LMAO

Is somebody doing one for monies?

I would be in, altough I am still thinking what an idiot I am when I did the msnl for 500$ while I didn't even know a **** about hockey(and I am happy how this has changed during this season watching like 15 games a week and reading all the time sure as hell does help a ton :P (and I am still a semi fish...)

my list is the exact same, although i like yzerman and fedorov the same, it just depends on the day. Another random thing was that i never really liked shanahan, idk why though.

oh and ****ing dino ciccerelli was pretty ****ing awesome... and everyone likes Draper

A little late but, the Eklund rumor generator:
http://hockeybuzzhogwash.com/rumourgen.htm

"According to my sources within the Buffalo Sabres organization, the Philadelphia Flyers are willing to part with C Jeff Carter, RW Simon Giroux and C Danny Briere to obtain the services of D Teppo Numminen. Remember, you heard it here first!"

lol at 2 things about this one.

Duchene to Sharks? (e2)
According to my sources within the Colorado Avalanche organization, the San Jose Sharks are willing to part with D Dan Boyle, LW Danny Heatley, a bag of pucks and C Joe Thornton to obtain the services of C Matt Duchene. Remember, you heard it here first!

i also got Hedman + Stamkos for Dan Boyle.

Exactly, you're basically arguing that because there is already an automatic suspension for Ovechkin due to his amount of misconducts that the one game is all he should get. Not only is it not true but it would still be bull****.

But the possibility of supplementary discipline is in the rulebook. Why do you have a problem with that?

The Lapierre hit was dirtier, mostly because it was extremely late. Ovechkin's hit was more dangerous, so they're more or less a wash. If you're trying to make a point by comparing the nuances of both hits as to why each got suspended for x amount of games you really are clueless. They didn't suspend Lapierre for twice as long because the hit was twice as bad, lolol.

I agree that the automatic suspension rule is stupid, especially if it doesn't apply after 41 games. You're making a mountain out of a molehill, though, because that rule is irrelevant when there is a clause for supplementary discipline after any of these hits. Does it really bother you that much that there is a meaningless rule that doesn't affect anything in the rulebook? All it shows is that the NHL is stupid, but we knew that already.

I don't hate Ovechkin. I think he's the best player in the game, the most exciting to watch by far, and he has a great personality. I don't go out of my way for reasons to bash him. But because I happen to think he got off lightly considering his history of dirty hits, the extent of the injury his opponent suffered, and the length of suspension for a similar hit to another player recently that makes me an Ovechkin hater? You are comical, and considering several other people ITT have said the same thing as me about him getting off easy it appears you really only wanted to pick a fight with me. And I wonder why? Because you can easily spin it off as me just being some senseless Ovechkin hater because I'm a Penguins fan. Well done, but everybody knows who the biased one is here. It's the guy who only comes ITT to defend Caps players or Russians. Yep, not biased at all though right?

Right, because that's exactly what I said.

Intent really has little to do with this play - we can almost all agree that Ovechkin did not intent do hurt Campbell. It's still yet another reckless hit that everybody who has ever played hockey is taught to let up there. Suspensions are already governed with subjective analysis, I really don't see the big deal. I guess as long as the subjective analysis used to determine suspension length benefits Ovechkin you're fine with it. I can't say that I blame you, but it's a ridiculous angle to try to use in an argument.

What part of that text you quoted has anything to do with the referees? But as long as you get a thinly veiled shot at the Penguins that's all that matters right?

No, but the damage done is and always will be when you do something illegal. People here want the actions to be punished without results as a factor but that will never happen in any sport or any facet of life. Get over it.

That only took me 20 minutes I swear.

MURESAN ALERT

THIS!!!

Still, I'd like to see more, and longer suspensions.

LOL! Done, and good call T.

I think the fans of teams who don't make the playoffs should adopt another team for kicks (like Etats said), or just troll the **** out of the rest of us. Er, I mean...mild-troll us...

Boudreau is a goofy, fat ****. LOL @ him blaming TSN for the Ovechkin suspension. Was pretty funny last night during the Flames/Wings game last night when they were like "It was a Sunday game on NBC, and we weren't on the air since last week, wtf?!?". What a tool BB is... (don't take notes from the Ron Wilson playbook!)

you need to update that list, etats seems to be missing from 29 teams.

Tonight's Schedule:

Buffalo @ Atlanta - Even matchup, Buffalo needs the points more but only has 1 win in their last 10 road games, but have won 7 straight against Atlanta

Boston @ Carolina - Another even matchup, with the Bruins closing out a 7-game/11-day roadtrip

Montreal @ NYR - Another even looking game, the Habs looking to extend their longest winning streak in 4 years in a match between the #7 & 9 teams in the East

Washington @ Florida - You might not have heard, but Alex Ovechkin is suspended for this one...

Toronto @ Ottawa - BATTLE OF ONTARIARIO!!! The Leafs with 3 straight wins agains the Sens

Phoenix @ Tampa Bay - "The Coyotes look to match a franchise record for wins in a single season with their 6th straight victory"

Colorado @ St. Louis - Chris Stewart has 6g/4a against the Blues this year, and the Avs have outscored them 16-5

Edmonton @ Minnesota - I'll be flabergasted if the Wild don't win this one

Philadelphia @ Nashville - Two teams that need points, I couldn't find any other compelling storyline... (which means it'll definitely be a 3-pointer)

San Jose @ Dallas - "Turco is 1-7-1 with a 3.12 GAA in the last nine home games vs the Sharks while backup Kari Lehtonen is 0-2 with a 4.50 GAA in two career starts against them. Nabokov is 8-0-0 with a 1.43 GAA in his last nine starts in Dallas." Alright then...

NYI @ Vancouver - I would expect the Canucks to win this one

lol USA

lol, what game is that?

NHL '99

Former Sabres: 1g 2a
Sabres: 1g

wp guys

A5, you can't have it both ways. If a bad hit for your team gets missed by both refs and the league disciplinarians, you say 'oh well, the system isn't perfect. Probably should be whatever the rule book says.', then when ovechkin gives out a bad hit and gets called on it, turn around and say 'give him more than what the book says because something about him spells dangerous'. That's exactly what you are doing. I don't trust the league any more than you do. I cannot give them the benefit of the doubt that they can factor a player's speed, weight, intent, the color of his eyes, his endorsements, and how many drops of blood spilt onto the ice into the length of a suspension. Supplementary (or punitive) suspensions exist, and the league already takes way too many liberties with that in the face of many other inconsistencies. you appear to just accept inconsistencies that are in your favor, but call for them when they are not. You decided that 4 games is fair, backed by geddy and a bunch others. Great, you are for harsher punitive penalties in a case that doesn't require it. Like at all. And don't get me started on OV's other misconducts. he is a repeat offender by virtue of the Kaleta 'boarding'.

FYI: I don't just come in to defend caps and Russians (I not doing either right now). I also come here to spread my hate for penguins, flamboyant canadians, the commisioner, and Brett hull. At least I am honest about it, and don't pretend to like crosby when he scores a nice goal. I swear you tilt me like no other.
