Corny, and I tried not to laugh, but failed.

Sorry - it's been a slow day for me... but I'm glad it was worth at least one laugh.

Yeah. The tsn guys mentioned that now mcdavid will be getting players every game trying to rile him, after he showed he can lose focus.

Good luck with that.

Hanrahan feels Conner's pain

Good luck with that.

Eh, it could work. Early in his career Crosby was very easily rattled by certain players.

Haha. Hopefully someone shows him that movie so he can learn. Man that's a classic.

It's weird. The air temp is coldish (around 40) but the sun is still relentless...kind of makes it feel warmer than it is.

Then the wind blows. Or you hit shade.




Thanks everyone by the way. Great group we have in here.

Just saw your earlier post, sorry for your loss.

Good luck with that.

Well they're going to try. You know it after this.

Somewhere Derian Hatcher is smiling

I've been to probably 400 games in my life time and last night's game had to be one of the most fun regular season games i've been to. the crowd was electric.

it didn't really translate on tv.

glad you got to be there. would have loved gene hart calling that one.

i was surprised to find out that the goalies weren't honored pre-game or anything like that. just video clips during commercial breaks etc? meh.

broadcast showed clarke, peeters and hextall in the box upstairs. warmed my bitter heart.

Just ordered my Provorov jersey.

i hope to god it wasn't one of those (frank)ing anniversary jerseys.

haha i said that on FB last night....felt like an 80's Flyers Edmonton game!
- nastyflyergirl

as did i. and i haven't felt a spec of emotion for edmonton in decades until last night.

I have returned from believing.

Long week. Death in the family during a trip to Vegas for a pharmacy convention for post grad training.

sorry to hear that GiG. my condolences.

When was he whining about it? I saw the video of the presser. McDavid didn't mention it, until he was asked about it in the media scrum.
- MJL

I wouldn't have even addressed it. he came across as whining about it. Boo hoo he did it on purpose. I like McDavid but last night he came across very immature but he is 19.

the arena was electric. it was cool for a December game against a western opponent. I think this city is just thirsty for a team that is winning. they interviewed Boosh, Bernie, Peeters and Pelle's fiancee on the board.

Well of course he defends him, he's the son Gretzky never had

Maybe, but I disagree that he lost focus in the game last night.

I think the entire situation is being overblown.

I immediately changed Jari's name to Ilkka. I'm headed off to court this morning.

- MJL

Yeah, didn't seem unfocused to me but something was said that bugged him.

And like you said earlier, if that was an unfocused McDavid, look the frank out when he's focused. lol

I'll send him a case of tissues

If that was true, it's scary. He played like a star last night. That blinding speed, along with incredible hands and vision. He backs off defenders with the speed, and then hits the brakes, and dishes to cutting wingers. What a player.

- nastyflyergirl

He doesn't need them!

He doesn't need them!
- MJL

defend him all you want but he came across as a baby. I'll chalk it up to him being 19

hes as good while unfocused as he is when focused...kind of like with/without the puck. it is why he is so good
