This statement from you is really a thumb in the eye of the people who were clamoring for more faceoff talk from Hughson and Simpson. It was only something like 70% of the broadcast last year, and I've got a fever... :wink:
FACEOFFZ IS IMPORTANT THOUHGG

He's a professional. Plays the game the right way.
We need more professional hockey players. Him and Martin are the only ones we have.

wow ... matt duchene not even changing in the dressing room with the rest of his teammates :L

To be fair, the guy is hono(u)ring his contract and making a huge sacrifice to make $6 million per year by playing a fun sport every day for a few hours.

Okay, that so(u)nds like he's being kind of a lil' bitch now that I read that back. I see that now. But when you co(u?)nsider what he brings to the table he's worth every p.... wait, what?!? 18 goals?!? Son of a'...

After reconsideration, it seems like the guy who makes Nick Backstrom money putting up Nick Bonino numbers should shut his mouth and actually start believing the "I'm trying to get better" line he's putting out there.

Didn't even notice the Rielly on his offside thing. Seems like a bad idea to force your best young defender (arguably) onto his off wing to accommodate Ron Hainsey, but that's why they pay Babs the big bucks I guess.
I thought Hainsey would be fine as a 3rd pair guy. Shit, Hunwick and Polak weren't even 100% awful last year (and Polak was driving the Caps nuts before they crushed his leg).

But as a partner for Rielly, getting top minutes? Yeah, no thanks.

For fuck's sake. Injuries just keep piling up and they've played exactly 1 pre-season game.

It's only one preseason game, but Mike Smith like Alex Auld is not the answer.

Can I interest you in an Andrew Hammond?

He had a .941 SVP one year. :eyebrows:

Classic rookie mistake, typical 20-year old. You wanna keep a loose grip so you don't hurt your wrist.

Lube helps as well.

They should really cover this in NHL orientation.

Hey, we have the legend of Eddie Lack, the Flames will be just fine.

I don't remember Eddie Lack being showered with hamburgers during his career, do you?

Always remember, when all else is equal hamburgers>>>>no hamburgers

It sounds like you've never had the glory of being called one before... from my experiences and the statements I've seen there are billions, maybe even trillions of shitlords out there :wink:

Didnt read the story, but am guessing he is concerned about being called for "nasal encroachment".

He leads the league in several offensive categories including nose hair. When that guy sneezes, he looks like a party favor.
