AD Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Follow my logic like you follow The Dead, then we'll get somewhere.Cheating is when you gain an unfair advantage over an opponent by breaking the rules, right? When you get caught breaking the rules, you no longer have an advantage; you have a disadvantage. So once you get caught, you're no longer cheating, you're just another victim of the rules.It makes perfect sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You CHEATED. It makes perfect sense to me. Yup, either way you're a CHEAT Just because you got caught doesn't mean you're not a cheater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be the first time I ever tell you that you are awesome. Even the purest of romantics compromise.Ben Johnson would have cheated whether or not he got caught. Was he the victim or the crime? His actions were a crime and he became a victim because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Good 'ol Begin scored a goal and was selected the first star of the game against Carolina on Thursday.Thank you. I saw that as well and tipped my hat to him but I have to be honest.I may not have agreed with the trade at the time but I certainly have warmed up to the Glen Metropolit waiver pickup. That dude is solid on the faceoff (much needed), plays great on the 4th or 3rd line, depending, and is solid upgrade on the penalty kill. He is one smart hockey player and also takes the body. Begin used to try and run guys through the boards but Metro definitely knows how to rub them out and maintain good positioning. Well, that is what I have seen thus far. I'm liking him. Solid player.It now looks like Gainey made the right move. Have a player in the press box or someone who is going to get important minutes?

I haven't watched enough games recently to develop an opinion on Metro. However here is follow-up question: If Gainey fired Carbonneau first, would he still have traded Begin?

Guest Low Roller Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) With Latendresse coming back soon, and Laraque possibly as well, who is going to stay up and who will be going back down to Hamilton? A major clue came from the clear day roster announced by the Bulldogs last week. A player not on the clear day roster cannot participate for the rest of the season and the playoffs. Players in residence can only play if up to three players from the clear day roster are injured, called up, or suspended.Forwards: Mathieu Aubin, Kyle Chipchura, David Desharnais, Mike Glumac, Sergei Kostitsyn, Yannick Lehoux, Ben Maxwell, Max Pacioretty, Ryan Russell, Greg Stewart, Brock Trotter, Ryan WhiteDefencemen: Shawn Belle, Mathieu Carle, Alex Henry, Dan Jancevski, Doug Janik, T.J. Kemp, Yannick Weber, J.T. WymanGoaltenders: Marc Denis, Cedrick DesjardinsPlayers in Residence but not on the Clear Day list: Chad Anderson, Thomas Beauregard, Andrew Conboy, Ryan Flinn, Steve Gainey, Ryan Kinasewich, Olivier Latendresse, Tyler Shelast, Mark Van GuilderIf you notice, Matt D'Agostini did not make this list, whereas Stewart, Pacioretty, and Little Tits did. It can therefore be reasoned that D'Agostini will stay up with the Habs for the rest of the season, otherwise he's in no-man's land.

Guest Low Roller Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Some twisted lines for tomorrow's game:Latendresse OR Tanguay / Koivu / Big TitsDagger / Plex / PaxHiggins / Lapierre / KovyDandy / Metro / StewKosto sits.Tangy has got the Kovy virus, so therefore is an unknown. If he can play then Latendresse will take his place. Otherwise Latendresse sits.Kovy on the 3rd line because Gainey doesn't want to disturb the 2nd line chemistry (WTF?)

TheSloth Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 A point a game ain't enough. If the Sabres and Panthers keep playing the way they're playing then a point a game is more than enough to make the playoffs.The way the standings are now, the Habs are way better off finishing 8th than 7th (but I think the Devils will finish first overall so if that's the case I pity the team that finishes 8th).
