Defending Big D and Anaheim Calling -- enhance your blogging experience!
Oops -- overstepped my bounds, and the original content has been pulled.
Haha, relax -- that's just a joke way of saying "I'm too lazy to write much today".
In case you missed it last week, I had a bit of a falling out with our sponsor.
If you're interested, though, here was going to be the topic du jour: Sleek's suggestion #3: Re-release NHL 94 (with updated rosters, of course). It was a much simpler video game that turned me into a hockey fan back in the day -- less complications in gameplay will attract more potential gamers-turned-fans and make for a more rewarding trashtalk experience, I'd think.
Feel free to discuss this idea or add your own unpaid suggestion in the comments.

Instead, I'm just going to highlight IAmJoe's noble fanpost from yesterday -- a rather costless way to help support sled hockey in SoCal.

Prediction: I won't be around for game comments tonight; once again real life is forcing me to watch on DVR delay. The Ducks attempt to take advantage of a fatigued opponent, but instead learn a valuable lesson about corporate hypersensitivity. :) Goals by B-Ry, Four Eyes, Stone Hands, and the Leaning Tower of Sbisa.
Go Ducks.

I never played NHL 94… My first game was 2002, I think. If they were to re-release it (for real, not like a couple years ago where they just let you play with basic controls or whatever), I’d buy it.
And by the way, be cautious if scanning the Defending Big D comments. They’re still insanely pissed over last night’s game (It is Los Angeles, after all. If our players couldn’t act, they wouldn’t be here. That’s DL’s #1 criteria, #2 is “name isn’t ‘Ilya Kovalchuk’”)

What part are they pissed off about? I didn’t get to see it, and really only saw the NHL on the Fly version. Was it Dustin Brown?

Though, listening to a team that has Ribiero on it complain about diving is infinitely amusing.

Haha, there are certain players who, if your team insists on employing them, it almost undermines your complaints about said topic. Ribeiro is one of them. Live by the dive, die by the dive.
(I mean, it still sucks to get jobbed, if they got jobbed. But Ribeiro’s on-ice morality includes trying to get the other team jobbed.)
Lighthouse Hockey: You say that like Streit and Okposo and MacDonald were important.
Dustin Brown… Drew Doughty “dove” at the end into the boards, drawing a 5-minute major PP for the final four minutes (Kings had a 2-1 lead, and scored once)…
The whole game was ugly, and there were bodies flying all over the place. They’re just pissed that penalties were called on both sides.
That, and the fact that Burish got a questionable major-misconduct and Richardson got a cross-checking minor, when I thought could’ve actually been a major-misconduct.
"Hey, Luongo: YOU SUCK!"
Courtesy of some guys in 331.
Yes, Drew just got back from head trauma so he decided, “Why not one more whack? I love a bleeding cranium.”
That is seriously their thesis. Ooooookay.
In Dinglebarn We Trust
That was exactly what I said at Defending Big D:
“Doesn’t make sense to me why Doughty, who missed six games with a concussion, would take a dive there in a dangerous position and bang his face into the dasherboard.”
"Hey, Luongo: YOU SUCK!"
Courtesy of some guys in 331.
Yeah, saw that play. I can see where a penalty was called because definitely at full speed it looked like boarding. But a major? You’ve got to be kidding on that. He bounced right back up. He wasn’t even fully square to the boards either.
I wish I had a Youtube clip here. But you don’t want guys eating it facefirst into the boards. That’s why that penalty exists.
In Dinglebarn We Trust
Doughty kinda got himself into that position. He even turned around and saw the Star player coming. I don’t think he dove but I thought he could’ve done a better job evading the impact or at least better absorbing it. Glad he isn’t hurt, again.
The more I think about it, I think that maybe the refs called the penalty they did to try to keep more stuff from happening…
It was an ugly game, and maybe they felt that this incident with Doughty would further escalate the tensions. What’s unfortunate is that it was a 2-1 game at the time, and the only remaining goal was scored on the PP.
Not taking anything away from Quick or the Kings, but you have to wonder if Dallas could’ve gotten back in the game if not for that penalty, and you have to hope it wouldn’t have made a difference.
Since we can’t find that out for sure, the Stars fans are obviously gonna use that as an excuse as to why they didn’t get the win, just as we would the same if it happened to us.
"Hey, Luongo: YOU SUCK!"
Courtesy of some guys in 331.
Doughty also didn’t have the puck. Are you allowed to shove someone off balance just because he sees you there?
If you are, I hope you’re cool with that happening a dozen times to Fowler.

