Yeah, that was my feeling as well. I know his skills have deteriorated, but he was a special player, on a team of selfless stars, and that really kept him from getting his due. Don’t get me wrong, he was banging Eva Longoria, so it’s not like his life was shit, but I always admired his abilities from afar (Blazers fan…

Oh, man. I’ve got a sick feeling in my gut about this. The guy is not at an age where he can rehab a serious injury and return to form.

I want to be rich for two reasons. So I can buy any plant I want for my garden and so I can leave ridiculous tips. That’s it. That’s all I really aspire to in life.

Jim Cooke, you genius. That illustration is the shit and you deserve more than you are being paid, whatever that amount is.

Aw man that hug from the first base coach.

Has anyone thought about what a hazard it is to be playing with all this fucking ice on the floor?

I would love to hear Fiala’s name mentioned in excitement by Hockey Night in Canada in Punjabi someday.

Blues are a dirty team, and Bertuzzo is especially a shitbag. Not giving him the benefit of the doubt.

CBC is about to show the hit for about the 600th time. Ron MacLean just mentioned how “gruesome” it was, then said “Let’s see it again.” And now wants it slowed down so we can all get a really good look.

I thought this might be the case as I was typing the inquiry. I assume (hope) a more serious emergency wouldn’t wait it out

I don’t think the hit was dirty, just a really unfortunate position to be in hitting the boards that hard. Hate it for the guy, he’s more than earned his spot on this team.

Scary to watch in real time. Just a freak incident with getting your legs caught in the wrong position at the worst possible time.

I can’t wait to see what ESPN’s NHL reporters to have to say about this.

Uh, they’re on Twitter, making tweets. They aren’t the victim in a crime or the perpetrator of a crime, so why hide their identity if Twitter doesn’t?

Honest question: is there a journalistic standard about showing Twitter usernames of (potentially) underage persons? Or does that fall into the public persona realm?

I feel like this is the union of Neon Trees and Misterwives having a kid. I dig it. It’s no All We Know Is Falling, but I’ll definitely check out the whole album. Excuse me while I go back and listen to Underoath and Emery some more.

I think you are all really overestimating how “salty” I am right now haha. The Preds beat us badly, its on to the next one.
