AIM-11

I always root for Michigan State.  Coach Izzo statistically is the biggest overperformer in College Basketball.  Always gets his team up for the tournament, no matter who they are.  Was sad to see them get utterly crushed by Duke, but not surprised.  My hunch is Duke wins the Championship in a game that's not as close as people would like, but I don't like Duke, so I'd like to be wrong.

Looks like I win this no matter who wins the Championship.  There is no defeating artificial intelligence.

Yeah he could be in the running as the greatest goalscorer ever, considering the era he plays in and what he's done.  Not strong enough in some other areas to compete with the top tier of players all time though I don't think.  Like I said, he has time still to do some great things.  Would love to see the Capitals win a Cup this year.

Ovi could go down as the greatest winger of all time.

At first I wanted to write this off as crazy talk, but then I got to thinking... who else would I say is better?  Keep in mind, I have two Ovechkin jerseys - I LOVE him as a player.

Guy Lafleur, Jaromir Jagr, Gordie Howe, and Teemu Selanne are all guys who are still far ahead of him at this point.  We'll see what happens down the road though. If he can get his team a Stanley Cup or two then it'll go a long way towards getting him into that territory.  Right now he's in that tier with guys like Luc Robitaille, Bobby Hull, and maybe Mike Bossy (because of injuries)

Looks like no suspension for Burrows.  Maggie the Monkey must have spun the wheel of justice a slightly different way this morning. No matter, he'll be suspended next year again because he can't help himself.  Biting Bergeron, tried to castrate Marc Staal ... Emelin, McDonagh .. the list goes on.  Aside from Matt Cooke and Patrick Kaleta, there are few players who are more dangerous and putrid than Burrows. 

I like how you link the gif as if I hadnt already seen the play 15 times.  Not much point in arguing about this.  The ref got it right in my opinion.  Probably doesn't need more of a suspension (though I won't be shocked if there is one), but it's just another thing in the long list of stuff that Burrows done.  The guy is an effective player many times, but he is incapable of turning off 'ball hockey douche mode'.

Not a fan of it, but not a big deal and the new lottery rules next year will totally render the strategy useless.

Dumbass night tonight in the NHL.  I love Byfuglien, but what a boneheaded gross play.  Nothing defensible about that play,

And then Burrows cementing his reputation as the Grade A puke that he is.  Digging deep into his ball hockey days for that move tonight.  Not surprised Canucks fans trying to defend Burrows, he could Dany Heatley someone into the afterlife while drunk and they would say it was the ref's fault.

Watched Fury. 7/10 due to a strong cast but a pretty vanilla story.

I recently watched American Beauty for the first time as well.  8.5/10 for me.  Spacey is a genius.  Story was kind of strange, but I liked it.

Pretty much bang on Sandro. 8.5 and much of the same feedback with me. The one thing that really bothered me though was the massive plot hole in the movie that I couldn't quite get over.  Don't want to spoil it for anyone so won't mention much more, but wish I had seen it in Imax as well.  Last movie I saw in Imax was Gravity and it was an amazing film to see in that format - up there with the best movie 'experiences' I have ever had.

WIsh I at least had the emotional energy to even care about the Oilers.  The Canucks might be an also ran when it comes to the Cup, but at least they are going to provide their manic fanbase with some playoff hockey. 

I've even lost any excitement about the draft lottery these days - yeah it's become that bad!

Spartans gonna lay some hurt on some teams.

What an idiot. 

Carey Price is so amazing.  He's dragging me to victory in a couple fantasy hockey leagues!

It's like how an abusive parents treats their kid.

Parent:  "You can have a choice of anything you want for supper tonight dear."

Child: "I'd like tomato soup please."

Parent:  "You fucking ingrate - HOW DARE YOU ASK FOR THAT!"

Sandro is like a Jehovah's Witness in his cultic scripted Canucks responses. 

Okay just because he asked for a trade from a team he wanted to leave does not make him a bad person. Many other players have done the same thing as to what he did.

Kesler was a bloody god in Vancouver until he left and then suddenly they demonize him.  It's hilariously Canuckian.

Haha, what is that?  Never seen that gif before.

Just grind your way up to 400 TPE, then retire.  Lather, rinse, repeat, and eventually you can become a Welfare lifer.  That's my plan.  I always lose interest in doing Articles about 300 points into a career.

 

Horvat's a way better human tho

Give him some time.  He's new to the Canucks.  He'll figure out how to be a Vancouver player soon enough.
