  1. OT - Al McNeil was hated by the French Canadians on his team. But still won a Cup as rookie head coach for the Habs. Unfortunately for him, Henri Richard wanted him gone; so after winning the cup, McNeil was demoted to their farm club.
  2. Thomas and Chara were the backbone of that team. Didn't even notice Lucic in the Finals (other than TAKING the hit from Hamhuis that took the later out of the series). Elite player now but Ratboy was just a complemtary player on that 2011 squad.
  3. Even Claude Lemieux 'took his lumps' on the Draper hit...eventually. http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/throwback/201312/darren-mccarty-detroit-red-wing-nhl-hockey-my-last-fight-claude-lemieux
  4. And have bigger cahones than Bone Spurs.
  5. Because hitting a good with a good clean hit is stopping down to the same level? Please. This isn't the bantam hockey. You must have missed that part of my post which I put in BOLD.
  6. Oh please. That's standard 'drawing penalties stuff'. Jarrku Ruutu was famous for that as well. If you can't see the difference between that and going for someones head, then I don't know what to say. And please, the Bruin players shoved his glove/hand in Burrows mouth. If he wasn't interested in Burrows getting a good meal, don't do that.
  7. Kassian should target the dwarf or any of the other girly men on the Flames. WITH a good *CLEAN* hit. If he is patient; the opportunity will arise (Kassian being able to skate will make that job easier). Watch the Flamer fans start crying then.
  8. Burrows and Kesler only hurt other people's feelings. BIG difference. Torres? No question he was a head hunter. Only a Canuck for a season. He played for half a dozen other teams.
  9. Ryan Strome is Tywin Lannister. He doesn't need to be King tor rule. Course, he is afraid to go to the toilet as Warhippy is wondering around with a crossbow.
  10. I’d rather have him riding shotgun watching EPs back. He’s a solid enough skater (not merely a talentless thug) that can keep up with him and has some touch around the net.
  11. Hey so as long they finally mass produce those fembots, I won't care.
  12. To be honest, I get LESS worried when there's more "doom & gloom' forecasts coming out. I get REALLY worried when there's a virtual state of Euphoria in the markets (nowhere to go but up). But I don't disagree with what you said in your original post.
  13. As the great former WWE wrestler Rob Van Dam would say: "Pick a hand".
  14. That was only part of it. The hilarious part was the shill Sharks media complaining that Bieksa was 'spot-picking' a fight with a smaller player (ignoring the fact PM is actually larger than Juice....and I don't mean he was on the Keith Tkachunk diet). Now if they complained that it wasn't fair Bieksa, a solid middleweight, fighting a guy that doesn't fight....well that would be different.
  15. Avery never took a run like that at another player. The only filthy thing about Avery is what comes out of his mouth (or in his mouth ).
  16. I was laughing at the City of Vancouver salt trucks out late this afternoon thinking to myself....wtf are our taxpayers money being wasted. Not a speck of snow on the ground. Just shows you how little I know.
  17. Nah, Schneider's injury issues was an obstacle he couldn't overcome. Imagine the Canucks without Markstrom. That's the kind of impact Schneider was having prior to the health issues (essentially almost playing at Vezina levels).
  18. When Gene Simmons has something to say AND doesn't mention any kind of product he's peddling, you know he respects the band (Rush)....
  19. Dirt bag Kesler? Wtf???? I don't recall him being suspended for anything except calling people names. . Most of Cookies cheap stuff occurred AFTER he left the Canucks.
  20. I didn't have that reaction when Gino declared war on the entire Blues roster.
  21. Kassian should've taken a run at the dwarf Gaudreau with a hard but legal hit and then skate by the Flamers bench and point at Tkachuk.....how do you like apples or are you going to ask your daddy to fight your battles by having him sit on me?
  22. I’m guessing we’d be sleeping with the fishes in any event since we’re so close to the border (as is most of the population of Canada).
