawks, who will televise Sunday's
home game against Detroit, hot on the heels of Neil Armstrong's walk on the
moon.
The pictures will be in colour - there will be instant replay - I'm guessing
high-definition is still in the future, but Rocky Wirtz is not his father's owner
and the long-standing policy of keeping the Hawks a secret when they're
playing at the United Center is finally coming to an end. LOL....

Just in time to showcase Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews.:applaud:

Hopefully by next season you'll actually get a full 82 games, like you should.

Yeah you better hope so...:zombie: Jiggy's losses have really messed with my pool. I'd be pissed too about McDonald being traded. The only reason his numbers are down is the whole team is sucking, not just because he doesn't have Selanne. I'd love to have McDonald.

Weight might pop in a few trying to prove he's not washed up, but that'll come to an end, then free agency...so McDonald for nothing except a lil cap space he could have got with someone not near as good. I know his hands were tied but he should have showed a lil more patience. If Neids made him sit this long, a couple more wks wouldn't kill him...oh well.....:zzz: bedtime......

PS: Where the heck is WC, I never took him for a bandwagoner, just because the ducks are getting plucked WC no need to bail...

[gvinton]

We also need to re-sign Perry this season or risk another Penner situation. Moving Mac fixes this as well. Hopefully Weight will have some chemistry with Bert - Mac didn't...Our defense is now insane - the best. Selanne coming back will give us 2 legit scoring lines, still the best checking line around, special teams and role players intact, and a much improved 4th line compared to last year.All we have to do in sneak in to the play-offs. Then, no one will want to play us. This team is built for success in the play-offs.WC is around, I see him at the games. BTW, my 9 year old buried his shoot-out goal during intermission at the Honda Center last week, more goals than the Ducks scored that night...

[westcoast_gc]

I have been really busy lateley but I still make to all Ducks home games. GV's son made an awesome goal... Sweet to see a future NHLer from So.Cal.

They must set rules before next season starts. Deadlines and injury related reasons only, or else it will be a joke.

being a canucklehead at heart, it kills me to say that the ducks are going to have a great post-all star break run. that powerplay is going to explode with those 2 vets back.

i still believe luongo is the best goalie in the league, but he is not playing like the bobby lou we all know and love (i know he is a little distracted with his wife's pregnancy)..we need him back in his fine form, and quick. i had high hopes going into this season but i have accepted that this is probably not going to be the canucks season. with our HUGE lack of offensive threats and lui on a slump, we are going to stay low in the very competitive west. our future looks very bright though with all the young talent on this team. lets also hope we can unload some garbage sooner than later (ie. cowan, cooke, isbister, etc).

So where were you after the 3 games we smoked ya. :thinking: :thinking: You're lucky we didn't sweep ya. You finally win a game against us this season because no one came to play & you show up to razz my goalie.... Well of all the nerve................

PS: That must have felt great for Bryzgalov to get that win the other night ....:D

Oh and how are you enjoying your 4million dollar Floatuzzi? :D

Got that right, it's been a long time coming, we finally have lots of great young bucks. I would have killed Nonis if he traded any of them. We'll have plenty of cash in the off season to get some shooters.

I miss Bure too.....

Avery...no question..although Pronger's a close 2nd..gets away with shit over & over & over again....

Totally agree..what a goof, should be kicked out of the league

It was bad enough I paid for pay-per-view @ 13 bucks. :zombie: I told myself I wasn't going get them anymore and I broke down last night, that's it, never again. They always loose on pay-per-view :mad:

So where were you after the 3 games we smoked ya. :thinking: :thinking: You're lucky we didn't sweep ya. You finally win a game against us this season because no one came to play & you show up to razz my goalie.... Well of all the nerve................

PS: That must have felt great for Bryzgalov to get that win the other night ....:D

Oh and how are you enjoying your 4million dollar Floatuzzi? :D

Ha! Hockey! Gotta love it! :mega: I hope you guys make the playoffs Heeeeee :applaud: No worries, i'm sure Bryz threw a cheep shot somehow ;) He is after all from the dirtiest team :p I still don't cheer for big Bert but i'm not the owner.

[monkeygirl]

What a joke, he got away with another one....

Pronger suspended eight games

The National Hockey League has handed Anaheim Ducks defenceman Chris Pronger (http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/player_bio.asp?player_id=681) an eight-game suspension for stomping on Vancouver Canucks forward Ryan Kesler (http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/player_bio.asp?player_id=3513) in a game Wednesday night.

