How many games has Rafalski played? How many times has he shot the frickin' puck into the feet or the blade of an opponent. WHEN is he supposed to learn not to do that? What's it gonna take? Right now he's the most disappointing player on the team and I've felt the same way in the past. He's good. But invariably he gives the puck right back, gift-wrapped and tied in a ribbon to the opponents. He absolutely drives me frickin' berserk. I wish Babcock would sit him for a week. Yeah I know it's not going to happen but oh, how I wish it could. Meanwhile, whoever said Ozzie's going to have to get a shutout to win his 400th was right on. A three-on-one at the end of the game. Way to go boyz. Way to support. :nonono: :puke:

Welcome back, Sharkfan. I'm hoping we keep winning, but nothing's guaranteed. I also checked out your GDT and it was fun. You have some intelligent, funny people on there, too.

THANK YOU! And happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to you too!

Agreed. I recently watched a Wings' game on FSD+ HD and it was fine. I don't even think it was a Deetroit feed. I gotta admit I was pleasantly surprised because in the past they've been really bad, visually.

Great job as always, HT but I could not vote for the NHL all-stars. I'm already registered on there but they kept giving me new codes to type in. After about eight of 'em, I gave up. Grrrr.... P.S. Too bad about Jackman not playing, eh? I wonder who he kneed this time to hurt his knee...

I really, REALLY appreciate Hockeytown starting this thread and your description, Heaten. I'm still smiling. PEE on the Pens.

AND they played last night and won big. So they'll relax tonight. ..Can we go with that? I must admit I sort of miss the old days when I would foam at the mouth at the very mention of their name. Ah yez, kids. Where is the Turtle when we need him?

Personally, I think he should test its flexibility by wrapping it around his neck. I am so sick of The Marketing of Sidney Crosby that I could puke pucks.

That was different. I thought I heard his name and then it sounded like fans started booing. Were they saying "Suh", or were they booing the call on Stuart?

Keep that crystal ball polished, babee!

Had to listen to the Pitts' announcers the other night because they were the only ones available. I got a kick out of their 180-degree description of stick-holding. When the other guy did it, it was a blatant penalty. When their guy did it, he was just holding it up high enough so the refs could see it and call interference. I think our guys are really quite unbiased, and Mickey especially gets on our guys for iffy play. And they both praise other teams' players. The only thing that's frustrating about Mickey is that he interrupts Ken and Larry way too often. It's like he's not really listening and plows right on with whatever he thinks is important at the moment. Other than that, I think they're two of the best out there. I also like Doc Emrich (sp?). But I really miss Clement and Thorne. And ESPN. EDIT: Mebee I should have posted this in the "stupid stuff announcers say"...?! The hell with it. I meant well.

Babcock needs to do whatever is necessary to see that Ozzie gets his 400th, and he's got plenty of time to get it done. Whoever the coach would have been at this point in time, it's now a mandate. This team owes him that.

He indeed made some slick passes tonight.

Mebee Homer could redirect some of Helm's shots into the net. Your wish was their command.

I was yelling at him in the 3rd period when he should have shot the damn puck instead of trying to pass it into a crowd. As far as I know he's still speaking to me.

Breaks my heart hearing that Jackman is out. My very favorite cheapshot-after-the-whistle hero. Somebody got him back, I'm hoping. However, kudos to your team for the time being.

Me too, Mindfly. I'd willingly give up other stuff I'm used to having to do just that. And when I read where posters ***** about the same old music, etc. at every game I cannot help but roll my eyes. Re: Rafalski being in tonight. :colorbounce:

Once again I want to thank you for all your time and effort in putting this together. I don't know when you added the opponent's GDT, but that is a cool, added perspective.

There's mostly nice, crisp passing out there and more shooting by more players. Our boyz are lookin' good. On the other hand I think Edmonton should be willing to chip in for more hamsters and wheels because they definitely need better lighting. It's either that or they gotta stay away from gray water for their ice. Or else it's true that this feed - even the HD feed - sucks pucks.

Our Directv guide says it's also gonna be offered in HD on the 664 channel. I can only hope...

Yeup. They've always been known as the six surly Sutters.

GO, MAD MIKEY!!! :colorbounce: : And his old team is beating the crap out of the Pens 5-1 with about 13 minutes to go in the 3rd!!

THANKS!!

Once again our belief in this team is reaffirmed. On every level this team and its leaders shine like a beacon in the night. And I have gained some perspective on my own "problems" just from reading all this and seeing the photos. I wish your brother and you and your whole family the very best. There's ALWAYS hope. HUGS to you all.

Yes indeedy, that is hilarious. :nonono:
