    Two beauties from the Stars - Red Wings game last night.

    Two crackers there.

    Did you see the Pens @ Rangers game the other night? Weird game I thought. You should have been 2 or 3 up in the first period. Completely dominant for about 15-17 mins of that period and then a few mins of defensive lapses gave us two goals. Some great saves from Henrik. Second and third periods we were pretty comfortable and needless to say I was delighted with the win.

    If Crosby had put away that chance in the first minute, you would have won easily.

    Stamkos out indefinitely. Broken fibia.


  • Registered Users Posts: 419 ✭✭scottmcb04


    Could be out anything from 3 to 6 months, be interesting to see how Tampa get on without him! They are flying out so far this year!

    Olympic roster announcement in 6 weeks, be interesting to see if canada pick him!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 121 ✭✭MrGee


    Depends how serious the break was and how fast he can heal!!, shame really, hes been on fire!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭COYW


    Was watching the game last night when it happened and it was pretty obvious that it was serious. Here it is.



  • Registered Users Posts: 419 ✭✭scottmcb04


    They reckon he will be back in 3 months roughly, so not as bad as first thought!

    If he comes back as strong as he can, I'd like to see Tampa going far!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,553 ✭✭✭Fiery mutant


    It's bad to see a player of his calibre out like that. He will be missed but Tampa will get by, and hopefully he will come back just as strong.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    Great to see the Oilers bouncing back in style against the Blue Jackets!


    Regarding the Winter Olympics, what time are the games on in our time?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭COYW


    3-2 loss for the Rangers in Boston earlier today. Played ok and Nash scored a super goal, poor goal-tending from Rask imo, but the Bruins just had too much for us. They look like a serious outfit again this season and a great shout for the cup. Chara was immense for them.

    Great game one of the best in a while the atmosphere and pace of game was amazing from start to finish the boys earned their wages tonight ;)

    Yeah, it wasn't far off post season pace alright, with a few fights as well. Claude Julien commented on how much he enjoyed it too.

    Ah feck i shouldnt have read the post, ive recorded the bruins rangers game and was gonna watch it tomorrow morning. Anyways glad the Bruins won. There a better team then the Rangers at the mo IMO. Ill watch it regardless.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭COYW


    Good win for the Rangers last night, Kreider with a hat trick. Talbot looking more and more like a top notch goal tender. I reckon Henrik will be traded in the new year, as do most Rangers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,146 ✭✭✭aaronm13


    Excellent end to the circus trip for the Hawks last night. 12 points from 14 is pretty damn good. Think in Raanta too we might have a bit of a gem on our hands. He's looked really good so far this trip and is only going to get better.

    Blawkhacks sure look unstoppable
    Great depth they have to call on!

    Just a heads up but Setanta is €1 for the month. They show 15 NHL games a week.

  • Registered Users Posts: 419 ✭✭scottmcb04


    It's a pity the ducks aren't wearing a classic mighty ducks Jersey for the stadium classic!

    On another point, how the hell did the avs lose by 6 goals to the oilers?

    Yeah I can't wait til this west conference gets down to the last 10 games, it's gonna be unreal!

    I won't comment on Neal, because that is for fans of other teams to debate, but what Shawn Thornton did to Brooks Orpik tonight is amongst the scummiest things I have ever seen. Absolutely classless and he deserves a long, long suspension for it.

    Hope Orpik is ok.

    Have to agree JoeSoap. Neal's knee was unnecessary but Thornton deserves a lengthy ban for what he did. It was one of the worst incidents I have seen on the ice in a long time.

    On a side note and it is insignificant in the greater scheme of things when you look at the incident above, the goal award to the Devils tonight by Toronto was scandalous. Suarez would have been proud of the finish.

    Haven't seen it yet, will keep an eye out. Here is Shawn Thornton (0:12 or so, he enters from the bottom left).

    Tell me about. Painful to watch. The first Devils goal was kicked in, clear as day, I mean. Need to win this.

    Staal in the locker room with a possible concussion.

    Just seen it there that's disgusting, surely a massive ban for that! There seems to be no instigation from orpik, and Thornton just picks him out and acts as if he's in an mma ring not a hockey rink! I like a good fight but Jesus that's mad!

