That's actually false. Jamal Mayers is black.

Edit:I'm joking about the gif.

I know. Greg Mauldin (who plays for the Avs) is too. But there are very few black players.

Dustin Byfuglien is a leading candidate for the Norris.
Johnny Oduya, Evander Kane....there are quite a few of black hockey players and most of them play in Atlanta.

The Kings season is over. What a disaster this turned into.

Blues need some points.

....and they got 2 tonight!

Finally. Last night was ugly...

Yes it was, but tonight they looked good! I'm broke so couldn't go to the game but there back out here in March, hoping to go then!

GO BLUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oshae (spelling?) should be back tonight. Penz rule

Oshie's back. And the Blues win!

Avs-Canucks was a hell of a game tonight. One of the most exciting of the Avs season for sure.

8 out of 10 for my boys.....and we don't have Getzlaf. Can't wait to see them in Montreal on Saturday

I really need to watch more hockey... Boston/Philly last week was the first NHL game I had watched in a while, and it was a great game. I know the Avalanche have been fading recently, so that's a great win.

I've always enjoyed watching them beat Vancouver. It's like KU/Texas in basketball. It's almost enough to feel sorry for them sometimes.



Almost. :D

I need to watch more Flames hockey. Seems like they are struggling.

This sure worked...:rolleyes:

Gonna be in some box seats on February 4th when the Blues play the Oilers.

now that Oshie is back for the Blues it should help them get back to form earlier this year.

anyone see that game Gaborik had? Think the benching helped him get a little motivated?

I don't know why Chicago got rid of Dustin Byfuglien, I know they needed to cut $$$ but I would have found a way to keep him. He is a helluva player.

I've noticed that yahoo actually streams a lot of games from their webiste, not the greatest picture but you can still follow the puck pretty easily.

Hell of a game between the Wings and Blues last night, to bad the Blues couldn't get 2 points.

Holy. Shit.

#15 UNO (and falling lately) beating #2 North Dakota 7-1 after 2 periods in Grand Forks. I was hoping they would get 1 point this weekend. PBJ

Damn that's a lotta goals.

The final was 8-4... the 3rd period was pretty chippy; should make for an interesting finale tomorrow.

I went to a hockey game tonight. MSU. The won 3-2. I have to say that I really like live hockey.

Chicago was misusing him & they needed to cut Cap Space.

Nabokov to the Isles......poor guy

Yes. Suck it, Detroit.

I agree :clap:

The Blues have been ****** by the waiver rule twice this season. First, they signed Svatos but the Predators claimed him then they signed Wellwood, but the Sharks claimed him.

well that's been a problem for the Blues before. So it doesn't shock me this time around that it came to bite them in the ass again.

I was thinking of grabbing Nabokov in my fantasy league but no way now that he's on the Islanders.

I think I'll go out to Long Island & see if he'll sign one of my Ducks memorabilia :)

LMAO I think the Blues can make the playoffs, BTW, if they weren't killed by injuries.

Also, I have box seats to a Blues game(February 4th vs the Oilers), and I hope to see a win.

Hopefully better than the Missouri Mavericks? I've never watched DII hockey... looks like MSU, KU, and MU play in the same conference, or at least play each other.

MSU plays MU here next weekend. Definitely going to try to go to one of those.

MSU definitely isn't very good. They suck at passing and spend half their time chasing the puck instead of controlling it.

oh yeah for sure, Oshie coming back is a huge help.

Yep and McDonald is almost back.

loved that dude when he helped us win the Cup.

and I almost had a stroke with this Ducks game tonight

I'm surprised they haven't put a CHL team in Springfiled, they would have some good road trips to KC, Wichita, Tulsa. That seems to make sense.

Hockey just doesn't seem to be that popular here outside of the college realm. Also, we don't have an ice arena big enough for that. We can't hold but maybe 1/3 of the people that the Mavericks' place in Independence holds. If it were to ever happen, I think I'd be all over looking into season tix (granted I find a job to pay for them).

I procrastinated and didn't call about tix to MSU/MU until today. All that's left is general admission. :(

A friend of mine might be able to score some tickets for Saturday though, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

And that arena barely fits 6,000, if even that, so the Springfield arena would be around 2,000 seats. In that league you pretty much need 3,000 to barely get by, that thats still probably in the red. Though somehow Ft Worth gets by with an arena that seats around 2,500.

