DevFan-RU- 09-27-2008, 12:32 PM Hey, can someone make an ASCII picture of Lou Lams? Kinda like this picture of Dwight Schrute?

njdevsfn95 09-27-2008, 12:33 PM Now i can relax and focus on why i have no lunch right now.
DevFan RU: while all I see is a Red X, i assume ASCII is using various characters (such as ** and /) to create a picture?
the one of dwight was great. THe Office rules.

Devilswede 09-27-2008, 12:52 PM Let's show the Rags what's up once again!
They'll have their full team today, I wonder what their excuse will be if they lose today then? :)

BenedictGomez 09-27-2008, 12:57 PM They'll have their full team today, I wonder what their excuse will be if they lose today then? :)
Is that true? Given the Devils are starting 1/2 non-NHL players the Rangers should win convincingly, but it will be interesting to see.
Devilswede 09-27-2008, 01:00 PM Is that true? Given the Devils are starting 1/2 non-NHL players the Rangers should win convincingly, but it will be interesting to see.
Yeah, it's true. They'll be leaving for Europe after the game, so this is their final test on NA ice before the season.

David Puddy 09-27-2008, 01:10 PM Freaking-A! That's how it should be done. Great play by Gionta, Rolston and Elias!
MKWing26 09-27-2008, 01:11 PM well, that was a certainly a pretty play
fluffernutter mf 09-27-2008, 01:12 PM ****ing awesome.
MKWing26 09-27-2008, 01:12 PM I mean outside
Lundqvist for the entire 60!?

Colin Whites Eye 09-27-2008, 01:13 PM score! Zubrus! and some asskicking!
**** YEA BOYS!

Devilswede 09-27-2008, 01:13 PM Great play by the big line! Patty from Rolston! I hope to see that a lot this year!! :)
MKWing26 09-27-2008, 01:14 PM Roszival coughs it up to Holik, drives the net, Zubrus puts home the rebound.
devilzrule27 09-27-2008, 01:14 PM Wooo!!!!!!

Njdevilsfireonice30 09-27-2008, 01:14 PM Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Awesome top line they have going here.
David Puddy 09-27-2008, 01:14 PM Two nothing Devils!
guess the Rags really want to win. Why else would they start Lundqvist in a meaningless before they go to Europe of all places.Their season starts in one week because they are playing in the Czech Republic.
CMac17 09-27-2008, 01:14 PM YAY Zubrus ^_^
Colin Whites Eye 09-27-2008, 01:14 PM also, did i hear right? Chico said he thinks Salmela makes the team?
Gunnar Stahl 30 09-27-2008, 01:15 PM man, everyone looks graet, lundqvist looks shakey
Overtime98 09-27-2008, 01:15 PM Rolston is really going to be huge for us this season...
Holik is bringing back that edge we missed last year
Gunnar Stahl 30 09-27-2008, 01:16 PM 750 line is awesome
Blitz113 09-27-2008, 01:16 PM Rangers look awful.
åboriginal 09-27-2008, 01:16 PM also, did i hear right? Chico said he thinks Salmela makes the team?
i heard that too. something like "they didnt grab him away from finland just to put him in the minors." hope hes right:yo:.
Dialamo 09-27-2008, 01:16 PM Doea anyone have radio for this? My feed is a bit slow for now.

he really is annoying. im so glad i dont have to hear him anymore when i watch isles games either. my dad hated him.
Gunnar Stahl 30 09-27-2008, 01:21 PM zubrus is an animal. he always looks to hit someone
MKWing26 09-27-2008, 01:21 PM Wow. A game for that? Preseason for the refs, too.
yeah...give him two, okay. But a game? That is really extreme.
Das Uber 09-27-2008, 01:21 PM Micheletti needs to get punched in the throat.
And how can you not love Holik?
Blitz113 09-27-2008, 01:22 PM Hey, there's the daily Gionta slapshot wide.
Jonathan. 09-27-2008, 01:22 PM yeah...give him two, okay. But a game? That is really extreme.
Hopefully it's pre-season reffing. Never seen a hit from the side been called a major + game for boarding.
Gunnar Stahl 30 09-27-2008, 01:22 PM pp looks like *****, sutter is probably pissed
Gunnar Stahl 30 09-27-2008, 01:24 PM take a seat mary
ALine9900 09-27-2008, 01:24 PM That hit was awesome.
Blitz113 09-27-2008, 01:24 PM Corrente destroyed Zherdev.
britdevil 09-27-2008, 01:24 PM Man, radio sucks.
GO DEVILS!!!

