I wouldn't blame Hamilton at all. The counter-hit elbowwas kinda interference, but you don't see that called very often. It definitely wasn't actually an elbow. The interference definitely should not have been a penalty at all since Backes played the puck immediately before the hit.

lol I love all the goalpost-moving happening for both of Dougie's stupid-obvious penalties.

The gently caress we do. I'm pretty okay with him retiring into obscurity with nary a microphone or camera around. (he's probably gonna die on camera)

Yeah, but, see, now the throwback vintage t-shirts are a great conversation starter on the west coast so.... uhh... thanks for your legacy, Whalers. :thumbsup:

I was there; yes there were Whaler fans, but not a whole lot of reverence in general for a consistently bad team that played in a half-full arena in a shopping mall. There’s a reason they moved.

Here's a thing which is happening:



Bear Force One is a great name for the plane. I can't wait until a captain walks off this plane into the terminal and punches a rival airline's pilot in the back of the head when he's not looking while they're both grabbing coffee during a layover, too.

The Bruins had their own planed called that years ago, but they got rid of it I think. Most teams don't have their own planes anymore unless the owners also share it with other stuff they own.

Now it's just whatever charter they fly, which is how it works for the president anyway I guess.

The Wings are on their 3rd iteration of their plane, Red Bird III, which is used by the Tigers when the hockey season ends as well

quote:

According to reporters after the game, the Sharks were a little fragile at the nasty attitude and aggression shown by the Blues. Apparently, Erik Karlsson thinks other teams should be as soft as his hairdo. gently caress you, Erik. You may use a K instead of a C and add an extra S to your last name, but that doesn’t mean the Blues won’t smash you like a piece of dough in a pizza shop. I like the way the Blues crawled inside the head of these Sharks, even in defeat.

One more thing: Well done, Robert Bortuzzo. You may do things out there on occasion that make me question your career choice and my sanity, but when you drop the gloves and pound a Shark into submission after a lost game, I applaud your wildness. Keep doing that next game, Big Bob. As Cap said to the Hulk, “smash!”

In 2002, Chris Pronger tried to cheapshot Steve Yzerman, Stevie saw him coming and moved, Pronger tore his ACL.

The Bruins offered him a pretty good contract and he declined it and there were a bunch of rumblings about how he was never really happy here and also something about how his parents were basically pee wee hockey hover parents who kinda pissed the organization off by complaining they were misplaying him (but also Boston media about a player who left town so who really knows.) He's really young and talented and also on his 3rd team already so something seems off about that. It's also really fun to chant his name condescendingly.

Didn't really think he had that much of a reputation but I love the fans trying to get in a guy's head when he has already shown the willingness to take boneheaded penalties

He refused to sign a post-ELC contract offer, then signed with Calgary for less after the trade.




Then the Calgary media hatchet jobs were about how he's a dumb nerd who skips team events for museums.

To be fair if Dougie does like museums there's probably more in a prominent civil war state than Calgary. You can only learn about oil and rodeos so many times.
