Scott Gomez has not registered a point since November 22nd. Last night he was freed from his press box prison and registered four shots on goal in his first game of 2014!

Twin Cinema posted:1. Tay Tay will finish top-5 in points 1. He's currently sitting in 12th. If he didn't miss 7 games, he would be in 4th place. 2. Still at 3 goals, and he is injured. 3. This prediction looks a lot better than it did last month. Columbus went 10-4-0 in January. 4. Who knows? 5. Currently on pace for 33 goals. This will not happen. 6. Philly is ten points ahead of the 26th team in the league (the Islanders). 7. Fowler hit 30 points. 8. Currently has 26 points. Franson will probably hit 30. 9. Hahaha. 10. I thought Crosby would hit 130 points this year. Currently, he is still hovering around the 115 mark, and he is on pace to play 82 games.

 SUPREME TOXX COURT IS NOW IN SESSION The Handsome Defendant: Guignol The Evil Prosecutor: Pleads The Toxx: Guignol posted:-If the Ducks finish higher than the Senators in the regular season standings, I will buy a Ducks Silfverberg shirsey and make a video of me crying like a little girl into it. Current standings:   Barring a miracle or a terrible plane crash, this toxx is almost certain to come true. Clearly the magic spark of Jakob Silfverberg, Cool Guy Swedeman, has ignited a fire in the Anaheim Ducks that burns brighter than the dull flame of the Alfieless Ottawa Senators. Our defendant is willing to admit that he is a dumb-dumb for taking this bet. For months, the defendant could not find a single god drat place that sold a Ducks Silfverberg shirsey. NHL.com only carries shirts bearing the names of Getzlaf, Perry and other plugs who are neither Cool Guys nor Swedemen. How could the Ducks not promote one of their finest players? Surely the toxx would be lost! Just in time, the following photos emerged from the official Ducks store today:    A shirsey at last! Yes, the Anaheim Ducks do indeed sell a Jakob Silfverberg shirsey. It is yellow and bears a Ducks logo featuring a stylish Swedish flag pattern within its border; a bold design for a bold player. The prosecution would have you believe that this is not a Jakob Silfverberg shirsey, despite all evidence to the contrary. It is up to you, the Supreme Toxx Court, to decide if this is true. Will this shirsey fulfill the toxx clause, or will justice crumble before our eyes? You decide.

The prosecution believes that while the above images do indeed display a Silfverberg shirsey, the defendant is skirting the true point of their Toxx:Guignol posted:Two toxxes: As such, the prosecution believes that the above Team Sweden shirsey does not adequately meet the terms of the Toxx. The primary focus of the shirsey is that of Team Sweden (Swedish flag, blue and yellow, three crowns, Swedish name) The one single reference to the NHL team Anaheim Ducks is also Sweden's flag. The shape of the flag, when confronted with the other factors mentioned above re: how super Swedish the shirt is, means that the rather indistinct shape of Anaheim's usual logo is lost. The shape of Anaheim's logo, while potentially recognizable in the Ducks' area of regional impression, is not in this usage immediately recognizable outside of that area. Primarily, the prosecution asks that, for the sake of qualifying as a "Ducks Silfverberg shirsey" as stated in the Toxx, the garment must be immediately recognizable as a Ducks Silverberg jersey either within the jurisdiction of Guignol's residence (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan), or that of his favoured NHL team (Kanata, Ontario). The defendant mentions Sweden exactly 0 times in his Toxx (nor in any Toxx thread post leading to his opening statement), specifically stating "Ducks" in reference to the NHL Anaheim Ducks. Yet in his opening statement, he uses the words Sweden/Team Sweden/Swedish/Swedeman 3 times, and frames his arguments in such a way he would have you believe his Toxx was in any way related to the nationality of the player. It was not. Do not let this man skirt the justice of the Toxx. To do so undermines this thread, these forums, and the community of trust and brotherhood with which we govern ourselves.

That is a Ducks logo (hideous) and thus clearly a Ducks shirsey with super cool (hideous) olympic colours. I say it counts.

That is official merchandise of the Anaheim Ducks from their official store bearing their registered trademark. Unless the prosecution can prove the existence of a preferable shirzee, that's as real as it gets.

You're not looking at the big picture. The goal here is to get video of him crying like a big dumb baby. What he cries into is not the important part. That said if he draws a cartoon duck that he names "Ducks Silfverberg" onto the front of the shirt in order to facilitate the toxx I won't cry fowl.

There are no normal Silfverberg shirseys, but I've seen [random player] appear during a season before. My sister has a Dan Ellis shirsey, for crying out loud. What they have right now is kind of a weird mix. In any event, the team store accepts phone orders. (888) 438-2505