    I hope not only the NHL but the Bruins punish him and heavily!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,146 ✭✭✭aaronm13


    Absolute scumbag for that attack. Hope he gets the book thrown at him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 121 ✭✭MrGee


    Thornton lost the head, hopefully Orpik is ok. On the other hand , was an enjoyable game. Great result for the Bruins.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,062 ✭✭✭✭cena


    Just watching the game now thanks to this one euro offer for the month.

    There really was no need for that at all.
    One thing I notice d the bruins doctor was helping out with the pens doctors which I thoughy was a nice thing to do.

    Both teams really know how to put in a game. High action game so far. I'm near the end of the second period


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 185 ✭✭sketchpad


    Thorton's a thug, always has been. Fits right in at Boston.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,553 ✭✭✭Fiery mutant


    Thorntons not a thug, an idiot definitely. It was classless, and I lost a lot of respect for him watching that, and speaking as a Bruins fan, he needs to get 15 games for it. In the post game, he was distraught, and knows he has lost the respect of a lot of people due to his actions. I haven't seen a clear enough shot of the Orpik hit on Eriksson, but it did look like a head connection, and the fact Eriksson didn't have the puck may have a lot to do with it.

    As for the Neal incident, it was just as classless and dangerous as what Thornton did. But the department of player safety will deal with it and that's enough I guess.

    It was a great game, very enjoyable, and the Lucic v Engelland fight had the makings of a classic if they weren't both gassed.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    Bit harsh. I think he lost the plot and his actions were completely OTT but I don't believe he is a thug.

    Speaking as a Rangers fan.

    Just to make ya jealous im goin over to Boston in january and ive tickets to see jets game and predators game :)


    Also, thornton aint a thug, moment of madness which he alone will have to face up to. He said hes friends with orpik off the ice. This is contact sport. This stuff will happen. The original check on Eriksson was very high, he has a history of concussions, without condoning what Thornton followed up doing that original hit may have been interpreted as a hit to take Erikkson out of the game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,062 ✭✭✭✭cena


    I would love to see the jets play. You done well getting tickets for the game they sell out fast. Who are the bruins and preds playing

    watching the rangers game from last night . Not sure what I make I the nj first goal using the skate.


  • Registered Users Posts: 419 ✭✭scottmcb04


    I've been to 2 games this year so far, canucks losing 2-1 @ home to Dallas, and avs beating wild @ home in a shootout in Denver last weekend, wild got equalizer with 6 secs left, pretty good game!

    Prob get in a couple of more games b4 the end of the year!

    It seemed to me that he was flying in feet first and it went in off the skates. It has to be in a 'like kicking a ball motion' to be waived off. Good decision i think.
    I follow the Bruins, i picked a period when there was 2 home games in the TD garden within 2 days of eachother. The games turned out to be winnipeg jets v bruins and Nashville Predators v bruins. Im lookin forward to it, beers and Hockey for 5 days. Bring it

    Finalizing my travel to NY and Houston for next April. I will make the last three Rangers games (Sens, Canes & Sabres) of the regular season. We could be right in the midst of a scrap for a post season spot, judging by current form.

    Saw the Jets play in Chicago at the start of the 2011 season. Was their first away game and was pretty special with all the ex Hawks back in the united centre.

    Think we could be in big trouble if Crawford is out for a long time. Been very impressed with Raanta so far but don't know how confident id be going with himid for a long period. Crawford's definitely out for tomorrows game in Dallas.

    I never thought i'd be posting in this forum but I was over in Boston last weekend with work and we were treated to a night out at the Bruins versus Penguins game on Saturday night.
    It was unreal-I'm not a huge sports fan but the atmosphere was brilliant ( I had my foam finger waving all night!) and enjoyed the game more than I thought and the time flew considering it was nearly 3 hours -great finish then from the Bruins and the place irrupted! My dad even got to watch the game at home!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭COYW


    Hi saggycaggy,

    Welcome to the hockey forum.

    Much as it pains me to admit it, as a NY Rangers fan, you chose a superb game to go to in the Bruins v Penguins. Two top teams, with some special hockey players. The Bruins fans are top class and TD Garden is a proper hockey venue.
