Randy Carlyle relieved of his duties by Leafs
Hack & Whack Rule! replied to Smite's topic in General
So Randy Carlyle is out of a job...I have two questions. 1) Does he have his own goalie pads? 2) How does he do in the shootout? I know he's a coach, but we need a goalie for shootouts...don't judge me. -
When you do that you are just some English pig with no brain at all yo
Hack & Whack Rule! replied to Jersey Wing's topic in General
Not a fan of the spear, and certainly not of the helmet throwing, but I like his intensity. -
Winter Classic lowest rating ever (2,3)
Hack & Whack Rule! replied to frankgrimes's topic in General
I hate to, but I agree with so much here. Yes, I think it's watered down. I'm surprised Bettman hasn't tried to have an outdoor game in Anaheim, that's how much I faith I have in him. There has to be some interest in the matchup, the game itself will not be enough all the time, but of course, there can't always be rivalries. The one thing I disagree with, to the point of having smoke coming from my ears, is the opening act. Does anyone remember Drake at the All Star Game a few years ago? That sucked so bad that I thought a Black Hole had formed in that arena. I don't even watch ASGs any more because of that. I can't bear to watch any other assholery that could ruin hockey as much as that. -
http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/gotta-see-it-jackman-kod-by-scotts-elbow-to-the-face/ I'm not sure if he actually meant to butt end him, or if it was just a reaction to the hit, and ended with a crappy result. Either way, if I were Tim Jackman, I'd be pissed. What do you guys think? Intentional or not? Will there be repurcussions?

John Scott Butt Ends Tim Jackman's Face

I've seen that...it hurts my face when I watch it. -
Does he come with his own goalie pads?

Matt Martin hit on Keith Ballard.. DIRTY
Hack & Whack Rule! replied to HadThomasVokounOnFortSt's topic in General
Ballard tried to roll and duck away from Martin. If there is any suspension, it's based on the result, not the action. How many times have people seen a penalty or a suspension that came about not because of the action, but the end result? Everyone hates it. Ballard should have taken the hit, but avoidance is an understandable reflex. As for the fact that a couple guys went after Martin, so that means it was dirty, is quite the stretch of the imagination. It happens all the time with clean hits these days. -
Hey all. I've been trying to figure out if Leafs fans are becoming whinier than normal, or if it's just becoming more visible. This garbage about the Leafs not saluting the fans after one game has me confused. I thought that the raising of the sticks in a salute was reserved for the final home game of the season...kind of a "thanks for the support this season" dealio. When did it become necessary for teams to do this after every game? Or is it just after a win? For the record, geography and timing has only allowed me to go to one game in the last twenty years, and that was in Edmonton. I turn off the tv as soon as the clock is done, so I never see if this actually happens now. By the way, a big shout out to the Oilers fans that booed the Oilers on the way to the dressing room (or whatever that was), and trying to make the Leafs fans look classier than they really are.

Good discussion, folks. I gotta admit that I'm falling in the "If it comes at the end of every game, it's hollow" group. I always thought it was a nice thing for them to do at the end of the season. My guess is that the Leafs fans an the Toronto media are both to blame for this one. Fans bitched a bit...media reported it to be bigger than it is...fans latched on and bitched louder...media reported the growing snowball...you get the picture.

Babcock "I don't think it will be my final year here"
Hack & Whack Rule! replied to trule23's topic in General
I'll admit that before last year, I was ready to see a change behind the bench. It didn't seem to me like there was motivation to continue doing a good job...from coach or players. Last season fixed that for me. What that team accomplished with the resources they had gave me one thought...60 more years for Babcock! -
Did the Wings change the font on their jerseys?
Hack & Whack Rule! replied to Branton87's topic in General
Okay, so did they actually change it? Just kidding...annual oblivious responder here. -
Las Vegas rumored to get an expansion team
Hack & Whack Rule! replied to Bannedforlife's topic in General
First guy: "Okay, we have a watered down league with a bunch of teams in markets that can't, or won't, support professional hockey...quick, make it worse!" Second guy: "Sure, let's put another team in the desert." -
If that's what is considered trash talk, this league is full of tooth fairies. Edit for wonkiness.

Ovechkin taken from arena in ambulance at World Championships
Hack & Whack Rule! replied to Jersey Wing's topic in General
This thread has hit all the major points...an injured hockey player, anti-German sentiment, dinosaurs, and asteroids, back to injured hockey player, and misinterpretation of, and overraction to, a comment. The webernet can shut down now. Glad Ovie's okay, though. -
I'll write one here for Anaheim... f*** you, Anaheim. That is all.
-
Yep, I agree completely. That deal with Marchand was completely ridiculous. Of course, all the other stuff is too. Pittsburgh and Chicago seem to have team policies that require douchieness. It makes it tough for me to watch hockey any more. The league doesn't seem to want to clean things up a whole lot. Matt Cooke is still in the league...I can't figure that one out. Detroit is one of the classy teams, though. You don't see the intentional cheap shots, diving, or embellishing. You stay classy, Detroit.

Franzen! What an a-hole. -
gdt ECQF - Game 5 - Red Wings at Bruins - 3:00 PM EST
Hack & Whack Rule! replied to MabusIncarnate's topic in General
I haven't been reading this thread, so this may have been said already...I think we're done for year with this game. We're on the power play and it looks even strength. There isn't one aspect of this team right now that is standing out. The goaltending, offense, defense, power play, penalty kill...it all looks like s***. -
I liked Monster in Game 4...well, except for the loss. The loss wasn't all on him, though, so whatevs. To me, he looked solid and about 87 billion times more confident than Howard. If Jimmy does have a concussion, I hope he gets better quickly.
-
Franzen is lazy and he sucks! Now that I've got that off my chest, I think he is lazy. Since he got his 300 year contract, I can't help but see it. I don't think I'm alone in this either. The fact that he is lazy because of his 300 year contract, is the reason he sucks. Finding the mesh a few times does not make up for the floating he does. It doesn't make up for the fact that in game 4 it looked like he was shooting the puck with a shovel. At least Cleary digs deep, and look at the pile of poop that gets thrown on him.

Died a couple weeks ago...a day or two after Wrestlemania when they inducted him into the HoF.
-
I find it weird that you picked a picture of two dead guys...I don't know why I find that weird, I just do.
-
How do we know what's been asked of Jurco? Maybe his isn't even coming close to what's been asked. Babcock is slightly more knowledgable than I am in matters such as these, but I don't have much of an issue with this swap anyway. It lets the guys know that he willing to shake things up a bit.

GDT ADQF | Game 3 | Boston 3 @ Detroit 0, BOS leads series 2-1
Hack & Whack Rule! replied to FlashyG's topic in General
It looked like they thought the period was over. They seem to have given up.