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=232096&hubname=nhl

One day Campbell will grow some balls...:rolleyes: pathetic......He gets to rest up for the playoffs...an absolute joke...wonder who he'll take out in the playoffs this year? :rolleyes: Hope everyone watches their back...or head or leg or........piece of sh*t...............

[christopher]

Well, kids, it's the final stretch. 4-5 games left... Detroit is... Detroit...will Edmonton bump Vancouver out and once again be our Cinderella team? Toronto's gone... Jersey and Ottawa are running out of gas... I'm not even gonna mention my team for fear of jinxing them but, um,

OOH YEAH BABY!

I figure the Habs and Pittsburgh in round 2 or 3 will be the hardest fought series... San Jose is on a tear, they could take down Detroit, but hey. It's playoff hockey. Who the Hell knows.

Hey Monkeygirl, I'll try and get some pictures of me at a playoff game. Who knows, maybe you can catch me on your DVR! :)

[mossberg531]

Go Thrashers, even though they suck half of the time.

[monkeygirl]

That would be great if you made it to a game Chris, the Bell Center is supposed to be an awesome place to watch a game, the fans are said to be the best in the league....extremely passionate. Even though you're a trader...:p

Hey mossberg, with Kovalchuk and some good kids coming up, have patience, they'll get better, if the team doesn't move, Georgia isn't exactly a hockey hot-bed. :p Keep supporting your team...:)

Well well....these Canuckleheads have put us on a rollercoaster ride of the century. They haven't showed up for a few weeks untill last night...I had pretty much written them off. Now they go and instill hope again :zombie:

It's so maddening, they were like night and day..Still though, they gotta run the table..too lil' to late..where was last nights passion and at the Oilers game a month ago :confused: Especially Nazzy last night, where the hell was that all season long?

In honor of Floppa's flop last week::rolleyes:

PS: Gotta love my avatar after last nights game hey..:applaud:

[graybeard]

To try and make the playoffs. The Caps are jus oh so close... Makes ya wonder what would be ifn they had made the headcoach switch before the season, where would we be? Yeah well, at least I have a reason to cheer this late in the year.

[christopher]

Well, I got my tickets on Saturday. I was only allowed to get a total of four tickets for all of the first round games, I got a pair for each of the first two. Since I had to go to the Bell Centre with my kids and we had to wait outside for an hour in -15 degree weather (I don't wanna hear about it!), I promised them I'd take one of them to each of the games.

I'm worried about injuries though. I hope Koivu and Streit will be back for the playoffs... but can you believe we've got 7 50+ point players this season? Kovalev has really shone this season, a great model for the youngest team in the league. And shoot, we've got one of the highest goals for in the league! And that Price kid... he's gonna come into his own. Almost all of our players are signed on until 2009/10... the future looks bright.

Damn, it feels good to be a Habs fan again. :)

If they make it in and are playing Montreal, we'll be toast. Huet knows our team too well.

[graybeard]

:friday: Sumbitches!!!!!!!!! We made it in!!!!!!!:applaud: ....took alot of helpfrom the Panthers to pull it off, but hey, I aint proud....I will take all the help we can get. Paper sez we woulda got in even if Carolina had won, cuz Boston feebed against the Sabres. I dunno....I am jus thrilled we get to party again. The Canadians are set for Boston, which they dogged all season. I am hoping for the Sens, as we did really well against them. If its the FLyers, gonna be a dogfight.....old rivals never die.

[monkeygirl]

Injuries, D was depleted from training camp on, not rookies, the top 4 on a continuous basis. This led to 3rd & 4th line players having to play 1st & 2nd line minutes with neither the experience, skill or talent to do so.
Again, the Sedin’s were our #1 line, they are good 2nd line players, not 1st line.
Nazzy has lost it, partly do to Coach AV’s defensive style of play, once Nazzy focused on D, he lost his offensive abilities..vanished..poof gone.
Coach AV’s style of coaching period. The guys were drained trying to play his type of hockey. A defensive stiffiling brand of hockey. The line matching, chess game, one goal games, grinding the crap out of these guys day in day out.
Lack of offensive talent, Nonis had a year to pick up some goal scoring and didn’t, for some legitimate reasons, some not, but he still failed to do so.
Too soft, more grit & size is badly needed, way to easy to play against.
Luongo had a off year because of his distractions with his wife’s difficult pregnancy & his baby, the fact alone that she’s been in Florida for 6mths because of all the problems. (side note: Plan next baby for off-season please)
Off- season will be busy for Nonis, he best step up and make some good trades and acquisitions. He will have lots more $ off the books, his hands were somewhat tied this year. AV will still be coach, but if he has good players he can lighten up on D for more entertaining hockey. Until next season……

