Looking at it from our side the Bruins finally woke up and played their game :)

It was a good defensive game just what was expected.

Datsuyk had 2 rare turnovers behind the net that led to both Wild goals. But we came back and won in OT 3-2.

There is something special for original six games. I wish that we played more, these games only increase the appeal for this great sport. Tom, great game last night. I would have been satisfied but not happy if the B's had lost since the game was so well played.:tu

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread

It sure was fun the 1st two periods, back and forth....love seeing scoring chances right off the breakout. Thomas was stellar in the SO too, Paul.

Hoping Hossa's injury isn't serious, the 2nd line looks totally different (read: worse) with Stalberg on it.

I didn't see you on the ice. Must have missed your shifts. :r

Sharks didn't learn their lesson from last year looks like they will drop another tonight. Looking at 1-3 start. I know they changed a decent number of pieces, but there are enough vets that this shouldn't be happening.

I just read that this was the Avs first 5-0 road trip ever.... Good stuff.

Like last year, it has been a fun start.... Unfortunately, it is not a sprint, but a marathon.... GO AVS!

NHL on XM said the Panthers used a different power play configuration on each power play and confused the living crap out of the Lightning.

Quite the meltdown by the Bruins, Paul.

I couldn't help but think of this article I read:

http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/...hat-do-mean-we

Quote:

What Do You Mean, 'We?'
The most overused term in sports

We really need to find a better rebounder.

I can't believe we won that game in the bottom of the ninth.

How do you think we're going to do on Sunday?

Here's the deal: If you don't play for, or you are not an employee of, the team in question, "we" is not the pronoun you're looking for.

"They" is the word you want.

...

Because we're talking about sports, there are certain gray areas, of course. I'm a reasonable man. If you're a resident of Green Bay, Wis., you might be able to say "we" when you're talking about the Packers, because you might very well own some small percentage of the team.

If you're a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs, you can probably say "we," because your faithful devotion to that miserable team is the principal reason they will always be ****. You might as well accept your share of the blame.

College teams present the most interesting dilemma. If you're a student at a university, and you somehow help fund the team through your student fees — I'll freely admit that this might be a purely Canadian, socialist phenomenon — then "we" is appropriate.

But if you've never even attended the school? Then there's no "we" about it.

...

But wait, WAIT, the fans said to me the other night. Sports teams are different from all those other objects of affection. Teams are part of the social fabric of a community. They play in a stadium that we probably paid for. Their name includes the name of my hometown. I'll still love the team long after the current players are gone. How come they can say "we," and I can't? I was here before them, and I'll be here after them. I'm more part of this team than they are.

Tell that to Expos fans or Whalers fans or Browns fans or Grizzlies fans. There wasn't much they could do to change the direction of things, was there? "We" would have meant being able to do something about it. "We" means participant, not observer.

I'm not busting your chops Christos. I've been known to say it too. I just happened accross this article and throught of yours and Mike's recent posts. It's a pretty funny read, although I can't say I entirely agree. I think the author is being a little uptight about it but, it does make for a good laugh.

Good game for the Hawks Crawford and his D.

I gotta say the Avs are for real, their speed is incredible. They will go as far as Valarmov can take them (maybe a good thing, maybe not).

Should be a great rematch Saturday night. :tu

He is a helluva player for 18, but he was offside on the tying goal. That's on the linesmen, my buddy Andy McElman.

Good to get 1 point after being down 3-1 with a minute left in the 2nd.

I thought that as well, when it was happening... Never even watched a replay...did that confirm it?

It did, E.J., but it awfully close, I can see how Andy missed it. Regardless, that kid is going to be a star. I just dropped Cam Fowler for him in my fantasy league.

I think they have plenty of talent at forward to do it. Defense, and Varlamov's consistency, will end up telling the tale one way or the other. :2

Don't jump just yet. You're very early into the hangover. About 20 games in you'll probably be writing death threats to the GM. By 50 games in the fog might start to clear and if you're lucky they'll make the playoffs.

They likely won't get crazy wanting to blow things up until the offseason. :D

:2

P.S. This is not a slight on the Bs, but a generalization about any cup winning team that hasn't won it in a long time. This funk is what makes being back-to-back champs such an amazing feat.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 11:28 PM.
