Friday Morning Coffee- Hey, Fat Ass...

Is it the major focus of this game? No, even though a lot of press will be made of it. You can't help but talk a little about the first meeting between Roberto Luongo and the Canucks with Dustin Byfuglien since game 6 of the 2nd round of the NHL playoffs last season. I like the message that this sends, starting Luongo. This entire season has been about showing a Canucks team unlike any they've seen before. Why not send a message to the guy who for the last couple years has manipulated refs and thrown our goalie off his game. I've always believed Byfuglupagus to be more hype than anything else: a large, physical player with the soul of a rat. Very willing to bump, hack, slash and facewash you, but never willing to back it up. And as much as it would be satisfying to see the Chicago Blackhawks miss the playoffs, I do get a kick out of this schmuck (and his obnoxious pal Andrew Ladd) having to toil away in the perpetually half empty rink in Atlanta. Bitter? Sure. But it goes away with every victory that we get closer to the goal, and tonight we let him know he can't fuck with us anymore.
No, the true focus is two more points, and edging closer to their first President's trophy and home ice advantage throughout the playoffs. It looked for a while like the additions of Byfuglugnoihdothoitthfrritz and Ladd were going to help the Thrashers make the playoffs for just the 2nd time in franchise history. Emanuel Lewis' oversized doppelganger was scoring goals as a defenceman and was an allstar, and Ladd's had a career year. In the end, they were still the Thrashers and have faded like they do every year. So let's get in there, rattle off a win, and for gawds sake, punish that fat bastard if he so much as breathes on Luongo.
It will be interesting to see if Daniel Sedin can extend his scoring lead over brother Henrik and Steven Stamkos tonight. Dank sits 7 in front of Hank and 9 in front of Stamkos, who's been as cold lately as he was hot earlier in the year. Corey Perry is keeping pace, and now sits 1 behind Stamkos in the Rocket Richard race. There's been some talk of Perry being a leading contender for the Hart, which is a tad premature. Shouldn't people wait and see if the Anaheim Ducks even make the playoffs before such discussion? And the same goes for Jonathan Toews. The Hawks are hardly a lock.
Fried Egg and Cheese Sandwich
Talk about games that didn't live up to their hype, that mess of a game between Boston and Montreal last night was painful to watch. Possibly the most embarrassing loss for the Habs since Patrick Roy's last in a Montreal uniform, they couldn't possibly have been more passive and disinterested. It seemed like they had no real game plan, and after a couple quick goals went into shutdown mode and just let the Bruins have their way. I would fire coach Jacques Martin over that if I were running that show. How could you possibly have confidence in your coaching staff heading into the playoffs when they absolutely nothing to try and stop the bleeding there? Pathetic... If Anaheim misses the playoffs, chances are they will look back on last night's loss as one that sealed their fate. Spotting Nashville, a team more known for defensive prowess 5 goals is never a good idea. Jonas Hiller looked shaky in his return to the Ducks lineup after vertigo problems. He gave up 3 goals on 9 shots, and you have to wonder if the Ducks wouldn't have been better served by sending Hiller for a conditioning stint for a game or two instead of throwing him back into the fire... Speaking of big wins, how about the Toronto maple Leafs moving to within 3 points of the 8th place Buffalo Sabres last night with a 4-3 win over the Colorado Avalanche? 2 goals from Nikolai Kulemin and a 3rd period PPG from Phil Kessel led the way, as James 'Optimus Reim' Reimer continued to establish himself as the goalie of the future in TO...
WAACH 'Cast's Band Of The Day- DETHKLOK
In keeping with a lil hint from Sean's preview thread, I thought it fitting to unleash the biggest cartoon band in the galaxy. I am sure most of you have seen Metalocalypse, the Cartoon Network program that features the exploits of Dethklok, the world's most popular band. Two things I love about the show is their use of extreme metal musicians for voices of characters on the show, and incorporating metal band names into the program as stores, etc. Voices have been done in the series by George Fisher (Cannibal Corpse), Devin Townsend (Strapping Young Lad), James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett (Metallica), King Diamond, as well as members of Nevermore, Arch Enemy, Dimmu Borgir, Emperor, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Scott Ian (Anthrax), Slash, Brian Posehn, Mike Patton (Faith No More), Ace Frehley, and Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) among others. Also cool, Mark Hamill provides a number of voices, including the band's arch nemesis Senator Stampington.
Series founders Brendan Small (Home Movies) and Tommy Blacha have also brought Dethklok on tour as a live band, utilizing a Gorillaz type set up that shows the cartoon band playing onscreen while the live band plays on stage below (including legendary drummer Gene Hoglan). The show is heading towards a 4th season, and while it's fans eagerly await this, lets see some of the best from Nathan, Skwissgar, Toki, Murderface and Pickles!

