just wanted to let everyone know that the penguins suck

Sidney Crosby is good though.....a team with him and Lemeiux shouldn't still be winless. :?

ballpoint's are better ... atleast they dont throw up at high altitudes :lol:

you still cant use ballpoints in space... and if im as near to 'out there' as people say i am, i cant afford not to have a pen that works in 0 G :P

oh, and the 'next one' is getting way to much attention :roll:
Go Wings!

pens rule :!:
they have been working well and reliably since it was invented and easily accesible. can't say the same thing with technology

Malkin is an idiot, he rejected the NHL to do nothing...boooooooo

Lemieux has only so many years left, Malkin can't being an idiot

dammit, the penguins are reaking :(

umm not sure about that, cause there is someone that will always put you in your place.

though right now with all the penalties being called, you can get away with it a little more.

This is a sport though - having an edge anywhere is good. Sure you're right in one way - level headedness is a good attribute even in hockey (treating it as a business) but cockiness also helps create chances in sports as in life. So much of hockey is the passion. If I were a coach I'd want my team confident

TT - lmao - i won't even go there

penguins are hilarious, all wibbly wobbly. hehehe

LEMIEUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUX.....Pens Win, Pens Win :shock:

Ronin, remeber kevin Stevens, his game was similar to leclair and he fit in fine....that's how leclair scored his goals.

...oh yah, Lemieux 5 pts night 8)

now they can join the pen15 club hurray

yes... well, Wings win again, 10-1... best ever for the franchise in october!
two more games against the backhawks coming up, the game was 5-2, and another win by Legacy! its hard to believe how good the penalty kill is with the wings :shock: :-D i got to see a game at the Joe this winter

^^^^
that's cause they don't dave lewis running a left wing trap no more

...did anybody c spezza's goal....its was pretty dirty

Wow - they took tout Atlanta - tough :| :lol:

back to the patented losing...boooooooooooooooooo

well this isn't even funny anymore...:"defence defence...u call that blowing".... :fist:

edit: Pens WIN ... :shock:

^^^^^^^
i can only imagine what the Chicago Blackhawks are thinking after loosing 3 games in a row against the Wings :-D
9 games in a row 4-1 victory... most goals scored in the league :twisted:
manny legacey was injured, so Osgood took over for the win; hopefully his knee isnt too badly injured.

Hull is an idiot for leaving the wings...

He retired anyway- didn't he?

he left the wings (as did Macarty) because of the salary cap now in place... inevitable...and by game 5, he announced his retirement.

i feel, however, that Hull will make a comeback; not unlike Hasik and others.

Hull? no way - he's done

what are u all talking about...Hull is playing for Phoenix...and he's stinking it up cause he doesn't has Datsuk and Zetterburg flanking him

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Brett Hull choked back emotion and thanked "everyone who ever touched my life in the game," announcing his retirement on Saturday from a career that left him the third-leading goal scorer in NHL history.

"I wish no one had to do this because it's so hard, it's hard because you never think you're going to grow older and be unable to live up to the expectations you set for yourself," he said.

The 41-year-old Hull, who had one assist in five games for the Phoenix Coyotes in his 19th NHL season, had to stop to gain control of his emotions, with his three children, fiancée and several former teammates looking on.

"There's an old expression, and I don't know who said it -- 'The mind is willing but the body isn't,'" Hull said.

Coyotes coach Wayne Gretzky is one of his best friends, yet Hull found his minutes on the ice diminishing.

"I realized I wasn't who I thought I was," Hull said. "I wasn't Brett Hull at 30 or 35 even. I was 41 years old and after a year and a half layoff, I didn't have what it took to play in the new game that was so exciting."

Hull's announcement came two hours before the Coyotes faced his former team, the Detroit Red Wings.

"The National Hockey League will miss Brett's skill, his scoring touch and his fun-loving attitude," NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said. "He was a splendid athlete, a passionate player and someone who never hesitated to speak his mind. His achievements further cement the Hull family legacy of hockey greatness."

Hull signed with the Coyotes on Aug. 6, 2004, lured by Gretzky, who was leaning toward becoming the team's coach. There was no 2004-05 season, though, because of the NHL lockout. When Hull joined the team, he found it hard to keep up with the younger players.

