Who's trying to fight anyone from our top 6?

Simmonds has 1 fight in a lost game
Schenn has 1 fight in a won game
Kane has 2 fights 1 in a win & 1 in a loss
Lucic has 2 fights 1 in a win & 1 in a loss, he also has 3 misconducts all in lost games.

Fighting is in the game for entertainment reasons, have you noticed how many fights are happening in Nascar, it's because the stands are empty.

I do know that fights are down.

Our team top 6 does not hit ,or fight. Teams never have any fear about playing our team . Zero

Things aren't looking good for Voynov

Which means the price for D-men is going up even more.

And expansion is coming, it's Bettmans plan to raise scoring be reducing the number of good defense men.

The third one should be pretty good. I am a huge Tolkien fan and I definitely think Peter Jackson dropped the ball but it's entertaining and the vistas are fantastic

I am more excited than my son.

I agree the first two Hobbit moves are not as good as LOTR. It is almost like when they did the prequels for Star Wars. Lots of silly little things that seemed aimed at youngsters but any parent with a clue wouldn't let a youngster see them.

No they dont

Interesting little nugget.

Canucks top line 39 hits after 30 games. Oilers 89 hits , after 30 games, 37 by
Hall which is two less than our top line. As I was saying this team is soft as butter

Yep I can't stand all the chase scenes that apparently are imitations of a Donkey Kong level. They could have done it in 2 movies and made it far more serious. I watched the first LOTR when I was 9 and I (frank)ing loved it. No need to intentionally pander to kids, they can recognize quality

We watched the Desolation of Smaug the other night and there are so many inconsistencies that it was frustrating at times. I noticed, tried to overlook but my son was quick to point them out.

Smaug has a great sense of smell and can smell the dwarfs before they are even close to him and then he starts chasing them and can't smell or find them anymore? - It looked great visually but... (yeah, those chase scenes)

Will try to remember it is fantasy eye candy and hopefully it will be fun.

Not sure if anyone here is into these movies, but we were talking the other day about cars, and I got free tickets to see a sneak peek of the new Hobbit movie tonight thanks to VW and being a member of their owners club.

Taking my little 15 year old son, hopefully the movie doesn't blow chunks...

Looking forward to seeing if Bettman is in this one.

Well it is a kids book so there are definitely some areas where the story itself is inconsistent but that whole scene with the melting of the gold and whatnot was really just Peter Jackson showing everyone his big computer generated cock and eating up enough time to justify three movies
