  1. I like the delay. By the time Shorty tells me what I've already seen, I'm just processing it. Perfect sync. (At least better than listening to a Coil feed).
  2. first two goal deficit of the season, and on cue, out crawl the coach-firing armchairs.
  3. I dunno but Klefbom, Russell and Sheahan were their primary guys - and none of them are in their lineup.
  4. Tanev in that flaming jersey is one ugly sight to behold. Mine eyes bleed.
  5. SNW "technical difficulties" for the Jets/Flames game....? Seems to me this was their code for blacked out domestic games that are not in your 'region'. Same shat again this year? Meanwhile O+E channels of US teams - Washington/Buffalo... ?
  6. Saw the 'network' coverage of this / update last night - and there was no shortage of footage of Tortorella railing on Dubois repeatedly. With Tortorella wondering what Dubois disagrees with, as if he hasn't been 'honest' with him. Pretty dense play by Torts, really. I wonder what the 'kid' could possibly have a problem with? But beyond his target - what do the players on his bench think, as Tortorella rips into a team-mate - ie as he did with Hansen? I can only imagine how many have had to fight/repress the urge to get up and 'ask him if he'd like to drop the gloves'. I recall one Canuck recounting a story of walking into his office and doing exactly that. How many guys that have played for him felt the same? What does that actually do 'for' a 'team'? I think he's probably fortunate that not many of those guys have taken him up on the 'conversation' and Radulov'd him. Sprinkled in some 'I've/we've spent so much time and effort developing him'.... As if Torts is the guy that is going to take the loss - and as if the CBJ are not going to get asset value back for him. Disappointing really - because Tortorella seemed to 'get it' upon his departure from here - that he'd earned it. But he's sunken back into habit of ballbusting his players. Personally, I wouldn't want my players getting used to being treated / submitted like a rented mule like that - quite the opposite.
  7. the resolution of all the fruitless searches
  8. I once ponied up for front row PG tickets and it was well worth it.
  9. Dubois is (I'm guessing here) wise enough at 22 to know when not to waste his time/words on a cement head that will in all likelihood never change? I'm sure Torts would listen intently if they did have that "conversation". I respect Dubois for recognizing when he's reached his limit - and making the hard decision to move on.
  10. Take anything Canucks-related out of Dreger's mouth with a box of troll salt.
  11. "Also in this issue (of GQ)...Is the lack of Maple Leafs coverage hurting the NHL?" you can't make this quality shizz up.
  12. looks kinda like that striking dude ZacKass. but anything beats this GQ wannabeee...
