Live&DieBillsFootball Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 I don't know why I even read the drivel from this NC idiot in the Buffalo News. As the series gets better and better, this guy finds something stupid to write about. Last week, it was that hockey is only about scoring goals, all other observations are meaningless. Today, it's time for lame excuses. The Buffalo ice was bad, which somehow only affected the Canes. He somewhat backtracked by saying later that "the ice doesn't favor one team over the other, but it may favor the team that scores first." What an idiot. He also had to blame the game on Pominville getting checked from behind. According to Doug Weight, "I should be smarter and see that it's him." I guess if he checked someone else from behind, the refs probably would not have called it. I'm surprised that he didn't whine about the phantom trip that was called on McKee after Staal fell down trying to make a turn.
Lurker Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 If there truly are Hockey Gods, they have to be displeased with the biggest bunch of whiners ever to lace 'em up.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 I'd like to offer my sincere apologies to Carolina, for having a team that can only play hockey in absolutely perfect conditions.

I suppose there could be some truth to it, but then it didn't exactly help the Sabres out last Friday, did it? That idiot should be told that there would be no southern hockey, or anything other than an agrarian South if it weren't for the Buffalonian that invented air conditioning.

stuckincincy Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 In the French Connection days, the Aud board panels left and right of the net seemed to be especially "taut", so a puck smacking on those boards popped back about 20 feet in front of the goalie.

C.Biscuit97 Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 Gotta love a Buffalo vs. Florida argument about air conditioning Dolphins suck!!!
X. Benedict Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 This Barnett fellow finally thinks there is more nuance to hockey than just shooting at the net. Hmmmmmm. Your theory is holding up very nicely, douchemeister.

Puhonix Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 Gotta love a Buffalo vs. Florida argument about air conditioning Dolphins suck!!! 700766[/snapback] Reading both Wikipedia articles tell you exactly what we already knew: Gorrie's machine was to cool the air. Carrier's invention was to control heat and humidity. Florida = Too hot. Buffalo = Too cold.
