Flip-check

I like J Mac, I love the city of Boston, and therefore I'd be tempted to check out the game on a livefeed... but between two playoff knock-outs, I'm not sure it'd be enough. We'll be getting Tim Thomas in net the day after. I figured those of you who follow the Mac a bit'd be interested though. Hopefully he has a good game against the Flyers!

Way to go, Boston. Duff up another game for Joey Mac, the kid that can't catch a break for his life. You let the Flyers romp and stomp all over you, who ever does that? Douchebags. I'm officially naming Boston a sister city to D-town. It's done, we are spiritually united on two fronts.

Bring it, *****! I've got a gel pen right here with your name on it, Marcus. Feds might ghostwrite for me after the game too.

Find something, you loser! Go out and wreck the town I don't think it is... or any livefeeds either. Maybe someone should check out the Pred forums and see if they got any links we don't know about...

Hold up there HR! I am acting as Crymson's lawyer here, he will not be answering any of your questions currently! But let me ask you this: could he not simply find this information on Wikipedia? There you go. I will not have you slandering my client. And even if he did allegedly watch it... I'm certain it was for purely sacrificial reasons, along the same line of men going to see Music and Lyrics with their girlfriends. Seriously. (But that said, yeah, I saw the diaries. Don't remember a lick about it though )

Definitely. I didn't account for a throat shot, but you're right. It's been a while since I've heard of any stickwielding maniacs out there... honestly, the last one was a high school incident, I think. It's bizarre when someone flips out like that.

You crazy canuck, trying to fool LGW into thinking it's October! It won't work. And dammit, we don't need Feds, but everytime I see him I want that underproducing guy back. And to see if he might start working magic again even at 37. Offsides' avatar of him with the Cyrillic (eh?) keeps hounding me. I hope Columbus takes it tonight.

I don't think he could have killed him. Hockey sticks definitely aren't baseball bats, they weren't even as deadly when they were wood. It's a different intensity of impact. It is very much in its own category compared to sucker punches though.

Nah, I just mean "I don't got it no mo'". I'm sure there're enough other people who still got that same pic in their houses somewhere.

I think that's going overboard too. It doesn't call for that kind of punishment. Like harold and others have said though, yeah, 22 games is weak, man. Especially with a repeat.

If you aren't leaning forward, you're gold! I don't even know if that'd cause the net to tilt on its moorings--it's got enough weight on the back to just sit there.

Like... I remember it, but that's about eleven years ago so yeah, it's totally gone. It was a pretty funny/cheesy photo though.

Yeah, that poll sucks. Thornton isn't going to get near the Art Ross either, that's why I didn't care about it.

I don't follow (and honestly, don't really care) about the Bertuzzi and Moore legal issue, so this is more a comment on the handling of this in general. That said, I'm sure there's a saying somewhere... that likely goes along the line of "you may feel sorry for an act all you want, but until you work toward reparation, you have not felt sorry at all." So in other words, crying in the dark of night five minutes before bed ain't squat. And where do you get the idea that it's about "paying someone off to make yourself feel all better"? Financial settlements, when they're valid (yeah, they exist), aren't greedfests and oughtn't have any more a negative connotation to them than the plaintiff brings himself if they go for a ridiculous reward sum. How would you suggest making amends in cases then? With love letters? And then after that, when you go to the grocery store, could management possibly be persuaded to accept "very positive" feedback forms in return for food? I wager not. That's how real damages and real repairs work. It isn't about being "paid off" (as you say). And sibiriak makes another note on limiting amounts and fairness, but he got to it so I won't parrot the question . Suffice to say though when you accidentally break your buddy's mediocre tv you don't give him a $3000 new set, but you definitely don't hand him a cheap used $30 one either. That's what fair shakes are about.

Per bostonbruins.com it looks like he's still a Bru-wing.

I kind of did too, but since Boston's still fighting for a playoff berth, I guess they won't risk it. I don't know anything about Thomas... but apparently he's their clear starter. It would be the better game for the Mac to be in, though. He'll get less attention even if he plays his heart out in Philly: if he got a fair shake with the Bruins D in a game against Detroit's guns, totally different story.

I think you just tried to extend a hand of self-esteem charity there HR... and still wound up serving up a slap instead. Go play with lego battleships while the psychiatrists sort out that aftermath. Go on, go on!

Here, reebok. Have a little Hank. (When you look at it, he definitely looks midgety! Optical illusions tally-ho!)

I remember that one most too, though it isn't the worst one in my mind. It put me at being about twelve, and Ozzie's misplay on the puck and the subsequent goal... it was heartrending. And I remembered the fact that he cried over it too. The next memorable playoff out to me was '92-'93... not for any exact qualifying reason... but simply because despite losing to them, it was the last time we'd ever see the Wings face the Maple Leafs in the post-season. =p Man, change the conferences and get this stuff back together NHL, pronto.

I'd like it if you were Joey Kocur instead of Z, for what it counts.

hahaha! #91 scores! Oh, wait! Lebda! !!!!!

If you hand señor Roberto Lango one of these and an invite to find a new career in the world of construction, would he miss the joke? Or would he catch it and punch you in the face? "Only men at work wear these, mi amigo. Not hockey players turned failed singer-songwriter/turned failed actor/turned successful loaf of cheese with skates. Seriously.. can't you hear can't you hear the thunder?" But enough ripping on Bob, though it is fun. And apparently those smelling salt treatments are bringing him out of his coma besides. I just spotted this on the NHL store and thought it was the bizarrest thing ever. Why, NHL retail merchandisers, why?

That's what's a little crazy about Lids, I agree. You don't notice him out there... even when he pulls off a crucial takeaway when someone's bearing down on him and the net with three minutes left. You just see the play, you don't see him really exerting much to do it. But yeah, it's also like Soupguru and rwfan said. It's that simple textbookness and zero risk in his game: this makes him one of the steadiest d-men in the league.

hahaha. It's ok, it's the thought that counts or so they say. Ziggy was awesome. I don't remember him all that well.... and with a shoulder that hasn't gotten better with two surgeries, I don't expect him coming back. Or anywhere near his playing capacity when he was fine. I'd say that Slovak media thing is nothing more than catching a whiff of nothing.

Seriously, that's a jump with all that gear on! Even a player'd have some trouble. It's ridiculously funny seeing him up there. Love it!