On a happier note, hats off to Linden “Captain Canuck Forever” and the respect shown between all of the players last night including Iggy and the Flames. Check out the vid…I balled my frikin eyes out though, glad I wasn’t at the game, I was a babbling fool….:crybaby:

Right-on grayb..I too was so hoping you got in.:applaud: Any fan of hockey would get ripped off not seeing Ovechkin in the playoffs. Now after you move on to round 2, the ultimate matchup Ovechkin, Sid the kid and Malkin. Man, that would be awesome.:D

[monkeygirl]

Oh yeah, Chris, wish the Froglits were playing someone else first series..kinda ba-humbug...Bruins....:( Oh well....should take them out 5....

Hey my duckling buds..you got the best draw of the league, Stars are floundering like some other team I know :zombie: Should be done in 5 also, give them 1 for Turco being lights out one night.

Gee..enjoy the playoffs you guys...thank-god for all the rookies this year to keep it interesting. At this point I'm pulling for 1) Penquies 2) Caps 3) Froglits 4) Flamers...(because of Iggy)

Good luck all my fellow puckheads...It's a sad day in Canuckville today..:gloomy: But I'll be cheering you all on, I just won't be able to trash talk, and that's the best part. :(

[christopher]

Boston/ Montreal should be a gimme... the last thing we need is a frikkin Red Sox-like comeback! NOBODY even DREAMED of Montreal winning the Eastern conference. This entire city has gone crazy... there's Habs flags flying off of every third car, and the playoffs haven't even started.

Pittsburgh/ Ottawa - Pittsburgh totally threw that game against Phillie so they'd meet Ottawa in the playoffs. No Alfredsson, no goalie... Pittsburgh in 5.

Washington/ Phillie- my hats off to Washington for getting Huet at the trade deadline, a decision thats paid off in spades for both teams. I hope they don't get too brutalized by Phillie. I think coach of the year should go to either Bruce Boudreau or Guy Carbonneault (the Hab's coach... they weren't even supposed to make the playoff this year, according to Toronto's Sports Network).

New Jersey/ New York - thats a toughie. Jersey's kind of run out of gas (although not as bad as Ottawa) and the Rangers have had their number all year.

The East will boil down to Pittsburgh/ Montreal (most exciting series of the playoffs, I'd wager), with the Caps as a possible upset team.

As for the West, it looks like San Jose's year. I like that Thornton kid. Sorry about your Canucks MGirl, but I'm not sorry about Shaun's Leafs. :p

Game on!

[Freedom92]

GO WILD!!!!!!! There gonna be the sleeper team to watch.

[gvinton]

I usually fall asleep watching them...

Hab fans have waited a while; so have leaf fans but they don't count :D

I concur with your analysis but San Jose would have to get past the Ducks in the second round and I'm not sure they can accomplish that.

[Freedom92]

I usually fall asleep watching them...

Take your eyes off the golf channel and try watching hockey instead.

[gvinton]

Come to think of it, The Masters and Ducks vs. Stars on Thursday. Very good day! I assure you, I probably see far too much hockey. Duck season tix (1/2 season) and 2 kids playing travel hockey, I'm inside rinks more than outside...

[monkeygirl]

Come to think of it, Ducks vs. Stars on Thursday. Very good day!

Well maybe not to good....ouch..tarred & feathered or what? :p The Stars to boot?..............

Yeah..yeah, I know at least you're in the playoffs yada yada yada...:D I can still trash ya's..lol..

This photo was shot last night after the game..................:p

Great game last night. My kid loved it, Montreal had total control... bring out the brooms!

[NorthQuad]

Great game last night. My kid loved it, Montreal had total control... bring out the brooms!
Totally! I watched it. Ole's all the way through. It was great.

[monkeygirl]

Oh My......I won't even razz you guys after another bad loss last night. I feel for ya my duck buddies, that must really suck being there and all. :( On the other hand if they would put away their big bad duck image (kind of an oxymoron..lol) & trying to intimidate & hit more than playing smart playoff hockey they'd win some games.

I hope you guys take out Dallas, I hate Mr. Egomaniac Madano more than any other player in the league, even more than Pronger. So Go Ducks Go!:D

[monkeygirl]

Great game last night. My kid loved it, Montreal had total control... bring out the brooms!

