Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

My best friend (huge Red Wings fan) just went to the DET/PHX game in PHX and was worried about getting crap for wearing his Yzerman sweater. I know, what a pussy. I told him, (a) PHX fans don't care enough about their team to give you crap, and (b) there will probably be plenty of Wings fans there anyways to hang with. Sure enough, he said there were just as much if not more Wings than Coyotes fans in the half-empty building.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I wonder if the the fans there know who Yzerman is. Yeah the building was full of Wings fans. Phoenix is the worst for that. It's either half full or if a big name team or a team with a lot of followers, it's full but half for the visitors. This just made me check attendance. So Coyotes fans were saying once ownership was settled and they were staying fans would show up.They are dead last in attendance. Playing to only 72%.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

What's even worse about Phoenix is that there is a huge population of retirees there, meaning they moved from somewhere else, like up north who probably already root for a different team. Can't help them in terms of keeping other teams fans out of the arena.

I almost moved to Atlanta after I graduated and there is no way I would have ever jumped ship. I'd never be a Thrasher fan. Good thing I didn't move cause all my hockey would have been gone.

So I have an interview for a new job in 90 minutes. I'm not good at these. I can BS with anyone but when it comes to either talking myself up or trying to give examples of a situation they are asking. Any pointers?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Agreed on the west.

IT was a big game but the Rangers played like the desperate team we played like that led to the run to the playoffs last year and we didn't. Martinek , who was signed last week, was undressed on the game winner. There was a reason he went unsigned til last week.

Talbot looks like a capable goalie.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Sorry I missed this... not that I would have very many good pointers anyways. :lol

Hope the interview went well. :thumbsup

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Hope the interview went well Tim!

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Yeah, never been on an interview so I couldn't help you anyways.

Good Luck, though!! :thumbsup

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Thanks guys. We'll see. Should find out if I get a 2nd interview by the end of the week or early next week. I think it went OK. One answer I remember thinking...crap that sucked. Like I said just not good at selling myself. I'm more than qualified for this job and could do it.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

^ Sorry I missed Tim. Hope you get where you want to be.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

What type of position, Tim?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

That's a little personal, Chris. Maybe a question you should ask in private.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Get your mind out of the gutter, Matty.

This is Tim, not David Bolland.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I heard he's interviewing to play goalie for the Oilers.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

:lol I was originally going to fix your post to say:
:lol :thumbsup

He could probably get any spot on the Sabres right now, but we all know Tim is better than that.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

a 30 goal scorer, a first rounder pick AND a second rounder for a guy that has a strong chance of walking this summer?

It'd be different if the Isles had problems scoring goals, but this trade wasn't a necessity and the overpay makes it more mind boggling.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

An administrative position still here at UM. Just don't like the place I'm at right now so looking for a change
Married and have a kid. so the position is asleep before 10.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

got the pens lines are so bad.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

So....Semyon Varlamov has been arrested and charged with 2nd degree kidnapping and 3rd degree assault. Sounds like domestic violence. He turned himself in tonight.


Um, wtf?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

yeah, seriously, what?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Was just coming in to report on that. Sounds serious. Refused an interview, too. He is in deep. Rumors of a kidnapping charge as well.

Waiting on Matt...

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I hope the arresting officer is BOBROVSKY and this is all a joke.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

excellent win by the pens tonight. that final save by fleury had shades of the final save from the 09 cup. awesome stuff.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

What's it like to win this Cup you all speak of?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread

My line of thinking since the news broke....

: pulls knife out of heart slowly, whispers, "Varly, how could you?"

(Sudden rage) we are 10-1, off to our best start ever. How could you???? Finally coming into your own and you throw it all away.... And taking the team down with you!!!

(Drops to knees, crying) why??? WHY???

(Cue slow, building music. Camera focuses on my face. Fire burning in my eyes) ...

... Get Regier on the phone. NOW!!!

God I love the Bruins, but I can get over this loss with Sox winning it all.

Why do the Pens own us in the regular season all the time? I don't get it
