I'm pretty sure when the NHL used to do that format it was pretty even. I think it'd be more intense because for example, if the Pens won the cup and played you'd have guys like Asham and Rupp who only really know how to play gritty and it'd kinda more a point of pride to have your regular team beat an all star team.

When that was the format there were 6 teams

Way more parity in the league now

I love how Crosby is so outspoken on headshots now and not after his cunt of a teammate leveled Savard.
The hit at the time was legal, it was cheap and dirty but legal, the hit on Crosby wasn't oh an btw no one is talking about the hit on Crosby but the Penguins and Crosby when Cooke hit Savard everyone spoke out against it. It's funny reading an old Don Cherry speach where he freaks out about Cooke's hit and says what's the talk gonna be like if it happens to Crosby. Well guess what it happened to Crosby and no one gives a shit because the NHL is bush league.

Well I don't know if its a case of him easily getting injured as it was just a bad shot. Everyone gets one once in a while. It was just shitty that it was his first fight. Tough guys get one punched too.

But yeah he's prob not happy about it

I believe Dipetro is known for getting injured quite often which sucks because he has such a crazy contract. I mean he injured himself during the skills competition in 2008.

Meh, who cares.

All I care about tonight is Vancouver beating the Blackhawks.

EDIT:
If you go to Dipetros wikipedia page it's already been added that he went down from one punch from Johnson punch and that he's injured for 4 to 6 weeks.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On nights like tonight, I just dont get the Sabres.

Granted Toronto isnt great. But the way they just dominated the game, they are so much better than 10th. Miller missed alot of time, and so really they are playing catchup. But I just dont get them.

They basically have a 4th line spot that has been a rotation of AHL guys. Mark Macari, Luke Adam, Paul Byron, Marc Andre Gragnani. They just rotate them all and it seems like a waste.

The fact that their Captain is a Healthy Scratch in more than half their games is another one I love.

I cant remember another team that just dropped their captain but kept the C on him like that.

And its not like the Sabres C is a complete waste of shit. They have a real history of Captains.

Bruins shut down Savard for what could be the rest of the season and playoffs due to his last concussion. They don't even want to try to bring him back until they can be sure he won't get a concussion for the rest of the season.

Feel sad for him since he tries very hard to come back each time and ends up with the worst luck out of anyone on the team and maybe in all of the NHL.

Jakob Synn
02-06-2011, 07:27 PM
Peter Forsberg signs with the Avs

:cool:

The contract isn't final yet though it will probably be like how the Canucks signed Mats Sundin for the remainder of the season.

So in conclusion it won't have much impact on the Avs winning the cup.

As much as I love to see anyone beat Pittsburgh I hate the fact it's on NBC. The commentators on NBC are horrible. I understand they are only trying to get hockey to fit in the States but they are just horrible. They need to hire a Canadian broadcast veteren to make it worth while for Canadians to watch an American broadcast of a Canadian game.

PS.
That was a nice goal. Backhand goals are sweet because perfecting them is something great.

Crazy 2nd period between Bruins and Canadiens.

1 massive fight managed to fill up both penalty boxes and :rofl: Thomas-Price fight ends with neither really wanting to beat each other up and Thomas falling when he tried to throw a punch.

5-3 Bruins lead with 6 goals scored so far in 2nd.

11 guys total in the penalty box (6 on Boston, 5 on Montreal).

Simple answer is ever since ESPN lost out on the NHL rights for games, they mostly stopped caring about NHL until maybe 1-2 years ago.

It used to be for a long while, all they did for NHL was a weekly recap of 15 minutes on Sportscenter or ESPN News along with quick daily recap of scores.

The ironic thing is when they lost NHL rights, they bought Arena Football rights for games and when AFL collapsed, they bought La Liga and EPL soccer rights. During the whole time, they kept buying more smaller college conferences rights which were cheap and time fillers for daily games.

Nah they're showing the rest of it just the basketball during breaks. I still think they should just stick with the hockey until its finished and not switch between sports. They've also made a fuck up by saying the CBB game is live nhl. lol.

What a crazy end, 4 fights in the last minute!

The one thing that will make ESPN care about hockey again is if the NFL does have a lockout.

Remember the ESPN channel is different over here though. They do show alot of hockey atleast which is one of the main reasons i've got it. Just didn't realise what they were doing at first, but they have missed the whole of an overtime/possibly a shoot out before so i was about to get very annoyed then!

