Oyaji 6,915 Posted January 1, 2017 So'z, I watched the first two periods and then went out to shovel snow during the third before it got too cold. :/ At least I got to see OT and witness more Matthews magic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sabremike 2,096 Posted January 12, 2017 I won two tickets to an Isles-Devils game at Barclays with a total $300 face value. I think second prize was four tickets. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sabremike 2,096 Posted January 15, 2017 Read Islanders vs Rangers (a definitive look at the history of that rivalry) by Stan Fischler. Tremendous book and highly recommended. As someone who has been at those games I can say that they are as close to an Old Firm match as you will find in American sports (and 20 years ago was like 5x as crazy as today with de facto riots in the stands and outside in the parking lots/streets). The only rivalry in the league in the same stratosphere is the Battle of Alberta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow 409 Posted January 15, 2017 Canes do it again beating the Isles 7-4 to finish the homestand 4-0-0. Canes move to a point behind Philly for the last playoff spot. Going 14-1-1 at home since November has helped tremendously and people are starting to show back up to the building which was desperately needed. Finishing January they have games @ Columbus, vs. Pittsburgh, @ Columbus, @ Washington, vs. LA, vs. Philly. I think this stretch will tell if they are going to hang in there or will I continue to hate hockey for another year. BRING PLAYOFF HOCKEY TO RALEIGH~! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death From Above 3,656 Posted January 15, 2017 Oilers comprehensively outplayed, beat Flames anyway because we actually have a real live goalie man. Johnny Gaudreau's shootout effort was Sedin levels of terribad. Eat shit Flames. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sabremike 2,096 Posted January 15, 2017 1 hour ago, Lacelle said: Habs vs Bruins seems kinda legit That's definitely a great rivalry but I don't think it brings out the seething hatred among fans in the stands and part of that is they play in two different cities. Battle of NY is insane because they are separated by a few miles (used to be separated by 25 miles). That's not to say the Habs and Bruins fans can't be nuts but I don't think those games have the level of violence in the stands or streets after the game.
