I don't get the whole fighting thing in general and that was pathetic! The refs should have stopped it and his team mates, 3rd man in rule or not should have stopped it. The commentators... Idiots. "This is about getting so fire, we're getting waxed on the score board but this is getting fired up for tomorrow...." WTF? How about you do it on the ice playing where you were getting smashed 7-0 you soft c ocks. My old mate Downie was at stretchered off I see.. Goose. Varly played last night... Don't like it but the whole innocent until proven guilty thing I guess.

What dreams may come. Robin Williams flick about what happens next and finding someone who is lost. I'm atheist but loved this movie. Couple of Werner Herzog flicks: Into the abyss, is a doco about death row, not preachy just giving you the facts and leaving it up to you too decide. Cave of forgotten dreams, is about a cave found in France with cave paintings that were dated to be twice as old as any other cave paintings ever found, was amazing.

Hahaha that is great! Kudos Thornton. It's just a game, the kid is really good and was having fun, best way to stop it is be a better team and not allow him to "show boat". I do hope teams don't go out targeting him now (of course they will).Edit: just had a lookie loo to see the below, controversial hit on Hertl. It wasn't a huge cheapy but did get him high. "Tomas Hertl was held off the scoresheet during the Sharks' 4-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks. He recorded three shots on goal and was also on the receiving end of a controversial hit from Canucks defenseman Alex Edler."

Pants, go Broncs... Gee wizz you know they can score, especially after half time, but sh I t the defence is such a worry and has been for years. Seeing Elvis D getting a sack and QB pressure against Miami was annoying.

There you go, 3-1 Avs. Downie being a goose most of the game, only Avs player to sit in the penalty box... 5 times during the game and lost his hearing aid.

..... for all of his ability in goal and his history with the Avs winning I have a real hard time not being disgusted by him and his sons. He does not seem like a very nice person, in fact the complete opposite. 6-1 win first up is nice way to start the year since they finished last... will it last with such a young team and an average defence. How long until Roy angry nature start to wear off and grate on the players? From wiki... Roy was arrested for domestic violence on Sunday, October 22, 2000... On January 19, 2007, Saguenay Police investigated an incident involving Roy and co-owner of the Chicoutimi Saguenéens, Pierre Cardinal. There were reports that Roy threw punches at the co-owner after he intervened in order to disperse a crowd of hockey fans that were blocking the Remparts bus after a game between the two clubs. A complaint for assault had been filed against Roy who faced possible assault charges in the matter. Montreal newspaper Le Journal de Montréal reported that Roy later apologized to the victim by telephone.[18][19] In a press conference following a Remparts game on January 21, 2007, Roy said that he was "suffering prejudice on the part of the media" and believed that he was not guilty of the incident. He then questioned his future as head coach and co-owner of the team, even considering resigning from his duties.[20] On January 25, 2007, Cardinal announced that he removed his complaint against Roy, before Roy made a press conference about his future in the Remparts, where he announced he will stay coach and co-owner of the team.[21][22] On March 22, 2008, in Chicoutimi, Quebec, Roy was involved in another on-ice incident during Game 2 of a first-round playoff series against the rival Saguenéens. Late in the second period, in which the Saguenéens were leading 7-1, a brawl started and Remparts goaltender Jonathan Roy, who is also Patrick Roy's son, charged towards opposing goaltender Bobby Nadeau. Roy hit Nadeau numerous times despite the other goalie indicating he didn't want to fight. After knocking Nadeau down, Roy continued to hit him. Roy fought a second Saguenéens player, then skated off the ice while holding both middle fingers up to the crowd. Coach Roy denied inciting his son to fight even though cameras showed Roy making a gesture towards his son while he was advancing towards Nadeau. After investigation by the league office, Jonathan was suspended for seven games and fined $500 while Patrick was suspended for five games and fined $4,000. The Quebec Ministry of Public Safety has launched a police investigation into the matter.[23][24][25] In late July 2008, Jonathan was charged with assault in Saguenay courts.[26] On November 21, 2008, Roy's other son found trouble playing for the Remparts, when centre Frederick Roy cross-checked an opponent in the head after a stoppage in play, Frederick was ultimately suspended 15 games by the QMJHL for that incident, which occurred the night before Patrick Roy's jersey retirement ceremony in Montreal.

If you like "dark" movies check out Bronson. Bit of an intense little flick about an English prisoner who has been in solitary for if I recall close to 20 years.

Great to see us in front for once in the series. Going to be a huge ask to get a winning result from here. Lyon will be bowling some long spells and needing some spot on line and length from the quicks at the other end.

Fair points Macca. There is no standard across all sports to testing so it is apples, oranges, carrots and watermellons we are comparing.

Livestrong not doing so well.... http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/lance-armstrong-livestrong-struggling-athletes-590883 Flogs like Stiller and Robin Williams annoy the hell out of me too, when it was cool to be sniffing LA fa rts they followed him and Livestrong religiously, now not a peep. In saying that, the charity is/was not following it's own mission.

It is galling he denied/lied again about it to the OGE review but now comes out and "admits" his guilt after he retires and only AS he was about to be outed by the French... FFS. Also here are the 18 that tested positive out of the '89 tour for EPO. There has alos been mention that they may test/release more names from other tours. Where the fark is the pathetic UCI in all of this still, how those clowns can still be running the UCI and sport is beoynd me. How the rest of people involved in the sport can allow it to happen is insane. The 18 cyclists who tested positive are: Marco Pantani, Jan Ullrich, Mario Cipollini, Laurent Jalabert, Erik Zabel, Bo Hamburger, Manuel Beltran, Andrea Tafi, Marcos Serrano, Jackie Durand, Jens Heppner, Jeroen Blijlevens, Nicola Minali, Fabio Sacchi, Eddy Mazzoleni, Abraham Olano, Laurent Desbiens and Kevin Livingston.

Yea I know Mac and I agree, there were not enough Bassons, who has been found guilty of doping too, in cycling at the time. The sycophant's who run the sport have so much blame and disgust to wear. Fark me I could not believe one of Armstrong lawyers arguments was "you heard all the rumors you should have known."
