After reading through JJ's thread I can't believe the refs cost the Hawks the game on that clean Seabrook hit.

I believe JJ and Esplen are either related or BFF's

JJ's a homer but I don't mind him. Every now and then you can even make him see your point. That thread is full of lunatics though.

I agree, I was just mostly remarking that both tend to lean towards homer-ism (which I never felt was a bad thing, actually - if you cover a certain team then obviously you are going to be a fan of that team and have at least a minimum bias when reporting/writing blogs.

Then again, there is homerism and there is HOMERISM (paging Richard Cloutier, paging Cloutier, very important phone call from reality, it says it misses you)

(frank) Chicago St. Louis and Backes.

There's no (frank)ing excuse to spear someone. There are plenty of excuses for hitting someone. IMO they should punish dirty non-hockey violence WAY harsher than unfortunate results from a hockey play. I've been pissed off enough to drop the gloves plenty of times, but I only had 2 anger blackouts where I lost my mind & left someone in a bloody pile on the ice. Both times I was retaliating to a spear. I'll take your best hit any day... Try to knock me over. But if you come at me with stickwork, you'll require postgame dental work and/or plastic surgery.

So do you think the same of Burrows who did the same thing to Staal two years ago when the rangers where playing in Vancouver . The thing about the Staal one was it was a regular season game

tinking we need more Swedes...

Philadelphia should have interest anyway. All should be available for the right price depending upon what Linden or future GM maps out - reload, retool, rebuild, new coat of paint or tank to the bottom.
