[DonskoiDonscored]

We're the last remaining California team that aren't cheaters

 

[LadyStanley]

Interesting hockey shots. (No Sharks)

 

[Barrie22]

Ouch!

Hit someone a little high. 41 games. Cheat 20 games. That sounds about right lol.

The new NHL fad: puppy challenge

Crosby willing to help out a fan/family.


Wonder if someone will challenge Thornton to score for a puppy.

Horcoff apologies for his actions -- chose a course of treatments after injury that were not permitted. Admits he should have done more research before embarking on treatment.

Meh, gotta take it to the next level: score 4, and the kid starts a chicken farm. I'm sure Joe could contribute to that endeavour

I dunno I would probably challenge Vlasic to score in order to give a Rescue dog a forever home he would put mor SoG then burns that game

Ovechkin suspended one game for missing the All-Star Game with an injury...

That is such a dumb rule. He's hurt for crying out loud. Let him rest up.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Toews also suspended a game. No word on if he's actually injured or just doesn't want to be eaten by John Scott.

That made me choke up a little. Scott always seemed like a good guy, I'm happy he gets to go.

Oof, right in the feels.

He is sick. Reason for his absence is illness.

Wideman is suspended indefinitely for his cross check on a linesman last night.

Wideman is suspended indefinitely for his cross check on a linesman last night.

Hitting an official is nominally a 10 game suspension.

Sounds like a decision on this is due today.

It sounds like they are waiting for the all star festivities to be done.

NJ Devils to unveil new Brodeur statue Feb 8, and retire his jersey Feb 9.

Larry Robinson plans to be in attendance.

 

[hockeyball]

Oof, right in the feels.

John Scott is pure and simple the ONLY reason I am going to watch that game. I couldn't have given less of a crap about it until he made the team. I don't mean that as a joke, I mean I completely understand how special it is for a guy like and he really deserves our support as fans. I hope this all star game gets the best ratings ever and the NHL is left completely confused.

We want to see something special, something fun. Something guys want to be a part of, not something they are obligated to do. Scott wants to be there, to him it's an honor, and while he's not the most skilled guy on the ice, he's a pure class act through and through and the NHL should support someone like that making the team every season.

I guarantee you Scott scores a goal, because those other guys out there are going to make sure he does. The NHL is totally clueless and has missed one of the best marketing opportunities they have ever had. You want the NHL to compete with the big boys? It's stuff like this that's going to earn you fans, not 3 more outdoor games every year.

Fantastic article, and as much as I hate enforcers, I miss John on this team.

Jesus Christ. Who the **** was that joker bringing up his kids? What kind of cowardly act was that?

Good on Scott and I hope he gives it all he has this coming ASG. Go Scott!

As much as I hate fan voting, I'm glad he gets the chance to go and play. At least he wants to be there (cough, Jagr, cough).

 

[The Great John Scott]

If we're poised for a playoff berth near the trade deadline, I'd love for Doug to trade for Scott. Just give the man a chance to win a cup with this team. Please Doug, please.

Great read from Mr. Scott.

I really hope he gets a goal in the game.

 

[weastern bias]

Fantastic interview, I'm honestly shocked at how blunt and direct the line of questioning was

 

[Solmors]

I almost wanted to make a thread about this on the main boards, but thought it would be too inflammatory. So I'll post it here instead.

There are 7 Canadian teams in the league, all 7 are in the bottom 9 teams point percentage so far this year. Why is it they are all so bad right now? Not just now, but the last Canadian team to win a Cup was back in 1993 (23 years ago, makes me feel old...).

Another funny thing, the two other teams boarder Canada. Buffalo, of course, is right on the boarder, and Columbus is about 100 miles from it.