Right-on Chris, I thought our barn rocked in the playoffs, that place is awesome. You lucky booger. :D

[gvinton]

In my expert opinion, we're playing bad and they're playing good. To turn things around, we need to play good which will hopefully make them play bad. Who says we don't know hockey in California?

[Van Quad]

Ducks looked done to me. Burke will be with the Leafs unless they turn this around:D

You're lucky you won last night Buck..almost..............

[christopher]

Damn! I have a bad habit of speaking too soon. Hats off to Boston, they've really fought hard and shut down our offense since game 1. Price is a great goalie but these third period breakdowns are tough to watch. At least Koivu's back so we have 2 good scoring lines. I'm holding my breath for game 7...

Frikkin awesome hockey though!

[monkeygirl]

Damn! I have a bad habit of speaking too soon.

Frikkin awesome hockey though!

Yipper on both counts..:D As soon as you used the "B" word, I knew, you blew it , you must reap what you sow now Bro! :D

Yeah, WOW.. what a wicked game, 1st full frog game I watched, awesome! Kinda wonder now though, they've got the Mo now...hmmmmm. I hope not. Go Froglits Go!!!

Man, what a night, do or die Flamers & Ducklings..I hate all 4 teams, I wish they could all loose..:D :p Should be an awesome night of hockey, alot of sore fingers from flippin back and forth that's for sure.

Gotta say how much I'm enjoying playoff hockey having no invested interest, no emotional breakdowns..lol...,no ups & downs, no throwing stuff at the tv, no need to search out valium to make it through a series lol..There truly are benefits to missing the big show..:D Nevermind the $100's of dollars for playoff tics. :D

So Bobby, you guys really got to quit getting the Presidents Cup and jinxing yourselves..here we go again...maybe if the Wings were in a competitive division they wouldn't get so many points and have a chance at winning without the jinx.:p :p Gotta luv Zetterberg though..man, I'd luv to have him alright. Good Luck Bud..you're gonna need it :p ....Hope all is well :)

PS: Friggin Av's...man I hate them, I wanted them to loose soooo bad, next round I hope.

OK..Off to watch fun, stress-free hockey now..haw haw..!!! Go get your valium boys!! :p

[monkeygirl]

OH MY! Sorry to see that happen my duck buddies. Guess the boys will be flippin for tee times. :( Here I thought the Stars might win one because of Turco...Guess I wasn't paying enough attention.

So I guess you guys are now on the Sharks bandwagon :p Burke to TO rumors like frikkin crazy now.....:rolleyes:

[christopher]

Here's a little French lesson for you kids. :)

Whoooooooooooo! (http://www.tetesaclaques.tv/video.php?vid=521)

What. A. Game!

Whoo! Whoo! Whoooooooo! The ride home from the bar was a glorious thing. They'll be honkin outside my window until 1am. The white towels.... 'Na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye'... Monkeygirl, I feel 9 years old all over again!

Whooooooo!

ps. Monkeygirl, in Montreal, for people in chairs, tix are $45 a pop. :D

[kkmay]

Go Flyers.

[handibob]

Great game last night! Gotta love playoff hockey. You knew I'd be lurking around MG, hope all is well with you. Bob

[christopher]

Was it ever! :p

Seriously though, I want to see Detroit beat Colorado. I'm rootin' for San Jose on your side though.

As for us, a shaky 1st period and a couple of fluke goals... what a nailbiter! I'll throw a pic up over the weekend.

[westcoast_gc]

Congrats to all the teams who made it past the first round. WTF :confused: I'm still pissed about the Ducks. I find myself pondering about the Western teams still in... I hate all of them BASTARDS! HA! Anyway, after much thought on who I hope will the Grand daddy prize of all, The Lord Stanley Cup. I hope a team on the Eastern side wins. If not the Canadiens then the Flyers. :o

[christopher]

Last night's game was tough to watch. Biron was hot, Price was not. Oh well. Here's some pics from game 1.

[christopher]

Youppi!

[christopher]

Nice seats! :)

[kkmay]

Go Flyers!

[TF Green]

Go Red Wings :)

[Van Quad]

Go Red Wings :)


Indeed! I grew up idolising the Red Wings. Good thing! Canuck fans need a fallback position.

[christopher]

A pox on you and your Flyers KK! This series has been so gd frustrating! 35-40 shots a game for butkus.

[handibob]

NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bob

[kkmay]

I don't even like hockey, but go Flyers!!! Two thumbs down for Mr. Crosby on the Pittsburgh Penguins!

