Ozzy

We embark on Round 2 of this very special journey today, gang!! Let's piss in their fucking Cheerios, and beat the snot out of these paper punks! Trivia is: a massive beat down of epic proportion!!

I have to admit, I laughed my ass off last night watching the Leafs lose this one. OT losses in Game 7's are downright painful, and I just can't wait to hear from all the "Bissonette's" of the world after yet another 1st round ouster! Listen...I'm no Bruins fan, and they're most likely going down in 5 against a really tough Florida team, but last night's loss was just lovely to watch. Go Leafs Go!!! LOL

Yup...this one's a genuine lock....Tocchet all the way.

You're going to have to come to grips with the a couple of things here, Big Ed; 1. Devils fans are "special". 2. They're also not really "fans"...most are bandwagon type....basically they're fucking idiots. LOL 3. It's hard to be #3 in the NY market...and that's behind the Islanders...that's a whole 'nother story...but you get where I'm going here 4....and most importantly...you think they're bad now? Wait 'til we win the Cup this year!!! Watch their faces then! ...matter of fact, I'd take a picture! Pete always has a great handle on this stuff. The above speaks volumes!!

Is it Sunday yet???? Jesus!!! Feels like we went through an entire off season already!! LOL

...Like, this just happened last night!!

I don't even think Brindy could save the Devils!

I'll take the over!

There's also a rule where you cannot touch the puck with your hands upon the drop of the puck. It's actually a 2 minute penalty for a "Faceoff violation". I think I saw that once this season.

I'm taking a stab, Philly...but I think what could be, is that if a team needed a line change badly, and to get a little bit of extra breather, they'd have a guy take the draw and get tossed for a few extra seconds of a rest.

Answers: 1. The linesman dropping the puck makes the call. The "why" part is a few reasons; think like a "false start" in football, for the most part. But the visiting team has to put his stick on the ice first, followed by the home team. Both have to come to a stop and wait for the drop. Both must have their skates square and even. All their teammates must be on the correct side of the circle and motionless. 2. They are lenient and not consistent with that call. Sometimes they call icing and other times they let it slide...nothing new under the sun with that call. It's been like that for eons! 3. Yes...actually Round 2 can't start until the teams clinch their Round 1 series anyway. Best of 5 went away when the NHL figured out they make more $$$ on more games played. I remember 2 out of 3, then 3 out of 5, before the last 2 rounds were 4 out of 7. 4. Probably not anymore, Big Guy. The days of beating a goalie that can see a puck from over 20 feet out is really a rarity these days. Back in the day, the goalie pads, and equipment was smaller...as were most of the goalies. Now you have goalies in there that are 6' 7" and take up 1/2 of the net. They are "better" in a sense, that the training, knowledge and scouting is much improved from the old days of Gump, Eddie and Rogie. 5. They can.... 6. They will... 7. They are... 8. It is...
