Yup.

After that shootout goal/game winner I hope the Hockey Gods call us even for the Mason Raymond spin-o-ramma goal and we are done with circus tricks for awhile.

If I am WD, my go to shootout people from now on are:

McCan
Vrbata
Horvat

Baertschi
Sutter

There is actually no one else who has hands that is worthy of being involved in the shootout.

Those are the fans I was referring to, the whining will never stop, it's driven by talk radio.

I would love to see someone just skate up in a straight line and just wire one straight at the goalie. I don't want to see anyone hurt but IMO that that will be way more entertaining then some of the boring moves that some skaters make. I play a lot of soccer and sometimes when I take a penalty shot I just lace it at the goalie. I don't always score but it is entertaining.

That would be a pretty easy save to make, just stand still...

100 mph slapper coming straight at you is never an easy save.

Tonya harding would make sure Miller is out for awhile.

First off, not a lot of guys have a 100 mph slapper in their bag of tricks, second, it's tough to take a slap shot while skating and third, if it's coming right at you, the save doesn't get any easier.

Look for some Bryan Rolston shootouts.

a slap shot right at you from 10ft away isn't gonna be an "easy" save. guy might stop the puck, but he's gonna be hurting...

- LordHumungous

wasnt tonya harding the 1 who got hurt? Think it was nancy kerrigan who did the deed.
but that was so long ago and memory is fading

edit....no I just checked at work.... I got it backwards.... Lord was correct the 1st time

We suck at tanking.

Oh geez it sucks coming here every day to see the same crap posted daily, in huge amounts. Same whining about the same players day after day. Trade half the team blah blah blah.

Something fresh would be good....and no I don't mean fresh whining about different players. I mean lets actually debate something new or fresher. The SO point 1 yesterday was good.....done to death in the past but has been quite awhile.

OK so here's 1....this year our D is by far worse than last year. Although Bieksa wasn't a great D and most agreed he had to go, in hindsight are we actually weaker on D now without him?

nevermind the whole bieksa sbisa trainwreck pairing though, That just brought bieksa down to a new low

we suck at sucking then.

Linden needs to hire Kevin Lowe as an advisor on how to suck properly.
