The Penguins took another day off from being awesome and winning today while they wait for Laraque (Spanish for "the raque") and Gobblerts to arrive from their wonderful paradisios. When asked where the offense has gone, coach Michel Therrien said this: "DOCTOR EMMITT BROWN TOOK IT TO APRIL WHEN WE'LL NEED IT THE MOST. END TRANSMISSION"

The Bruin organization needs a complete overhaul. Remember, this is Chiarelli's first season as GM for the BruCru. Remember the Mike O'Connnell era?
Long story short, the Bruins are an average franchise right now, like the rest of the Original Six, stagnating thanks to a lack of creativity and ingenuity. |

*sigh* Oh, Penguins. How I mourn thee.

I probably wouldn't consider his comments valid, except maybe in an alternate dimension where the Penguins aren't in the playoffs and are moving or folding.

I think he just watched March of the Penguins. Oh, the plight of the penguin is a sad one. :(

Penguins lost again tonight thanks to some more shoddy defense and goaltending. Someone forgot to tell the Pens front office that you can't always outscore the other team.
In other news:
Tomas Kaberle got blasted by Cam Janssen and the Leafs did nothing in retaliation, despite the hit being late, an elbow, and Janssen leaving his feet. No penalty was called, and Janssen sat for the rest of the game. He'll almost certainly be fined, and the refs will get a talking to. Which all of them should, every night. The refs screw something up night after night. |

Sweet Jesus, how the fuck did that not get a call, especially at least a double minor. After all, Kaberle got rid of the puck well prior taking that nasty hit and elbow. 'Tis fucked up.

In before BZ comparing it to Neil's hit on Drury.

Fuck off. |
Neil's hit was cleaner than Janssen's, no doubt. I like how the Maple Leafs did NOTHING in response. "One of best players was injured on a late hit! LET'S GO GET 'EM!"
*tickle tickle* |
It wasn't a cheap shot at all. Drury was admiring his pass. You learn to keep your head up and know where other players are on the ice when you're ten years old. It wasn't illegal, it wasn't late as defined by the NHL rulebook, and getting mad about it when your team tried to pick fights with soft danglers like Spezza just makes you look like a joke.

GO FLAMES GO!
Battle of Alberta... FUCKING ROCKED IT! Anybody have a video of Phaneuf's hit in the 3rd? I can't remember who he smoked, but he got him good. |

Penguins ownership declares an impasse in their attempts to reach a deal on an arena in Pittsburgh and "will aggressively explore relocation." Within the last few minutes, however, Penguins fans on a hockey board I visit say that Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato said on KDKA in Pittsburgh a deal is close. So, basically, we won't know what's going on for sure until the Penguins sign a deal somewhere. |

Hartford won't happen, goofball. (I wish...)

I think the NHL is hard against going back to towns that had teams that moved (though, the irony is that most of them ones that have moved recently ended up winning Cups...ex: Nords and Whalers). I'd love the Penguins to move closer to me than further (MUCH further, as it would be with Houston, KC or Vegas), but I'd prefer them stay in Pittsburgh.
|
Yeah. I really like the idea of Pittsburgh as a young dynasty. Y HALO THAT EARLY 90s. Also, am I the only one thinking we're in a golden era of hockey in terms of talent?
|
I wouldn't make THAT leap. Maybe as far as the difference between the best and the worst is the amongst the widest of all time, but there are no ultra-dominant scorers in the league.
|
Well thats some pretty depressing news to start off the week. The local politicians kept on telling the public that an arena deal is "very close" but I now wonder how "close" they really were.
Why on Earth would they want to relocate to Kansas City. It is beyond me. Yeah 100% free arena, but good luck trying to have a decent fan base there. |
