BigBubba Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 You know, I really thought they (the Islanders) turned a corner after last year. Guess not! Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 They forgot that defensemen better than Lubomir Vishnovsky are important. Man, that Carcillo trade is gonna put the Ragners over the top. Just keep loading up the East with more idiots! ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zpqmaowl Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 OITGDNHL just tweeted a picture of Kyle Okposo from March 29, 2008 talking about his current 2013-2014 point streak. the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Dustin Brown scored a goal tonight, moving a point ahead of Ben Smith in the 2014 scoring race.

Kramerica Industries Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Considering Edmonton's record of fail over the past several seasons would it be fair to make the comparison between them and the Islanders vis a vie the way they are run? Seems from what I have been reading that both franchises are operating in a similar fashion especially considering the histories of both (particularly the 80's.). Makes me wonder which team will be return to respectability faster.It's always a fair comparison between the Oilers and Islanders because, aside from the fact that one's a Western Canadian team and the other is an Eastern U.S. team, they are the exact same franchise.

ninersdd Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Same colors pretty much too. At least the Oilers reached the final recently in 2006, while I don't think the Isles have even come close since they won their cups.

Corvus Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I'd ask how Burke keeps getting jobs, but AJ Smith and Billy King have had multiple front-office jobs in their respective leagues too. Not even OITGDNHL!Burke had a pretty good run in Vancouver, to be fair, but it wasn't until Gillis took over that they really started putting it together. Well, Gillis took over from Nonis actually. The Canucks were "good" under Burke but never got to that elite level because among his other faults, Burke is terrible at getting good goaltending for his teams.

Funky Bunky Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 when your top power play unit is Getzlaf, Perry, Selanne, Bonino, FowlerWhat? Selanne hasn't been on the top power play unit in 2 years, nor should he be there. It's been Penner for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least games can still be bootlegged... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Bunky Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 I don't care how good the Sharks-Hawks game was, the Ducks-Canucks game was :censored:ING AWESOME. Ducks absolutely sucked in the first, but they went on to DOMINATE the 2nd and 3rd periods possession wise, but Lack was great and the Ducks couldn't grab the lead. They even outshot the Canucks like 40-7 or something after the first period. The Ducks were down by 1 with a minute left, and they tied it, and they won it with .6 seconds in overtime! yeah!

ninersdd Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Gutty effort by the Sharks tonight, they played every bit as good as the Hawks, and earned that win. Bay Area teams are 2-0 in frigid locales. BEAR DOWN ARIZONA!2013/14 Tanks Picks Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
