I just felt like saying that, since it hadn't been said in a while.

And also, do you know when the extra point is shot when a goal is scored? That's for 20000 points and a free iPad.

And for a finger print of Steve Jobs, do you know what a boarding penalty is...? If you say it is for jumping on a plane/boat before your row is called...YOU GET THE FINGER PRINT!

And srika...keep an eye out for the cross-check penalty. It is usually when a player does not cross himself properly when praying to Jesus.

Nope. Just making sure you are up to speed as you watch the game tomorrow.





And also, you know that C on Jonathan Toews (pronounced Toes)...? It means Cunt. He's the biggest Cunt.

Usually, it's slapped on the Cunt player on the team. Same goes for that huge bean-pole for Boston, Chara.



The A on other players like Sharp and Keith? It means @$$hole. Those guys are the two biggest jerks ever. Ask Moog. Keith tried to do dental work on his beloved Carter and Sharp tried to fight someone with an injury.

What @$$holes. Worthy of the A.

When a ref raises his hand while the players are playing, he's just politely letting everyone know that he has something important to say.

Funny how some instigators are somewhat beloved (Barnaby, Domi, Marchand, etc.) and some are universally hated (Avery, Cooke)

I think that all comes down to their style after agitation. I liked Domi (even though he became Gretzky against the b's) because he'd agitate but drop the gloves when challenged for it. Avery and Cooke, not so much, they agitate then run away.

I would liken Marchand to Burrows...without the retardedness. At least Marchand has a line he does not cross. Burrows? Not so much. I attribute that to the Canucklehead syndrome.

But, yeah...both can score and both can drive the opposition absolute bananas. If I had to choose one for my team, Marchand anyday. And what a score by Boston...drafted in the 2nd round.

Getting humiliated in 4 by an arch rival earns you a two year extension. Nice.







To be honest, its nice to see coaches being kept on even after they did a shitty job. Stability is highly underrated in sports and GM's are usually far too quick to pull the trigger. Good on Shero. Looks like he'll be placing the blame where it belongs, on Crosby and Malkin.

Given who's available, I think keeping Bylsma was the best move.

The mistake and proof or your lack of hockey knowledge is now there for everyone to see. What's next, Mike Keenan still coaches Chicago?

Noob.

The "Le-" designation is only given to those teams that sign/trade for every all-star or future HoFer under the sky.

Pittsburgh fits that. Hence, the LePens. Chicago, they aren't that loaded. And their goalie is no-name. So, can't give that sort of respect to the Blackhawks.

Honestly, I am surprised. He had 1 more year, I figured they'd let him go for 1 more year and see if he can turn it around or not. However, given the choice between Ruff and Tippet, I think I'd rather keep Bylsma. And I agree, the coaches all too often take the blame because they're easier to dump and replace than players. I like Bylsma, but his record the last 4 years in the playoffs since he won the cup with someone else's team isn't good, but he is a hell of a coach overall. Just wish he would learn to adapt and adjust rather than just sticking with status quo on a sinking ship. Using a 550 goal hall-of-fame right winger on the left wing :brilliant!: And yes, Malkin and Crosby having no points in the Boston series = huge fail.
