I can certainly think of a lot of other things to say about Edmonton, its people, and its hockey team other than to make up statements attributed to their PPV color commentator whose name I can't even recall.

Now be a man and take me up on the bet, since you're so sure I made it up.

You make up all sorts of **** whenever you troll. Or you take a kernel of fact and fill a corn field with bullshit out of it. Such as in this case, when a discussion of the best becomes 'he's the best'.

As far as bets... I make friendly bets. There is nothing freindly between us, so...

Asher · November 30, 2006, 23:16

Oh, be a man about it.

You're absolutely convinced I made it up to the point that you're calling bullshit. I know for a fact it was said. So, let's make the bet.

BACK IT UP!

You're the one cultivating sprouts, sunshine.

I take your concession and implied apology. Thanks for being a gentleman.

Good night.

notyoueither · November 30, 2006, 23:22

A very active imagination.

Ninot · November 30, 2006, 23:42

So... Anaheim won again, how about that?

notyoueither · November 30, 2006, 23:47

Yeah, they are pretty good so far.

I liked the one comment by someone on TSN. Something to the effect that every other GM in the Western Conference should give Lowe a solid kick in the balls.

did I shot myself in the foot when I played Phaneuf instead of Campbell

notyoueither · December 2, 2006, 21:25

Oh, man. I don't think I've ever heard Rod Phillips so low. The Oilers increased the suckage stat greatly tonight.

Just to make sure this isn't lost

Don't worry. Won't be forgotten, although I got to laugh at my great timing -- I make the bet and then the Flames go on a winning streak.

But no worries, the Flames will flicker out.

Wish I had more time to teach you folks about hockey, but I've been re-assigned to a different section and the work load is crazy. Plus, I'm dealing with some family stuff. I barely have time to keep my team active.

I will say this. You do stick to your guns.

I'll stick to mine as well. I actually like Calgary to win the Northwest division

wow a 4-0 loss to one of the worst teams in the league!!! I guess we shouldn't bw shocked since Columbus played close with both Calgary and Vancouver so maybe they were due some luck

and didn't Smyth break something?

Flubber · December 3, 2006, 01:47

Oh and Toronto fans

Isn't is disappointing when you just blow a 2 goal lead against an arch-rival

and Ottawa !!!!!!! I knew they would come along

Asher · December 3, 2006, 10:22

Well, just as I predicted.

Rollie the old man is being played too much and can't handle it. The overwhelming mediocrity of the Oilers offense can't handle the pressure of a losing streak.

We've got ourselves a streaking team, boys.

Asher · December 3, 2006, 10:29

Smyth fractured his right thumb and is out indefinitely.

Ninot · December 3, 2006, 10:39

Saku Koivu > The Maple Leafs, including their entire "vaunted" history.

Asher · December 3, 2006, 10:44

'twas a good night for hockey, eh Ninot?

Ninot · December 3, 2006, 10:47

Hellz Yeah

I missed the game though

But... yeah, Hellz Yeah

Asher · December 3, 2006, 10:52

Reading around on the 'net, and Oil fans seem to think Rob Schremp is going to be called up and be the solution to all their problems.

I guess they missed his stats this year being middle-of-the-road and his complete lack of teamplay ability...

Kontiki · December 3, 2006, 11:55

Looks like #1 is mine for the taking....

notyoueither · December 3, 2006, 15:42

Some people are imagining Schremp as a superstar from day 1. There have been calls to keep him up, and then to bring him up since the preseason.

Management are fairly well committed to bringing Schremp along by having him get what he can out of the minors.

Meanwhile, Mikhnov has been called up.

I went to Yahoo and for some reason thought it was KH that posted the above message and wondered how he thought he was going to pass me this week......then I looked at Kontiki's record this week and realized my error! Ooops!

With my only player tonight being Yashin who is out (though still listed as active on Yahoo

) I suspect you are free and clear into 1st

........but not for long!!

Smyth broke his thumb, and Reasoner and Stoll got banged up (but came back to finish the game).

It's going to be an interesting 3 to 6 weeks.

Sparrowhawk · December 4, 2006, 01:12

While I am glad they updated it........

The following player statistical changes were made on Sunday December 3, 2006.

Date Player Action Owner Stat Change
Nov 28 Alex Auld (Fla - G) Georgia Giants SHO 1

It means my 4-4 week against the Georgia Giants has become a 3-4-1 loss!

Yeah. We both had push weeks.

KrazyHorse · December 4, 2006, 01:22

Or not. I didn't realise they were still working on the Auld thing...

Asher · December 4, 2006, 08:23

Roloson's a douche. After all of his drama queen antics he puts on if somebody, for instance, shoots on goal at the buzzer you'd think he'd have some high moral standing or something.

Roloson’s play was dirty, Nash says

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

DENVER — Rick Nash has made his NHL living in close proximity to the opposing goal, so it’s nothing new for the Blue Jackets left winger to draw the ire of goaltenders who want to keep him at a distance.

Edmonton goaltender Dwayne Roloson took the tactic to a new low Saturday, when he whacked Nash between the legs early in the Blue Jackets’ 4-0 win in Rexall Place.

"I was in a lot of pain," Nash said. "That’s a dirty, dirty move. He hit someone where it hurts the most.

"That’s the first time that’s ever happened to me. I’ve been cracked in the back of the legs or in the back. That’s bad enough. But it’s a dirty move, spearing somebody between the legs. It’s unbelievable to me that he would do that."

Nash dropped his stick and fell to the ice, curling up in agony before play was stopped.

Roloson was called for slashing, giving the Blue Jackets, who already were on a power play, a two-man advantage for 57 seconds.

They didn’t cash in right away, but Anson Carter scored to give the Jackets a 3-0 lead while Roloson’s penalty was still in effect.

"It was definitely worth it," said Nash, who was asked if the NHL should fine or suspend Roloson.

"It’s a dirty move. I’ll say that and leave it in their hands."
