And how does that make you feel?

If he's like me he's sensitive about it, but then again not.   

[Surreylily]

NHL now showing the game FINAL score as 4-3 Washington with no SH goal from Ovie.

Wha...?   Why?

[PUCKNRUSH]

Johnny Q Norris passes Calle Johannsen for all time assist leaders for the Caps!
Happy for him, and happy for the team! BUT......


Alan May, post game, while obviously choosing his words carefully, when it came to describing Carly’s career as a DEFENSEMAN, had plenty of accolades, when talking Carly’s offensive side, but had the unmitigated NERVE, to credit Carly as an “old school, stay at home type, defenseman”!!!


Well smack my ASS, and call me SALLY!!.....Alan May must have got $$$, to really S T R E T C H, that one!!
 I love ya, Alan May, but JEEZ!!  Carlson is not even a “stay at home” Dman in today’s soft-ass NHL!!
More like a “NOT at home” Dman!!
Then you add in “Old school”....... W T F, man!!!


MARK TINORDI, was dependably “stay at home”, AND “Old school”, and that ALWAYS implied “PHYSICAL” too!!


I will agree, yes that Mark Tinordi was a #1 example of these qualities,  so a comparison to other old school/stay at home defenseman of his time would not be fair !


 But John Carlson is the complete, 180°, antithesis, of the type of defenseman you’ve just described him as......You’re going to have to put some heavy anti-inflammatory meds on that long, swelling nose of yours, before Sunday’s game!!😂🤣😂

You lost me.  Not aware of what that means.

Really?       Um,   okay.
It was/is the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the camps.

[ArJunaZ]

Wha...?   Why?

Weird. Still not corrected.

Good point about the penalties.  We were much more disciplined.

Thanks Lil!👍


Happy for your UK’s overall future, as well! $$(hopefully)
(Just realized that should be ££, not $$)!😁
(Damn, and “realized”, should be “realised”)!😁

Everywhere I look on the NHL website it shows the final score 4-3 WSH, but there are news stories about Ovies 695th goal.

It was the first time in his career that Ovechkin scored 11 goals in a five-game stretch.

[4 Caps]

I sometimes wonder if I am watching the same game as some of you guys.??
I thought after the first, we were lazy and disinterested.  I thought our D was pretty poor tonight and lacksadaisical.   I thought we took too much for granted and we paid for it a couple of times and rightly so.  Sloppy passes, no fight for the puck, loose or otherwise.  Meh.  Dialled it in and nearly lost it because of that attitude.  That 4 minute major at the end saved our skins.
Well, not Eller's, obviously....

HUGELY happy for and about Ovi.   

Lil, that is pretty much how I saw it too.  I thought we let up after we got the early lead.  The effort just wasn’t there. 

[Surreylily]

Ha ha ha!  Yeah.  We never did give up our dosh.  £££ Sterling darling.   
And still a shilling to buy a horse.   

[ArJunaZ]

Even stranger.  I went to see the score of the Penguins game and it said the Final was 3-3 against the Flyers.

ETA
And now it shows the correct score for both games, but Ovies 2nd goal is still not listed.

That’s a cool stat for Ovi! Thanks AJ!


 FYI, I’ve seen the NHL website take over 12 hours to correct something! And this wasn’t even a LATE game!
Probably some weak, little, millennial, with a sophomore, “journalism”, internship at Comcast, or Monumental!😂🤣


“Ya got a bright future, youngin’!!😂🤣
It was only OVI, passing another milestone, amongst the greatest to ever play the game, No worries”!


“Now don’t go making any plans in the near future, to move out of your parents basement anytime soon, you MOVER and SHAKER, You!!” 😂🤣😂

And how does that make you feel?

actually, quite sensitive

Somebody need a hug?

horses are cheap, I've almost bought a horse or two, what turned me off was pricing out feed and board

this, and the NHL has never been quick to admit any success of the Caps organization

[Surreylily]

I thought you were happy to be free of the  EU.  Farage has been doing all he can to protect the UK in the EU parliament.  I don't remember any time that he thought they were a good thing.  His role as he saw it was to mitigate the damage.

ETA
Just because he was representing in the EU parliament doesn't mean he was supportive of the EU.  Would you rather have had a sellout representing your interests?


I apologize for the political posts in this thread, but it has been an historic day in the UK, and for the world.

I watched that clip that you posted.  Thanks for that.
If you want to discuss this more, I would suggest going over to the "dark forest" of the other side.  (ie. not the hockey stream)
Before that though, I would strongly suggest that you look into Nigel Farrage's past, both personal and political.  Xpecifically regarding his connections and affiliations to recent,  (10 years or so ) , Neo Nazi parties, both in the UK and abroad.

Horses are boughht for Guineas.   I'm pretty sure I've spelled that wrong.....

LOL!   Me thinks maybe you watch too much mainstream news.  All of America's patriots are also called Nazi's over here, including every older white man that is not actively trying to destroy the country.  (<sneeze> Demonrats . . . )   I assume you mean UKIP, who has been your friend. If memory serves, Farage has played a large role in that organization and deserves credit for righting the ship of state in spite of the mainstream that bashed him relentlessly.

Granted, I have not lived there in more than 20 years, but I've kept watch.  I rarely get to see the dark side, which may be the opposite side of what you think, in their daily attacks, but I have placed a lot of attention on people like Farage, Lord Monckton, and others resisting the globalist lies. Like the USA, you guys have come right up to the brink of globalism disaster and were granted a glorious reprieve.

Now is the time to get behind these people who have the prosperity of the people as their main motive.  Neo-Nazi??  I think not!


ETA
BTW, that clip was originally posted by Alta over on the The Calm Before The Storm thread.

We should move this political conversation over to that thread from here on.  I posted another great video of the EU parliament over there.

no shit
