That shot against CBJ was just absurd.
- johndewar

It really was. I can't even imagine he thought he could score. Just that he'd put it in play and hope for a rebound or something.

who the (frank) picked Patrick Sharp as the 3rd star?

This...

My take earlier this year was they didn't need big changes, just patience as they had new faces to blend into the lineup along with young, developing players that needed to find that chemistry and confidence to get them to the next level. The team had no cohesiveness and no identity.

You can see how they have forged forward in their progress and are establishing themselves as a rising force to be reckoned with, due in no small part to one Claude Giroux. A young captain who was maligned by many earlier in the season after the slow start, a man who who was told he wasn't good enough for Team Canada, a man who is silencing all doubters with his exceptional display of heart, grit, talent and determination.

At 1-7 who goes out on this kind of limb?




Claude motherfranking Giroux does, bytch!


Being able to back up that kind of statement is quite impressive for a young captain. G is on the road to proving himself to be a worthy leader and has a good supporting cast of emergent young players to fight with him in the pursuit of the ultimate prize. It may not happen this year, but from what I see, it should happen at least once during the G era.

canada sucks for leaving him off the team!

There is also that ridiculous shoutout goal (against the leafs). Does anyone have a gif of that??

I mean, I guess they didn't need him to win, but it was an injustice. G has faced that kind of thing his whole life. Told he was too small, not good enough (going undrafted in Jrs etc.). He always seems to prove his doubters wrong. Things happen for a reason, and honestly, it couldn't have worked out better for the Flyers. The snub only seemed to light a fire under G's a$$ and he channeled that emotional energy in a positive way for his team...contrast that with Marty St. Louis who seemed to kind of spiral into a strange, despondent, negative space, ultimately feeling alienated enough to demand a trade from his long time team to another. Unreal. To be fair, it's probably different when your GM is on the selection committee, but still.

CHI has some big problems with their third D pair, and as bad as Brookbank is, Rundblad can't even get on the ice ahead of him.

and Homer gets killed for picking up Amac and not going for Rundblad?

some crazy poop right there

This is a great post and deserves a (frank)ing trophy.

wasn't he conversated aboat recently?

If you've ever wanted to know what it feels like to have a team that can outplay the Blackhawks by a solid margin, this is it right here. If you forgot what it feels like to have a player in the top 5 scoring leaders, this is it. If you wonder what it would be like to have a teenager that spends his weekends making Crosby his female dog, and his week days making Toews wish he had been a history teacher instead, this is it.
