Public Skate: It's New England Sports Night!
Boston Bruins at Carolina Hurricanes, Jan 14, 2012 7:00 PM EST
If you're a sports fan, nights like tonight were made for you. Playoff Football, Hockey, College Basketball, Hockey, College Hockey, Hockey, and baseball nowhere in sight.
So get your Black and Gold or Blue and Silver or whatever other colors you choose to wear (just not Red and Black or Blue and Orange), get some beer and let's do this thing.
Editor's Note: While we always welcome inter-sport banter, if you're looking for strictly football, be sure to check out SBNation sister site Pats Pulpit's game thread. Otherwise, feel free to throw your GIFs of Gronk destroying people or Brady spikes or Tebow crying below.
Let's go Pats. Let's go B's. Let's do it.

I was hoping to get there, but a combination of the cold and work kept me in. One of these days, though.
thanks! I’m always good for speculating about next year’s (or next next year’s) roster once a month or so, provided I have the time. other stuff, like quality hockey analysis? not really my bag.

Wonder how many people show up to the thread tonight.
With the Pats and other playoff game on now, should be interesting.
4 games next week though
so it should be all hands on deck then.
Keep Calm and Tim Tom
At the game. Easily half the arena is rocking the black and gold. Looking forward to revenge for October.

Checking in from the game-watch party…not a bad turnout. Y’all that couldn’t make it will be missed.

thank you… you should have thrown me a backward compliment like i totally didn’t mean to do to you the other night (really, it just came out wrong!) – something like, “I’m glad you could make it… but would like it much more if Phunwin were here.” – haha!

A bootleg was probably the last thing I was expecting. Beautiful play though. And a great block from that WR down field too.
Keep Calm and Tim Tom
wait
not a WR but a nice key block none the less.
Keep Calm and Tim Tom
Yeah...
the dude was an Tackle, not sure how I made the mistake hah. Should Smith have gone down inside the 5 to let SF kill some more clock?
Keep Calm and Tim Tom
okay....
but what if they fail to score in 3 and the FG is blocked? (I know thats a huge what if) But you definitely take the score. Now its just big D
by RoughneckNine0 on Jan 14, 2012 7:59 PM EST up reply actions
I agree. Just a thought. Someone did that a few years ago, maybe champ bailey after an INT return? 9ers have a good D.
Keep Calm and Tim Tom
yeah.
San Fran didn’t help themselves by running into eachother when trying to tackle Graham. Or getting 4 maybe 5 takeaways and only scoring 29.
Keep Calm and Tim Tom
that shot og grahm dunking was great

Its funny
I follow the Canes In Game twitter. They said Sutter scores on a slapshot from a takeaway. It sounded so glorious. Then I check here and it sounded like it got deflected x10

I never understood PIM
in fantasy. Wouldnt low PIM be ideal?
Keep Calm and Tim Tom
it’s one more dimension. i’m in the cup of chowder league and it’s fun, but my league that’s strictly offensive is boring. so much less strategy because you’re only looking for points, points, and more points. i could likely have no goalie in my other league and be just fine
Kick his ass, Seabass!
by phonymahoney on Jan 14, 2012 8:27 PM EST up reply actions
I understand that it adds a category, but why not just make it lowest PIM instead of highest?
Keep Calm and Tim Tom
because then you just don’t put any fighters or anything on your lineup and boom, you win the point with 2 PIM
by RoughneckNine0 on Jan 14, 2012 8:30 PM EST up reply actions
I dunno. This definitely gives added value to guys like Lucic, Marshmont, Horton, etc. who make a lot of trouble but also put up points
Kick his ass, Seabass!
by phonymahoney on Jan 14, 2012 8:32 PM EST up reply actions
awesome. i have him in my other league, but it won’t get me much… that league is with some friends, and it blows because it’s almost strictly offensive… head to head, too

no no no
I’m convinced he just felt like painting those words. Then when he’s on TV he’s like “oh shit…. this makes no sense” and puts in the silly celebrating thing

I remember...
a couple of years ago, there was a guy on the Bruins named Aron Ward. wonder what happened to him.
I love Wardo. So solid.
I like how you talk about him like he played 3 games and then went to the Finnish Elite League or something. ;)

I think Russia is a scary place in general. I have a buddy that lived there for a while after college.

I’m also a fan of perennial chumps. I tend to gravitate to those teams in most sports.
Keep Calm and Tim Tom
That’s what I’m going for. I also liked Demitra, Rachunek and Salei, so I feel like I have to root for Lokomotiv.

The Broncos aren’t close to done coughing up the ball in this one. Tebow’s getting absolutely hung out to dry by his o-line.
i thought hw was gonna sit around like an asshat and take his sweet ass time. and he did, thank god.

I thought for sure he was gonna take to long on that, but then ward slid over to the near side and
BOOM. SNIPE.
just wanna put this out here
I absolutely hate Jermain Wiggins on twitter. He is the most moronic twitterer out there.
He doesn’t exactly come across as a Rhodes Scholar on Felger & Mazz, either.

Focus on the Family is an abhorrent organization.
But I’m not surprised they’re running an ad during this game.
But the reaction is overall negative so far (at least on the Pats thread).
by Anthony Emerson on Jan 14, 2012 9:19 PM EST up reply actions
They're vehemently anti-gay and anti-science.
That fits my definition for “abhorrent organization”.

Which is why I can’t fucking stand Tebow and his followers.

I don’t care about football, nor am I anti-religion (raised Catholic; I am pro-guilt if anything), but my biggest reason that I want Tebow to lose is because he’s constantly shoving God in everyone’s face.
