That may be true, but his ass was so wide half of his credited hip checks were of the unintentional variety.

LOL!! Yeah Blake was the KING of the BUTT Check.

Kasparaitis was another guy who had a good hip check. Of course many thought every single one of them were dirty.:

Kronwall is the current day master of the butt check.

Drew Doughty has a pretty good one too

heard the sound bite* and Torts didnt say "shit" ... he said "stuff" ... I was ok with Botch going with public with the whole Thornton thing but attributing certain words to someone when they didnt say it is kindly offside


*unless there was a private convo where Torts repeated the line and used the vulgarity

Botch wouldn't make *stuff* up in order to generate web hits, would he?

I'm sure there are likely some safety issues, but damn this would have been funny:

Winnipeg Jets fans' helmet stunt nixed by team - Manitoba - CBC News

Apparently, CAL gets a 6th-rounder in 2014 for Jackman.

Looks like a 2014 6th round pick is heading Calgary's way - Frees up a contract spot as well which is never a bad thing. Good luck to Tim in Disneyland.

Edit: Escapes the cold Calgary winter and gets to join a playoff team - Not a bad deal at all.

I've always liked Jackman. Now Perry and Getzlaf have a winger for when Penner becomes unmotivated.

I take back what I said about Columbus being the worst divers in the NHL....Nashville has them beat by a mile

I very rarely saw him hit dirty. Only one better than him was Scott Stevens.

Kaspar was an artist

Seems like the NHL is advertising the shit out of the NYR Stadium series games over the Winter Classic. The Heritage Classic barely even exists according to the NHL.

This is the first I am seeing this as I was a radio listener for last night's game.

Who was wearing Umberger's jersey last night?

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Let's see if the Devils actually show up and give Schneider support for once.

I noticed that too - I've seen barely anything of the Winter Classic, it's all about the Stadium Series in NY and LA

RASK SMASH!!!!

Well, kind of.

 

[awaz]

The flyers, yes those flyers, have not allowed an even strength goal in 5 games and only 1 in their last 6.
