LOL! I kinda like that. Just the right amount of prick--but with a soft, buttery crust... Laughing

You're forgetting about the run they made the western conference finals on the back of my bud, Sergei Zholtok (just before he died Sad

but you're right--they haven't yet done shit...but watch out in the years ahead... They now have a head coach and they now have a GM...and, as a result, they have some incredible young talent being infused into that lineup they've pulled from the draft and some savvy trades... BTW, how are the Devils doin' this year? Is Parise lightin' the lamp? Very Happy

Fuck if I know... Been offered tickets many times--never seen them play. Probably wouldn't walk across the street to see them even if they held the game in my honor... Wink

Did your goalie just return from a 6-week layoff and score a goal in his first period back? No? Mine did Razz

No, but seriously- it's like you transfer what would have been your Viking-fan-ness to your hockey team. The 2003 Western Conference finals? Really? I have fond memories of 2003 for another reason altogether. But, how about the run my guys made to the Finals last year? That was good shit, although it came up short 2 games of what I would have really liked. I half-expect you to whip out the hockey equivalent of Helga braids and flog the dolphin to some regular-season win over the Red Wings from 2009 here.

Your coach isn't anything special, and your salary cap is tied up in two guys who are talented, but not team-carrying-types. You play in the same conference as the Blackhawks, Blues, and other really solid clubs. I'm not seeing what you're seeing. I think you guys have a really tough climb ahead of you.

Skol Wild!

I hear ya, man... Pullin' the 40 off the pond from JP's boy must rub you raw like a $20 whore who just squatted on a sandcastle, but what can ya do? Maybe a continuous loop of Scott Stevens ending Lindros' career will help ya heal... Laughing

Fuck, that video will ALWAYS heal whatever ails me Laughing

One of my favorite NHL games ever.

I wanted Parise back- but not at that price. I knew someone was going to pay him like he was "the man"- and the Wild obliged. He's great during the regular season when he gets those garbage goals, and those goals matter too, but when the playoffs roll around and shit gets real, he disappears. Those garbage goals aren't as easy to come by from April on.

I'm actually more annoyed at that friggin' gag gift in a hockey sweater named Zidlicky that you guys pawned off on us Mad

So many trades going on.

Rangers have lost Gaborik and picked up some young kid who is presently on the dl list.

What trades have taken place on your team?

NYR dumped Gabby? Wow. Why didn't they just move him back to RW instead? Wink

I'd take him back in a heartbeat--looking awfully nice on that top line with Koivu and Parise...

Not sure what's up w/the Wild. Just back from 8 days on the beach in Cabo and anything related to snow and/or ice was the last thing on my mind... sunny

Yes, wow is what we thought, too! Not sure why they didn't keep him, maybe because he only has one year left of his contract? He would fit in nicely with Koivu and Parise.

How nice for you! Cabo is beautiful! Not sure what is happening with Spring here on Long Island. We've been dropping into the 20's these past few days and barely reaching mid 40's during the day!!

What difference does it make what position Gaborik is in? Madison Square Garden is where elite scorers go to die, because Tortorella thinks those guys should be blocking shots all fucking day. I'm so glad they have that mope.

My Devils are proving the old adage "You can never have too many mediocre, over-the-hill skaters" to be tried and true. I just can't believe a guy as bright as Lamoriello looked at this team and decided that 64 year-old Steve Fucking Sullivan is the cure for what ails it.

I think Lou's just about done. Or he should be.

Interesting; 'MSG where the elite scorers go to die'. I actually thought Jagr was going to finish out his career with the Rangers, but he keeps bouncing around and now he's with Boston.

So much young talent out there, the over-the-hill-skaters need to move on, but it's also hard letting go of them, too.

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of Gaborik, Brad Richards, and countless other free agents in the Glen Sather era (no, Scott Gomez never counted Razz

). And while I realize many of those whose names I can't remember predate Torts, it always seems to be something. I can't think of a single high-profile Sather FA signing that actually went as planned. Not one. I'm stunned that he is still managing to live off of what he did 30 years ago. That in itself is a talent to be admired.

Boston is the perfect spot for Jagr, btw. You can hide him in the bottom 6, and he can still produce without having to skate 22 minutes a night.

Yup...Sheila is dead on about Tortorella. He doesn't seem to understand that motivational tactics are a custom-sized proposition depending upon character type. The one-size fits all punishment model is cave-man type shit in today's era... Sure--it works on a select breed--very well in fact...but for him to take a guy like Marian Gaborik--classic eastern European...relatively diminutive in size...quiet...understated...and going through life with the challenges associated with being male yet saddled with a name like Marian...repeatedly benching the guy and plugging him on the checking line under the auspices of shaming him and utilizing other negative reinforcement tactics does nothing but destroy the man's confidence and decay his inner spirit--thus further exacerbating his performance slump. With this type you build them up when they become down. His is not a sin of comfort in his superstar status and taking his position for granted--thus demeaning him or his role cannot be expected to incite greater achievement effort to retain his former status--but instead the opposite--just as it has... Fucking moron--takes a $7.5M/year warhorse and turns him into a $5 pony ride at the fair...

Mark my words--Gabby is FAR from done. The right coach will pull smoke from the snap shot yet again... Cool
