NHL 2008-09

Well, that was awesome, albeit fucking freezing. Very fortunate to have been able to attend.

Where were you seated? How was the view?

 

[No spoken words]

Where were you seated? How was the view?

Behind home plate, which more or less was center ice. In the 200 aisles, so down low, but back under the stands of the section above.

The view was fine, but you had an I-beam that needed to be looked around depending on where the action was.

One of the proposals for next year's Winter Classic is a Flyers-Penguins matchup at Penn State's Beaver Stadium. Which would be fucking awesome.

That would be cool!

The stadium in Hershey would be a cool option too for those two teams.

 

[DaveC]

I think next year should be Avs vs this year's Cup champs at Mile High

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

alright! good hustle! way to let Florida walk all over you!

 

[Thora]

Tonight will be Sundin's first night playing as a Canuck. Should be an interesting game to watch, that's for sure!

don't remind me Thora!!

DAMN YOU SUNDIN!!! I CURSE THEE!!!!

 

[Thora]

I'm not saying I'm happy with it... I'm just mentioning it, because it's hockey news. I was shocked when he signed with Vancouver - I was hoping he'd go with the Rangers or another team. I'll give him a chance, but I'm NOT a fan of the guy.

We could talk about Ruutu's suspension for chomping on Peters the other day...

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

I've made no secret of my for Sundin so I was hoping to catch tonight's game but it won't be broadcast here.
Do any of the websites broadcast live games?

He's got a lot of expectations to live up to, that's for darned sure.

ETA: NHL.COM is showing it

 

[DaveC]

I predict that by the end of the season this will be looked back on as a huge mistake for the Canucks. Sundin is old and was never all that great, compared to the rest of the Leafs though he sure looked like it.

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

I changed my avatar in honour of tonight's rout of the Leafs but you can't tell my hat is a Habs hat

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

well, that was painful to watch

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

so, uh yeah... how much longer is this season?

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

2-0 loss to Nashville...

NASHVILLE!


:hangsheadinshame:

 

[Thora]

Luongo is set to be back in net tonight for the Canucks vs. Phoenix. It will be great to have him back again!

 

[DaveC]

Halifax Wolverines vs. Summerside Wildcats.

YouTube - "THE BRAWL".....all of it!!!

What is going on in Vancouver Thora?
Sundin has 3 point in the last 4 games so I don't think he's the culprit...

A win against San Jose tonight would def help turn things around.

(We've been watching the Canucks ever since Mats signed up )

 

[MrPryck2U]

Ratfarts!

The Isles' Goalie, Rick DiPietro is officially out for the season. Poor Isles. Will things ever go their way again?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

wow, what happend to him now? How much was that contract again?

In other news the Leafs continue to suck

 

[MrPryck2U]

wow, what happend to him now? How much was that contract again?

His knee continues to give him problems, so the decided to just shut him done and let it heal properly.


65M for 15 years.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

brutal, it's been what? 3 or 4 years now?

Looks like you guys are going to have a good shot at the top pick in the draft if things continue the way they are...

I honestly have no clue. The Canucks tend to do this every few years - just massively flop. I'm used to it happening, so I'm not that upset. Sure, it would be nice to win, and for them to play better, but I don't know if they can turn things around in time this season.

There have been rumours around the city that there will be massive coaching changes once the season's over. I wouldn't be surprised if Vigneault got the axe.

Well, at least Milbury isn't around anymore to squander their pick. That guy sucked as the Isles' GM.

[UberBeaver]

They won! They won! A game!!!!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

When is the parade scheduled?

 

[CTU2fan]

Am I the only one who generally enjoys the Superskills competition better than the game?

 

[Thora]

Nope. I always watch both, but find the competition a hell of a lot more interesting.
