NHL 2009-10 Regular Season Thread - Page 920 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

One of the under-the-radar prospects of the Habs I was pretty excited about got wrist surgery and now they say it might end his career. What kind of ****ing wrist injury ends a 18 year-old's career?

Alexander Avtsin

They said the same thing about Tangradi last year then changed their minds

I guess that's why we play the game though right? Maybe the Sharks are tired, I dunno. Good luck Flames - it's more fun if you guys go busto on the last game.

I don't know which game you're referring to, but this is a game the Flames should actually win. Must-win, at home, playing a Sharks team that's lost 3 in a row and on the latter half of a back-to-back...Flames are even money tonight imo.

Although I can't see the Wings losing to Edmonton tonight.

Let's say hypothetically it's the last game of the year, a 10:30 PM home game for SJ. Detroit has the 8 seed locked up and San Jose is 1 point behind Chicago for the #1 seed. If you're SJ you throw that game, right? And I'm being serious.

Now that I think about, top 10 for Kovy is not unrealistic since the older guys like Mikita, Esposito, Richard, and Lafleur get crushed in today's NHL.

Probably Lemieux, Hull, Bure, Bondra, Jagr, Selanne, Oven duck, Bossy......I don't know who else

What's the definition of, "pure goal scorer"?

I realize this, but Calgary can't really afford to scoreboard watch. They're gonna need to go close to 9-3 to finish the season in order to get themselves in contention. The rest will take care of itself, regardless if it means playoffs or not.

Boyle's hold wasn't a penalty iyo? How about the trip on Kotalik that wasn't called?

And there are two refs, not four.

So I guess I'm gonna muck up this thread all alone tonight, sigh. No money after Wednesday.

Stupid penalty to take by Bourque, he seems to be good for a dumb one every two games at least.

*edit: ldo meant no money to go out this Friday night, cause why am I here...

This must be the leftover remnants of Steve Staios' WIM that he bestowed upon his Oilers teammates. They wanna help their buddy out.

Prediction: Detroit up 5-2 at the end of the 2nd.
