All-purpose hockey thread...

Re: New NHL vs. the old NHL

I figured everyone in Philly called players on other teams "asshole."

;D

 

Re: New NHL vs. the old NHL

Well, since I'm not in Philly, I play by a different set of rules. Plus I'm developing quite the hatred for Mr. Clarke.

 

Re: New NHL vs. the old NHL

My apologies.

You're not alone in your dislike of Clarke.

 

Re: New NHL vs. the old NHL

All I know is, I like the new NHL because the Penguins have Crosby, which means they have new life. Yet to see tonight's highlights, but I'm going to see them soon enough.

 

Re: New NHL vs. the old NHL

Heck, Bobby Clarke probably doesn't even like Bobby Clarke. All the stuff he overcame to be a good player....too bad he has pissed away all that goodwill as an administrator.

 

Re: New NHL vs. the old NHL

Just a brief interruption to thank you all for keeping this thread alive.  I've been in London since Sunday and I already miss hockey almost as much as my boyfriend. ( I did say almost).

Hitting a Cyber cafe and reading SJ makes me feel a little less homesick. 

 

Re: New NHL vs. the old NHL

Well, with you being away from your bf, cyber cafe takes on a second meaning.

Seriously, glad to oblige.

 

Re: New NHL vs. the old NHL

How are the Bournemouth Blazers doing these days? Did they win that big tilt with the Sheffield Steelers?

 

Re: New NHL vs. the old NHL

No clue.  Haven't talked sports since Saturday night when I watched the Leafs beat Montreal at the airport in Toronto while waiting for my flight.  I'm staying at my agent's place with other opera singers so nobody talks sports. I think these people have a very limited view of culture.

And for the record, I like the 'new' NHL with a few exceptions:

a) goalie restrictions.  To hell with your trapezoid ... set my Eddie free, man.

b) shootouts.  Hate them.  But if we have to have 'em,  there should be at least 5 shooters. 

Ahhh .... hockey talk.  I feel better. Thanks. 

 

Re: New NHL vs. the old NHL

I hope you took your Aki Berg bobblehead doll to keep you company. But if you didn't here's a reminder.

 

Re: New NHL vs. the old NHL

Get it right, JR.  His name is F*ckin' Aki Berg, thank you very much. And I think we should lock him in a room with Eddie and no witnesses and see what happens.

 

Re: New NHL vs. the old NHL

I forgot to add my other complaint about the new NHL.  I hate the schedule.  There are way too many teams I won't see the Leafs play and a lot of players I only read about or see on the highlight reels.  I know that I could watch non-Leaf games to see them but staying up for the second game to see the Western teams is just waaaaay past my bedtime.
