Read my posts.

What came from Toronto? The words 'Crosby and 'retirement' or a story that a family member who were not his parents mentioned he should consider retirement. Read the story, listen to Mcowan's podcast. You guys are blowing this out of proportion. So now when something comes from Toronto it should be immediately discredited?

Good luck getting NHL news

I mean, look at all the lame entertainment-worship-the-stars shows from the US...

That's what they do. Who cares.

Yumcha

<--- Can't believe I'm agreeing with dom in a hockey thread.


dom, I promise to never side with you again.

dom

Mcowan rarely breaks stories, he's not a reporter. He typically just discusses the latest.

But funny enough, the last 2 'big' stories he broke IIRC were the NHL running the Coyotes (which was denied by Gary) and the bond deal falling apart in Phoenix a few weeks back. Both of which he was bang on with. I don't think he just throws stuff out there on a whim.

dom

I still never gave you a for last Saturday.

And it truly pains me to see you so happy these days. The Hawks and Bulls are flying, Bears made the NFC championship. I can only hope for a painful collapse in the first round for both.

Yumcha

Not my fault you were AWOL again. Where the eff have you been lately?

dom

Its called work, you should try it sometime.

Yumcha

I'm adept at teh mutitask.

Yumcha

Bears was a fluke.


With the Hawks and Bulls...you can never rule out teams that sport a Toews and a Rose respectively. Never.

And lookee...both are being talked as MVPs. Your day will be absolutely ruined if either or both win the awards.

All I'm doing is looking at what was reported by SI. I didn't hear anything about retirement whether is came from Crosby, his mom, his dad, a cousin he played tummy sticks with, the family dog, until I read it in SI.

Are they wrong they even the slightest story about this subject came from that radio show? It's the same BS that I have with ESPN or even local radio, starting shit for the sake of starting it, just to be more entertaining to keep their jobs.

ding ding ding.

All I said, was it's funny that SOMEONE in Toronto floats a rumor about him retiring, and then he's on the ice 2 days in a row. Grow some thicker skin dommie, I wasn't attacking Toronto, just pointing out where the rumor started.

dom

Once again you guys aren't reading. A rumor about him retiring was never floated. Read my posts....What was floated was someone in his his family bringing up the R word as something that should be discussed.. Two entirely different things.

Now where's Jonsei to complain about this 'retirement' rumor. Although I doubt he'll read my posts either.

dom

While we're on the subject. Can anyone think of some examples of a player who was concussed, out as long as Sid and came back to have a healthy, concussion free career?

Not saying there haven't been any, I just can't think of any. The Lafontaine's and Lindros brothers are the first I think of.

Yumcha

I know Toews was knocked to orbit by Mitchell and came back great. But, he was not out as long as Sid.


Erm...Gary Roberts broke his neck and came back.

Yumcha

...but, that's not the same as a concussion...Can't recall. Never really paid much attention to the concussion injury since it was not as prevalent back then.

dom

Paul Kariya? He had concussion problems early on I think.

Penner, acquired in a trade with Edmonton on Feb. 28, has five points in six games with the Kings and is riding a five-game point streak

Yumcha

What are the odds today, Waldorf...?

Jonesi

TorontoMZ



I'm on domdom side, I like McCown.

Moog-Type-S

Must I do this daily?!??!....ok, Statler

Kings: playoff odds up 0.2 to 93.2%

Hawks: playoff odds up 5.3 to 92.2%

Jonesi

I got your text message

Jonesi

Anyone else think the Caps are peeking at the right time?

Yumcha

Just noticed your location...you moved recently, dude?

Yumcha

They look good.




Coincides with Bugs Bunny going silent...he probably is like you, superstitious up the wazoo.

Patrice Bergeron has had 2 that each kept him out longer than Sid's been out. Problem is, this is his first full season back (assuming he finishes the season) and he's still pretty early in his career. He's been a stellar player for the B's this year looking better than he ever has but the true test will be how he plays (if he plays) in 2021 as a 15 yr veteran of the league and if he continues to suffer concussions after taking a shot to the head.

I one of those who believes that some people are just more prone to concussions than others. Lindros is one who concussed easily, Savard seems to be falling into that category as well, he was a shadow of himself when he came back this year. Some players will never have one despite taking shots to the head from elbows, shoulders, or the boards.

Jonesi

whatcha talkin bout yummy?






I'm not superstitious.......

jupitersolo

Better than losing 14 straight.

Yumcha

Wow, nice recovery. I um, saw nothing, Jonesi.

Have had him all season in fantasy, glad he is contributing

dom

Everything seems to be falling in place perfectly for them. Just a
Reminder of how long the NHL season is. The mustard face seemed so long ago.....

Jonesi

He has a skin condition and it was bad lighting!!

wstevens

Sorry, I didn't realize we were already in the final round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

wstevens

So I guess my answer to your question is

dom

Yumcha

But, dommy! The Caps are doing this with all with NO-NAME goalies...!


Can they...!? CAN THEY?!???

Yumcha

Don't hit me.

Moog-Type-S

So that Statler does not have to ask for it.....

Update:

Kings: playoff odds up 4.2 to 97.4%

Hawks: playoff odds up 1.7 to 94%

Yumcha

We keep it up, maybe they'll be 1st round foes!

Moog-Type-S

I don't think you want that to happen.

Yumcha

Actually, I do.


My team has played well, very well, against yours. If anything, it'd be a good match-up.

No team in the West really scares me except the Preds and that's due to that nutty system they play.
