3 x 10 PM games this week

Yay western conference road trips

 

Never heard of it

 

Ok he's nuts about Crosby but Girioux should abosofawkinlutely be there. Marleau but no Girioux? I think Brian Burke May have been on the team Canada committee spouting his nonsense.

Girioux is the leagues hottest player since Dec 1.

 

^^ I guess that explains why hapless Dustin Brown ended up on Team USA.

 

One 10pm start two 10:30 pm starts this week.

 

Tell it to my heart.
Tell me I'm the only one.
Is it really douchey or just a game...



Crikey, back from vacation to a minus -15 degree commute and easily double that with windchill. Thought hell had frozen over, yummy cakes was suddenly my best friend and domcha was planning a parade. Whew, it wasn't a nightmare, just jet lag.

So what else did I miss?

 

There was a lot of Canadian bashing of the Finnish hockey program.

 

I agree Giroux should have been on the team, but CG over Crosby? The projected captain of Team Domcha, and the one who scored the golden goal? Get real, just shows how dumb Flyers fans are

 

I enjoy seeing the West teams, just hate the late starts on a work night, since I don't miss a game, and since you rag on our division so much, the Pens are 8-2 against the west

 

9-2 now son.

 

no james neal?? #3 overall canadian goal scorer the last 3 seasons.

 

Thank you for beating the Cansucks. Any time you beat the Cansucks, you are doing the NHL a favor.

 

torts probably yelling up a storm.

 

Blowing a 2-goal lead that late into the game? Yup.

 

we blew a 2 goal lead too, but came back to tie, haha...

 

 

His face after the first and second goal were priceless

 

No. Contrary to popular belief in Pittsburgh. Not every Pengoon deserves to be on a Olympic roster. I wouldn't have had Kunitz on there either.


And Yummy, no Seabrook? WTF, Is his skating weak or something?

 

Clearly Rick Nash is more important than the #3 canadian goal scorer in the league

And Kunitz definitely belongs on there

 

Not sure. He's arguably better than Pickles or Hamhuis. But, I think it has alot to do with Babs' need for 4 lefties and 4 righties.

Seabrook would've made sense paired with Keith since they go so well together.

I attribute most of the weird decisions on this team to Kevin Lowe. He has assembled the Oilers team...and we know how successful he is at that.

 

Kunitz is a wild-card. If he was not the next Rob Brown and playing with one of the best scorers, would he have the success that he does?

But, you can't discount that either and so, I assume he'll be next to Sid in the Olympics.



Word on the street is that Nash is also a close buddy to Sid. Combine that with Nash's experience and decent stats in International competition (his Jackets were never in the playoffs, so he had lotsa practice! ), he got the inside track.

 

I'm sure he cradles the balls quite well after playing for the Jackets and Rangers...

 

Once you knee a guy in the head, your chances of making the national team are slim and none.

 

Now it's clear why the Kings lost in the SO to the lowly North Stars:

Clearly caused by the KISS of death.

 

Guessing you were talking to Rounder not me, but I already said that this is why Neal didn't make it.

 

Fify

Chara broke a guys neck and was made captain of his national team. It te difference between an accident and being a douche.

 

Clearly it was intentional.
There was no need to fix the post.

 

Yeah, his follow through was clearly an accident

 

Hawks versus cabby's Rangers tonight.

Speaking of which, where is that guy lately?

 

More proof the NHL SUCKS at picking recording artists for their games:

 

WTFBBQ...?

 

No suspension right? Using pengoon logic that makes it an indisputable clean hit.

 

Was Justin Bieber busy or something?

 

Build a bear workshop

 

 

CNNSI has an article on the "fallout" on snubbed players: http://nhl.si.com/2014/01/08/top-lin...ns-more-links/

 

Other than KISS and the USC band, I have no idea who the other clowns are.

 

Me either

 

..bunch of whiners

 

I only know of five for fighting because their name is a hockey reference, I can't say I've ever heard their music.
