vasicek has been screwing us hardcore with his fucking penalties

6/16/2006 1:18:21 AM

Joe hasn't been any more useful than during the season. His contract won't be renewed, I'd think.

At least LaRose will hustle and hit people.

6/16/2006 1:28:19 AM

'tis a shame.

big Joe used to actually score goals. I was there for game 5 against NJ in 2002 when he scored the game winner in OT.

6/16/2006 1:39:26 AM

He fucking ROOFED that thing.

There was also a natty hat trick against San Jose that was pretty sweet.

Joe Vasicek was the Canes' #1 scorer last season. *sigh*

6/16/2006 1:43:02 AM

he played well the last two games, i agree he sucked before that he didnt really play that well when he had the four point game but he has definately improved over the last two games. big joe, cullen and whitney were playing great

6/16/2006 1:44:36 AM

so weight rechi ward and wesley are all hurt...?

6/16/2006 1:46:20 AM

probably - but we're not going to know how badly

6/16/2006 1:53:51 AM

if this shit comes back to raleigh for game 7, i think we're fucked

6/16/2006 1:56:33 AM

we've got a good shot at either winning up there or in g7

6/16/2006 1:58:40 AM

i agree we have a good shot. But if we lose up there....its 3-3 comin back to raleigh after we were up 3-1....think of the confidence edmonton will have.....

I just hope if it does get back to game 7, we close it out like that Rangers team did in the early 90's that was up 3-1 and had to win it in 7

6/16/2006 2:01:03 AM

we've been in tougher spots.....like after going down 2-0 against montreal and then finding ourselves in OT where one goal could put us down 3-0.

and the confidence of the oil can always work against them.

i thought Joe has played well and even layed a few hit in game 4, he has done a good job of stretching the D and might do a great job creating space for Whitney and Recchi if Weight were not be able to dress

6/16/2006 2:07:39 AM

^ You traitor!

Note that Joe only stretches the D because the other guys on his line won't pass to him...a factor that was pointed out to me by therooster himself.

6/16/2006 2:09:41 AM

I said he might create the space. I can see the potential there. If Ray would let him collect a little garbage out front or if Mark Recchi ever passed, who knows what could happen. Besides Laviolette said Weight is playing, so its a non issue

6/16/2006 8:22:56 AM

Now every time I see their "Whatever it takes" motto I think to myself... "even if it's another couple of years"

6/16/2006 8:53:09 AM

^ if that is what "it takes"

6/16/2006 8:59:19 AM

If it takes a couple of years, 96.1 The Cup is screwed.

6/16/2006 12:12:02 PM

96Rock is generic as all get out, I like the sound of 96 the Cup much better

6/16/2006 1:48:53 PM

"Protecting men's genitalia since 1997... 96 rock!"

6/16/2006 2:17:47 PM

so, i take it the rbc center is open to watch game 6?

[Edited on June 16, 2006 at 4:39 PM. Reason : correction, 6]

6/16/2006 4:38:36 PM

Weight's out--im guessing a dislocated shoulder from the way he came off the ice

http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/playoffs2006/news/story?id=2487410

6/16/2006 4:41:52 PM

its time for willaims to give pronger a stick to the eye

6/16/2006 5:07:49 PM

I just watched the replay and saying it was equally staal's fault is bullshit. someone said staal should have sat back and played D instead of swatting at it, but that is just retarded, even in hindsight. it was a race to the loose puck from the awful stillman mistake, and staal hit it, but we just got an unlucky bounce off pisani rather than it going past him which is what would happen like 3 or 4 out of 5 times

6/16/2006 5:55:48 PM

I really don't have a good feeling about game 6.

Some article said rolo was back too.

6/16/2006 6:01:07 PM

Markkanen has played well enough for them.

I don't think they'd put a 50% Roloson in goal instead of him.

6/16/2006 6:14:29 PM

thing i read said roloson skated but will not play

6/16/2006 7:23:57 PM

T - 24 hrs

4 - 2 canes.

thats right. it will be over.

6/16/2006 8:26:56 PM

i agree

6/16/2006 8:31:31 PM

of course. i am the most accurate game caller.

the D will be banged, and yes weight will be gone, but our forwards are gonna be stars, and our centerman are gonna play some good D.

staal, stillman, whitney and brina'mour score.

[Edited on June 16, 2006 at 8:38 PM. Reason : 523]

6/16/2006 8:37:33 PM

How is your defense going to be weak?

You know that Weight is a center, right?

6/16/2006 8:41:56 PM

peter lav, to quote EXACTLY from weds

"our D is banged up .... bruised..."

do you even know what a center is?

It's Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

There isn't a person on the ice who isn't somehow fucked up.

6/16/2006 8:52:48 PM

our D, they are are shot blockers. they are substantially more fucked up then our offense.

6/16/2006 8:54:40 PM

Way to go Beckett you stupid fucks

6/16/2006 9:31:12 PM

That calls for a photoshop with Truman.

^great work, that being said, I hope I never see it after today

6/17/2006 10:22:35 AM

T - 8 hrs

6/17/2006 11:59:47 AM

I DON'T BERRIEVE!

god damnit canes better win tonight after watching that shithole of a reffed world cup game!

[Edited on June 17, 2006 at 4:54 PM. Reason : a]

6/17/2006 4:54:25 PM

Mr. Magoo reffing tonight?

6/17/2006 5:21:45 PM

for those that watched on tv, what happened when the oiler tackled a cane right off the draw sometime 3rd pd and the refs acted like they'd call a penalty but then didn't?

they didn't really explain it at all to people at the game

[Edited on June 17, 2006 at 5:25 PM. Reason : fds]

6/17/2006 5:25:11 PM

Whose going to the rbc center tonight? I know i am !! Let's get that cup canes!!!!

6/17/2006 5:40:47 PM

I am, what time are you going? I think we're going in about an hour, do a little tailgating, then go to watch, it's first come first serve with the seats right? also I'm assuming they sell beer still

6/17/2006 5:44:49 PM

i like how mac T was all up on the penalties....bc we have the special teams advantage, he thinks calling the game tight is the league's way of insuring the canes win
