That is just shitty dude. I am sorry for your loss, and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

i have cake

Yeah, that's all fine and dandy, but that was three seasons ago, and the Kings sucked then. Hell, they still do. Goalies are only as good as the team in front of them. If they can steal a game or two, that's great, but if the team hangs them out to dry, then they are :$*%&:

So far it sounds like he's standing on his head.

Yeah, I was questioning the MacIntyre move until that last game against Calgary. Then I realized why they picked him up.

hate you guys

so does spey casting!

Well, Garon already DOES have better stats than Kipper, but I keep reminding myself, and everyone else for that matter, that the season is only two weeks old. Can't predict who is going to do what just yet. Vancouver looked awesome in the pre-season, then started off strong vs. the fLAMES winning both games, then went on a three game slide. Edmonton went on a 4-0-0 to start the season and are currently in a three game slide themselves. Same could be said for Colorado too. Started out 0-3-0 but are now 5-3-0 and second in the division. Northwest division is as strong as it ever has been, and looks like its going to continue to be that way. Everyteam is .500 or better, and as snake said, only three points seperating top from bottom. Going to be a GREAT season. So far as the last game goes, I will say this. Nillson looked AWESOME on the first line, and Cole was born to play right wing. By FAR his best game of the season to date, and it SUCKS that he was kicked out by a stupid rlue about his jersey not being tied down. Losing him and then strudwick, forcing them to play with only five defensemen and double shifting a forward on right wing, sure made things difficult on them near the end. Still a good game to watch, but Garon should have had a couple of those he let in......maybe he's more like Kipper than we think.

....half the battle

admitting it is......

Fightin' that battle as we speak dude......

The only things that go fly fishing are steers and queers, which one are you?

I was actually JUST reading that. It should make for some interesting changes to say the least. Still looking forward to the game. NW division games are always entertaining with so much on the line. Four legitimate threats to take tops in the Division.

Can't say. If I told you, I'd have to kill you. Same with everyone else on the board. Would get quite messy.

I am sure this thread would be a LOT more funny if YouTube, flikr, photobucket, and many, many other sites weren't blocked at the office........ Stupid censorship. :$*%&:

That's AWESOME! We have three cats and of course, we have issues with them up on the counter, table, etc. I would LOVE to do this.

Classic! I read that in the Herald the other day, I almost pissed myself.....

I knew that I was surrounded by idiots. Good to know that I'm not the only one........

I didn't get much of a chance to see the game last night as I was working, and then drinking after work. But, from what I saw, they were skating pretty good and putting up a fight. Budaj seems to have found his game, finally, and the Avs are skating great. Garon was mortal last night, so that may have been the biggest issue. Oil outshot the Avs (first time outshooting an opponent this year) by one, but ended up taking the loss. The other goalie was better. Only two games though. Looking forward to the game vs. the Cansucks on Saturday though.

Two words...... fLAMES suck.

Now that's funny.

Yeah, we stick together, but so do Flames fans, Leafs fans, Habs fans, etc. But that's not the issue. The only reason that Bourque recieved nine minutes is because he was the instigator which is an automatic 2 minutes. Then he got the five for fighting because he dropped his gloves and pounded the dude like he was on UFC doing a "ground and pound" the 10 minute is an automatic for being the instigator and the other 2 for roughing.....not sure where that came from, but he should have had 7 for sure. Either way, its a non-issue as the Flames killed it off and built momentum from it. Great game all in all. I do find it funny that Canadian fans all think that there is a conspiracy from Bettman against the Canadian teams. I hear about it ALL the time on the Oilers board that I am on, and I think it's ridiculous there too. I do think that there are refs who have it in for certain teams or certain players for some odd reason, but I do not think that it has anything to do with the league forcing them to handicap the Canadian teams.

Great pics man. Thanks for posting.

I hope that you're right, I really do. I am super stoked for this season. Did you hear Eric Cole's interview on After Hours on Saturday? He said that he has the same feeling that he had during the early season in 05/06 when they won the cup. Stillman said to him that he had a feeling, the perfect mix of vets and youth and big things could come. Cole basically said that he has that same feeling. I hope he's right. But I also know it's early in the season and that predicting a cup, or a trip to the finals, is just a tad pre-mature. But a man can dream, can't he? GO OIL!