Only Gretzky and Gordie Howe have more goals than Hull in NHL history.

"I was probably more emotional today about him retiring than I was the day I retired," Gretzky said. "It's a new beginning for him and his family. I told him today he's going to look forward with a lot of great times with his kids and his fiancée. His records speak for themselves. He's a consumate professional. My dad told me today that I ran [an] 800-goal scorer out of hockey."

Before the Coyotes' home opener a week ago, Hull's father, Hall-of-Famer Bobby Hull, had his number "un-retired" so his son Brett could wear it this season. The Hulls are the only father-son players to each top 600 goals.

Hull had 741 goals and 650 assists in the former Minnesota-Duluth star's long NHL career with Calgary, St. Louis, Dallas, Detroit and Phoenix. He joined the league with Calgary in the 1986 Stanley Cup finals. He is second on the NHL career list for power-play goals (265) and third in game-winning goals (110).

"I don't think I've seen a better player shoot the one-timer," said New York Rangers forward Jaromir Jagr, whose 541 goals since the 1990-91 season are second only to Hull's 595. "It was a gift."

Hull won Stanley Cup titles in 1999 with Dallas and 2002 with Detroit. In 1999, he scored a controversial goal in the third overtime to give the Stars a 2-1 victory over Buffalo in the series-ending sixth game.

"I made so many friends, had so many good times," he said.

Hull played in nine All-Star games and was the league MVP in 1991. Hull played for the United States in the 1998 and 2002 Olympics, as well as in three World Cups. He was part of the gold medal World Cup team in 1996.

Brendan Shanahan, who played with Hull in St. Louis and Detroit, called him "a guy who spoke his mind, a colorful guy."

"A lot of the changes that are being made in the NHL, he should get a lot of credit for," Shanahan said. "He's been talking about these things for the last 10 years."

Hull said he wanted to stay in the game, perhaps in management, but never as a coach.

"I don't care what anyone says," he said, "it's the best sport there is."

and yeah the pens won, WOW but its not enough and they wont make the playoffs!!

its still early in the season to be calling them off already; but its not easy to come back from what used to be called 10 losses.

the pens just need some confidance...brand new team/coach...I say they sneek in 6th or 7th

well, Detroit couldnt make franchise history tonight... and against the oilers, its clear to see that they are a young and fit team, compared to the old-timers of D-town.

it was a loss in O/T, but really... who can complain about a 9 game winning streak?
oh, and they just tied 4 other teams in history to make 25 goals in the first 14 games :)

with all this scoring hopefully it'll go back to 150+pts/season...
...pens won, leafs lost...good news all around

Lemieux is coming back...and I got tickets to the Sabres game :multi:

hopefully Therien can do something...Olzyck was just useless

well, I didn't blame Olzyck....I said he was useless....I hate when ppl start making assumptions.....but anywho, hopefully this'll stir things up, and hopefully Lemeiux reaches 700G soon

well if it was up to me I'd fire half the team, but its not so I am left with no team to cheer for :(

well, Malone, Gonchar, Leclair, Rechi, Orpik, Thibault, Melichar, Whitney etc...

The only 2 lines that Therrien should keep is Crosby, Lemieux, Palffy and Christensen, Oullett, Surovy....

from what I saw saturday, Thibault has no confidence in stoppping any shot, Melichar took way too many penalties, Gonchar couldn't play defence if his life depended on it, Orpik is just as useless, Whitney for some reason was running the other point on the pp, and not a single person could make a tape to tape pass....Malone is just the biggest sack of shit in the world, Recchi is alright but he has no one to play with and so he suffers, LeClair is injured, and so basically unless Therrien can get those guys to play some d instead of doing nothing then they're complete useless bums....

