  1. Yep, but I think you can try and limit the dangers by eliminating that from the game. Fights have fuck all impact on the game. What purpose do they serve? If they're there to keep players clean, I think there needs to be a serious look at the disciplinary system (which needs to happen regardless). Also, while we're talking about bad health and hockey, what's the best non-headshot hit in playoff history? I think my fave is Morrow erasing Michalek back in '08. Shoulder to shoulder but still Milan was clearly concussed (going back to your point). The sound of that fuckin' hit... man.
  2. Nah, it's just bare-knuckle fighting on ice without a helmet might be a bad idea. Hitting is fine but if a sport needs bare-knuckle fighting on ice without helmets to keep its identity, then maybe it's not an identity worth keeping?
  3. Missed most of the third period. If somebody unfamiliar with hockey saw that line brawl they would be shocked (it's playoff time, so it's necessary to bust out the Guy Boucher line) and/or appalled. With context, it's only slightly embarrassing. Brad Richardson (kind of) punched a dude with his bare knuckles when said dude was on the ice. UFC ON ICE: I'm not even like mad or anything. Just taking a step back and wondering why this thing is happening? lol, I love his facial expression. PURE ANGER, GRRR. Anyway, these playoffs are living up to expectations. Cup favorites get trounced a game following coming back from 3-0, everything in that Sens/Habs series, grr fury punches in Vancouver, wild stuff with the Caps storming back after looking like they were on the way to the driving range, that Yzerman Cup series is going to rule too. Fuckin' hockey, man. Question for da Jets fans: is it possible for Winnipeg to play their game and not take a tonne of penalties? I don't think they can afford to give the Ducks the man advantage very often. Same with Ottawa. Montreal's PP is on fire right now, generating grade A chances for fun.
  4. So this is "game engine footage" like the first Mortal Kombat trailer, right? I mean, that was fucking sweet but i want to see what we'll actually be playing. Oh, and no campaign. I haven't played a DICE campaign... ever? IGN Article
  5. Sweet. The incy bit of game footage they showed off looks so incredible. The textures for the flora were some of the best I've ever seen and more of what I was expecting out of this console generation's games.
  6. Another awesome thing that happened: Friend and I always poke fun at "THE MACHINE, CAGE" because a cage isn't a frickin' machine and they should've gone with a different name if they wanted to play up the machine stuff so damned much. Anyway, we started doing the "THA MACHINE THEY CALL CAAAAGE" to Sting's old WCW theme song tune before the show started. Then Striker sang it. And we slowly looked at each other and burst out in laughter. I love this show. Even outside of that, I thought Striker was at his most tolerable in this week's episode.
  7. Isn't there some Battlefront info and footage dropping today?
  8. That dude's hair is a loss for all of us unless he signs on with another high profile team.
  9. The City of Winnipeg should have this blaring throughout the entire city for the next 30 minutes: I think I'm actually more excited for the Jets than the Canucks this year.
  10. Man, the only thing that sucks about TSN losing NHL coverage is that we no longer get Chris Cuthbert calling playoff games but still have to endure that weak-chinned Gord Miller (thanks NBC!).
  11. Fleury's in his best playoff form already! The flower wilts.
  12. That's what I'm doing. I remember seeing all the MK9 sales with all the DLC included not that long after release. I enjoy them but am certainly a casual fan of the series.
  13. If that's an Eddie Murphy standup reference, a million stars to you. Also, I really wanted Aero Star to win the best of 5 but I get that Drago is their boy and they're building him up. Aero Star is my favourite pure high flyer - he's so suicidal.
  14. I wonder how many Jets fans will be in the building tonight. Don't you guys travel well in the Bettman belt of the NHL? The Yzerman Cup is the other game I'm really interested to watch. Probably the closest series to call but I think Detroit's experience will pay off. Does that series sport the two best coaches in the league? In other news, the wonderful fans of Vancouver are tearing Desjardins apart. He did seem to get outcoached pretty badly. I know the 4 line mandate is something Linden and Benning have been repeating ad nauseum the entire year, but you can't play the Sedins >5 mins in the third period.
  15. Yeah, that was extremely uncomfortable because he was really ragdolling her. I said to my friend (and LU needs to be watched in company) that Vamp needs to do something and then BOOM, headsets are off. He's so fucking good though, because it wasn't the typical "old man plays the hero!" bit; Vamp looked fucking terrified but he's a man and shit, so something had to be done. Until Sexy Star saved the day for him. I hope that hint at Vampiro stepping to Pentagon Jr. is followed up. I know if this were WWE, there's a good chance it would be forgotten by the next day but LU seems pretty good at the long-term gameplan. The best part: you don't need working arms to be an effective commentator. This show continues to dominate every other wrestling show on TV right now. It's so good that even NXT comes off quite often as boring these days.
  16. Disappointing third period. Also, Brian Burke. Is this what living in Alberta does to people?
  17. The mere fact Habs fans are INCENSED a guy would fake an injury when in fact PK is 1 more diving fine away from an automatic suspension.......... A Canadien faking an injury in the playoffs? What on earth are you talking about?
  18. Lots of people like the Jets and the Islanders. I had the Isles making it to the finals but the nerd stats overrode my love for them. Holy shit, go Nashville!