ALine9900 09-27-2008, 01:25 PM Rangers getting way too fancy this period
Devilswede 09-27-2008, 01:25 PM Man why does our PP always suck so bad? Just wondering.
Njdevilsfireonice30 09-27-2008, 01:25 PM For some reason there's no sound on NHL CI... I'm missing Chico's brilliant commentary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cry:
Go Devils, **** THAT POWERPLAY
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 01:26 PM Nice, i had work from 8-1 this morning and i turn on the TV to see my boys up 2 in the first period against Lundqvist. I am so pumped for this season.
fortheloveof666 09-27-2008, 01:26 PM Yes Micheletti, Zherdev says "hello", and then get's level. Freaking dumbass...
what a SWEET spin-oh wait Corrente just laid him out. :biglaugh:
RinkOnEStreet 09-27-2008, 01:27 PM Whoever that ***** that went down in the corner on the Korpedo play couldn't make the Olympic team with those diving abilities?
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 01:27 PM I love seeing rolston back in this devils jersey. :yo:
Colin Whites Eye 09-27-2008, 01:28 PM lol @ the AIG logo on the ice at MSG
britdevil 09-27-2008, 01:28 PM Wade Brookbank couldn't make the Olympic team with those diving abilities?
Are you watching Carolina?
Colin Whites Eye 09-27-2008, 01:28 PM Wade Brookbank couldn't make the Olympic team with those diving abilities?
WADE BROOKBANK ISNT EVEN ON OUR TEAM
jesus christ if youre going to troll at least get it right
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 01:28 PM Wade Brookbank couldn't make the Olympic team with those diving abilities?
Lol, wade brookbank isnt playing today.
r0bb0871 09-27-2008, 01:29 PM Weekes is looking good. Good to see.
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 01:30 PM Oduya and Salmela are looking good out there. I really hope Oduya can keep up the good play he exemplified last year, and keep it going through to this season.
dkatzism 09-27-2008, 01:30 PM lol @ the AIG logo on the ice at MSG
Ahaha, good call. Was Lehman ever a sponsor?
Njdevilsfireonice30 09-27-2008, 01:30 PM LOL at that penalty call and especially extra loud LOL at this broadcast crew.
Doc, if you're listening to this trainwreck, go save them!!!
Jonathan. 09-27-2008, 01:31 PM Whoever that ***** that went down in the corner on the Korpedo play couldn't make the Olympic team with those diving abilities?
Come on, dude. Be a bit unbiased. His face did slam into the boards. Most players might be shaken up on that. It was an awkward hit. 100% clean, but awkward as he had no balance.
Devilswede 09-27-2008, 01:31 PM Whoever that ***** that went down in the corner on the Korpedo play couldn't make the Olympic team with those diving abilities?
Don't let the door hit you on the way out. ;)
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 01:32 PM How is Zharkov doing (besides the penalty) and how is white playing today?
fluffernutter mf 09-27-2008, 01:32 PM For some reason there's no sound on NHL CI... I'm missing Chico's brilliant commentary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cry:
Go Devils, **** THAT POWERPLAY
But you're also missing all the ranger love.
Game Breaker 09-27-2008, 01:32 PM We look like sexy time right now...
ALine9900 09-27-2008, 01:32 PM Haha yeah Chico
Colin Whites Eye 09-27-2008, 01:32 PM Wade Redden must be wearing Jay Pandolfo's skates
Das Uber 09-27-2008, 01:33 PM LOL. Redden has a "skate issue". The commentary is so awkward, Chico is trying to call Redden washed up.
Feed Me A Stray Cat 09-27-2008, 01:33 PM Wade Redden is terrible.
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 01:34 PM Oduya looks alot faster IMO. He has been skating strong in these last shifts.
Devilswede 09-27-2008, 01:34 PM hahaha...Chico bashing Redden!! :)
DevFan-RU- 09-27-2008, 01:34 PM I Dont Give A Flying **** About Patrick Ewing. ****!
Njdevilsfireonice30 09-27-2008, 01:34 PM Everybody here knows, but the Rangers and clearly these guys in the booth haven't realized it yet:
Redden sucks.
Most overpaid defenseman in the NHL.
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 01:35 PM And LOL at Chicos comment about Redden.
Everytime i see rosival i get happier and happier that we didnt sign him. He looks flat out lost out there.
Devilswede 09-27-2008, 01:35 PM How is Zharkov doing (besides the penalty) and how is white playing today?
Hasn't played that much. But looks like a solid defensive player.
sattar18 09-27-2008, 01:35 PM Whoever that ***** that went down in the corner on the Korpedo play couldn't make the Olympic team with those diving abilities?
brookbank was going down before he was touched, lost an edge or something so its the refs fault
Colin Whites Eye 09-27-2008, 01:35 PM Weekes looks sharp
Devilswede 09-27-2008, 01:38 PM You know what...if Marty's in goal I think that Drury shot goes in, because of his standup style. Weeksie is a butterfly goalie and he was down to make that save.
I really think we have a great backup in Weekes...he would prove it if he played more.
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 01:38 PM Weekes has been playing really well.
Why did Zharkov pass it so many times? I think he shouldve just skated it up that time. Oh well, he wil learn. I cant get over the fact that Rolston is on our team. It just hit me now, now that im seeing him for the first time in a Devils Uni.
åboriginal 09-27-2008, 01:38 PM what a mary
Colin Whites Eye 09-27-2008, 01:38 PM oh **** you colton orr, what a *****

