Oh you were finished? Well allow me to retort! Avoiding fights with the Boston Bruins will only temporarily suspend your ass-kicking. Eventually they will get you. They will throw away a 2-1 game just to f*ck you up. Beware, because we're Stanley-Cup-Hungover and we just don't give a f*ck.

/would be nice if I was on the team
//and tough enough to punch somebody

As a Giants fan I hope the Rangers win this year.



/but then 41 & 43 will both get Rings if that happens.

FTFA: World Series: Fans look forward to a mid-game tradition called "the seventh-inning stretch", in which everyone stands around and listens to a song from 1908.
NHL: Fans look forward to a mid-game tradition called "Coach's Corner", in which everyone stands around and listens to opinions from 1908.

As a hockey fan and as a Canadian, this one wins.

There is much wrong with the game today, Don Cherry is not one of them.

He's a sideshow, a clown for controversy and Albertan-bred bigotry.

Ugh... What a cluster fark of a game that was. Gleason's a little biatch, but the Bruins should know better. Just an all around embarrassing display, in my opinion.

When it turned into amateur hour and folks started throwing stuff on the ice, I went to bed.

Hopefully, they get their shiat together soon, but it is hard to get too worked up about shiatty play after last season.

I guess even Julien got in on the action with a game misconduct of his own. *facepalm*


On a plus side, I totally enjoyed being in Chicago for the game on Saturday. Never been to the United Center before. Nice barn they got out there. With the exception of a couple of drunken jackasses sitting behind us who were heckling us for most of the first period (until they got ejected by security), everyone we met was awesome. It was funny meeting so many 'Hawks fans who like the Bruins as the 'Hawks are my favorite Western Conference team.

Go Bruins!

I'm looking forward to seeing which Irish team becomes the "World Champions" of Gaelic Football this year.

And which Indian team will become "World Champions" of Kabaddi?

The suspense is killing me.

Trapper439: I'm looking forward to seeing which Irish team becomes the "World Champions" of Gaelic Football this year.

Pretty sure they use "All Ireland Champions" for GAA Championships...

But I agree with your point. Calling it the "World Series" is a little strange.

The much more important point, as stated in the article, is that both the New York Rangers and Washington Capitals suck. Focus people!

I found this to be quite humorous, as did my woman, and she (the poor dear) is a Rangers fan.

ciderczar: It was named after Pulitzer's newspaper, The World. Dunno why they never found a new sponsor after The World ceased to be though.

You know, I remember hearing that in the past... I'm not really much of a baseball fan, so sometimes it takes a good whack to the head to jar those little bits of info loose. At least they didn't call it the New York Post Series.

Ha!

/Let's Go Islanders

The Capitals suck so bad they are off to their best start ever. So there.

Good thing all those wins in October guarantee a Stanley Cup eh?

I'm (obviously) no Caps fan, but not winning the Cup does not equal sucking. Regardless of the zero Cups, it's pretty hard to argue that the Caps have sucked the past few years.

I realize I'm not being fun here. But this is why we can't have nice things when it comes to sports discussions. It bothers me.

S.A.S.Q.U.A.T.C.H.: We're gonna play a cute little road game, punch you in the head and stick you, then refuse to drop the gloves when it's time. It's ok because the memo out this week is that Jay Beagle causes brain injury, so every linesman is in a scrum like an octopus and Devo is handing out 10's like Pez.

Yeah, I hate the strategy, but it worked for 'em last night. Bruins got frustrated and took some stupid penalties. The high stick on Chara was a little weak... didn't look like his stick ever touched the 'Cains' player.

They were hanging in there until the Horton/Gleason incident. Bruins lost their composure and it cost them the game.

But the ultimate goal is championships. No one will remember that the 2009 Capitals had a nice season. They will remember that they weren't the champions. I was using a bit of hyperbole about the Caps but the point stands.

bottsicus: /Was happy to see Rich Peverley keep his head on straight, though.

He's been one of the few highlights to what is basically a dismal start to the season for the Bruins...

bottsicus: I'm a big fan of Peverley because we share an Alma Mater, and because he was such a huge contributor to the Cup run... He may have been the only guy who didnt log any PIM last night...

He's a solid role player, as they like to say... One of my favorite new Bruins, too. Where did he (and you) go to school?

swahnhennessy: ciderczar: It was named after Pulitzer's newspaper, The World. Dunno why they never found a new sponsor after The World ceased to be though.

That's a popular myth.

Heh... And there we go. Another bit of useless information I'll rarely use. : ) Silly Baseball.

Thanks for the info.

bottsicus: St. Lawrence University. Unfortunately I never got to see him play in a Saints sweater, as I graduated the year before he arrived. Random fact: Although SLU is a pretty solid hockey school generally (although very small) Peverley is the first ever grad to win the Cup as a player. We've had a few grads win the Cup as coaches or front office staff, but no players until Peverley.

Nice... Did he bring the Cup by for a visit?

So.... apparently Boston melted down last night. What happened?

Doc Daneeka: bottsicus: And the Maple Leafs are leading their division.

No, they're not.

Give it another 9 hours, that'll fix itself again.

Doc Daneeka: bottsicus: And the Maple Leafs are leading their division.

No, they're not.

Of all the teams in the division, Buffalo is looking the best right now, in my opinion... Still way early in the season, of course, but there's a lot of talent on that team and they're clicking together at the moment.

Time Traveling Bunnies: So.... apparently Boston melted down last night. What happened?

Eh... Boston got behind early. Ward was standing on his head. 'Cains were getting under the Bruins' skin and frustrating the hell out of them. It eventually boiled over, and the Bruins took a bunch of stupid penalties and gave up two PP goals in the third. It just got worse from there with over 60 minutes in penalties for the Bs with Julien eventually getting the heave ho.

IntotheAbyss: FreakinB: Ha!

/Let's Go Islanders
//yeah, I know

The only place the Islanders are going is Kansas City

Meh. I feel like there's enough of a movement to at least keep them in the area, if not in Nassau County. Not trying to think about it anyway, there's still 4 years on the lease.
