hockey season is fast approaching
seems like some of you guys are into hockey as well, I could set up a Yahoo Sports Pool for this upcoming season, if not enough dudes are interested then pack it in
-

i could most certainly be down for this... hockey season is just around the corner and it could add some extra slap entertainment for sure

never been in one so Im not sure what to do but Im soooooo in.
By this time next season I'll be able to drive to LA for Kings games(even though the ducks are 20 minutes away)

maybe this time next season the kings will have a goalie.....or a defense....

no defiantly not, they had so much cap room this season, i still think they are way under the cap floor, although they overpaid for Stoll BIG TIME, and they lost cammelerri, now they only have kopitar and maybe frolov to produce
-
so that means, your in.
-
well i sure hope im in since im creating the pool
k the pools been made, theres gonna be 14 max teams, obviously one per poster, so far there were i think 6 us
anyways this is a Yahoo Sports Fantasy pool, its free and I think worrying about collecting money and sending it around and whatnot would get to complicated so this pool is for fun!
For the guys joining you will need to create some stuff, a Yahoo email address, sucks i know but whatever.
Im attaching a direct link to the pool, click this link and then follow the directions on registering, team name etc, its all pretty straight forward.
Now this is important. POINTS, in the past with other pools we've had G's, A's, +/-, Powerplay points, shorthanded points, goalie wins and shutouts
This is a rough draft of how it will work and it can change this if no ones down for it
Goals - 1 point
Assists - 1 point
+/- : .5 points (hopefully you all know how this works)
powerplay points: .5
shorthanded points - 2
goalie wins - 2
goalie shutouts - 2
So, for anyone confused, say your player gets a regular, even strength goal, you get the goal (1) and the (.5) for the plus, same thing goes for Powerplay points, if your player gets a point they get (1) + (.5) for a powerplay point
the one thing i realize now in looking at the pool is that shorthanded points are worth too much this would mean that you get 3 points if your player gets a short handed goal or assist, im gonna change that
I am OPEN to suggestions about points scoring, its easy to change we can vote on it if theres any real problems, however, ive used this in the past and its worked really well
this is the link to the pool http://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/hockey?lid=55322 (http://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/hockey?lid=55322)
pool name is: SLAP PALS!

fuck i forgot there is a LIVE draft, this means everyone who creates a team gets randomly selecting for a SNAKE draft system, unfortunately we will all have to be online at the same time for this draft
the draft date and time
October 5th: 7:00pm PACIFIC TIME
-
Oct 5th? plenty of time to catch up,
havnt really followed anything since the strike or whatever years ago.
I'm in.
-
c'mon, is this even a question? of course i'm in.
-
someone pm me when it gets closer so I can remember.
-
+/- : .5 points (hopefully you all know how this works)
i don't know....
over/under?
EDIT=
just so you guys know, Im probably going to blow this draft, i only got back into hockey last season.
EDIT EDIT=
sense I really only pay attention to the Kings, and its really fucking clear that the Kings suck, think anyone could send me a link or pm for who to pick.
I got a couple guys but Im sure these guys will go in a sec.
I can't log in either.

some reason i cant log into it.

seems about right, i was bummed we didnt have one last season
Gonchar got injured agaisnt toronto today, pre season injuries are probably the worst thing ever
-
T.O lost tonight. didnt start playing till like the 3rd period fuckers. and i think gonchar was injured before the game but not sure.
bahaha i heard on sports center i think it was someone was out cause there foot got stuck inbetween the gas peddle and the brake of a golf cart or somethibg along those lines. how does that happen
-
Im BadNewsBears.
Kings won.
When I got NHL09 today i opened the case in the car and there was no game in it, and it was totally wrapped. luckly i had my mom to help make them believe me.

yea that was D eric johnson from the St Louis blues, now they're even more fucked than they were before.
Im so bummed the Canucks didnt sign anyone sufficient for scoring. Not to mention Edmonton and Calgary both got fucking stacked, well Edmonton did for sure, im so surprised we beat them twice
-
im down for this being the official hockey talk thread as well.
pre season injuries are the worst. no matter who it happens to it always gets me mad.
Rangers lost to the devils last night. played a decent game, still pre season nonsense, so hopefully they'll get their act together. they have basically a new team this year so well see how well they mesh together.
-
i will totally pick jaroslav jager, hes going to clean up...
-
Bring back the motherfucking Jets.

it's just preseason though....edmonton's powerplay is going to be nuts this year....i can't really see how the canucks will make the playoffs.....i'm secretly hoping they tank.....ownership leaves....and we start all over.....

my good friend gilbert brule got traded to edmonton a while ago, stoked to see him somewhere where he'll play well as opposed to columbus. he used to be an amazing skateboarder before the career took off.

id almost be up for that as well, i hate this in limbo shit they had last year where they were just scraping by with 1 goal games, its sounds stupid but getting a super star forward for luongo would not be the worst move since schneider is apparently some wonder kid, but we definately need a revamp, i am SO glad we got rid of Naslund, and I hope he has a good season with the Rangers, I like him, he was just so done in vancouver though

its going to be sweet playing against bertuzzi and the flames twice a week for the entire season...

