On The Eve of the New Season: North of the Border Editio

Amazing night of hockey. Three teams I hate went out in order of least hated to most hated in increasingly painful fashion. I hope Marleau and Thornton's wives hold a press conference immediately after the game to announce all of "their" children are illegitimate.

This San Jose team from the last decade or so is the most gutless pathetic pieces of human garbage I've ever seen. So great. So, so fucking great.

No team I'd rather see blow a 3-0 lead than the gutless wonder that is San Jose.


Its pretty amazing and not a single person here is surprised.

The downside is that Smackie can't attend the games, on the plus side, I think the Ducks match up better with the Kings with Quick playing the way he is.

Quick the way he played the first two games or the last five?

Regardless, joe Thornton is the softest superstar in history in any sport. I hate him so much and he shits the bed EVERY. YEAR.
Is this the place to discuss Mcphee and Oates get the axe?

Yes.
What a choke job by Montreal. Wow.
I can't repeat what I said last night with 7 seconds to go, but that was a HUGE loss for the Ducks.

Sorry. Gaborik has always been one of my favorite non-Wings. Fantastic game and part of an amazing sports day overall.
While I found that humorous, I'd prefer he squirt a puck through the legs of Jonathon Quick.

Doughty is making Getzlaf look average, at best.  And doing so with ease.
John Gibson.  Well,  I'll be…

This is one of the nuttiest series in a while. I'm enjoying every second as a neutral party.

please fall down a flight of stairs
well, you did ask nicely… i'll see what i can do.

does this mean our beer trade is off?  :'(
I already want to throw up and game 7 is over 36 hours away.  As much as I enjoyed the banter with Julian a few years ago heading into the Detroit game 7, I have so many friends and family members that are Kings fans that I've basically just stopped talking to everybody for the past week or two.

Oh, and I clearly know nothing about the East.  I hope I know the West….

Sorry, Smackie, but: Welp, called that one too.
Ovechkin appeared to suffer a fairly serious knee injury in the World Championships. Could not leave ice on his own, MRI upcoming, Russian officials pessimistic.
has anyone heard from smackie?  i'm worrying about him, haven't heard a peep since the anaheim meltdown…
