Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
I guess a stick to the mouth where it takes out two of your teeth when theres no play at all going on around you is cool in your league. McSorleys high stick against Brashear should have just been a 2 minute then because I didnt see any blood.

Did you seriously just compare it McSorely on Brasher? That is absolutely retarded. Is this just residual mad over the Perry suspension?
It isn't okay, the refs fucked up. It isn't a suspendable play though.
Its just the NHL being inconsistent on their reviews/suspensions. The Perry hit was a bad hit, but 4 games? Just look at the Lupul suspension today. 2 games for someone who has no prior reviews or suspensions? Thats fucking stupid.
When you hit someone blatantly in the face like that with no play around at all, then look at every official to see if they called it, it should be reviewed.
Look at this hit on Fowler, which didnt get a suspension for some reason. Seems like it met all the requirements for one. Hit from behind and an injured (9 games) player.

Ugh, Wings have to take on the Mighty Ducks tonight.
EDIT - Also I don't understand why every time puck goes in net, it isn't reviewable... a split second decision by ref decides whether play can be reviewed? And if they go one way, no review? Stupid. Play was already stopped. And almost every other goal opportunity gets reviewed now... why have any outliers?

That's the second time in as many years Nash gets away with a suspendable hit. Why is he immune I wonder? That's a fucking flying leap from behind targeting the head.. what other reason do you need to call a hearing?

Damn Caps...fucking with my head. Absolutely beat the shit out of the Jets back to back nights. I'll miss them not being in our division next year. If they're going to fool around like this they better keep winning so we don't end up keeping Ribs only to fall short of the playoffs and watch him walk for nothing when Mcphee doesn't pony up the money to re-sign him.

Pretty good article here:

And some bullshit about Nash
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-pu...2216--nhl.html
This league is out to kill itself, isn't it? Allow a lockout, to kill the momentum in ratings, fuck around with the rules, to piss off the GMs and the players, be inconsistent in enforcing said rules. Just ridiculous.

Is the line of Kadri Kessel and van Riemsdyk the ugliest line of hockey players in the NHL or what?

Get to see if the Caps can continue their hot streak against the Rangers tonight. Win and playoff chances becoming sorta real again, lose and it's just another blown chance to get back into the race. Trade deadline is less than 2 weeks away, time to figure out what we're going to do with Ribs.

Trying to channel Guerin from the Cup run. Caps squeak out a shootout win against the Rags. For all the talk of shootout specialists in Ribs and Hendricks, it was the tried and true getting it done both in the game and in the shootout. Ovechkin and Backstrom each 1+1 and a shootout goal.

Just by the way, anyone know which team has the longest win streak this season? Is it Chicago? It's probably Chicago, I mean they won all those games and Aray was all jizzing in to his keyboard after every one. They definitely have the longest winning streak, you'd like like a real asshole doing that if your team didn't.