My friend was the first round draft pick for the Blues. Probably not enough to make the Blues my favourite team, but it doesn't hurt. I want Ottawa to be good again, but things sort of fell apart last year. J-Spezz is still the man.

hes going to have a really good season, last was probably his weakest, i know anyone who took him was very unstoked, i can still remember that amazing OT goal he scored agaisnt MTL when he deaked out 3 defenders and went backhand topshelf, that was amazing
I saw Milan Lucic downtown on granville, hes my age and i was super stoked to meet him
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=lB5jYQSWuak
I also saw Ohlund and shook his hand, didnt want to get in his face because he was obviously getting mauled, he looked super coked out haha

i hate the flames...always have.....the jerseys...the city....the stupid hard hats......i think iginla is great...phanuf....but it doesn't matter.... i can't stand the flames....they are the games that i always dread because i hate losing to them.....even when they were in the cup final.... i cheered for tampa.....
w. the canucks....i just see that everyone got better....maybe w. the shake up in the locker room guys will work harder, play the systems better and we'll go back to beating everyone 2-1.....but after watching detroit in the final last year...you see how fast their d was at moving the puck...and how the forwards could just hold onto it forever.....we look like an AHL team....

thats the "slogan" that sportsnet is trying to run with, a gritty "tough" hard working team. I geuss with the addition of Hordichuck we did get tougher, rather than Cowan getting slugged around, the problem is, and always will be, the canucks cant score. After breaking up the west express line, the sedins had to become the first line which in a division as competititve as ours just cant fly, the addition of Demitra wont help our case much, im just waiting for him to get injured, however, all cynicism aside, I have really high hopes for Bernier, Raymond and Kesler, last season towards the end we started to see what Raymonds capable of, put him on the PP, bring up his confidence and he could be a great player.
bah, thats my canucks rant, i love them but i think they are more frustrating than any sports team i follow, actually jays let me down a lot too
-
fuck. its only preseason and im already yelling at my tv. very psyched for the new season though. any of you guys on the east coast? im assuming everyone here is from the west (or into western conference teams)?

i only pay attention to the canucks... and i guess edmonton and calgary too, given how the canucks play them 20 times each per season. demitra has been almost a point-per-game man his whole career, ill be interested to see how he works out. i hope to god that sundin retires, if the canucks get saddled with him theyll be fiscally fucked for years to come...

i was really looking forward to him, all those doors are closed now, i hate how fucking dramatic they make the offseason, however, Sundin can make our team nothing but better, I honestly believe we would make the playoffs if he signed with us.
-
hm, should it be just one "L"? i often use english spelling: travelled, cheque, neighbour...
whats this shit i see on tsn where ohlund might not come back to the canucks? the guy is still a top defenceman in the league... like the bluth company: "solid as a rock"
-
physically??
-
the game has gotten quicker and ohlund's slowed a bit....he's still a top two guy but i don't know for how much longer........he doesn't skate that well....doesn't move the puck that great either....but he's still solid defensively and can step in offensively at times....he always seems to get the OT winners.... i'd hate to see him go though....i'm pretty sure he's the longest standing canuck.....remember when we almost lost him to the leafs?
i think though he might want to take a crack at another team if something comes up.....i think gillis too might just let him go just cause he's still getting his act together....
-
for drafting theres going to be a live online draft, i included the times at the beginning of the thread, however, we still need to order of the draft, its a snake draft for those who dont know it goes from 1-7 but then continues backwards so the last guy gets the 7th and 8th pick, meaning the first guy gets the 1st and 14th pick.
im going to wait a few more days before closing new teams because we have to figure out the draft order, like picking names from a hat or something
edit: i meant 1-7 because we have 7 teams
-
im not the most intelligent person ever. whats 7 pacific in central times. is that 6 or 8? or 5 or 9? im seriously dumb, its sad. no wonder i like the leafs
-

I believe its 2 hours difference so 7 Pacific is 9 Central and 10 Eastern

my good friend gilbert brule got traded to edmonton a while ago, stoked to see him somewhere where he'll play well as opposed to columbus. he used to be an amazing skateboarder before the career took off.
i watched him absolutely rule it here in vancouver when he played on the giants....edmonton will be better for him....a more open game... not like what hitchcock was doing in columbus....

there were rumors of him coming to the rangers too, but given their cap space i dont think it was ever realistic. But, if he did sign with the rangers it'd make sense. we have a history of spending money on super stars who are past their prime

Okay, my team is 'les nordiques redux'. I might change the name.
Also, we have a strict no Rawbertson policy in this league, right?

