I was really thinking a move back to San Jose for the Irish God of War [IGOW for short] was imminent. And I would have been okay with that as he is one player that deserves to have his name on the cup. At the very least a chance at it.

Well then you definitely don't want him going to San Jose.

That so fits the Wild 100x more except for the short franchise length. You guys sold out to watch Jacques LeMaire coached hockey rather than nuking it from orbit for the good of mankind. :p

Now he's back safe in New Jersey, where they worship him as a god and erect statues of him fellating Marty Brodeur.

"...the Thrasher are right where nobody on the planet thought they'd be at this stage..."

"These guys are suddenly the Bad News Bears."

"Coach John Anderson has enjoyed plenty of success in the minors, but if he can get this group into the playoffs, it will be his greatest accomplishment as a bench boss. For no reason other than I think it would be an amazing story, I'm hoping the Cinderella Thrashers make it."


:mad: First, way for this douchë to backpedal like a motherfu**er in his closing statement.
Second, has this media hack NOT been paying attention to the turn around orchestrated since the trade deadline last year?

Hacks like this writer is why there are rumors of the Thrashers moving.

fwiw (iow don't shoot the messenger), this is from Bucci's blog on ESPN.com

I watch parts of just about every NHL game. I don't watch "Lost" or "Dancing with the Stars" or "Idol." I watch NHL hockey every night I'm home. These are my observations:

1. Crosby rarely whines. In fact, he is one of the more subdued players in the NHL. That is a fact. If you believe otherwise, you haven't seen a large sample of his games this season.

2. To call him overrated is as implausibly mind-boggling as calling Lady Gaga underrated. He wins faceoffs, he scores goals, he is the best passer in the NHL, he backchecks, he's completely committed to his craft, he carries his franchise's media load and has since he was 18. No one has had more asked of him over the past five years than Crosby.

3. Crosby has a scoring title, an MVP award, a Stanley Cup and an overtime gold medal-winning goal. He's 22. He's good. Try to enjoy him like the NBA fans who aren't Cavaliers fans enjoy LeBron James and baseball fans who aren't Cardinals fans enjoy Albert Pujols.

I have a difficult time detesting anything in life except Michael Bolton covering Otis Redding songs. That's it.

I thought it was lunatics in Winnipeg that were the reasons why there are rumors of the Thrashers moving?

That said, the Eastern Conference is pretty awful once you get past the fourth or fifth spot. Everything below that is obscenely mediocre and... That's fine because the Penguins, Capitals and Sabres will love having someone to flog on in the opening round.

The only reason why the Sabres aren't in the discussion of being medicore is because of their goalie.

Wash and Pitt are so far ahead of everyone in the East it's not even funny.

Meant to post this last night:

Mikael Tam played his first game last night since Cormier knocked him out cold Jan 17th.
 
Re: 2009-2010 NHL Season Part 3: After The Gold Rush

Whoever that Nashville defenseman who let his goalie take the guy 1 on 0, deserves to wear the cone of shame.

"I do not like the Cone of Shame."

There is no excuse for Wild games on FSN to not be in HD. Absolute crap by that network. :mad:

Not surprised. I don't think any of the western Canada games have been in HD this year :(

We're finally getting a full Twins season in HD this coming year. Maybe next year for the Wild, too :)

And broke his stick over the boards leaving the ice after the first, in the midst of the United Center crowd serenading him with mock "LUUUUUU" chants. Vancouver was totally undisciplined from the first drop of the puck.
