i wish the art of the hip check would have a renaissance

 

I think Ristolainen could bring it back. The one he put on Green a few weeks ago was beautiful.

[Johnny DangerFace]

Petes-Storm is on NHL Network, if anyone wants to get some looks at Eric Cornel.

 

I hope he doesnt.....lay an egg

 

 

 

 

:rolleyes:

Another fight night, this time in Winnipeg. The Avs down by four goals. Big fight, they end up with a two man advantage and pull their goalie for a 6-3 power play. Then a Jet defender broke his stick, making it effectively 6-on-2. Avs couldn't score. Late in the PP one of the Avs also broke a stick and was the only man back when the Jets cleared the puck apparently on goal. He made a skate save. As the PP ended, the Avs changed on the fly to bring the goalie back on the ice. Certainly not something you see every day.

I love a good hip check. Even if it misses, it makes that forward hesitate coming down the wall.

[Stoner]

Hip checks don't get rocks off. There's no brain injury. That's where the sexy is.

If that's all it takes to acquire Eberle, than what the hell is Murray waiting for?

 

That was precisely my thinking. I can't imagine that's all it takes...and I'm fairly certain it wouldn't work out cap-wise for Boston.

Watching the Isles kick the snot out of the Blues. The Isles have a really good team this year. I'm impressed.. They are fantasy gold too.

Remember when Garth had no idea what he was doing?

[wjag]

Crazy game on the Island .... 3-0 Isles lead is gone. 3-3 now mid second

[Randall Flagg]

Was 3-0 NYI, but Blues just tied it up, great game.

[Hoss]

According to the NYP Andrew Barroway is on the verge of backing out of his purchase of the Yotes... Jesus Christ. Get this dude away from hockey.

Good grief... wonder what the deal is. Link here:

Sounds like current owners directed the sell-off to cut expenses, which would suggest they are no longer expecting the cash infusion from Barroway. Wth is going on there?

[wjag]

That STL-NYI game was a beauty..

 

Marty wins in relief

 

Overheard on ref's mike, "if you poke Marty, you have to pay the taxes"

This franchise won't be around much longer. They'll head elsewhere when that out-clause comes up in 18-19 (or is it 19-20)?

Well that was a possibility even in the beginning, though... I can't see how that becoming more likely would put the kibosh on the ownership deal. Maybe he just figured it less likely he'll recoup his investment in a few years? They can't improve the team and draw more fans without money, though.

 

Edit: and if he's not prepared to lose money the first few years, he should've never considered investing in the Coyotes to begin with.

Wasn't saying that the fact that they would be leaving had anything to do with the ownership deal failing. The ownership deal failing may actually make it less likely but I do think this team moves either way.

No, I get it; I'm mostly wondering aloud as to why he'd be backing out now. AZ's tenuous situation isn't a new thing (as you pointed out), so what's changed? Is he just fickle?

[Jeanbe]

Where they put the arena in PHX was a bad idea to begin with. I live here and can't make it to Glendale on a weeknight for a game because I have to go home and feed the dogs and head out to the arena. Just too damn far to travel to the west valley. The Yotes would have been better off with a downtown or Scottsdale location but that no longer matters. It is what it is.

 

I don't see the Yotes being here much longer. There is no fan base after the few thousand die hards.

I'm assuming there were specific details of the deal that he wanted but isn't getting. Maybe like being allowed to move the team whenever he wants.

My brothers a hard core Isles fan from the beginning so he got to enjoy the good years. I was teasing him this summer about us getting their pick in the draft and how we snowed Garth. He explained how they were going to have a breakout season and said don't underestimate Garth. Said he'd built a team that would contend. I laughed. Turns out he was right. They are playing great hockey.

Saw that the other day, very funny. Oiler's and Boston's were my favorite. I wish they could've come up with something better for Buffalo's, kinda tame honestly.
