I avoid wearing ties at all costs, but I was taught the tip of your tie should come just below the top of your pants.

Wonder how many fights there'll be in the stands at Rogers Arena?

I see no holding there.

You know what's up! But an inch above? That's a man who can't tie his tie properly, not a child's tie.
I mean, you'd think a guy who's been tying ties for decades would know how to do it, but apparently not.

Sabres with a late push...Cody Hodgson beats Oduya 1 on 1 to set up Drew Stafford...Psysk gets the other assist 2-1 'Hawks with 4 minutes to go...Sabres still buzzing Crawford.

No way that's a penalty.

Selfish play by a guy overhandling the puck under back pressure.

I agree in a sense - watching the game this morning all I could keep thinking is how poor the puck support on the Oilers is - everytime the puck handler has it the rest of his teammates seem to make a b-line for the net or where they think the best place to score for them would be - usually not in a place where he has something to do with it. Same reason why RNH was left alone there - everyone just running around trying to figure out the best place for them to be without thinking about getting in a place so RNH could make a play.

All it takes to make them wilt is a bit of physical play and puck-handler pressure to break their "system".

Wow Cory sarich +8 for the avs this season.

Also : oilers suck

[thefoss1957]

Sabres were game right to the end...but, missed too many open chances...'Hawks barely hold on, but a 2-1 win in regulation.

[FurnaceFace]

Good lord the Blues were all over The Rags for the last 6 mins of the game. Complete and utter domination after The Rags get it close.

[strombad]

Sabres looked decent during the third, tougher than expected, but Hawks pull it out 2-1.

I don't know why, I know it's a LITTLE bit silly, but I always cringe whenever the puck comes near Crawford, the same way I do when the puck goes near McDonald. Crawford is obviously miles ahead, but god, he's shakey sometimes.

Funny thing about the oilers loss is that right from the time the oilers acquired Joffrey Lupul Mactavish as a coach didn't like him. Lupul I believe is from St Albert. Lupul has flourished in Toronto.

Avs performance this year just shows how terrible of a coach Joe Sacco was.

[Dogbert]

"Okay, we got one goal... That should be enough. All up to you from here, Carey."

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Thank goodness Henrik is okay. I really thought he was hurt that time.

While I agree Sacco was terrible, picking up McKinnon at the draft and trading for tanguay, not to mention a healthy downie and no hold out from o'reilly will really help to stack your forward ranks.

I think the 'Hawks get too passive with a lead, and should just keep playing the puck possession game in their O-zone as much as possible.

CC gets grief from 'Hawk fans about "soft" late goals...but after outshooting the Sabres buy a 2 to 1 margin in the 1st two periods, they end up getting outshot 16 to 4 in the 3rd...NO goalie is gonna look good when he is eating that much rubber...it is usually a TEAM breakdown, on those alleged "soft" goals

[edn88]

No one here cares, but the Canucks Third jersey is miles ahead of their Orca/wordmark regular jersey

[strombad]

I know we have to hate the Canucks and everything, but my god is Subban dirty. After the multiple cross checks to Bouma the other day and that pretty blatant tap to Sedin's face, he's a sneak.

where is it? It's not I the ne-et
