I have the shakes. Friday, August 13th, 2010 How appropriate that today of all days is when I finally crack. Its been months since I've last witnessed professional hockey, and it was a bittersweet moment when I observed an anticlimactic ending between two of my most hated opponents. It was an exciting series, but my heart had died in round two with the Wings. And that marked the beginning. I thought my rations of beer-leagues and you-tube videos were large enough to get me through the desolate summer months, but disaster stuck. I was so foolish not to think ahead. How did I not realize that three weekend camping trips were planned all overlapping my beer-league games? I've gone close to a month without playing a game, and now its taken all my effort to keep from collecting the ice from the fridge just to feel its cool touch. I can only wonder about my beer-league companions. We lost contact after my first expedition. I don't even know if they're alive anymore, or what condition their ration stockpile was in. I don't know if I will be alive either, come our next game this Saturday night. The youtube videos and hockey stories have all been used up. I've survived this long on drawing up elaborate hockey plays on a pile of post-it notes at my employment shelter, but how many plays are left to discover?? There's nothing left of any substance to feed me. I pray to the hockey gods for the strength to endue this unholy heatwave for just another 48 hours. That's all I need. I rest my remaining hopes in this note that someone, anybody can find me and share their rations with me, but my body believes it to be too late. I'm withering away, starved to the bone. To whomever may find this: tell my family I love them, should I not make it to Saturday. Godspeed. Echolalia

There we go.. didn't think we would go too long. That said, there is no better sight than to watch how frustrated that little ***** gets when #40 just owns him an entire game

oops. Sorry guys. Now that you say that, I totally see how it can be taken that way. But trust me, thats not the way I meant it at all. Apologies to the OP. Meant it to be like we're all jonesin for some hockey just like the OP said and have run out of things to post about. You know, like, "we've posted a thead on every single topic in the hockey world, I want to help get him out of his depression...but I can't think of anything we haven't already discussed...s***!" type of thing. Sorry to be such a dumbass. Sometimes my sense of humor does not transcend the internet. But more often, I'm just not that funny anyway.

Modano can just play on his 20years of nhl experience to get the job done on the pp, mark my words

Kronwall i would avoid playing the pk as much as possible just because of his injury history but then again he doesn't block a lot of shots and he wears a visor but still... i would also see how abdelkader could play the pk, i know i heard babcock talking about it as well..Also keep in mind that Miller might get traded/Waived, too.

Too bad he doesn't suck but he's a whiney little *****, however.

He hit the nail on the head there. Filppula is as good as his confidence will take him. That goal he scored from the outside of the circles last year against the coyotes last year is a perfect example of that.

perfect! I don't understand why people feel the need to even post when they're adding absolutely no substance to a thread... even if it's just a light-hearted, silly thread, such as this... if someone just wants to join a thread to be an ass, take it to another board...

You poor thing. Let's look at your options. 1) Take a large sheet of graph paper. Make a rink out of it with each square=1 square inch of ice surface. Calculate what blade curve would produce the best chance of scoring for each degree off of square that the shooter is off, based on the net, when shooting. Calculate the trajectory needed to hit each zone. Repeat with non-dominant hand for reference for other-handed players. Compare stats with Eva for verification. 2) Hang out in the Hottest Wings thread. Go back to the beginning- 700+ pages ago- and look at all of the pictures (most of which have been moved or expired). 3) Trace the genealogy of all major hockey players and determine which of their common relatives would produce the best hockey player. Find them and take samples of their reproductive starter kits. Mate them in a lab. Find women willing to carry them to term and raise them as the next generation of the Greatest Team on Earth. (see above suggestion for potential volunteer list) 4) Get back in the Water Cooler and finish your freakin' great adventure.

he fakes left... wait, he FAKES about faking left... WAIT, he fakes, FAKING, no he THINKS about faking, faking... I need to sit down...

Reading the thread title I immediately thought: This. Is. MOTOWN!

why post in here if you didn't even answer anything? oops...i just did it. dang. hahahah

Taking it to the next level, I've built a team with my picks: Kopitar - Lecavalier - Giroux Parise - Backstrom - Oshie E.Kane - M.Koivu - Samuelsson Moen - Horcoff - Clowe B. Richards J.Stall Lidstrom - Weber Keith - Kaberle Bouwmeester - Yandel Karlsson Miller Ludqvist

He'll get in. But it will soon be disallowed.

Yeah he played his college hockey here, i bet he is very high on the wings and could develope alot here

Would love that trade, but it's not very Kenny Holland'ish

I just don't see him as a scorer in the nhl, and therefore i'm not exactly intrigued seeing him on the wings' third line if Modano doesn't sign here...Hudler and Cleary deserves a better center imo.

Oddly enough there is some talent on LGW. We should create a league and play against other forum's teams.

I'm just suffering from a lack of sarcastic emoticons on my phone. I thought I would save him the trouble though.

I said floor. You wouldn't make it to the ice after EZBAKE made the fruitlessness of your effort abundantly clear in every one of a barrage of posts leading up to the game.

For hooon and mindfly. Exhibit A: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MytxhhimKqg Discuss.

Post count +1? That's all I've got.

Bruins - Bobby Orr Sabres - Pat Lafontaine Canadiens - Guy Lafleur Senators - Daniel Alfredsson Leafs - Wendel Clark Devils - Martin Brodeur Isles - Mike Bossy Rangers - Alexei Kovalev Flyers - John Leclair Penguins - Mario Lemieux Thrashers - na/ Hurricanes - Ron Francis Panthers - John Vanbiesbrouck Lightning - Chris Gratton Capitals - Alex Ovechkin Flames - Larry McDonald Avalanche - f*** each and every one of them Oilers - Mark Messier Wild - n/a Canucks - Pavel Bure Blackhawks - Tony Amonte Blue Jackets - n/a Red Wings - Steve Yzerman Predators - n/a Blues - Brett Hull Ducks - Dean Portman Stars - Mike Modano Kings - Jari Kurri Coyotes - n/a Sharks - Alex Korolyuk

Let's start a thread about... ... ... .... ... hmm.

Just been reading some stuff boaring offseason and its come to me that is having zetterbeg locked up tell 40 at such a high salary a god thing? i could be going crazy I dunno but it seems like this hurts the futcher. I mean having a 40 year old with a cap hit of around six million. Dont you guys think our team will be pretty bad with guys like Franzen and Zetterberg at a high cap hit around age 40.
