Game Time : I have a dream that this game starts at 3PM on Monday

Game Story : Jets are on a new streak with Hutch the official loser the last 3

Local Celebrity of the Game : What's the best angle to cut someone's throat? Well, usually from behind. That's usually how it works - Nikki Sixx

 

Let's see if they can play as good as they did the last 2 periods vs LA 

Hutch starting?

It's an afternoon game. I expect them to crap the bed regardless of who starts. Hutch was ok but 4 5 6 posts tonight helps 

If Helle had played as well as Hutch did tonight, you would be nominating him for the Vezina.

Nope. Bottom line.  We lost. 

We get the Loser point. Hutch was ok. Maybe watch the game again and you will see he was just ok... certainly not great. 

Why bring helle up even? He didn't play. We lost. Budaj was better.

Again, I didn't see this... I saw Hutch flopping around, giving up bad rebounds and over-committing... but LA was not a good team tonight

 

You didn't see what? Helle playing as well as Hutch? You didn't see what?

Hutch having a knockout game... he was just decent.  

Or are you now claiming that we're unfairly biased to Helle over Hutch - the same goalie that you've been on a month long tirade about...

I can't keep up.  Let's go back to trading Myers.

What you didn't see was Helle letting in 6 goals in his last 13 shots.

I call a spade a spade...if someone plays well, I give them credit and Hutch played well...do I think he is the answer? no...do I still want to see Comrie? yes. Do I start Hutch next game? yes...will Maurice? doubt it.

Still clinging to Comrie...  the kid with a .908 save percentage in the AHL.  Same one that let in four goals tonight?

Sounds good.  Lets ruin another prospect as we watch Stuart 'block' shots by standing right in front of him and Enstrom play 'angry squirrel' as the opposition owns the slot.

Thornton looks like such a giant tool with that stupid beard.  How do you even play a serious professional sport with that big of a beard.  It doesn't make sense.

I thought the LA OT goal was saveable if he just stands his ground upright but I'm not a Goalie expert. It just seems both our goalies go down so quick giving the top half of the net too frequent.

Coaching. Flaherty probably tells them to do that.

I think it's great. It's nice to see the NHL actually have some guys with personality.

Part of the problem for me is my serious dislike of Thornton.  Burns, don't really care.  That "A" looks nice on Thornton though.

No problem with Thornton's beard...Beards are very Canadian. Lumberjacks and all that. It's a part of our heritage. "Personality" tho, is a buzzword that new-age hockey "fans" like to throw around because they want hockey players to act like NBA players. No thanks...no showboating, no grandiose bragging during press conferences. More Toews-like personalities...

I get chopping down a tree with a beard.  I get doing lots of stuff with a beard, including leading your army in an attack on a Confederate position in the Civil War.  I just don't get how you can skate around with this gross sweaty beard on your face, unless of course you are Joe Thornton, and rarely if ever work up a sweat.

Like you think the beard makes his face too hot or he can't get enough air past the moustache?

I am not sure why I have to explain this but sure, too hot is one issue.  I just don't know why you would voluntarily choose to play hockey at its highest level with a giant mass of wet hair on your face, when you could choose to not do this instead.  I get "playoff beards" (though I have never seen one as big as Thornton's) if you are superstitious and don't want to shave, but that's just a short time frame, not an entire hockey season.  Anyway, it's my opinion, take it or leave it.

apparently it started as a joke, because people said he couldn't grow a beard as big and crazy as Brent Burns....so he did it. Now, it's just ironically funny. 

Im tempted to make an oral sex comparison to back up KBF's position but Im not sure it would make it past the mods.  ;-)