[handibob]

Great game last night!!!!!!!! My wings are looking pretty good right now!!

[NorthQuad]

I'd say so. Did the Wings even break a sweat?

[JobMatchNow]

Im not a die hard Canucks fan but I am a die hard TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING fan

[monkeygirl]

Great game last night!!!!!!!! My wings are looking pretty good right now!!

Hey Bobby...I didn't catch that whole game but I watched the Av's SWEEP :applaud: :applaud: After watching that series, it seems like Lord Stan will be visiting you after all.

Johan Franzen...WoW, I'm glad all these swedes are doing good, maybe after you win the cup, people will shut up about swedes. I'm so sick of it having 5 on the Nucks, I hear crap all the time. Sure they may not be as physical but they're all talented.

Anywho, should be a closer game tonight, I just hope Turco keeps his record of never winning at the Joe.:D

PS: This thread is 6 yrs old cool hey :mega:

MG, you called it, it was close. Didn't get to watch much, was playing cards. I agree, the Swedes are so fast. Yeah 6 yrs, crazy. Hope all is well. GO WINGS!

[handibob]

All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! looking like a sweep.

[westcoast_gc]

All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! looking like a sweep.
Uhhhh ohhhh. Bob you jinked it man... Never use the S word.:zombie: After that comment, Red Wings in 5 :D

Should be a great SCF, Red Wings vs Pens. :mega:

[monkeygirl]

Uhhhh ohhhh. Bob you jinked it man... Never use the S word.:zombie: After that comment, Red Wings in 5 :D

Yup exactly what I said...Bobby...Bobby..Bobby...:nono: Let's hope it's in 5 now.....better say you're sorry to the hockey gods Bobby, look what happened to the Habs when Chris said the "S" word.:zombie:

PS: Hey you recovering from you're early 1st round exit WC, bummer man, I sure felt for ya, that sure wasn't expected, I at least gave you 2 rounds. Gotta say though, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Pronger in the box to end the game. :D He was useless in that series..Karma, I say, Karma.

[handibob]

Well, what can I say? They we're just looking so damn good it was hard to hold back. They'll just have to do it at the Joe. I think that goal that was waived off screwed them up, there was absolutely no interference. Well, 5 will have to do! Go Wings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[monkeygirl]

[quote=handibob] I think that goal that was waived off screwed them up, there was absolutely no interference.quote]

Yeah what a bullpoop call that was. That's unnacceptable in any game, nevermind playoffs. It would've been real bull if you lost by one goal, or if it was game 7, could you imagine......There's no reason not to have reveiwed that, they better from now on. That ref should be fined and not allowed to do playoffs.:nono:

[handibob]

I geuss that S word really screwed things up? Damn, beat me with a rubber hockey stick. lol. On to game 6.

[handibob]

Nnneeexxxttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[westcoast_gc]

Ok sinse I don't like the Red Wings ;) Go ahead and use the S word now Bob :D Should be a great series. Can't wait till Saturday. Congrats to both teams. :mega:

[sean9]

I just scored tickets for games 1 and 7 of the finals at Joe Louis!!

...I was there earlier in the year cheering for the canucks...

...now I will be there cheering for Pitty...

[handibob]

Well, it's about time we got some bantering going!!!!!!!!!! Just for the record, the S word is not coming from this keyboard.lol. The line in the ice has been drawn and let's hope it's a great series. GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God bless. Makes me sad to see a young person pass away.

[monkeygirl]

Yup, this really sucks, man I hate bikes, I just friggin hate them. He was just starting to come on, fiqured he'd be a Nuck for many years to come. He was a Jovo in the making.

PS: Did I mention how much I hate bikes.:mad: There should be graduated licensing for bikes like in Germany, instead of kids being able to get a license "poof" then go buy a racing bike right out of the box. It's stupid, absolutely stupid.

RIP Cool-Hand Luc................His poor family......

[Van Quad]

My Acadian cousin. I was so thrilled when the canucks drafted Luc because he's Acadian like my family. He undoubtedly was followed by many, many Maritimers of French origin.

His poor mother. She convinced him last year not to buy a motorcycle. This year she couldn't dissuade him. I'd ridden the same highway many times on my motorcycle. Too much bike for a novice rider.

[monkeygirl]

Musta been disappointing to loose that game especially going so long. I'm glad though, I want 7 games, and 1 OT. I'm kinda disapointed Cheli's not playing though...a healthy scratch :thinking: He can't be that much of a liability, I think Babcock's being a dink (pun intended) :D Give the guy who's been there all this time some frikkin icetime. Show some respect, you know what I mean?

