I love Jamie Benn. He's tough as nails.

JetsWillFly4Ever · 02-24-2013, 11:41 AM

That's one hell of a fight!

**Lynk** · 02-24-2013, 06:30 PM

8-3 Detroit over Canucks.

Luongo is back to being Lu8ongo

I bet Gillis is elated. Now he's praying for a good game from Schneider

Why do Red Wings fans cheer "USA! USA!" in a game of Zetterberg/Datsyuk vs. the Sedin sisters?!

Flying High · 02-24-2013, 06:54 PM

So John Tavares is pretty good at hockey

I imagine because they're in Detroit and Vancouver is in Canada

That Tavares guy? Yeaaah I guess. I should have tackled him when he nearly run me over at the WC in Germany when doing quick sprints down the corridor.

I hope the Canes turn this one around. I bet on BOS, PIT, CHI and CAR :/

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense since a lot of Canucks are Americans:

Kesler, Booth, Higgins, Alberts, a couple I'm missing.

videofarmer · 02-25-2013, 10:13 AM

I always chant U-S-A! U-S-A! when I'm cheering fro the Jets! I figure there's enough of us on the team!

mzappa · 02-25-2013, 11:31 AM

This was my point and vice-versa; with club teams it doesn't matter. Meh, whatever I guess...

yea I don't look at it as that different from Jets fans chanting "Silver Medal" to get in Miller's head (which is kind of Canadian fans vs. American player) ironically we have allot of American born players on our team. Either way it’s all good clean fun and the silver medal chant was a classic

mzappa · 02-25-2013, 04:11 PM

Good point.

and that was classic. genius taunting.

Luongo seems so... different this season. Much more media friendly and humorous.

**Lynk** · 02-25-2013, 05:50 PM

I've really been enjoying him trolling the Nucks this year.

DespoticNewt · 02-25-2013, 05:52 PM

It's his self-deprecating humour. I heard that the reason AV didn't yank Luongo was because Schneider was under the weather. I was amused at the parallels between yesterday's game and the infamous one which saw Roy get traded soon after. Maybe a trade is in the works, hm?

Ugh. Another hockey game needs to start up. I don't want to watch Taranna @ Flayers.

mzappa · 02-25-2013, 06:50 PM

i love Centre Ice: $50, many nights entertainment, and doesn't nag or keep talking

Hammer Slammer · 02-25-2013, 06:53 PM

I have Centre Ice and Gamecentre too just in case I don't want to turn on the TV.

mzappa · 02-25-2013, 07:02 PM

Wow, if you think officiating vs the Jets is bad --- that slash&goal by Perry is just awful.

and as said before, the Linesmen need to DROP THE PUCK and not grandstand with delays and throwing out players on every faceoff.

I don't work tonight, so I can watch ALL the hockey games.

Why is it that only flyers fans think rinaldo isnt a dirt bag?

Because he's your dirt bag. It's why everyone seems to think that two of your 3rd liners are worth more than the other guy's top 6 forward.

mzappa · 02-25-2013, 07:25 PM

Agreed. what a .......
Same with Carcillo on the Hawks.

Speaking of, betting on the upset Oilers tonight - good vBookie odds paying at 1.65.

Hawks have to loose eventually - right?!
