dave_ragg1984 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hope we find a cure for this Stanley Cup hangover, and fast. It might have just kicked in. 4-1 Devils. Parise's goal to make it 4 was sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsslatic Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Look who's number 1 in the East I've been happy for this thread to keep a low profile for a while... Devs appear to be playing well. Haven't been able to watch much of the actual action this season (highlights here and there), but results speak for themselves. Bloody annoying...

Ackey Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 I've been happy for this thread to keep a low profile for a while... Devs appear to be playing well. Haven't been able to watch much of the actual action this season (highlights here and there), but results speak for themselves. Bloody annoying... We've been immense. Absolutely decimated by injuries from top to bottom. The system (we have the coach who reinvented/perfected the trap in charge don't forget) is winning through more than individual performances are -- the Devils we know and love (or love to hate) are back!! I've kept a low profile as I don't like to talk about things when they're going well - just look at the stats for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ackey Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Shanahan announces retirement Great career. A cut above for many years. His 109 game winning goals speak volumes of a man who was simply a winner. Great time to call it a day, no need to chase the game. Wouldn't bet against him getting a fourth Cup as a head coach in the next ten years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigfinLatic Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) Not had much to shout about yet.... well, anything really..... So, I thought I would post this link....

jsslatic Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 And yet you're rapidly catching up with the Wings. Their season gets worse and worse, it's brilliant. Would love it if they didn't make the post-season. Oh, and beating the Hawks 3-0 is an outstanding result. They had a bit of a slow start despite being my tip for the Cup, but are really coming good. Maybe Mr 'I'm Leaving To Win The Stanley Cup' has got it right this time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Mike Rupp got a hat trick! Mike Rupp! MIKE RUPP! And Ovechkin's injured. Gutted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Just to clarify that Ovi point...I don't like players getting injured normally, but he's had it coming to him. Ovechkin went down following a knee-on-knee collision with Carolina defenseman Tim Gleason at 12:05 of the opening period. Ovechkin was on the ice for several minutes before receiving help to the locker room. He received a major penalty for kneeing and a game misconduct, his second in three games. It's not the first time he's been done for 'kneeing' and he should've had a ban in the playoffs last year for a similar offence against Gonchar which knocked him out of one game and made him miss the second. He's a dirty little s***...if he just played his game without going out to hurt people (and I'm not talking about checking, I mean really hurting people) then he'd be doing a lot more good for his team. At the moment he's turning into the next Avery*, extremely talented but an utter w****r. *Not that Avery is anywhere near as good as Ovechkin.

jsslatic Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Is this the last of the records now? It seems every game he's played for the last year would either definately or potentially break a record! Well done, Marty Think the Devs will win the Atlantic, without tooting the Pens' horn too much...even we haven't looked remotely like beating you all season. The Conference itself is a bit daft...Devs, Caps and Pens aside it seems like all the Western teams are better than the East! Even the Ducks... I'm more interested so far this year in the failings of the Flyers and Red Wings than anything happening at the top of the tables... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He broke the record for most games played last week too. If there is a NHL goalie record, Marty holds it. Most of them will never be broken either.

Ackey Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) ...without tooting the Pens' horn too much...even we haven't looked remotely like beating you all season.... You can say that again... The Devs have won all 4 games this season conceding just 2 goals!! The first 3 games were even in Pittsburg! Marty has stopped 124 of 126 shots in the 4 games and the Pens haven't scored in a combined 168:28 on him!! Yeah, he now owns the record book. He broke the record for most games played last week too. If there is a NHL goalie record, Marty holds it. Most of them will never be broken either. Quick Wiki: Most regular season wins (557) Most shutouts (record achieved during 2009–10 season) Most shutouts, regular season & playoffs combined (118) Most overtime wins (45) Most consecutive 30-win seasons (12) Most consecutive 35-win seasons (11) Most 40-win seasons (7) Most games played by an NHL goaltender (record achieved during 2009–10 season) Most total minutes played by an NHL goaltender (record achieved during 2009–10 season) Only NHL goalie to score a game-winning goal One of two NHL goalies (Ron Hextall) to score a goal in both the regular season and the playoffs Regular season Most wins in a single season (48, in 2006–07) Most minutes played in a single season (4697, in 2006–07) Playoffs Most shutouts in a playoff (7, in 2002–03) Most shutouts in playoffs, career: (23, tied with Patrick Roy) Most shutouts in a Stanley Cup final (3, in 2002–03; tied with Toronto Maple Leafs' Frank McCool) 2nd place: 98 Wins 3rd goaltender to win the Stanley Cup with a Game-7 shutout in 2002–03. 1st goaltender in history to have 3 shutouts in two different playoff series. (1995 against Boston in the Conference Quarterfinals, 2003 against Anaheim in the Stanley Cup final.) Brodeur has also acquired more than 30 franchise records, including most all-time, regular season and playoff wins, shutouts, games lowest goals-against-average. I think (and this comes from someone who idolised him) he outstrips Gretzky as the greatest hockey player of all time. Frankly, he has the potential to be the most influential sportsman, any sport, of all time. I find it difficult to think of one sportsman who has even half as many of records.

BigfinLatic Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Look at the stat's man - he's kicking on that way. Couple of more Cups and he's well on his way! Back in your box Ackey..... Whaaaaaddddeeeeeevvvver!!!!! Realistically, unfortunatley a Netminder will never be considered more than the greatest netminder of all time.... its the same in football - how often in the greatest player ever debates do we mention Banks, Schmeichel or Cassillas? You don't. It may be wrong, but Gretzky IS the greatest player off all time, and to be honest, always will be. Marty is just the best person at standing between a couple of pipes and getting hit by a bit of frozen vulcanised rubber. On a different note. was at my brother in laws this weekend who has ESPN and watched the Winter Classic - not the greatest game, but what an event that is, loved every second of it. Proper 'boys own' stuff... Something fantastic about playing hockey outside.... ... and will also now probably have subscribed to ESPN just in time to see the Ducks lose to the redwings on wednesday...

BigfinLatic Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Check this out - Former Pittsburgh Penguins star Jaromir Jagr was part a brawl-filled game in Russia that had to be called after four minutes for a lack of players. A series of fights between Vityaz Chekhov and Avangard Omsk resulted in 691 penalty minutes against more than 30 players. The game had to be suspended because neither team had enough players to continue. The KHL league commission plans to look at video and hear from team officials, referees and observers to decide further discipline. The game was stopped tied at 0-0 with 56 minutes 21 seconds to play. The fighting started at 3:27. when Vityaz's Brendan Sugden started in with Avangard's Alexander Svitov. Soon the rest of the players on the ice, including Jagr, dropped their gloves and started fighting. Order was restored but at 3:34 more fighting broke out, and eight more players, four from each side, were penalized. There was another free-for-all at 3:37, involving players on the ice and seven more in the penalty boxes, including Jagr. That left three Avangard skaters on the ice and one on the bench, and three Vityaz skaters on the ice and three on the bench. The team ran out of players at 3:39, when Avangard's Anton Babchuk and Jakub Klepisch were penalized for leaving the bench and Vityaz's Viktor Bobrov and Rustam Bakhriddinov took 10-minute misconducts. Video of The Brawl - Including Brilliant Russian Text Translation Oh - Btw... Second half of the season... Ducks actually starting to win? Seen this before....

jsslatic Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 That Russian stuff is quality, especially the translation...good fights, but not exactly a 'massacre'... Pffft Devils...who cares if all you do when you're about to lose is turn the lights out in the arena?! The Droylsden of the NHL. I assume Matt Stajan last night was the first Latics fan to score against Stanley Cup holders. Another dream up in smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