I have a healthy hate-on for him but I luv & respect him as a player. I can't believe more people aren't making a stink, or are they in Hockeytown :confused: Actually my best meomory was when I was ice level one game, Bert just nailed Cheli & his face into the glass right infront of me. He face looked like a squished up pizza on the glass lol,,lol,,,:applaud:

Anywho, I'm doing better now thanx, looking forward to Wed's game, I'd like to see the kids win & go 7, but, I think it's over Wed., you Wingnuts deserve Lord Stan more, next year for the kids, they gained loads of experience that will help them huge next season.

ROFLMFAO :rofl: Well it's about time..Look who crawled out of the Moose-pie!

I was actually kind of worried about you..nah not really..:p How could you abandon me with the Laufs worst season ever? Do you have any idea how much bashing I had to keep inside?

Everytime they lost, a deep saddness would come over me knowing that I couldn't bash you. I'm glad you're back I guess..but it will take time for me to forgive you, leaving me with so much built up Lauf bashing that ultimately went unheard. It will just take time...........

[handibob]

WOW! shaun and mg!!!!!!!!!!! it feels like old times. lol. Well it could possibly go to seven but I don't think so myself. No, not much about cheli, they talk more about his new restaraunts(sp)? Should be a great game tonight, great to have part of the original Hockey Fan gang back! Bob

[monkeygirl]

Ya lucky turd...:applaud: Are ya going to the parade Friday? Finally the Swedes shight will be put to rest..I hope. The kids were awesome too. Was that a last second no goal or what :zombie:

Well enjoy it, hope it gets Hockeytown back to Hockeytown next season. Detroit really needed it this year, it killed me seeing empty seats at the Joe. I'm also happy for all the other occtopie that will live another day. :D

Now that Stans gone, bring on the draft, trades & free agents, we got to get down to business here in Nuckland, and it better be good.

I'm happy for ya Bud, enjoy...I guess this is pretty much how your feeling right about now hey?

[westcoast_gc]

To much :friday: in motown will end up :puke1: Hey you crazy wing nuts, try not to burn down the city. :mega:
Congrats Wings and Wings fans. I could have used a game seven though.

[handibob]

LUCK? no luck about it, the better team won! After my sweep prediction from the last round I was staying cautious. This team is awesome and just too deep for anyone. The empty seats were effected by the economy also, we're too tied to the auto industry and a lot of people are hurtin around here financialy. The tv ratings were way up! The parade should be great, just can't make it myself, but tv coverage should be cool. Till next year all!!!!!!!!!!!! Bob

[harley-lynn]

:angel: so glad...the wings won!!!...

[Shaun]

Congrats Bob!!

PS: What happened to you guys? I was expecting you that Saturday, ya bonehead!!! :thinking:

[monkeygirl]

Oh yeah, I almost forgot did you guys see Lou's new baby? :applaud:

[Shaun]

Oh my MG,are you delusional :D

And i no longer recognize the ''person'' in that pic...who is he again?

Ya i know,i didnt get to see anybody on the trip..it sucked cause i was lookin forward to it..We were fully gonna stop on saturday but started listening to the radio and the ferry traffic was out of control so we bolted for it..

[Shaun]

First televised game of the season,will,pre-season anyways...Monday night...WOOOOO!

[Shaun]

The real punchline is in part 2. You might have to be a bit of a D&D/ Star Wars nerd to enjoy it and it's totally off topic but it's funny as hell!



'Lord Gardakan, you have a very hospitable posterior!'

I was kind of actually half assed expecting to see you go wheelin through a scene..and i dont know why!

[monkeygirl]

First televised game of the season,will,pre-season anyways...Monday night...WOOOOO!

Yeah Baby!!:applaud: I'm pumped to see all the new guys in an actual game senario. Just been getting teased by reports at camp and a few quick clips.

Gee you must be majorly pumped to finally be able to see your $14 million dollar Finger..Ah ha ha ha...Ah ha ha ha...:rotfl: ..still shaking my head at that one...almost as bad as McCabe....

I'm just waiting for injuries right off the hop like last year...ie., Salo..I'll just freak.....please hockey gods,, leave our D alone this year,,I'm almost scared to watch :zombie: Go Hodgey Go!!!! I hope he performs tonight, I hope he makes the club.....

