TheDaveyG 6 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 It depends on the celebration, if it looks like it has been planned out or something not spur of the moment then I view it as individualistic. Also, if a guy scores from a sweet pass or hard work from someone else and doesn't congratulate him, that is also crappy in my book. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 It's more individualistic when you skate away from your teammates twice, which he did, or if you point to the name on the back of the jersey, which he didn't but we've seen others do. Again, I'm not saying it's "wrong" what he did, but I appreciate erring on the side of "been there before" instead of doing something Ocho Cinco would do. I don't get entertained by celebrations, so I really don't care. It's more sad then anything that today were talking about what he did after scoring the goal, instead how he scored the goal.

Zach6668 513 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Meh, IMHO, it was a little over the top, but not enough that I care at all. It was an emotional moment. Even I was steamed and I'm not even an Oilers fan, lol, and was pumped when he scored. It's not like he's gonna do this every time. What his was celebration like when he scored his first? The way he reacted, I actually thought it was. It mostly annoys me that we need to talk about stuff like this, while we all rip on the "good canadian boys" or whatever, Crosby the loudest example, of being a robot, cliche in interviews, etc. You know? People just love whining about stuff all the time, I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Funny thing is, I've yet to read/hear anyone say they were upset by it. It's just a media created issue about nothing. On another topic, having a Staal centering for your team for 40minutes a game is absolutely amazing. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 yeah, really. something weird to talk about and generate hits... pretty sure every hockey person I follow, every hockey podcast I listen to, etc talked about it. let's talk about Crosby's 2 goals in the 1st period vs the Jets instead. I'm at work, so just have the Pens app for radio, and a super choppy, not even remotely in sync with my audio video feed on the crappy work computer. Saw the first one, sorta, but missed the second one. Link to post Share on other sites

ajs510 122 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 is cory conacher going to get 100 pts this year? cc: adam I'm having a serious poolie dilemma about whether to call him up this season or not. I think he's going to get Kostitsyn's roster spot after the auction, depending on how I do and if I think I'm a contender or not. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 That's my general feeling on guys like Skinner and Myers... if I feel I did well at the auction, then they'll get the call. Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 we are only ~5 games into the hockey season and I am already fully jaded about the Leafs and the Oilers. I'm glad the FCHL is starting back up again Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Anaheim is gonna be bad after Perry and Getzlaf bolt. Anyone think they'll resign there? I think the Islanders should go AApe shit and go after both of them. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I've gotta believe Buffalo will go after Getzlaf with the full might of Terry's checkbook...we've needed a big edgy center who can score in bunches since the Clinton administration. That doesn't mean we'll get him, but what the hell...eventually someone of substance has to sign with the Sabres as a FA. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Getzlaf had like 12 goals last year. Link to post Share on other sites
