Article from today's New York Times on the fight:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/23/sp...y/23brawl.html

Best quote: The actor Denis Leary, who is from Massachusetts, may reflect the feelings of many Bruins fans. In an e-mail message, he said that anyone who believed “that two tickets and four plastic cups” of beer entitled you to “antagonize men who beat the living headlights out of each other for a living deserves to have his keister kicked.”

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

In your dreams....refs did their best to put the Wings back in the game, especially that freaking dive from Berschmoozie.

Nice to see Dustin Byfuglein send Christina Applegater into next week as well. :r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

sorry I was flipping pizzas during the game...I found this photo and thought it was funny.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

It is. ;)

The Wings definitely are decimated with injuries, I think they wll be much stronger when Zetterberg, Fippula, Franzen and Kronwall get back. Goaltending, which was supposed to be the Hawk's Achilles Heel, looks like it might be the Wings biggest problem when they get healthy.

Right now after the line with Datsyuk, Holmstrom and Berschmoozie, they don't have much up front...they really miss Henrik and Franzen. :2

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Manny Kaptain holds no grudge against the Bruins, although he has not been back to a game since the night his son John had to walk home with only one shoe. :r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Tom,

are you refering to TB as Berschmoozie? Is that a nickname?

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I am....I actually like many of the Wings, but I have no use for him. ;)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

lol....funny....its still hard for me to respect him as a player for my home town team even though he is having a solid season.....

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Yup...most guys come to your team that you hated on other teams, but you love them...Guys like Toad, not so much.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Sorry I do not support brutality in a physical sport. I just saying he is playing good but I can never be a fan after what he did to another player.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I hear you...ended Steve Moore's lifelong dream forever with one douchebag move.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Yes! Another win!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Wings need some players back. Plain and simple. Other then the Datsuyk line there is no other option. When you have Kris Draper leading a PP unit that doesn't give me a warm cuddly feeling. In fact it's like taking a pin and putting it in my eye. :mad: Chicago came in got great goaltending from their backup and took care of business.

Series is at 2-1 for the season. I believe the next matchup is 1/17 @ the Joe. Hopefully we'll at least have Zetterburg back. Then 2 more after that both in Chicago.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I know, the Hawks are on a roll! :tu

Maybe we should allow ourselves to get fleeced by StubHub for one of those games in Chicago! :D

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

When I was checking the schedule I was thinking the same thing ;)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Great hockey minds..... :)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Christmas break, and the Hawks sit atop the Western Conference standings.

Life is good.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Great start for Budaj tonight.... Though he struggled as a number #1....he is having a Hell of a run this year backing up Anderson. 5 games in December, 6 goals against.....

What a crazy year for the Avs... Nothing like I expected.....

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread

Hawks win 4-1 on goals by Byfuglein, Toews, Sharp, and former pride of the 'Canes, Andrew Ladd. :tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Im such a skate whore. I see pics and I just look at the skates. Hmmm one95's, vapor 60s, U+. Owned 8 pairs of skates at one point :r Weened myself down to 4.

OO and were all tied up big boy. Of course you have one game in hand, but the Sharks have played 21 road games to your 16 road games. Also Sharks have a higher road victory % then the Hawks.

I might be showing you my OOOOoooo face. :D Bersmoochi got 2 tonight baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on clown shoes you can do it!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Another Yotes WIN!!!!!!!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

You're really stretching, Mike! :r

Berschmuckzie is really pizzing me off. :r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Only team more surprising than the Avs....Phoenix.

A friend and I have been lightly discussing trying to get down to Phoenix for one of the March games against the Avs.

At the start of the season, who would have guessed these games might actually mean something....

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Word....many "experts" were picking the Avalanche and the Coyotes to fight it out for 15th place in the West. Now? Not so much. ;)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

No shiet man. If you would have told me the Yotes would have 50 points at this point of the season I would have taken that bet. The system implemented is working. Best of all you can tell the players are buying in cause they see the results and are keeping it going.

