  1. If you take away the five minutes where Canada scored 4 on Vasilevski, he was by far and away the best goaltender at the World Juniors, Vasilevski and Kuznetsov were the only two reasons Russia got to the Gold medal game, Makarov played great in the final but Russia were getting shelled through the World Juniors. Vasilevski also had good numbers in the MHL
  2. Have to disagree with the last paragraph and also want to make a note on Erixon, the lack of mention to his bad attitude and refusal to sign with Flames is a big flaw and Nikolai Zherdev really never fell apart, he had a good year with the Rangers before going to Russia, when Philadelphia signed him, Zherdev had a very good points total for playing roughly 8 minutes a game most of the season. However, these are very articles, well done.
  3. Mr Bean was great! The main problem was the blatant historical inaccuracy, black people did not own mills in the 19th century...
  4. very professional by the Canes, and I think that pretty much just makes TSN look stupid, Boudreau and Hunter both saying very positive things about Sasha, it makes me laugh really,
  5. To me, the bible is a great work of fiction, used as a tool for organized religion to brainwash the masses. So anything that people reference the bible to me is pure stupidity. However back to hockey Sasha is definitely a coach killer http://www.csnwashin...?blockID=747325
  6. Homophobia and Racism are completely different, Xenophobia and Racism are almost the same. I knew what you meant but your statement could imply you view homosexuals as a separate race. I have no problem with what Tim Thomas said, nor did I have a problem with him not going to the white house, it is not as if he is saying that homosexuality should be illegal or gays should be killed. The uproar is because a famous person has views that don't conform to a society in which having any contentious idea's is a crime, famous people have to support the view of the noisy minority not what they actually believe, I give credit to Thomas for coming out and being honest about what he believes in.
  7. Semin got 21 goals last season, playing third line minutes with third line linemates, he also got 54 points on a defence orientated Capitals, playing said third line minutes. He was second on the team in points behind Ovechkin...
  8. Semin played a great defensive series against the Rangers, he was one of the main reasons they beat the Bruins in the first round. 2009 - The Pittsburgh series Semin got a couple of assists 2010 - Halak/Gill/Gorges stopped Semin, who still played well 2011 - The entire Caps team was terrible against Tampa, against NYR, he was great 2012 - key against Boston, played great defensively against NYR
  9. Semin got 54 points, 2nd on Washington behind Ovechkin who had 66, and Semin played for most of the season with Chimera and Johansson (until Backstrom went down) then after that is was Perrault, hardly linemates for a top 6 player, a grinder and an AHL cente, Semin's play down the stretch got the Caps into the playoffs essentially and there are a lot of Caps fans pretty annoyed with GMGM for not resigning him already though there are also a lot who are happy he hasn't been signed, but dissapointed that they don't have a replacement for the goal and points totals. The bad rep in regards to Semin is mainly due to his nationality, and Dale Hunter is a better person to hear from than TSN panelists and the rest of the North American media who do slander Europeans and to a larger extent Russians especially about work ethic and general effort. I love Sasha as a player and would love him as a Hab, but Montreal just isn't the right fit for him, we don't have a good enough team, nor do we have a real amount of cap space to sign him. Pittsburgh, New Jersey and Washington are the only real fits for him, and I hope to God that he stays with the Caps. On an unrelated note, please can they just change his name to Syomin already, that is how it should be spelled in its English form, the same as Kovalev was really Kovalyov haha. Btw - If any offense or misunderstanding of your post, I am sorry, but I get ultra defensive in regards to Russians who get a bad rep for no reason apart from nationality.
  10. Would anyone be interested in doing this when NHL 13 comes out? Make it max of 30 people so its 1 person per team? XBOX 360 - Anaheim - Boston - Buffalo - Calgary - Carolina - Chicago Colorado - Columbus - Dallas - Detroit - Edmonton - Florida - Los Angeles - Minnesota - Montreal - Nashville - New Jersey - New York I - New York R - Ottawa - Pittsburgh - Phoenix - Philadelphia San Jose - St Louis - Tampa Bay - Toronto - Vancouver - Washington - EHIW_HWL (xGRABOVSKI 84) Winnipeg -
  11. If we got something like the Kessel trade for Subban, I would be more than happy to do it really. Even though he is our future top D, if you get the kinda deal Boston did for Kessel, it is worth it.
  12. thats the point of the account though, its a joke account in essence
  13. Game six in overtime with Toronto leading 3-2 and would have been a game misconduct to Gretzky due to the NHL rules of the time, would have been more than likely a Toronto PPG which would have made it a Montreal/Toronto final
  14. http://drawception.com/viewgame/WA9QerpPex/pokeball-noms-on-bulbasaur/ heroic
  15. Third option, KHL and her minor leagues
  16. Btw, I was going to bitch at you for it, but not as much as people who start throwing accusations of Sasha being a coach killer, when the guy can barely speak English in the first place. It's not Therrien who would be the biggest stumbling block in Sasha ever succeeding in Montreal, it would be the fact we have barely any Russians.
  17. http://www.anguscertified.com/alexander-semin-and-ignoring-the-10-percent/ this explains everything. (Though my personal opinion on why I am so Pro-Sasha is due to watching a hell of a lot of Washington games over the past 3-4 seasons)
  18. I can honestly see why Anglophones hate Quebec...
  19. surprised Kaberle didnt try and get #15
  20. UEFA's representation is done through the European U21 Tournament
  21. Germany weren't in the top 3 of the U21 tournament which was Spain, Switzerland and Belarus
  22. My optimism wants England to get 0 points, and Ireland are in a group with a team which isn't good, England don't have Rooney for Sweden and France, and Roy Hodgson picked a lot of mediocre players as injury replacements aswell as in the initial squad and even with Rooney back for the game against Ukraine, I can't see them winning or drawing, Ukraine are too strong in their homeland. Sweden I can't see beating Ukraine or France, though they will be close games.
  23. anyone watching this apart from me? Feeling France to win, I do want Russia or Poland to win the whole tournament, but France feel like a dark horse who could win Group Predictions Group A Russia 9 Poland 6 Czech Republic 3 Greece 0 Group B Germany 7 Portugal 4 Holland 4 Denmark 0 Group C Spain 7 Croatia 6 Italy 4 Ireland 0 Group D France 7 Ukraine 7 Sweden 3 England 0
