Well the Hurricanes have finally started to win a few matches and that's nice (although it fucks them up for the #1 draft pick), but oh well...hopefully they can make a playoff push.

As for my beer league hockey...I've been busting my ass to make a difference but just can't seem to mesh with my teammates. I've only got 1 goal and 4 assists, but have been getting to play center more and that's nice. Granted my typical role on a hockey team is the enforcer but I like to grind and I like to be a power forward as well, but I'm not as good at those things because I grew up playing defense and doing nothing but hitting. I am most impressed with this stat though 0 .....those are my PIMs....which is MIGHTY impressive since I used to average (average mind you) 4 minutes a game (depending on the ref).

Not really a hockey fan, but saw this on SportsCenter the other day and thought it was pretty spectacular.



Griffith scores no-look between the legs goal Video - NHL VideoCenter

Great goal but like the announcer said Schneider should have had that one.

[TitoFan]

Yeah, I hear ya.

A veteran goalie would know there was no place for Griffith to go from that angle, but between the legs.
Tough to be second-guessed like that, but they're pros.

[Beanflicker]

Yeah, shit happens. It was just perfect timing, Schiender's pad was coming down. Another 1/10th of a second and the puck doesn't go in. Sweet goal though.

The best thing for them to do is sink to the bottom of the league and compete with Buffalo for the #1 draft pick. It's a shit team that's not going to make the playoffs, they should start stockpiling #1 draft picks like Edmonton and Colorado did for a few years. Try to luck into picking up the next Nathan MacKinnon.

Here's some history! Hockey is an amazing sport! it's inclusive boxing as well! fun to watch.

Overall, I am happily surprised that the Bruins didn't lost their last 10 games with their depleted D-line. I cross my fingers for a Big Z and Krug's early return.

[El Kabong]

The Canes had 45 shots the other night and the Sharks ROOKIE goalie had 45 saves.....fucking hell

[El Kabong]

Got a little banged up the other day in a loss lots and lots of missed opportunities. Of course the other teams goalie was just in top form.

I liked seeing Toronto get fucking hammered two games in a row. 9-2 loss to the Preds, OUCH.

Seguin has been exploding ever since leaving Boston, that's got to be one of the worst trades in the last 15 years. They gave him away for next to nothing, after trading away a guaranteed 30+ goal scorer to get the pick to draft him. Brutal