Das Uber 09-27-2008, 01:39 PM Come one. Let Leblond and Orr go!
Devils9789 09-27-2008, 01:39 PM Orrs a ****ing *****.
britdevil 09-27-2008, 01:40 PM Hahahaha, Orr is allready Leblond's beotch.
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 01:40 PM Leblond is awesome. White seems to be fine out there.
jensi 09-27-2008, 01:40 PM wtf ORR, what is he doing, ahaha
Feed Me A Stray Cat 09-27-2008, 01:41 PM Ha another giveaway by Redden.
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 01:41 PM Zubrus is a beast.
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 01:42 PM LOL at orr actually trying to play hockey.
Scottyk9 09-27-2008, 01:42 PM Zubrus does not want to be on that 4th line huh. He is husslin out there.
Great period guys.
Colin Whites Eye 09-27-2008, 01:43 PM zubrus looked great, top line looked great, Weekes looked great
im liking it
Devilswede 09-27-2008, 01:43 PM Leblond would own Orr, that's why Orr is so scared.
Like someone already said...Leblond has already made Orr his beeatch!! :)
Blitz113 09-27-2008, 01:43 PM Zubrus looks weird with 8 as his number.

David Puddy 09-27-2008, 01:43 PM I really think we have a great backup in Weekes...he would prove it if he played more.Weekes has played 332 games in the NHL and he is 98-158-39 with a 2.90 GAA and a 90.2 SV%. Anytime that he has been the #1a, he has lost that job.
He's a good backup.
åboriginal 09-27-2008, 01:44 PM Zubrus is a beast.
seriously, wtf. u gotta wonder why players dont always play like theyre hungry and with a chip on their shoulder. hope he keeps it up tho. i still think that zubie/herf/ and whoever are gonna make a mean 4th line. this might be a year they can roll 4 lines effectively and balanced again.
Randal Graves 09-27-2008, 01:45 PM brookbank was going down before he was touched, lost an edge or something so its the refs fault
Exactly.. nobody dove. Ref's totally blew that call. It should have been at the most a 2 minute penalty if it should have been a penalty at all.
CMac17 09-27-2008, 01:45 PM Leblond would own Orr, that's why Orr is so scared.
Like someone already said...Leblond has already made Orr his beeatch!! :)
Looks like we're going to get our main event in the 2nd period! I'll be pullin' for the ol' PL^3!:handclap:
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 01:45 PM Weekes has played 332 games in the NHL and he is 98-158-39 with a 2.90 GAA and a 90.2 SV%. Anytime that he has been the #1a, he has lost that job.
He's a good backup.
Oh nice, he has a chance to get his 100th win this season.
Devilswede 09-27-2008, 01:46 PM But I still don't think that Zubrus should be playing on the 4:th line. He makes too much money and has a large contract. He should have more responsibility and more icetime.
BenedictGomez 09-27-2008, 01:46 PM If the Devils can beat the Rangers NHL team with 50% minor leaguers today, I will laugh my azz off!!
Randal Graves 09-27-2008, 01:46 PM Weekes has played 332 games in the NHL and he is 98-158-39 with a 2.90 GAA and a 90.2 SV%. Anytime that he has been the #1a, he has lost that job.
He's a good backup.
He also has shown that he can raise his game come playoff time which is a big reason why Lou likely chose him over other guys.
DevFan-RU- 09-27-2008, 01:47 PM If the Devils can beat the Rangers NHL team with 50% minor leaguers today, I will laugh my azz off!!
If they win against Lundqvist with such a crew... that would be awesome!
CMac17 09-27-2008, 01:47 PM LOL apparently Parise scored the first goal, and GiAnta got an assist. Thanks, MSG:laugh:
...as someone said before, it's pre-season for everyone I s'pose.
Please don't let the PP look anything like this come opening night...
Das Uber 09-27-2008, 01:47 PM I wonder who Bobby's going to vote for...
Devilswede 09-27-2008, 01:48 PM Gomez is disgusting! God I hate that ugly ****er! And he's wearing a hat to cover up that bald head of his!
Traitor!
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 01:48 PM But I still don't think that Zubrus should be playing on the 4:th line. He makes too much money and has a large contract. He should have more responsibility and more icetime.
Maybe if he can turn his hard work and beastliness into points, he could definitely be the RW with Parise and Zajac if Langenbrunner is put with Maddens line.

Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 01:49 PM If they win against Lundqvist with such a crew... that would be awesome!
Thats the reason why i am even happier. We are scoring most of the goals on lundqvist. So far 4 out of the 5 goals have been on the Queen and only 1 out of 2 have been on Marty.
MKWing26 09-27-2008, 01:49 PM But I still don't think that Zubrus should be playing on the 4:th line. He makes too much money and has a large contract. He should have more responsibility and more icetime.
He's not good enough, its that simple. He's not a top six forward if Alexander Ovechkin isn't next to him. I don't care how much money he makes, he has to play where he fits on this team.
MoonDragn 09-27-2008, 01:53 PM Thats the reason why i am even happier. We are scoring most of the goals on lundqvist. So far 4 out of the 5 goals have been on the Queen and only 1 out of 2 have been on Marty.
With Rolston and that big line, I think we're gonna give Lundqvist fits this season. Hopefully that means we're gonna sweep em.
Devilswede 09-27-2008, 01:53 PM He's not good enough, its that simple. He's not a top six forward if Alexander Ovechkin isn't next to him. I don't care how much money he makes, he has to play where he fits on this team.
Probably not, but he is a top 9. He would be perfect with Pando and Madden. That way he would put up pretty neat numbers too.
devilzrule27 09-27-2008, 01:53 PM He's not good enough, its that simple. He's not a top six forward if Alexander Ovechkin isn't next to him. I don't care how much money he makes, he has to play where he fits on this team.
I think he's definitely good enough to play on the second line and he's certainly much better then a fourth liner. I think its more about him fitting in with the players we have on the second line. I don't think he plays well with Parise and fits in much better with Holik. We're loaded with good players up front so he gets pushed aside. Personally I'm excited we can role 4 lines that will be able to produce points.
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 01:55 PM Wow, just seeing that play Holik made on the Queens arm puts a smile on my face.
Lund-pads is going to get that all season. Watch out mother****er.
Richer's Ghost 09-27-2008, 01:55 PM Zubrus far and away was a top 6 during the playoffs last year. Everything is relative and when people like Langenbrunner and Zajac are invisible - Zubrus starts looking far more attractive up in the top 6.
That's why the coaches edit lines folks... you play who's hot and earns it.
Njdevilsfireonice30 09-27-2008, 01:56 PM ******* satellite signal.
As reliable as redden...
Devilswede 09-27-2008, 01:57 PM Holik really is a huge pain in the butt to play against! That's why we got him and that's why we'll love him this year!
I still hold a grudge against him for leaving, that will never change even if he scores a SC winning goal...but at least he came back.
Brooklyndevil 09-27-2008, 01:58 PM First Period Comments: Beautiful first goal, Rolston will be a big help. Intelligent play by Holik on the second goal. His grit and experience will help as well. Don't know if the King is hurting, but he look slow today, the Rags better hope his knees hold out or they're in trouble. Weeks giving up to many rebounds and Fedor better give a better effort. I thought Bergfors played well. Other then that, pretty sloppy game, I'm hoping for a couple of fights to wake me up.