Wow.

Sharks/Coyotes is a crazy game.

Coyotes were up 3-0 Sharks pulled goalie.

7 seconds left in 2nd period Sharks scored a PPG to make it 3-1.

Now 5:50 left Sharks are up 4-3. I just hoping for no OT as a Kings fan.

GOALIE FIGHT!!!! Penguins vs Islanders, one punch KnockDown!

I've always wondered when players drop their gloves right after a face off, do they plan it before hand or what?

Usually they are, sometimes they plan it at the end of a shift so they can fight when they are fresh. Sometimes they plan the fight right there during the faceoff, the gestures to fight can be non verbal as well. I tug on a shirt, a tap on a stick, a nod of the head. Wanna go? Yes! Drops gloves and a fight ensues!

Franzen's FIVE goals against the Sens power Wings to a 7-5 victory.

Yep, my fantasy hockey league opponent has Franzen. *dick punch*

As soon I heard that I checked my opponet, luckily it was not mine!

I've been out and about last few days and forgot to post this but I'm surprised someone else didn't mention it here...

Anyone see the Pens/Islanders game the other day? 346 penalty minutes, 15 fighting majors, 10 ejections,etc.

Crazy shit yo.

I'd post something about the Avs here, but they're honestly not worth talking about these days.

The pens islanders games was an embarrassment. I hate to see that for the league

I'd post something about the Blues, but they aren't even worth mentioning anymore. Not after blowing a 1 goal lead in the final against the Wild at home....

Really? That was ****ing awesome. How many times do you get to see a goalie fight another player that isn't a goalie?

LOOK WHAT HAPPENED SINCE THEN.:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Okay, I'm going to be Doug Armstrong. FIRESALE!111!!11 Bye-bye Coliacavo, Conklin, Cam(I don't give a shit that you're from the St. Louis area, you suck and Nitkin should have played last night, **** you Cam), and maybe McClement and Jackman.

Yup, they seriously need to find a goalie.

What are Anderson's problems now? I know he went back home to Denver.

I think the problem is that he has been on the ice for my team :D

The Av's have 2 goalies in the bottom 10 in goals against...

I haven't heard why Anderson went home, just see "personal reasons" and that it is day to day.

He's supposed to be back in net tomorrow night. Whatever the personal reasons were, they're not telling.

What are your thoughts on Forsberg making another comeback? It's good to see him come back at his age/injury issues and actually play at a reasonably decent level.

I think it's great that he's giving it another go. He seems to be a little slow compared to the rest of the team, but he was never a speedster. He still is making some great passes. If we could actually teach guys how to act on those passes, he could be a great boost for the team.

I do wonder if he's really happy to be playing on the Avs, as shitty as they are right now, or if he'd rather be playing for a contender. He's a tricky one to figure out.

Forsberg is one of my favorite athletes, and I hope he can get through the rest of this season and maybe even come back for another (even if it's not with the Avalanche). I saw highlights the other night on NHL Network, and he's played about 17 minutes in each of the past two games.


In other hockey news, UNO swept Wisconsin... 15,000 at Qwest Center Friday night.

Ducks tied for 1st in the Pacific & 4th in the Western Conference, I did NOT expect this in October

I didn't expect the Blues to go from 9-1-2 to being the 3rd worst team in the West, either.

I feel your pain.

Hey, I'll trade you a Conklin for Anderson. Whaddya say?

ROFL

Who said I was done yet? For a limited time offer, I am offering Andy McDonald and Jaroslav Halak for Jonas Hiller!!!!!11!!!111

Andy Mac returning to Anaheim like Frankie just did like it was 2006-07 again?

HELL YEA! Hell, just for the fun of it, we can even throw in Cam Janssen!

pass my Rams fan amigo...

:( Okay, now going back to being serious, I'm not pissed at the FO or the Coaches. Mostly pissed at ownership. Checketts doesn't have the money yet Scottrade manages to sell out every game.

I feel like St. Louis just needs to get a good system in place. They have some good young talent.

Honestly they remind me a lot of the Rangers in many ways but with a few less talented people.

It's not that they don't have a system in place(they do), but the team doesn't have the money to go out and get a big time player. The Blues have tons of young players and the trade with Toronto to get Steen and Coliacavo has been good. And remember before the Blues new ownership, the old Blues owner had the GM trade Pronger and basically abandoned the team.
