what a surprise. the two guys i mention for taking stupid penalties are the two guys who took stupid penalties tonight and allowed the bruins to lose a 4-2 lead, eventually losing in a shootout. boynton gets an unsporstmanlike conduct minor and a 10 minute misconduct, and on his first shift...

and if you remember, the penguins were saying the same thing at the beginning of the year, shooting for the stanley cup. but that was with a healthy lemieux, palffy, recchi, gonchar, and crosby, most of which are no longer there, and didn't help the team win when they were. same for the...

i really like the whalers logo as well. my other fav logos are the red wings, the blues, the canadiens, and the maple leafs. never really liked tbe bruins logo. a lot of it probably has to do with the colors. i just dont like gold. as far as bad logos, i'd have to say the senators, the...

i'm wondering who the 6 players are who were involved. i'd guess jagr is one of them, since he was involved in internet gambling before. i dont know if he was involved in sports betting, but i know an online casino was after him for $500k at one time. my girlfriend, who grew up on the RI/CT...

ryan, i have eric staal on my htf fantasy hockey team, so the canes' success is bringing me some success. they are a really fast team, unless ottawa gets their act together again, the canes are, imo, the best in the east. CJ

um, i think both of us should check to see what thread we are posting in :b CJ

crosby, ovechkin, and kovalchuk are the future ambassadors of the league. i saw crosby play in person, and he is ridiculously talented. stress the ridiculously part. and as far as forsberg being hooked, as a flyers fan, you must know that he gets away with his fair share of hacks. he is a...

i think we did, but more importantly, we lost the post in which you said i had a good idea about changing the definition of "best" player ever. as much bickering as we did during the bruins/canadiens series a while ago, this was a big breakthrough for me :) CJ

still trying to figure out how i double posted two hours after the original. CJ

and lemieux said the nhl was a garage league in 1992! it's a shame to see a talent that comes along once in a lifetime cut short intentionally. CJ

well he only played a handful of games in 75-76, but the 3 years after winning the cup again in 72, he played more games than the season before. it just seems like he would have been playing less games each year until the main cheap shot. CJ

after 72, orr put up some pretty impressive numbers. so he played 3 (mostly) full seasons after winning the cup in 72? i ask, because having been too young to see him play and only having his stats to look at, but knowing about his career ending injury, i'd guess it happened at the start of 75...

gotta agree with jeff on that one, i was waiting for someone else to talk about the "all around game" :) he had scoring and playmaking in spades, but not too much else. i saw mario scrap it up a couple times, even beating some ass. he's no tie domi, but he wasnt exactly a pansy either. but...

well it was, but the difference is that gretzky played a fairly healthy career (near the end too) while lemieux came back and played very short stints because of injury, apart from 02-03 in which he played 62 games. gretzky slowed down because he wasnt as good as he used to be, lemieux was...

before lemieux came back, he had over 2 points per game, and owned the record for a few years. he obviously couldnt keep that up in the last few seasons, so it's now gretzky's record again. while not in the top 40 like you mentioned, bossy (#47 all time) has to be 3rd on the all time points per...

look at these stats. looking at the games played column, mario would have been regarded (officially) as the best ever to play the game with no major injuries. we all have different opinions as to who was the best ever, but as far as i'm concerned, apart from lemieux, gretzky, and orr, no other...

the best player i ever saw. thanks for the memories mario, i feel lucky to have seen you play. CJ

you'd never know it by watching tv. especially if your city has a team in the mlb playoffs. how long could it possibly take to say "and the bruins open their season tomorrow night after a year off due to a labor dispute"? :rolleyes CJ

i can't wait to see what these new young talents (crosby, ovechkin) can do. gotta love that crosby is 5'10 or 5'11, maybe clubs will start to draft talent instead of size, at least when it comes to forwards. anyone remember how tall the art ross tropy/hart trophy winner was last season? :) i...

since when were the rangers the best at anything, except overpaying players? :) holik made 9.5 million/yr! CJ

modano to stay with stars. CJ *CJ to read above posts next time*

the pens will have a dangerous powerplay this year. iginla is a solid player, but he should not be making 7 mil/year. especially when a guy like naslund makes 6. CJ

detroit places hatcher, mccarty, and whitney on waivers. hatcher was no surprise, whitney was a good little player, but i'm sad to see mccarty being put on waivers. he is the guy you love to have on your team, but hate to play against. CJ