Huh back? I’m not talking about him hitting anyone, I’m talking about the possibility of him being hit.
In Dinglebarn We Trust
Because it was a Ducks fan saying that it was Drew’s fault that happened. As for raw spot — I don’t really understand what that means, as both Drew and Cam went through that recently.
Basically, having read a lot on concussions and spinal injuries, I think boarding should be called more, not less. But everyone wants to give it a pass if the player’s not hurt on the play.
In Dinglebarn We Trust
Hey, guys get vulnerable sometimes — happened to Cam (though he had the puck, and it was behind an opposing net), I guess it happened to Drew.
I just got flustered by the logic that since Drew got hit once, Cam was going to get it a dozen times. Makes it sound like there’s a “let’s take a run at the 18-year-old who hits nobody” conspiracy I didn’t know about.
www.battleofcali.com
since Drew got hit once, Cam was going to get it a dozen times
I’m confused by your reading of what I said, yet again.
I was making a point that if you’re okay with that sort of interference shove play, you should be ready to see it done a lot to your star player and still be cool with it. But it’s not legal.
I don’t really understand what line I’ve crossed but this whole thing is confusing.

If a Duck breaks his leg playing hockey, I don’t know that my appropriate response should be to tell a Kings fan that they should be cool with it when it inevitably happens to Kopitar.
It’s just random and weird.
www.battleofcali.com
She was responding to ScottyKnows saying basically that Doughty did it to himself. Her mistake was saying what if it happened to Cam Fowler, because everyone knows if you wish injury on any Duck, it should be Corey Perry.
For every moment of triumph, for every instance of beauty, many souls must be trampled.
She was responding to ScottyKnows saying basically that Doughty did it to himself.
Yes, this. And I was not wishing injury on Cam. It was an “if” statement, purely hypothetical, about how he’d feel justifying that it it kept happening to his player. I’m obviously not okay with boarding and the injuries that can result from that, and never have been.
To take “If a Duck player breaks his leg I’ll be fine wishing it on Kopitar” from what I said is the thing that’s random and weird to me. But I’m done trying to explain myself.
In Dinglebarn We Trust
Okay, let’s just assume that nobody’s cool with hits on their star players, and stop the weird assumption that it would be (even if multiplied by 12).
www.battleofcali.com
That’s what I was going for. That it’s ridiculous to justify stuff like that.
In Dinglebarn We Trust
Yeah, problem is, I don’t really see where anybody told you to be cool with Doughty being hit — the comment was that Doughty may or may not have put himself in a dangerous position, or whether it deserved a major or minor penalty.
Hell, I didn’t even see the play, so I’m useless — but I don’t know that it should turn to a “be cool when it happens to Fowler” talk. Because I don’t know if that’s being implied to you at all.
www.battleofcali.com
This has gone on long enough so allow me to moderate.
Niesy was using Fowler as an example so you could empathize with Kings fans. As in “how would you react if someone took a run at Fowler” He didn’t say anyone should or that he wanted it to happen. It was and example to illicit an emotional response, something for a duck fan to relate to. Que buena?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3EJYWhHrJw
Earl. Seriously. I get the feeling that I should never have dared to mention Cam’s name, or that I should have treated this topic with more delicacy than the subjects of sexism, homophobia, and rape. All the shit that gets said here, trashtalk or otherwise, and this is what gets you to single it out as something that’s not an “appropriate” response?
More than one person has tried to explain it to you now, and you keep picking at it. I don’t know why, or to what end. But after this many comments, it feels like you’re going out of your way to be a jerk.
I know you feel like the wronged party and you won’t apologize, but this is bizarre. I’ve had enough.
In Dinglebarn We Trust
My apologies. Enjoy the state rape and feel free to bring up runs on Fowler whenever you want.

Next time you want to illustrate your point use one of Earl’s family members or maybe a close friend. Just not Fowler.

I didn’t say it was his fault. What does it matter if I’m a Ducks fan? Just thought he was smarter than that to put himself in a vulnerable position. I didn’t think I was bashing at all. Just an objective opinion. Weirdos
Actually I’m going to take the opposite approach and recommend you go to defending big d. Straight comedy.

NHL 94
I would love something that is a bit easier to play. I tried NHL10 on the Wii and it was just too complicated for my brain (or maybe I’m just too stupid).
Earl, go to www.NHL94Online.com. They release a ROM version of NHL 94 with updated rosters, as well as running online leagues and stuff. You’ll need a Sega Emulator to run it though. And legally speaking, you are only supposed to have the ROM if you own to original game (thus it counts as just having a backup). Emulators are into some shady legal territory, so I dunno if we can be all posting ROMs and Emulators on SBN without getting you in trouble again, so I’ll let you decide if we can go there.