[Yellow]

I've been to NBA, NFL and MLB games before but never to a NHL. I am determined to go this season. I'm crossing my fingers to see a brawl out at the game :X

[westcoast_gc]

Hmmmm. A goalie sporting the "C". I had to chech out NHL history on this one. :thinking: Here is what I learned.

Only six goaltenders have served as team captains in NHL history. The Montreal Canadiens' Bill Durnan was the last goaltender to serve as captain in the 1947-'48 season.
Prior to 1948-'49, the NHL passed a rule prohibiting goalies to act as captain or assistants in what could be called the 'Durnan Rule.'
The Canadiens keeper left his crease so much to argue calls that opponents protested saying that Durnan's actions gave the Canadiens unscheduled timeouts during strategic points in games.

[NorthQuad]

That's a very good point. I can see that being a problem.

[Van Quad]

The Montreal Canadiens' Bill Durnan was the last goaltender to serve as captain in the 1947-'48 season.

And the Leafs won the Cup that year... yeah, like that's ever going to happen again! :devdude:

[monkeygirl]

WOW,,What a shocker that was, :zombie: I love it, he is the leader on this team in every way already. Everyone said he should be the cap, but he can't cause he's a goalie. Right on AV & Gillis!

It's a stupid outdated rule that he can't wear the "C". 3 others have A's. Willie will talk to the refs if need be, & Ohlie to do ceramonial faceoffs, & Kesler to practice becoming the next captain.

Capt Loui I love it!:applaud:

I've been to NBA, NFL and MLB games before but never to a NHL. I am determined to go this season. I'm crossing my fingers to see a brawl out at the game :X

Hey Yellow! Welcome aboard...The Canucks are playin the Rangers on 19, Isles on 18th of Nov, you should go to one of those and watch the Canucks kick their asses! :D

Lucky for you, dip for brains, Sean (turtle boy) Avery is now a double dumb dallas star! Ha! Hope you like hockey. The other sports are boring untill playoffs. Hockey kicks ass all season long! :mega:

[NorthQuad]

Hockey kicks ass all season long! :mega:
Friggin' Eh!

I hope our ass-kicking pre-season continues! It's a great time to be a Habs fan!

Part 2..Part one is further down.....

Man, Hawk fans are soooo lucky to have Toews..:mad: and he's just a kid.....

http://watch.tsn.ca/nhl/#clip98485

[NorthQuad]

I bet CBC wishes they had the song back.

[Van Quad]

I bet CBC wishes they had the song back.


Man you're out of touch. Put down the Alberta Report and turn on CBC's The Hour. George Stroumboulopoulos is big with the younger generation, and the key demographic. He's been pimping the new anthem contest and turned into a goldmine for CBC. New generation, new anthem. Get with the times old guy.:D

[NorthQuad]

Yeah, I've listened to the final five choices. They should have just asked some Canadian rock bands to pull together and bust out something badass. All final five are lacking.

[Shaun]

Well,here we are! Our first HNIC with a new tune,dont know that all shakin up by it,but it will be different! I voted 'Canadian Gold' myself http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIlH72xcRGM&feature=related

And im gonna say the Leafs ride the high of there win over the wings and take there home opener 3-1 over the Habs!

[Shaun]

On another note http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=252302&lid=headline&lpos=secStory_main

Poor fcker!

'Canadian Gold' was my first choice as well.

[Shaun]

The other finalist,what is it 'Sticks on the ice' or something? Ya,i dont like that one at all..actually if i think about it,id probably be disapointed if that wins.

[Shaun]

And why was there even a contest? It should have just gone to Stompin Tom! Am i right or am i wrong here?

The not sure of the names, but I voted for #4. It was the one with the three drummers. It was by far the best.

[monkeygirl]

And im gonna say the Leafs ride the high of there win over the wings and take there home opener 3-1 over the Habs!

Well that high ride sure crashed and burned quick hey! :p Hope it was thoroughly enjoyed, it'll be the last ride for a loooooooong time..:p :D

Now with that said....I must now speak up about my boys. I let the 6-0-1 preseason ride because after all it was preseason, and it really didn't count for much other than confidence, but hey, now I can factor in the pre-season with the reg season and the 36 goals in 9 games. Especially the beautiful ass-kicking we gave to the Flamers 6-0 @ the home-opener, then dousing them again last night.

The new look, potent offence, faster, bigger, tougher, Canucks are going to shove all the low-ball predictions up the writers arses. :applaud:

I love how so many have written us off, such boneheads, we were desimated with injuries last year, if we had our D all healthy we would have made the playoffs. Now we're even better. I've been so pumped for the season to start, this is awesome. :D

I just hope Bieksa isn't friggin hurt bad already, and we don't start that injury shight all over again, I'll loooose it!!:zombie:

Yup, like I said vanquad, you're gonna regret not renewing your tic's, I still can't believe you did that, your gonna be kicking yourself for years, cause you'll never get them back now.

