  1. He doesn't even turn 36 until next month.
  2. Come on, do we really want a Columbus cast-off? Anyways, he fell out of favor with management during the lockout. They took down his poster off the side of Nationwide Arena because he was a union rep. [Edited on 11-16-05 by Fanpuck33]
  3. What a move by the Jackets. Wright is nothing more than a good 3rd liner, and Beauchemin was a healthy scratch quite frequently.
  4. I agree with simonus. We've seen what Perezhogin can do on the top line, and it was very good.
  5. What is so wrong about introducing an alternative theory? There are millions of believe who believe that God created the universe. Bringing the theory up does not promote any particular religion, so what is so bad? Personally, I believe in a combination of the theories. The "big-bang" just doesn't make any sense to me. However, I don't believe in the Adam and Eve story, as most non-fundmentalists do not. I think that evolution exists, but there was something more than a big-bang behind the universe. If everything was born out of the bang, what could have possibly caused it?

  7. That's interesting, since there are no more ties in the NHL. That was the whole reason for shootouts, so there would be a clear winner and loser. "The League will award two points to a team that wins in regulation, overtime or the shootout; one point to a team that loses in overtime or the shootout; and no points to a team that loses in regulation." From NHL.com http://www.nhl.com/nhlhq/cba/shootout072205.html
  8. John Grahame is no Bulin Wall.
  9. OT = losing in overtime/shootout. I don't give a crap about your semantics or NHL.com's. The reason they took the "L" off of "OTL" was so that they could use a single column for both overtime and shootout losses. If a team LOSES in overtime, it goes in the OT column, since the loss occurred in overtime. If a team LOSES in a shootout, it goes in the OT column, because the winner was determined after overtime. An OT is nothing more than a one-point loss. It's better than a regular loss, but it is still a loss. When there are no ties, there is a definite winner and loser. In this case, the Pens won. That only leaves one possibility, a loss. If it's not a 2 point win, it's either a 0 point loss or a 1 point loss. In this case, we got a "good loss," since we still earned one point in defeat. Using your argument, losing a game in overtime is not a loss either, since the team still gets one point. So now losing in overtime isn't a loss either? Using your argument, a team could go undefeated without winning a single game. A team could go 0-0-82 and earn 82 points. There are no wins, which means they lost every other game, since there are no more ties. Shouldn't we help this Habs fan see the light? Do we really want a fan of the Habs making silly arguments like a Leafs fan? [Edited on 11-12-05 by Fanpuck33]
  10. THERE ARE NO MORE TIES IN THE NHL! You get with it! Your whole argument about the difference between "OTL" and "OT" is not valid. Using your theory that "OT" stands for "overtime tie," that would mean that losing a game during the 5 minute overtime would not go under the "OT" category. This is not how it works. If a team loses in overtime, it most certainly goes in the "OT" column. Obviously, there was no "overtime tie" in this case. Losing in a shootout is no different than losing in overtime. The winning team still gets two points and the losing team gets one point. When there are no ties, there is a winner and a loser. Pittsburgh won the game, so the Canadiens had to have lost. It would be illogical for one team to get a win while the other team gets a tie. [Edited on 11-12-05 by Fanpuck33]
  11. In the NHL, there are no ties, which means you either win or you lose. If you win, you get two points. If you lose, you get 0 or 1 point, depending on when you lose. Don't try to get into semantics. They did not win, they did not tie, that only leaves one possibility.
  12. It's called an overtime LOSS. Not winning = losing. [Edited on 11-11-05 by Fanpuck33]
  13. <img src="http://www.travelmarker.nl/media/foto/postkaarten/belgie_klaprozen.jpg"> Strange how every year I read this poem and for the first time realized that the quote in my profile from the Habs' locker room was taken from this poem. Thank you to all those who have bravely served their country, fighting for our freedom.
  14. But with less curve on the stick, the forehand wrist shot becomes far less accurate. A sniper would lose his accuracy and become an average shooter. There's a reason they started curving their blades, so that they could put more pucks on net. Plus, the curve of the blade makes a backhand shot that much more unpredictable, as it is very difficult for a goalie to predict how it will come off the blade.
  15. Yeah, but he's a Bruins fan. Have any of you been reading PJ Stock's blog on Ecklunds' site? He's a pretty funny guy, usually has some interesting thoughts.
  16. I know there are a lot of Elisha Cuthbery fans on the site, so I thought I'd pass this along: http://www.nhl.com/blogcentral/cuthbert_blog.html
  17. I don't see why Ivanans isn't on the IR.
  18. Hehe, the title was meant to fool people, but the "Humor" icon should have given it away.
  19. Nope, Warner Brothers beat them to it a few years ago. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0196106/

  21. The following image was displayed on the campus movie channel at my school, and it reminded me of you. <img src="http://www.geocities.com/fanpuck33/images/Fozzy001.jpg">
  22. In five years, Saku is only going to be 36.
  23. Also, congrats to Habs Fan Nr.1 for joining the 2000 post club. I wonder what caused the increase in posts over the last 6 months...
