so went to the rangers-avalanche game last night. it was horrible in fact a travesty. me and maybe 3 people in my section were avs fans and we got destroyed. msg was ringing like they won a freaking playoff series. the number of fights at the end were ridiculous, half the avalanche bench was empty. it was ridiculous how shit they are right now. two games this week that i get to see them lighted up...keep in mind i've only seen them play live 4 times in my entire life due to circumstances like living in a city without a nhl team within a 6+hr drive radius i haven't gotten the chance to see them often. damn it all.

playoff hockey used to be so awesome when teams like philly (old style) and toronto made it and the refs would actually let the teams play. games would be all out war and 5 ot, but now bettman makes sure only the refs that call thousands of penalties make it, and it turns into a special teams fest. you'll still see a hard check, but playoff hockey just isn't as good. |
imo a hook is a hook whether it be during the regular season or Playoffs. just because the Cup is on the line does not give players the right to suddenly throw the rules out of the door. the refs are doing their jobs to maintain the integrity of the game. last thing i want to see is penalties not being called and it gets to the point that players are injured or a game and maybe series is decided by a goal ("cough" brett hull goal against the sabres) that shouldn't have counted because something wasn't called.

I once saw Swamper peel off 4 or 5 $100 bills from a fat roll and say this to Donald Trump: "Go clean yourself up; you look like a bum.". And then he threw the bills right in Trump's face/hair! Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut.
To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum. |
