Goon Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 The Philadelphia Flyers are absolutely en fuego! What about Paint Drying? The Dead Things? Quote
MafiaMan Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 What about Paint Drying? The Dead Things? 5th in the Atlantic. Not a great season thus far. They'll pick it up...I hope. 1 Quote
Goon Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 5th in the Atlantic. Not a great season thus far. They'll pick it up...I hope. I was looking at the standings in the East vs. the West and it doesn't look good right now. Quote
farce poobah Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Vancouver is also en fuego, but in a different kind of way. A melting down kind of way. Last night getting blown up 9-1 by Anaheim. That included picking 2 fights with 7 minutes left and giving Anaheim 7 minutes of 5x3. (Yeah, I'm smiling inside. It couldn't be happening to a more worthy team.) Quote

I saw the very end of that game and it was funny watching the Canucks melt down. And now that they've hired Tortorella to captain that sinking ship - what a great combo! Quote

And now that they've hired Tortorella to captain that sinking ship - what a great combo! He's not just captaining it. He's making sure the magazines explode with the ammunition aboard. (What kind of lunatic tries to go into the opponent locker room between periods to pick a fight? And how predictable was it that Calgary could get Tortorella that far off his game just by starting their 4th line?) Monday, he gets an in person hearing with NHL brass, following which a fine and suspension are almost a certainty. Next step will be Gordon Lightfoot writing a song about the wreck of the Vancouver Canucks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vST6hVRj2A Quote
Goon Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) I am in the process of reading The Code: The Unwritten Rules of Fighting and Retaliation in the NHL. What an awesome book. Edited January 27, 2014 by Goon Quote

Goon Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) With foreword by Dave K? I don't know about that, he has his lips firmly on the ass of Mr. Anti-hockey Fight Adam Proteau. Edited January 27, 2014 by Goon Quote
scpa0305 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 So I know I was arguing with someone on here awhile back about P. Bergeron being a top 10 player in the NHL due to his all around game....J. Taveras may agree with me. http://prohockeytalk...-in-the-league/ 1 Quote
Goon Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Fiction can be fun, but I find the truth to be more enlightening : http://www.amazon.co...g/dp/1118092228 In Mr. Proteau's book you will find facts and evidence that prove false beyond a shadow of a doubt all of the propaganda that is spewed in that silly book that you're currently reading. Funny his book didn't get very good reviews. I like this one the best. Now with the subtitle of the book, it should come as no surprise that this book is anti-fight and violence. I wanted to read it to gain an alternative viewpoint into the issue. This book takes a holier-than-thou approach to the issue and does a paltry attempt to address the other side of the coin. This book insults your intelligence at times and feels as if the author goes out of his way to prove his point (also some factual mistakes as well). This book was actually frustrating to read. Not a book as much as an essay trying to provide one argument without addressing the other side... actually there was one chapter to address common points made by pro-fighters, but the author makes the questions sound like they come from the lowest common denominator. I have read nearly all modern hockey books and this was one of the most disappointing. Quote
Blackheart Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Way to cherry pick a single review that matches your narrow-minded opinion. Funny how you didn't choose this one: Adam Proteau and I have never seen eye-to-eye politically, however, Proteau knows hockey and he also understands that if anything is truly killing our sport, it is on ice violence. The "old guard" will argue until they are blue in the face that violence & fighting need to be a part of the game, but AP puts the arguments to rest. You left the name off your review...Adam Proteau's Mom Quote
Blackheart Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Adam Proteau and his mom have never seen eye to eye politically? Ummmm... nice try (sort of). C'mon Dave, lighten up! 1 Quote
MafiaMan Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Montreal defeated Boston 4-1 earlier tonight and Pittsburgh is currently leading LA 3-1 at the end of the 1st. What a great day for hockey! Will you be wearing your Crosby #87 Canada jersey for the Sochi games? Quote
Ray77 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Montreal defeated Boston 4-1 earlier tonight and Pittsburgh is currently leading LA 3-1 at the end of the 1st. What a great day for hockey! HA - man, that's funny. Boston was just on a 4 game winning streak and had won 5 of their last 6 (their only loss was a shootout loss to the Blackhawks) and they also outscored their opponents 28-16 in that stretch, yet DaveK finds it necessary to come out here and specifically call out 1 loss and call it a great day for hockey! I think we know who has an obsession with a particular sports team from the New England area. If you look up "troll" in the dictionary you will find a picture of DaveK. Quote

MafiaMan Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Crosby is a living legend.....fact. Mario Lemieux is a living legend. Sidney couldn't carry his jock strap. Quote

scpa0305 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Mario Lemieux is a living legend. Sidney couldn't carry his jock strap. I'm pretty sure Mr. Lemieux would disagree with you. Tough for me to say because Lemieux is my guy guy. For the record....Mario used to draw penalties with the best of them...diving, pulling opponents stick up around his face, etc all to draw penalties. Quote

Ray77 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Glass houses, my friend... glass houses. I am no more obsessed with a particular sports team from the New England area than you and many others here are with a particular sports team from the Twin Cities area. Ever heard of the Minnesota Golden Gophers? Next time you want to make an accusation against somebody, stop and take a look in the mirror first. Think about how that very same accusation might also fit yourself. Glass houses? I guess I'm not sure what you even mean by that. I mean, I understand what the saying means, but I don't understand how it applies here. Because you and I have differing views on topics, favorite teams, etc...what does that have to do with this? Please enlighten me. Quote
Uncle_Rico Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Please don't enlighten us. Cue the Billy Madison clip if he does. Quote
