Can you provide proof of this. The only thing I saw was his facebook post where he tried to appear nuetral. He bagged on both sides dem and repub. While I have little doubt he is a conservative I dont think your statement is accurate.

Wings are killing it for sure. Sure the Sharks are kicking themselves over White. I liked him last year and was suprised they didnt try to keep him.

I am so glad the All Star break is here. The B's are playing like crap.

Let's hope the break helps.

Yes, it is official. I too am in love with Andrew Shaw.

Hawks are in the same boat. 1st to 6th in the conference in a week.

Here's the Thomas quote verbatim:

http://content.usatoday.com/communit...-celebration/1

[/quote]"I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People.
This is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level. This is in direct opposition to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers vision for the Federal government.

Because I believe this, today I exercised my right as a Free Citizen, and did not visit the White House. This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country. This was about a choice I had to make as an INDIVIDUAL.

This is the only public statement I will be making on this topic. TT[/quote]

So as not to violate the terms of CA concerning politics I'll let you draw your own conclusions. Obviously I've already given my interpretation.

Prefy · 01-24-2012, 07:14 PM

Not a good first period for the Hawks...talk about turnovers!

E.J. · 01-24-2012, 07:53 PM

Christ, how about getting some pucks on Backstrom....

Go Avs!

Prefy · 01-24-2012, 08:15 PM

Second period was more controlled but not much on the chances front. Need a big third!

icehog3 · 01-25-2012, 12:00 AM

Big third for effort, too little too late.

The Hawks all looked like they were already on break with the exception of Hossa and Andrew Shaw. If we had 18 Shaws out there tonight, we would have won in a rout.

Yep Shaw is a gamer, you could see that from the start. Everybody who see him play falls in love with him because he brings it every day. IMHO I would be pretty surprised if we see him back in Rockford.

The Central division is a gong show, I will be very interested to see where everybody ends up come mid April.

icehog3 · 01-25-2012, 12:19 AM

I think 4 teams will make the playoffs from the Central, Matt, there order is my only question.

Shaw had more legs than a Chernobyl centipede tonight....Love the kid!

E.J. · 01-25-2012, 07:32 AM

Stupid mistakes and a loss, not a great way to send me into the break....

Go Avs!

Was out for dinner for my dad's birthday last night, so I missed the game.

Going into the break with 2 straight wins is a great thing, considering the slide the Wild have been in. It'll be nice if we can get a couple guys back after the break, too. Not sure if anyone is that close to getting back on the ice.

Go WILD!

Ahbroody · 01-25-2012, 05:04 PM

That was exactly my point Mike. You took a statement in which he didnt say anything anti Obama and said it was "rather anti Obama". A statement where he blames both parties for his dislike of the current state of the government. He blames both parties and never says Obama. You didnt say it was your opinion it was rather anti Obama. You stated it as fact. For that I felt the need to draw your attention to what I believe was an inaccurate statement.

Personal politics aside this drives me crazy and is often the source of much of both sides tactics.

yourchoice · 01-25-2012, 05:25 PM

Talking politics in the NHL thread...at least you know Tom won't lock the thread!

Actually wanted to share a cute story. My 5 yo is in Kindergarten and has library every week. This past week she decided to pick out a book for me. Thanks Erin!

You know it's an old book when they referred to Chelios as a "rising star"!

Maybe the Hawks should have worn them.

Started watching the 2011 All Star Draft live, and saw Lidstrom at the beginning, and thought "Wings are playing tonight, WTF?". Then I remembered it was 2012.

Wings started their All Star break a day early just like the Hawks.

The thing about the Wings, and the reason I despise them as a Penguins fan is that you know last nights game was a fluke. They'll be back channeling the Red Army Teams of days gone by right after the Break.

Mike, TT didn't name Obama but if you can't read between the lines then you're blind.

Lidstrom isn't on the All Star team this year.

He's only the 2nd or 3rd best D-man in the league at age 41.

I saw the highlights of the Wings/Habs game. What a debacle. It definitely was one of those days that everything that can go wrong does.

Mr.Maduro · 01-26-2012, 11:26 AM

I know the all-star game is all pretty much bs, but tell me how Kovalchuk, Parise, or Elias don't make the cut???

I think the two rookies who made the squad from the Devils stepping down was not from injuries, but to make a statement.

Ahbroody · 01-26-2012, 12:53 PM

Mike I think Dionne Warwick could use your mind reading services. Give her a call.

Aaaaaaand Im done.
