caroljane Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 Carol:Blackhawks, or, the Kings, not sure which yet.The Torquemada Tortorelli ain't going nowhere according to ownership.A...So much for that rumor...Tortorelli just got fired!The Holy Hockey Puck God's just scored for the fans!Yum!The once smooth now cracked and crusty surface - the delicious melt inside - can't wait.He deserves it, for being a coach who flippantly trashed his players, and whose players ultimately did not want to play for him.

caroljane Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 Oh Mr Gaede, Mr Gaede., . Such unjust and discreditable feelings are not raised in you through any defect in your own character, but from the folly, nay the positive evil, of those who ought to guide for the best, but through avarice and blind ambition have set out everything to bring the worst. In thrusting a northeastern game upon the southwest, the loathsome fleabrains of the NHL have, not amongst the least of their crimes, rendered irrational, partial and unsteady a man whose qualities ought otherwise to render him reasonable, liberal and respectable. CarolYeah, still on the Austen. Halfway through Northanger Abbey again. Isabella Thorpe is a real nascent Mrs Elton isn't she? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caroljane Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 I will bet it goes all the way to 7. But as to the winner I can't choose, finals are so uniquely unpredictable. I will say Bruins on a dice roll. At least my poor Leafs will have the comfort of having done better against them than anybody else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caroljane Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 What an opener!Triple overtime in a Clash of Titans... tiny Shaw getting in the face, at least the chest, of man-mountain Chara..heroic goaltending...brilliant altogether.I can hear Lord S beating appreciation on the sides of his stately mausoleum.

caroljane Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Following the recent heroics of Boston's Campbell, playing two shifts with a broken leg, one of the hockey sites did a roundup of the most horrific on-ice injuries survived by NHLers past and present, players contributing their anecdotes and members voting on the most notable. A real gorefest! Here is the winner, the simple stoic testament of an ex-Dallas Star:"I had Sean Avery on my team." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caroljane Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Shutout Boston! At home, of course. Still I have hopes of seeing |Rask throw a tantrum sometime before the series ends.And Zdeno Chara is just a freak of nature. Just look at him. 7 foot in his skates. I have met a lot of Slovakians, and I tell you, if he was not adopted from some other planet,he was a test tube baby, possibly genetically crossed with some sort of water plant.Great play. I look forward to the increasing desperation, which I predict will let Chicago tie it up again next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caroljane Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 This is where coaches tear out their hair if they have any, on-air broadcasters forget to analyze and just roll around enjoying themselves, and team owners actually dare to go out and buy new packs of gum.

caroljane Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 My God, the Calgary floodwaters have reached the luxury boxes at the Saddledome, 10 tiers up -- what if the Flames had made it to the Cup final (as if,insert joke here)--- I suppose they would have used the Jets rink or maybe Vancouver - yikes. My son is still stuck there as of now, he has been sending reports to his station in Barrie. Back to important things, it is best of 3 now. They are taking away Crawford's oven mitts so he should have a better game tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caroljane Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Tortorella is going to Vancouver???? He is the worst fit for that city I can possibly think of. The NY sports media were fawning on him, compared to what the Canucks crowd will do if he carries on with the arrogance. Hockey is the only game in town there.

Very well played, end to end skating, pretty clean and few stoppages.Oh, yes. No such thing as a non-essential hit, and no diving. If a guy goes down and bleeds a few minutes onto the ice,like Shaw did, either he's dead or he gets up and keeps playing, and everybody knows that. The balance between the painkillers and the adrenalin must be terrifying to the team docs. Some players will not take painkillers because they believe they slow them down.

caroljane Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Just listened to an interview with Tortorella as the new Canucks coach. I did enjoy his Boston/Yankee/street thug accent and how he says "excape" and "true" for through. He said that getting the heave from NY made him think twice about himself as a person and as a coach. Then he got the job offer from Van and his third thought was "I'm the best just like I already knew!" (I made up that last part). It does seem to have penetrated his brain that in Vancouver there is only one major league sports team whereas in NY there are four,and that he will get more media attention and comment than formerly. But he apparently intends to maintain residence in New |York, so I guess he will be able to get home often and excape the nuisance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
