Quoted from ImNotNorm:Tony DeAngelo placed on waivers by the NYR.
After hearing that I was like....
[quoted image]
Rumours of Georgiev punching DeAngelo last practice.
Quoted from Malenko:happy Mike Emeric retired (he was nails on a chalkboard and I think he just liked to hear himself talk) , sad to see Bill Clement retire from the local Philly broadcasts.
Also sad about Bill Clement retiring. He was with the Flyers for years and knew a lot about the game.
Mile Emeric was also with the Flyers back in the 80's (worked with Clement) before going turncoat and working for the Devils. I would rather listen to him all day, every day, than spend 5 minutes listening tp Pierre McGuire.
I was happy w the performance/result of last night’s game vs the Jets. Demko looked very solid tween the pipes, Brock Boeser continued to score a few more goals. Jets have beaten Vancouver 10 straight times going into this game, nice to end that streak. After a bit of an ugly sluggish start, the nux have 4 wins in a row. Next up..Price & the habs..

Funny reading it as glen resch! It’s Chico man..no luv for Mike palmateer, or Mike Liut?!
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:How bout them Habs!?
Like I said before....they look scary!
Winnipeg looks good even though HelluvaBuick is off to a uncharacteristic start.
Also...I love Paul Maurice.
"You're beeking my captain!"

Early days... on both accounts.
Helly looked a little rough on a few goals. Sure he'll bounce back.

You jinxed them. Losing to Ottawa 3-1 right now.

So the Habs "look scary"???? They played one game so far against a team that's above 500 and lost tonight vs the Sens.......you can order your playoff tickets now but don't pay for the 3rd round.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Touchdown in Toronto tonight. Didn't see that coming.
It was against the struggling Canucks. I really don’t know why I race home to watch them..this team is hard to watch lately , shitty in every aspect, except Quinn Hughes. He’s up there in points for a d men, but a minus 7 going into Toronto. Kinda surprised I got no smack from Cndnpinbacon

One bad game tonight. It happens.
The point of only beating teams above .500 goes out the window when you play the same 7 teams 7-8 times a season and no one else.
They have the best goals for in the league right now and seem to score at will. (Tonight being the exception)
The only thing shaky about them is Price's frame of mind and health. Having a solid backup to lighten the load will help Price come playoff time.
Adding a Reaves like tough guy for the playoffs will make them scarier.

I had high hopes for the Canucks this season. But what the heck is going on?

Won’t kick you while your down .. Canucks looked bad, what’s with all the dumb penalties? That happens when your chasing the puck all the time. Turned it off midway through the 3rd period.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:You jinxed them. Losing to Ottawa 3-1 right now.
I knew it would happen!
Hopefully they aren't the replacement for Detroit last year. Still can't believe Detroit swept the season last year.

Huemanatee already said everything I would.

It’s all good man..the boys have played a lot of game’s already, and look tired w all the penalties they’ve taken. Their special teams..not so special. Lots of inconsistencies, the d looks terrible. But who knows, maybe they can turn it around like the blues did a few years ago..and no, I’m not high..
Just watching the highlights from last night. Good on Benn for stepping up, but he was outclassed in this one and was lucky he didn't get his face rearranged.

..Best Leafs team in 52 years?
Matthews is sensational
I bash minor Midget marner but no more these kids are special ..Mathews marner combo is deadly . Rip my best friend I lost many years ago..He would be happiest guy in the world

What a pylon Myers is...man he stunk
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:What a pylon Myers is...man he stunk
The new Dana Murzyn! It starts up top w Benning. He’s pretty good at drafting, but so shitty at dealing contracts..THAT is what has handcuffed this team. Coach Green can only play w what management can afford. Sure, coach should get a bit of blame,as the players should be accountable too. But a lot of this is on management!

you mean 54 years
Quoted from luch:you mean 54 years
Small window to win now. Mr cap is tapping at our shoulders
How much is Matthew s going to cost ..another Edmonton ?
1978 1993 and 1994 , made it to the semi finals , should been toronto v montreal final in 93 except for the missed call on the Gretzky high stick , damn Kerry Fraser ( I think the hair spray was put on a little to thick that day )
Quoted from ImNotNorm:All these postponed games are wreaking havoc on my hockey pool!!!!
Yeah it's crazy trying to do a Fantasy League this year

Unbelievable he didn't make that call. What a goof.
Quoted from meSz:Yeah it's crazy trying to do a Fantasy League this year
I may not make my goalie starts for the week. (We need 4 goalie starts a week and the goalie categories are 1/3 of all stats!!!!)
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Unbelievable he didn't make that call. What a goof.
saw him at the all star game in toronto in 2000 , and i asked him about the non call , he kind of just shrugged his shoulders and said , sarcastically, i guess i missed that one ! i think he knew he screwed up !

Fuck off! Did you really? Kuddos to you buddy!
What always bothered me the most about Kerry Fraser was the hair.
Quoted from meSz:Yeah it's crazy trying to do a Fantasy League this year
My friends did not do one this year

Habs would have won anyways.
Nobody was beating Roy that year. He single handedly carried the team on his back.

When does Matthews get his next deal?
They are already in cap hell. Can't sign defenseman or a new Goalie after Andersen leaves next year.
Hopefully not offending anyone here, as this is an honest question....
How do you guys remember all of this stuff and know all the stats and every game etc etc.
I love hockey, enjoy watching, but I typically just watch leaf games when I can and couldn't tell you much about other teams unless I know the major names...
I'm sure if all I did was watch sports news and other things I'd catch on to more, but I feel like I'd get completely lost with all the stats.
You talk about fantasy leagues and I feel like I'd be at a total loss (or extremely lucky) if I ever tried to play along.
I just feel insignificant in this thread and wish I could add more.
Btw,
Go leafs go!

Don't feel inadequate. I have an uncanny ability to remember the most mundane minutia.
Being involved in fantasy hockey helps with stats too. And I don't have the NHL network or watch games every night. I do however like to watch the sportsnet YouTube highlights of each game the next day. (It's usually condensed to 5-6 minutes of highlights for each game)
