Toren

I guess we're using the one we got from the San Jose debacle...

I don't remember Perezhogin doing anything out of line. He did was he was asked, I'm sure there were closed door meetings about it. And then at the end of the season, when his job and contract were done, he decided he didn't want to fill that role on the team. I don't remember him bitching and whining about not getting things his way, and not showing up for a flight, but I could be wrong.

New defensive strategy: If they get a breakaway pass, just send a guy out from the bench to stop him.

I think no matter what now, you go with Halak in the next game... I'd say leave Price in to finish this one. See how it turns out. Another goal and I'd consider yanking him, though.

Finally, some games for us fans on the west coast

I was right...just not the way I thought Huet 1 for 2 on save attempts and it didn't go to the third shooters.

Let's take a poll.. How many shots will Huet actually attempt to save? I'm gonna say 0 out of 2, only because it's not going to three shots

I want to say that Huet was interfered with...but I still want to know what the hell he was doing with the puck. Either way, if we lose, he lost us the game...but he wins us way more than he loses, so we just gotta take it and hopefully Huet bounces back.

Rofl. Catching much? 'cause you're fishing pretty hard.

The defenceman played the pass to Pleks the entire time. We're not the only ones who remembered that he's already got two. If you look at the play again, Kovalev used Pleks as a mule to flatfoot the defender. He made it look like he'd drop it to Plekanec, then went around him. The defenceman fell because he was playing the drop pass to Plekanec for the hat-trick.

Dandenault looked confused after his second goal. Like he wasn't sure what to do when you score two goals in one game...

Wow. What a hit by Sergei Kostitsyn. There's a young kid who will do anything to play in this lineup. Hitting's definitely not his thing, but he showed in junior and he's showing know that he's got tons of grit and he'll line someone up if he has the chance.

It hasn't snowed in downtown victoria since last year. Suck on that. It was a little icy last night. Then it warmed up to 5 or 6 celcius

Impeach Price!

Then I really can't figure out why you hate Price so much. It's actually beyond any sort of logic, because you haven't really made any supporting comments on to why he's going to be a bad goalie. I don't know if he's going to be the next great goalie, but you have no clue how he's going to turn out either.

He's 20 years old, give the kid a bit of a break. Do you just hate people the farther west they come from?

Am I the only one who's excited to see Sergei Kostitsyn on the point of the powerplay? That just seems like something...an exciting team might do. Put a forward on the point...

I think you've left plenty of coils around here for all of us with your posts, thank you very much.

Born and raised in Victoria, but both my parents are from the islands. Sao Miguel to be exact, in Villa Franca. Didn't you learn the last time you got butt-hurt for being a jerk? Price is NOT better than Huet right now. No doubt about that. Huet is not this team's answer for the future, though. Not even close. But, hey. Merry Christmas, Spiderman. Everyone's entitled to their own (incorrect) opinion.

Shut up, Cat...you're a porkchop too? No kiddin'! Where's the family from?

lrn2ps3, nubs!

Awww, I remember you. Still sour from that little spat we had a week ago? I'm more than a bit of an asshole when you push the right buttons; otherwise I'm pretty tame. Look at the 3 or so years I've been around here, I very rarely lose my cool. (Granted, I was MIA for quite some time ) If you want to talk hockey, or even get really into a discussion about it, by all means; It's the unbacked comments and hatred that really sets me off. It's really not even an opinion at that point. It would be one thing to say "I hate Toren because he's a jerk and doesn't know when to shut up". It's another thing to say something like "Toren is a piece of shit." I know everyone here appreciates the game threads, and that really has nothing to do with anything we were arguing about, so I don't even see why it was brought up other than to polarize the forums on the argument against me. But whatever, it's water under the bridge. Keep up the good work on the game threads and lay off on Pricey a bit, he's a youngin'

Your guess is as good as mine. Just don't guess too hard, it angers the locals.

Awww, pumpkin. When you manage to get your tail out from between your legs, I'll be here to cuddle! Dude, JLP...that is the worst clipart I've ever seen. I love it You can't help but giggle when you see it.

Shhhhh. Quiet down. People are hunting Price right now!
