See this is what i'm talking about Potentially 2 years until the next season? Come on...

Yeah I mean the show is brilliant, it really is. The wait between season 2 and 3 was very painful, and we still didn't get a straight answer about how the conclusion of season 2 was pulled off... I also like the fact that episodes are 90 minutes so each is like a movie because of the quality of story and acting, you forget you are watching a television program, it's just that good. I just want more Sherlock over a shorter span of time.

This has been stated numerous times in different Olympic threads lately, and I will repeat what the other Mods have stated in this thread as well. Keep threads on topic, and keep political discussion out of them. No politics. Politics and political discussion of any form is prohibited. Keep it about hockey, keep it about the NHL, and do not derail it further. Thanks.

Three episodes only is a bit of a tease, I wish they would extend it to 6 at least. This season was a bit different, had some unique twists and I enjoyed it as much as any previous but I am always left wanting more by the end of it and don't feel entirely fulfilled.

Good for them, take some time off, get a tan, and don't drink the water. As far as where they are or where they might be staying, I have no idea and i'm not entirely sure if that's something they would disclose. I've never been there myself. This reminded me of a old photoshop I made a while back, dug it up for the occasion. Not any of the guys above but still reasonably humorous.

In my opinion it loses a tremendous amount of entertainment value overall but I can understand why they are pulling out. 2014 may be a historical last year with NHL players being involved, enjoy it while it's here because who knows when it might happen again.

I'm a late nighter, and I was up last night watching the Sweden vs Japan women's game. I gotta say, comparatively speaking and considering the last time the Japan women competed and were outscored 45-2 in the games, they were reasonably impressive last night. The final score was 1-0 which is by no means a blowout. Sweden played a bit better and controlled a lot of the game, but Japan stuck right with them for most of it and it was a relatively entertaining 3rd period. The fact that I was watching Sweden vs Japan women's hockey also speaks volumes about how eager I am for Olympic hockey this year. I'm pretty excited for the men's events to begin.

Its the opposite during modern hockey, how excellent Howard was last game is already a distant memory and it's back to bashing. The harsh life of being a goalie on fan forums.

Everything in general, the frustration of the fans, the tone of the forums lately, and the players not involved getting a break. Howard likely won't be playing much either. As much as I love the NHL and the Wings I welcome the break to watch a different kind of hockey for a couple of weeks.

Tough break. Bring on the Olympics, maybe the time off will do some good.

Nope, but i'm hearing mixed reviews. I'm not big on the pay-per-month subscription types of games like WOW so it's likely one i'm not going to get into myself. I found a pretty excellent alternative for those of you who have played and beaten Skyrim inside and out.. it's called Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. It plays more like Fable as a 3rd person action RPG but has the depth and massive scale of Skyrim. The game is enormous, there are countless amounts of things to do, it has sagecraft, alchemy, blacksmithing, and just about everything else Skyrim has to offer. I am currently 30 hours into the game as I picked it up for $10 a week ago, and I have only seen 1 of 5 regions of the game and feels like i've barely scratched the surface. For anyone looking for another tremendously sized RPG to get into it I can't recommend it enough, I am personally loving the game and not sure how I didn't get into it earlier. Downsides are the storyline is a bit weak, there is repetitiveness in quests (as with most if not all RPGs) and it isn't nearly on an epic of a scale as Skyrim. With that said, it's everything I always wished Fable would have been and it's quickly becoming a console favorite of mine. Give it a look.

Yeah I was thinking along the lines of Evil Knievel also, like stunt bike rider helmet. Reflecting what some said above, I hope he does get a chance to wear it.

This does not involve the Red Wings, Hockey, or the NHL, hence it was moved to The Water Cooler. As previously stated with Olympic threads this year, tread lightly as a turn into political discussion in any form will see this thread locked as well. With that said, i'm glad there was a resolution and no one was hurt.

Edler has since had some injury issues and not been quite on his game. To me that says more eager to be dealt from Vancouver and a potentially cheaper asking price.

I couldn't resist...

I'm generally the optimist fan, always in high spirits, confident, and faithful in this team. I gotta say, watching all the games this season, I believe the offense can get the job done if we are entirely healthy. The defense... without adding at least one more impact defender, ideally a top 2, It's hard for me to visualize a deep run in the playoffs this year. We have too many average defenders that make average defender mistakes that prove to be costly in playoffs as we saw in the series against Chicago last year. If we can land one more good/great defenseman, the sky is the limit once playoffs start and who knows what can happen. As it sits now it's very hard for me to remain confident.

I'm not all familiar with medical stuff like this, but I didn't think a stroke at his age was even all that common. What a terrifying ordeal, I wish the best for him and his health going forward. From what I understand a stroke can lead to partial paralysis on one side of the body but this isn't always the case. You can have a stroke and still retain full function of your body afterwards.

This is a photoshop I did for The Xym but deemed it appropriate for this thread. I'm loving seeing him grow more confident and produce, here's to more years with Nyquist as one of our top Wingmen.

Joy to the world... we beat the Panthers!!

Holy clutch friggin save batman!

I think a lot of people have trouble grasping that even the worlds most top level elite goalie is going to struggle and have bad games. It's just going to happen. They will struggle at times, they will slump, they will have a bad stretch. Laying it out simply, he isn't an elite goalie, but he's a great goalie. Like any NHL goalie, he has his ups and he has his downs. For whatever the reason expectations for him to be top level and elite every single game resulting in a 60-0-0 regular season record is unrealistic as a hockey fan, yet he continues to get more grief than praise. This is just where I stand and how I see it, opinions differ and clash, but that's where I stand and I remain confident with Howard as our starting netminder for upcoming seasons.

Corngoalieo is not pleased with that PP

GUS!!!
