Who's Rotate? Is that a Czech name?

 

[elocomotive]

OUCH!!!

Didn't hit that note.

Three keys in one note
Ugh

No Red Wings ... No Defense (or Defence for my Canadian Brothers/Sisters). It not really hockey.

I enjoyed the skills competition last night...other than Pierre McGuire sucking at his job. Stop forcing dumb questions, thanks. "How are you gonna get your team back in this one?!" Pierre, it wasn't that funny the first time, and you've now asked every player on their team that question, and they all awkwardly replied "Uhhhh...yeah, we gotta do better." The game now though...how do people get mad at guys for not wanting to go to these? You can't tell me this slow, hit-less, snoozy game helps the league that much.

Only 2 goals so far, with half a period gone.
I want my money back.

Edit as I post they score

Which is why I thought they were going to do the World Cup in mid season in place of the All Star game.

Money back? If you're watching it on tv I think you just got scammed!!!

Team Toews is doing a lot more active defense, fore checking and back checking(not hitting) and attacking the net.
Team Foligno is trying to do the pretty set up and half hearted defense with stretch passes or five men wide.

It really hurts me, deep in my soul to think that Nash, Voracek and Johansen were all on the same team at one point.

What a fucking line that would have been.


I really hate Scott Howson.

 

[elocomotive]

LMAFO!!

 

[Cobiemonster]

Both teams trade goals

Ryan Suter and Claude Giroux with goals for their respective teams

 

[Cobiemonster]

Tyler Seguin makes it 6-5 Team Toews

 

[Cobiemonster]

Just like 43 says "Fuck Jeff Carter", I'll say this:

"Fuck Draft Lottery"

 

[Cobiemonster]

Stammertime ties it at 6-6

 

[elocomotive]

4 goals in 2:27 to start the 2nd.

(getting tired of that song...)
