03.26.11 | oh god damnit, I would fuck up the very last album name |
Satellite
03.26.11 | the red wings are #1, the other night's game notwithstanding.
please fix this. |
Satellite
03.26.11 | "Pavel Datsyuk is the most skilled hockey player in the world right now."
yes |
Scoot
03.26.11 | red wings have shit goaltending
canucks are the best team in almost every category. suck it haaaaaaters |
bungy
03.26.11 | what are hockey |
Aids
03.26.11 | "as of yet"
haha, as of late* |
Satellite
03.26.11 | howard is shaky, but not shitty. the d has left him out to dry many times this year and he's stolen quite a few games believe it or not.
and there's not a tougher job in hockey than the wings' netminder. |
Aids
03.26.11 | "red wings have shit goaltending"
I just got in a big argument with a friend of mine who is a Detroit fan and he would not budge on that. Howard is #30 and #32 in the league (or something like that) in GAA and save %. what a joke, and he was cash last year. I think they'll get beaten in the first round by some underrated team with a REAL goalie, like Nashville. |
Aids
03.26.11 | Howard is clutch when he needs to be sometimes, but he's been pretty sketchy this year, for the most part. They need Osgood, badly. |
Trebor.
03.26.11 | I thought hockey was on strike |
Aids
03.26.11 | and that being said about his stats, he leads the leagues in wins haha go figure. he has no help. |
Scoot
03.26.11 | he also has nicklas fucking lidstrom in front of him, not to mention datsyuk and zetterberg
hardest job in the league is panthers goalie, let's be honest
and fuck the oilers, larsson too? sheesh. |
Satellite
03.26.11 | yeah because pekka rinne is such a "real goalie" with all this accolades of his.
i mean, in recent year especially, any goalie is capable of getting hot (or cold [*cough* Luongo]) come playoff time. |
Aids
03.26.11 | "canucks are the best team in almost every category"
almost?
highest scoring offence
stingiest defense (currently tied with Nashville there)
best powerplay in the league
and I think 1st or 2nd in penalty killing
two of the best goalies in the NHL
the best tandem since, well, since ever in my opinion, in the Sedin Twins
go us. |
Satellite
03.26.11 | *all those |
Aids
03.26.11 | "i mean, in recent year especially, any goalie is capable of getting hot (or cold [*cough* Luongo])"
haha fuck, I knew it was only a matter of time until that got brought up. he's played the fewest games he ever has this year (not counting injury years) because he actually has a good backup so I think that will be a big factor in the playoffs. he'll be rested. |
Satellite
03.26.11 | those regular season numbers never really mean shit. just pray that your team isn't this year's san jose sharks. |
Aids
03.26.11 | dude, have you been watching Pekka Rinne? he's unbelievable this year. he doens't have any hardware, but, so? he'll almost certainly get a Vezina nomination this year. |
Aids
03.26.11 | "just pray that your team isn't this year's san jose sharks."
believe me, I am
I think I'll kill myself if we don't make it past the second round this year AGAIN. just pleas GOD let it not be the blackhawks that take us out. |
Scoot
03.26.11 | best tandem ever
oh aids, kurri and gretzky want to have a word with you :p |
Satellite
03.26.11 | he was great last year in all honesty.
like i said, though, those numbers go out the window once the postseason starts. |
Scoot
03.26.11 | i hate byfuglien's face |
Satellite
03.26.11 | i was predicting a wings/canucks west finals before the year started.
ask coneren. |
GnarlyShillelagh
03.26.11 | I don't know shit about hockey, but I do watch SportsCenter, and Montreal got FUCKED |
Satellite
03.26.11 | haha that was great. after all of their bitching regarding the chara hit. |
Scoot
03.26.11 | wings/canucks would be epic |
Aids
03.26.11 | I was predicting Canucks/Kings before LA started sucking massive amounts of dick
"oh aids, kurri and gretzky want to have a word with you :p"
just wait until the end of their careers (the Sedins), then we'll compare. but yah, kurri and wayne were pretty unstoppable.
and yah, the postseason is a whole new season, so it's all talk right now, I know. but if we do win this year? oh god, prepare for me to become the most annoying sports fan ever. |