Can't say we miss Grabovski. He was being a constant bitch here, getting drunk in bars with Higgins and the Kostitsyns, and when he would get demoted, he would throw a fit in the papers. He even refused to get on the plane one time as some form of strike or something. I don't know. Fuck Grabovski, really, no matter how good he is.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)—Peter Forsberg (http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/players/333/)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/players/333/news) is expected to play in his first NHL game since 2007-08 when the Colorado Avalanche (http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/teams/col/) play at the Columbus Blue Jackets (http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/teams/cob/) on Friday night.
The team confirmed the Swedish star, a former Hart Trophy winner as league MVP, was able to clear up some lingering immigration paperwork. He is expected to play on the same line with center Matt Duchene (http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/players/4683/)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/players/4683/news) and right wing Milan Hejduk (http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/players/1762/)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/players/1762/news) (MEE’-lahn HAY’-dook).

I think Duchene would benefit from playing on the Wing. Less defensive responsibilities, and with a Centre like Forsberg, could see a lot of good opportunities to put the biscuit in the basket.

The TV announcers definitely aren't the greatest - that's part of the reason I always listen to the radio feed. There's a reason Mike Lange is in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Bullshit it was all dirty, charging and elbowing and injuring a guy into the glass then punching him while he's going down, blindsde punching a guy, fighting one guy then charging across the ice to fight a goalie, total bush league. The Islanders called up at least one goon for this game, it was obvious the organization instructed their players to play like this, it's awful hockey.

Are you serious the Pens other than Godard did nothing suspendable in this game fuck off seriously (who do you want suspended, Talbot for getting blindside Punched? Johnson for having a player fight one guy and then charge half way across the ice to fight him?, Tangradi for getting charged, eblowed and then punched repeatedly in the face as he was going down, btw you want to talk about bad Announcer's listen to the Islanders, they called the punch on Talbot as justifiable emotion and accuse Tangradi of turtling after getting his head smashed in and having no chance to even try to fight back, the Tangradi incident is one of the most disgusting things I've seen in years) . Pens only had one player suspended because the Pens only had one player who did anything suspendable (and he got the most games for it too)

BTW ignore the Pens announcers they don't know shit.

The response to this by the NHL vis a vis the Isles is extremely light. Islanders should absolutely be ashamed of themselves and I'm going to say the preemptively don't anyone mention Matt Cooke, Cooke is yes a dirty total fucker but he wasn't even playing, this was an organizational plan to play absolutely stupid dirty hockey, the suspensions should have been at least double.

<font color=goldenrod>Never said more Pens should be suspended - just that Mario should shut the fuck up and stop whining. Usually both teams get fined in situations like this so he's lucky the Pens didn't get any sort of monetary penalty. Even if they did it it wouldn't have been as much as the Isles', nor should it have been.

Anyway, I thought the suspensions were fine. Gillies' hit on Tangradi was comparable to Wisniewski's on Seabrook which received an 8 game suspension. Martin's was an attempted cheap shot, and given that the league has consistently (lol) based suspensions on whether the player was injured or not, 4 games isn't a terribly low amount. A lot of Pens' fans have whined about Haley, which I don't understand since he did nothing wrong other than making Letang look like an AHL defensemen. What Godard did was an automatic 10 so no need for further discussion there.

And seeing as how the league overturned both Bylsma's automatic one game suspension and his $10,000 fine, Lemieux really doesn't have a leg to stand on.

All of that is even ignoring the obvious hypocrisy of Lemieux questioning the integrity of the league and overall quality of play when he is the one signing the paychecks of cheap shot artist extraordinaire Matt Cooke.</font>

There was no fines on the Pens side because they were literally defending themselves the whole game. The Islanders sent out players with an intention to kill, simple as that. The hit on Tangradi incident is one of the worst dirtiest things I've seen and something Matt Cooke has never done, not once. The Martin blidnside was that close to being Bertuzziesque, it's just lucky Talbot saw him in time, also something Matt Cooke has never done. COkke plays on the edge and crosses that line into dirty way more then I like but he's never premeditatedly gone after people the way the Islanders did that night.

