jayc4life Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 While I'm from more of a soccer fan, I'm almost starting to believe the Blackhawks are the perfect team for me to support, by virtue of already sorta supporting them. See, in soccer, I've supported Liverpool all my life. Since I started supporting them in '93 they have never won the league. They thrive on putting their fans through hell only to go on an amazing late season run to eventually get close enough to the dance without actually being there. This pretty much sums up the Blackhawks since I adopted them as my team (Stanley Cup aside). I don't know how they managed to fold in Denver last night. Seems that almost every time we score, we fall asleep and let one in immediately, and often it's 2 in rapid succession. Lack of defensive concentration is really putting our season to the sword so far, and the only reason we've got the jump on the standings so far is because we've played a lot more games than almost all the other teams.

diedan Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I have not watched NEARLY enough hockey this year. The Wild are really all over the place this year though so it's a bit difficult to get motivated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c hoertjes Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I cannot believe that freaking Brian Boucher is the Flyers' starting goalie in 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixa Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Islanders vs Ducks this Thursday. I have a feeling I know how that's going to end up. DP and Hunter need to be sent down to Bridgeport with Poulin brought up to fill in DPs place. Bailey should probably be brought back up too. put Gervais and I suppose Sim on waivers. find a new coach and a new GM (inb4 Roloson is made the new GM). they need a new owner too, someone who's going to keep the team here on the island. wonder if the Wilpons are interested. I feel I don't really know that much about hockey yet though. haven't watched a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayc4life Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I don't think he's their main starter for the year, they've been using Bobrovsky a fair amount this year too. I'd say they'll probably post 50:32 while Bob's getting big league experience. Similar situation to Turco/Crawford with us, I think Turco was only really signed as a stop-gap to make sure Crawford was ready for the bigs, and as a good fall-back, on one year and relatively cheap, it would be hard to not avail of having him as a foil. EDIT: I have no idea why you guys sent Niederreiter back to the Winterhawks. Hockey blogs were raving about his talent and potential all pre-season. If the Isles had the foresight to know this'd be another awful season (lol @ the Nordiques fans outnumbering your own the other day btw) then they should have took the year to break them in, like what Edmonton are doing with a few of their youngsters.

AcidCrownie Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I went to a fight once, and a hockey game broke out. Obligatory. In other news, I'm really in the dark when it comes to hockey. (Being Floridian doesn't help.) I was thinking, however, of picking up NHL 11, and giving it a whirl to see if it would show me the ropes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixa Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I tried the demo and I sucked so bad. but then I guess that should be expected since it was my first time. so I'll probably get it eventually anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c hoertjes Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 NHL 11 is friggin' awesome. Heck, NHL 2K11 isn't bad either. I sure wish the Blues would get some of their injured players back. This season has been ridic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't get the game on a whim with no idea how the game works. It was ok in the PS2 days when it was blatantly fun and a lot simpler, but you can't really get away with doing that now.

hatch Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 go stars. nhl 11 is clearly a "better" game than nhl 10 but I got through about five seasons of be a gm in 10 and one half of one in 11, so. go stars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
