Re: NHL season 2008-09

[Cynosure]

suck it, rags

 

yea they got man handled. Don't know how that was the game of the week though. NBC should have shown NJ/SJ that game was actually a fun game to watch.

 

nobody cares about those two teams. well some people do, but the flyers and rangers are both higher-profile.

 

The Devils and the Sharks are damn near the best in each conference whereas the Rangers/Flyers have pretty much been brutal since the break. Flyers are .400 and the Rangers .250... gotta do the eye test, Devils/Sharks was the right call today and they blew it.

 

Flyers are a great young team like the Hawks, but If I had a chance to watch a Hawks/Blues game on National TV or a Boston/Detroit game or any other combination of the top teams... it would be that. I know it's a home bias watching your team on national TV... but overall you gotta be smart and take the hot teams.

 

NBC had a chance to do Sharks/Devils and PULLED it for NYR/PHIL.

 

Oh well, was a nice shellacking to watch... but I would have rather watched the 6-5 shootout if it wasn't my team.

Put the best team in the NHL on TV? What kind of stupid idea is that Cyno? :)

unless nbc is more concerned about tv ratings, in which case they made the right call.

wrong. they had a choice as to which game to show and chose the rangers/flyers game, they didn't originally schedule the sharks/devils game and then pull the plug on it. i guess they foolishly decided to air a game that more people would tune in and watch.

You don't need to rain on my parade just because the Flyers aren't as good.

Richards appears to have broken his wrist in Dallas' game against Columbus tonight.

Little karma for Ott's antics the other night with Sharp?

 

Also, another nice home win for the Blues tonight against NYR. These guys are sticking around, and must really be kicking themselves for those bad losses last week against Vancouver and Nashville. With those four points they would be right in the middle of that scrum in the west.

[Cynosure]

Oh boy Anze, where do I start?

Is that even a question?

[Cynosure]

Ok ok Anze, maybe I spoke too soon :)

 

Brutal defense, though.

[Drew Doughty]

what a ridiculous game

 

i can't believe we somehow didn't pull 2 points out of that, but still. what a game.

[Cynosure]

Oh and I forgot to mention that Matt Schneider (ATL Defenceman) sent to Montreal for draft picks.

[Cynosure]

What an awful schedule for tonight other than Calgary/Vancouver.

 

This is like throwaway night for the NHL.

I think this is a nice pick up for Montreal. Schneider is a solid offensive d-man who plays good positional defense. He is getting a little old and not what he was 5 yrs ago, but still a solid pick up. I am pretty sure he started his career in Montreal.

And good lord... look how that game turned out, epic.

 

Kippy with the save of the year, easily. It sucks when both teams had no defense in front of them... but by God... incredible save by Kippy.

[Drew Doughty]

Alex Ovechkin is some kind of amazing. Watch the highlights of his first (just in case, since it's only 1-1 right now) goal against Montreal tonight when you can.

Goal of the year.

Anze.... combined goals:

 

5 or under

 

or

 

6 or over

 

For the Kings/Ducks game?

 

I'm going like a 3-2 final either way because of the Mighty Trappers.

[Drew Doughty]

sorry lol

 

the last 3 minutes, after kunitz's goal, were pretty textbook on how to win a game though. probably the first time i've said that about the kings this year.