As much as I hate what he did to the Canucks, I do love that Byfuglien rubbed out faces in it during the celebrations.
So…smug.

Babcock deflecting concerns about the Wings...
at the Canucks(!) from Twitter
ctv_kelcey Kelcey Brade
Babcock quote – “Thing with Roberto – I have been with him twice – won a world championship, Olympics and he’s been great …”
“… in saying that – until you win the Cup – you haven’t won the Cup. They can do all they want now …”
“…they’re going to win the Presidents Trophy – but then there’s this thing day one when your the favourite…”
“…the reason I know is we’ve been there many times. Its different so we’ll see how he handles that.”
Babcock is a 14 year old Flames fan. Who knew?

Ah, the difference is Babcock is saying “Wait and see,” not “He’ll never succeed in the playoffs.” Since ‘95, the Red Wings have won six President’s League trophies. Only two of their 4 Stanley cups in that time are from the same year. That’s one point I think Babcock was trying to make.
Anyway, until you win the cup, you haven’t won the cup. And when you’ve won your first cup, they’ll doubt you can do it again, like Giguere. There will always be reasons to doubt.

and he was asked about us. If he had said “no comment I am only focused on my team” you’d be ripping him for not saying anything. He didn’t even say anything that isn’t true. All season we’ve been talking about this team being judged in the playoffs. Then when Babcock says the same thing suddenly it’s “smacktalk”? I don’t see it. Think maybe the grumpy old man in you is winning the war today.

The nation state is quickly becoming a thing of the past, being replaced by the corporate state, which means more wealth is being tsunamied upwardts to the top 1-2% of the population, so all of us down here should expect more and more taxes, no matter what for.

That’s cuz caring about their fellows is inherently opposed to the idea of free enterprise. There’s nothing wrong with a corporate entity doing it’s job, which is to generate money. My problme with it isn’t that, it’s that the government requires so much from them and in turn becomes corporate themselves, which, of course, is inherently opposed to what a democracy is supposed to be.

Why is there
something wrong with that? A mechanic is a skilled trade, and deserves an income comensurate with their skill and value to society as much as anyone else. You know what grinds my gears a hell of a lot more than 80$ an hour mechanic? A researcher getting a 100,000$ grant to do some stupid and useless study that has no bearing on my quality of life. You know what else grinds my gears? A teacher who is a brilliant educator and shapes young minds making exactly the same money as some stupid douche who stands at the front of the class and enjoys the fact he gets 6 weeks in summer and 1 each at christmas and easter without actually doing anything good. And you know what else grinds my gears? Some douche with a platinum ring and no real world experience or even skill making twice the money as someone with much more knowledge and no ring.
The problem isn’t pay per job title, the problem is pay per 1: union agreement and 2: perceived value instead of per real value.

I work with some MScs out there, and I agree with you. They can be taking advantage of the system. I’ve also seen others who are whole-heartedly dedicated in their work, and have contributed positively too. I guess it was my fault to stereotype, but I swear! Us lab people are good people! =)

But you could also apply that to the lazy “skilled” workers as well. I worked at a manufacturing plant for a year and a half on internship and saw many people, making very good money, who did as little work as possible.
The system is very flawed.

Athletes are considered entertainers, and their value to society is really determined by the amount of money people are willing to spend on entertainment.
I would debate
That the value is in the millions though. Especially since the majority of pay for professional athletes comes from corporate sponsorship

a doctor goes to school
for 8 years and has a career of 40+ years. An athlete spends 15-20 years becoming an athlete at a much higher focus level and has a career of under 10. And if u for even a second think that any researcher who develops a world altering treatment/drug/device isnt a rich individual afterwards for any reason other than getting screwed (which can happen to entertainers as well) or their own lack of business sense (which can also happen to entertainers), you’re completely out to lunch.

