There is no greater shame than to lose to the junior varsity squad of the NHL...the Bruins likely will fire their entire staff and trade all their players for last night's embarrassment.

They are observing a moment of silence & dimmed the light @ MSG for San Bernardino victims prior to the Ranger game.

So Jagr begged fans not to vote him into the all star game. To paraphrase, 3 on 3 is a young mans game, he's 42, this game will kill him, he doesn't want to die yet.

How do fans respond? By voting him up to 2nd place behind John "the second coming of Gretzky" Scott.

The amusing thing is that 3 on 3 was used by coaches to punish players for bad practices...so, maybe it's bringing up some bad memories for Yeahgrr.

1. Yes, the Oilers beat Dallas last night.

2. Dallas outshot the Oilers 42-23. Like seriously, if it wasn't for Nillson (sp?) in net, there would have been some pronounced ass raping on the ice.

3. Jamie Benn sucks dick for bus fare and then walks home

That is all.

Won't happen, he's a coyote, Phil's a penguin. Different divisions, different teams but he can fight Kane in the semis and Phil in the finals.

so, one of my best friends (Andrew) just had this feature writeup in the Chicago Tribune regarding Artemi Panarin, thought you might like to see.

Well, look at the bright side
1) A win is 2 points and a win
2) Scored 6 goals

I don't think this is really indicative of what the Stars are or aren't. It's a long season. At least now in Dallas they're talking about "Playoff run depth" over "if we make the playoffs"

Even when they don't look good, Dallas is must see TV and they usually win.

Yeah, I am sad to see him go, but I've been saying for 2 years that he needs to retire. Not worth the risk to his health, and he's had too many health scares

According to what I watched tonight, the Bruins with Tuukka Rask in goal, went to Montreal and beat the habs.

So here's my problem... is this real life or am I trapped in dom's basement with Rob Ford and suffering from some sort of a crack induced hallucination?

I don't know...you said that all you care about is the reeling Phoenix Jetyotes and Me Idiot's son, Max.

Why do you care about the Bruins?

Even if they lose, I must admit their games are exciting as hell.

Kane may be a rapist, cab-beater, overall idiot/dumb@$$ outside of the hockey rink...but, man...no denying his talent. His streak continues.

He's near the nutbar mark Sid set...gotta wonder if he can sustain it for another couple of games to beat it?

When it comes to slipping one past the goalie, Kane doesn't take "no" for an answer.

Oilers play the Rangers tonight, with a big tribute to Glen Sather happening first.

Afterwards, the Rangers will undoubtedly pretzel the Oilers lines until they beg for mercy. Oilers may have won the last 4 games, but it was all because the goal tending. Now they're going up against Lundqvist.

NY has been hitting a wall lately. Hank singlehandedly made them look good in the beginning of the season. As with all AV coached teams, year 3 is where they start falling apart.
