Off The Flippin Topic Thread

[Captain Iago]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that it says "Off the flippin topic thread" and not "Teenage girl drama thread". Maybe I should make one of those threads and then avoid it.

Good idea. It worked with Stalberg, for the most part

Haha. Don't even say the S word.

 

[DewsSox79]

Haha, the fact that you get a "thanks" from captserious says it all.

I have to give credit where credit is due, someone on the internet ( probably a 5 year old or maybe a teenage girl ) made that picture.

At least you are not taking credit for something you didn't put work into!

Way To Go!

Dew- one thing ... 'Being on Pace' actually is a stat these days ... just like face off win percentages done left handed while playing on the road with a right handed stick after getting towel whipped by Sid the Kid after having been interviewed by Pierre Maguire, but only on Tuesdays in months that have 30 days.


Er not to put too fine a point on things..

plus... nice graphic work but too literal to be a Picasso.

Hate the Canucks, but their fans say some pretty ridiculous shit on their official forums...
Question a Canucks fan asked:

Let's go back in time for a moment. It's game seven versus Chicago. As you all know, the 40th season of the Vancouver Canucks was their best season by far. They re-wrote the franchise record books. They're facing their arch-nemesis, the team that knocked them out the previous two years in the playoffs. They looked so good in the first three games.

And of course, the next three were a different story.

I'm sure their heads were filled with hidden doubts that they would never admit to aloud. Still, they opened the scoring and tried to hang on for the rest of the game. They almost made it, only to have Jonathan Toews score shorthanded with little over a minute left. The doubts came rushing back.

All those were forgotten several minutes later when Burrows "slayed the dragon."

But what if he hadn't?

What if, say, Patrick Sharp had scored on Burrows' penalty earlier in overtime? Or someone else that we hate equally had scored for Chicago? It would have been lauded as the most epic collapse in the history of the game. As a President's trophy winner, getting out in the first round is already embarrassing, but losing to your arch-nemesis, especially after being up 3-0 in the series, would be a thousand times worse. So what I want to know is; what would have taken place had the Canucks lost to Chicago in game 7? Would Luongo have been traded? Waived? What would happen to the Sedins? Would Alain Vigneault keep his job?

And another thing: What would you have done? Angrily renounced your Canuck-fan-ism? Burned your jersey? Become a more bitter, cynical fan? Or remain reluctantly optimistic?

What if Burrows hadn't slayed the dragon?

Response from another fan:

What if my Aunt had a penis?

Well then she'd be my Uncle.

I don't get your point.

Also, them comparing Kesler to Toews - really isn't far fetched as I think they are in the same class of players with their style and point production. In the end I think I can make a better argument for Toews (mostly because of age and match-ups the two face) but Kesler is a very solid player.

 

[icehogfan08]

Toews won a national vote over many guys and won, It's pretty obvious who would be chosen.

What do you mean? Won a national vote in what?

I would take Toews in the end, but it is closer than people seem to be making it. Kesler won the Selke last year over Toews fair and square, he deserved that award - even though it was a closer one than the votes indicated, atleast to me.

Tsn did a poll, and Toews won

Yea, but Kesler was not included in that poll.

It was for 25 and under - Kesler was 26 at the time.

I still take Toews over Kesler

I'm not disputing that. A post ago I just said "I would take Toews in the end, but it is closer than people seem to be making it. Kesler won the Selke last year over Toews fair and square, he deserved that award - even though it was a closer one than the votes indicated, atleast to me."

I think it is ridiculous though for people to not even think about it because it is a lot closer than people are making it seem. Both plays are cut from the same mold when talking about the type of game they play and how high of a level they play it at.

Kesler has played with brutal linemates compared to Toews, but Toews (Atleast in the past) has always had the other team's top line against him - while Kesler hasn't because of the Sedins line. Toews is younger and does have more championships to his name, but I still consider Kesler a winner and he does anything to help his team win - both defensively and offensively.

Well, the thread about it got closed out - and I thought it was worth while to discuss.
