Phightins

Solid reasoning!

OK I will stop insulting you. It really was so cruel of me to question a fellow poster's "hockey IQ" when we had a disagreement. What was I thinking? Oh.....wait...

*Petition to change the title of this thread to "Universe's super top secret hockey diary"* Maybe we can get a nice pretty pink background too. And a "no boys allowed" warning.

Oh. I dunno. If you want this to be strictly Canadiens chatter, then maybe YOU shouldn't be mentioning other teams, eh numbnuts? Who is the guy who brought it into the conversation?

Lol. Flyers didn't even deserve a point in that game so I am not complaining about a SO loss, as I CLEARLY stated. Trolling fail!

Nah, they don't.

I am rofl-ing. Thanks for the laughs Universe, never change!

I know the Kings suck and gave up and all, but that was still awesome.

There is too much gray area. Either allow everything or just make clear guidelines of what is/isn't acceptable. Right now nothing is clear. But this was a big topic at the GM meetings, supposedly. So I suspect we'll see some changes next year.

Scott Proefrock (assistant GM) said it "remains to be seen" if the Phillies have interest in Castillo. The fact that he did not shoot it down immediately tells me that they are definitely interested. Ugh. Well, on the bright side it would probably only cost pennies to get him. But I'd still rather give Barfield a shot first. Also, more cuts today. Mike Stutes sent to minor league camp. Fully expect him to be back at some point this year, and perhaps even be the closer in 2012. Dude is filthy.

Yeah Schremp is nasty. And I dunno, it looked like he lost control, at which point Boosh gave up on the play. Not an excuse for him giving up on the play or not, but I have seen several instances like this when the goalies have no idea what is going on. I have also seen this called both ways. Again, not complaining about last night, thrilled to get a point out of last night. I'd just like to see them iron out the rules a bit.

NHL really needs to come up with clear shootout rules. Flyers kind of got screwed tonight (won't complain too much since they still got a point they didn't deserve). Blake Wheeler lost the puck in close, then reached out to recollect it and scored. From every "rule" I have seen, it should have been blown dead. But it seems like each referee has his own set of rules. Either that or they just make it up on the fly (re: plays like this as well as the spin-o-rama).

GQ is just trolling for page views. And they succeeded. They managed to have Phillies fans all riled up this afternoon for listing them as the worst in all of sports. Really, does it matter what GQ thinks about anything sports related?

Suck a fattie, Blake.

Of course.

Turrible

And the refs are off to a rolling stop... How about some consistency??

Erik Gustafsson called up to be "7th defenseman", although honestly I'd like to have him in the lineup every night now that this Pronger deal is long term. Sit Boynton. Also use it as a chance to give O'Donnell some rest, and eventually Timonen when they (hopefully) clinch the division.

Hand surgery for Pronger. Out 3-4 weeks. Awesome.

Haha, I have absolutely no rooting interest in college bball. Just happened that way. Although I may go back and change Syracuse to either OSU or Kentucky and/or UConn to Duke. I just thought another Syracuse/UConn game would be fun.

I know basically nothing about 1/3 or so of the teams, to be quite honest. So whenever I fill out a bracket it's usually a huge guess. But for now, I have... UConn Syracuse Pitt Kansas

Wilson Valdez, Delwyn Young, and Josh Barfield having incredible springs. Combined 37-for-88 so far. So I guess that is some slight encouragement if Chase needs to spend time on the DL.

Joe Nathan is pitching against the Phillies right now. He looks awful. Tiny sample size, but he is all over the place. There is no radar gun with this broadcast unfortunately, but his fastball does not look as overpowering as usual.
