NHL 08-09 Season!

[Kordolin]

In keeping with our unofficial annual tradition, I decided to start this thread up after hearing about this commercial:

BRUUUUUUUUUUUUCE!

Go Caps!

[Kordolin]

It begins...

The first is a wicked hit and completely legal. The second is clean but just unfortunate how he was leaning forward at the same time, it would have been shoulder to shoulder otherwise.

Craziest goal I've ever seen:

[Tsikura]

Some weak hits last week. I'd prefer #2 as #1 if anything. WHERES THE EMOTION!!!???

[Kordolin]

#1 was knee-to-knee from what I could see from the second angle, that should have been a penalty.

Lol, good stuff.

Of course i'll have to bring this up for you kordo . when douglas murray decked Steckel in the sharks capitals game about a week ago, granted Brashear won the fights vs Shellys right afterwards. I couldn't find just the hit on youtube but its all on the highlights from the game on youtube right at the start. You don't have to watch the sharks 7 goals to the capitals 2 afterward if you don't want to =P.

Ouch, lol.

I'm looking forward to a rematch in the Stanley Cup Finals (hopefully). When 1/3 of our team isn't out with injuries

[Wasted]

Haha yeah I'll have to give you that, been an unfortunate start for the capitals, some key players injured. Yeah that would be a stanley cup finals for the ages imo. Sharks are having an Ammazzziinggg start, im loving it

[Kordolin]

We're still tied for 3rd (with the Pens) in the Eastern Conference though, with 29 points.

[Kordolin]

HILARIOUS!

[Tsikura]

He's lucky he didn't wear his bra that day with that fucking sissy slap at 0:14

[Kordolin]

Speaking of bras . . . I'm reading that some Pen/Flyer/Ranger fans are gonna buy Semin jerseys and wear bras over them to their next home game against the Caps.

But you gotta admit, this fight is probably one of the funniest of the year, and has been nicknamed "Semin monkey-fisting Staal."

[Kordolin]

LOL

Ovechkin's props in this year's Breakaway Challenge won him the event with over 40% of the text-in votes.

TBH, I thought St. Louis and Getzlaf had much better moves (I loved St. Louis' lacrosse style one), but they just looked like they were going through the motions - Ovechkin is much more of a showman.

[Kordolin]

This is worthy of a lawlerskates.

The Goal, redux?

For reference, here's The Goal:

One of the best reasons to be a NHL fan?

Ovechken celebrates every goal like he just won the Stanley Cup. Granted the dude is probably the best player in hockey, but wtf is up with the 10 min joyride after every goal?

Pfft, don't tell me you subscribe to the "Canadian way."

[video][/video]

What's funny is when guys do run at him he usually gives as good as he gets.

Comparing Avery to Ovechkin? lol at that. Also lots of Canadian players Crosby included have been celebrating more lately, could be a coincidence but I doubt it.

[Kordolin]

I HATE NHL REFS!!!

This is like 1 foot offsides. You can see the white of the ice between the Sabres' player's skates and the blueline as he tries to tag up and the white between the puck and the blueline. This directly led to the OT winner a few seconds later.

Video here. The timestamp for this is 3:25.

Such bullshit. I'm so pissed. :doubt:

Fedorov was shooting lazers tonight though. :badgrin:
