The Phil Kessel game

Fibby's boys came up with this one. They decided to take a pic of Kessel in street clothes and ask people what he does for a living. This is the pic they use...




Some of the answers...

-Something to do with video game programming
-Kills people
-Euthanizes pets
-Serial Killer
-Something not good
-Bad stand up comedian or former child actor
-Bad things probably
-Tests new cereals for general mills
-Axe murderer

It was seriously terrifying to watch, the puck hit him between the #3 and #4 vertebrae. Having disk/nerve issues, I can totally relate, and am glad that he got so lucky, that was very scary

They showed it during the b's game but yeah any time a hockey player screams for help while lying on the ice it's scary.

Having said that, the only place he could possibly seek a new challenge to lift the impossible would be Toronto. Too many cooks in that kitchen though, even with the inside scoop that he is chafing at not having enough say in personnel decisions.

BTW, after a season in the Hotlantic, I've seen enough of Kadri to agree with Crosby's assessment of him: "what a f*cking joke."

It's only their 5th game...but, I think tonight's tilt is already must-win for the Oilers.

As the jerseys continue to rain down in Toronto and Edmonton, perhaps we can bridge the respect gap between disgruntled players and fans with a quick etiquette lesson:

DON’T TOSS YOUR JERSEY ON THE ICE IF it’s the second game of the season and your team has made significant changes to its front office since last season, starting at the top. They probably deserve a little more time to remake the roster in their image.

TOSS YOUR JERSEY ON THE ICE IF it’s the second game of the season and you’re an Edmonton Oilers fan.

DON’T TOSS YOUR JERSEY ON THE ICE IF you’ve carefully chosen the name on the back for its meaning to you, as a person or a player.

TOSS YOUR JERSEY ON THE ICE IF you’re probably going to throw that David Clarkson sweater you got two summers ago into a bonfire anyway.

DON’T TOSS YOUR JERSEY ON THE ICE IF you believe the only time a fan should toss anything on the ice is to celebrate a hat trick.

TOSS YOUR JERSEY ON THE ICE IF you are deciding between throwing that beer at the players or your sweater, knowing that a brew at the ACC actually costs more than your Made In China knockoff you brought from a guy with a shopping cart on Bloor.

DON’T TOSS YOUR JERSEY ON THE ICE IF you take the advice of moralizing pundit Cathal Kelly and instead give it to a young fan that doesn’t have a Leafs jersey.

TOSS YOUR JERSEY ON THE ICE IF you correctly recognize this as child abuse.

I think it was a neat message the first time...now? Just stupid. Especially up in Canada where jerseys can cost close to $300...

Sure, toss $300 into the garbage. Oh wait...you also anted up for $300 for those seats. Nice way to kiss $600 (not including the beer you consumed at the game for $10 per cup or whatever) in a couple of hours.

Slava Voynov suspended indefinitely

Rut row Roogy...

Here’s your pro-action: The NHL announced on Monday morning that Los Angeles Kings defenseman Slava Voynov has been arrested on charges of domestic violence, and has been suspended indefinitely pending a League investigation.

Voynov was reportedly arrested on Monday morning on domestic violence charges – the NHL broke the news before any outlet in Los Angeles or TMZ did. From the League:

The suspension was imposed under Section 18-A.5 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, which provides that, during the pendency of a criminal investigation, “The League may suspend the Player pending the League’s formal review and disposition of the matter where the failure to suspend the Player during this period would create a substantial risk of material harm to the legitimate interests and/or reputation of the League.”

Voynov, who will continue to be paid during the pendency of the investigation, was arrested for California Penal Code section 273.5, Domestic Violence.

You do realize that not all Jersey's are official NHL jerseys that cost $300 don't you?

So sick of hearing this. This isn't year 2 of the Leafs sucking and disappointing their fans.

ITS YEAR 48!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And this is I believe the 4th all new management team in place in the last 15 years. Its not as if they just got a new prez and GM after having the same one for the last 30 years.

Let the Jerseys rain down......

Look, there is no shame to getting force-fed the turf by a Peyton-led Broncos squad that many picked to contend.


It's another for your team to lose to the Dolphins...like mine!

They need a new coach with the right type of experience. I nominate cabbie, he can re-Build a Bears franchise better than anyone
