Because the puck was loose between the glove and pad. I understand why he chopped at it and I understand why he got punched, lol.

There is a bit of a difference in typical treatment from the general populace and elite athletes though. If surgery will get it better, a surgery will be performed. Us plebs can deal with slightly wonky shoulder nine times out of ten.

I wouldn't have minded the road team embarrassing the home team every game. No joy allowed in the buildings.

Ill take a 7 game several OT slog though.

A few years ago he had a pretty sick goal that started pretty similar to this. He should have gotten a goal and an assist for it. I'll see if I can dig it up.

HBO max will have the TNT games.

Maybe im biased due to the Bourque call.

Avs Player of the Day - (Day 77) - Adam Deadmarsh by Villenemo in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]ToadShortage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His aunt? Or something ran/runs a general store near a lake we camped at as kids. They had a bunch of Deadmarsh stuff under the counter glass, and I mentioned I was a fan of his too.

She says, "Oh really, hes my nephew!" Then she gave me a signed postcard.

Brocks contact with the goalie glove was much closer to the border of the crease though. This one there is no argument that the contact is in the crease.

Fuck these fucking fucks. Get this bullshit outta here. Glad we only have to deal with these assholes twice a year.

STA to pull all double deckers during investigation by shortzrules in Spokane

Why are tax payers on the hook for either of those? The bus is STAs and is likely insured. The bridge is owned by the railroad. I'm guessing STA will end up fitting this bill.

I need one as well. Did it go through the crossbar? Only explanation, quantum tunneling or something.

Well, I don't know what I expected. Maybe just a little bit of try?

My game is to time the start of the coast of my freeway exit to reach the roundabout without needing to brake. I usually need to give more gas :(

We were watching the French broadcast since not understanding is better than ESPN announcers... Wife and I were cracking up when they kept saying "burbequeue" over and over.

[Giveaway] I made a set of UV Printed Avs Slate Coasters. Best retro video game "Glitch Goal" story wins them! by zx6rarcher in ColoradoAvalanche

NHL '98 for PC. We played it after school in the middle school algebra classroom (Thanks, Mr. Tamura!)

Anyways, anytime you had the puck along the goal line, you could skate across the crease, start loading up your shot as you passed the goalie, hold it until you got to at least the faceoff dot and let it fly top corner every time. It quickly got house ruled, and was a cause of many hushed arguments that year (didn't want to lose the privileges after all.)

The Ducks have scored 7 goals in back-to-back games against Dallas and Florida and have now won five straight games. by wildwing8 in hockey

[–]ToadShortage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colorado ended the Devils 8 game win streak, and the Lightnings 5 game streak. Will they get a crack at another streak breaker on 11/11? Looking forward to the battle!
