IF ILYA BRYZGALOV IS SO GREAT WHY HAS HE BEEN ON FOUR TEAMS IN TEN YEARS: THE NHL 2011-2012 THREAD (INCLUDING VANCOUVER RECONSTRUCTION, BOSTON HANGOVER AND OFFSEASON SHENANIGANS. HOCKEY IS THE BEST)

should just flood the empty block at michigan & trumbull and have it there imo

but i don't remember too many players totally dominating a series the way dougie gilmour dominated the '93 campbell conference finals, even though his leafs lost to jimmy's kings.

Still holds the NHL record for most points in a postseason without making the final, I believe .

Montreal fans plan 1-year anniversary celebration in honor of Scott Gomez's last goal

still pisses me off that someone let glen sather off the hook by trading for this guy and his contract

Tim Thomas:

"I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People.

This is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level.

This is in direct opposition to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers vision for the Federal government.

Because I believe this, today I exercised my right as a Free Citizen, and did not visit the White House. This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country. This was about a choice I had to make as an INDIVIDUAL.

This is the only public statement I will be making on this topic. TT"

gross

tbf i probably would have skipped out on bush

In the Bruins' 2011-12 media guide, Thomas, a Republican, cited conservative TV pundit Glenn Beck as the person he'd most like to have dinner with.

Bleurgh

pride of flint, mi

got another reason to hate Boston sports

lol i can personally assure you that he's in the wrong city if he wants to be cheered for this nonsense

o I know but I just want flimsy pretenses to haitchall

in that case tt will oblige!

this is acceptable grounds for revoking the conn smythe, right?

indeed, as rick santorum has suggested, boston is such a den of liberal iniquity that it can be blamed for priest molestation.

ricky doesn't know much about anything, though, let alone hockey

let's go red wings

otm

co-sign

<3 mule

ugh u ppl

don't make me side with bill magill

is it just me or does nbc sports have more wings games than versus did

at any rate I'm really liking the change, the production is much better

Shouldn't that tell you are on the wrong side? xp

i'm surprised there is any noticeable difference -- to my knowledge it was just a name change.

oh, i'd root for the wings over a lot of teams -- i love the way they play. but it's tough getting past the more personal struggles of 2008-2009.

kinda hated chris osgood tho

:O

a) he was the beneficiary of fabulous team defense and not a particularly grebt goalie imo

b) dude would fall down as if shot when an opposing forward so much as looked at him. i can only imagine what it'd have been like if t. holmstrom were playing *against* him

otoh, he can't hear me because he has rings in his ears i guess

He was not the greatest goalie in the world but he just seems so innocuous, like hating a care bear.

maybe if he'd skipped out on w in 2008

blues look like a pretty dangerous team -- if they didn't suck at shootouts they'd be atop the league.

they also seem to have a penchant for leaping face-first into the boards whenever someone breathes on them, but whatevs

zdeno chara was +7 today lol

according to the box score, one hit was delivered in the game

drake's 'hockey hero' is evgeni malkin

can we all just admit that sidney crosby is lucky he's not dead apparently?

not as lucky as clint malarchuk

truth

kings are cheaters

Sean Avery was a judge on Project Runway tonight. It was WEIRD.

a) speaking of clint malarchuk, he has a piece on deadspin today. he shot himself in the head in 2008 but survived.

b) wtf is a sam gagner

c) http://didgomezscore.com lol

d) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4d4kN8pUgSE

remarkable

The kings didn't cheat because there is no team in columbus iirc

mmhmm

loved dean lombardi's statement involving coulombs, tho

omg!

Tomas Holmstrom will play in his 1,000th NHL game tonight, all of them in a Red Wings sweater.

When asked by former coach Scotty Bowman why he chose to wear #96, Homer said it was because that's when he came to the NHL from Sweden.

To which Scottie replied, "you should have picked 98, because that's the year you're going back.''
