Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[NHL] Something about the playoff should probably be in the thread title.

Sorry, we don't mean to.

DON'T PANIC
Versus is the national cable channel. Your local Fox Sports Net affiliate probably has the local team.
Are you surprised? No matter what, the Flames were going to have a bad start. They always do.
Good chance we take the Home Opener though, Regher will be back in the lineup with a new kid to play for 8-)
Alex Burrows for Art Ross!
the Kipper is usually a slow starter, his first 15 games or so aren't so good.
Magnify that by the fact that he hates Keenan and you have a winner.
I really do hope the flames crash and burn, they have Keenan and Bertuzzi. Plus I'm from Edmonton, so the Flames can fuck right off.
Hey, were you around for the Oilers' golden years, Wunder?
Sadly, no. I was 3 years old the last time they won a Stanley cup.
Then you'll forgive me if I tell you to shut the hell up.

I liked what I saw though. The offense was way more into it than they were all last year. 4 goals given up would have been a sure loss last year. Good to see they score, which is what they sorely lacked last year.
Hey, I'm always game for some good ole' Highway 2 rivalry. I've worn Oilers and Eskimos garb proudly in downtown Calgary during the stampede.
Backstrom, Semin, Federov, Ovechkin, Nylander, Brashear, Theodore...
man, all those years of suck seem so far away now. =)
It's a good thing they can probably score 4-5 goals a game, because you're going to have to win every game 5-4 with Theodore in net, especially with the style of game Washington plays.
awesome- milwaukee doesn't have an NHL team but yeah thanks.
Very true. Too true. Scary true.
I'm just excited to watch some offence. I think it was like 2005-6 when they went FOUR games without scoring a goal. It was beyond painful to watch those games.
I'm hoping we got early carrer Montreal Theodore, and not Colorado Theodore. It's still gonna be a year or two before Semin Varlimov, a great goalie in the system, is NHL ready.
That also makes 2 players within the Capitals organization with Semin in there name.
If you get Fox Sports North or something, you might get Wild games.
Yeah, it was a painful loss and Budaj... bleh.
I wanted to watch Lucic fight in person, even if he would have destroyed Lappy... ah well.
Funny side note, the Avs are 0-6 whenever me and a buddy go to games together. 6 more games to go this season, should be awesome.
Also! Free preview of Center Ice this week, at least if you have comcast.
This is what hockey is all about.
EDIT: Nevermind, still tied =(
I disagree 100%.
Penalty shots, and by extension, shoot outs, have nothing, nothing to do with the game of hockey. Hockey is a team sport, shoot-outs and penalty shots are goalie/shooter warm-up drills and they should never be used to effect the outcome of a game.
The NHL and the NHL Player's association disagree with you.
Well, if a penalty shot is given to replace a breakaway it's effectively even. I'll agree with you on shootouts. It's probably only a matter of time until playoff games are decided by them too.
Never gonna happen.
I agree with this, but I will say; If I am watching a game between two teams that I don't care about I will hope for a shootout, if nothing else, they are fun to watch.
And I disagree with them.
This is a ridiculous attitude, at least as it pertains to penalty shots. So you're saying its better to let people just trip anyone on a break-away and give them 2:00 minutes instead of calling penalty shots?
Do you want even less scoring? Also pro-sports is entertainment. Ties are not very entertaining.
I disagree 100%

Penalty shots still have nothing to do with the game of hockey, as it is a team sport, but they are a necessary evil. Someone fucked up? This is your punishment.
Shoot outs are like; Well you both did great, so here's your punishment.
Before the game, please boo Palin. Thank you.
I don't know if Budaj had an off night or what, but he looked awful out there.
Either way, I'm glad we got rid of Theo. Good luck Washington. May he be a better player for you.
