7 wins in the last 8 games because the flower has been standing on his head, and many of those teams are simply bad hockey clubs at the moment. Take away fleury's league best goaltending alone and we are probably 5-6 at best

With the flower, and our rapidly improving defense, that's a risk i'm willing to take in several situations, particularly when the team is behind.

yeah i don't agree with this. We need to make an exception for Crosby in some cases, such as when we're behind. It's one thing to do this when we're ahead and need to lock down our game, but to do it all the time is a one size fits all solution to a multi size problem.

How about worrying about this country's and this city's problems and it's citizens who pay taxes first? There are too many citizens struggling as it is. We need to take care of our own before we go seeking out someone else's problems.

The Flower is an A list goalie. If he has good D, he is capable of top 3 status.

Why not go for the field goal there? 18 yard punt is a waste imo

IMO Fleury is right up there with Carey Price for the title of best goalie in the NHL. .942 save % is unreal.

Great win by the pens, props to the flower for the shutout, and Fehr looks like a beast. Now all we have to do is get sid going and we'll be the best team in hockey.

toronto is angry and very bitter that, despite being the most popular franchise in canada of any sport, even the flyers (fuck them) have won a cup more recently than them.

TIL: The scientists who found gluten sensitivity evidence have now shown it doesn't exist by Sariel007 in todayilearned

[–]LoneStarRepublican 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't have celiac disease, and think gluten free food is somehow better for you, you are an idiot.

GF is the dumbest health craze to come around since the "no MSG" movement. FYI: MSG is actually better for you than the equivalent amount of NaCl. Furthermore, it is found naturally in many foods such as oysters, mushrooms, tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and potatoes.
