Fvck that team. He's really gotten hot again. Six goals and two assists in his last six games, after putting up just three points in his previous 15 GP.

Heh heh Though he's very streaky in-season (and I still think the deal made perfect sense), you do know what production you can expect from him...he's good for 40-50 points as long he plays in 75+ games...far from awesome, but from season to season he's pretty consistent. Really curious to see what he gets when he goes UFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After retiring: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Not like it can be too stressful being around Carrie Underwood though...but without going too deep into it, or to make any sweeping generalizations about every last ex-pro athlete (not like I'll ever walk in their shoes), I think it's difficult for a lot of players to suddenly not have that much to do, especially when they're so used to structure and schedules (and if they haven't developed interests or hobbies)...guess you can say that about a lot of jobs obviously, but being an NHL player is a lot more exciting than what a lot of us do for a living. Gotta be weird for that to just end so abruptly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralous Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 That's a pretty slick move by Poile. He just got his bottom 6 deadline acquisition without giving anything up. Fisher had 18 goals and 42 points last year and was probably well served getting the first half of the year to rest and let things heal up.

Hot famous chick, probably thinks she's never wrong about anything, and incredibly high maintenance. So its: Before retiring: Man, it will be nice to just relax at home with my wife.

MadDog2020 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 So I'm watching this Islanders-Leafs game, and the Islanders have a ticket package called the 'Retro Jersey Package', where if you buy the ticket package, you get an Islanders retro jersey. Except the retro jersey is the fvcking Fishsticks jersey from the mid-90's! [emoji23] I mean, what idiot in the ticket department thought it would be a good idea to try and entice Islanders fans to buy tickets by offering a free Fishsticks jersey? Isles fans can't stand those jerseys and I don't blame them at all, they were an embarrassment. Talk about tone deaf lmfao.

Much like the Mooterus and the purple ducks jerseys (and ugly Christmas sweaters for that matter), they’re SUPER popular because they’re SUPER ugly. if I wasn’t a fan of a team in the metro, I think I’d want one. They’re gross. It’s amazing. Plus, anytime the fan base hates a jersey, and they get rid of it, years later everyone wants them. And since they were so hated and limited to a short period of time, there’s fewer available which pushes the price up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fishsticks jersey are loud and obnoxious, and they’re not even fun and campy like an ugly sweater. I have trouble imagining a worse jersey.

mfitz804 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Two more examples of what I was talking about. Original authentic version of those Ducks jerseys sell for like $800. The Blues are mythical at this point, I can’t even imagine what a collector would pay for a certified real, original authentic; the only ones anyone ever sees are the knockoffs on eBay.