Luongo is captain
I called it this summer, I said either him or Ohlund, apparently he cant have the C cause hes a goalie, cant do ceremonial faceoffs, and cant talk to the refs to dispute calls Mitchels gonna do that, hes definately the leader of the team this just makes it formal
-
has anyone been following any of the games in europe? the rangers beat some swiss team 8-1 yesterday and they play the league champs today. although that swiss team was definitely not on the same level as the rangers it was nice to see them scoring some goals and working together.
i know ottowa, pittsburgh, and tampa bay are playing out there, any other teams? its pretty fun to see games from out there, the fans are so into it, much like soccer.
-
montreal - detroit game last night was pretty sick. price batting the puck out of the air, so awesome.
-
ugh cujo.. hopefully you play good tonight. at least luke is still playing before they send him back
-
hockey is played on ice not in a pool you dick bags
also hockey blows, you are totally all guys who used to skate and dont skate anymore if u think hockey is cool. sports are fucking gay as fuck. i am mad sick at baseball its way the fuck better than shitty hockey. fuck hockey. its a bag of shit, i run street hockey tho. ill take anyone on i swaer to fuck
In my PM's this morning
do you think i could join the hockey pool if it is not full? i know you probably don't like me that much, i just thought i would ask. thanks.
You are a faggot.

O great now I'm going to have to miss it.
Atleast Im going to October fest.
-
ill be derr
-
draft in 30 minutes, get in there
-
damn that was succesful dudes, stoked on datysuk crosby getzlaf kovalev combo
-
what is this a triple post? fuck.
anyways this is important, for the dudes in the pool, check your roster and make sure that you plan your roster for like a week ahead, what that means is "drag and dropping" your players into their apporpriate slots for the week, if your player is on BN or bench, then you will recieve no points for this player
pretty straight forward, click on "My Team" then click on a date like Thursday October whatever and drag your player from BN to their active position
And to the guys who werent there, you may need to re arrange your team, you need 2 goalies 3 defenseman, and i know some of you didnt have that
PM me if you have any problems
-
is there waivers...trades...all that?
gnar'd...thanks for putting the shit together....
-
is there waivers...trades...all that?
gnar'd...thanks for putting the shit together....
theres no waivers and if there is ill change it, yes there are trades but they are voted on by the rest of the pool to make sure there not grossly lopsided
glad we could get this pool together and some other pals dig hockey
-
stoked on this. i should go to my rosters now
-
I got a bunch of dudes I willing to trade.
But don't ask about Jiggy or Fleury.
-
FUCK. missed the draft. overselpt from being drunk and watching the rangers during the day. i dont even want to look at who i have right now
-
im sure your players arent bad at all
canucks traded Krijeck for Shane O'brien, a big tough motherfucker, used to watch him fight when he played on Anaheim, im so stoked on Gillis recent moves, putting Cowan on waivers, getting someone tougher and bigger.
We signed michelle oullet too from tampa bay, he did well in pittsburgh im interested to see if he can play on our fourth line and work his way up
edit: and Jsoy, you dont have any points because we didnt have our players yet so scoring starts on the thursay, kind of lame if you stocked up on ottawa, rangers, tampa bay or pittsburgh, ill look into it to see if i can change that
-
yeah son both redden and naslund have 2 points each i should be winnin this shit :p haha it doesnt really bother me
-
yeah son both redden and naslund have 2 points each i should be winnin this shit :p haha it doesnt really bother me
coming from a ranger fan, don't get your hopes up haha. nah hopefully they'll come through. they seem to be playing pretty well with all the new guys on the team
also, i just noticed i get the NHL network for free with Directv. way psyched on that

if you sub your players in do you get their points retroactive? Or just from that point on....
-
if you sub your players in do you get their points retroactive? Or just from that point on....
you get points from when you pick up the players, so no the points do not carry over, thats why its all about picking up a guy when he becomes hot and thus dropping a guy if hes sucking balls

the bourdon tribute had me near teary eyed. so fucking sad

So... the flyers lost to their farm team and the leafs beat the wings?
What the fuck is going on?

canucks score 6 goals? bizzaro nhl....

rangers home opener tonight! uncles got season tickets but my pops is most likely goin. theyre coming off a HUGE preseason/first two games of season so the crowd should be rowdy. looking forward to coming home from work, drink a few tall boys and watching the game.
wtf? flyers lost to their farm team? yikes
as far as my team goes.. not as bad as i thought it was gonna be considering i missed the draft. got gaborik, hossa, jokinen and a few others. well see how it turns out