Aids
03.26.11 | the Chara hit was fine. I thought they maybe should have given him 1 game, but that's the most I would have been OK with. the Habs are kind of being big bitches about the whole thing.... |
Scoot
03.26.11 | if the nucks win I'm having a beer for every year we didn't win
40 beers |
Aids
03.26.11 | wings/canucks would be epic [2]
I hope that is the final. I love Vancouver/Detroit playoff series. and Satty, I really like Detroit, but I gotta stick up for my boys, you know? |
Aids
03.26.11 | *conference final
Scoot - hahaha, I'll join you |
Aids
03.26.11 | (wow, I'm a double-posting machine) |
Satellite
03.26.11 | haha same here.
i talk a lot of shit when it comes to hockey, but it's really just how i compensate for having to put up with the lions. |
Satellite
03.26.11 | yeah, there's no way the chara hit was premeditated. pacioretty is a michigan guy, so i feel extra bad for him, but the whole thing's been blown way out of proportion. |
SeaAnemone
03.26.11 | wtf why are the flyers so low fuck you |
Aids
03.26.11 | "i talk a lot of shit when it comes to hockey, but it's really just how i compensate for having to put up with the lions."
hahahahahahahahahaha...awesome.
I don't have any other teams to be disappointed in. Buuuuuuuuuut, the Vancouver Whitecaps just played (and won) their first MLS game and Soccer >>>> other sports imo. I'm sooooooooo fucking stoked to finally have a soccer team to support that isn't Barcelona or Bayern Munich. seriously, I don't care if the Whitecaps finish dead last every year, I will forever be a diehard Whitecaps fan. |
mallen-
03.26.11 | "New York Rangers. Henrik Lundvist is lights out. So good, if only he had a decent group of defenders in front of him he'd be an easy pick for a Vezina nomination."
he does, their offense is a problem |
Satellite
03.26.11 | big ups for putting the avs so low, though. |
Aids
03.26.11 | "wtf why are the flyers so low fuck you"
1. the Canucks are racing them for #1 in the NHL
2. fuck Chris Pronger
3. fuck Dan Carcillo
4. I actually kind of like the Flyers, but my Canucks fandom is ruining my perception of everything. |
Satellite
03.26.11 | the flyers' new/old jerseys look awesome |
Aids
03.26.11 | Philly is the only team in the East I'm legitametly worried about as far as beating Vancouver in the
final. but then the one game they played this year was 6-2 Canucks so.....
:sunglasses: |
Satellite
03.26.11 | washington's the best team in the east right now as far as i'm concerned. i guess it all depends on ovi's health, but they could finally do some damage this year. |
Aids
03.26.11 | I'm predicting Caps/Flyers in the Eastern final and Canucks/Red Wings in the west
pretty easy predictions but whatever. Nashville has the potential to be a dark horse though. |
Satellite
03.26.11 | i really hope the wings play the hawks in round 1.
cake walk |
Aids
03.26.11 | that would be such a sick matchup. Original 6 ftw.
you never know with the playoffs though. on paper I'd take Detroit any day but Chicago can be streaky as hell, especially when Crawford gets hot. |
Aids
03.26.11 | "he does, their offense is a problem"
yah I don't follow the Rangers that closely so you're probably right. Lundqvist always finds his way onto the highlight reel though, that guy is just too good. |
Satellite
03.26.11 | they just have no depth, though. if they try rolling 4 lines they're going to get burned by hudler, modano, eaves, helm, et al. |
Aids
03.26.11 | yah, true. in a seven game series they're probably fucked. I could see them stealing a couple games in a row though. they'll give someone a scare, at least. |
Aids
03.26.11 | I really thought this list would draw in more butthurt fans than just Satellite. I think living near Vancouver gives me the wrong perception of how big the NHL is in the USA. pretty much just Canadians and disgruntled Lions fans care about hockey, I guess. |
Aids
03.26.11 | or everyone else has something better to do on a Friday night than talk about hockey on a music
website.
fags |
Satellite
03.26.11 | to be fair, i provided enough butthurt for the entire site.
hockey is big in michigan. not canada-big, mind you, but pretty big. |

