Not, it must be said, particularly hilarious for me.

Or indeed Big "Joe" Thornton, who got another 3 in the Sharks twentieth game of the season - a victory over the Blue Jackets - to register his 23rd point in the last ten games.

I take it the Ducks lost to Chicago on the Five game? I made it through the first period but fell asleep.

Up 2:1 a minute into the third...

... Lost 2:4. :rolleyes:

Avery is indeed a twat, but the whole suspension thing is ridiculous. Bettman is a bigger twat, and the whole thing has been wayyyyy overblown. And "sloppy seconds" is really that offensive? Really? No place for it, but six game suspension?!

Zeiler's illegal hit that knocked Sakic out: 3 games.

...

SEAN AVERY SAID WHAT?!: 6 games.

It is probably more a build up of things for Avery. He was a total cnut in the Flyers game i went to.

But that's not fair on him. When he does something illegal, he is punished. His usual wind-ups on the ice are legal, and you can't be punished for being a pest.

Can someone give me a summary of why Avery is hated so? I actually thought his second hand slop thing was quite funny. I am assuming he's got a history that, somehow, I have passed by.

Avery is basically the most hated guy in hockey because he runs his mouth too much, has been in fights with teammates, seemingly gets special treatment from the refs, and is always the number one-target on the ice. He just is really an idiot and everyone hates him.

Bettman is an idiot, and has essentially watered down the toughness of the NHL since he has taken over. The game is less intense as a result, and Avery's comments were labelled as detrimental to the sportsmanlike attitude of the sport. Or something. But we all know Bettman didn't want the Calgary / Dallas game to turn into a huge brawl.

Yesterday's game was a good one. Carter finally played and scored a goal. Ryan also had a goal and an assist. Meanwhile on the second line Morrison and Marchant shocked Ducks fans again by doing absolutely nothing. Way to go, Carlyle!

Saw the Ducks came to the Shark Tank and got a bit of a kicking, literally and figuratively, in a particularly violent game.

Stupid Ducks. Only had the radio of the game, and I liked what Carlyle did with the lines, but now I think he'll be convinced they aren't working after just one game. :rolleyes:

Bring on my least favourite team other than the Kings this sunday: Minnesota Wild. Of course, an opponent I always go to see.

Have you watched the online highlights? It was pretty brutal. Some left overs between Jody Shelley and that Ducks guy with the porn moustache and mullet, plus two ten-minute misconducts and a ten player brawl.

Yeah, I watched the fights, but didn't want to see much of the actual game... I have no idea what went on between Blake and Scotty, though. But Blake is receiving a lot of crap across Ducks message boards.

The 'stache is George Parros! And he only has long hair because he donates it to Locks of Love, a charity group out here that makes wigs for those with cancer. But the 'stache will definitely stay! You can buy fake ones at the arena here and all the money goes to charity.

Mats Sundin has finally made up his mind, he's a Canuck. :D

Massive boost for our season, I could just be convinced that we could make an impact in the playoffs this year now. Also, while Sundin's salary hasn't been revealed it's been confirmed he took less than the Canucks initial offer to leave them some space under the salary cap. Class act.
