I've got a game tonight against a team that is typically VERY good. If we keep our line changes quick and play good position hockey we should give them a hard run. I need to score some damn goals though, I've got to have better stickhandling too. I played pretty sloppy the last game but did well enough to not really hamper the team. We've just got to get goals quick, defend well and keep the line changes fast.

Bit of trouble in the capitals v penguins.. Ovechkin smashed letang and letang is hurt bad, and some wrestling at the following faceoffs....

Did anyone see the ovechkin letang hit? whats wrong with it, I don't fully understand ice hockey rules yet, he's certainly upset the penguins..

actually it might have been kunitz instead of letang

The two handed slash you mean? It was pretty blatant

[El Kabong]

Well my damn game got cancelled because the other team didn't have enough players....fucking ridiculous. We can't seem to have a game a week so we can find a groove it's a game every other week and it sucks.


Ovechkin's slash on Letang was pretty shitty as was his opt out of a fight against Kunitz. That's another thing the Ruskies and Europeans don't do well.....fight.

I'll give Ovi the benefit of the doubt on that, he was probably trying to draw the instigator penalty on Kunitz or Perron. Ovi's a beast and one of the few Russian stars that can hold his own.

Kovalchuk was another guy cut from that cloth, over 6 foot and 230-240lbs of muscle. I remember Braydon Schenn picking a fight with Kovalchuck and getting rag dolled and knocked out quick.

At first look I thought "Oh, Ovi was going for a slapshot and Letang skated in front of him"...after the replays there's no denying he slashed the shit out of him. And what started it?




BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!


Fucking divers suck

Getslaf called him out pretty good a few days ago for diving. Hopefully the post-game fines for diving will put an end to that shit. That kind of thing belongs on the soccer field, not in a real manly game.

I saw it later in the replay, I wasn't paying full attention to the game at the time, so I thought it was the hit on kunitz that started the rumble but I was incorrect..

We had a decent game vs the top team in our league on Sunday. I got an assist and was right behind a guy who got his teeth knocked out with a stick to the grill but we lost 5-2.
