#1 team in the NHL my man! I unfortunately haven't been to ANY Flyers games this year. They are just too overpriced (and in the NHL as a whole overpriced but that's the facts of a league where 50% of the revenue comes from ticket sales). I've been to 4 Penguins games though. It sucks, watching games on TV isn't anywhere close to watching hockey live (though HD makes a HUGE difference, more so in hockey than any other sport). It's just a totally different game. I can never seem to get hold of the $20 tickets either. I never know when they go on sale. I really wanted to go to the Canucks game in Dec but couldn't get tickets. I really want to go to the Hurricanes or Canadiens game in March as those two games are sandwiched in between my birthday. I might try to get some for those. I tried to get a press pass from my work (www.sportsnetwork.com) but was told no. I am going to keep groveling and begging though.
I hate Crosby as much as anyone. I also think Cherry is a joke but the man has a point after Ilya Kovalchuck's totally classless display the other night: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=149860&hubname= What the hell is wrong with the Pens. THEY HAVE LYLE ODELEIN!! Get his goon ass on Crosby's hip. Anything happens to Crosby, you answer to Lyle. Hell, McSorley and Dave Brown made a career out of protecting Gretzky! The NHL has to wise up like the NFL did with QB's. You can keep letting your stars get pounded and hurt, it's just bad for the league.
Eddie http://hiddi.textamerica.com/?r=4013089 http://photobucket.com/albums/y195/hiddi/?action=view¤t=canes.jpg Missed out on Canadiens tix though in March. give me your eagles v cowboys tix for next year and canes tix are yours
I freaking love Markus Naslund...must be something about those ex-MoDo players from Sweden. I will never give Cowboys - Eagles tickets to a Cowboys fan.
Ha c'mon! At the game i'm not a dallas fan! I'd be crazy to cheer and wear dallas gear here. Oh but I did have the biggest grin on my face when Roy Williams ran back that interception this year at the Linc.
I wouldn't take too much from that. I was lucky enough to be at the game. It was good, clean, hard-hitting hockey (even in the stands!).The Devils are playing very well since Elias returned. We lace 'em up again, and it'd be 3-0 Flyers. You're still quality (hell, the season's only half over) You're better than Carolina, certainly better than the Rangers.
Oh no worries on the season after over one loss especially on what has been a long road trip with injuries but has still remained very successful. But it's the devils. It always hurts to lose to the devils and rangers no matter what I love hearing the Zus chants though on away games.
Last night blew and Rathje was horrible. Therien was his usual crappy self as well. I have found a favorites in Ben Eager and Freddy Meyer though.
did anyone see why Thornton got penalized? What a load of crap....it was a clean hit. Stupid home bias referee. Anyways, they got a good pounding (sorry 11Best)
A major, yes....but ejection.....analogous to getting a yellow vs. a red. To Eddie: have special family bias to anyone who participated in US NTDP, as Jason did so for two years- two years after Meyer did. My sister and bro-in-law were behind he effort to block the program from leaving Ann Arbor and going to Lake Placid - where the only thing to do at night would have been to get drunk. Plus, they competed academically in high sdchool with the fac brats from Michigan and Eastern Michigan, considerably better than the upstate NY sweathogs (why izzit that everyone in upstate NY is married to their first cousin? it's West Virginia with slightly fewer tatoos oin the women)
To be fair it was a hit from behind, and not clean....but certainly not game misconduct kind of stuff. I just cannot live this trade down. The only thing making us a bad team when we had Thornton were defense, injuries and chemistry issues. None of this was solved with that trade, and now I have to see Zhamnov try to impersonate a top line center. Shoot me.
What is it with Boston? Jeremy Jacobs must be the WORST owner in all of sports. When anyone gets good, and asks for rightful compensation, he gets shipped out. I lived there for 17 years, and I still could never figure it out. Last time they hoisted the Cup was the early 70s, then a four-game rubout by the Oilers in 89. Bruins fans don't deserve this, but they get lousy treatment anyway. Maybve if they voted with their wallets, but hockey's too popular there......
what do yall think bout Ovechkin from washington? I havent seen a game of the caps until tonight, and he is absolutely tearing it up versus dallas. ya, he scored a sick goal, but his stickhandling and ability to get shots on goal remind me alot of kovulchuk..
He's quality - then again, his mom won two gold medals in basketball for the CCCP - and didn't his father play football for Dynamo Moskva? He's also big enough so that if you want to play the body on him, he can and will mix it up.....
Two of the top 3 snipers in the NHL are Russians. Eat it stupid Eddie, Ovechkin and Kovalchuk are BEASTS
as they say in English (I'm sure in any language) 'Like father, like son" Pa-russky: "kak otets, kak cina?"
