he looks like Woody from Psych

Alexander Svitov is a tough dude. Too bad he was short lived in the NHL. He always destroyed people. I remember him fighting Richard Park (lol) and he made the back of Park's head bleed. I've never seen that

As someone born in Columbus and a Jackets fan, Pittsburgh is our biggest rival, so there goes that argument Also, prove to me that Beau Bennett was infected by Crosby and not Tanner Glass or Derrick Brassard or the 10-12 other people.

They didn't shrug it off, they sent for a third test to the CDC.

I'm not sure where you are getting your information, Crosby was tested in late November which is what I think you are talking about, but he was also tested on December 10-11 which came back negative. Then thirdly, it was then sent to CDC which came back positive. So I was incorrect, he was tested three times. So I…

He was tested for mumps, and it came back negative. That is why he was in front of the media that day. The second test came back positive.

Unless it was updated after you posted this, why is there no mention of JT's side of the story?

I think that is along the same lines as calling it the Stanley Cup Finals when it is actually just "Final," but people will refer to it as the "finals"

Yes, there are some hockey-savants who probably couldn't hold a normal job if it wasn't for hockey (I'm looking at you, Claude Giroux). But I think every professional league would have a large population of players that wouldn't know seemingly common-knowledge type stuff. I think college exposure even just one…

Do you know how I know you're not Canadian? You called it "juniors" instead of "junior."

you mean the only guy that made the run down possible? No, no credit for him!

Carlyle has also been behind the bench, for the past THREE YEARS.

No love for Nash's backhand sauce?! That pass was just as impressive!

I am fairly certain that he broke his leg by kicking himself, no?

Talk about crowding the plate

No, 7 is a registered 6 offender

I preface by saying that by no means should this have been flagged, but I think you're right. I think it was the slide that caught their attention not the religious gesture.

Baseball is at the highest levels of popularity?! Nothing will beat '98!

In this case, the CBJ already said they would match any offer sheet, so it would be silly to do so. They only way you can get them to not match the offer sheet would probably be to give him some ridiculous amount (8-10M per year). In which case, if isn't matched, you give up your next 4 first round draft picks. …

Barry, thank you for mentioning the fact he isn't holding out. He doesn't have a contract so he isn't holding out of anything.
