Cantousent Posted August 9, 2005 Author Posted August 9, 2005 But the bottom line is that this Moore fellow still has the use of his limbs. That's good to hear. Anyhow, I didn't mean to boggart the thread. I was just curious.

alanschu Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 Here's hoping for career years from Ryan Smyth, Chris Pronger, Mike Peca, Radek Dvorak, Marty Reasoner, Raffi Torres, Alexei Semenov, Jason Smith, Igor Ulanov, Steve Staios, Marc-Andre Bergeron, Shawn Horcoff, and Ales Hemsky. It's not too much to ask! Oh what they hey throw big Georges in there too!
alanschu Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Sean Burke is off to Tampa Bay! And Comcast has signed the $100 million cable deal with the NHL.
Kor Qel Droma Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 And don't forget a career year for Fernando Pisani!! I tihnk tampa just sealed their own fate. Sean Burke is way too injury prone to carry a team to the cup. Maybe the tandem with John Grahame will pay off, but neither of them is really a solid number one. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
alanschu Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 They're a talented team still. But good goaltending always seems so important doesn't it.... What teams have won without a stellar goaltender? And how could I forget Fernando????
Kor Qel Droma Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 there was something in the air that night, it felt so right, Fernando Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
alanschu Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 I don't know if he would enjoy you singing ABBA about him though
Kor Qel Droma Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Hey, I've been there, done that and (takes Ed McMahon voice) you are correct, sir! Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
alanschu Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Having said that, I'm not sure if you've been in the Edmonton Area (you live in Saskatchewan don't you? Bah I can't remember), but the place is abuzz with hockey excitement. I'm all geeked up, and am curious how everything is going to pan out. It's one of the rare times I can't clearly pick the obvious favourites in the conferences
Kor Qel Droma Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 No Alanschu, I'm not residing in Sask. I am a born and bred Albertan. Actually I reside in the town that thinks its a city, Grande Prairie. I'm up north from you. And the hockey buzz is all over the province, man! Today at work my friend and I spent time planning out our hockey pool, and then tried to make playoff predictions. You're right though, this is one season where you can't say that team X is guaranteed a playoff spot, unlike the past few years. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
GhostofAnakin Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 What teams have won without a stellar goaltender? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Detroit, Chris Osgood, circa 1998. :ph34r: "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
alanschu Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 I don't know if you ever listen to The Bear (or if you can even get it in Grand Prairie), but I agree with Yukon Jack when he said that Battle of Alberta has been resurrected pretty much overnight.
Kor Qel Droma Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Unfortunately we only have two radio stations in our town. Country and top 40 crap. Eight matches between the two teams this season. Plus eight against the Canucks. It's going to be a really heated three way rivalry this year. Add the Avs to the list, and I can see the Northwest division being the most competitive out of them all. Don't forget, there was a lot of bad blood when the 'Nucks would come to town and spank our team, so I'm sure the Oil are looking for payback. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
alanschu Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 I remember hearing Pronger say that his three least favourite teams were Calgary, Vancouver, and Colorado Now he's probably just saying that, but it made me giggle (yes...giggle...not laugh...but I actually went "heheheheheh" with giddiness)
Kor Qel Droma Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 I can't wait for Big Bert to try to camp out in front of our net. First, Pronger is gonna whack his ankles with his stick. Then Bert will turn around and shove him. After that Bertuzzi will still be trying to screen the goalie, except Pronger will be there cross checking him in the back. Oh the goodness... Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Kor Qel Droma Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 And the same goes for Iginla. Booyakasha!! Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
alanschu Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Except because Bert will look at Pronger the wrong way, he'll get punished via his probation
Kor Qel Droma Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Touche! On that note, I'm outta here for the night. Hopefully Ryan Smyth will be signed tommorow... Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Oerwinde Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Gah, I need to see it before I can comment!!>!?#$1111 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> http://photos.yafro.com/pics1/i/e/5/8/6/5/...d8a910_full.gif Its unfortunately open to interpretation. Some people think he's pushing him down, others, myself included, think he was falling and Bertuzzi just fell with him. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
alanschu Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Hmmm, I agree that it looks like a fall. It's tough to see in an animated gif unfortunately.
EnderAndrew Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 He could fall naturally from throwing himself into the hit. But his right arm comes up as he is falling, smashing Moore's head into the ice. Watch the arm.
alanschu Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 It's hard to see in the animated gif. Because of it's lower frame rate, I can't deduce if he's just bracing himself for the fall or whatnot.
Deraldin Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 He could fall naturally from throwing himself into the hit. But his right arm comes up as he is falling, smashing Moore's head into the ice. Watch the arm. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I saw the left arm come up the back, however it only made it as far as the shoulder blades. The right arm was mostly obscured by Moore's head.
Kor Qel Droma Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Can't we just let the Bertuzzi thing go? Today Pittsburgh made a dramatic improvement in goal by trading a draft pick to Chicago for J. Thibault. Pittsburgh just got a whole lot better. People may pan Thibault for not putting up great numbers with the 'hawks, but their defensive system really leaves a lot to be desired. And they played him until he was ready to drop. Now having MA Fleury to spell him will make them both better goaltenders. Philly versus the Pens in the east. Thats my prediction. Hopefully we can have another 5 hour game from them in the playoffs like we did a few years ago. And Alanschu, I think the Sun reporters must have been lurking around here last night. Front page of sports asks 'How much for Ryan Smyth?' Me myself, I say give him three mil a year for three years, and not a penny more. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
