Nice lady, good kids.

Just looked at the games on tonight's slate....not too many off them are very intriguing to me. Probably end up watching Bruins v Caps

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I am wondering if this trend will continue.

After Ericson jumped Brule you kind of expected a return jump.

Tom Jumbo got 2 games for the hit

Actually took one right in the mouth...that's what happens when you jump in to early w/o your partner, and put one fighter at a disadvantage. :2

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Some interesting discussion on the hot stove and on Sharks feed about Thorton.
David Perron said basically: I dont know what he's supposed to do there not hit me and let me skate past? Thats not right.

Alex Pietrangelo admitted it was a buddy fock pass and said it was partly his fault. He also was not sure how Thorton could have played it any different.

Everyone is in agreement that the hit was not malicious. Even Perron said the hit was not malicious and Joe had to make the hit or he would have been on a break out.

Many experts are arguing this was not a violation of the rules and feel Joe is being punished because hes 6'4". When the league was asked what Thorton should have done as to let him skate by or hit him or what. They did not have an answer. Seriously? You suspend a player and you have no advice on what the player should have done instead? WTF! He didnt drive into him he just braced for him to run into him.

There is also the issue that everyone is discussing that the Perron took a dive and clearly embelished it. Joe even said the guy took a dive calling him out publicly. Nice fuggin mess the league has created. Tall guys cant check little guys now.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Another two games and it will all be forgotten, Mike. As long as the Sharks keep Niemi on the bench, they will be fine. ;)

As to what I posted earlier. Its getting stupid this was just a good clean hockey hit. I think they may need to start giving people a day off for this kind of shiz.

and again

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Your point is well taken, Mike. Last night in the Wings game, both the guys who "responded" to a hit on one of their teammates got 2 for instigating, 5 for fighting and a 10 minute misconduct. Maybe 17 minutes per incident would slow it down.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

And he is doing the Wings - Canucks game tonight and sporting a fat lip.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Great game by the Avs tonight...

Budaj has been very good filling in for Anderson...

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I can't root for the Avs when Craig is out of the line-up. :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Come on Tom, these young guys are all kinds of exciting...:D

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

And direct competitors to my boys, E.J.....I give Craig a pass because he's a friend. ;)

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

....guess you can extend that to the Avs a pass, because they are teammates of a friend...:tu

GO AVS!!!

You know there is just something different about a hockey player being interviewed from other sports.

That Thornton suspension is a joke... When he asked the NHL what he could of done differently, they couldn't even answer!! Typical Bettman!!

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Zach Stortini stay the hell away from John Scott. :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Not a good game for the Hawks tonight...
I did enjoy watching the Caps and Flyers game on NHL network though.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

This is going to be a good year for John Scott. He is as tough as anyone in the NHL and he can play. Watch out for Big John.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I liked it. :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I went to the game tonight and it looked worse live. They played strong in the 1st period we were looking for that in the 3rd.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Crap I just saw the part where his glove was already off before Stortitites got to him. I sw their first fight from last year he was definetly pissed at him and wanted another shot.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Sortini came on the ice earlier in the game and bumped him. Scott caught him with a nice left in the mush before the linemen jumped in....Scott couldn't wait to get a hold of him.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Pisani had a nice goal 1st period, but other than that the Hawks seemed out of place again.

Augggghhh.....:td

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Im with you brother. The Sharks have apparently decided to be an average team this year. Seeing a hell of a lot of no effort out there from some big name players:sh

Well some nights atleast. Then some nights they decide they will play.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Tonight was a good night

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Heading to the Hawks game tomorrow.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Enjoy the game Admiral. Maybe I'll watch for you on t.v. :D

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Jackets wipping up on the Blues....it's a shame I just got home from bowling and forgot to tivo it :td

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Jackets win 8-1. Maybe that will stop a little of the Blues momentum

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

The Hawks just couldn't get the puck to the net tonight. Toews had a great chance late 3rd period but missed wide.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Kovalchuk epic shoutout fail. He is not having a good season after signing that big contract.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Hawks looks rotten tonight, but the beers were cold.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

The B's Win 7-4. 5 Goals in the third period. It's good to see they did not play well in this game the first two periods.
To see them come out and just kill the Pens was nice.
They look good this year, I know it's early but They are playing with a little more fire this year than they showed all of last year.:2

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I'm concerned with their lack of scoring early in the game. This is the 3rd game that they can't find their groove until the third. Their passes have been sloopy, still have to dump and chase.....

Don't get me wrong I am glad they won, but this style of play won't work all time.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

These next couple of games should really be a tough test of who this team really is. 3 games in 4 nights

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Ya can't wait for tonight! :noon

There's never a dull moment at the Garden when the Habs are in town.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

That was an EPIC FAIL. :D

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

They played the same way they did on Sunday. Argh!! I can't believe all the wide open shots that they missed.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Heading to the 'Canes game tonight... Flyers in town - former 'Canes Coach Laviolette back in Raleigh.

Hoping for a good game. :tu
