  1. The eye test says it’s Hasek everyday. Teams in Buffalo were not defensive juggernauts so he had to literally stand in his head many nights. No offence to Plante and the like but put Hasek behind a stellar defensive team and no one touches him in this category. Now, I might be wrong, but I’ve trusted my eyes over the years and Hasek did things no one else before or after has even come close to physically matching. Wins and shutouts and Stanley Cups are TEAM accomplishments. Positionally, historically, physically, there’s no one better than the great Dom.
  2. Leave out the intro and first verse. Crank it after that and you have a raucous, rocky, immediately catchy tune with a compellingly appropriate lyric that you can scream out at that ultimate moment. You can all cease your music searches now
  3. Don’t need to quibble with the majority of your points but what does making the playoffs because of Covid mean exactly? By winning percentage they were “In”, fair and square. This narrative needs to end. Let’s keep to the facts.
  4. I agree with most of this but I do think it’s closer to 3 to 4 minutes rather than years. The last time this strategy worked was the ‘67 Leafs.
  5. But this has gone beyond following her or not on line. If you can’t see the collateral damage here I don’t know what to say. And yes, I would like to stifle her persona and I’m not 70.
  6. Is the Wennberg family entertained by this video? Are they laughing along when hear about the different holes she has available for their father and husband to occupy? Did they ask for this type of attention? Did they ask for the hurtful commentary they are now receiving on line directed to their family and kids? I think this is an affront to good taste and a vile personal attack. A line is crossed here and Sheila should be ashamed. Her hard on for this player should have been left in the recesses of her mind, or left in diary, or even shared with her friends over a cocktail and not made public in this manner. It is disrespectful and it crosses a line that unfortunately has not been made clear to many in the on line community.
  7. That the tenor and tone of this video is disgusting is pretty obvious. That there will be those out there who support this type of behaviour disgusts me more.
  8. Just waiting now for the analytics post(s) to cut your take to shreds.
  9. DJ tries to pander to the sensibilities of the many “casual” fans that frequent the lower bowl and luxury boxes. Seems like DJ is trying to entertain rather than rouse, which, in my opinion, is the job of the DJ. I can literally think of a hundred tunes that are more appropriate for a game/arena setting, songs that never get played but with a little research, could be added to an effective, uplifting, rousing playlist. I understand your downright embarrassment. Your take here is on the mark.
  10. I’ll be quite satisfied to read the many accolades coming PB’s way in the next few days than to dwell on the drivel coming from some of the posters on this forum (do they need naming?) In all seriousness, the disrespectful and purposely uninformed tone says more about you as hockey observers than it taints Bergeron’s reputation. I’m a hockey fan and I hate the Bruins with an almost all-abiding passion but come on now, to not see this players greatness is laughable and makes me think you know nothing about this game at all.
  11. Everyone’s forgetting Dougie Halward’s hat trick in the playoffs against the Lames!
  12. Wow. I might have got a bit of spit on me from that response. I guess hate is your flavour then. I won’t ramp you up any more.
  13. You’re embarrassing yourself by suggesting Rutherford made a conscious choice here. I’m projecting, and this might the wrong take, but does your hate on for management have any limits? The number is not retired. I think the club has done a nice job recognizing the contributions of the previous generation of players. Why not celebrate that instead of insinuating villainous intentions?
  14. Get ready for pushback on the “small tiny” characterization. He might be fairly described as short, but he’s neither small or tiny. He’s borderline fireplug thick and quite sturdy.
  15. I think you have effectively set the other extreme of Gawd’s fanboy take on Yzerman. Neither of you is right but your framing of this topic helps this thread chug along in an entertaining manner.
  16. I could just give you a sad face but it seems more appropriate to congratulate you on a new level of vitriol. To each his own!
  17. Play him with Miller - bing bang boo - asset management - trade him for draft picks.
  18. Could we get the DJ to play songs like this at the arena? The song is fire, full of attitude, energy and the band is Swedish !!
  19. I’m quite sure the passage of time has dulled my recollection of this player and I feel quite uninspired as to his possible impact if he were to return. For others of you, the many years accumulated have clearly raised this player to almost mythical heights, not that you see him as some kind of saviour, but the memories you hold have served to stretch his skills somewhat. In either case, what is tough to reconcile is why this process is taking so long. Big T’s pupils must be in agony from eying this return for as long as he has.
  20. Possibly if we were casting for a broadway version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
  21. Indeed. Lethargy could easily set in, our Vancouver “home” crowd might turn ugly etc etc. I’m honestly more concerned about this stretch of games than the first six.
  22. Nobody on the phone at the Montreal table
  23. There’s no predicting this next picks . Habs are true wild cards
  24. Always refreshing in great anticipation hoping for some news
