No, but I did call him an old man, and he laughed, and then burned me with a sick move for a goal, flipped me the puck out of the net and said "look'n for this, KID!" Priceless. Went to lunch with him too. Great stories about the old NHL days. If I can get my scanner to work I'll post a pic of us together on the ice. It was about 20 years ago.Go BOLTS!

I think, the Sharks-Canucks series is going to be very physical. I don't believe, it will be anything like the Wings-Sharks series. I don't see this series going more than 5 games. I can see Vancouver winning the series. I'm by no means, a Canucks fan, either. The Way the League is today, it's anybody's guess who is going to win a game. Bettman brought parity to the NHL. Stevie Y, has done pretty good for his first time as GM. The Lightning have sure been a big surprise. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masterrig 1 #436 May 18, 2011 That's a bit of a surprise. Since the Wings were eliminated, I've lost interest. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grimmie 173 #437 May 19, 2011 I hear crickets chirping....hey Sharkies, now what? That was a poorly played game by the Sharks, with some bush league tactics. Not one Shark put a good hit on a Canuck all evening. The Sedin sisters had their way in the offensive zone. I hope the boys bought Niemi breakfast, it should have been 12-3. Ya think Eager has a slash coming from Luongo? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murrays 0 #438 May 19, 2011 Sharks were completely outplayed. I sure expected better from them. Maybe Chuck is right...lucky to go 5 games! Marleau shouldn't drop the gloves. He got in one shot on Bieksa before Bieksa got his visor/helmet off and then just ate shots. It was pathetic.-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #439 May 19, 2011 It seems, the Sharks get real 'physical' when things don't go their way. If, they can't beat 'em honest, beat 'em down. The whole series is going to be on the 'ugly' side. The Canucks are going to the finals. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #440 May 19, 2011 With the penalties being 13 - 7 in favor of the Sharks, last night, this tells me something... the Sharks are already nervous. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LongWayToFall 0 #441 May 20, 2011 I think they needed to step it up in the pain delivery department. I agree, they played like trash. Tomorrow will be a new day, and the Sharks will start their 4 game streak. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #442 May 20, 2011 I guess, when one lacks true skill... get tough. That about sums-up the Sharks. I think, the Canucks got 'em on the run. I don't see them running a streak. They've already lost control. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pbwing 0 #443 May 21, 2011 One thing is for sure, last years and this years playoffs have shown that there's no such thing as a sure thing... That Bruins/Bolts game last night was pretty good. Chara was a machine. What did Lecavalier get? 5 shots on goal? If Chara is on the ice each time that top line from Tampa is out there, they are going to have to rely on their second and third line a lot for scoring. Chara wasn't great in the previous game. Seindenberg was probably worse. But Chara has this ability to evaluate what he's doing wrong and elevate his game. I'm glad Julien is not listening to the idiot commentators. Putting Seguin out at every chance is fine when you have a 4 goal lead. He wasn't playing on the power play as much yesterday in a tight scoring game. If they keep getting the coaching and the play out of their top 2 offence and defensive lines, they might be hard to beat... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #444 May 21, 2011 Chara is a very large, physical presence on the ice with the ability to be a one man wrecking crew. He's good, all around. He can really make a difference in the game. During the regular season, I have 'Center Ice' but like everyone else, during the play-offs, I have to put-up with the same idiot announcers. During the Red Wings series, there was one VS announcer who I swear, purposly mis-pronounced certain Wings players names. He constantly called 'Kronwall' 'Corn ball' and so-on. Of course, we get the same announcers when NBC shows the games. I can't stand those guys. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grimmie 173 #445 May 21, 2011 Another fun game to watch this afternoon. Is it just me or is the game being played more wide open inthis year's playoffs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #446 May 22, 2011 Seems like, during the play-offs, the NHL gets about the same attitude as NASCAR... 'Have at it boys!'. Calling mostly the more serious, offensive penalties. I'll say one thing... Boston and Tampa Bay are making a series of it! Vancouver has two of their more important players out, due to injuries. I just knew, that would be a very 'physical' game. I guess, 'physical' is the PC term for 'goonish'. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murrays 0 #447 May 24, 2011 Good game last night Boston-Tampa. Did you guys catch the save Thomas made on Downie at about 9 minutes in the third? He had to coma all the way across the goal, Downie had half a net and Thomas reached over with his stick and knocked the puck out of the air. Unbelievable! Tonight we'll see if the Sharks can stay out of the box and get a road win to stay alive.-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #448 May 24, 2011 No, I missed the game. This is the time when goalies make those un-believable saves. The Sharks are in desparation mode. I see Vancouver slamming the door on the Sharks tonight. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
