Re: NHL Center Ice Online question

Well. The Sens win, and the Leafs lose.


I could'a guessed that.
 
Re: NHL Center Ice Online question

And they're 6-1! Take that, ESPN! I hope they go 81-1 just to spite you!
 
Re: NHL Center Ice Online question

I rather enjoyed last night's Flames/oil game. It seemed more like an old school Calgary/Edmonton game, back from when people really cared about the rivalry -- and I don't even know how to further explain what I mean.

I know exactly what you mean. The intensity of the old Battle of Alberts games made it possible to enjoy them even when, as a Canucks fan, I hated both teams. :D

Something's gone wrong when that three-way rivalry between Van, Calgary, and Alberta seems to have gone by the wayside at times.

^^^

Another playoff round, be it Calgary/Edmonton, Vancouver/Edmonton, Calgary/Van....it will trigger something big.

Ooh, Minnesota...we're gonna' catch ya'. We're right behind ya'. :D

The problem is, that only works if the teams are at about parity. The same thing happened to the Battle of Ontario - the Sens got better and the Leafs got worse and now it's boring.
 
Re: NHL Center Ice Online question

I still hate Calgary with a passion, even moreso now they have Keenan. The rivalry is alive for me at least.

But alas, what kind of a rivalry will it end up being if the Nucks continue playing like they do, ie for only 30 minutes a game. We haven't looked good for a full game all season - there's been flashes of how we played last year but for the most part it's pretty bad.
 
Re: NHL Center Ice Online question

There was an interesting article in the paper today: link

Excerpts:
But there's one head-scratcher out there that has even the experts thoroughly stumped -- why do the vast majority of Canadian hockey players shoot left while the vast majority of their American counterparts shoot right?

...

Last year in the Canadian-dominated NHL, nearly 60 per cent of players shot left. Among defencemen, the number was closer to 70 per cent. Broken down by nationality, 73 per cent of the top 30 Canadian scorers last year shot left. Among the top 30 American scorers, only 53 per cent shot left.
 
Well I shoot left and a lot of guys I know shoot left too. I'm Canadian in case you were wondering.
 
Another Canadian left-hand shot here. I blame my childhood admiration of Borje Salming - I started out as a right-hand shot and taught myself to switch when I was about 8. (Or maybe it was to make up for the fact that my grandmother switched me from being left-handed when I first started to write.)
 
Sharks finally looked impressive. Glad they did well in the third and were able to beat Dallas. This is going to be a big month for them coming up. Every game except for the final game of the month is against the Pacific Devision.

An American left shot here. I didn't start playing until I was an adult and left shot just felt better than a right shot.

Something to do with the 'strong' hand on top of the stick but I could be wrong
 
Caandian right shot here.

I love interesting stats like that -- I once heard that [insert high percentage] of English teachers are left handed.
 
how humiliated is Mike Modano right now?

the Stars have relegated the face of their franchise to the 4th line

the 4th f*ing line :wtf:

imagine Sakic or Yzerman or Jagr or some other superstar being relegated to the 4th line

unbelievable

and then he gets credited for a phantom assist last night that would have tied him for the US born scoring record. he does the right thing and says he never touched the puck, but still had to answer all the questions about it
 
Sportsnet East is showing three Sens games this week ... hooray! No Canucks, though, and I was too tired to watch until 2 in the morning this past Saturday. :(
 
I'm looking forward to the Sens/Habs game on Saturday. It's on early enough that I can actually watch it over here!
