Is it too much to ask
For Center Ice to include what network is broadcasting the games in their menu?

New nickname for the new first line
The one I came up with last game – Backstrom Victor Overdrive is now
Backstrom Turnover Overdrive. It doesn’t sound right.

That 2 for diving was a gift. Also, I like this Aucoin guy.

Genius.
Btw, two things:
1) Whenever I hear “Van Massenhoven” I also hear “Van Massivehandjob”
2) I think the kid that gets the Ovechkin jersey for XMas says “fuck yeah” in that ad.

Van Massenhoven actually does mean “of the massive handjob” in Dutch.

I’m glad the Isles play got the diving minor, though. It was pretty blatant.

Hey, Nylander – when Jurcina finally clears the zone after killing the whole damn powerplay, don’t feed it right back to him and force him to ice it. A-hole.

Nylander has an extremely bad habit of doodling in his own zone. Please get him out of here, McPhee.

When he handed his stick to Alzner earlier in the period, it was like he had no clue what to do with himself.
by Ames on Dec 4, 2008 8:39 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Not saying that shouldn’t have been a dive but man oh man Andy Sutton milked that for all it was worth.
He’s a guy who throws a ton of cheap shots and then dives himself. A 6’6’’, 250 pound guy who plays like he’s a 5’9’’, 180 pounder trying to to make it as a “pest”
by David M. Getz on Dec 4, 2008 8:38 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I don't think it was a dive
But I don’t think it was boarding, either. Young refs have a remarkable tendency to make borderline calls on Ovie.
by grapejoos on Dec 4, 2008 8:40 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I think Ovechkin’s hit knocked him down but I also think he was lying there on the ice with his head in his hands trying to draw a call…and it worked. The ref’s hand didn’t go up for a good second or two after the hit.
But my personal disdain for Sutton may be clouding my judgement.

Agreed, but they did have another 12 shots in the second. How can they only have 2 goals on 29 shots against this shaky a goalie?

Still, only my second favorite goal Brash has ever scored against the Isles – I prefer the one where he scored and then dropped Witt like a toilet seat.

Great Goal by Brash
I know his corsi has sucked but he always seems to fore-check like a mother – probably to fault (and a bad corsi) so it’s great to see him get a goal
by crazycaldwell on Dec 4, 2008 9:10 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Brash actually has a pretty decent Corsi considering his role on the team. Great to see him score.

by grapejoos on Dec 4, 2008 9:28 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I think that early on it was an either/or situation with he and Flash, and Flash was playing well, so Fehr sat.

Just got back from the game
-Wow, Joey Mac may not be a good goalie but he made some crazy and often lucky stops out there tonight or it would be 8-2.
-The refs were making some unbelievable ticky-tack B.S. calls on our guys out there, meanwhile it seemed that it took a Cap being completely taken out 5 inches away from them before a call would go against the Isles.
-Man, Lepisto scares the absolute crap out of me.
-Prince Karl (I downgraded him after the FLA game) clearly needs more seasoning, the game seems just a step faster than he is used to, reminds me of watching Flash last year, taking 1 second too long…all game long.
-Jurcina still sucks.
-The Isles are a horrendous hockey team, jesus they’re bad!
-The Brads-Steckel-Brashear line looked really good tonight, it was great to see that scrum goal in the third.
-The Aucoin-to-Kozlov-to-Flash scoring chance was beautiful, and I still don’t know how Fehr put the puck in from that angle and it happened right in front of me.
