2008/09 NHL Thread

I only hope Sundin waits until Dec. 26 to debut as a Canuck.

 

My guess would be Dec.30 against the Flyers

 

I'm sorry, I just threw up in my mouth. At least it was a burger baron burger that I just finished eating and not something completely disgusting like that trinket.

 

Damn!

 

Road hockey game in Boston.

Toronto goes down 5-1, then it's 5-4, 6-4 and now 6-5 Boston at the end of the second.

Every shot is going in

Wild shit.

 

Wild shit.
You make my heart sing.
Wild shit...

 

Fernandez replaces Thomas, Toskala's in for the Leafs in the 3rd

 

Semin just caught a brutal cross check in his lower back. Things are heating up in the Caps-Blues game.

 

Joe Corvo scored game-winning goal in OT to give Whalercanes 2-1 win over Panthers.

Are the guys buying into Mo's obvious emphasis on more defensive responsibility? The Montreal game, tactically, barely counts as the Habs turned it into a march to the penalty box.

 

Yeah, that's Mo hockey: 2-1 games and goals are at a premium. Nice to see Corvo getting some goals here lately. The Canes obviously got a lot of shots and scoring chances tonight, but just couldn't get many in.

Did anybody else see the Lightning-Avs shootout? That was a BS call against Mike Smith. He dropped his stick (clearly didn't throw it) but since the puck hit the knob of his stick, the Avs were awarded a shootout goal even though it looked like it wasn't going to go in. I've never seen that before. Smith looked like he wanted to fight the referees!

 

Honestly, I think it was the right call.

Smith didn't have control of the stick, it was out of his hand, and as such, a goal has to be awarded.

 

Maybe I don't know the rule.

I thought that they could only call that if he "threw the stick" toward the puck. If that's the rule, he didn't do that in my opinion.
