I'm curious not concerned

Curiosity leads to concern and that leads to the Dark Side.

True, but that one is actually funny. Me and SSF still share the same disdain for how happy he was when matt duchene scored a hat trick against the senators in a blowout victory

WTF was he thinking? What a Dung show that game was.

Am I confused?
Dash was one person. Riprock and Roche was another. Steve? Can't even remember.
I doubt Neely and dr poo were the same person but that would of been epic!

This site is fine without. Slowly we'll attract people back that enjoy good convo.

He appears to have vanished... along with Dr. Poo...

Neely took his ball and went home because people didn't agree with him regarding something to do with the military. I don't remember exactly. I do remember that he banned flo for disagreeing with him as his parting gift. He's being insecure somewhere else right now.

It was actually because a few people on here made ignorant and offensive comments, essentially saying friends of his who were killed, were fighting an unjust war.

You are confused. Dash and Riprock were the same person: Steve. That was his real name. Roche was someone else.

Hey Prags, Lecavalier just scored.

Nobody said ignorant comments. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and as it was said, people were arguing the mission not that his friends had died. Sometimes you have to separate politics from personal emotions. Look at the big picture. That's what it boiled down to. Now put it to rest lest another can of worms opens up.

Politics should be an exchange of ideas and a debate on policy direction, but it has devolved to a point where it's all rhetoric, emotion and in some cases hatred.   Some things were said and rather than offering a simple apology for offending someone, even if not intentional, people basically doubled down and became more aggressive.  This is not specific to this site but more so across our entire society.[/quote]

I could never accept that the Habs were better than us. Good to see them drop like they have.

Wow! Really? Well that completely changes the situation. Before I was looking at 2 goals in 5 games, how those are very small numbers and, you know, he may not keep this up. But now he's got 3 goals in 6 games and that's a completely different story now. You're right! He's averaging 1 goal a game for the last 2 games and he's got 36 games left. And if he keeps this recent pace up he'll finish with 42 goals! He's probably going to catch Kane and win the Richard. And then he'll un-announce his retirement and the Caps will be happy as pigs in Dung because, how doesn't love a 40-goal man for $3M per!

So much for Vinny *not* contributing in LA. Wrong again, wprager. As usual.

Giving them slight credit, they've been playing without an NHL goalie for most of the season. Mind you I'm not sure they would be winning that many games lately either. Price would of stolen a few.
I hope they don't make the playoffs and therrien gets fired.

They've come down to reality. They've been overrrated for so many years now and have been saved by Price year after year. We saw it in the playoffs two years ago when they played against the Rangers. Price got hurt and the whole team collapsed. I think it's time they move from Therrien. Washington is clearly the class of the East.

What is missing in this is that the Sens have been horrible in December as well. They were 2 points below .500 on the month (13 points in 15 games) and even worse until the recent (and improbable) two-game win streak (would have been 17 points 21 games). If they had played like they did in October and November they'd be 8 points up on the Habs.
