naiwf 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 I'm not the biggest hockey fan out there, but when did the Thrashers start having rocking crowds? When they went up 5-4 tonight it was like a playoff game at MSG. I didn't expect that kind of atmosphere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 Amazingly, the Thrashers have been very well received, and generally get really good crowds. I say amazing because Atlanta generally has the worst fans in America. Even more amazing when you consider this team had a franchise move, presumably in part because the crowds sucked. When they started playing well That's no guarantee that Atlanta fans will come out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 Canucks win again, 4-3 in a shootout. And what a brutal shootout it was, with a TEN MINUTE LONG goal review to go along with the ultra-ghey stick-measuring party. Just awful. Ditch the shootout if it's going to cause this many problems. For those who saw it, Smyth's goal had to be good. Auld was in the net and the puck was clearly under him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted March 25, 2006 The Ducks keep winning and I can't wait for the Kings game tomorrow. From what I understand, the changes that have been made in LA are really good, and the players really like the new coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Philly was skating circles around Ottawa in the first ten minutes. You could tell that the Sens expended most of their energy last night in the crucial divisional win over Buffalo.

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2006 Anyone see the fight between Brashear-Umberger? Chris, my money's on you. Pretty good, but I swear to God I saw Brashear use his knees a couple times. Cheechoo's up to 46 goals. I might give Thornton the Hart nod even without a playoff spot but the Sharks are back in the playoffs*. *pending result of Nucks-Oilers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted March 26, 2006 Brashear-McGrattan. It wasn't as good as Fedoruk-Gratton tonight, but it was good. The Kings did not look like the Kings, they looked like a completely different team. I'm real excited, and can't wait for the Kings-Nucks game on Monday. It's safe to say that the loser of that game is in deep shit. If the Kings continue to play like they did tonight, they'll have no problem getting in. The new coach decided that he'd rather have them shoot than cycle the puck around. Pretty fucking simple idea if you ask me. Oh yeah, Roenick has a fracture in his ankle, so his sorry ass is gonna be out of the lineup. Tonight couldn't be better for the Kings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2006 I did see the fight, and Brashear did try to use his knees a couple of times. Also, Brashear trying to do the Ali Shuffle before they hooked up was comical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stahl 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2006 I think the elbow was overrated. Looked more like a solid forearm shot. I would have only given a roughing call for it, not a 5 minute major. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Baron 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2006 I like how Tucker got up and tried to be Mr. Tough guy. Oh and how he tried to dispute the elbow against Komisarek in the second period because it was a clean hit. If I was a real asshole ref, I would've said two for charging as well.

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2006 MOC is gone, I'm betting Sully will be shown the door as well. The season is over. Yeah, Sinden made it seem like Sullivan is a dead man coaching at this point. Didn't directly say that he'd be let go, but didn't give anything close to a vote of confidence, either. The good news for B's fans, though, is something that the Boston Globe said this morning, pretty much that Sinden's tenure in the front office "could end sooner than some would expect". Of course, knowing the B's mentality, the new front office will be Jacobs POS kid & Jeff Gorton, who's done nothing but drink the Jacobs kool-aid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
