Versus sucked for that game. Those two in the booth didn't do any pre-game research, they barely knew about the players 'cept the superstars and their man crush Avery. Almost every time there was a scrum they'd cut away to the goalie or a coach. One time they had to cut away to the studio, OK I figured there was a highlight goal form the Bruins/Habs game, nope all they had to say was stay tuned for the intermision. The scoreboard bar is way too low w/ the black on top, waisting way too much screen.
I want MSG back on my Center Ice, not gonna get it on Wed though it will be on Versus again. Uggh.
Gee, thanks Lunchie. Thanks to you, every time I saw Avery on the ice tonight I was thinking about the Avery mustache ride to the cup. No matter though. No why? Cause John Madden is the man!!!

Like beyond watching it on TV a couple of times a week and just getting drunk?
They cant regulate every stick. players regularly use 3-4 sticks per game, or at least have that many ready every game. Plus, a blade isnt really quite as noticeable as a set of goalie pads. Thats about 60 sticks a game, mostly on a rack, sometimes zipping around the ice. Most games feature four goalies and only two on the ice. Slightly more noticeable, dont you think?
See, aside from the obvious differences (I'm smarter than you, less obnoxious. Probably better looking) I actually play hockey. A lot. Both out, and in goal. I know what can be done to goal pads, and what cant. I also know the regulations, since when I order custom gear, the NHL standard for blocker, catcher, and pad width, is standard in regards to size unless I specify differently.
What you're complaining about (and dont even realize it, which is pretty funny in and of itself) is the (at present, fully legal) thigh-rise Hank uses. You see, hank, despite being 6'1", probably only has an ATK (thats ankle-to-knee) of around 17"-17.5". This determines the actual pad size and where the knee wings are (the stuff where your knee falls when you go into butterfly). The basic formula is to double the ATK, so hank, if he were to buy a pad off the shelf, would pick a 34" or 35" pad. Thanks to NHL regulations simply saying in regards to pad length that they can be NO LONGER than 38", he adds 4"s to the top of his pads. Given that hes a butterfly goalie with superb leg quickness, it makes sense for him to have longer pads that are pretty stiff, and therefore nearly appear to be completely straight, vertically. Unlike a Chris Osgood that relies on a more flexible to close his 5hole, hank uses the extra, fully legal, thigh rise. Im 6'4" and my ATK is 19.25, I don't have any choice but to wear a 38" pad w/o extra thigh rise, unfortunately. Brodeur, not being a butterfly, or even a hybrid goalie, uses pads that are smaller and more comfortable so there is less restriction. I imagine with a small, lighter pad he feels more agile than in your standard, modern butterfly pad. It's about using what works for you.
If you need help understanding anything I just said, grab someone that's actually been on the ice for more than holding hands with their boyfriend. As for you (and your boyfriend)....
never denied complaining about it asserLeatherface. Simply said I wasn't using it as an excuse. I invite you to take a minute or two to stop congratulating yourself on how wonderful you are and actually look at one simple thing...I may not know all the league specifications on everything but I do know when I watch the games it's glaringly obvious how huge Lundquist's pads are when he takes off his helmet and his head looks ridiculous in proportion to his body. Did I claim to know for sure...no. I am simply voicing an opinion. And you come off as such a little girl when you try to put yourself over about how much you know simply because you play hockey. Do you know me? Do you have any idea what I know? NO...you don't. So go back down into yer mom's basement and try to get over your poor self opinion.
By the way nimrod, you do know that pads include more than just his goalie pads don't you? I mean, you are the expert on everything and yet simple comprehension just seems to keep getting by you.
p.s. stop projecting your self hating latent homosexuality on me please.
Have a nice day.

and again this doesn't constitute a violation of any NHL rule. It's just the opinion of some drunk fan.

Actually mom is moving into my basement shortly while she prepares to get a new house, so this statement in and of itself, is pretty funny.

Which is exactly why I mentioned his catching glove and blocker. I've actually put on goalie gear, many many times! I know what's required to play the position.

By wife do you mean the guy who wears the dress? And please...I am an alcoholic fan...not the standard drunken fan.
Gonna go out on a limb for tomorrows game...Listening leatherface?
Devils concentrate all of their shots on King Henry's glove hand high...
and, not only is Avery going to be watched so close that his game is going to be completely compromised, but I say he has a meltdown of epic proportions...
still gonna be close...but my boys...with their backs clearly against the wall...will show up and then some. Watch your back Gomez.

That dive when jagr came across was so unbelievably bad....
I watched a little of this today and I have to agree about the dive.
But, Leather, what in the hell is with "Lets Go Rangers" voice over the
loud speaker? I thought the Cartman "Lets Go Kings" was bad, but...