"Go Canucks Go"

[Van Quad]

Yup, like I said vanquad, you're gonna regret not renewing your tic's, I still can't believe you did that, your gonna be kicking yourself for years, cause you'll never get them back now.

"Go Canucks Go"


I must admit, they looked impressive. But we're talking about the Flamers. Sutter is building an NHL team for the 1990s. Even Philadelphia realised they were going down the wrong path.

By Christmas we'll know what kind of Canucks we have. I'm predicting more of the same for 30 years. :mega:

[Shaun]

Well that high ride sure crashed and burned quick hey! :p Hope it was thoroughly enjoyed, it'll be the last ride for a loooooooong time..:p :D "

BLAH BLAH BLAH! The way i see it,your 2-0...were 1-1! After St Louis this morning im bankin on 2-1 and your 2-1 will be next! Oh no,i wont wait till after the game to shoot MY mouth off :D

I'll be Burnaby in March....will hook up!

[Shaun]

If Hollweg isnt put on waivers tommorow i'll be pissed....PISSED!

[graybeard]

Ouch! How 'bout them Caps! Can score with anyone, but damn, what is with that idiot Feebledore! Sheeesh........The clown ought to at least bend his ass and pretend he can stop a shot. Whoever it was that called him out last summer sure knew what a chump he is. We need to dig up a goalie like now, or it will be a long winter......

[graybeard]

By the way...only 10 shots by the Canucks last night???? what the hell, ya'll bring your knee hockey sticks????

ROFL...Feebledore, haven't heard that one. That was a disgusting game, no one showed up to play, got to give Caps credit though they took full advantage, I feel bad for fans that paid good money to witness that. I was majorly choked, it was PPV, $16 I'll never get back, nor the time I wasted watching it.

I kinda worried about it before hand because of the 2 huge games with the Flamers. It's a good thing in a way though, after winning all the previous games, it's a kick in the arse, you have to show up every night. You don't win on track record alone. Only Sanford showed up last night...pretty bad. Not even Capt. Lui.:mad:

Anywho, I was actually hoping to see Ovie score one or two spectacular goals, but he was held off, that's why I splurged and got PPV...oh well. You get to see him every game, you're lucky greyb, enjoy.....

[Shaun]

10 SHOTS!!! 6-1!!!....10 SHOTS!!! Thats gotta be a record isnt it? lol

Canuckle heads 2-1! 4pts
Leafs....1-1-1! 3pts

Yeah..yeah..yeah, enough from the peanut gallery!!! Actually 8 shots is the record, they managed to pass it in the last minute..lol...idjits..AV bag skated them this morning I'm sure......

PS: Nucks 2-1 4pts
Laufs 1-1 2pts (loser pts don't count) :p

[monkeygirl]

Yessss..........3rd jersey leaked, vintage rink & stick, & Johnny Canuck on shoulders. Was hoping for Johnny on front but hey, I love it, now I need a new frikin jersey :zombie: it's awesome.........................:applaud:

I absolutely love these jersey's! I agree though, Johnny Canuck on the front would of been fantastic.

The Caps looked great Monday...all around terrible game by the nucks...highlight was definitley Sanford, which doesn't say much. Wish Hordichuck was out for a tilt....we could of used the momentum and a good pick me up.

I was kind of skeptical of Rypien cracking the 4th line over Brown (I am a huge Brown fan). But after those 2 beauty goals and him turning Brandon Prust's head into a punching bag, I have to say I am pretty impressed. That kid switches hands in a scrap perfectly....I love how he always starts with the left jab. Pyatt is looking like dead weight to me..hoping he is packaged in a trade. Would love to see Ouellette on that 2nd line but I am not sure if he has to clear re-entry waivers...

[wheelz1989]

OILERS all the way!

[NorthQuad]

Yes! Another Oil fan! Wooooooo!

Third Oilers Jersey...

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y232/NorthQuad/OilersThirdJersey.jpg

[Van Quad]

The hilarious thing about the Oilers jersey is that everyone I talked to thought that was the Oilers jersey.

[Shaun]

So did i..lol

[NorthQuad]

Isn't that the point? So people recognize it? Otherwise, Cunucks shouldn't even bother. What's the difference with their new jersey?
