Fucking Messier. How ironic that he came the Vancouver years later and was determined to do nothing except fuck up the team in the late 90's.

I remember that well, GF. Good to see you, BTW.
Did you hear the stat tonight - our chances of getting a playoff spot now - less than 1%. :( Not surprised, sadly.
Good to see you too bud!
Ya it's pretty weak. It was only 3% before the Ducks blew us out (again) but at least before that we'd been playing fun hockey again. It has been a very strange season. December was the 2nd best month in franchise history in terms of wins. Then it all fell apart in January/February. Oh well.
The Habs will be in the playoffs this year, they got in even if they lost tonight (It will be against Tampa, only thing that needs to be determined is who gets the home ice advantage)

I think someone is gonna get suspended...
I dunno, call me ruthless but looks like Kostka tried way too hard to avoid any contact whatsoever. Its fking hockey, man. If he went with contact he wouldnt have gotten an elbow to the jaw, looked like Murray would have been giving him a forearm to the chest if Kostka hadnt have made some funny maneuver to avoid contact. Sure major it or toss him from that game, but suspension sounds really harsh.
I think he will get a few games, if the league wants to reduce the numbers of hits to the head, it starts with that.
Elbow on the chin, what might save him is that he's not known as a "dirty" player (Plays tough but not dirty)
Streak snapped!
A view from my seat last week against MTL

Too bad they lost. Sat next to some MTL fans. They were nice, kind of dorky but nice. We went to the casino after the game and some crusty old Canadians, who were Wings fans, loved my Mickey Redmond jersey.
i was a huge bure fan at that time, had the canucks skate jersey at the time :tup:

That's sweet! I had the same jersey deeb. Bure was my favourite growing up and I wore #10 in hockey because of him. At least until he skipped town. They recently retired his jersey which I'm still on the fence about.
I had and still have several Lindros Flyers' jerseys from the 90s. Before we all found out he had no chin. I still remember the Flyers-Devils playoff game where he came back from that long ass injury and Scott Stevens delivered a huge open ice check that knocked Lindros' ass out. I'll never wear his jersey's again, that little bitch.

Keep your heads up, boys:

only one that didnt look legal was #4, that was a straight up elbow to the face...just about every other one just looks like a bad combination of circumstances...and dudes getting caught head down. gotta love the glass break, I saw that happen live once, it was fkn awesome. I was even telling my mom about it the day after and dropped the f bomb when describing the impact I was so fired up, and she just looked at me a little weird, and my face turned red, because I was pretty young :lol:
Just as I thought, Murray got a 3 games suspension. As DGX says, Keep your heads up, boys...lots of hits to the head happen because the one being hit was too busy to look at the puck to see
what was coming, LOOK UP!! but what REALLY makes me angry, its when a player does this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBtneaiswMg He turns, see the guy coming to hit him, TURNS HIS BACK at the
last second just for guy going for the hit to stop.
looked to me like a bonehead move by ranger, stuck his ass out and put his head down, wtf was he thinking.
good call on the suspension, you know your shit and how they call it :lol:
