For some reason people want to talk about sporting events more than bargaining sessions. Madness.

[Dr Pepper]

Wow, we actually have SIX of these!

Watch out, Canadian team boards!

 

[piqued]

Have to say I really like this new rule against closing the hand on the puck. You have sticks for a reason.

 

[piqued]

Backlund ties it up after a nice move by Iginla. Some nice snap shots here from both sides.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Oh my God...SIX?!?!?!

Would be major lols if Vancouver goes 0-2-1 to start the year.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Smith apparently injured in Phoenix, Labarbera to the rescue.

Wonder how long he's out.

 

[piqued]

Garrison has been underwhelming in this one.

 

[FrailSwan]

Sullivan just tricked against CBJ

 

[FrailSwan]

Mason is trash.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Sullivan just tricked against CBJ

I feel for their fans. They've gone far too long with a crap team.

 

[FrailSwan]

I feel for their fans. They've gone far too long with a crap team.

Agreed. I have no idea how they get through it season after season.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Well it certainly didn't look too appetizing for them after Nash left.....

Who's their star now, anyways? Just a collective of youth, a "we'll be good later, we swear!" type of team.

Hmmm...Johnson?. Maybe Wisniewski?

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

"we'll be good later, we swear!"

They've been saying that ever since the team got there though!

Like I can understand selling your best player and going the rebuild way if they were just horrible since their playoff appearance in 08/09, but they were complete crap before that too.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Overtime in Vancouver.

 

[piqued]

OT in Vancouver.

Bouwmeester gets worse every time I see him.

 

[Cin]

Columbus has needed a new GM for a very long time.

 

[piqued]

Davidson is basically their new GM.

To the shootout we go.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Vancouver into the shootout again.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Burrows pwn'd Kipper there.

1-0 Nucks after 1 round.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

And Tanguay does it on the other end.

1-1 after 2.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Ugh.

1-1 into the 5th round. Come on Flames.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Good God. Kipper bit hard.

Glencross must score....and he doesn't.

3-2 Vancouver wins.

 

[piqued]

Great move by Kassian.

He's really acted like he belongs tonight. Canucks took a lot of heat for the Hodgson trade, not looking too bad now.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Ouch. Lupul out six weeks with broken arm.
