You know it, I know it, lots of other fans know it ... why do Scotty and son seem to think the ice dancing will win a cup when neither can find a team in the last 25 years that won with it?

Oh yeah.. don't forget little Teevo Tarahideme is coming to the UC soon. Another little winger. Jesus. Trade him to the Panthers and grab that #2 pick if that really is the case. We need size everywhere. But maybe Teevo might have a tad more heart then 88 since he is what.. Finish/Swedish? When Shaw/Kruger/Frolik have the most fight that shows you how deep in schit we really are.

Thanks ma'am. So let me get this straight

Sportsmanship is complaining along with the teams fans you are playing against in the biggest stage of the year, about a team and its fans you each played a couple years ago?

I'll have to remember that in next years playoffs, if I want to be a sportsman. If we are playing the Wild, I will be sure to bond with them through complaining about the Hawks, we can cry together while our teams battle on the ice.

True sportsmanship..thanks.

Pretty much. However, rather than "complaining" substitute "noting the fact" that, like you, the majority of Canucks fans and their team are classless and cheap.

Unfortunately, you will not have the chance to replicate as a Canucks fan as there is nothing lower than your group currently. Sorry. When Gillis goes you may have a chance to turn it around. Until then classless and cheap.

That's what you said to the guy who bought you the beer.... much later in the evening. Then he got out the glove.

Yuck! Really, get to a proctologist. That glove is still stuck and needs removal STAT!

Also, your hostess gig is coming. The saskatoon guy wants you to do something involving a swing so you may need to strap in to a harness. Better get started early.

You're really into anal play/rape huh? I think you discovered a new fact about yourself. I'm happy for you!

Ummm that's fine. But those teams were balanced. Lotta snarl to go with the skill. Draper/Maltby those teams were stacked. Not to mention one of the best players ever in Steve Yzerman with the Wings and super Mario with the Pens. Oh and a young kid named Jagr.

JJ, can we get some Mods in here? Sheesh, the name-calling / arguging has gotten out of hand and is so far off topic.

Or can you get Ek to upgrade the message boards to include a block method for users you don't wish to see posts from? Please pass that on to him.

If that's the case, those teams weren't "ice dancing" obviously. So, if they're not, what was the point that was being made? That all of his teams were ice dancers except the ones that weren't?

Better duck.. rocks will be chucked at you for those comments. And not from me. I agree. WTF if Kane? Where is the 6 million dollar scoring wizard? This is where you really earn your money. Nope.. stays outside the circles. To dangerous to go to the net. #19 is obviously f'd up and cant do much. Bruins are in their heads. Hawks look like a scared team.
- z1990z



I proposed trading him when his stock was sky high during the regular season when people here talked about his generational skill and as an MVP candidate.

But when playoffs come along its all the same...

Hawks need to play their game. Win a few faceoffs, shoot, crash the net, outskate the opponent.

I agree that the Bowmans need to go but you can't have a GM pick a coach's assistants for him. I'm not so sure lots of fans put too much stock in a coach anyway. Get a pp QB with a big shot and ya wanna bet Kompon suddenly looks like a genius?

Remedial reading skills not necessary for telemarketing/hosting jobs, eh? Is it that or perhaps just A.D.D (that would answer quite a bit about your earlier posts).

Or maybe your just a cowardly troll?

Someone suggested a way to determine sarcasim, which JJ started"FONT ON" to clarify some non serious thoughts. I know we all have the same feed but it is hard to watch a NHL Live/ Bos. wedding for an hour or 2 before the game then come out and prove them right by our play.
Looking forward to much more spirited game on Wed. from the Hawks. To me they just look tired.

The Bowman's still haven't built the team correctly since the Cup purge is the point. You need balance. Hawks still don't have it. That was the point. Cant have all this pretty skill fast skating schit with out grunts who will go to war to protect them and open space. THATS THE POINT!!!!!

Just a friendly reminder - the average size and weight of both teams is nearly identical. What the Bruins have is Lucic - no other team has a winger that can do what he does when motivated. And of course Chara.

The Bruin forwards are playing a very hard on the puck kind of game and its working for them. No Pretty Boy Floyds on that team - by contrast the Hawks have a few too many.

ah ok. Who knows maybe he'll be good some day.

while i dont think a big trade WILL be made, obviously there is something that CAN be done. And if the rest of this series goes south then i think it should be looked at. Package up some guys and get something substantial. Signing "grit" guys at the end of their careers (or close to it) is not the proper way to compliment the core of stars.

Won't happen...hard rock players like Buff, Ladd, Burish, Eager don't fit into the Bowman ballerina scheme.....and now Bickell gets only 11 minutes last night.

This could easily be 2-1 Chicago. It was nothing short of amazing that Rask was able to make all those save during the 1st period of game 2. All it takes is a mistake by the Bruins D and the Hawks are all over Rask.

And a mistake by the officiating system to wipe out the 2-0 goal in Game 2. Why have video review if it isn't used properly ?

Thanks home slice.

Unfortunately for you, you still appear to be caught up in the past. While the present is happening before you, and you're to ambivalent to care.
