80% the rich kid who’s parents want him to get playing time. Goalie gear is expensive as hell, and there arent’ enough goalies particularly in youth hockey where teams are smaller, so if you get your kid goalie gear, he just became a starter and essential.

he said hockey guys, not jock sniffers.

Atlanta is one of the worst towns in the world. Just unbearable, pooly conceived, a total lack of anything nearing culture, and so much intra-hate I can’t believe it hasn’t been burned to the ground. Moreover, there’s no actual city, there’s just endless sprawl. The only good thing about Atlanta is the aquarium, and…

This might be Barry’s best hockey article ever, which isn’t saying much. However, if he sticks to feels and noise and energy and those things in a growing fan base like this, then he’s not so far out of his element.

I played with a guy in college who would throw a shitfit when someone mishandled a pass on the tape, or didn’t get him the puck or fucked up a breakout, I mean irritating stuff, but he would lose it every fucking time, quit on plays sometimes over it. Then he’s just bitch on the bench. Eventually, I became the guy…

Watching Barry meltdown again, as the Pens go deep again (hopefully to the cup, again), as he just tries to hate on everyone and everything about them is a nice little dose of Schadenfreude every day.

This guy has got to be a troll, no one on earth is this stupid.

Their terrible at their profession, but you are ranting without knowing that the Norris is a trophy based entirely and solely on regular season and the voting took place a month ago - prior to a puck being dropped in a single playoff game as it is required to be.

Yes, because it looked like he purposefully caused that wreck. In large part because he did cause the wreck. And in large part because he caused the wreck in a manner consistent with purposefully causing a wreck (it seemed like a PIT maneuver to the person being wrecked.) If there’s some evidence that a rotor exploded…

This is the single worst hockey article ever written. The Penguins only score “relatively cheap goals”, and that attempt to handle a rebound at speed, while handcuffed and in a phone booth by Oshie, a guy with renowned hands, was “an easy tapper into a wide open net.” YOU ARE FUCKTARDED PATTY.

The question I always ask when I hear “Trade X star player” is for who?

Let’s not forget how good Holtby was last night too. The Pens really won game 7 in every facet. They were faster, stronger, and played with more heart. HOltby though, did everything to keep his team in it. Stopped Malking and Crosby alone in front, and I think at least 1 other breakaway, a bunch of messes in the…

Another fanboy bullshit piece for Barry the Caps fan.

nope. A hit to the head is a hit to the head regardless of intent, and I think that rule will be even further clarified in the future.

did this guy just brag on a 3rd place medal from a highschool hockey tournament? hahahahahaha. And it’s hanging on his wall!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOL!!! god, I truly hope that you’re still in high school and that wall actually belongs to your parents, otherwise, this is fucking pathetic.

I’ve played for longer than you’ve been alive and at higher levels than you’ve hoped for. Go away poor child, and be dismissive elsewhere.

I agree Bill, but it is a penalty every time a player uses his stick to take the feet out from under another player.

the disclaimer is everything.

She was signaling that she wanted a high hard one.
