  1. Pretty disappointing that we can't even dominate this game, against a team without their 2 top defensemen and their #1 goalie.
  2. Speaking of Jericho he has a new podcast coming out on the 4th and his first guest is STONE COLD! STONE COLD!
  3. I would die a happy man, if Jericho arrives out of the blue at TLC, gives both men the codebreaker, and just walk out with both Championship.
  4. A tad over-exaggerated don't you think? He's talented in the ring, no doubt. Probably the best athlete in the entire business, but he's not as over as you think he is, nor does he have that great of a mic skill.
  5. With a month away before teams announce their roster, I think I will give my final assessment on how Team Canada should look like. Forwards: Line 1: Nash - Crosby - Neal I originally had St. Louis and Stamkos on this line, but I really doubt Steven will be ready for the Olympics, and even if he is, won't be 100%. Therefore, he will be left off the team. The smart pick would be to have Kunitz on Sidney's wing, but despite having chemistry, he isn't a prolific scorer as Neal is. Neal does have some chemistry with Crosby, as they do play on the PP together in Pittsburgh. Line 2: Getzlaf - Tavares - Perry With Giroux having a terrible start of the season, he basically played himself off the team. Tavares will take his spot as Canada's 2nd line centermen. Simple logic here, put Canada's best playmaker with their two best goal scorers. Line 3: Sharp - Toews - St. Louis I see St. Louis eventually making this team, just because Yzerman is the head honcho who puts together this squad and he does watch him play 24/7. Sharp and Toews already play on the same line (at times in Chicago) so the chemistry is there. Plus, they're two of the best 2-way players on the team. Line 4: Ladd - Bergeron - Richards The shutdown line for Team Canada. Bergeron and Richards did a fantastic job in 2010, shutting down the other countries. I think Ladd has a great chance of making on Team Canada, possibly the most underrated player around the league. This guy is a younger version of Brendan Morrow, he can score clutch goals, dish out hits, and he can skate pretty well for a big man. Extra: Duchene, Benn Defensemen: D1: Keith - Seabrook Pretty self explanatory. They are the backbone of the Stanley Cup champs. D2: Bouwmeester - Pietrangelo I'd admit, I wasn't too thrilled when people were pegging Bouwmeester on their Team Canada roster, just because he plays with Pietrangelo. All I can think of is how awful he was on the big ice surface back in 2006, in Turin. But, I can't omit him on this team, because he has been playing so well in St. Louis with Pietrangelo. I hope he can prove me wrong. D3: Weber - Doughty Pairing Doughty with Weber, will allow Doughty to play his game, jumping into the rushes and creating scoring chances. He plays the same style as Subban, but I feel Doughty is the better skater out of the two, so he could skate back , backcheck, and stop the odd-man rushes the out way. Extra: Subban Goalies: Starting Goalie: Luongo All you Luongo haters turn away, it's his job to lose. I think that they will eventually split time during the round robins, but when it matters, they will turn to Luongo first, since he has the experience. Backup: Price I think Price is Canada's best goalie out there, but that doesn't mean he's going to be the starting goalie. All I can say is, backups always steal the spotlight. So, Luongo better be on his game. 3rd String: Crawford Reigning Stanley Cup goalie, so we know he can play well in front of a elite team.
  6. Maybe it's because he comes out to a crowd of 4000, instead of 16000.
  7. Lol, what's with this vote1, vote2? Sorry, I'm new to mafia.
  8. This game marks the return of shiznak. Watch and learn how a legend plays, chumps
  9. Apparently, there's going to be a rematch during Memorial Day weekend.
  10. Should be a snoozefest, with the way these two teams are playing.
  11. So, Anderson will do something Sting couldn't, end Aces n' Eights.
  12. On the bright side, we got a point. Hurrah!
