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.

[Beanflicker]

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.

[El Kabong]

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

[Beanflicker]

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.

The only reason diving is tolerated in soccer is because there's no fighting in soccer. In a full contact game like hockey that's played 100 mph, those players that dive will get their comeuppance one way or another.

Sid The Kid dropping the gloves .....uninspiring

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..

[El Kabong]

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.

hurricanes just beat the capitals and now the islanders... not bad :S

Working our way out of a good pick potentially

apparently this is going to be one of the deepest drafts of recent times and I think they lowered the chances of the bottom guys to get the number 1 pick, so maybe it wont make too much difference to the hurricanes, they're never going to catch buffalo for last in the league anyway :S......

Ovechkin is up to 41 goals now, do you guys think he will make it over 50 again ?

[Beanflicker]

He's on pace for 53 goals, so I think he'll hit the 50 goal mark. That's pretty impressive, scoring has been down this season for all the big guns. I don't think anyone is on pace to pass 90 points this year. It'll be the first year in over 10 years where the Art Ross recipient didn't score over 100 points.
