  1. As a Seahawks fan this game wasn't the best outcome but it was a hell of a game. That effort in the second half was commendable and I'm just happy it was close at the end. These playoffs have been great aside from the ref moments, like the delay of game today and the coin flip yesterday. Now it's time to root for Fitz so he can win a ring.
  2. Instead of doing my essay Monday night I decided to watch the hockey game. It's due today and I worked till 3AM doing it. It was totally worth it. 

  3. Nope. If the Cowboys sign Johny Manziel and RG III, NFL has to give it to them. I would watch that every week. Or is it Billy Manziel now?
  4. As a united fan, seeing someone actually putting in effort to score is pleasing. Standards have really fallen in the last decade, havent they?
  5. I forgot Messi playing on the right side again. I think he could play anywhere he wants in the front three and the way Barça play so fluidly he isn't really playing right wing. More of a Striker/Attacking Mid/Winger/Football God in general.
  6. Ronaldo played on the right when with United. But Beckham was the only right midfielder that could be considered as great in recent times. Maybe Bale for the future? And Ribery has mainly played on the left for a couple of years when healthy because Robben is on the right.
  7. Lockette has more return yards than all of Arizonas offence. And Bruce Arians isn't going to be happy with anything in the game today. Missed kicks, bad punts, shaky offense, bad defence.
  8. The Provinces fullpage spread on Jake Virtanen...the kid is 19...Botchford really likes to push the line of rspectable

      Lowry refused to make a tender change. People forget Hicketts put the puck out of play to make it 5 on 3. Only morons blame Jake as if he brought the whole team down. It was a combination of things.

      Marner took an awful penalty

      Hickett's wouldn't have make that play, which on normal glass would have never happened if Virtanen didn't take not only 1 but 2 stupid penalties taking us off the power play.

      Virtanen is too undisciplined but I found the Marner penalty the worst.

  9. Man i love it when football fans go to History in arguments especially United and Liverpool fans. P.S. I'm a united supporter
  10. I love the pace of World Junior Hockey

  11. ROOOONEEY What a great way for him to start 2016. Great flick for the goal
  12. Yep. I've done it with United to. But it was at a time when the team that was suiting up was not a united caliber team, moyes era. For LvG I was doubtful after the World Cup showing but I had hope. He had big signings and everything. But it don't work out. Now I wait till we are competent again.
  13. I came here hoping to read about Gaunce not pot. Anyone think he'll get a call up if we ship out vets at the deadline
  14. You might be right but its IIHF rules
  15. This happeneds in all scrums in the NHL, and Virtanen was being held by a swedish player as well. The penalty wasn't the most gentleman action but I'd rather have this than the dive by the Swedish player on the Chartier high stick and the Konecny dive behind the swedish net.
  16. Virt has been in the top half of Canadian forwads 5v5 for me IMO Konecny has been the best player. Crouse Stephens Virtanen Barzal Quenneville have been goodish Gautier was OK Point Beauvillier Chartier was meh Marner Strome Perlini were BAAAAADDDDD
  17. He tries to put so much into that shot but he takes so much time. Just go low for the pads and get a rebound.
  18. Maybe for Strome it should be being a puck hog, Don't be a Strome out there
  19. Well you do have a stake. When I watch any sport I want a team to win. I have an emotional investment.
  20. It's just simpler really. When talking about the Canucks I would say we. If I was in Europe I would definitely have Manchester United membership.
  21. My teacher told me it happened when a quake happened in Seattle years ago too
  22. I agree, we really don't need a fullback with Luke Shaw and Darmian, but someone to play leftback would be nice when Shaw is out. The real conundrum IMO is Rooney, is he a striker, should he play as the man behind Martial? I would love to see Martial up top, Memphis to the left and a goal scoring winger to the right (Bale=Dream). Rooney behind them. The schmidfield and Smalling and Jones playing as the center back pair. Darmian at rightback, Blind at leftback.
  23. But what about Van Gaal? There comes a time in a managers career where he has just lost the players and LVG has done that. This was a bad result IMO because I fear that the board may decide to keep him around and that would be a real poor show of football knowledge. To finish any where close to second we need a striker, a fullback, a competent right winger, a centerback and those are all first team quality requirements. If we want to finish Top 4 we need a new manager and we could maybe take a shot with a signing like Mané.