Much higher focus level? Do you know how many hours doctors work, and how much attention to detail they need? A doctor’s skill isn’t determined after just 8 years of school. They improve it consistently over their career.

no, you're wrong
athletes contribute quite alot to society, and they work their asses off to get to a point where they make any money at all, let alone the money that we see them making today. I can’t say I know any sales people that are curing cancer or creating world peace, yet I know at least two billionaires who are sales guys and nothing more. Real Estate magnates aren’t doing either of those things either, and we all know of several billionaires in that field. For you to sit there and say that anybody doesn’t deserve what they make for an income because they aren’t bettering the world is both wrong and unfair. And kinda reeks of bitterness. It always gets my hackles up when someone says that an entertainer or athlete is overpaid for that reason and for the second reason that WE decide their pay scale. It shocks me even more when people say they offer no value to society. There are times when I think that people are not compensated in a way that makes sense, but entertainment is never one of those places. I CHOOSE to spend money on hockey tickets, movies and music. Metallica didn’t get rich off my back, but they did get some money off my discretionary income…and good on them for doing it. They not only earned it, but they deserve the money they make. Don’t even get me started on piracy…

I never said they didn't contribute
And you’re really off base insinuating that I’m some bitter guy just sitting here and hacking people for not “bettering” the world, because I am not bitter about anything in my life.
Personally I value the contributions of other fields to society over sports and entertainment. Do I like sports an entertainment? Of course.

it is vitally important that the lesser of two (or three, or four) evils is elected to power! If you waste your vote by spoiling the ballot (or by protest voting), you are essentially supporting the greater of evils. Are you pro-evil?

The point is...
An election costs about $300 million. That’s a lot of money. A lot of money that gets poured into our economy. 190,000 (admittedly temporary) jobs will be created during this election. We have been having more elections than would be ideal lately, 4 in 7 years, but such is the cost of a democratic system. This is not an unnecessary election.
Being found in contempt, hiding the costs of programmes from the representatives of the Canadian people who must approve the funding, proroguing parliament because they were asking tough questions, having members of your party (and sitting senators, no less) criminally charged for election act violations (which cost the tax-payers money – money given directly to conservative candidates)… Whether you think the Conservative Party is still the best to lead the country or not, it sure looks like enough stuff to be worth asking the public “hey, what do you all think?”

Vote. This is an important election. Maybe to you its OK to have a gov’t that breaks the law more than any other in our history. That tries the “Unca Steve” knows better…so just sit down and drink your milk…well patting the electorate on the head.
How do you know about the liberals? The latest EKOS poll? Its owned by a Conservative powerbroker….
Just vote. If its for the Conservatives, cool beans, thats your vote.
But slagging the whole process, and saying it does not matter? Sorry Twitch…thats just stupid. (Not calling you that because you aren’t…but thats a stupid way of looking at it )

I think the Libs will be a minority gov’t this time…simply because of the voter anger in the current guys.
Its non stop criminality. The latest? Tony Clement is trying to get the senators to crush a generic drug bill designed to help people in Africa that are super poor not die. The same bill Harper was pressing the flesh with, and getting a photo op with, Bono last year.
Tony Clement happens to own 25% of a drug company. Blew off any questions on that, and blamed the liberals for forcing an election.
Yeah, I remember the sponsorship scandal…but never have I seen a gov’t with such disdain for the electorate…ever.

I expect gov’t to do what the people ask, not what they SAY are things we will like when they are done.
I get that the system is flawed, and I don’t agree with every little thing.
But, since day one, this gov’t has lied, cheated and sloten to try and keep power. The lobbyist fellow (Martin?) in the RCMP investigation. He was at the inner circle of the Cons, and his stated mandate, and who he is bought and paid for by…is the Oil Sands.
Climate Change? The rest of the world is on that mother…but Canada does not even have a policy. Most of that is traced back to this fellow and his actions.
Harper was sending him to world conferences with the expressed intention of killing anything the rest of the world wanted.
Never forget Unca Steve’s biggest contributors is the same Oil Sands fellows.

Where they lose me is the attack ads. Especially ones that don’t make sense.

Very few programmes benefit everyone. I have benefited from the introduction of the TFSA, for example, but that’s only because I am a) young enough to use it as a savings instrument for my retirement and b) fortunate enough to have some money to put into it.
and while it is a little less exciting, there can be “meaningful maintain the status quo” as well, which will impact some Canadians. see: environmental policy

The Liberals will start doing the same? Section…pointing out the actual facts…not using things said by some Con think tank in a policy paper…is a little different.

The point
is to hope that Harper will step aside if he doesn’t win a majority for a third time. From Day 1 he has been all about the secrecy (for instance, trying to control the press by insisting that everything go through the PMO). This latest incident is just another example in an all too long list. Seriously, contempt of parliament by refusing to release info to help our legislators decide what is best for Canada.

The truth of it is that if the very best person to represent each riding were elected, there would be as much of a fractious parliament as ever. Riding by riding, interests don’t coincide. Ironically, that’s why the Bloc is a fantastic party, as far as getting stuff for their ridings.
Since our system has become one where the individual candidate is just a vote for the party, it is most important to pick the party that best represents you. In most cases, the local candidate of that party will be your best match in any case (if he or she were so different from party line, they wouldn’t be running for that party!). Its too bad, and I wish it were different, but that is our system.

