Charlie M. Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 It's not THAT bad. Those generic EA jerseys are so bad that they actively made avoid playing international games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Braj, it's a plain jersey with a giant flag on it. How is that not an EA gener-o-jersey? That little white band around the left arm doesn't do enough to escape the comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie M. Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Tim Thomas to Florida is begging for a "Stand Your Ground" poster. This is the only place I'm comfortable making this joke, btw. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalStriker Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I was thinking about the Winter Classic outdoor hockey game for whatever reason, and trying to think of what would be the coolest place for them to hold future WC's. Notre Dame Stadium is the thing that popped into my head, Blackhawks would be probably be the host team since they're the closest team to it. But since a lot of Chicago fans are also Notre Dame fans it would probably draw a huge crowd, have them go against the Red Wings whose fanbase would also be within reasonable driving distance of the game. You could also do Ohio Stadium in Columbus but that would require putting the Blue Jackets in a high profile game when they're not one of the main marquee hockey teams. I mean it could still be done with the Blue Jackets but the other team definitely would have to be a big name team like the Red Wings or Penguins.

Death From Above Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 I try not to get too excited about Oilers prospects these days, but Dallas Eakins as head coach gives the impression of being exactly what this team needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 I honestly can't imagine even playing without one at this point. Then again I've always been kind of paranoid about eye injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caley Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 So those Florida hockey fans eh? From the Florida Panthers preseason opener this afternoon I would've thought the possibility of a Tim Thomas sighting would spur them on but...no. Apparently they advertised in advance that parking for the event would be $20 and wonder if that scared the few Florida fans away. BTW, Thomas in Florida tomorrow is a go. Also, Florida has invited Tom Gilbert, but he hasn't accepted yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabremike Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Was at Flyers home preseason opener last night vs Caps. Game was a little sloppy but entertaining with the Caps winning 4-3 in the Gary Bettman Skills Competition. Most notable thing was Wayne Simmonds getting 3 minor penalties on the same play, resulting in the rarely seen 6 minute PP. Also notable was the price of everything at the Wells Fargo Center was jacked up, which was apparently Ed Sniders way of rewarding fans for suffering through a non-playoff season.

Clayton Jones Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 My fantasy hockey keeper league which is going into its 6th season has an available team if anyone here is interested. We're a 16 team 8 player keeper league with some pretty dedicated GMs. Last season we had all 16 GMs return and this season I've only had to replace two, this being the second. The roster you'd be inheriting is not bad at all, and has some strong goaltending options in particular which is a position that comes at a premium in a league like this. If you think you'd like to join send me a PM and I'll send you the roster and an invite. We have our draft scheduled for next Wednesday night and the open team has the 7th pick.

RIPPA Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 The Wash Post is reporting that DC will host the 2015 Winter Classic. They have no further details than that (location, Caps opponent). The Caps have an announcement scheduled for tomorrow afternoon One would assume it would be at Nats Park but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
