Kerry Fraser says Vaneks goal shouldn't have counted. Budaj was pretty obviously shoved into his net, but Montreal should never have let that entire play happen. They're so bad when the other team pulls their goalie.

Lots of blame to go on that goal. Plekanec (best team FO player) and Subban who's the best at clearing the crease should have both been on the ice, Budaj should have covered it, and it was blatant interference that the ref lost sight of but didn't call down. It's hilarious how Silverberg gets with a foot of Price and it's interference but Ott is literally in the crease, and pushing Budaj in but no call. Refs continue to be inconsistent and complete garbage.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
I hope the Tampa Bay players like snow. Most of them probably do, being Canadian, but they obviously don't get any down in FL. This should be fun for them.

He was being a prick fucking with Gionta which is what caused White to freak out on him. Quite the introduction indeed, at least Prust kicked his ass last week.

I get that a lot of people probably have good reason to hate Ott, but he's been pretty tame this year. Last week when he fought Prust, he pretty much asked for it at the faceoff. And yeah, he got smoked. :lol Even looking at the replay of the game-tying goal, he was clearly in the center of the crease but it wasn't like he ran Budaj.

I'm sure there will be plenty of reason to hate Ott in Buffalo, but 10 games in he hasn't done much.

This is so great on so many different levels.

Ty Conklin has had strings of 10 games where he's been the best goalie in the NHL. But he never stopped being Ty Conklin.

Crawford could be emerging as a true #1 starter in the league, but I don't think he's got enough time to prove himself worthy of the Olympics. Even with Canada's lack of depth in net. AFAIK just one guy here suggested that Crawford "needs to be in that discussion" and Tabris, having zero frame of reference outside of what other people say, parroted him.

We'll see how he looks halfway into the season. Would like to have a larger sample size than eight games.

I'm actually surprised he dropped the gloves with Prust considering he was trying to fight 5'8", 20 year old Gallagher before that. He still tried to get the jump on Prust before he could drop his gloves though. He didn't run Budaj, but he pushed him into the net, hard to make a save then.

Right. So he fought a guy and crashed the net hard. There's not much there this season to really vilify the guy.

Eh, that's dumb though. It's like saying that Raffi Torres hasn't ended anyone's career this season so there's no reason to vilify him!

Fuck Steve Ott for life, no matter what he does and how he plays.

Yeah, I completely admit to being ignorant to his history because he played for Dallas. I know he's known for being dirty. All I've really seen is is when Prust wanted to fight, he wasn't running away.

Like lamaroo says he always tries to pick out the smallest player who doesn't fight to fuck with. Dude is spineless.

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
I have to admit, it took me longer than it should to realize it, but I finally figured out what was odd about the Characters in the non-CGI cutscenes in Fire Emblem: WHY THE FUCK DOES NOBODY HAVE FEET?!? What's up with that?!?

Apparently it was an actual design choice. And it's horrible.

Amazing game otherwise.

I would pay the NHL to add "challenge flag" option. 1 per game. Costs your timeout if you lose.

I would even be fine with the penalty for losing a challenge be a 2 minute delay of game, so that it would be rarely be used but gives the coach the option for something like that interference.

Like Lamaroo said, he was trying to fight Gallgher who's 5'7 before Prust stepped in...

Well this definitely falls somewhere in the top 5 dumbest things you've ever said.

You know, part of me would maybe be okay with review, but for what? Where do you draw the line?

And talking about it and implementing it are two different things. I really wouldn't want that shit slowing down the games. And the two minute penalty is an even worse idea.

Must be quite a top five. And probably quite a top twenty.

I had him on ignore for a while (which turned out to be useless since everyone here loves quoting almost everything he says) so my top 5 is full of some old, stupid shit.

What? I was just saying that line would be awesome. A man can dream, can't he? You're like everyone that isn't Rudy, in the movie Rudy.

EDIT or Jon Favreau or the Custodian who used to play before he got angry about being benched or Rudy's best friend before he died or the Priest in the ND chapel or the brother who gets Rudy's girlfriend or Vince Vaughn after he has a change of heart

WHY would they give him a black ice jersey, it's so ugly[/QUOTE]

I chuckled a bit when I heard last night they gave him a Subban jersey, but then again it's pretty the best selling one, but this!? What the fuck is that thing, kill it with fire.

It's not funny because it's so unrealistic. It's funny because that's a horrible idea. Why put a $9.6m puck hog on the ice with the Sedins when you can get 30 goals from just about anyone?
