They wouldn't go after Crosby. They'd go after Shaun White or some other more "household" name. Sadly, outside of Canada and hockey factions, Crosby is just some guy who's good at that weirdo sport.

You think Shaun White is much more of a household name than Crosby?

can you imagine something happening to Crosby? Pierre would stab himself in the groin on camera

It was all I could come up with. And yes, I do, because he's an X Games (read: ESPN) mini-celebrity and was the doll of the 2010 ceremonies. People know who he is. I would have said Lindsey Vonn, but she's out.

That's because all the liberal channels are too afraid to put it out because it might offend some people. Because liberal is defined as "evil and bad." Everything liberal is scared and conservative is always good. Train of thought successfully lost.

There wasn't enough anti-Obama in there, C-.

I would have chosen one of the members of the Jamaican Bobsled Team myself...

Wait until 9 PM tonight.

If they REALLY wanted to do some damage, there are already a number of well-encased bombs hidden in dozens hotels that will house both team members as well as tourists. You can't search everywhere, and if they're small enough, the dogs won't be able to sniff the trace elements.

can you imagine something happening to Crosby? Bettman would have a stroke
- vejim

Forget Bettman, Pierre Maguire would kill himself.

Hmmm then again.....

Well he's the one pulling the strings, duh.
Also, it's his fault that the programming for the AHC site was faulty. What was he thinking, trying to personally program the entire website himself?

I think the new saying is you can kill 2 doves with 1 crow.

The Caucasus Emirate is a Chechen separatist movement/state... they're anti-Russian, first and foremost.

Weren't the Boston Marathon people from there?

I'm afraid that, when I have the Olympics on, something horrible is going to happen.. and it will be something big enough to start a massive war. All I know is something happens to an American athlete overseas at the hands of some rebel terrorist on live television.... lock n load, boys; sh!ts goin down.

No, they were Kyrgyzstani/Russian citizens of Chechen-Avar ethnicity.

And they were protesting American involvement in Iraq/Afghanistan, not Russian oppression in Chechnya.

I guess if Rodman was safe in North Korea, there is nothing to worry about.

(frank) these guys. Flyers will beat Detroit tonight and win 2 out of 3 in Cali

I watched the Kings/Sharks game last night and it's amazing how much the forwards help the defenseman. Especially the Kings. The gap between the defenseman and forwards is so small.
- PhillySportsGuy

Yep...said this the other day:

exlund: Friday @ 1:56 PM ET
"when you watch the better teams, even those blessed with mobile, skilled puck movers, the forwards have more of an active backchecking presence in the defensive zone and support the D better...you often see a forward "carrying the mail" out of the D zone instead of the D being left alone, deep in the zone, without good options because there's too much of a gap between them and the forwards."

Drop Raffl to the 4th line.....ok berube. Raffl might be the one player that can fit seamlessly anywhere into a western lineup. He skates fast, has size, moves the puck sharply and decisively, good defensively. Maybe not the best hands around the net. But what a joke he's the one getting demoted. Flyers will lose this kid i'm sure in a trade

I wouldn't allow the players over there if I was an owner. You have a vested interest in their safety, and right now I wouldn't want any player, especially a US born player, over in a hostile environment.
- Panthers88

The owners and NHL should make the players but insurance to play over there, just like they did for playing in KHL over the lockout.

why would the nhl pull out? you mean the nhl players?

To prevent baby bettmans from running around?

I had a dream last night Homer traded Coburn and Mason to EDM for Nail and Laughton and a 1st for Miller and Myers.

I guess I should say nightmare, huh?
- hereticpride

I dont know if I would complain too much, but EDM 1 would have to come back in the deal... and we could include Hartnell.

Yea, cause Chechen's love America... and Boston the most.

By doing what for the current season? Should they intentionally lose? Just not show up?
- jmatchett383

give it all they got but move older assets