-
what does util and BN mean? i know IR is injured reserve but i dont know what the others mean.
Util means Utility, you can use any forward or defense man to fill that slot, BN means bench, so make sure you switch your players who are playing from BN to their appropriate slots
some nights you wont be able to play all of your players like tonight, when there is lots of games so its a decision in who you think will do well
when a player is on BN you get NO points for that player
-
so... bieksa is broken again, as usual.
unlike jsoy, i have no particular gripe with the flames. however, i hate their game presentation... lame music selection, bad timing. waaaay too extreme
-
so... I'm definitely going to set a league record for least points in the season. I barely get around to watching a game, let alone knowing what's up with different players and then updating my roster.
-
Well my dad couldn't pay for all the tickets but so we dropped all the Kings Ducks games at the Staples Center(where the kings play) atleast it was only the kings.

I don't really know why but they do everything wrong until the playoffs and then then everything gets better, the music especially.
And speaking of the Canucks-Flames game right now is pretty ridiculous. Lot of goals in the second.
-
that was a pretty good game! glad it was on tv... some questionable non-calls in the last 5 or 6 minutes, ha!
and i should clarify: the saddledome looks great. way better than gm, where no one ever bothers with the little details that can make a lot of difference. but i really didnt like the opening ceremony and the in-house announcing, which sounded even more like a monster truck show than most other arenas do...
-
Whoever that cock was that had that awful dive after Phaneuf pushed him needs a firm punch in the mouth. Shameful.
I've never been inside GM Place but from the outside it's seriously the drabbest looking building I've ever seen. But I can certainly agree with the wackness of the Flames' opening ceremonies. They're always set to awful songs (when the fuck has U2 ever pumped anyone up for sports) and sometimes laughably melodramatic.
Sometimes I wonder what hockey would be like if it was more like soccer and the fans had to generate the atmosphere instead of just blaring crappy rock music at every opportunity and telling you when to cheer.
-
phaneuf? by the pissing and moaning after the call...it was clearly bertuzzi.....

yea the "hit" was on ryan johnson, if it was agaisnt us id be pissed cause he sold it hard
i was in the middle of downtown watching the game from outside of a bar and screamed in the middle of the street when we scored in o.t
i was super bummed no one else cheered

yea dude, that would be so sick. the pre season game the rangers played in switzerland looked so fun. everyone was constantly chanting and cheering

pretty rad huh.
Pretty bummed about the canucks tonight.
-
Just found out Teemu Salanne lives in the town next to mine, my dad says he goes to Finland in the off season but he's seen him around a few times.
-
i'm bummed that my avs lost another game. we kept coming back, but goaltending is seriously going to be to death of them this year.
also, i know there are some leafs fans, but honestly, whats the deal with hollweg? that checking from behind shit two games in a row? uncalled for.

yea he wasnt really liked when he was a ranger for these exact things. he can hit but hes also excessive and dumb sometimes
-
i cant believe you dropped gaborik dude, i still cant believe it
do you really think aaron voros? is that his name, will get more points than gabby
-
hah yea dumb move on my part. shouldve dropped hossa instead. i donno though, voros on the same line as zherdev and dubi has been looking pretty good so well see. and its fun when you have guys who are on the same team that you follow on your fantasy team.
nevertheless, yes, im an idiot

no its definately a good line, im just suprised you didnt have anyone else on your team you could have dropped instead, i would have been MORE shocked with a hossa drop for a 2nd line checking center on a hot streak
nevertheless, your beating me in the pool so i cant pass any judgement until i pass you think weekend which i will ;D
on a seperate note though .
BURROWS, fuck he did it again.
Ill predict now that when the canucks DO make the playoffs it will be because of our third line checking forwards
Im scared at the thought of re-signing Kesler long term, apparently every team wants him right now
-
probably why they gave him the A...and why they gave captain lou the C.....we want to keep them....
that goal burrows got....if that was naslund last year, he would have peeled off into the corner...not gone to the net....my point total of 'really..how many goals do you expect burrows to get??" is slowly going up....I think I now have him conservatively pegged at 21....
gaborik's a good pick up with this sort of pool cause you can insert him in and out....it's his final year and I think minni's going to sack the coach and sign him long term or he's gone....mid season....
-
saw aquilini at the gym today....never heard anyone say anything good about the guy....i'm not too stoked on our ownership group...... he kinda seemed like a goon....good to see him use a community centre though....
-
i just checked my roster today, and half of my forwards are injured or have some other complication.
-
when you add a player, do you get points for him for the very next game? I noticed that on the add a player list, it automatically shows what games the players have tomorrow instead of today.
-
Anyone who is near a tv WATCH TSN, there is such a crazy world junior championship game with Canada against the States, so many dirty sticks, brutal hits and pretty crazy goals, havent been this stoked on a hockey game for a while
-
yeah i dont usually watch these tournaments but i randomly put this on and its a great game. it was 3-1 for the us when i started watching and now its 5-4 canada in the second.
-
yeah im battles in the pool, i blew it and missed the draft so ive been trying to make good trades but you've been owning it so far
-
Well this year was a real hit and miss pool, should have made it without the bench players, should have realized people dont have time everyday to switch up their roster, was planning on creating a slap playoff pool but never got around to it
Next year itll be better, hopefully we get a few more people