This.
But I think Zubie should play with either Madden or Holik. Langenbrunner is a man on a mission, I wouldn't be surprised if he were to equal his career high.
Goose Huckabee 09-27-2008, 01:58 PM thoughts on period 1...
first, before we all go busting holes in our pants, this is the rangers' 6th game in 8 days, they're tired and they look it. they look more bad than we do good. that said:
as long as zubrus and holik stay together, we are going to have the most feared 4th line in the league. beastly would be the word i'd use to describe them.
the fedorov vrana zharkov line has been pretty invisible, and i'm gonna go ahead and attribute at least some of that to bergfors' absence. vrana and zharkov have been skating well, but i've seen exactly nothing from feds. hopefully they can pick it up some.
elias rolston and gio have looked pretty good but still don't look like they're all on the same page, best evidenced by elias' turnover.
PP was godawful. PK looked great mostly because the rangers' PP also looked awful.
brookbank better not make the team this year. he has been awful, twice getting knocked over by smaller forwards behind the net (first wasn't so much his fault).
salmela looks a lot more composed than he did in his first game, but is still taking the body, and is definitely chomping at the bit to get involved in the offense, trying to get involved in the rush. he's gonna make the team gentlemen.
apart from knocking down an off-balance zherdev, didn't see much from corrente. eckford likewise didn't do anything special.
weekes looks solid. hopefully he can earn 10-15 starts this year to give marty some more rest.
also, as has been noted, the announcing is ridiculous to the point of being distracting. there were more shared opinions in last night's debate. i can't help but imagine barbs flying back and forth during commercial breaks. "shut up, chico." "**** you, buddy" "i hope marty breaks his neck" ::punch to balls::
Tao Jones 09-27-2008, 01:59 PM Wow, just seeing that play Holik made on the Queens arm puts a smile on my face.
Lund-pads is going to get that all season. Watch out mother****er.
Looked like Holik made that play through the NYR defender's arms.
MKWing26 09-27-2008, 01:59 PM Probably not, but he is a top 9. He would be perfect with Pando and Madden. That way he would put up pretty neat numbers too.
That is true, I thought he played well with them when he did briefly last year. Never understood why Sutter broke up that line, to be honest.
And, even though he's on the fourth line, I don't think this is going to be a typical four minutes per night fourth line. I think they'll play closer to eight or nine.
David Puddy 09-27-2008, 02:01 PM But I still don't think that Zubrus should be playing on the 4:th line. He makes too much money and has a large contract. He should have more responsibility and more icetime.Lou Lamoriello has had big contract players play in the AHL. That doesn't really factor into things around here.
I am certainly not saying that I think he should be sent down to Lowell. I think that 3rd Line RW would be a better spot for him unless Clarkson really raises his game.
He also has shown that he can raise his game come playoff time which is a big reason why Lou likely chose him over other guys.He's 3-3 in the playoffs in his career. His greatest claim to fame was against the Devils in 2002. That Devils team struggled to score during the regular season, which led to the trade of Arnott, and the Devils were without Gomez and Sykora could only play every other game. That was also when Weekes was 27.
Devilswede 09-27-2008, 02:02 PM I see Gionta is the same......jeeez...
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 02:02 PM nice play by elias to gionta. gio just didnt finish. at least it didnt go into the Queens chest.
sattar18 09-27-2008, 02:03 PM feds needs to use his teammates better

I don't think he's on the roster today.

I agree.
The Cuban 09-27-2008, 02:06 PM He would be perfect with Pando and Madden.
I agree. I'd like to see Zubrus on that line and Clarkson on the 4th line with Holik and Fedorov/Rupp (preferably Fedorov).
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 02:06 PM Orr is being a big ***** this game.
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 02:07 PM Nice play by Salmela on Drury.
I love the 750 line.
Richer's Ghost 09-27-2008, 02:07 PM Hahaha - Zherdov with a 'lazy' penalty... :laugh:
David Puddy 09-27-2008, 02:07 PM He got the hands. They can't get their stick on the hands.

Austrian Devil 09-27-2008, 02:08 PM Wow. I miss one hour, switch it on and 3-0. Nice.
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 02:08 PM I love you zubrus. Him on the PP is magic. Thank god holik taught him how to take faceoffs.
**** yeah. Elias to Lundqvist is like Dawes to Marty.
The Jersey Devil 09-27-2008, 02:08 PM zuby looks really good out there.

