  1. Merry Christmas everyone. It's  a week away but since people seldom read the sidebar hopefully it's noticed by Dec. 25.

      Have a great Christmas DD.
      Probably chat before New Year.

  2. What's with the new look that hides the existing user option? Instead of using my favorites option to log in quickly I now need to jump through hoops.

  3. I'm surprised there isn't any talk about the banana tossing incident in London, Ont.

      To be honest, I am black and I couldn't careless. You get as low as the people who do this kind of things when you really take this seriously. People are stupid, it has been and it will always be like that, simmonds has probably seen worse so i'm not too concerned by that..

      "Lawyer Faisal Joseph says Chris Moorhouse was caught up in the drama of a tense game featuring his favorite hockey team and threw the banana at the Philadelphia Flyers’ Wayne Simmonds in hopes of preventing the winning goal." - Exactly what I thought. Still a VERY stupid act!!!!!

  4. Happy birthday Carty. I hope you are having a great 1.

      Holy smokes! 

       

      The crown jewel of the internet did not feature the name Carty (or Marty, for that matter), so I went with the closest available. 
       

       

      Hopefully you lost control as you cut the cake!

  5. June 24th TSN is running a show about playing to lose. It's titled The Lemieux Draft (probably because that was the most glaring example).

      Well Peeps, the Pens won 2 (7 & 8 years later) after drafting Lemieux & spending 6 years out of the playoffs. They won 1 after 4 more (would have been 5 if not for the lockout) to draft Crosby, Malkin & that bunch 3 years later. We got 1 Cup without having to sink into the mire so are 2 Cups worth 11 years of tanking? Not if you cheer for wins.

    3. The_People1

      If you want to win, then you can't be afraid to lose.

    4. Flyerfan52

      Flyerfan52

      That could apply to losing out on the next "Next 1" too. I've seen a lot of highly touted players called that but no Grtez or Orr so far.

  6. Was the board down yesterday? I kept getting a "site can not be found"

      Funny it's not in the announcements.

      For a bit I wondered in the Flames organization just pulled the plug on the message board since it won't just fade away like so many of the other "NHL Sanctioned" team sites.

    3. Carty

      Checked the NHL forums for the Oil, Nucks and Ducks the day ours was down just to see if they were up or not, and they were down as well...

    4. DirtyDeeds

      DirtyDeeds

      this is what happens when your President of Hockey operations say they could just up and leave with no notice...lol

      Thanks guys. It felt strange not being able to check in to see what's new.

      Oilers and Nucks boards were down too. Probably more.

    4. conundrumed

      Ducks, Hawks...I just put it down to the Russians after game 1 of the SCF. NHL boards got hacked.

      Seems right.

      Peeps?

  9. For those going through hockey withdrawal TSN is showing the 2005 WJC gold medal game Wed. 5ish Mb. time. What a stacked team we had due to that lockout/strike!

      Watching re-runs of past WJC only creates deeper hockey withdrawal...

      can't wait - that spanking of teh Russians was one of the best WJC games ever. And yes, that was the best WJ team ever. I can't see this year's team being anywhere near as good.

  10. Happy Birthday DirtyDeeds! Hope you are having a great 1.

  11. As the teams I could cheer for without gagging fall by the wayside I'm going to have a heck of a time picking a team to root for in the 2nd round.

      I'm going for Ottawa for Anderson, and St. Loo for Army. I don't have any problem with the Ducks now that it's vs the Oil.

    3. JTech780

      JTech780

      Let's go Ducks! ugh. I am cheering for Washington tonight, and the Rangers to take out Ottawa. Calgary is the only Canadian team I want to see win the Cup.

      I kind of thought that OV saying he was going to the Olympics no matter what, was a way to stick it to Bettman, so I like it.

  12. All charges were stayed in the Mike Richards court case after all these months. That means no record. Expect the Caps to re*sign him as Trotz really likes him.

      So how does that affect Mike's NHLPA appeal of the dismissal? They turfed him because of the events.

    3. Flyerfan52

      Flyerfan52

      The appeal was settled. LA gave him $s & he along with the NHLPA accepted. He's just trying to rebuild his career & under Trotz is in a good place for it. He won't be an Olympian again but will likely be 1 heck of a depth player. The kind you want on the ice when it's late & the score is close.

      That actually really bugs me... The Kings shoud've been crucified for that.

      I think the devs are preparing us for some quantum time travel here. Hang on guys!

  16. The Flames will have an ad in tomorrow's Wpg. Free Press congratulating the Jets. It's a Canadian flag super-imposed over the white-out. I thought it was a real class thing to do.

  17. I read about what the Flames did for Nathan O'Brien's team. Very nice.

      My niece linked 6 pistures of Glencross, Mike Green, Elyniuk, Couture, Barb Cuffley, Doug Crashley & Harvey the Hound visiting the Springbank Timbits Senators. I'll ask where she found it.

    3. Flyerfan52

      Flyerfan52

      A friend of hers named Greg Head had that & other tributes on his facebook page. Seems he's a friend of the O'Brien family & was there.

      This is why the new CBA will increase the free agent age, to much money for such a small body of work.

      Just an interesting tidbit. I was almost born in the states. A week before my actual birth my parents were in N Dakota to catch a movie (I grew up 6 miles from the border) & Mom went into false labor. Dang, I was that close to having dual citizenship for the best 2 countries.

      ifiwaschucknorris

      I saw it. I laughed, I cried, I vomited in my mouth a little. It's an unabashed tribute the old grind house films and IMO it takes full advantage of the desensitization of society to push gore and sex even further than those grind house films did. That being said....I loved it. And I will never watch it again.

      Thanks for the b/day wishes.

      I LMAO because my buddy that loaned me the movie only mentioned violence & not the fact it was like the 3/4 movie @ a dawn to dusk drive-in.

      I love it when a movie is so much a spoof it's spoofing itself.

      I was expecting a Reservoir Dogs but got more of a Grindhouse. (I should have re-watched Inglorious Basterds instead. I wanted blood, not farce.

  24. I was just given a box of old O-Pee-Chee hockey cards from the late '70s/early '80s. Guys like Lanny, Reinhart, Kent Nilsson & Mel Bridgeman.