Max power ur a leafs hater and u live in TO? u tread on dangerous ground my friend... :wink:

so what, if u live in TO u automatically have to cheer for the leafs, when was this a rule, I hate the leafs cause they suck and no leaf fan wants to ever admit it

Quote:

well... they are better then the Pens, and Blues :wink:
they've also beat the Wings too much already :(

well this topic was started with "The Pens SUCK'...so its not like I am denying it, and then I've already said that TO management has let me down more than the team itslelf...the one player I liked on the leafs got traded....Mogilny was hilarious and told the toronto media to shutta fuck up...

who do u cheer for max power?

it used to be the penguins until they traded absolutely everyone, Straka, Jagr, Kovalev, Morozov (not traded but not on the team), Hrdina, Tugnutt, Lang, Kasparitis, and then Lemieux got injured...the Pens/Flyers series was were it peaked...
technically I should like NYR, but Jagr screwed over the Pens so he can go fuck himself
...I was hoping that Malkin would play this year, and that LeClair, Recchi, Gonchar and all the new acqusitions wouldn't suck but they did...I still like the pens but they've let me down big time :(

Pallfy retires...more great news for the pens, this will definetly help them secure last place in the NHL...man I hope Lemieux plays another season cause this is no way to go

ohh.. I was looking forward to talking about writing instruments, and my new Mont Blanc :oops: :P

no kidding :?
i mean... Yzerman has had injuries plague him... but he always comes back... now hes quite a bit older... and i wonder if he'll be coming back next season... it does seem that Chelios will return... he's as good as ever.

anyway.. the Wings got their 4th shutout of the season last night :) i guess Osgood really can be usefull sometimes :wink: but Legacy has under 2 goals against average :shock:

pallfy was forced into retirement by the gm if you read between the lines.
his doctor told him he could play the rest of the year. but with days left in the Fleury countdown to the AHL, he retires and they tell the goalie he can play the rest of the season

somthing is fishy and it isn't Crosby being a pussy again

the gm just said to him, you retire now, or we will say you signed a 3 year contract knowing you had an injury and he would loose all his money

Pallfy did the smart thing, and prob got paid 3mill. under the table and set free.

either way the pens suck balls and would loose to most AHL teams, malkin coming next year isn't going to help them that much,
no D 1 line teams can only do so much (yet atlanta is proving that wrong, but crosby is no Kovalchuk, as Kovalchuk proved when he whipped the floor with crosby in their first game)

Pallfy retired from the slovak team too, and his doc didn't recommend him a 3rd surgery...Thibault is done for, and Caron is complete shit, the pens had no choice, although Patrick said that 'the organization was all about winning' and well that's bogus.
...either way if the pens don't get a new arena, well i don't wanna c them move to houston

...kovalchuk is in his 3rd year, crosby is not, the 2nd best player on the pens is maybe Oullet, who's another rookie, Lemieux has heart problems, Gonchar can't play d with the new rules, but hten neither can the rest of the team, Tarnstrom has gotten injured, and all the free agents have been shit up to this point. The pens have Morozov and Malkin to maybe fill in for offence next season, and Fleury is playing great with the worst d, the coach is fine.....and well the management has always been shit, jagr wanted 11 mill and pittsburgh only offered 9.5, and let him go...

crosby is the most over rated player since Sam Bowie (you might want to look that one up)

Jagr is worth 11 mill. hell forsberg is worth the 11mill he got.

as for kovalchuk
3rd year means nothing, you good no matter what year you play, people have been comparing this guy to kharlamov since he was 16 or younger.

Kovalchuk is better and always will be then crosby any fantasy player knows that :wink:

^^^he is prob. going to be MVP... if you have the money he is worth it. you don't want him on your team? have you seen the guy play he is a beast on the ice, big, fast, one of the best shots, and hands like no-one else

can crosby to this?
http://www.break.com/index/amazinghockeygoal.html
i know he wasn't looking @ the net when he let the puck go.
the fact with years of coaches yell @ you to always keep the puck (i remeber getting yelled when I was like 8) on your stick when driving to the net. and he does that perfect in this goal

experience matters, compare kovalchuk's numbers from his rookie year to now, and he had heatley on his line, he's gotten better with every year, so

Quote:

is complete bs...lemieux didn't score 200 pts in his first year and neither did wayne. And as for Jagr, he left a hugely stacked team to go to a pos team for an extra 2 mil :fist: , and what is he earning now...

ovechkin has adapted to the league better cause he played the lock out year in the super league against nhlers, and kovalchuk is a pure sniper, typical russian forward

...and y all the crosby hating, he's the only one trying to do anything...that is if u actually seen any of his games
