Ongoing NHL thread - Part III

I'm not sure that "penultimate" was the adjective that you were looking for there, but yeah. Shane Doan is a piece of shit.

I pride myself on my vocab, but man...I thought that word had a different meaning.

I've found that as Shane Doan has slowed down, the dirtiness factor has amped up.

/Either that or he still has Rocky Mountain Fever.

It makes sense, really. When guys start to lose a step and they can't stop you legally, they'll resort to other means.

Shane Doan is on pace for his highest point total since 2010-11. If anything, he's improved his play by playing dirty.

If it's fancy skating they want, let 'em go watch the Ice Capades.

It's cool, pix. I was the same. I didn't actually really realize it meant what it does until I started watching Top Gear. They kept talking about the "Penultimate Corner" on their test track and I thought "That's just an ordinary left hander".

I learneded.

I feel like this word has to have been misused elsewhere, because I usually just use context. It just sounds better when it's a fancier version of ultimate. STUPID LATIN.

Now you have a bonus question for the next test

Rangers had an awesome February. I think they finally found their legs.
Though, rumor swirling around that Nash may be done for the year

That StevieY is one obstinate son of a gun (and good on him).

Drouin not returning to Tampa Bay

 

[dash]

I can definitely envision StevieY doing a Drouin dangle (not to be confused with a Datsyuk dangle) at the entry draft.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

"One thing is clear: Tampa Bay’s players would have welcomed Drouin back with open arms. Last year, Drouin netted 32 points in 70 games in just about 13 minutes of ice time per game.

A Lightning player said he wished Tampa Bay had more time in Montreal during a recent stop in February to sit down with Drouin and coax him into a return, to tell him “You have a chance to really be a part of something special here.”

Maybe that player should've told the coach that about Drouin?

The Rangers are a good team, got to think they could be Washington's biggest rival in the East in the playoffs.

Does the AHL hono(u)r NHL suspensions? I see Rinaldo has been suspended for 5 games, but the Bruins also put him on waivers (which he cleared) and he has been assigned to Providence. At this point, Rinaldo might have played his last game in the NHL.

Along with the Bolts (currently on a 7 game winning streak). Also defending Eastern Conference Champs.

Having Hank is our best chance at beating them.

The Nakladal - Jokipakka defense pairing in Boston tonight is a phonetics nightmare.

There we go, Caps. Richards cuts the lead to 2-1. Time to get rolling here and give the Penguins a preview of their first round exit.

That Orlov call for embellishment was a joke. Stick in the legs, arms around the body... gimme a break.

I see it on the Chimera play, but that's a tackle for fuck's sake.

The gauntlet, thrown down it is...
