I love the self-help ‘find your own damn feed Angela’ feature, thanks I feel better not having to bug Dayna all the time. How many shots was that on the PP, one? So hit or miss.

haha he was just doing his job I guess. Even still he killed about a good 10 seconds off that penalty. Then again he made the penalty time 1:50 longer by going to the box himself. Pens win in the end.

Cool, glad you dig it.
Malkin is an animal. Two ridiculous passes, one of which you’ll probably see on some kind of highlight reel tonight.

Regarding this intermission story: Gretzky’s numbers were insane during the 80s/90s, but do you think if he were playing now those would be absolutely ridiculous with the new obstruction calls?

too much, but at the same time your play would develop or work with your current surroundings, so don’t you think that his style would be different from the newer style?
by AngelaMc on Dec 8, 2008 8:31 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I guess so, but Gretzky was always good at avoiding hits and keeping his head on the proverbial swivel. I think he’d score upwards of 150-175 points a season in this league – and consistently.

Gretzky looks like he has taken to the drink, or way too much time in the sun, or his team has raised his blood pressure twenty points

by AngelaMc on Dec 8, 2008 8:33 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I don’t know. I’ve actually wondered that myself. I mean, I guess he could be sueded to step down if the going got tough, but at this point things aren’t looking good in Phoenix. I read earlier today that the Coyotes may likely lose $30-$35 million this season.

Sykora/Sekera is really confusing me tonight. I just thought the announcer had terrible pronunciation, until I realized it was two separate players. (That’s especially sad considering how many times we’ve already played the Sabres this season.)

Finally! Now maybe since he’s got this first one he’ll just open it up and start pouring on some more! I imagine the first of the season is the hardest to get.

Hah even Orpik scored before him. I’ve read the team makes fun of Letang constantly – he’s like the punching bag on team bus rides. I bet Orpik had to have mentioned that at least once. “Tanger, even I scored before you.”

I only blame that one pass from Sid. Should’ve shot it, Miller stumbled a bit coming across the crease. Other than that I agree with ya – Buff did a great job.
