Pretty much my reaction to Pirri getting traded...

"My favorite year" with Peter O'Toole as Alan Swann

Outstanding...

The Avs just won't go away. We are destined to play them in round 1. We better get home ice. The Hawks play them twice in a week. They better come out and teach them a lesson. Make a statement

It may take a day or two for someone to notice.

Maybe a week

Hopefully the Hawks won't require 60,000 and and a snow storm to get up for the matchup.

He's only had one post so far - mildly mocking.

Celebrate with me gentlemen!!!

The sad part for me in all this is that Pirri was going to be the centerpiece in any Hawk trade for Getzlaf...

There are so many average teams and players in the league. All it takes is putting in effort and playing a full 60 minutes. I hope Hawks wake up and realize how close they are to losing home ice. Playing the avs twice over the next 5 would be a good place to start

Selma Diamond, in woman's bathroom when Swann walks in: "This is for ladies only".
Swann, unzipping his pants: "So is this, ma'am, but every now and then I have to run a little water through it. "

Why? The Hawks are going to win the central.

Yeah really. I was encouraged when they beat some really good teams over the last 15 games. They just need a full 60 minute effort against all these very mediocre teams. Losing to all these jokes really hurts

Just opens up an opportunity for a late season surprise add on. Either Kontiola or Lalonde. Lol I don't know how to use the red font.

Still wearing a pair, TG. They are hovering on their last thread, so to speak. I've been (from time-to-time) taking needle and heavy thread to them to keep the girdle (that is really what it is called) together. It's a breathable mesh (at least the top line ones were at the time) and it has been slowly but surely, shredding. The mesh has to hold all the pads in there (thigh pads, kidney pads, groin pads, etc).

I played on several teams and had several shells matching the team I was playing for. This was the main attraction for me at the time -- instead of buying several (at least 2) pairs of pants at $100+ each, I could get away with the girdle and the shells/pants were somewhere in the neighborhood of $30 ea.

I always hated playing on a team with pants that totally collided with the colors of the team I was playing for.

Over time, got to love them because they were not simply hanging there but fit as part of your body's movements and they DID provide much better protection. I'd say today's pants are probably just as protective.

And there are a few co's that still make the girdle and separate shells for cover. I've tried a few different ones on and while they clearly would provide even more protection, they seem to be almost TOO much. Hence, the needle and thread routine!

Anyway, there are still some guys including me that wear them -- although today I've simply gone with a black pant shell regardless of what team I am suiting up for.

Excellent post and synopsis of the Cooper alls. Yes girdle and yes it hugs the hips nice... Was thinking too the only issue is when the mesh would rip or tear, and then stringing them back together.

I think he is safe. This time.

Sure hope you are right. I would much rather face minny or the jets in round 1 then get home ice against the Blues in round 2
