That's Motrin pain, right there.

dom

Ummm, that's not good for Sochi....

That clip didn't show the overhead view. You see his shin bend around the post, fawking brutal.

Yumcha

The Kings' Vhey or Spaghetti can step in for Stamkos.

Yumcha

Am I one of the few who could care less who wins the Olympic gold?

Yumcha

Aaron Ward is saying Stamkos has a broken tibia...How long is that going to take to heal?

black label

It's being reported that he'll need surgery to repair it.

Moog-Type-S

I'm sure a doctor can answer that.
It's not going to be listed under the great unknowns of the universe.

You really had to ask AZ hockey about that?

Yumcha

Right...but, is it season-ending or a 6-8 week thing?

Yumcha

Sure.

Some injuries, like a separated shoulder, we generally it will be around 4-5 weeks return. Just not sure what is a broken tibia. So, asking.




Anyhow, I'll wait for the official word that he has a "lower body injury".

Moog-Type-S

Tofolli is too busy scoring 2 goals and an assist for LA

Met the kid Sunday, nice kid..humble too.


Great clip of teh skilz!

I'm gonna guess 8 weeks to get the skates back on and another 3-4 to play in a game. It sounds like a very similar injury to what happened to Campbell last year, I believe that was his rough timetable.

Moog-Type-S

Can I interest you in a magic 8 ball?

Yumcha

Ah...thanks.


So, not as catastrophic as how TSN and all of Canada is making it out to be.

Talk about over-blown. It's all it is on TSN every few minutes...breaking news and more updates.

Meanwhile, in the Philippines...

Yumcha

Please do!

How many goals will Linguini and Vhey score?

Yumcha

Seriously, I think Canada cares more about this injury than the city of Tampa.

Moog-Type-S

He'll be back in time to face Colorado in the Stanley Cup finals....but only to have Roy, in a fit of blind, mad rage, hit him with a stick in the same leg.

Then Roy exits, stage left, on a magical unicorn, all the while punching random women on the way out of the arena with the Cup on his back....riding all the way to Toronto, to hand them their Cup!

Tim Lie-Weekly fires up the parade machine on his predetermined parade route.....Leafs fans all have a single solitary tear streaming down from their eye.

Justice!

Moog-Type-S

They have hockey in the Philippines?

Yumcha

Although, with Stamkos gone, the weakness of the East probably is even more obvious as T-Bay will probably not be very good for a stretch.

At 22 points, Vhey and Fetuccini's team is outside of the playoffs...but, in the East, that's good for #3.

Moog-Type-S

No matter anymore, it's not about conferences, it's all about the division.
Top 3 in each division make up the first 12 teams. Then you got the best of the rest for the bottom 4 in each conference to go.

Then you got wild card seating mumble jumble.

Yumcha

Yeah, that's true. Good point...I keep forgetting that when I look at the conference standings (i.e. on TSN's site).

One thing that still makes me scratch my head is why the League approved of the new alignment though. You have way more teams duking it out in the East for playoff spots than out in the West. So, in some ways, the games amongst the Eastern teams mean more since there are fewer spots available given more teams.

black label

That's because Canada is actually aware that there is a hockey team in Tampa who has a player named Stamkos

Moog-Type-S

...because The Count.

Stop playin' us. No need to be ashamed your made it straight outta compton.

We all made it from the projects. Fibbo: obvious. Yummy: Southside of Chicago. Black Label: of course, Southie. Blackack: Homey from Homewood.

The only softy here is domcha, who tries to rep toughie, but is a through and through soft 905'er.

Ample recovery time before Sochi. I just wish he had broken his leg prior to Saturday night.

Moog-Type-S

You say'n they would not let a ghetto thug like me into a ice rink in an area full of people born with a silver spoon in their mouth, akin to where dom grew up?

I demand equality!

Fight the power!

Moog-Type-S

That poor net!!!

Moog-Type-S

In all seriousness....that net didn't even budge much.

Perhaps the league should look into better moorings that give a bit more.

That was brutal.

black label

You'd know how the net moorings work better than I do but isn't it essentially a rubber pipe that runs from inside the ice to inside the goalpost? After seeing the gif play in super slowmo, it almost looks like he pinned the net on its mooring with his left skate right before his right leg crashed into it but I'm not sure that's possible.

dom

Sochi was my first thought. Who doesn't want to see the worlds best goal scorer on a line with the worlds best player? I'd argue Canada hasn't had 2 players this good together on the ice since Mario and Wayne in 86. Now it's out the window, no way he's back in 12 weeks at full speed.

dom

My cell is a 416 area code homes.

Yumcha

I suppose. But, personally, I don't think Canada needs Stamkos to win gold.

Fibonacci

And yet domcha still hasn't been to da HOF.


Cheli gave a shout out to my boy Kid Rock last night.

Going to see the Avs play the Canes tonight. Super excited. Didn't get to see a game last year with the lockout. Normally try and get to one every year when they come to town.

That was my thought as well, I was surprised at how little give the net had