A request, guys
Could we all keep our own political ideological arguments out of this? It’s really quite hard to sit here and read people trash my political views, but I know that if I espouse views contrary to the seeming majority here, it’ll just end up in a war.
So please. Can we leave the promotion of our own political views and / or the trashing of others out of it?

I can get behind that
That’s why I normally stay out of political discussions. You don’t really get anywhere with them and people just end up pissed off.

What do you tell a duck to lower its head?
Come on Tyr.
You have not been shy about espousing before.
No one trashed your political iews at all. Just pointing out facts. Its facts what Bev Oda did. Its facts that Mr Martin was a member of Harper’s inner circle while working for Big Oil.
I am sorry they aren’t living up to your needs, but its kinda weak to say that you would get shouted down of you made your views known, when you have, and had great discussions before.
I don’t “hate” anyone…certainly not you. But its been a pretty rational discussion by all today. The facts that people like me have brought up are just that…facts.
I will vote Liberal because of that. Thats me.
But please don’t accuse me of “trashing” anyone for having a differing view…and pointing out what has been reported as facts all over this country.

Trashing was, perhaps, too strong a term
If that is so, I apologize. Perhaps a more accurate way to put it might be… condescension towards a certain view and those who hold it? That might not be entirely accurate either, but I’d say it’s close enough.
However, I do stand by the statement that we ought not be promoting our own personal political views. It can get ugly.

I think we were just discussing Tyr
No one is promoting anything. If you do not like what the majority of people on NM have as a political bent, that is just the basic tenet of democracy…the majority and all that.
I think you are being a trifle sensitive. People are going to talk politics in an election campaign.
Nonetheless, the idea of not pushing someone’s own politics on others is a good one.
I just read through everything, and did not see anyone being condescending about what they believe.

I come on to NM to talk hockey, not politics. From what I read, I’m guessing I’m the only conservative here. Not saying you guys are wrong but the reason why I’m conservative is more because of the ideology. I’d rather have a “limited” government. The less they meddle in my life the better, imo. Anyways, I know I don’t have to read what you guys type (and honestly I did skip a lot) but this is a hockey blog.
marcness...yes
But its also a community. We go O/T all the time. Politics is a viable discussion when we are in an election.
Don’t really care if you are conservative or not….
But its a viable topic as any other.

Yeah but music is pretty subjective and light hearted. The only real difference is that politics can get pretty heated. I come to this site as a way of getting away from all that BS and just kinda hang out and talk about something entertaining and politics isn’t really entertaining. It’s one of the only things that can actually get me angry just listening to some people (especially on the radio).
fair enough
I could go either way. I don’t think its fair to say this but not this.We are pretty good at being rational here, most the time, and all viewpoints get fair shrift.
I will remember not to talk to you or Tyr about politics, and just assume you are going to vote Con anyhow?

We’ll be hearing more and more from “experts” saying Lu doesn’t have what it takes over the next couple of weeks. I would really like to skip the next few weeks and get right to the playoffs so I don’t have to keep hearing all this bullshit.

That sad thing is that no one
bothers to do the research. Luongo’s big issue was traffic. So he changed his style. He’s having his best season as a Canuck. The last time he played this well was when he dominated Dallas in the playoffs. If he plays like that again with this team in front of him look out. It’s a different year and a different team.

His play is making me feel as confident as I did during his first Canuck season.

You can’t say Byfuglien is all hype. He has 51 points this year and was leading all defenseman scoring earlier in the year. He’s definitely much improved this year over last with a worse team.
He had a real solid first half, and for some reason dropped off a cliff. Anyone know what happened to him? At least his goals have dried up for sure.

because he hasn’t really made more of a change other than a few assists. he’s still a minus player. he was on pace to something like double his numbers. he’s 2 goals over last year. and nearly all were 1st half.

"ryan kesler will impregnate your mouth" - Passive Voice
All jokes are now certified accurate, because nothing's funny about inaccurate humour.
A minus player on a crap team. He actually improved his +/- coming from a Stanley Cup winning team to a non playoff team. That’s pretty good. He had a pretty forgettable season last year other than the playoffs where he was playing with Toews and Kane which will make anyone look really well. I’d say he vastly improved over last season even with the drop off later in the season. And if you’re going to downgrade assists then you may as well downgrade Henrik because that’s the majority of his points.
