Ok so maybe I was hoping to hard meant none for Canada. Whatever, either way the laffs scored on their own net, panuf and bernie are terrible and their going to lose another....all good in my books!

Did Panuf just score on his own net again? And that folks, is the laffs have no players in the Olympics Bwahaha...

I think Price has reached his top level and it is now behind him, at least with the habs. The Sens pounded not only Price, but the team as a whole. Awful, is a matter of opinion, your opinion! Based on the fact you have been rooting for a laffable team that has no excuse for the last 48 years performance, your opinion, and ability to recognize talent means nothing is completely dismissed! Now go and look at the Keon and Pulford posters in your room to make yourself feel better!

I think Subban is a big mistake, he's a showboater who lets his emotions drive his play. Watched the game last night and Subban tried to be a one man show, until he started running into his own players. So what's he going to be? A 7th or 8th guy who plays under 7 min a game? That will piss him off and he'll be a distraction to the rest. Let him mature a few years, then try him. Right now, he's too selfish, too unpredictable and a hot head who takes too many penalties.

Awesome, exactly what I was thinking. Great job ya did too! I have a couple pcs of left over aluminum from when I rebuilt my transom, they will work perfect!

All righty then!

I just bought a tow bar for my frabill hut and a couple folks have said they had front end damage to their huts from towing over uneven ground and impact with ice or debris. Is this a common thing? Has anyone installed a "skid plate" on the front of their hut for protection? I was thinking of custom fitting an aluminum plate to the initial point of contact but didn't really want more hole in it.

Yes sir!

I agree! except for the laff stuff, jk!

Worth it? Best thing for kids, period. I wouldn't change a thing, the people they have become because of involvement in hockey is immeasurable! Friendship, teamwork, respect, commitment, dedication, social, all amazing! Best thing for the parents as well, proud hockey parents for sure.

My point is Bill, many cannot afford it and the potential talent base is lost in inflated costs. I'm not talking about my kids, I'm talking about the majority who CAN'T afford it. I would have hoped the context of my comment would have been read with an open mind! Never mind, You simply chose to disagree. Fair enough!

Why would I keep my kids in house league when they clearly have the skills and desire to play at a higher level? Am I supposed to hold them back so they don't have an opportunity to get even better and they come to dislike the game? To be that one or two kids on the ice all the other parents hate because they clearly are not playing at their level. I would love to see my kids with a scholarship or play for the country, who wouldn't? But to not have that opportunity because of inflated costs is just wrong on every level to me. My kids or someone elses. Fortunately my wife and I are able to put our kids in hockey for as long as we have and at the levels they deserve to be at. I consider us some of the more fortunate.

I did not and would never "compare it to war" Please read more carefully!!! My respect for the military is beyond measure.

Predictable response from a laff fan! And no, I don't expect them to win every time. Just to show better than they did. Did you even read the post Bill? Do you contest every point I made? Sheese!!!

So the Canadian Juniors fell to disgrace again. Here's my take on why! Minor hockey is too expensive in Canada and only the well off can afford to put their kids in it. This is eliminating a huge population from ever being able to have a chance. This gets worse with the higher level the kid plays, I know, I've had 2 in competitive for years and now my youngest is playing Midget AA (the highest level she can play) and the fees are insane. When a family has to pay in excess of $10,000 and as much as $15,000 for 2 kids to play hockey, that fact alone rules hockey for many families. Bring down the cost and have more government programs for the kids, other countries do this and it works. Stop opening the door to out of country players for Junior hockey, period! It's taking spots and development away from Canadian kids. Let alone the money put out to bring these kids over. Developing foreign players to compete against you????? In war time, this would be treason!! Sutter did it wrong. By only bringing 26 kids to camp and cutting 2, essentially they told the kids you don't have to compete for this position. So the silver spoon, rich parent kids got coddled again. No compete attitude was instilled in them for this tournament. Sad! Smarten up Canada! We have been losing for too long!

It's because we are their "retarded cousin to the North" Get used to it, in the eyes of the US of A, they are the best, the rest suck!

Dunno, maybe you can add that to darts, synchronized swimming and UFC when your flipping away from the brutality... Or cricket or bowling, lol

woooooooooohhhhhhoooooooooooo,,,,,bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Sens Win their 4th in a row and 5 of the last 6 How did the laffs do??????? Classic meltdown!!! The Rangers are my 11th favorite team lol bwahahahahahahahaha

Stevens was a star goon not just a goon, and |Lindros skated with his head down all the time, except when he was gooning someone lol

No, I think the stars should be treated just like everyone else. That means they are not treated as targets by goons and extra effort is made to knock them off their game or out of the game. Guys who can hardly play the game should not be chasing stars around solely targeting them with dirty, illegal hits. Any way you look at the hit on Crosby during the classic game it was a hit to the head, the guy can deny it all he wants but it looked like a deliberate attempt to injure.

I call them cold shots, sounds like a gunshot in the night. Just a very loud bang and then usually I get sent to see who's outside lol

I almost agree 100%, when the stars are getting hammered through illegal hits and missing games, the game suffers. Ticket sales suffer and the fans don't see their favorite players. It's a lose lose. That said, there has to be a happy medium. With respect to the after game suspensions, it's sort of kinda acting as a deterrent to the offenders, thee league just has to be consistent and enforce it equally. Then the players will get the message.

Point taken on the Flyers! Imagine a team like that in the league now? lol

Exactly, I've always said the laffs were a bunch of hacks, dirty players....remember tucker, domi, etc. Name one they didn't deserve. Clearly Lupul acted out of anger, targeted the neck(primary point of impact), injured the guy and gets a slap on the wrist even though he's a repeat offender. The league wants to stop this stuff yet they don't act on a primary example of exactly what they want to get out of the game. No consistency, no wonder they can't make progress with the punishment.

Awesome, nice fish!
