Totally Boned by Toronto

jewels49 @jewels49 (1776) • United States 16 Jan 10

This time it wasn't the refs! He had his nose almost on the puck and called no goal. No matter what angle the guys in the booth showed it, 100% of that puck was not over the line. No one calling this game, for us or Dallas thinks...

tjhtommyj There already is, only one way to do things. The officials come together and collectively make a call on the ice (which in this case was goal). Then they go upstairs in which there must be a clear case to overturn the call on the ice (there wasn't) IF there...

tjhtommyj The refs getting together to make the call is what should happen. It's about getting the call right no matter what happens. Like anything in life though errors will continue to be made no matter the procedure you have in place. The ideal procedure is one that...

What a game!

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 12 Jan 10

I just saw a game that had 96 shots in regulation and yet needed a shootout! The Devils played the rangers in Ny and they finally won in a shootout!While the Caps- Lightning game had so many goals I lost track! It was 7-4...

tjhtommyj Dallas has been known for that over the years. The last three times the Stars have had made the playoffs they have gone to a third overtime at least 4 times. People complain about how long these games go and how they get boring, but I beg to differ. Every shot...

Well hockey camp officially started yesterday in out town. The family was so excited to watch the players practice. My 2 y/o was in awe when we got into the arena. We find our friends and then decided where to sit. Well, the only...

tjhtommyj The season's 10 games in and the kids in his sixth season, third full, in the NHL. Let's not call him the second coming of Roy just yet. But he is undoubtably the one of the top three ranked goaltenders in the league to this point with Ryan Miller and possibly...

In the long run, I believe that the Canucks-organization's decision to send Cody Hodgson back to Juniors is the right choice. No sense rushing a young player to the NHL where he would have more opportunities to fail than to...

tjhtommyj The emergency rule is very rare. It's used when the AHL affiliate can't send another player, whether it's a two-way contract issue, a travel issue, an injury issue, or a straight up pro-contract issue. There's a lot of ifs buts and what ifs so I won't get into...

tjhtommyj Favourite player = Vincent Lecavalier and I became pretty decent friends with Stamkos during his junior years so by default I am a Lightning fan. Should be an exciting year for them. With the improvements on D and the firepower upfront (Lecavalier, St. Louis,...

Who will be the number 1 draft pick in the NHL draft?

TremendousMachine @TremendousMachine (779) • Canada 15 Jun 09

Now that the playoffs are over, it's time for the NHL draft in a couple weeks. Will the number one pick be centre John Tavares or defenceman Victor Hedman? One's a sniper, the other a huge defenceman. New York Islanders have the...

tjhtommyj I think it's too early to tell. It's difficult to measure the success of a general manager on such a short term basis. It's not like a coach where immediate impact can be had. Sometimes he's handed a mess to fix before he can even put his own stamp on the...

tjhtommyj Okposo's debut at the end of the 08 season was one of the biggest hyped debut's in recent Islander memory. Not even DiPietro got this much buzz. They truly believe that this is their star of the future. The Islanders found themselves on a nice roll at the end...

Wings fans I need your help.

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 9 Jun 09

do you know how many Red Wings have been with the team through the 1997 season. In other words , how many have been with the team for all the present day Cups? I have Draper, Linstrom, Maltby. Was Ozzie with the team during the...

Game 7!!!

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 9 Jun 09

Okay Dru, I watched the game until the third period and the second Pens goal.I am not sure which Red Wings team will show up. I'll start game 7 but if it starts out badly, I'll leaving.Any one have any predictions? will it be...

3 responses

tjhtommyj They did look flat but that's because the Penguins got their match-ups. Staal was out against Zetterberg while Datsyuk and Zetts both had to deal with Scuderi all night. They were able to get Malkin and Crosby out against the third and fourth lines of Detroit...

The best game I didn't see!

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 6 Jun 09

Hello my name is Sarah and I am a scared rabbit! I admit it, I didn't see the Wings game tonight because I was afraid to. What little I saw of the wings in the last game, they looked tired.So when I was late tuning into NBC and...

tjhtommyj well, thanks to a bit of an odd schedule, you have 3 days to decide, haha. Unfortunately for the Pens that also means they have an extra day to dwell on game 5. I'm sure they'd rather throw it behind them and take to the ice tonight or tomorrow night as...

Red Wings Win!

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 28 May 09

This was one of the best games I have ever seen,Both teams equallymatched in intensitiy and toughness abd yet No Cheat Shots! Usually Iamso nervous that I would want the game to end the moment the Red Wings take the lead. But last...

tjhtommyj I think while Detroit has the depth, this Pittsburgh team is very different. They have more depth than they did last season, they have more heart and determinination and being this far before they know what to expect and what it takes. And with those...

tjhtommyj I'm actually very anti-Red Sox. I grew up a Yankee fan but after living in Toronto for five years now I'm very much a Jays fan. Still have a soft spot for those Yankees but if it ever came down to be between the two of them, it's Jays all the way. So when you...

Wings win in O.T.!!

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 19 May 09

please tell me you saw this game. Like game 1, it seemed like the teams were evenly matched.And like last time , the Hawks score first . but I wasn't worried, a second for me. the wings tie it up and then take the lead. The Hawks...

tjhtommyj They just slow down the game. They neautralize any and all of the Hawks energy by slowing the game down. It takes the Hawks out of their comfort zone and right into that slow disection that Detroit executes so well. The Hawks are just too young and...

I must confess, I didn't see all the Pens-Canes game

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 19 May 09

i started the game but I lost interest when the Pens were 2-0. I went girly, I saw The Bachelorette.I saw they won. Did I miss much/ Can the Canes still win this series?

1 response

tjhtommyj If game one was any indication, it may. Before the series began I was taking Pittsburgh in a quick series, because as they showed, when they need to turn things up a notch they do just that and now's as good a time as any. But the Canes stayed with them in...

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 17 May 09

Was it me or did the Wings- Hawks game have everything you wanted in a hockey game? It was a fast paced. The teams were evenly matched. It wasn't old vets who are slow playing young kids who are just out on the ice to have fun.I...

tjhtommyj I think Chicago will take a game at home but other than that it'll be all Detroit. A 5 game series where one, if any, of Detroit's wins are close.

No Walker suspension!

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 12 May 09

In the last game between The Canes and The Bruins , Walker Sucker punched Ward . Ward may have a broken bone in his face. I Knew when I saw the punch it would be a fine and a suspension.Now that he will play tomorrow , he will be...

Another game 7?

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 11 May 09

Oh my G-d! I can't believe it! the Caps tied it up. I didn't see the game, I was too nervous and I thought that The Pens would win. Now another game 7! I am still in shock. Did you see the game? whom do you think will win game 7?

tjhtommyj so, does washington shave their playoff beards after the second period now? what a hype buster this one turned out to be. One team showed up and the other crumbled under the pressure. I gotta say though - I didn't think I'd ever see Theodore back in net during...

tjhtommyj according to Elliot Friedman (sp?) of Hockey Night in Canada - Gonchar is a go tonight. That's a huge boost for the Penguins PP and moral for that matter - even if it is only the 10 minutes

tjhtommyj I don't think we will be seeing Sergei Gonchar tonight. He wants in there, it's game seven, season is on the line but after watching his morning skate it's hard to believe that person could make any sort of a difference in playing the game. IF he's in the...
