Winter Classic - Sabres vs. Penguins

[Ran]

Yeah, too many teams got burned by giving up their #1 picks last year for Free Agents to be. The draft this year is supposed to be great.

[Antropov]

The Red Wings should trade for a win.

I'll be shocked and amazed if Sundin stays in Toronto. If he doesn't jump ship I'll wonder what is wrong with his shiney, perfectly shaped head.

Oh, that no goal call with less than a minute left pissed me right the fuck off.
Fuck that ref in his ass with a pointy stick.
The useless fuck.

[Ran]

TSN (or some other Canadian news agency) said that Sundin has a side business in Canada. If he gets traded to a US team, he gets taxed differently. He has a no trade clause, so the Leafs can't be traded without his consent. Not sure how true this is because I don't know Sundin's business activities or anything about Canadian tax law.

And I swear he looks like one of the guys from Blue Man Group.

To be honest with you, I had enough by about the 14:00 minute mark of the third. I hate, hate, hate any national telecast of anything and its made worse when the team who is having their wang mouthified is the Ducks. That team makes me sick and having to hear about how great they are over and over and over makes me kind of want to vomit out of my butt.

[Ran]

I missed the first period, but the officiating in the Ducks-Wings game looked horrible.

[Diabolical]

Yeah, it was all "Giguere is 2 kewl!" from the announcers.

NBC may 'tard up hockey, but what else was I gonna watch, the fucking Pro Bowl?

[Ran]

I've seen pictures of what happened to Richard Zednik, but I'm not going to post them. His throat got cut by Ollie Jokinen's skate. He's at the hospital in stable condition.

Can you at least post the link?

This should be it:

The blood goes from the goal line all the way to center ice.

Here it is on Youtube

[anarky]

I don't follow hockey.

But the dude above looks more like Rob Corrdry than a Blue Man.

[Slicker]

I've only seen a few small pictures and I can't get the video to really load but the injury that Clint Malarchuk took looks 10x worse than this. Still really bad and I'm glad to see he's better.

[Antropov]

Yikes. That was nasty. I hate drawing comparisons to Malarchuk but its only natural. I think Clint's was worse, but damn. That's a lot of blood...

[Ran]

They still say that if Malarchuk was at the other end of the rink, the medics wouldn't have got there in time.

Zednik had surgery last night and might be going back to Miami today. Doctors were more worried about blood clots than the loss of blood. Right after it happened, the Panters chartered a flight for his wife up to Buffalo.
