In 10 to 15 years the NHL will look like women's Hockey.

Or a third or fourth line for that matter.

I'll be rooting hard tonight, but if they blow another 2 goal lead my TV might not survive.

That we can agree on, and sorry wasn't trying to be an ass.

Is Weiss still hurt? I thought it was a one game thing?

Just because you keep shaking up the lines doesn't mean you will strike gold. To do that you have to shake up the players not just the lines you put them on. The only guy that can fix a linemate is probably Datsyuk and even then it took Abby months to score his first goal playing with Datsyuk on the same line.

Pick a news station, whether its cnn or fox or msnbc or any other news station that you watch, neither one of them would give credence to such a report which was part of my statement. It would be reported but dismissed as a conspiracy theory even if they cover it 24/7. They would not keep passing it off as fact just another conspiracy theory and the person saying it would get clobbered non-stop. And please In the future if you decide to quote me don't just pick out the statements that suit you, quote the entire post in context.

I'm an optimistic guy but when the team constantly underperforms its tough to stay optimistic.

Remember what Robin Sparkles said "beavers are noble creatures"

I'm with you, but I'd like to see Goalies serve their own penalties.

If speaker Boehner or Obama come out saying that Russia passed the anti *** rights bill just so that US Olympians can't come to the Olympic Games I'd be all over that too. But no one in their right minds would say that and CNN would definitely not cover it like it was a plot. Political climate all over the world are different and politicians do cater to their constituents which in its own right is kinda sad. But if we wanted to discuss world politics I'm sure we would be in a different forum. With my first post I was simply pointing out the coverage this situation was getting in Russia. Whether politically motivated or not the comments got more attention than they deserved.

Yeah, but you can say that about anything. I'm still shocked that Don Cherry has any credibility left with anyone.

Not talking about credibility more about the incoherence that comes out of peoples mouths.

I agree they nobody should take Perviy kanal seriously and I also know that the common people and anyone with half a brain never believed the comments. But whether we like it or not Perviy kanal is kinda the face of Russian news around the world and it just bugs me that this garbage gets spewed out into the universe. As should you because it makes us look bad.

And the wings have three little piggies:Sammy, Cleary, and Franzen.

Didn't you hear? If we were in the West we would be Undefeated.

Is it just me or do the statues look like Ovechkin.

So reading the first paragraph Holland is essentially saying he built a club that can't win the Cup because they're not good enough to beat the Western Conference teams. As far as the "The wings are still learning about the Eastern Conference" quote, that is just a cop out. They are playing like crap because they're playing like crap not because they moved to the East. They tried that but the other teams just laughed.

It wasn't just one and when the main Russian news station keeps repeating it and doesn't discount the comment, it gives it credence wether it's one moron saying it or everyone. And dude I was born there so I have plenty of perspective about what the Russian government or the government controlled media say.

Zach Greinke has had problems with anxiety and he's pitched great. As far as Franzen goes I'm not in love with somebody making assumptions about a persons mental health. Malik can't know something like that without being told or being a part of the situation. Leave the psycho-analyzing to the professionals.

Do you really want Holland to make a move? His last big trade was Quincy.

Then they bumped into each other and the wings fell on Cleary.

The only thing Quincey can defend is a plate of hot wings.

Kenny's best acquisition... Quincey!

What's simply amazing is a lot of the Russian media and politicians saying that this was a setup and that the U.S. Is trying to keep Varlamov out of the Olympics.
