The Sidney Crosby/ Evgeni Malkin show

Love them or hate them, Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have been two of the most enertaining boys to ever watch in the NHL. Definitly the supreme duo in the NHL today. Crosby and Malkin have already put up big numbers this season(especially Crosby) as much as I would hate to say it, I would love to see Crosby get the Art Ross trophy, as Malkin recieves the Calder trophy. What are these two heros going to bring to this franchise? well I would say they are going to give the league one heck of a run!

This talk of drafting reminded me of a previous discussion about next years hockey pool drafting system, different ideas were presented but I want to know what you the poolies/viewers think about this. I'm anxious to see the results and hope for some feedback so I can make the people happy.


How should we run the pool draft?
Draft by the computers random selection
Draw numbers for draft positions
Draft according to this years final league standing (last goes first, first goes last)
Free polls from Pollhost.com

BREAKING NEWS!

Well poolies, we have encountered yet another beginning of an interesting chapter tonight. Owner of the BeLEAFers was having an "arguement" with the owner of Team Awesome, this battle was over the NHL players currently on the team owned by Jacob Ebbett. If you can remember earlier this year, Ebbett lost all privelages and was suspended from the league for what was said to be the year, and thats what we believed up to now. Here is the heated discussion between Roy and Haines

"by the way, i think we might just draft jacobs team " - Roy

"I dont like that idea at all, i would rather not draft them teams" - Haines

"jacobs team because it isnt going anywhere, jacob suggested it, the lower teams need help and this would do it, im just tryin to work to everyones advantage" - Roy

"I would say if you wanna crack that way, the bottom 3 teams get them,Or you know what, i would like to lift Jacobs susension, he has been really good about things" - Haines

"indeed, that could be considered, but in the case of a draft i cant distribute to only three teams, those bottom teams get top and prime selection, i consider that fair, just a thought .. Ive gotta go, but we will be talking about Jacobs suspension a little later" - Roy

"ok sounds good commish, have a good night" - Haines

Interesting or what? Well poolies, this is where our weekly pool comes in, and we need the ultimate in participation from all you fans. Please vote now on whether Jacob Ebbett and the Dam Beavers should be brought back into the HPIBC league. Please state your reasons WHY or WHY NOT he should be aloud back into the league, VOTE NOW! then support your vote with a comment in the comments section ... THANK YOU!

Game 4 - LEAFS @ CANADIENS

It is indeed the biggest and most enertaining battling rivalries in the NHL. Both teams are coming into this game with decent records, one team currently hotter then the other. The habs are coming of a game loss but thats nothing compared to the Leafs, who has lost their last 3 games, ever since Mats Sundin has returned to the lineup. That confuses me, as well as many other hockey fans. The Leafs won the last meeting with authority as they defeated the Canadiens in a score of 5-1. The leafs were dominant that game as they outshot the Habs an outstanding 42-26. Abeschier was pulled in the 3rd period after the 4th goal. Aubin was pressured but was only scored on once by captain Saku Koivu. Montreal has not started Cristobal Huet against the Leafs yet, as well as the Leafs have not started Andrew Raycroft against the Canadians. Who will be the starting goalies for Saturday nights big game? Here are the highlights to the last Habs-Leafs game, the only one that never seen shootout this season.

What Has The Results Of The LEAFS-CANADIENS Rivalry Been Like?

2005-2006 NHL SEASON RESULTS

What Grinds My Gears. Volume 1 Issue #3

Gutless, sore losing hockey fans. These people just make me steam, you know the ones, the fans that have so much to say about their team and their team is good all the time and completely untouchable, until they lose. Then comes the side of the fan that won't show his face, hangs his head in shame and hopes that he doesn't have to endure any taunting. Unfortunately the taunting has to be expected, the more pride, the bigger the fall. These are the people that will either try their hardest to avoid any opposing fans after a loss because they cant handle it, or just flat out deny that their team was outplayed. Us UNB faithfuls had to endure this last night. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not cutting down all STU fans, I haven't met them all, but this guy was the loudest and most obnoxious guy I've met to date. His team would reign supreme and losing was not an option to him. Now I don't mind loud obnoxious fans, I can be one, but its when you can't face the facts when your team starts losing. This STU fan had so much to say about his Tommies and no one could shut him up, until UNB scored. Once the first goal came he didn't have the guts to even acknowledge us for a good 30 minutes of play. Then the second goal, shamed once more, and a third, still, a solid silence came from him. Then, near the end of the game, loud returned to him but in a less productive way. He got whiney and moaned about it a little and pretty much all but cried. Not to say it was completely without provocation. I'll say we may have been a little more obnoxious than we needed to be and I'll be the first to admit it, but my point is solid. The fans that talk the talk, need to learn to walk the walk. If you talk em up when they play good, you have to be able to take their struggle in stride. If not, just keep your trap shut and watch the game.

The Analysis Volume 1 Issue #2 *BATTLE OF THE HILL SPECIAL EDITION 1*

STU vs. UNB, The Battle of the Hill. Who will reign supreme on this night? The final answer, UNB by a score of 3-0. The Game was well played in the first period, STU seemed to have the advantage for the better part of the period. UNB's passing was absolutely toxic and STU caught them everytime. To the benefit of the V-Reds, Ouzaz kept them in it with some stellar saves. UNB managed to squeak out of period 1 ahead by a goal. Then came the second when UNB up and decided it was time to play some serious hockey. There was no massive offensive explosion but they killed a long 5-3 penalty and many other penalties rendering STU's powerplay completely useless. UNB played an excellent shorthanded game on this night. They arrived at a score of 2-0 by the end of the second despite phenomenal efforts between the STU goalposts. The third was when the game just ran away from the Tommies, the V-Reds had managed to wear this power house team down to the rims and just walked all over them in the third period. With another single goal, UNB tied this one up in a pretty little box in the third. The V-Reds played a worthy game and as a result handed the Tommies their first loss in the past 8 games and have become the only team to shut STU out this season. As good as it was to see STU humbled at the hands of UNB, I still must say that the whole game was officiated in a rather poor manner. There were calls missed on both sides, penalties that should have been called and weren't. Calls were made on both sides when the whole crowd was left scratching their heads and wondering where the penalty was. It was pure Mick Magough style officiating on a minor league level. Fortunately UNB was able to walk off the bad calls a little better than STU, played a better game, and ultimately, came out on top. The Battle of The Hill will return again this season, in the end who will be crowned King of the Hill? We will have to wait and see. It should be interesting.

THE HOCKEY NEWS
Well, This issue of the hockey news was pretty good if you like the new shootout addition to the NHL. In this issue it tells you what the players logic is to score the big goal, and the logic that the goalie uses to make the final save of the game and win an "Intense Shootout". This magazine explains and shows the satistics of who scores the most goals by nationality, and where the puck is often aimed for.

NHL Inside Locker Room Names

I though this was pretty cool stuff, so I decided I would be nice and show it you guys! ... This post is about something that they call a Anagram. An anagram is just simply taking an NHL players name and switch it all around using all the letters in their name. Here are a few made by the NHL players in the locker room.

Christopher Higgins - 'The Crop Is Rising High'
Sidney Crosby- 'Nerdy Ice Boss'
Eric Lindros- 'Rile Nordics
Anson Carter- 'Corner Satan'
Martin Straka- 'Smart At A Rink'
Dominik Hasek - 'OK, Hide In Mask'

Now that you know what this is, can you make up names for other hockey players using all the letters in their names?

FINAL THOUGHT - Who Is 'Me Idiot'? If you know, make the comment.

HINT: EVERYONE KNOWS WHO THIS FORMER HOCKEY PLAYER WAS!

What Grinds My Gears. Volume 1 Issue #2 *SPECIAL EDITION*

The Date: November 12, 2007.The game: UdeM Vs. UNB. The officials: Retarted.
This game really, really made my gears grind, the officiating was absolutely terrible, it is rivaled only by that of Mick Magough. The teams both came out on a tear and played with excellent speed and agility, right out of the gate it was proving to be a crowd pleaser win or lose. Low and behold the Referee's wouldn't have it. Calls all over the place, out of 15 I'd say that 2 were legitimate. Then of course, out of 30 missed calls they may have made 5 good ones. (UNB+Check from behind=Game misconduct)*(UdeM+Check from behind=No call)= Referee's getting a lift home with UdeM. This game was called so incredibly one sided it would make Bob Gainey swear like a sailor. Both teams played phenomenally and the goaltending was unheard of from a neutral view I'd say that UNB outplayed UdeM for the majority of the game but when you play half the game shorthanded because of missed calls or penalties that don't really exist, it really kills momentum and makes it near impossible to pull a win out. This is not the only time this has happened either, the officiating has been absolutely terrible in the past few UNB home games, I would personally request that certain referees be removed from the league and be bumped down to the little leagues. It is games like those that make me an angry and violent person, I believe that those refs need a very hard kick in the jaw to smarten them up. The game ended in a UdeM victory and both the game winner and the security goal were scored shortly after a very obvious penalty by UdeM that the officials just oddly decided not to call. Myself and every other UNB fan in the house was absolutely livid, ticked beyond all reasonable mention. The game was a disgrace to the sport of hockey and completely botched. I would go as far as seeing it fit to have all three officials removed permanently from CIS league hockey. I can honestly say that that was the worst hockey game I have ever witnessed all due to the officiating. I am severely disappointed and deeply saddened by this abysmal display of clownish, foolish refereeing

