NHL 2008-09

They weren't booing Brodeur, but the home team.

Yeah I know...the contrast of the booing the Habs directly leading into a standing O for Marty was a bit surreal.

Kind of nice how the NHL marketing office finally remembered him after year after year in the league. Nice of them considering they instituted the "trapezoid" behind the net pretty much so Brodeur couldn't stickhandle out of the crease and score some goals.

I hate that trapezoid. Penalizing players because they're good...phail.

Leafs came back from a 3-0 deficit to beat Tampa in the shoot-out

While I enjoyed watching the game - especially from the 2nd period on, this seems to be the usual end of the season heroics which leads to nothing...

So there's this French goalie that's been getting a lot of press lately...Martin something...plays for New Jersey I think...anybody know about him? Is he any good?

Since when does Cristobal Huet play for New Jersey?

Ohhhhhh, you meant French-Canadian goalie Martin Brodeur. Gotcha.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

jeez you french people are touchy...

Canucks have won 10 in a row at home, now! The last three wins have been 4-2. :interesting:

I hope I'll be able to get tickets to one more game before the regular season ends. My usual contact hasn't been able to find me anything yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[BoMac]

I'm going to the Canucks-Oilers game on April 4, and then the following Saturday I'll be at the Penguins-Canadiens season closer at the Bell Centre.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

you lucky french bastard...

 

[Thora]

Damn you! Those will be awesome games.

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

I don't know why but I'm starting to lose interest in hockey even though it's coming to a close - I guess the Habs' rollercoaster of a season hasn't managed to sustained my interest.
I know, I know, I'm a typical French fan

What the fuck is going on with this end of season dump chalice de crisse esti tabarnak.

 

[DaveC]

You forgot "merde alors" and "criss".

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

French-Canadian swears will be needed after tonight's game.

 

[CTU2fan]

You forgot "merde alors" and "criss".

Suce definitely applied last night...

If any of you guys have NHL Network they ran a pretty cool show about Marty Brodeur yesterday, I think it was called "Winning Above All" and I imagine it will show again.

Please take 30 seconds to vote for GForce Hockey as the best gay team in 2008. Outsports - LGC Round 3: Federal Triangles Soccer Club vs. GForce Hockey

GForce is a collection of the best gay hockey players in the us, playing primarily against straight opponents, working to deconstruct negative stereotypes both on and off the ice.

Thank you!

 

[CTU2fan]

Voted for GForce...hockey players > soccer players

I thought Guy Carbonneau was the problem?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Apparently not, apparently they just suck

Neither one of us is in any position to make such claims, you know? At least his sucky team might actually be playing in 3 weeks.

I think if anyone is qualified to see a sucky team and declare it so it would definitely be us! Think about it beav, years of watching The Islanders and Leafs have made us experts of shite teams.

As far as points go, this one seems crazy mad valid, yo. Fo'realz, kid. Hi5!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

We could teach a college course in shitty NHL teams and how to spot them

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

NOOOO!!!

Stop wining you idiots!

 

[UberBeaver]

The Isles are on a great pace to finish dead last. 48.2% chance of the #1 pick, here we come!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

fuck, we're probably going to finish in 9th place or something

 

[UberBeaver]

6th is probably worse in some way cause then there is no chance @ #1. Not that the 6th pick is bad, but still. Even the 5th place team has some hope of #1.

I'm excited cause I'm bringing my daughter to her first Islanders game tonight. I'm curious to see what she does. My guess is that after saying "hockey" for 10 minutes, she'll want to leave.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

how old is she now?
