Say what you want about Steve Downie, but taking a wallop like this, and coming back 20 minutes later for this is about all you can ask from a kid his age ( Read more... )

He's tough, I just wish he were a tad more disciplined. Everyone loves a big hit, but there's a difference between an Orpik and a Marchment. Then again, Stevens was an even bigger asshole when he started out, and it took him a number of years to calm down.

We're tied in points, but the Devils have more wins; I thought that was supposed to be the first tie-breaker?

He'll calm down. I like that he's feisty, though. Most of us down here can appreciate a bit of a mean streak as long as you're not a total douche about it.

Flyers have a game in hand on the Devils; that gives them a superior points-per-game percentage, which is actually the first tie-breaker.

You know, I always thought that should have been the factor, but I could have sworn I've seen ties in the standings in the past where a team with more games played and more wins has been ranked higher. Then again I think I've seen days where the standings on nhl.com and tsn are different, so...

Canadian teams must rank above American teams, per TSN. I think Don Cherry is their webmaster.

3 words:

SCORCHED.

EARTH.

HOCKEY.

I didn't know Ron Artest played multiple sports? Downie looks really small, good to see him fighting a guy twice his size. *cough* HE'S A WRECKIN MACHINE!

Let me know when you can give me tickets to a Flyers games negress, I've still never been to one.

Pretty sure the next set of tickets is on you, buddy.

The comments on the Laraque hit video are pretty disgusting, by which I mean, "typical of other morons discussing the Flyers." Here's an instant classic:

"i dunno, to me, it looked like downie kinda dove in, laraque barely touched him. regardless, im happy it happened to the fucking peice of shit, and fuck they flyers, theyre out first round, watch and see"

Because the first thing they teach you in pee-wee hockey is, if you see another guy coming, DIVE INTO THE BOARDS HEAD FIRST.