Sorry, but it's bugging me

What to do with Crosby and Malkin?
Keep them off the same line, spread talent, spread
Put them back together!! At least they won some games!
Send Malkin back to Russia
It's a win/lose situation

What Grinds My Gears. Volume 1 Issue #1

Every week I will answer that question anew and bring to your attention something in the hockey world that really grinds my gears, ticks me off, makes me steam. This week I have to say the thing that ground my gears was the disallowed goal in the Phoenix-Dallas game. The break away was clean, the deke phenomenal, the shot excellent, the goalie beat, and the goal......Called back? The whole play was completely clean Sanderson had Turco beat 9 ways from Tuesday and everyone agreed, it was a goal...A pretty one to boot. But wait!! The replay was shown up on the jumbotron and something caught the eye of Dallas' coach. That puck didn't enter the net, it didn't cross the line, it drilled the crossbar...Without as much as a *tink* *clink* or *ding*. Impossible, right, he's making this up...That's what I thought. But when I saw the replay it did indeed hit the crossbar and was obviously not a goal. My problem is this: The "goal" was not contested until well after it was "scored" and everyone, officials, players, fans, coaches, and goalies alike, were sure that that puck went in. Therefore, the puck should have been dropped promptly and it wasn't, I want to know why. Had it been dropped when it was supposed to have been dropped, the goal would have stood, yes it would have been a terrible mistake on the part of the referee, but none the less it should have stood. Everyone would have cried for a little while but we all would have gotten over it. This is why I hate video goal judging. If the officials on the ice agree that it is a legitimate, legal goal, then let their word stand, don't bring in video replays to try and prove them wrong because one loudmouth decided to whine about it. I say, its the Ref's word or bust, if they make a mistake...Suck it up, princess.

The Analysis Volume 1 Issue #1

Teams: Montreal Vs. Toronto; Score: 5-1 in favor of the Leafs; Series: 2-1(of 8) for Toronto
Tonight again, proves a sad sad truth in Montreal, they never leave you guessing why they lost; they make it just as obvious as Crosby's talent. Tonight it was a classic problem, not that both teams didn't play well, when at even strength Montreal and Toronto both played worthy games, dare I say that the Habs had the majority of the "good times" during even strength play. Alas, the problem was this: Those rough and tumble Montrealers just couldn't keep their sticks, or attitudes, to themselves. This put them in a pile of penalty trouble and left them shorthanded for the majority of the second period and a good chunk of the first. 2 five on three powerplays for the leafs lead to two powerplay goals. Some excellent even strength play, some shaky goaltending by David Aebischer, and some defensive mistakes by the habs lead to the other three goals. Not to say I'm blaming this game on the goalie, but tonight just didn't seem to be his night, it wasn't there, he wasn't getting the help he needed and he got frustrated, things just weren't clicking for Dave tonight. So they'll take the loss in stride and use it as an educational opportunity. Sheldon Sourray would say the very same, you can't win games when you hang out in the box.

Crosby and Malkin say Good-Bye


Not only do they say good-bye to eachother, from being on each others line, but they say good-bye to any chance of making the play-offs, winning games, and getting any more points. Crosby is saying good-bye to starting lineup. Malkin is saying good-bye to ever having a streak of a goal every game, ever again. Why?? Because Apparently Michel Therrien doesn't like winning. Apparently, he must miss the losing feeling of last year. Well I'm sorry But I don't! I was happy with the winning streak we had going! And now what do we come back to a 5 game winning streak? A 5 game losing streak! I know some people don't understand patterns, but when you win 5 games with two guys on the same line, YOU DON'T MESS THAT UP! And even if for one game you wanted to test it, once you lose that game and then the next one, obviously, one corse of action is better! And I know I may just be a 15 year old girl and you are a 42 year old guy with 14 years of head coaching behind you, but I'm smart enough to recognize patterns, and I know you're not stupid. So, unless you're goal is to come in last or next to last AGAIN , then seriously: Crosby+Malkin= Success.

OUCH!


