They spent too much on their backup goalie :troll:

DJ Steve Porter (who??) makes an autotune rap
song about the Gretzky trade. "I promised Mess"

Hockey and rap go together? :-/

He does tons of them, a lot of them are pretty fricking good.

I like "One Clap" then again I'm a Vikings fan.

$230 million in debt reported for the Devils.

I get this on google, but the link is dead.
It was replaced by this.
Maybe the Russians can buy the Devils. Kovalchuk can be captain.

Wow, good spot. I would've just thought he was your regular older white dude.

Fuck yeah. Hope The Finnish Flash never retires.

Whitney - Selanne - Jagr
Niedermayer - Lidstrom
Hasek

:fullofwin:

I'd ice that lineup of old-timers against at least 20 of the 30 top lines in the NHL today. You know all these dudes, retired or not, still have a few years of top end play.

Lol amongst like my buddies dads/my dads friends there's provably 5-6 julien look alikes lol

Child hood line up :hat:

im sure they can beat 15/30 teams starting line up today

^ Funny how you mention childhood..

I was thinking today, it was a childhood dream of mine to take 10 penalty shots against an NHL goaltender.. back then I had all the confidence in the world and thought I would score no problem. My dad told me I was crazy, and he was right, I was 12. Took 10 years off hockey between the ages of 15-25 and have been playing the past 7 seasons. I wonder how many I would get in, if any, today.

Lu is clearly not the best in shootouts (although I was 9 rows right behind him when he stoned Crosby several years ago, EPIC) and I honestly think I'd get at least 1 in, maybe 2.. no offence to Lu, I think I'd get one in on any NHL goalie.

I just think it would be neat to see how much net he would take up as I skate down and look for a hole. Some goalies just seem to cover the entire net and I'm sure Lu would be even more intimidating than anyone I've ever played against... still, I'm fairly confident I'd get 1 or 2 in.. it would be awesome if I could somehow live out my childhood dream and take 10 against him. :considered:

/fantasy

I could probably score one in a hundred shots.

In a way, its a game of chicken... and in a fucked up way, the goalie probably has noo idea what you are capable of, but you have all the clips on youtube to analyze the goalie.

not an unrealistic thought at all.

you sound like this guy,at least he's got a story to tell now

^ lol, that guy can't skate very well.

I'd probably look like a Sedin out there and think I'm flying like Bure :lol

I've always wondered - with my 6-7 years of recreational hockey, if you gave me a regular shift in a NHL game, how would I fare? Would I look like a total idiot and never even touch the puck? :lol

Yes.

even if your sole goal was just to touch the puck it probably wouldnt happen

:okay:
Ok I may be bad, but not THAT bad. :badpokerface:

Honestly sometimes we think these guys are overpaid bums but they are really gifted athletes (although still overpaid lol).
When you watch them up close in person you really learn to appreciate the athletism and skill they possess. Not only would you not even touch the puck but you should already consider yourself lucky that you can survive a shift without someone like Lucic sending you to the hospital in a stretcher haha ...

In a shootout situation, I also highly doubt you would be able to score ANY at all vs any NHL-caliber goalie (not to mention an All-World like Lu). Not to knock your hockey skills, but I'm willing to bet that your wrist-shot would probably look like a slow-motion floater to him.

Similarly in basketball, the "scrubs" in NBA like Kwame Brown and Andrea Bargnani would absolutely DEMOLISH every single person in Vancouver. In a game of 2 on 2, first to 5 points wins. Any of us would lose 100 out of 100 games guaranteed.

I would enjoy imagining a fantasy like that, but if an established NHL (backup) goalie took you seriously on 10 penalty shots, you probably wouldn't score any.

To compare our recreational beer league skills vs. people that get paid to play well and train almost year round, there's no comparison.

I agree, there is a better chance that I would go 0 for than put 1 in, let alone the possibility of 2.

Would still like to try though. :concentrate:

Speaking of dangles..This man at 35, still dangles. and does it well

At 35 Hockey?s Quiet Superstar Still Dangles

its a longer than usual read, so here is a snippet

As for this one.. CTV vs CBC for NHL rights, yes CBC is negotiating with the NHL again for broadcast rights, outside of the money, CBC holds the upper hand....this article fact? or just an opinion

CTV and Bell Media Need to Commit More if they Want Hockey Night in Canada/Stanley Cup Rights

Nice article, though found it annoying they don't have the youtube clips associated with the plays they mention.

Has anybody seen that postcard picture of Chris Higgins with his extended family at a barbecue in New Hampshire state? -checking out the hot blonde in the bikini, on the left side of the picture. Higgins? He's in the middle of the picture.

He's got eye candy in his family. :)

Postcards from Higgins - VI - Vancouver Canucks - Features

Ehh picture is kinda small... plus, the sunglasses can hide a lot! Can't deny the hot body though. :p
