the shots back then seem slower compare to ones in today's game which are fast like laser beam

I know right! They built it up so well too! That's one of the better 5 minute sports clips you'll see, and it was ruined. Fucken youtube.

Man since posting those vids, I have been hooked on watching old hockey footage from the 70's and 80's. I came across this:


Andre Dupont does the LAPPY DANCE~!

How awkward would it be if Luongo upsets Thomas for the Vezina? :troll:

it would be epic!

i still believe Thomas will have a crappy season next year

*Underline choices are my picks....the GM could go either to Yzerman or Gillis IMO

^ mostly agree with u except

Masterton - Emery
Messier award - Lidstrom

cant believe it was one week ago..that there was a game 7 here....

felt like it was months ago eh?

I was never too clear with the Jack Adams award. Does it go to the coach who's improved the team the most? Coach who has the most wins?

really dont think datsyuk will take it this year

maybe if he was healthy for the full season - but kesler was simply amazing this year

I would guess it would be the coach who used their resources the best

does not have to be an improvement or the most wins....but someone who had maybe a lot of injuries to deal with or a team that had many new players and still did well

totally missed that... agreed that its keslers award to lose

“I hope he enjoys the Vezina because he’s probably going to win it,” said Luongo, one of four Canucks up for individual awards Wednesday night.

lidstrom for norris and messier trophy. skinner calder, thomas vezina, kesler selke, coach v jack adams, yzerman gm award

luongo sounds so bitter,

Hart - Daniel
Vezina - Thomas
Selke - Kesler
Byng - St.Louis
Calder - Skinner
Norris - Weber
Masterton - Emery
Foundation Player - Sedins
Jack Adams - AV
Lindsay - Daniel
GM - MG
Messier - Lidstrom

Other than Selke, I'm kind of going for homer picks haha

Just realized thanks/failed got removed...

Its because we don't like you....


The reason why they aren't there is because of some updates that are going on. It'll take a few hours to work everything out, they'll be back soon enough.

anyone knows whens the awards tonight??

and im guessing its gonna be on tsn?

CBC
4pm

8pm*

Hart - Perry
Vezina - Thomas
Selke - Kesler
Byng - WHO CARES
Calder - Skinner
Norris - Weber
Masterton - Emery
Foundation Player - Sedins
Jack Adams - Bylsma
Lindsay - Perry
GM - Gillis
Messier - Lidstrom

I think Bylsma wins the Adams, I think. He took a roster with no Crosby and Malkin and Staal most of the year and made the playoffs. Completely changed his coaching style to fit his players...a simple, defensive game that wins. AV has a good shot as anyone would after winning the Presidents.

I'd pick Perry for the Hart. Without him, the Ducks don't make the playoffs. Without Daniel, the Canucks still probably 1st in the NHL.