Oduya is really impressing me today.
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 02:11 PM Corrente clearing the crease, i like.
BenedictGomez 09-27-2008, 02:11 PM Anyone else notice Joe Michelletti CONSTANTLY making excuses for the Rangers today?
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 02:12 PM This Redden-Rosival pairing ****ing blows.
fluffernutter mf 09-27-2008, 02:12 PM I keep getting Vrana and Corrente mixed up.

well, he is a ****tard
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 02:13 PM Anyone else notice Joe Michelletti CONSTANTLY making excuses for the Rangers today?
Yep, he just randomly mentioned Girardi being a top 6 defenseman and not being in the lineup today.
britdevil 09-27-2008, 02:13 PM This Redden-Rosival pairing ****ing blows.
:biglaugh:
Any team with a sustained forcheck is going to be all over that pair.

MKWing26 09-27-2008, 02:14 PM Anyone else notice Joe Michelletti CONSTANTLY making excuses for the Rangers today?
Him, Chico and Giannone are the unholy trinity of broadcasting. I could have walked into the Garden this morning and done better. I feel like there has been virtually no play-by-play.
P.S.
Gio finds the net! Goal!!!!
Njdevilsfireonice30 09-27-2008, 02:14 PM WEEKES IS AWESOME

Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 02:16 PM Wasnt the queen supposed to play the whole game?
Awwww i think we hurt his feelings.
LOL, michelleti blaming the Queens problems on "good defense in training camp and not seeing enough shots because of it." Shut the **** up.
sattar18 09-27-2008, 02:16 PM i know its preseason.....but the rangers have most of there lineup in, and we have 4 goals on lundqvist
Richer's Ghost 09-27-2008, 02:16 PM New goalie!!!!!!
:laugh:
BenedictGomez 09-27-2008, 02:16 PM Michellettii: "We all know the Rangers regulars will be better once the regular season starts"
Huh? Why? Why not now? Will the Devils regulars look better too? Please do tell Joe.
fluffernutter mf 09-27-2008, 02:16 PM They're taking Lundy out already? I thought he was just getting warmed up.
Haha, Clemmer's mask still says 40 on the back.
Richer's Ghost 09-27-2008, 02:16 PM How is Zharkov looking?
Lazy.
Just kidding - that's Zherdev.
The Cuban 09-27-2008, 02:16 PM Hahaha! I guess the new pads aren't of much help to the Queen. :laugh:
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 02:17 PM oh now Orr wants to fight. What a tool.
Scottyk9 09-27-2008, 02:18 PM Orr is like the 15 yr old with terrible acne. Loves rejection
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 02:18 PM How is Zharkov looking?
He looks like he has alot of skill. He just needs to keep his head up and make smarter plays. This is his first NA game and he seems to be doing OK, which is really good for me.
Devilswede 09-27-2008, 02:18 PM Orr is such a *****!! He had great chance to fight a rookie when they were down 2-0 and now it's too late. That's why he sucks at his job, he doesn't know when it's the right time to take a fight. What a loser.
The Devils are owning them out there! :)

Only half. Now he's going to sit in the corner as punishment for making dookie in the urinal.

No he was slated to play the entire game. They said it at the start. He just got YANKED.
Marv4Life 09-27-2008, 02:20 PM I wish this game counted.

Devilswede 09-27-2008, 02:23 PM Hahaha. I love how the Swede's are ragging on their fellow countryman. Love it.
Well, I hate the guy. I don't care if he's a Swede. He's a Ranger and that enough for me to hate him with a passion.
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 02:23 PM Rolston has been winning alot of faceoffs today. Nice.
DEVILS ALL THE WAY 09-27-2008, 02:23 PM I come home and what do I see... A 4-0 lead over the Rags !!!
Can anyone tell me who's been impressive so far and who's asn't.
Thanks ;)
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 02:25 PM Brookbank = :facepalm:
Blitz113 09-27-2008, 02:25 PM That's a penalty though because it's the Devils, right Joe?
The Cuban 09-27-2008, 02:25 PM Hahaha. I love how the Swede's are ragging on their fellow countryman. Love it.
Him being from the same country as I am means nothing to me. I hate him to death.
Harrison Ford 09-27-2008, 02:25 PM I like seeing Corrente getting alot of PK time.
britdevil 09-27-2008, 02:25 PM Brookbank sucks.

A-Madden
