Death From Above Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I am not too big on Slava (he's honestly kind of a troll and has gone off on some bizarre tangents/points), but it's certainly a really interesting insight if even half of it is true. I have had a sense of the KHL (from what little we hear about it) for a while that there's more than a bit of PRIDE FC there, in terms of where all their money comes from if you follow me. The economics of the league have never really added up, so in a sense this sort of thing doesn't even surprise me much. Even so, you'd think it would be a bigger story.

Death From Above Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 The Humboldt Broncos bus crash is as bad as everyone feared. I've got nothing to say here. Just that it could be literally any town that size in this country. Vegreville and Humbolt are pretty close to the same size. Everyone in these towns either knows someone, or knows someone that knows someone who is involved with a junior hockey team. It could have been any of us. No words for what this community is going through. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 During one of the intermissions of the Wings game tonight, Mickey Redmond and Chris Osgood were basically bawling while talking about the crash. Really moving stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Have people ever seen that Vince McMahon skit from the mid-80's, I think not that long after his father died, where at MSG he has Arnold Saaland et al there and he is "awarded" a Promoter of the Year award, essentially, by himself, and does the most ridiculously Vince "aw shucks" humble speech about it, as a giant fuck you to all his father's rivals? I've had that skit on the brain all day since I heard Bettman is in while still commissioner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 The last two days of the hockey media have felt like so much of "trades are not happening, but you never know, they could happen at some unknown time in the future, so still stay tuned during summer please!"

Jiji Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Slovakia looked really good against the Americans yesterday in a losing effort, as did the Swiss v the Czechs. Canada putting up two touchdowns on the Danes is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Russia only beat them by 4 so now I can just assume Canada will beat Russia 10-0 because that's exactly how sports work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Man, Sweden/USA last night and Russia/Switzerland tonight are the gifts that keep giving. The Swiss received two penalty shots on the same play. Ray Ferraro and Gord Miller both stated they'd never seen anything like that. Of course, the Swiss failed to convert on either of them but wow. Going to Russia vs. Canada tomorrow with my dad and I am very excited. I'm dreading the nightmare that is NYE public transportation but this should be good shit. edit: if you missed it, you can enjoy it here while it lasts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
