Duck182 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I've found myself wondering from time to time what it would be like if a team jet crashed, and now I wish I'd never known. Someone on HF Boards made a hypothetical thread on it a few months ago, and everyone pitched their ideas on what the league could do. Now it's a fucking reality, so eerie. Yeah I saw that. Messed up.

MSandt Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 The player who survived the initial crash died: http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2011/09/12/only-hockey-player-to-survive-russian-plane-crash-dies/?test=latestnews The only member of a top Russian hockey team to survive a plane crash that killed 44 people died Monday of his injuries in a Moscow hospital. The Vishnevsky hospital said 26-year-old Alexander Galimov died of the severe burns that covered about 90 percent of his body, despite the best efforts of doctors in its burn unit, considered one of the best in Russia. Scary how close our Travis was to dying like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melty Mark Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 That's probably one of the top ten most excruciating ways to die, poor guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSandt Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Can't see the video because of fucked up country restrictions. Anyways, Selänne is back for one more year: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=588559 The Ducks will face the Jets in December in Winnipeg. Selänne in for a standing ovation? Can't fucking wait for the season to begin. Hiller should be back to his usual self and hopefully Perry starts the season the way he ended the last one. I expect at least 100 points from him this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-rad Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Totally think Selanne should have gone to Winnipeg for one year even if he took a huge pay cut. If he retired there, they would gave him a fucking amazing goodbye. But i guess the ducks will too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltdown Tracker Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I really want to buy a Jets t-shirt that says "Every day I'm Byfuglien". Whoever was behind that idea is a genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltdown Tracker Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Just had to watch the highlights for the SCF on the opening of TSN's Van-Edm game. Stoked to see Nugent-Hopkins play though, first BC boy to go 1st overall in the draft. And Nolan playing on Hodgson's wing, should be entertaining.

MSandt Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Fowler & Hiller have been amazing this preseason. Still, I'm expecting a weak start of the season for the Ducks because that's the way we roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltdown Tracker Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 How's Hiller's vertigo? If that affects him again this year, they could be up shit creek without a paddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSandt Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 No sign of it so far but who knows; medically it was a bit of a mystery to begin with. At least McBackup isn't here anymore to ruin everything in case the vertigo returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mau5 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Yeah I really like Hiller, I was bummed he was out. Absolutely great goalie so I hope it doesn't frequent him any time this season (unless maybe we hit them in playoffs ) haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meltdown Tracker Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Does anyone want to do a Blink Boards Fantasy league/hockey pool?

Meltdown Tracker Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Alright, I made a Yahoo! league. League name: The Blink Boards Password: classless http://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/theblinkboards Since the season opener is October 6th, I figure we should do the draft on the 5th. I'm thinking 4:00 PM PST, 7:00 PM EST on October 5th would work the best. Any schedule conflicts for you guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