03.26.11 | no, needz moar butthurt

^no idea what that means |
Josh D.
03.26.11 | Actually, it's hard as fuck to follow hockey in Houston because of the shitty TV deals.
But fuck, Dallas had the best US player of all time, but those fucking Red Wings got him. Dallas is still good though. |
Josh D.
03.26.11 | Modano was the only remaining North Star. I grew up watching him and Zubov. And then Hull helping them win the Cup in '99. |
Scoot
03.26.11 | Not really. Eriksson and Richards are good but Neal and Niskanen for Goligoski was kinda stupid |
Josh D.
03.26.11 | I don't know, like I said, I can't follow the sport much anymore. And not by choice. |

inb4baseball
FUCK BASEBALL |
Satellite
03.26.11 | modano's been solid for the wings since coming back from his nasty wrist injury.
definitely one of my top 5 players ever. it's awesome to see him play for the wings. |
Josh D.
03.26.11 | He's the best US born player ever, so yeah, he's pretty good.
|
Aids
03.26.11 | Mike Modano is one of my all time favourites. He's a living legend. I used to like the Stars but they just bug me now for some reason. I like Andrew Raycroft though, he was our back up last year.
FUCK BASEBALL
except go Jays |
Satellite
03.26.11 | baseball ftw you bitches |
Josh D.
03.26.11 | As a sports fan period, I love baseball. It just sucks having a home team that hasn't been good for several years.
But the sport is good. |
Scoot
03.26.11 | modano fucked us up and down the ice for years in the late 90s/early 00s. same with sakic. |
Josh D.
03.26.11 | Fuck yeah.
One Cup is better than none, but Dallas had some good teams other than those. So hopefully they can get some runs in the next few years. They have had some good young players (mostly Swedish and shit). |
Aids
03.26.11 | baseball is a nice game but it's so BORING
MLB playoffs are intense though |
Josh D.
03.26.11 | Baseball isn't boring. You're Canadian, YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND. |
Aids
03.26.11 | haha. I miss the Expos =( and the Grizzlies, Basketball is more exciting than Baseball. I mean, I understand Baseball, I've watched lots of games, even been to some (GO MARINERS) but it's so drawn out, like a chess game where each player takes their sweet ass time thinking. Whereas hockey is like two super diligent Asians taking 2 seconds max to move, and the timer clock is like *tick tick tick tick tick tick*
CHESS IS INTENSE
oh man, I need to stop |
Josh D.
03.26.11 | Basketball sucks, specifically the NBA. It's all about NCAA. Basketball as a sport is relatively boring though.
Soccer is the worst sport ever, baseball is good, hockey rules, football is number one, and fuck off. |
Aids
03.26.11 | yeah NCAA >> NBA, for sure.
"Soccer is the worst sport ever"
oh wow, everything you say about sports is officially invalid.
sorry but Soccer (REAL football, you know, they use their feet) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> American Football
I mean ilu Josh but holy shit I am so butthurt right now O_O |

03.26.11 | and I'm out, SportsCentre time |
Inveigh
03.26.11 | I still think my Hawks have a shot at a deep playoff run this year, but you're right, our lack of depth (and that Hossa can't stay healthy compounds that) has made us wildly inconsistent
plus Keith isn't the same player he was last year |
Scoot
03.26.11 | yeah keith fucked me in my fantasy pool |
acorncheese
03.26.11 | FUCKING LIGHTNING BABY!!!!! |

03.26.11 | bearsman, I went to the last Bolts/Hawks game. Went to shootout. Fucking epic. |
Inveigh
03.26.11 | seriously, what happened to him? i think the long season and long cup tour in the offseason took its toll
although it didn't seem to have much of an effect on Kane or Toews (I guess Sharp looked rusty at the start though) |
Inveigh
03.26.11 | fuck yeah acorn, I watched that game on tv, epic indeed |
FromDaHood
03.26.11 | I'm sorry but having the Wings at number ten is a straight up insult. Sure, they have their losing streaks but Jimmy Howard is one of the best young goalies in the game and their blue line is among the best in the league. Defense wins championships and the Wings bring the D every game. |
March_Of_Sand
03.26.11 | Fromdahood it a list of his favorites. How is having Detroit at ten an insult. If it was up to me Detroit would be number 30
seeing as there my most Hated team but that's no surprise since I'm a Ducks fan and the Ducks and red wings hate each
other. |
FromDaHood
03.26.11 | Oh, I thought it was a power ranking list. Fuck me for not reading. I figured that based on his statement that he HATES Detroit they would be lower if it were a list of favorites |

johnnyblaze
03.26.11 | yee bud, nice list! Canadiens for the cup! If not, I'd be okay with the Canucks winning it. I've given up hope for the leafs; next year they've got a decent shot.
I live in Ottawa, and this has got to be the most pathetic hockey town lately. When the leafs or habs are in town their fans outnumber sens fans in the bars. Oh, and I'm Canadian and love baseball, eh! Beauty sport. |
Josh D.
03.26.11 | Chill out, acorn, you grump ass. You forget your AIDS cocktail this morning, fuck. |
Aids
03.26.11 | haha Josh D. for the win.
@ outline - you need to watch more Canucks games. at the very least, remove all but one of those ">"s.
and yah this is a ranking of favourites, not best teams.
Kurri + Gretzky and Hull + Oates are both arguably better than the Sedins but Kariya + Selanne? no way. I'm sorry but how does one of them winning the scoring title in back to back years not get the twins a little more respect? I guess it all means nothing until they win the cup though. oh well.
methinks non-Vancouver fans are just butthurt that their team(s) get consistently raped by the Sedins. |
Scoot
03.26.11 | lol flames
I feel for devils fans. in a position to get larsson, but the team turns it on and they just miss the playoffs. now they have a 7-10 pick instead of a 1-3 pick |
MO
03.26.11 | fuck yea sens, they've had a shit last 2 years but things'll pick up |
Aids
03.26.11 | no way, Sens are still on their way down. Craig Andersen is a plus, but that's about the only bright spot they have going forward. it'll be years until they're good again. |

03.27.11 | almost 100 comments and not one mention of the albums on this list. oh, sputnik.
Buffalo sucks this year, I picked them to win the cup at the beginning of last year's playoffs and they shit the bed, hard. |
iFghtffyrdmns
03.27.11 | We're playoff contenders, which I say is evidence enough to go against your comment that we suck.
That being said, of course, we're gonna get smacked in the first round, regardless of who we play.
And hokay fine, 28 is pretty enjoyable, 17 is a mini-boner, 15 is okay (but I liked PLPLY better)....more importantly I appreciate your diatribe on Matt Cooke, he's a cocksucker, and 1 is obviously awesome. |
