Vancouver once again released Manny Legace and I hope neither side is going to make it a three strikes thing with him . Legace has some good games left in him but there comes a time when you spend more time going from team to team to try out than you do going from city to city to play games , that you might want to say "fuck it" I'm golfing fishing and golfing .

 

You want that and I want Actress Sophia Myles to sit on my face ............. I think we are both SOL .

 

For me liking the Edmonton Oilers is on my list right behind giving myself a root canal without novacaine but has anyone noticed the play of Jordan Eberle . This kid is on a streak and has some serious talent and with the likes of Ryan Smith and first overall draft pick Ryan Nugent-Hopkins as well as a couple other potential snipers , this guy will be one to watch this season .

 

Here is a list of the odd's of winning the 2012 Stanley Cup :

Vancouver Canucks5/1
Boston Bruins8/1
Washington Capitals17/2
Philadelphia Flyers9/1
Pittsburgh Penguins9/1
San Jose Sharks9/1
Detroit Red Wings12/1
Tampa Bay Lightning12/1
Chicago Blackhawks15/1
Los Angeles Kings16/1
Anaheim Ducks22/1
Montreal Canadiens22/1
Buffalo Sabres25/1
Nashville Predators25/1
New Jersey Devils30/1
Phoenix Coyotes35/1
Calgary Flames35/1
Carolina Hurricanes35/1
Dallas Stars35/1
New York Rangers35/1
St. Louis Blues45/1
Toronto Maple Leafs60/1
Ottawa Senators60/1
Colorado Avalanche65/1
Edmonton Oilers70/1
Minnesota Wild70/1
New York Islanders70/1
Winnipeg 80/1
Columbus Blue Jackets90/1
Florida Panthers125/1

 

Will we see a player drop dead on the ice this season in Philly perhaps ?

Coincidence that he has the word heart (Hart) in part of his name ?????

 

If you like playing the longshots ........ try this one on for size , personally I would wipe my ass with my money before taking this bet .

I love sour grapes.


80% of Canadians can't skate.

80% of Canadians aren't college graduates.


80% of Canadians, though WISH they were Boston Bruins.

 

lol ......... don't ever lose that vivid imagination Ump . :excited:

 

Brandi, I can guarantee you that the Americans who follow hockey know this.

 

Just like most people that follow this site know those cute panties of yours . :excited: :rose:

 

Looks like Shanahan is swinging the suspension hammer bigtime. Bout time too!

 

I still laugh at Shani every time I see his 2 dogs "Lady" and "Byng" in commercials .

I don't think I can remember even seeing him get one vote .

 

For the record, I am a Habs fan, but 'grats on Boston for winning the cup. There were alot of whiners on our side and all, but I tend to ignore them. It's nice to see Original 6 teams winning the cup instead of the expansion crap. That's what is wrong with hockey imo, there's too many teams now and too few quality players.

Oh, and Vancouver no. 1 in odds of winning the cup? Not with BobbyLoo in nets. Guy's a choke artist.

 

You mean Bobby Let-one-go?

 

Hab's fan huh ......... I hear Ump coming with a comment to follow , lol .

My book today has Vancouver and Washington both at 7/1 and Boston at 10/1 this minute .

 

Nowhere in my soul can I support the Canadiens, sorry----but I do agree with you in general spirit.

Here is how I would like to see the Cup go in the next couple of decades:

BRUINS win every third year (I'm not greedy) for next 21 seasons.

TORONTO win every fourth year for next 20.

DETROIT win every sixth year;

CHICAGO win every seventh year;

CANADIENS can win once;

two expansion teams (preferably the Devils and the Flyers) can win once each

and the RANGERS can suck my dick.

 

I remembered how you felt about the Hab's but forgot about your distaste for the Rangers ........ nice reminder Ump . :excited:

 

As far as I am concerned, the Rangers could never win another game until Armageddon, and the Canadiens can only win their games against the Rangers.

I wouldn't mind the Canucks and the Hurricanes winning once in a while either-----and I am already getting a warm spot fot the return of the Jets, but beyond that.....


Penguins:*/
Capitals?
Stars?:-s
Avalanche??:*/
Kings?:*/
Sabres?:Zz
Predators?:wall:
Sharks?:wall:

etc., etc., etc........

 

speaking of `put up or shut up' why don't you, OP! Damn pessimist! Many in the `Peg have been waiting a Long time for a return of the Jets. You have nothing...just pessimism and an overblown ego!

 

Ump, Toronto? Are you effing serious? The organization ices a friggin' AHL team every season! :excited:

*edit* I'm glad the Peg got the Jets back, beats the heck out of Atlanta fanwise. Bettmann has gotta be squirming knowing that he was wrong, but the other side of me is thinking he will try anything in his power to try and prove himself right. The sooner Bettmann gets out, the better the sport will be.
