Evgeni Malkin also won the Conn Smythe trophy & came in SECOND for the Art  Ross trophy

My hat's off to the HERSHEY BEARS for winning thier 10--count 'em 10  Calder Cup

I guess PENNSLVANIA has the best hockey teams  in both divisions this year 

But please don't forget don't shoot the messager --I don't want to have to dodge bullets for the rest of the day !!

Uh Ron--you're forgetting that Evgeni Malkin won the Art Ross trophy 
or is it because you're tired  of me talking about my beloved Penguins ?? !!

Well now, any of you "Hockey Hippies" happen to see that  there was some kind of "awards" show held here for hockey last night?? I guess it was quite the success. Tickets were going for $500 a piece and they still nearly sold out!!! HA!!!!!!!!!!! Carried out some "beverage" container- type trophy (fittingly) down the red carpet and all!!! HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It was quite the 'to do".

Ugh... Just when I thought that it doesnt get any uglier... 

IDK... Here it is... Soy is Soy, he takes a jab here and there, but we know that he usualy does it all in good humour... Maybe he lashes out, but I did see him apologoise for it in this very thread...

Freeze is Freeze... He has a lot to say, and an opinion on almost everything (something in which he is a lot like me, I guess) and is not afraid to say it... Which I think is admirable, if anything. He isnt bossing anyone around, at least not so that I could see... If you dont like his spellchecks, dont mind them. I ususaly dont.

IDK, but the mile long posts from both of you in this thread seem miles away from making any point whatsoever... Pack it in. You are both good members, and so far as I can remember, you never caused any trouble among regulars... Dont start now.

Oh I think NOT! To attempt to blame spa for your boorishness is not unexpected but to try to claim she, or ANY of us, are not "involved" is ridiculous. This is a PUBLIC forum and, as such, you have nothing that is "your business", especially when you (as USUAL) berate and insult a "good" member! Had you done it in a PM, well..THAT is another story.

You know, you are quite fond of mentioning "all the members" that agree with you and "all the GOOD members" that have left this Board and yet, sadly, YOU are still here and they are not. Still babbling about one silly thing after another and prepared to "lash out" at any ANYONE who dares to disagree with you. You drone on about "causes" that, to you , are clearly NOTHING more than verbal diarrhea. You no more stand for a "cause" than Norman does! With the exception possibly of recycling, which I am sure you do with the hundreds of BEER cans you empty into your face everyday. As an example, IF you are so "offended" by the "horrible" treatment of women in Muslim nations, why is it that you do not join the Canadian Army and actually DO something about it??? I know why, because you are a self-righteous fraud. Much easier to sit here and rail on than actually get up and make a difference.

You insult people that do not share your position in your subtle yet OH so transparent fashion and then claim you take the "high road"..??? Right!  MORE garbage. This has nothing to do with "cliques" or anti-Canadians or Greenpeace or Elvis or anything else. This is about YOU. If you truly have any legitimate concern for this Board, apologize to GUIDO, don't try to deflect the blame onto spa! But then again, YOU will never really take responsibility. You will, as always, launch a juvenile attack against me for calling you  out and exposing the obvious. That's fine because I do not consider you significant anyway. Do your worst.

Damn, that was an intense game (sorry I wasn't on the site...turned off the laptop to concentrate on the game). I loved the way the Wings played, but it looks like it was the Pens' turn to have the cup...and they played very well, even with Crosby getting injured and whatnot. Anyway, congrats to the Pittsburg Penguins.

NO, LET'S TALK ABOUT ANNOYING...HOW ABOUT SOMEONE WHO TYPES everything NOT ONLY IN CAPS BUT IN GIANT RED ONES? HAAAAAA!!!

HOW ABOUT SOMEONE WHO THINKS THAT THE HOCKEY SUN BOTH RISES AND SETS ON CANADA? NO ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD IS WORTHY?

ONE WHO HAS THE CONTINUED ANNOYING AS HELL HABIT OF USING THE ARCHANE "YANK" TERM TO REFER TO ANYONE FROM THE UNITED STATES? PERHAPS YOU WERE BORN DURING THE US CIVIL WAR? EVEN SO, IT MAKES EVEN LESS SENSE AS, GET THIS, IT ONLY WAS APPLIED TO THOSE FROM THE NORTH! EVEN FUNNIER AS THEY ARE THE ONES CLOSEST TO CANADA FFS! <==POLITE "YANK." NOW GO TO YOUR BREWER'S RETAIL, BUY A FEW STINKY MOOSEHEAD AND GET OVER YOURSELF.

THE ONLY REASON FOR FOUR OVERTIMES IS IF I HAVE TO WORK LATER ON TONIGHT,I'LL PROBABLY MISS MOST OF THE GAME! ....GUESS I'M BEING SELFISH,SO SORRY...HOPE IT'S A GOOD ONE ANYWAY,HARD TO CALL THESE GAME SEVENS THOUGH,LAST TIME A VISITING TEAM WON A GAME 7,YOU HAVE TO GO BACK ALL THE WAY TO 1971,WHEN MONTREAL BEAT CHICAGO (sorry ron)...TO MANY INTANGIBLES HERE,HOWEVER THE WINGS HAVE BEEN DYNAMITE AT HOME,SO YOU CAN'T THROW THAT AWAY...FLEURY HAS NOT BEEN GOOD IN THEIR BARN,SO HE'LL HAVE TO BE AT HIS BEST TONIGHT FOR SURE...COULD BE CLOSE,COULD BE A BLOWOUT,I HAVE ONE BET WITH A FRIEND OF MINE,HE BET ME $50 DETROIT WOULD WIN BY 4 GOALS!...NOW STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED (MONTREAL DEFEATED OTTAWA 15-2 BACK IN 1897 TO WIN THE CUP) ,BUT I CAN'T SEE IT,EVEN THOUGH THE ONLY WAY I COULD POSSIBLY SEE THIS COMING TO PASS,IS IF DETROIT IS UP BY TWO OR THREE GOALS WITH A FEW MINUTES LEFT IN THE GAME,AND THE PENS HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PULL THE GOALIE AND GO FOR IT....BUT I'M HOPING FOR A REAL NAIL-BITER REGARDLESS FOR WHOEVER COMES OUT ON TOP...

Oh good LORD! Give it a rest about the damn Canadians, would you? What a racist! Who CARES how many damn Americans without guns are on a team. After all, EVERYONE knows that the Norwegians and Russians dominate.
Oh yeah, and the Mexicans...let's not forget the Mexicans. The number of Mexicans on a team has everything to do with MY bandwagon jumping!

4 OVER TIMES??? HHMMMMMMMMM!

HATCHER WITH THE PUCK, THE SHOT DEFLECTED, COMES OUT TO LAFONTAINE HE TURNS, FIRES GOAL. AND AFTER 68 MINUTES AND 47 SECONDS OF OVERTIME THE ISLANDERS WIN THE GAME AND THE SERIES ON EASTER SUNDAY TURNED MONDAY.

COULDN'T RESIST! VERY FOND MEMORY. SIMILAR TO DAVID VOLEK BEATING PITTSBURGH IN THE SECOND OVERTIME TO ELIMINATE THEM FROM TRYING TO WIN 3 CONSECUTIVE CUPS.

AND WHO CAN FORGET BOBBY NYSTROM AT 7:11 IN THE FIRST OVERTIME TO WIN THE ISLANDERS FIRST CUP OVER PHILADELPHIA.
 

HOPEFULLY SOON THE ISLANDERS WILL BE BACK TO THE GLORY DAYS

Well Friday nite is the big nite eh???

no.  the judge said that the NHL had to develop a fee it would charge.  they could make it whatever they want.  the 100 million was a reporters speculation.  Balsily can walk away if any relocation fee gets put on but might pay it if it were reasonable.