ha i came into work today with intentions of posting in this thread. yea it turns out i didnt really have time to keep up with my team. it started getting too hard to do shit like that at work, and at home the last thing i wanna see is a computer.
but, playoffs start today. the rangers play washington and im hoping they can keep a hold on ovechkin. we've had a rocky season but theyve been playing better since tortorella came on board. we'll see. what are your thoughts on your teams?
-
Here's my predictions
Boston vs. Montreal: Montreal's done in 5 they don't stand a chance with Markov injured.
Washington vs. NYR: The Rangers can't keep up with WSH's offense, also the Rangers have been brutal on the road, Caps sweep
NJ vs Carolina: This one could go either way but I'm gonna go with Carolina in 7 they were to good in the last part of the season to not pick them
Pittsburgh vs. Philly: Pittsburgh has been amazing in the last part of the season but I'm gonna say Philly in seven because of how balanced there offense is
San Jose vs. Anaheim: San Jose in 6, this looks like it could be the year for San Jose they have everything you need to win a cup
Detroit vs. Columbus: Even with Steve Mason the Jackets don't stand a chance with Detroit's offense and Columbus doesn't have enough experience to pull an upset, Wings in 5
Vancouver vs. St Louis: I almost want to take St Louis because of how strong they were at the end but it would be hard to for the nucks to loose with Luongo in net, Vancouver in 6
Chicago vs. Calgary: Chicago because of how banged up the Flames are and I think Jokinen and Cammalari will play real bad, Chicago in 6

i'm choked i missed this thread till just now. oh well, maybe next time. i can't wait to see my team spank those stupid cowboy hick fucks. god i fuckin hate calgary. i hate them more than i hate gravel in the skatepark.

God I feel stupid looking at my old post.
I've been in hawaii the last week and a half and I haven't been able to update my team. Next year if I make the draft date i'll be a lot better.
God, I hope the kings have a big off season, fucking christ I hope we get a star player. We did a lot this year and I bet we make the playoffs next season.
Go to the hockeyfuture.com forum if you want a good hockey message board.
They should trade for Kovalchuk and sign him long term, the kings will make the playoffs next year, there defense will be to good not to
-
They have a superstar in Kopitar but need better secondary scoring and a Goalie, I think they've gone through more goalies since the lockout then any team

I cant believe Washingtons gonna lose, I fucking hate theodore he blows games for them so badly, I want these guys to do well Ovie and Green are way too sick
-
Ya Theodore was incredibly shaky, Ovechkins my favorite for sure he had like 15 shots tonight
-
very surprised the rangers won last night. its gonna be a tough series for them to keep up with washington. we just need to get the puck on net more, theodore isn't looking too good. thank god we have lundqvist, we probably wouldnt've made the playoffs without him
-
Ya Rangers played a perfect game last night, they knew the Caps weakness
Lundqvist was incredible in the first he kept them in it
-
"you watch the caps rangers game?"
"yeh"
"what happened?"
"Teeodore happened"
"stoooops..."

There is nothing more I love than watching the Devils beat the shit outta the gay ass canes. I fucking love playoffs.

I dont know how anyone thinks Crosby is better than Ovechkin, Crosbys so overated
-
Ive been good with with my predictions with the exception of Washington losing and SJ probably losing, they're down 1-0, I fucking hate Anaheim, so fucking much
-
i'm going all favourites in the west....in the east one of the middle teams will upset...washington will win....boston will win...not sure about the other two....
i got to go to the canucks game last night...and tomorrow...stoked...
-
Im going to go in a week if there's a game 5, never though i'd say this but almost want them to lose one just so i can see them play

let's just talk about the the eastern conference, and ignore detroit. a series with the fucking blue jackets...