WTF happened to the FLyers? Talk about a bust.

Dont hate. Hell even the NHL network was talking about the road trips you guys got comming and saying you will likely drop a few as the road record is not that great. I am starting to love clown shoes BTW. :r

I am still not sold on the Avs. Its a nice story, but I dont know if it will hold out. The Yotes I officially believe in. I just think in the playoffs they may not hold up do to youth, but they do have some vets.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Lotta people are talking Tippett for Coach of the Year.


Oh, I hated before...and I will continue to hate. ;)

And a road record of 9-5-2 ain't that great? 25 of the other teams in the NHL would kill for it. And the Hawks are 7-3 in their last 10 on the road, Sharks are 6-4. ;)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

anyone intrested in watching the USA IIHF WJ game
http://www.ndsportstalk.com/sopcast.html

Watching this I am going to spend so much time working with my kids that play on passing. Man the USA Jr. team is making continued bad passes. If not for Campbells goaltending this could be bad. Short passes over passing, passing to no one. I know I could not hang with any of these guys, but man some bad passing.


All this pond hockey hype makes me sad. My son will never get to know pond hockey.:( One of these days ifhe sticks with it I may end up buying him some synthetic ice. Close thing we can get to it in Cali.

Two for Madden (with help from Ladd)

Two for Kane (including the game winner with 43 seconds left.

8 point lead for the Hawks in the Central, and sole possession of 1st in the West.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Tom, congrats on the strongest record in the league. I have tickets for Fenway Park and only wish that the game was with an original six team like the Hawks, the Rangers and my personal choice, the Canadiens. Have a great New Years all and for God's sake stay safe and think before driving.:tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Wow! Enjoy the game, Paul, I will be watchin'! :tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

You know what is funny Tom, I will probably donate the tickets to the Fisher House to let a couple of injured vets go and will watch on tv. That will buy me at least 4 more study hours and will get the tickets to those who really deserve them. :D

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Way cool, Paul! :tu :salute:

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Another close SO win for the Yotes! That's 10 in a row at home!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Byron Bitz began a three-goal surge in the first 17 minutes and the Bruins beat the Atlanta Thrashers 4-0. Go Bruins!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Winter Classic Friday at Fenway Park against the Flyers. Woohoo!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Does anyone know where I can find audio of Don Earle’s famous live NHL call "he hit the post, he hit the f***ing post!" ?

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Winter Classic Might be played in snow insted of rain for the new Year

Let's go Bruins
Clap, Clap, Clap Clap Clap:tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

The way it's meant to be played..outdoors and in the snow. I still enjoy watching the Yotes in the desert! Another SO, loss to SJ! Dang I can't stand those guys, they always find a way to win.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Big win for the Hawks over the Devils, 5-1.

Coolest part was seeing John Madden score of his former goaltender and best friend, Martin Brodeur. John asked Marty to bring four signed sticks for him to Chicago. Marty joked in a pregame interview that he was waiting until after the game to give them to Madden, and that he would not give them to him if he scored a goal.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Lookng at the records for the division leaders from the West against opponents from the East.

San Jose 9-2-0

Colorado 8-2-1

Chicago 8-1-1

Just thought this was kinda interesting.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Should be a lot of hard hitting today,always is when the Bruins and Flyers match up :tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I'm hoping the weather holds today, which it looks like will happen.

I wish I had the $300+ per ticket to go, but it was just too expensive.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Go flyers!!!!!!!!

Great game...Bruins win:wo:wo

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Glad to see a home team finally win the Winter Classic, how cool for the fans at Fenway.

The first period was a delight for amateur, beer league and pick-up players to watch. There were more missed passes, overskated pucks, etc, in the first period alone than usually happen in the whole NHL in a month. As close to pond hockey as the NHL can get. :tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Minnesota Wild. The State of Hockey... love the battles between the Minnesota North Stars & Chicago Blackhawks back in the day. Icehog... knows what I'm talking about!

Go USA Hockey!
