Here's Mike Modano after the penalty filled game in which Steve Ott and Sean Avery were jawing with officials and fans:

"Tonight, it was idiotic and stupid,'' Stars center Mike Modano said when asked what the team identity was. ``It was one of the most embarrassing things I've seen. If that's what we're going for, then they need to find me an office job.''

"It was dumb penalties, dumb situations, that's kind of been the trend all season,'' Modano said. "There's no mental toughness. We're allowing the refs to get involved in the game with and spending more energy on them than the details of winning the game.''


It seems Sean Avery is ruining Dallas chemistry... I have rarely seen a captain so harshly speaking about teammates behavior.

I don't follow hockey, but...

How are my Blackhawks doing? :dunno:

6-3-3 and looking good. Patrick Sharp has been stellar so far. I only wish they'd go to Huet more often than Khabibulin. It's funny, they put Khabibulin on waivers, then he clears waivers, and returns to the starting job.
 
Morrow is their captain. Just thought you might like to know. Obviously Modano is a team leader anyway though and I agree with him. Avery sucks, he's a goon and he doesn't belong in the NHL.

They removed the *c* from Modano to give it to Morrow? Dang, i didnt know that. Does Modano have an *a* at least on his shirt?

Both are great leaders anyway. Morrow is the kind of guy everyone would like to have playing for his team :)

Yeah, two seasons ago. A lot of people were asking why, myself included. Modano does have an A. I guess Dallas just wanted to hand it over to a younger guy who could wear it well into the future rather than have an older guy wear it just until he retires, which should be soon in Modano's case.
 
Woohoo! Nick Wallin scores!

I don't care about the Canes, I'm just happy that game is over so I can watch the Canucks game. Goddamn TSN and their double-headers where the Leafs always play the first game at home where the games start at 4:30 PST and always goes to OT/SO, delaying our game. Thank Christ someone scored early in OT, plus the Leafs lost, always a bonus.

Lightning @ a Brodeur-less Devils today. if the Devils play like they played against Buffalo a couple days ago, they're dead.

Good. I'm glad that Sharp is doing well. Too bad about Habyboolin though. He's a good...defender guy? :dunno:

As you can see, I have no idea who those people are. :rolleyes:

The 'Bulin Wall is Chicago's goaltender. he won the Stanley Cup with my Bolts back in 2004 but consensus is, he never lived up to his expectations in Chicago

I'm not too familiar with hockey. I definitely don't love it, but I don't really hate it either. It's always been one of those "eh" kind of sports to me.

But, I've always liked the Blackhawks. Jeremy Roenick, Ed Belfour, Chris Chelios and who can forget...Bob Probert. Ahh, I used to fuck people up in NHL video games with them. The good old days.

Oh, I also like Mike Modano. Does he still play for the Stars, or even at all? He's my dude.

Yeah, he's still around. Argurably still Dallas' star player, too.
 
Bolts play the Devils tonight , I hope they'll take advantage of the fact that without Brodeur they don't have much of a team.:D

Canucks play the Coyotes today, should be a easy victory.

And I'm pulling for Columbus to beat Edmonton tonight.
 
that was ugly. once again our .44 magnum offense packed the punch of a .22

They should have a devastating offense but they are still one of the worst in the league. I really don't understand why. Mike Smith had his first so-so performance last night , I hope it's not going to happen too often.