Canucks are all but through, im pretty stoked on that

As much as I hate the flames I can never hate on Iginla, guys a class act and a real Canadian hockey player
Canucks swept, fucking stoked
-
Hate on Bertuzzi all you want, realize that he hasn't won over our fan base either. But how you can really hate on anyone else on our roster knowing you have a couple of players as annoying in every possible way as the Sedin twins is laughable.

the guys are consistent point producers, theyll only continue to look better and theyve looked great in the playoffs, cant say the same for Chokinen or Calamari, guys are blowing it, and that second goal from Moss? Kick it in why dont you, you guys should be out in the first round
-
Our two guys who've never played in the playoffs, there's a surprise.
Lac La Biche. That is all.
"should be out in the first round"? They sneaked two home games by a goal a piece, we take it back to Calgary and win convincingly. Form is on our side.

unfortunately, you guys are still down, regardless of your "form" you still need to win at home and then it'll be a series, iginla will have one hell of a strong game tomorrow, canucks have a nice long break, get everyone healthy for when we face chicago, ill be at game 1

We are going to outplay them tomorrow, the only factor working against us is sluggish Vandermeer and Phaneuf who is playing way too many minutes because of our injuries. Well within our ability to take it, and I forsee us snaking them completely at home and putting the pressure on.

cool....then you can hate bertuzzi too! How can you hate on the twins when you have that douche Phaneuf on your team? Of course you can hate the twins...it's a stupid argument...way to stand up for your team though.....
I like iginila too....
-
In honesty what's wrong with Phaneuf? He's given Flames fans more reasons to hate him this year than anybody else. I back the guy, but the first two games of this series were spent expecting the Hawks goals and then waiting for the replay so we could see which Phaneuf mistake led to them.
-
i hate him because he doesn't have a twin brother to cycle the puck with....
-
im fuckin psyched for this game. it really could go either way but with kane back in the picture along with toews, havlat and sharp there will be one hell of a force to be fucked with. this asian chick is hella cute. who am i kidding? the flames will be gassed by the third and our speedy bastards will take full advantage. the sea of red is somethin else though. must be a serious mind fuck to play there.
edit: it really bugs me how hard the media rides calgarys dick, atleast around here anyway.
-
Shit, I had to write an exam so I only caught the last 6 minutes, must have been one hell of a game. Heart's beating out of my chest right now, those last few minutes after Nystrom's goal were so nerve wracking.
Eight of these are in order

that old style looks mighty tasty. wish i could be watching some of those western conference games. have any of them been on vs.? i dont even get that channel but i might look into it for next year if they are. rangers took game four last night. avery continues to take dumb penalties and lundqvist and the penalty kill were there to save his ass as usual. i dont know how many times ive said it in this thread hah, but we need to score goals if were gonna get any further.

The rangers got so lucky, caps hit 3 or 4 posts last night, Lundqvist saved them i couldnt believe it
-
Its dope, in Canada we literally get every game in the playoffs, the American games on TSN and the Canadian teams and big name Canadian players (penguins) and gay ol crosby on CBC
I am so unstoked on Washington tanking right now, Lundqvist is so clutch, I really wanted to see Ovechkin go far but it wont happen now
Im wrong on one so far
Calgary will lose next game, Canucks should sweep in OT right now, Bruins will sweep, Washington in 6, Penguins in 6, Red Wings sweep, New Jersey in 7, Anahiem will probably take it in 5

hopefully the canes can pull out a win tonight, is there anywhere on the internet to watch the games, i hardly get any games here on camous, except for the caps and i hate the caps

philly took a bunch of dumb penalties but whatever.

Carcillo seems to not know when to take penalties and Richards is definitely money. I think they need to invest in a defender and a consistent goal tender.

Wow that Canes Devils game was fucking regular, never seen a goalie look so dejected, Carolina literally stole that game
Vancouver Blackhawks series should be good, I expect to take it in 6 with the way our year has gone against them, plus detroit will be banged up enough from Anaheim so we have a really good shot at making it to the Cup finals against Boston

I can't really see it going anywhere but to game 7. Just seems like a pretty even match all around.

i was too disappointed to even watch the rest of the devil game. after the rangers lost i flipped to it, watched them score and turned it off. superrr surprised (and happy) this morning when i found out they lost. looked like they had a handle on them. i guess thats the playoffs for ya though

So stoked for Pens vs Caps the dream series, fuck that pussy crosby
-
Not to worry baxter your team will lose, no question
-
anyone watching the caps penguins right now, fucking unreal game, so stoked on this series
they listed the awards and scoring titles before the game and i was blown away, forgot how much talent is in this series
-
Its an amazing game back and forth
-
Ovechkin and Crosby were unreal yesterday 6 goals between the two of them is amazing, of course Ovechkins goals were nicer though.
And Baxter the NHL would move Detroit to the east at any chance they get
-
Oh my, fucking so hyped on that game with crosby and ovechkin, even more stoked that the canucks could win on the road tonight, seriously fuck Anaheim though.
Boston needs to pull up their socks and fucking pick it up
-
the nhl must be jizzing themselves over the caps/pens series. hockey needed something like this
-
agree with just aboot everything frisco said. I like the caps and the pens, and this series is awesome.
Somewhat stoked on Balsillie's offer to move another team to southern Ontario, although I highly doubt it will happen.

The GTA alone has 5 million people, and one team. I'd love another local team to cheer on (actually, a first - I'm not a leafs fan), and not be forced to continue paying a retardedly high amount for tickets at the ACC.
Besides, they're not doing any good in Phoenix, anyway.

a couple caps games its a pretty sick deal

Fucking Christ, Canucks could have more or less sealed up the series with this win to make it 3-1, now were headed to overtime, on the road, and they have all the momentum
I take back every nice thing I've ever said about Willie Mitchell

I've been waiting for soooo long for Caps to get this far.... fingers crossed
If *knock on wood*, the canucks get eliminated, caps are my team, even if they are down
I fucking hate all the other teams except boston, and somewhat detroit because if they win I win 250$ thanks to Franzen
-
of all of the teams that made the playoffs, i dont think i could be more uninterested in any match up than i am with boston and carolina.
pens/caps, on the other hand, is pretty crazy. I like both teams, and it's been an awesome series so far. I think pittsburgh is marginally better, but it would be crazy to see washington do well just because of how quickly that team was turned around. from the west, i've always liked detroit, but they dont seem to be quite as much of a sure thing as they were in years past. I've always been quite good at predicting winners in hockey, but I'm finding it real hard to make predictions this year, possibly because I didn't watch nearly as much hockey this year as I did before.
-
Patrick Kane, take a bow son. What a pair of games tonight. Caps - Pens was as awesome as always, and then to have such a back and forth offensive display with the Canucks and Hawks, great stuff.
Now I just have to pray it's not down to Carolina - Detroit for the cup. If the Hawks and Caps made it I think that would be pretty much the perfect series.
-
Drank my sorrows away, we just couldnt hack it, I love my fucking team, but that was absolutely heart breaking tonight, coming back down from 3-1 to be up 5-4 only to allow that 5'4 12 yr old american prick to score a hat trick
Theres always next year

I don't really care who wins, all the games have been so godo to watch. I'd like to see a pens-hawks final.
-
Seriously the Caps are the best team to watch so much talent, I'm nervous as fuck for game 7 though. I think to win they have to
Play hard for 60 minutes which they havent done in the series yet and to get some secondary scoring they need someone else to step up (Semin where are you??) Yesterday was the best game they played yet though
-
It'll probably come down to Varlamov. If he lets in the kind of goals he did in game 5 he'll be making things much more difficult, and he's up against a goalie who's actually been in these situations before; I wouldn't count on Fleury to choke. Sure to be interesting.

MAF to me has seemed shaky, Varlamov is the only reason were in the playoffs right now I'll accept his one or two week ones if hes stopping 40 other shots a night

what a fucking breakdown, 5-0 in the second period, the Capitals are fucking done
I have no one to cheer for in the playoffs now, maybe detroit because I hate Anaheim and Chicago so much
-
im so bummed right now i watched them play 70 games this year and saw how good they can be and then to see them play like this is so frustrating fuck
-
I would have been happy either way, but I was leaning a little more towards Pittsburgh. They're definitely the better team, and I'd want them to go through because their odds of making it through the next series are far better, although I don't expect them to get past the conference finals. From what's left, I only like Pittsburgh and Detroit, and I doubt either team will end up taking it, if they even get to the cup finals.
-
Hoping Boston goes through, Carolina's been pretty much blacklisted for me since their person fans booed the Canadian anthem when they played Edmonton. I'm pretty much neutral at this point, but Crosby has been winning me over and if Malkin gives me a reason to like him I'll be backing Pittsburgh pretty hard.
-
i just can't bring myself to give a shit about the eastern conference. especially with washington out of the picture.

