Originally Posted By TINK-MOBILE Welcome Brotherdave...Didn't see the game today...heard that Tampa was flying on all clyinders....they do have a lot of talent..Yeah Crosby would be a Great Addition..Pens are in the Canuck Boat..although our guys have played far worse...3-2 ...You just never know who is going to show up...

Originally Posted By mele Ugh, brotherdave. That was brutal. I wanted to stop watching the game and get out into the sunshine (while it lasts!) but couldn't turn if off. Ouch. I will be treating myself to some sangria tonight, just for my pains. :-( Oh, and TINK, vbdad isn't the kind of guy to just read things and spout them off w/o knowing what he's talking about. He stated that he's played at a high level...that should be enough cred to stop telling him he has no idea about hockey.
Originally Posted By SingleParkPassholder I'm sorry, but this TINK guy is just a rambling, incoherent jerk. If he's a good guy it escapes me here in this thread. I have no probelm with a good, healthy rivalry in sports, but the vomit he's spewing here isn't worth reading.
Originally Posted By SingleParkPassholder I didn't finish my thought. All he does here is post crap and insults about opposing players he doesn't like, derogatory slurs that are intended to do nothing but generate anger and more argument. If I wanted that I'd stick with WE or go to a bar where the drunks there know more than he seems to, and are more hospitable.
Originally Posted By TINK-MOBILE Not saying that at all, your mixing words there mele...I said that he uses quotes from other people to do that...and no one has said he doesn't know anything about Hockey...Be interesting to hear what he does know..so far all these discussions have been about what people have seen or read, not what they know... Gretzky was a Great Hockey Player but could not understand how to coach the game...Likes of Don Cherry, Howie Meeker, Jacgue Lemaire, John Torterelli , Roger Neilson, Scotty Bowman , Punch Imlach..ect could... Where were you when I am talked of the same way...I happen to know a Great Deal about Hockey and Officiating..in a number of Sports.. I have coached a number of teams and have won a number of Championships in many sports..Have officiated at very high levels...I see things differently because I call it like it is , when the hawks received the same poor officiating last year I was thr first to say so... I know VBDAD has a knowledge of the game...as a player because he said so.. I read the game with a different perspective...a different appreciation, a different understanding.. I have coached for 45 years Mele...I am nobodys fool...I know what I am talking about.. I have zoodles of Championships , some lost ones too, but the goal is to get there,,,the bonus is to win it.... We all would like our teams to do well.. I will tell you this...Canucks success will depend upon them playing simple Hockey for 60 minutes...do what got them up 3-0...keep doing it until the final whistle... Hawks must rely on Vancouver to lay down for another 60 minutes..to achieve the same results..doesn't mean they can not win if the nucks play better, it just means it will be a little tougher to do... One thing chicago was doing was timing the runs in front of the net with shooter so Vancouver has to delay the runs and get in front of more shots...in other words player high becomes bigger , player from the booards stays with the check leaves the shot to luongo...we were not doing that..for the last two games,Sedins must cycle the puck...hopefully they will this game...

I played until I was in my early 40's because I was good enough to do so. I got my college paid for at one of the most prestigious universities in the US ( OK they paid for 2/3- but you get my point) - I played club hockey with Chris Chelios in the area here when we were both much younger-- BUT I don't know what goes on in a game. Not worth my time defending that comment and more than that. You show me your credentials of being a hockey guru please
Originally Posted By vbdad55 Chicago has a very small fan base...most know very little about outside teams especially Canadian...we have friends who live in Chicago , they go to a lot of Hawk games..it funny they don't disagree because you have one friend that is not Hockey savvy we're all idiots here ? Geez. Yes I admit there is nmore to do in our city than hockey- not sure that is a crime..but I guess being one of the original six teams means nothing compared to the mighty northwest, I bow to Vancouvers hockey knowledge

Oh and yes, I guess the Hawks had bad ref calls for 15 years when we couldn't win either...the league had an in for old man Wirtz ( and don't think there wasn;t some of that ) - but the constant whining about the officiating is tiring. The refs made sure the Pacers won today - at all costs-- but is anyone here whinign about it- nope- play harder and don't let the game be that close. Not our fault your skill set players are soft
Originally Posted By mele Here's what you said, a direct quote: "you really have no idea what goes on in a Hockey Game...you just read what others say" Oh yeah...no one has said he knows nothing about hockey. You're right, my reading comprehension is way off.

Originally Posted By vbdad55 . I'm truly wondering if we might see Crosby return then... ---- I know it's tempting but I hope they do what's right. If he's really ready fine..but that kind of talent one has to be very careful

Thread is yours Passholder I am done... I would ask that you not refer to me in any way shape or form on this thread as I will no longer be able to respond...