Tucker Hits Sami Kapanen

This was most likely the HARDEST and most BRULTALIST hits in the playoffs of 2002. It was the Leafs vs Flyers game 7, in OT, and just a few moments after the hit, Jeremy Roenik put away the Leafs and kicked them out of yet another playoffs.

WHAT A HIT BY DARCY TUCKER!

As A Team

I like that little comment you left Christian and it inspired my "column" more like.. weekly post, or whenever I want to post, at least once a week! Anyway, I'm just throwing out some ideas for mine not sure yet but I think I will do one of the teams the group of us like (Pittsburgh, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Ottawa or another team of my choice, or possibly by popular demand)

So, thats all about that, and all I have to say now is Go Penguins!! Just play nicely, without getting penalties and you'll be fine. Power Play for the Sharks will not be good for us!!!

Go Crosby! Woot :)

UNB Destroys Tigers!

VREDS {VS} TIGERS

Tonight UNB gave the Dalhousie Tigers a night that they will want to forget, and forget fast. The Reds outshot the Tigers 42-15 so that just gives you a little clue to how the game was played. UNB scored 20 seconds into the game as they left the 1st period up 3-2. After 2, they were up 6-2. And the game finished off 8-2 for the final. The Reds next game is tomorrow night as the Reds will have game 2 of their weekend, against the STFX X-Men.

I am going to give an impartial look back and analysis of the Saturday night hockey games as often as is possible for me. I hope to make it every Saturday night after the game. So there, I just thought I'd drop this little note to let you, my fellow bloggers, in on my plans for the following weeks. Hope you enjoy.

LEAFS vs HABS!

This is the newest issue of "The Hockey News" ... Gotta Love The Cover


Tonight, was a very special night again at the Gilberts house. This was game 2 at the house and both of them have been outstanding fun! game one was of course the Leafs against the Flames, which reslulted in a 5-4 Leafs win in Overtime. and tonight was the one of the biggest, if not the biggest rivalries in hockey today. Yes, it was indeed the Leafs taking on the Habs in Montreal. This game was great one and went straight down to the wire, where the Leafs pulled out what I would like to call a lucky shoot-out win. The final score was 5-4 in favor of the Leafs in SO/OT. The next game between these two rivals is on November.11. in Toronto, so we will be looking forward to the rematch between these two atlantic division rivals! ... We also look forward to seeing the rematch of a new rivalry, "Christian Haines vs Alex Roy". For more information on that, ask one of the people who were at Lily's house for the game. Oh and, just to let you know Alex, this was nothing personal, were still big buddies right? I don't need to be punished, I forgot that I was messing with the commisioner of the HPIBC pool! haha .. No im joking we all had a great time, I look forward to doing this again another time. Tonight, we all went home as true winners!

Jacob Ebbet Most Hated, Now A Criminal?

Yes all poolies with an exception of one person sais that Jacob Ebbett is the most hated person in this HPIBC pool. The Dam Beavers owner had 8 votes against him while the beLEAFers had one vote against them. So the real question was, why is the most hated person, the most hated person? well in recent news we can answer that rather quickly.

Commisioner Alex Roy & Office memebers Lily Gilbert & Christian Haines had a discussion about Jacob's actions as of late, here is what was the out come of the discussion...

"Jacob, consider yourself shut up. You have officially been suspended for one week based on unsportsmanlike conduct. It has been discussed among the office members and we believe that this is the best course of action to take. Your suspension begins Monday october 30 and will remain in effect until the following monday.You may contact myself or others in the league if you feel that you need to be told what you have done to constitute unsportsmanlike conduct."

-Alex Roy/Commisioner/GM Team Awesome

You may ask why is Jacob being suspended? Well this may have a little bit to do with is ... "message from GOD"

by: Dam Beavers (jacob_ebbett)

"christian is a huge cheater and so is alex...if any body cared that they are cheating...jacob only tried to make things fare..he told me that christian wouldn't give him a straight answer but christian "wanna be the great one"haines stands by his trades as fare but not jacobs...now that jacob is out in front i think he will win it all BECAUSE...he got players based on what there going to do this year not last year...thats how you win dumbass..i'm not an idiot...the only reason you hate me is because i knows more about hockey than you guys do...now that i think about it...its unfair for you guys to have to face an opponent as good as him"
- Jacob Ebbett/GM Dam Beavers

Now, Do You Think Jacob Is Getting What He Deserves?

Is The League Doing The Right Thing In Suspending Jacob Ebbett 1 Week For Unsportsmanlike Conduct?

YES! NO!
