NHL Thread: It's December Now.

[CanadianChris]

Sens were outshot 18-3 by the Red Wings in the first period. Somehow, they're still scoreless.

 

Why, yes, Ray Emery DID start in goal.

[Guest "Go, Mordecai!"]

I wonder how a team of Phil Kessels would do against a team of Lance Armstrongs.

 

Obscure TSM in-jokes RULE!

Man, that is obscure. Even I don't remember that one.

Savard has two goals. Both on the PP. Tied in La Belle Province at deuce with fifteen to go.

 

Buffalo's up late, Toronto and Tampa are tied to start the third, and Ottawa's up 3-2 with fifteen to play.

The refs have since swallowed the whistles and a very, very good game has resulted. Savard has both Bruins goals and Toivonen is absolutely standing on his head right now.

I'm a jinx. 4-2 Habs on two quick goals that they had no business scoring.

[CanadianGuitarist]

I'M a jinx. Boston pulls with 90 seconds and scores with 53 to play...I think York got it, but I'm not positive. 4-3.

 

EDIT:

 

Time expires, and the Habs hang on 4-3. The guy doing the English broadcast in Montreal said, and I quote: "Patience pays off and the Habs get the win. What more could Habs friends and family ask for?"

[treble]

Shocking turn of events, the Leafs come from behind and win a game! And score a few goals in the 3rd period to do it!

[CanadianChris]

The Sens game was on PPV, so I couldn't watch it, but listening on the radio, Emery had a senational game. The Sens held off a superior Red Wings team and stole a 3-2 win.

[Guest "Go, Mordecai!"]

Chicago defeats St. Louis in hockey as well as football, as well they should. Hawks are in 10th now, I think?

[Guest Princess Leena]

Sabres won, but did not finish with style.

 

Where's that guy who says they're always lucky.

[Guest NYankees]

The only thing that I care about is that the Rangers are on a 4 game winning streak.

[Red Baron]

Still saying they are most likely to get knocked out in the first round (depending on who is playing them)

[Star Ocean 3]

So the Sharks handle the Kings again, and another battle between those two urban destroyers, San Jose and Anaheim, will happen this Saturday.

[CanadianChris]

There's a fun little poll over at ESPN.com to determine who would make up the best line ever. They give you 50 of the all-time best forwards, and you use 12 to construct four lines.

 

http://proxy.espn.go.com/nhl/toplines/vote...mp;lid=tab2pos1

 

My lines looked like this:

 

First line: Bobby Hull-Wayne Gretzky-Maurice Richard

Second line: Ted Lindsay-Mario Lemieux-Gordie Howe

Third line: Frank Mahovlich-Jean Beliveau-Guy Lafleur

Fourth line: Bob Gainey-Howie Morenz-Mike Bossy

[CanadianChris]

Sidney Crosby has five points in the first 30 minutes of the Pens-Flyers game. It's his first five-point game as a pro.

[Red Baron]

So I'm going to a bit biased on my ultimate lines, because there are so many great Habs players.

 

First line:

 

Boom Boom-Gretzky-Richard

Lafleur-Beliveau-Cournoyer

Gainey-H. Richard-Dionne

Mahovolich-Messier-Espositio.

[CanadianGuitarist]

You fuckin left out Lemieux and Howe!

 

Sid the Kid has taken the lead with a six (!) point night. I still think my favourite player Iggy will take the Ross, but if Crosby can add five assists on a team that can score eight goals but will stil miss the playoffs...wow.

[Red Baron]

Ya, replace Messier and put Lemiuex in there.

[nl5xsk1]

The lack of Cam Neely on that list makes it obsolete in my opinion. Yes, I know that they have to put current players on it to make it more relevant, but putting Ovechkin, Modano, Crosby, and F'ing Lindros on there but not Neely is a farce.

 

Call me biased if you want, but I don't remember any of them scoring 50 goals in 44 games.

[Red Baron]

I don't know why Lindros, Modanno or even Shannahan is on here. Was Sakic on this list?

[Guest "Go, Mordecai!"]

Joe Sakic already passed Stan Mikita in goals and assists. That surprised me.

[Red Baron]

Continuing on the ESPN forwards, who would you put on defence?

 

Orr-Robinson

Harvey-Neidermyer

Bourque-Coffey

[the max]

Orr-Harvey

Park-Potvin

Shore-Robinson

 

Bourque

[Guest]

Orr-Lidstrom

Park-Potvin

Robinson-Niedermayer

 

Bourque/Stevens

 

I don't like putting guys that I haven't seen footage of on my lists.

[CanadianGuitarist]

Orr-Harvey

Park-Bourque

Coffey-Chelios

 

Niedermayer

 

Edit: Give me Potvin instead of Chelios, and send Big Bird a condolence card for coming in at #8.

Anyone vote for All-Stars? More specifically, anyone vote for Rory Fitzpatrick?

[Guest Princess Leena]

I voted for Rory.

 

Sabres are dominating again, tonight.

[KGB]

Steve Sullivan returned from his groin injury to play against Ottawa tonight, and scored the last three goals in a decisive 6-0 victory by Nashville over the Senators. In a stunning turn of events, it was Emery who got pulled midway through the 2nd after allowing all six goals on just 14 shots. Gerber stopped all 19 shots against in 28 minutes played!
