Hurlshort Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 Gaaaa!!! I listened to it on the radio. I went from utter exultation to an absolute emotional low in 4 minutes. It sounded like an awesome game though. I'm starting to doubt the Sharks will make it, and even if they do, I don't think they'll go far because they can't seem to hold on to the important leads. Ok, enough of my pity party
mkreku Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Don't complain until you become a Leaf fan! I'm not sure I can even count the number of times my team has lost this season. And we're facing Ottawa again tonight (although it's 0-0 at the time of writing *holds thumb*). Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
alanschu Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Don't take this the wrong way, but I laughed when I saw the Leafs in 11th place. I think that if the Leafs don't make the playoffs, the Oilers could crumble and miss and I'd still be happy.
Kor Qel Droma Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 I wonder if there will be any big trades before the March 9th deadline. The Oil are rumored to be interested in Curtis Joseph, but I can't really see the point of spending coin on an old goalie. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
alanschu Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Have you seen our goaltending???? At least we made it past 5 shots without a goal last game....with the goalie we put on waivers.... Considering it's probably not impossible to get Joseph for the equivalent of a bag of pucks, I'm all for it.
Kor Qel Droma Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Cujo let in 7 goals on 27 shots last night. I don't see getting him helping anybody too much. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
alanschu Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Meh, I think Joseph has been much more consistent this year than any of our three headed monster. He'd also have the benefit of playing behind one of the best shot blocking teams in the league. Though maybe he doesn't thrive in that situation.
Kor Qel Droma Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Chris Pronger is my favorite Oiler today. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
alanschu Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 (edited) I remember listening to people bitch about how he was underperforming and whatnot. He has really come on as of late....11 points in his last 11 games, now 13 in his last 12! I also loved all the people that complained about Horcoff being in the #1 spot. A PPG isn't too shabby at all. And Rem Murray's an Oiler again. Edited March 6, 2006 by alanschu
Kor Qel Droma Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 I'm just glad he didn't break his neck at the Olympics. And if you notice young Mr. Horcoff is currently in the top 25 in NHL scoring. :ph34r: Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
mkreku Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 I can't understand how Pronger can change from being a star in the NHL to a complete hog on big ice..? It's not that much of a difference. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
alanschu Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 I didn't see the games so I can't really comment People do go through slumps. I think Pronger looks slower than he actually is because he's so big though. Of course, maybe he actually was dogging it in the Olympics. A lot of people felt that Canada didn't play with much heart at all. He is also playing on a broken foot.
Volourn Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Rangers better win tonight to stop their HORRIBLE losing streak! FINALLY, they'll do something smart, and play THE BEST GOALIE IN HOCKEY (possibly barring the now Olympic cripped Hasek)! That is all. P.S. The Kanandian (or US) team didn't dog it at the Olympics. They simply weren't the best teams this years. People should just brealize that upwards of 6 countries are legimiate gold medal contenders in hockey. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
mkreku Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 When Russia beat Canada in the Olympics, Malkin and Ovechkin were skating circles around Pronger. Literally. I'm quite used to watching big players (Antropov, Sundin, Lindros, Allison) so I know that big players appear to be moving slower than the small guys even when they're going the same speed, but Pronger really was slow.

alanschu Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 (edited) Perhaps Malkin and Ovechkin are really fast It does seem wierd that he'd go from being a premier defensemen to getting skated circles around though. Maybe it was all just part of the chemistry (or lack thereof) and it made him hesitant or something :\ Oh, and Allison IS slow Edited March 7, 2006 by alanschu
mkreku Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Oh, and Allison IS slow Er.. yeah. Bad example ) Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Kor Qel Droma Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Pronger plays more of a positional defense than skating around like a monkey. That's what MAB is for , Alan. " That being said, he isn't the fastest or best skater in the world, so I wasn't completely suprised when opposing players were making him look bad during the Olympics. How much wider is Olympic ice than the NHL sheets? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Volourn Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Hurlshort Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Malkin and Ovechkin also have a lot more practice on the big ice, whereas Pronger had to adjust quickly. Not that I'm defending the goon
Laozi Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 (edited) Man, Dallas really put it to the Blackhawks last night, like a gay bat. They womped then so bad I think it broke the scoreboard on my homepage. Edited March 7, 2006 by Laozi People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
Kor Qel Droma Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 The poor Hawks. Even their GM said on the record that he made a mistake with the free agents he signed before the season started. But then again they were lit up by Dallas, who have quietly become one of the hottest teams in the west right now. PS: Hi Jags!!! Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
mkreku Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 There are heavy trade rumours swirling around Bryan McCabe at the moment. Oh yeah, it would be a clever move to trade away the only light in the (seemingly) eternal darkness that is the Toronto Maple Leafs defence.. I really hope these rumours are untrue. Of course, they're also talking about trading Sundin for Datsyuk.. That would be something. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Hurlshort Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 I think everyone is afraid to make a trade. We are only a few days from the deadline.
alanschu Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 I think fireworks will go off on the day of the deadline.
