On HFBoards/Canucks, one poster responded to today's Allain Vineualt (sp?) firing by stating, "I'm so happy I could riot".  Classic.

That's what I get for coming in on the tail end of the conversation. Please pardon me. Carry-on

 

 

 

Somewhere, The Professor is grinning ear to ear as he looks approvingly over his glasses.

I couldn't believe it when Cleary opted for the dropback pass instead of the close in shot on the gaping five hole.  Nyquist or Tatar  would have drilled it home.

Clears was great!  Played his heart out.

I watch those jokers all the time and there is no one on that team I want as a red wing.  Kessler dividedthe  locker room this year and he is too much of a weirdo to be on the wings.  

They all have piss poor attitudes and don't have enough class.   There is a reason they got swept this year.

Zetterberg has not shot the same since he injured his back years ago.  

Was listenning to the Team 1040 Vancouver tonite on my way to Dairy Queen after the game.(Burrp-excuse me)   When they asked which series they would all prefer to watch in Round 2, one of the guys said it wasn't so much as which series, rather which players.

 

"When it comes to playoff hockey, I have a man crush on Zetterberg and Datsyuk.  No one I'd rather watch than those two."

Just having Bertuzzi out there makes everyone on the Wings a little bit bigger.

It's only 8:30 out here, I'm going to Dairy Queen.

 

And no limit tonite!

Wasn't today supposed to be decision day?

 

 

I know, I've got so much stuff to do but instead I'm sitting here tapping the F5 all day...I've never even seen the kid play...

Without getting into a politcal debate, the President may not get paid a base salary as much as Cory, ie however he get's many more perks paid for by the taxpayers.

 

I was making the obvious point that even a low level guy like Emmerton makes more moey than he could possibly make dong anything else.  After 5 -10 yrs of making a few million a year, I could certainly retire to a womderful life and fill it full of growth and development. 

Not sure where you were trying to go with your post.  Maybe Obama is too polarizing of a figure for me to have referenced.

Carmen is spot on.  I went to UM and got an Econ Major, Poli Sci Minor because I wanted to learn how the world works.   The Econ material was educational, but the Political Science was pure unadulterated indoctrination as oppossed to growth and development.

 

Yes, the NHL is a major committment with major scrifice, but so is everything that comes with that pay scale.  Cory Emmerton is getting paid more than the President of the United States of America.

Absolutely and the proof is in the pudding. I'm sorry but there is zero percent chance Larry Murphy taped that Nashville intro while under the influence, yet he still was rambling, mumbling, and falling over his own words. He simply just had a little trouble getting what he wanted out sometimes. I can do the same thing time to time, I can understand this. Anyone does. He just did it at a more accelerated rate which makes me think he actually had a problem. I don't think awkwardness played a huge role, but it could have been influential. He did play professional hockey in front of millions, and has been on the air for over 10 years now, I can't say he still has the jitters being in-front of the camera.

 

I think the biggest thing is what VM just said. I would HATE for these rumors to get into the media and run rampant.  

 

 

 

Personally, this is exactly part of the appeal of Larry Murphy;  he's an NHL veteran, not a polished broadcaster.  He knows hockey and has real observations and real comments and doesn't necessarily care how things look or sound to people.  Thats what I want in my Red Wings TV experience.  

There is already a big void when Mickey makes a laughing inside joke type remark...about officiating or old time hockey, or whatever...murph was always a great sidekick, always there to add to Mickey's line of thinking...making it even more funny...now it's a one and done comment as Daniels continues to call the play by play without commenting...

 

There's obviously more to the story than we know.

Someone started an online petition, not sure how much weight these things carry but here you go:
