what exactly is it?

Curling is a sport in which players slide stones across a sheet of ice towards a target area which is segmented into four rings. It is related to bowls, boule and shuffleboard. Two teams, each of four players, take turns sliding heavy, polished granite stones, also called "rocks", across the ice curling sheet towards the house, a circular target marked on the ice.[2] Each team has eight stones. The purpose is to accumulate the highest score for a game; points are scored for the stones resting closest to the centre of the house at the conclusion of each end, which is completed when both teams have thrown all of their stones. A game may consist of ten or eight ends.

The curler can induce a curved path by causing the stone to slowly turn as it slides, and the path of the rock may be further influenced by two sweepers with brooms who accompany it as it slides down the sheet, using the brooms to alter the state of the ice in front of the stone. A great deal of strategy and teamwork goes into choosing the ideal path and placement of a stone for each situation, and the skills of the curlers determine how close to the desired result the stone will achieve. This gives curling its nickname of "Chess On Ice".

almost fell asleep reading that XD
so back to hockey

[sneakerheadshady]

We never beat you guys lol you guys always win by a shootout or an ot goal.

whats your guys' record? i havent checked standing in a few days

[sneakerheadshady]

Horrible 7-7-4 a total of 18 points

You guys 11-5-1 with 23 points.

The city of Ottawa is almost in panic mode, its really ugly here right now....hockey hockey hockey thats all were talking about 24/7 no matter where u go.

dang man that stinks.. at least your .500 tho. ill take 11-5 tho mayne

[sneakerheadshady]

true but .500 means nothing with the new divisions, you have to be a top 3 team in your division to make the playoffs and its so much HARDER in the East than the west to make the playoffs....

Nazem Kadri has been suspended three games for interference with Minnesota Wild goaltender Niklas Backstrom during Minnesota's 2-1 shootout win on Wednesday.

i know, new divisions seems dumb as fuck to me

[sneakerheadshady]

[sneakerheadshady]

I think we play the Devils today, finna murk

whats your team

[sneakerheadshady]

I'm worried actually the bruins are for real they took 9 out of 10 points in their last 5 home games. This bruins team can beat u in so many different ways, they're not just in your face hitting game they have skill.

Yep devils gonna lose pain.

man im so lucky to have an excuse to be a boston sports fan. teams always so good

[sneakerheadshady]

I was pissed at Andy's last game due to his bad goals, but once I thought about it more, it's clear it's not only his fault.

Our whole team is really a mess and we should have reasons to panic...
We have some few bright spots but overall it's terrible, our defense is so slow it's incredible, and for a big defense, we are also soft and we lose a lot of battles. We have Karlsson who is always good on offense but then on D he is good 1 game out of 3 this year. We have Methot who is pretty much always safe, and Phillips, who gets bashed and he's having a terrible start.

Cowen and Weircioch are just dumb, decision making is awful, they're slow and soft as butter, and Cowen handles the puck like a grenade.

Then we have our forwards, as much as our D suck, forwards aren't helping them a lot, in our own zone, they are running everywhere, most of the time out of position, covering for each others all over the ice and it always ends up in our net.

OR, they are too far for our D to make a good clean pass out of the zone, gap is too big and Ds struggle cause most of them handle the puck like a grenade.

Ryan is a great player, awesome, Mac too, I like him a lot, Turris has been good this year again. Spezza while my favorite player and his PPG pace, has not been good, I haven't seen him skate like he used to, he's floating out there. Then you can blame the coach for always putting Kassian in and killing the chance that we could have to put 4 lines out there... whenever he's on the ice it kills every momentum we had, we end up in our zone, take a penalty or get gassed out.

i feel like you guys have the potentisal to be good, but havent cashed in on it yet

[sneakerheadshady]

well even the best teams need time to become a unified well functioning team, you know?
