hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahah ville leino has 4 goals. that’s more then a million a goal for a guy on the 2nd line
scott gomez drives play though. leino is basically the equivalent of chicken shit on the ice
by Justin Azevedo on Jan 31, 2012 6:02 PM PST up reply actions
plus gomez signed that contract when he was a consistent 25+ goal guy

i really like the way they use “Brad” not “McCrimmon” in this tribute, presumeably cause they can’t spell it.
that’s why the banners in the rafters say “mcdonald” and “vernon” right ?
by walkinvisible on Jan 31, 2012 6:07 PM PST up reply actions
no, they say that because that’s what was on the jersey.
by Justin Azevedo on Jan 31, 2012 6:08 PM PST up reply actions
and you’ll notice that they have a jersey with his last name on it on the carpet
by Justin Azevedo on Jan 31, 2012 6:09 PM PST up reply actions
ie: no real pattern emerges. unless we get a win.

the boost the flames get is that detroit’s under .500 on the road

the boost the flames get is gio’s haircut.

The guy who orchestrated the Penguins comeback — again — would like to have a word with you about that.
i would have to say malkin, also. right now anyways.

dude starts in the ozone 64.8% of the time, with a delta of -9% finish. plays some pretty soft comp too.
by Justin Azevedo on Jan 31, 2012 6:44 PM PST up reply actions
generally, when players are put into a position to succeed, they succeed. meanwhile datsyuk has more points at evens then malkin and gets shit situations and tough comp.
by Justin Azevedo on Jan 31, 2012 6:46 PM PST up reply actions
explain why (insert flames player name here) is put in a position to succeed and still fails.

remember when you used to have a sense of humour ?
by walkinvisible on Jan 31, 2012 6:49 PM PST up reply actions
I still have one, it’s just evolved with age
by Justin Azevedo on Jan 31, 2012 6:52 PM PST up reply actions
As you’ve become less of a tourette’s sufferer you have lost your sense of humour… maybe the two are related.
possibly it’s just that my schedule leaves me tired all the time
by Justin Azevedo on Jan 31, 2012 7:24 PM PST up reply actions
plus, you’ve sold your soul to the man, and you are humourless ..
note: I am about 20 miles further down that road than you are … pretty soon I am going to be wearing black socks and birkenstocks with shorts pulled up over my belly button…
not much of a closet. i like this team. except white, stuart & bert.

Fuck. I totally missed 90% of that fight because some guy called to try and get to donate to Down kids. I told him I already buy Justin fucking drinks, so leave me to my hockey game.
i see you made your reservations for the flight to hell ?

hey, my buddy james (BA pilot) flew the concorde sim the other day.
by walkinvisible on Jan 31, 2012 6:55 PM PST up reply actions
have you ever seen the graphics in those sims? terrible
by Justin Azevedo on Jan 31, 2012 7:26 PM PST up reply actions
unless I’m mistaken Concordes don’t fly anymore. The last actual flight of the concorde (not the band) took place many years ago, but as I am writting this after the fact it is probably not even remotely pertinent to the conversation.
the concordes are grounded. all in museums. correct.
by walkinvisible on Feb 1, 2012 9:40 AM PST up reply actions
have you ever flown one of the good ones? pretty fucking realistic when you are looking out the window.
my uncle was comptroller at wj for a bunch of years. to be fair, the last time I flew one was in 08 and it was a 737

I crashed it in about 2 minutes, in case anyone is wondering

no, in swingers, vaughn suggests that this girl is “business class. her ass is too big to fly coach.”

so kerr you mentions how many fights jackman has, how many does PL3 have? cause that’s his job, right ? it’s why we got’im ? right ?
it’s gonna be inconclusive. it’s under his arm
by walkinvisible on Jan 31, 2012 6:52 PM PST up reply actions
maybe he would, though, cause it would be MONEY.

Fucking Cocksucker. “The Detroit Red Wings like to have puck possession.” His question should be, “Why does it seem that the Flames don’t?”
im sure they do, it’s just it’s hard to have the puck when you suck so bad you can’t get it away from the other guys
by Justin Azevedo on Jan 31, 2012 7:09 PM PST up reply actions
i guess it is. i need to lighten up too, it seems. ;)

mikey goals on howard. many goalings for all.
by Justin Azevedo on Jan 31, 2012 7:18 PM PST up reply actions
that’s a really good question. I’m inclined to say no, because he doesn’t technically have control of the stick.
by Justin Azevedo on Jan 31, 2012 7:23 PM PST up reply actions
gio, for the record, is also a great fantasy guy. both him and olli get steady SOGs, lots of PIMs, and the occasional G or A or PPP. i’ve disregarded +/- on my team (cause i always lose that stat).

I just want to sleep. luckily this game is helping me accomplish that

I guess we should probably play it like last year… plan to go and just buy tickets at the box office. Worked out pretty sweet last time.
yes. or train. ps: we’ll have to formulate a plan for an 830pm start on thurs.

that wasn’t butler’s fault. lost edge, sure, but it doesn’t excuse the other three guys letting hudler go right to the net
for the record: none of those guys were gio. one of those guys was butler.

Wow, no one even LOOKED at the Wings guy on that goal.
Walked right in. Seems like a bad way to go.

We need to loan Mike Fisher to you for the last two minutes. He scored two goals at the end of our game.
I want to know what they paid them off with. It’s not like that city has ANY money.

Hey, didn’t we win Detroit in a war exactly 200 years ago? Actually, I’m pretty sure it was that other waterfront gem: Buffalo.

I kinda liked watching the Leafs choke tonight, I admit it. If only ‘cause of my brother’s real time via text meltdown.
It was the manic texts that got me. For example:
Bullshit!!!!!
Can’t stand this fucking tramp
Ooops. Team.
But tramp too lol
Fuck me, what a joke.
There is no team in the NHL who can lose games so brilliantly.
It went on from there. Very amusing :)
You are MORE than welcome to it.
Please. Take it for a night.

hells yeah !!! that’s a super fun rink. and top notch arena snack (bbq nachos).

Sorry Nashville fans. Looks like you’re going to have to go back to watching Gnash run around on his ATV.
Yeah, he’s quite good at that…
Sorry you lost :( good luck with your next game though

And if you are looking for people to root for the Canucks over the Hawks, alas, you’ve probably come to the wrong place. ’Cause we kinda hate the Canucks around here.
Understandable. I HATE the Hawks, though, so I’m gonna have to pull for Vancouver. Sorry!
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
Fair enough. I’m a Flames fan living in Vancouver, so my loathing for the Canucks sort of defies description.
Aaaah, so much like why I hate Chicago! I did my undergrad there for the last 4 years. Their bandwagon fans drove me to absolute fucking INSANITY. All they did after the Hawks beat the Preds round one was taunt me. Constantly. Fuck them. Thus, I hate the Hawks.