In that case, here’s a link to NHL94 ROM updated to the 2009-10 rosters.

p.s. nice cartoon sleek
p.s.s. I bit the hand that fed this morning by beating wooster at nhl 11 in a close one in OT..we both were the ducks of course..he got an unexpected lilja backhander…and a bobby ryan goal..i countered with koivu and teemu..in regulation..but then beat him in OT with a beautiful shot from the the point with vish with a redirection from bobby ryan with like 26 sec to a shootout…it was crazy…hiller was a beast for both sides
p.s.s.s. does a confident leaning tower os sbisa keep that physicality rolling? keep proving spade wrong? hope so

p.s.s. I bit the hand that fed this morning by beating wooster at nhl 11 in a close one in OT.
Nicely done, hahaha. All Lilja backhanders are unexpected.
www.battleofcali.com
It wasn’t just a Lilja backhander. It was a big time skill play with a deke and toe drag move to the backhand to beat Hiller on the short side. He recently came out of the box after taking out Selanne on a blatant interference play, but quickly made up for it.
And much like the Ducks, I was totally dominated during that 3rd period and overtime by Spade.
bobby ryan with like 26 sec to a shootout
It was more like 9 seconds left in OT – There were 13 seconds left when we had the faceoff. For some reason I ice the puck and Spade decides to call a timeout (like that ever works in video games), and there it is. He wins the faceoff cleanly, Vishnovsky fires the shot and it’s deflected in by Ryan.
In my defense, Lydman must have experienced double vision as he completely vacated the front of the net and was heading towards to opposite faceoff dot on that play. I think he was going after the duplicated Vishnovsky. Ryan was all alone by himself in front of Hiller. Also, Spade was the home team – and we all know how good the Ducks are at home and how bad they can be on the road.
Anyhow, I had a great time playing this morning. I forgot how fun it could be playing online with someone you know (or sort of know through a blog).
haha yea that interference call was funny so blatent!..im commenting using boc mobile…its strange

Yeah, I totally just went out and hit him. You would have beat me to the puck, but still, you weren’t very close to touching it yet.
I just like to think of it as Lilja’s revenge against Selanne for when Lilja just left the puck for Selanne and Teemu scored that backhander against Hasek for the OT winner in the playoffs against Detroit.

I feel I have been contributing to the Ducks recent success, and I will tell you how. All Duck fans of legal drinking age should also partake.
Ok, here’s how to help the Ducks.
Drink a Brass Monkey before the game. Ive been doing this for all of their last 5 wins. I wont stop until they lose. Please join me.
What is a Brass Monkey you ask? It is an Old English 40 mixed with Orange juice.
Sound gross? Your wrong, its delicious. It turns that cheap malt liquor into an easily (even for chicks) drinkable good luck charm for our Ducks. If you dont have Old E, then just pour some O.J. in your beer or cocktail, because its the O.J. thats the good luck(get it?, Orange county), but I’m not guaranteeing it will taste as good as a Brass Monkey.
Go Ducks!!!!!!

the brass monkey is a 40-ounce bottle of malt liquor that has been consumed to the top of the label and then filled with orange juice. The accepted method for mixing is by rolling the bottle across the floor to ensure homogeneity of the solution.

True, but it’s still somewhat a compelling story. With Tampa Bay — that was a team on a roll that got stopped, but that may have been coming with time.
With the Islanders — this team was way way overdue for a win coming into the state. If they go home empty, that’s ridiculous.
www.battleofcali.com
It’s ridiculous but that 10 (9?) game losing streak has me worried. You’d think a team with a bad record would be a sure thing. Law of averages though. Gotta give some time.
You better have that state rape graphic ready though. If it’s late, maybe it could be NY in a therapists office dealing with PTS. I have several other ideas but lets not take rape too lightly here. Hard to walk the “funny rape” line. Beautifully done so far.

ILWT is literally communist Russia, and NM is… probably about as loose as BoC is (although with my current signature, I’d probably get banned if I went over there now)

Loose.
I’m sure everyone on here loves hockey just as much as anyone on ILWT. Taking it too seriously or not allowing a relaxed atmosphere for discussion isn’t helping anyone. Another good place to look is last night’s NJ loss’ post game notes on Copper and Blue, EDM’s blog.
And banning Quisp? That guy was dead on with every single thing he said this summer. If he got banned for sharing those accuracies, well, that’s just egregious.

Being a Devils fan, I absolutely have to agree with you on the ILWT thing. It’s just not fun. Informative yes. Say what you will about the guy, but Fischer has incredible analytical pieces. That being said, it’s not a place to have fun at all. One guy a few months ago posts something explaining that it was his first post and stated his opinion on a recent rumor. Fischer practically insulted him for his grammar and essentially told him not to post again if that was how he was gonna write. It pissed me off.
if more people felt that way, and spoke out about it – then the Devils site could change to be more fun … more relaxed. go to other SBN hockey sites (I’ve been to most), a good % of them are fun to hang out in … it surprises me that Fischer keeps his so rigid.
Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality?

I hate posting a gem like this after the thread is a couple days old. Earl: Go post this on ILWT.
