Who's Dudley "Booger" Dawson? Great nickname. Never heard of him & he's on the Pens 2nd line. Good for him.

I'm sure the Kurtenblog guys gave him that nickname

looks like Booger from Risky Business

I've got a trig midterm tomorrow and I'm being chased by Guido the killer pimp...

What I find interesting about Pittsburgh is even after acquiring Neal & Sullivan their wingers leave a lot to be desired.

It's hard to achieve balance at all positions, though. The Pens obviously are strong down the middle and they have a good defense as well, thus they pay the price on the wings. The Flames are strong on the wings, but weak in the centre ice position.

Booger is a great nickname for Kennedy!

As for the wingers Kunitz I think still is the top winger!?... Kennedy is a 3rd liner masquerading as a top 6.

Also Orpik is not playing the D pairings are:

Letang - Engelland
Martin - Michalek
Lovejoy-Niskanen

Very true. Looking at their lineup I realized just how much they really needed Jagr.

If Sullivan goes down which based on history is a matter of when NOT if, it would really be a big blow.

Will be watching, but won't be here. GO CANUCKS GO!!!

 

[Erdber]

3 1/2 hrs and the season begins! WOOT!

 

[Darkstone42]

I very much like the Penguins' lines.

I'm calling a goal for Neal tonight.

Also, Booger, heh.

So it begins off to the game I go

Happy hockey everyone

 

[rares]

the NW division & Western conference championship banners are already hanging from the rafters

no pregame "celebration" ... lets celebrate when (if) we get the big one

IMO, they can hang up an extra one for 2011-2012 while they're at it... Hah!

(no offense but that division is sooooo terribad)

I think the Avs had won it 5 years running before the canucks took over*.
*there was a transition period where CGY and Minny each one it.


3 hours, and I'm getting butterflies already.
also, Three Days Grace sucks.

 

[Darkstone42]

I predict a 3-2 Penguins win. Neal, Kennedy, and Staal for the Penguins, Burrows and Strum for the Canucks.

I have a 50% chance of being right.

 

[puckhead]

might as well use this as a HNIC thread...

Does Mike Komisarek have a new nickname that I don't know about,
or were the Leafs faithful already booing him during the opening ceremonies?


update: lol... I forgot Panoof was the Captain.
what a trainwreck in the making. holding the remote does not make you a leader.
(well, it does in my house, but that's besides the story)

Hey now!!

/that's all I've got (unfortunately)

 

[puckhead]

MLSE too cheap to pay anthem singer.
that's not a good omen.


also, did I just spell the past tense of win as "one"?
yup. I meant they each won one div title.
