- Jaline0
Oh god, noooooooo
Why do my goalies have to be injured?!
Let me put them on IR, at the very least. Actually, maybe not. Then there is a better chance of them coming back sooner.

Avery may not be allowed back into the NHL! Crazy.
Short version:
""I'm just going to say one thing," Avery said. "I'm really happy to be back in Calgary; I love Canada. I just want to comment on how it's become like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my (former girlfriends). I don't know what that's about, but enjoy the game tonight." He then walked out of the locker room.
Avery's former girlfriend, actress Elisha Cuthbert of the television show "24" and the movie "Old School," is dating Calgary defenseman Dion Phaneuf. She also had been romantically linked to Montreal defenseman Mike Komisarek."
[I saw an interview where he mentioned something about "sloppy seconds"]

I don't like him at all, but I can see why certain hockey fans would (just like a lot of fans love the fighting, or just how some people like seeing other people fighting and embarrassing themselves, in general).
There's no doubt that he's disgusting, but I was surprised that he got into so much trouble about it.

Avery is a moron, but I did think the whole thing was pretty innocuous. Oh well.
Also, if anyone would like to take my position as a Lightning fan, you're more than welcome to it for a few months. I'll return next June for the Hedman/Tavares festivities.

I hope that's the end of Avery. If he was a better player maybe he would have a leg to stand on. But as it is he's not worth the hype he creates.

Why are the Rangers so fucking great at shoot outs?
Have they lost one yet this year?

I thought what Avery said was funny. Like between him and his friends ... not exactly the message the NHL wants out to the youngsters though.
This suspension is fucking ridiculous though. Kind of cements all the comments Avery has said about Bettman and the NHL in general the past few years.
- Well...Avery was talking to the entire press about it. And, according to the NHL, they are trying to clean up their image.Jaline
- I don't like them either, but I don't like Avery too.Jaline
- Still ... the coach going on about how he doesn't think Sean can come back to the team now ... this is fucking ridiculous.flavorful
- ridiculous. The Stars are awful as it is, the coach should be fired and Turco benched.flavorful

hey, matt31, you have 5 players on IR! Try harder, man! Try harrrdeerrrr
- ninjasavant0
Watching the boston v nj game on versusHD, the on ice mic mix sounds weird. Too much stick sound not enough skate sound. Sounds like a campfire.
- I know what you mean. Sometimes the sound is weird and only picks up on specific noises.Jaline
- They must have read my post, they're back from commercial and it sounds better.ninjasavant

Flashes of brilliance is not going to get the Penguins to the playoffs.
The Lightning?! Holy Christo.
- Jaline0
Don't worry, we got beaten by Atlanta.
That's right. You heard me right, folks. And not by 1 goal. Like 4 goals.
The top line is doing pretty well, but I can't stand the shite-esque nature of most of the other players - primarily the ones who paid a lot to score. (I've already mentioned them: Fisher, Vermette, and Kelly and Neil on a lower level. I'm sure there are more).
- Jaline0
On the bright side, maybe the top teams from like two years ago will get the best prospects? lol
- flavorful0
Kelly for sure. He was a beast like two seasons ago and now he might as well be on IR.
- He's still really good on the power play, so at least he's doing something. Fisher is here until like 2013, wtfJaline
- He is hot though...Jaline
- Hahhaa, that's something that you can't account for on the per year $tatus.flavorful
- no kidding. DiPietro would be making more than he is wor....oh...wait....Jaline
- PWNT~!flavorful
- heh. I once found a forum where girls were mourning the fact that he had a wife, lolJaline
- hahaha, and I'll die alone. G-d damn it!flavorful

I'm going to win this pool...