Haley fought a guy and should have been taken off the ice, instead he basically went from one end of the rink to the other to go after Johnson. Once you finish up a fight you are supposed to go straight to the box instead he went out of his way to go after Johnson, he instigated the fight

For what its worth, it's being reported around town that Pens management is "not exactly thrilled" with the way Cooke plays - especially with the health issues Crosby is having - but they have no intention at this time to trade/cut him. If he's on your team you don't have to play against him.

<font color=goldenrod>Thinking about fights - I've been to many-a-minor league game where the fights seem outright staged. 40 year old skateboarder Mike Vallely suited up for the Danbury Whalers' inaugural game. He finally took the ice to start the 3rd period - was casually talking with the player next to him, and as soon as the puck was dropped they dropped the gloves and fought. So blatantly fixed. Mikey then proceeded to land on the ice awkwardly and broke his arm, ending his season.</font> :o

He was attacked 3 times in that game, 3 fucking times Martin, Konopka and then Hale

The Martin thing was close, Talbot saw it coming at the very last second and was able to brase of impact so to speak, plus 5 guys didn't pile on him breaking his neck.

Crosby stil complains, but alot less. Like I said above, its alot different from when Crosby dives then when Colton Orr dives.

Wait now you're gonna tell me Cooke elbowed Savard? LOL come on the reason he didn't get suspended is because it was a legal hit at the time there was no elbowing, that's hwy they had to create a new rule to stop it.

And lol as if you're justifying the Steckel hit Crosby didn't have the puck you're telling me he just happened not not notice Crosby in a vulnerable position right sure.

The cooke hit, Cooke was lining Savard up. He was intending to hit him. Perhaps it was a mistake, perhaps not. But Cooke doesnt have a clean record of clean play, does he.

Steckel kinda does and again, it looks like Crosby got in the way as Steckel was skating away and he ran into him but it wasnt an intended check.

He's been trying to come back to playing hockey multiple times since the post-lockout but he either gets hurt (ex. groin injury) or his foot starts to get really bad pains and can't continue to skate.

The article says the foot has been giving him problems since 2003 but also manages to get better after some time off the ice which makes him think he's healed every time he wants to return to the ice.

If I was burke, I would have went with 2nd, 4th and 7th.

As Phillys second and fourth are only a few slots apart from 1st and 3rd. The 7th may be a throwaway, but it could turn into a decent player like Hornqvist.

Bruins start their 6 game road trip (5 in Canada) with 2 wins but the amazing part is how the defense and Rask is playing great when the week before Bruins lost 3 in a row while giving up a ton of goals (regular and PP).

The trade involving Wheeler has been in the making for maybe a year or two since the Bruins wanted to trade him last year but no good offers.

Stuart unfortunately barely played much this year due to injury and then had the misfortune of his replacement and rookies playing soo well that he lost his spot. Bruins had no choice but to trade him while he still had some value.

:rofl: no way the Bruins would do that trade although they've done questionable and dumb trades in the past.

I think Sequin is averaging a point (either as a goal or an assist) once every 2-3 games he plays which is great compared to them thinking his first year would be minimal NHL play but pure development.

Bruins still have Toronto's 1st round pick (potential 5-10 range) since all they gave up was their own 1st round pick (potential 23-30 range) in the last trade.

One good year warrants a high price? Christ talk to Phoenix. They have Aucoin, Yandle, Jovocop, Ekman-Larssen and Im sure they could trade one of them.

Seguin has 10 goals and 11 assists in 55 games.

22/55 = 0.4

Which means...a goal or assist...every 2 or 3 games...

Thats been the biggest shock to me. I've always thought he was under used with the Pens. He is way better than a 3rd line center/PK'er...and all he needed was the chance to show his true worth. He's had that chance, and hasn't really done much with it.

I wish they Pens would shop him, the Hockey Media is so in love with that dude that I figure some GM would be stupid enough to buy the hype and pay big.

I'd prefer the Pens shop Malkin...they'd get a better return. Jordan is more of a Jere Lehetin type player, cant really compare him to Eric Staal. He'd fit in on the 2nd line, can kill opposing teams PPs. He's not a #1 guy, or #1 center...maybe he would be on the Leafs or whatever other bottom feeders, but on a contending team he will due on the 2nd line, and is perfect for the 3rd line. Hardly "fucking worthless"

Nah fuck that any Malkin trade is a loss cause you're giving up the best player. Pens had best PK without Staal in the lineup and like I said he has an unearned reputation of being a good player, so I think you could get a team to give a decent return.
