Gorth Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Start of old thread End of old thread Well, I know the basics of Icehockey.

Kor Qel Droma Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 It's good to see the pesky Islanders version of Jason Blake again. Too bad he had to show up against the Oilers last night. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
alanschu Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Didn't like the stick to the face of our goalie though.
Kor Qel Droma Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) I'm amazed there was no high sticking call on that one myself. I wonder if the Oilers benched some of their underperforming veterans, would the results be the same? edit:also, I hope they kept your announcing chair warm, Barry Melrose!

alanschu Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Yeah the team needs a bit of a shakeup. I support Moreau on the first line (who actually has played pretty well there IMO) to send a message to the other players that their lackluster play is not going to cut it.
Hurlshort Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 I'm shocked that Melrose was fired 16 games into the season. The Lightning have major issues, and I think Melrose can't be blamed for most of them. Don't get me wrong, Melrose seemed to be ill prepared to coach, but they could at least go half a season. The fact is the Lightning will probably miss the playoffs no matter who the coach is, they have serious management issues. There record isn't even horrid. They were dead last in the standings this year, what was the expectation?
Kor Qel Droma Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Tampa used to be a real favorite of mine. Especially when they trumped the Flamers in the SCF just ( what seems like) a few years ago. You don't want to blame the old 'top four' from the team, but you have to wonder if they didn't figure this was going to happen when they all signed their ginormous contracts a few years back. That being said, I'd love Vincent Lecavalier on the Oilers, or Martin St.Louis. Hell, I'd be tickled if they signed Brad Richards as well. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

I remember watching game seven of that series and being really disappointed when Calgary lost.
Kor Qel Droma Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Why? Calgary sucks? Anyoo< I'd like to give mad props to players feeding my fortieth and fiftyfifth ranked hockey pool teams. Misters Malkin, Ovechkin, Ribiero, and even you too, Marc Savard! Honorable mentions go to Pavel Demitra, who nearly doubled his point production tonight... And my first thought when I saw this headline was this. Now if the Oilers can hold on to their one goal lead going into the third tonight, I'll sleep happy. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Deraldin Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Now if the Oilers can hold on to their one goal lead going into the third tonight, I'll sleep happy. Nope. Shootout loss.
Kor Qel Droma Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Trust me, Deraldin, I saw it:( edit: ****ing ****burgers and their ****ing dogs! Ten ****ing seconds! Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Deraldin Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Trust me, Deraldin, I saw it:( edit: ****ing ****burgers and their ****ing dogs! Ten ****ing seconds! When I saw Horcoff miss that empty net, somehow I knew they were going to lose the game...
Kor Qel Droma Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Sadly, I still had hope at that point. When the second penalty was called to make it six on three I think I died a little on the inside. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
alanschu Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Yeah that was a nice play/crap luck catching that puck off the defenseman's skate Nice tip by Tucker to tie the game, but boo-urns on letting Svatos deke 3 guys out to draw the second penalty.
Kor Qel Droma Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 I'm kinda happy I'm working tonight and didn't have to watch the Oilers lose. Again. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
mkreku Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 I'm kind of happy I live in Sweden, in a completely different time zone, so I slept through the Leafs losing a one-goal game. Again. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Kor Qel Droma Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Alright! Edmonton got a big win tonight, despite being doubled in shots! Oldie the goalie held up well, according to the shot clock. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
mkreku Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Gee, well done, Leafs, dropping two goals in the last period before losing in over-time. Now that's how you blow a play-off spot! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
mr insomniac Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 Leafs Trade Coliaccovo and Steen for Stempniak Don't follow the western conference much, and St. Louis even less, but more deadweight cut off the Leafs roster can't be a bad thing, and this may get Frogren some ice time too. I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge.
Hurlshort Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 I thought Steen was a decent young player? Stempniak sure doesn't seem like an upgrade, and throw in the fact the Leafs sent a d-man and you've got a fairly odd trade. Ah well, I think Stempniak is a grittier player, which might mesh with Ron Wilson's system better.

Ah well, I think Stempniak is a grittier player, which might mesh with Ron Wilson's system better. Steen is a solid two-way player who's never quite blossomed as an offensive forward. I personally never liked Colaiacovo much and the Leafs actually have decent depth in their defence ranks anyhow. I think this was a pretty good move.. not that I've ever noticed Stempniak in any game but judging from what I've read about him. Now bring back Sundin and we're good to go! I hope.

Kor Qel Droma Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) I just read that the Sharks have offered a tryout contract to Claude Lemieux. You'd think middle age would have mellowed that old bastard. If he does make the team, he'll teach Sean Avery a thing or two about being an agitator. edit: I lol'd at this Edited November 25, 2008 by Kor Qel Droma Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

Volourn Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 "If he does make the team, he'll teach Sean Avery a thing or two about being an agitator." I think that Martin Brodeur (Lemiuex's old running buddy) would say that Avery doesn't need to be tought on how to be agitator. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
