Well, Pancakes is riding the pine tonight.

Game 3 of the season, and Pancakes is back to his old self.

I can't wait until Pancakes and Bernier and traded to the Syrups for half their team.

Kari kept the stars in the game. Nice goaltending...but, the lack of discipline sunk the Stars ultimately.

Nice to see the Hawks come back 2 goals down.

Yo Money, if the SacKings stay at the bottom of the Western Conf Standings, you have nobody to blame but yourself. Endlessly whoring up hockeytalk with your flossy pics of bling is the call sign of a nouveu rich homeslice who can't handle newfound wealth.

Act like you've been there before! Oh wait, you haven't.

Avs won and Duchene actually played up to his potential for once. Only problem is it was against Columbus so the word will still be out on him I guess.

Hey Waldorf...I know you were hating on Kompon's hiring by the Hawks. But, how is it that Chicago's PP woes seemed fixed and the Kings, without Kompon, are now 0-for-bazillion and gave the Oilers the game yesterday?


Just asking. Is it the coaching or the players?

meh...not worried. Thanks to The Counts moronic point system, the Kings have one point, having lost all their games so far.

It's like the "99 percenters" for teams that suck!

Suck at life...don't worry...you deserve something for nothing from your gov't.

Suck at hockey...don't worry....here's a point.

Rangers' power play makes me want to bash Tort's head against the wall. And whats up with this team just throwing passes ahead to no one in particular? Do they expect someone to be there?

Attention Count:

Yea, we all know you think you know how to make the game better.
You think more goals make a better game.

So, you've instructed the refs to call all sorts of tick-tack bullcrap penalties, so that there are power plays galore in every game. 1 man advantages, 2 man advantages are given out like the free tickets to the Coyotes games.

Your logic, Count, seems to be that power plays generate goals, and everyone wants to see goals. So if there is a penalty called every couple of minutes, the game gets better....right?

WRONG! You are a clown of epic proportions, Count. You know ZERO about the game.

All these bull crap penalties generate a game that lacks flow....no back and forth, no prolonged game play were both teams can get into a groove with attacks and counter attacks.

Great games are the ones with back and forth rush and flow...sustained over long periods of time. The best hockey games have great puck movement, some good checking, some great goal tending, great passing, odd man rushes...etc.

All of your forced bull crap ticky tack penalties just create a game that has no flow, no groove, and lacks entertainment, and frustrates fans of either team.

You sir, SUCK!!!

Waldorf is still sore that the Champs lost to the Oiler farm team.



If it makes you feel better, the Hawks get spanked by them regularly.

You'll see that Waldorf's a prima-donna sort...even after winning the Cup and seeing his entire winning squad coming back...still not happy.

Wow.

Just saw this on Cracked.com in an article called "19 disasters caused by misheard homophones." I'm guessing it was one of you who did it (probably not Yummy though). Congrats on winning the $50.

I'm not sure which one of the locals here coined the phrase but it's something that I only associate with Azine Hockey talk. It could have been a combined effort from photoshop master Moog and 97Blackack. Remember Yummy, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't all out to get you.

Jessie Hall or Taylor Hall?

The Oilers are interesting...all that talent and they can't seem to score any even-strength goals. Most of their scoring are on the PP.

Maybe they should stop using plays straight out of Walt Disney movies. What's next, the Bambi sliding on ice with Thumper breakout?
