After the best team in NY wore them out last night, you should have a better chance tonight. You're welcome for the help

There's the Avs I'm used to.

I just finished Return of the Jedi, Matty.

So many thoughts. So many questions.

I can't wait to hear them all.

How did the Avs let the Leafs score 7? Oh not those questions?

How have the Ducks not done anything yet?

I understood before, and understand now, what Murray is trying to do. He's saying the players need to be held accountable. I mean this team was one win away from the Finals 7 months ago...Bruce isn't the problem but he's probably gonna have to get axed cause while you want the players to wake the hell up, hard to trade players in today's game, especially ones that will make the other guys on the team say "oh shit, they traded HIM?"

Obviously what he is doing isn't working though. That team needs a shake up. Still great watching them fall though.

Can they scratch some "star" players and call up some as some sort of kick in the ass/punishment?

[lockman21]

I would be erect for months if Corey Perry was a healthy scratch.

OK, Matty, here we go. Spoilers for those of you who are still way behind life like I was:

Why the hell did the Empire construct a second Death Star? And again with an insanely similar weakness? Did they not learn AT ALL from the first Death Star? WTF?

What was the point of those walking teddy bears? It looked like they were just annoying the storm troopers instead of killing them. "OMG I'M GOING TO HUG YOU TO DEATH AND BOP THE TOP OF YOUR HELMET! HAN SOLO WINS!" Also, why did Han/R2 go through all the trouble of trying to open the door if all they had to do was say "lol we won come on out guys" and then they open the doors to ruin the ENTIRE PLAN? ALSO, why did so much of the movie revolve around those freaking things?

What the hell is the point of Leia other than to make out with Han? She's constantly just being a lil bitch (except when she killed that giant tongue, Jabba). Why doesn't she have any kind of body guards? Wouldn't she, being a princess, have some sort of protection other than some pilot they met in a bar so she doesn't end up being that fat blob's sex slave?

Why don't we see any more Wookies? Is Chewy the only one?

Why isn't Leia or Luke weirded out by the fact that they made out? Also, what's the point of her being his sister? It never develops into anything. She just kinda is, but then it doesn't matter.

If Darth Vader and Obi-Wan were just these super powerful Jedi masters, why the hell does everyone treat Jedis like they're some mythical creature? How the hell did these all powerful people become essentially extinct? If the force is so amazing and powerful, why did it and Jedis almost disappear? Han Solo treats them like we're talking about some crazy old religion. Wasn't it not all that long ago that they were really powerful? I guess that will be answered in the prequels? Idk.

I had no idea what Yoda was saying when he was dying?

Why was Han Solo "blind" for like 5 minutes, while still being fully functional everywhere else, and then all the sudden he can just see again? That was weird.

Why was Vader all "fuck Luke, Dark Side for life, you underestimate it's power, blah blah blah" forever, killing so many people on the way, then all the sudden like, "nah fuck this bro I'm good again"?

Don't get me wrong, I loved them. I just have so many questions about this stuff. Maybe it's because I'm new to it? Took in too much at once? IDK. Starting the prequels tonight.

Have to shut down Benn and Seguin tonight! Crawford and the D really need to step it up against Dallas and the offense will have to stay hot and play their game. This is a big game we need to win, not big in the larger scheme of things but the Hawks need to show they can play with a red hot team and beat them senseless.

Between the filming of Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi the 1980 miracle on ice happens. Vader's heart was warmed by the event. The rest is Jedi history.

bruins are so hot right now. they were 12 points behind the habs to start the month and are just a point back now with a chance to take over tonight

Well part of that is also the Habs can't win anything without Price. 2-8 in their last 10.

[Lcsulla]

Damn, Hawks deserved a better fate there. The shut down Benn and Seguin but took some stupid penalties (though Keith's penalty probably saved a goal) that cost them a pair of goals, Crow gut unlucky on the first goal after moving to his left and bouncing off the post leaving about 2 inches of air that Dallas cashed in on, then the last goal was unlucky too since it was a Hawk who ended up tipping it into the net. Should have been a better scoreline though. Dallas is a great team and wow did their goalie play out of his mind tonight. Oh well, all teams have a bad game here and there. Not exactly thrilled with Rozi though who took a stupid penalty that Dallas punished them for and then he tips in the goal to seal the Stars win. UGH!

yeah, but the bruins capitalized on it. No one thought that would happen with this roster. atleast the winter classic will be a good matchup now
