elizium Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 So, we're all in love with Mathieu Perreault here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 My sister-in-law has a nephew with that name, and he's a bit of a spoiled jerkface, so based on that, I can never fully embrace any Perrault love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 If you get a chance, check out Red Wings rookie Teemu Pulkkinen. He's a right winger with a ridiculous shot. Has a lot of the same mannerisms of a Brett Hull in the way he moves in the offensive zone. Obviously, he's nowhere near that level yet - he's not even gotten his first goal yet - but similar style. And that shot. Holy cow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Also, Buffalo retired the Dominator's number the other night. He gave a terrific little speech and the whole was just generally really nice. Nice touch doing it when Detroit was in town given his tenures with the Wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 The highlight packages of Hasek saves making the rounds the last couple days have been just amazing. What a strange, strange goalie. Might have the worst technique of any goalie I've ever seen. Could literally barely stand on skates. But so much natural ability, flexibility, almost unnatural reflexes, and a will to compete. Just scary when he got into the zone. There will never be another player quite like him. Sorry there are Nagano highlights in there. I'm still not over that. Fuck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Outshot 46-22, lose 70% of the faceoffs, give up 7 powerplays, win 2-1. Okie doke. I'm not sure who replaced Ondrej Pavelec with an imposter this year, but I'd like to thank them. Also found out that TSN's Brian Engblom does not understand octopi. "Pavelec is like an octopus on the ice. SEVEN arms and legs!" So close, Brian, so close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Did you post their original joshing in the December thread and I missed it? If so, I suck and I'm sorry. I had to look up what they originally said. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hahaha, no I didn't. I'm pretty sure someone did though. There's been a few times the Stars scoreboard has popped up this year with amusing needling of the opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 That Hasek highlights video is great. The Olympic stop on Lindros was just inhuman. What's funny is there's like a billion highlights from one single game from his time in Chicago (vs Pittsburgh) - a game where he still gave up 4 goals. How horrible was Chicago's defense that year? Good grief. I loved Dom when he was in Detroit. He drove you crazy but he got the job done. And he got us a Cup. And I still crack up every time I see the highlight of him dumping Gaborik on his head and getting a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizium Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 The Jets aren't going to have any players left by the playoffs. Plus, relying on Pavelec or Hutchison to save their bacon a couple times a week is going to blow up in their faces eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Fucking Panthers. When they inevitably miss the playoffs again this is a loss that can be pointed to as being one of the causes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Great win for Detroit tonight over Nashville, dominating from start to finish, 5-2. Some crazy bounces turned into goals and Z scored from below the goal line, banking one in off the back of the goalie's head. Fun game to watch!

One More Astronaut Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 The Leafs yearly collapse is well along, and they seem to have completely forgotten how to score goals. One in four games on the west coast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy Me a Burrito Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 That's my gimmick! Also, as much as I like watching the Hurricanes win, I know that this is going to help them not get one of the top 2 picks. Fucking Hurricanes. But how great was Eric Staal shooting that puck past Phanuef for the empty netter? That was a "fuck you" goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
