IC5: Will Eddie do the Numa Numa song for us?

I am assuming the ********** means God?

 

Latest on the hit.

It's freaking hockey. I hate the varying degrees of pussification in the NHL and hypocrisy.

Let's take out headshots but let's not force players to wear face shields or chin guards or for goalies to wear neck guards.

Come on. It's hockey. You know the risks when you play it. It wasn't dirty, it was a legal hit within the rules of the game.

 

Don't be mad at Cooke then. It was a legal hit, nothing illegal about it by the rules of the game. Cooke is far from a goon as well. The guy is a legit player. Your anger is misplaced. It's currently at Cooke. It should be at the NHL.

I enjoy the speed and crushing hits of hockey. I agree concussions are a far more serious issue than we even now about right now. However hits like Cooke's, the one below and even Mike Richards hit on Booth are legal. Richards I believe only got an Interference penalty.

I mean maybe I am an ogre but I like hockey the way it is. I like it's recklessness, speed and violence. I also see the beauty in offensive players showing their game. As it stands now though, they can't always do that. I like it the way it is.

 

Next week's game is going to be great. I believe in letting the players police themselves and I have no doubt Lucic is going to be zoned in on Cookie Monster.

Agreed on headshots but is a headshot a cheapshot? I say no since it's not against the rules.

Can we at least agree that Adrian Beltre is a bloated overpaid crap player?

 

Must make it hard to type!

 

Wonder what you make of this one Ed. I know how much you despise Pujols but I think this would be a great move plus it would stop the Sox/Yankees getting him in a couple of years.

Feels a bit like a Sun rumour though.

There would have to be some blue chippers in there somewhere to make it happen, but like you I don't see it happening. Fun to speculate though.

 

Apropos to nothing, I'm watching my first full NHL game in a while tonight (watched parts of games of course). Literally nothing else on so I'm currently in the 3rd period of Sharks-Ducks. Fun game (though not for Yasik). Not sure what it was like before the olympics but a lot of the players on the ice just look more pumped than last year, like there's an extra spring in their step.

I may be delusional of course

 

I only really watch regular season games that are rivalries, so my base reference is watching teams that hate each other.

So the olympics haven't pepped things up at all? Shame.

 

Let me get this straight...Temple (my alma mater) vs Oakland (yasik's alma mater). It's on, sorry Yasik!

TU by 20 baaaabyyyyyy!

 

Isn't that Kaz's school? It's Oakland, MI not the bay area Oakland or am I missing the plot here. And aren't Oakland playing Pitt?

 

I get my nerds mixed up...you're right!

Oakland, CA...Oakland, MI...Oakland, PA (where Pitt is located). It's an honest mistake!

 

Never going to happen but I'd do it in a second.
