I honestly don't think it's a big deal but I just didn't want to upset anyone.

On a somewhat-related note, I'm gonna request that 72o symbolically banhammers me for a day as soon as the Flames are mathematically eliminated from Stanley Cup contention. I've never been banned before, I need some street cred.

So PM him.

this is like when the rapper hires bobby baccalieri to shoot him so his album sales will rise - you don't go telling everyone about the subterfuge. it would've been awesome if you had tilted ITT and gotten banned.

ty thread content police

lol

lol, I'm not capable of that anymore. Maybe when I started posting here 2 years ago. Maybe. That Socialist dude really got on my nerves back in the day. I came close last year with the GREEEEEEEEEEEARaments. Now I actually don't have a problem with the guy, but he's changed a lot.

At this point, I'm so apathetic, I don't think I'm capable of tilt anymore. Besides, I've got over 7k posts T, I'm a legit SE reg now. Gotta uphold my record as a model citizen. Best 5th round pick of the SE poster draft AINEC.

sorry, don't know any hookups in vegas, which is kinda surprising now that i think about it

You guise are making Sergei sad with all this war talk and banhammahs.

The playoff thread is really gonna suck this year without the ability to get heated at someone or something.

+1

however the 2nd annual NHL Bracket Pool will hopefully get a lot more entrants

fyi - one of the main reasons I hate the Caps is their fat crybaby coach Bruce Boudreau. I've never seen a coach in any sport be such a little whiny puke like him. He is an embarassment. With that said, wtf is he trying to say in this article? I don't speak porky pig....

Meh he's just a coach defending his top player to the media, I'd be surprised if he said anything much different than that to the press

and FWIW John Tortorella has to be the #1 coach as far as animate reactions to refs doing anything not beneficial to his team

Sergei finding out FlyingRat forgot his 2p2 password imo

I'm hoping to get 1 good infraction.

It's been awhile.
(infraction and playoffs)

Boudreau did do it in a weird way though.

Apologies to NIX who just posted itt, but I can't stand Lindy Ruff's crying after incidents. His nonsense after a perfectly clean hip check on Timmy Connolly a few years back really got me annoyed.

God, yes

I don't remember all the details, but he came completely unglued after Tucker hit somebody, hard but legally, when one of his guys crosschecked Tucker in the face right afterwards.

Maybe I just hate everything about the Sabres, except Harry Neale

TBH I get tilted at Lindy Ruff moreso because I know he's in close proximity to Buffalo Wings and Tim Hortons and I am not

thus he doesn't get to complain about a damned thing imo

sometimes it even looks like he wants to fight the refs imho. I think a coach should nearly "never" get emotionally involved like he does. kinda reminds me of tilt imho....

correct. why waste the energy. plus when the coach does go nuts, people actually pay attention.

haha I can only imagine what avery said to hartnell ahahahah, if karma gets him, hes the next victim of another bording suspension ...

Doesn't ring a bell, although I wouldn't be surprised. If there was a bad call/non-call against Buffalo in his mind, that's usually what he talks about for half of his post game press conference. I just accept it and move on.

Re: Boudreau
What I meant was that when I first read those comments, I interpreted it as him saying 'Ovechkin's hit was dirty and everyone wants him suspended except our fans and we ignore it because we're homers. The same thing would be true in Pittsburgh with the Crosby homers.' Then I read it again and took it as 'Everyone wants Ovechkin suspended because he's better than anyone else, so every other team wants him gone for a long time.' The fact that you could spin it the first way is what I found weird. Of course, Boudreau did call Ovechkin reckless himself a few months ago.

Downie gets a $1k fine.

Lol at the 'this is an unjust and reputation based fine argument.'

All your monies are belong to me!
