Memo to @Duke of Douchington

we don't like Pierre around here either

/continuingthetraining

I dont mind him if he's not covering a Pens game.

I don't mind Pierre, the guy has a encyclopedic knowledge of player history and is very enthusiastic about the game. Sure, he gets a little creepy at times, but the guy knows his stuff.

Pretty much. In terms of knowledge, I like listening to him and Marek.

damn. pretty intense first period between canada-us for a pre tournament game

Gosh, I hope Pix isn't watching USA/CAN. I don't want her to lose faith in that whole "Jack Johnson and Sid are BFFs" thing.

And who knew, Jack Johnson actually has a heart beating in there. I dare say I was impressed. Even GOD DAMNED HERO Dubinsky just skated in, gave a cheap shot, and skated out. Johnson actually mixed it up.



Also, made me giggle when Bucci nearly shit himself when the cannon went. C'mon people. The arena is 16 years old. YOU SHOULD BE READY

*BLAM*

TJ Oshie was quoted as saying the worst thing in all of hockey is that cannon.

I was quoted as saying the worst thing in hockey is TJ Oshie's stupid face.

This game is getting a bit rough

Feels like I'm watching a monkey trying to fuck a football.

The good news is we have some really great hospitals here. Before this is over, they're gonna need 'em. TORTS HOCKEY!

Habs fans gotta hope Babs lets Price rest for the third. That knee/body he took to the face on the third goal probably scared the bejeezus out of all of Quebec.


And the NHL refs are in midseason form too. Nothing for Oshie, gamer for shit for brains. Consistency.

Technically, I don't even know if he gets creepy, other than the fact he just looks creepy. But yeah, I pretty much agree with the sentiment (although his Dion love is a bit much).

If everyone involved is in it for the money, is there a chance there will be no bodychecking?

Seems like a muiti-week ASG, with better unis. And some pseudo, kinda national pride.

If you are Sid, do you really want Letang hitting Geno?

After the CAN/US hockey game, I am proud to say my prognostication skills are in sieve-like form.

Gotta say, I was surprised at the compete level.

Yeah, that was much more intense than I could've imagined.

Quick was getting a lot of credit for stopping 30 something shots in two periods but I thought he gave up a lot of rebounds that if Canada were playing for something they probably would've attacked with more intent and made goals out of.

That Bergeron-Sid-Nasal Fungus line though...holy shit.

Yeah, I didn't think Quick looked all that sharp. He didn't even look particularly Quick-like. His tracking looked off.

Price was a bit rusty as well. But he's so smooth and economical with his movements, it's hard to see it. The goal Kane scored, he doesn't give that up in January, methinks.

Yeah, should've mentioned Price out of fairness. Like you say, I think it's more just rust though.

If Holtby puts in a solid game tonight (been okay so far, let in a squeaker though) I could maybe see him getting the start in game 1.

Is anyone else noticing that anytime David Amber asks Nick Kypreos a question Kyper turns to Elliotte to respond and ends his answer with "Elliotte"? Does he have beef with Amber?

I like how that German database product that I specialize in is a shoulder patch on these unis.
