    islanders new jerseys

    The number on the front just makes it look too cluttered. Other than that, I like the changes they made.
  2. After looking at those pictures, I have to say that any comments about the tips of the wings on the logo being snubbed a bit were false. It looks the same to me. Might just be a replica thing.

    Hockey Socks

    Anyone know where I can find one a Reebok jockstrap made out of the new material? Anyone have any pics of the new Wings jock they're using? I hear they have the NHL logo on the tip.

    Bowman AGAIN denies having contact

    What's this "IF" they iced a team of monkeys?

    Uniwatch Blog

    Yeah, I never noticed that either until I read it there. I even picked up on a broadcast, here in Cali, that they were using both versions in different logo graphics. Seems like nobody knows which the official one is.
  7. What's more amazing than the fact that the same fake mockup appears on this site about every week is that people actually believe the Wings organization would release such a crude sketch as their "official" jersey. It just baffles me every time I see this same thread.

    Words between Bowman and crawford

    This is the worst thread ever. "Oh yeah I'm reading it" "Yeah, I'm reading it too" "Oh, you're ready it, I'm reading it for second time"....can someone just post the damn thing...read the friggen poster's question.

    Jiri Fischer

    The more interesting and parallel question is would we have signed Markov last season? EDIT:I should read first "I think that the more likely scenario would be that we wouldn't be even talking with Markov if Fischer were still around, in fact we probably would never have gotten him in the first place...."

    Dan Cloutier video

    What was more bizarre than giving assets up for him is that they signed him to a substantial extension before he played one regular season game for them. My take on the situation is that Crawford really likes him on a personal level and most likely made a demand of Lombardi.

    I'd let pucks whiz by me and look like a complete ass and have people despise me for a few million a year.

    We lose Hussey too

    I think he means that we're going to lose badly because we don't have Hussey; therefore we're getting good draft picks....sarcastically of course.

    "We have no interest in him -- I mean zero"

    OK, I see your point, and agree. The burlap sack isn't in the equation if the chick is known to be hot. I guess my point is that the turtleneck, being a somewhat pompous article of clothing when worn by men (especially a black one), magnifies his prickness. So, in essence you're correct. But, the turtleneck bears a certain negative stigma as being worn by a$$holes, and Yashin is just fulfilling that stigma. Good talk....good talk. This has been, by far, the best debate I've been involved in for a long time....lol. And we're all starting to see what a whiny prick he is now.

    "We have no interest in him -- I mean zero"

    I disagree. A hot chick in a burlap sack, given that I had no prior knowledge of her, would not appear hot because I wouldn't be able to see other aspects of her that may change my opinion. She could be a porker with a hot face in the burlap sack. So, the impression of her would remain if I never saw her in any other light. And if she did turn out to be a porker, it would most likely have an affect on any other woman I saw in a burlap sack. In Yashin's case, he is the only player who wears a turtleneck, and is indeed a prick. So, the impression is that the turtleneck under the jersey is associated with being a prick. If Yzerman had arrived after Yashin, and joined the turtleneck brigade, it might be assumed that he's a prick too.

    "We have no interest in him -- I mean zero"

    Good turtleneck useage: Bad turtleneck useage: It just makes him look like a dillhole.

    "We have no interest in him -- I mean zero"

    It's not just the fact that Yashin is a big prick, but the fact that he has to wear a turtleneck to top off his prick attitude. Why not just throw the friggen sweater over your shoulders to finish off the image?

    Returning to our Early 90's roots?

    Off Wikipedia, so take it for what it's worth. "Cheveldae is currently training to become a firefighter."

    Returning to our Early 90's roots?

    Cheveldae is younger than Hasek. EDIT:I don't think he's in as good of shape though.
  20. Jessica Alba hooked up with and dated (don't know if they're still together) a production assistant, so don't underestimate yourself. EDIT:sorry, a personal assitant to a director....basically, lower than a production assistant.
  21. I don't believe Lindros is eligible for an performance bonus contract.

    Any News on the Instigator Rule

    I didn't say I want a love-fest with the man. He's a moron in my opinion. But, wanting to eliminate fighting is something people can't pin on him.

    Any News on the Instigator Rule

    Actually, Bettman isn't opposed to fighting and doesn't want to eliminate it. Bettman Speaks on Fighting

    Holland: Free Agent Shopping is Probably Done

    The Kings are banking on LaBarbera pulling a Miller out of the AHL. Granted, LaBarbera has seen his share of NHL time already. Otherwise, they're stuck with Beachball.