The Caps Pens series was one of the best matchups of all time, superstars, 3 OT games, 4 games decided by a goal
Fuck it was unreal, sucks caps lost

ive been to two hurricane games in my life (saw gretzky when he was with new york, got his autograph, shits framed now) and ive been a huge fan since they moved from hartford, but both games i went to the fucking redneck nascar fans, that are so prevalent in that area, were unbelievably obnoxious and regular i got mad second hand embarrassment, after that i vowed to only go to games at other stadiums, so i completely understand the hate.... that being said im hyped for the game tomorrow but i doubt carolina will win, passed two games they've played super sluggish

scott walker sucker punched ward not cole, coles not much of a fighter, that shit was craze though ward played for the canes couple seasons back, i think he and walker played together
-
damn yeah thats right, it wasnt cole i dont know why i wrote that. that shit really pissed me off though hah. this last games going to be crazy
-
Hoping Boston goes through, Carolina's been pretty much blacklisted for me since their person fans booed the Canadian anthem when they played Edmonton. I'm pretty much neutral at this point, but Crosby has been winning me over and if Malkin gives me a reason to like him I'll be backing Pittsburgh pretty hard.
Rest assured, the ultra-classy massholes have booed the canadian national anthem many a time.
Hawks v. Bruins for the final, Hawks win. Or that's how i'd like to see it.

I'm really curious what Ovechkin was saying to Gonchar when they had their little 20 second discussion during the handshakes.

looked like he was explaining that hit, with the amount of slo mo replays ive seen it didnt look intentional, you can clearly see gonchar jump out of the way and get nailed by ovechkins knee

im rooting for chicago now. cant really bring myself to like the pens or boston
-
hawks/pens in the final, hawks take it in 6
-
hawks/pens in the final, hawks take it in 6
Not a chance, I like Chicago but they will most likely have to play Detroit who they couldnt compete with I dont think Chicago could handle Detroits mix of experience and skill. My playoffs now consist of hoping Pittsburgh looses it sucks. I read today that 7 Caps player were hurt including Semin, Green, Ovechkin honestly I couldnt tell Ovechkin was hurt but Green and Semin were noticeable for sure
-
hawks/pens in the final, hawks take it in 6
they don't have nearly enough depth to win the cup this year. It is definitely foolish to say this while two game 7's still have to happen tonight, so nobody quote me on this, but I'm thinking detroit, boston, or possibly anaheim will take it.
-
itll be Detroit Pittsburgh again maybe Boston
-
whata game, pretty ironic walker scored the winning goal, penguins and canes in the conference final should be pretty awesome
-
I am sure glad I bought a Zdeno Chara shirt today :'( :'(

Pens - Red Wings it is.
-
fuck yeah, pittsburgh. stoked they made it this far. I'm glad Detroit is taking it in the west, but that was a bit more obvious. I'd be incredibly stoked if Pittsburgh ends up beating Detroit, but that's a real long shot. Still, two teams I like are almost sure to make it to the finals, and I'm sure it will be good.
-
ugh i hate the pens if the wings beat them in the finals two years in a row that would be perfect
-
When Hossa left for detroit I seriously said
"watch them make it to the finals and lose to the penguins"
the ultimate cock slap in the face
-
soo........let's go blackhawks?
-
yeah detroits just going to run on train on the blackhawks tonight most likely, same with the pens.
-
erica kane is hot.
I want to pens to win, but I am content either way, they are both amazing teams.
-
I hope the Hawks give them a bit of a fight. Even if only to stall them a bit and tire them out before the Pens have to deal with them.

I hope the Hawks give them a bit of a fight. Even if only to stall them a bit and tire them out before the Pens have to deal with them.
i've got some pretty mixed feelings in this regard. on the one hand, i love the blackhawks like an illegitimate bastard child loves his whore-mother and want to see them do as well as i know they can. however, i also know that all good things must come to an end, and if my boys gotta go out they may as well be taken by the most solid team in the league. also on this hand, i fuckin hate the penguins and would love nothing more than to see them fail. im not exactly sure where this fits into anything though. corny homo's.
5 minutes in, not lookin good. :(
-
Well, game 6 tonight, I'd be pretty bummed to see detroit just smoke them again and win the cup, I have a feeling Pittsburgh will bounce back, and then detroit will win in game 7 at home, as stoked as id be to see crosby raise the cup (which he will soon), I have a good amount of money riding on detroit winning but because of a hockey pool not because theyre my favourite team, in any other circumstance id say fuck detroit
Some faily big news is Heatly wants out of Ottawa and the big rumour is Vancouver is his destination, the guy would almost have as big of an impact as Luongo did, he needs to get the fuck out of ottawa
Emery is going to be the Flyers goalie next year too, for all you philly fans

Heatley is one of my favourite players, if he went to Vancouver it would kill me. Either way if he does manage to leave Ottawa is completely fucked.
And I have to feel the cup is in Fleury's hands. I back that dude so hard, I hope he can turn things around in game 7. He needs some justice for having lost that World Junior final on such shitty circumstances.
-
good game last night, listened to that shit on AM radio, I'm stoked to see the series go to agame 7, although apparently he stats are that the home team in all three,NHL MLB, and the NBA always wins game 7, and the last raod time in all3 sports to win game 7 of the finals was the pittsburg pirates in 79' am radio is my favorite
go pens
-
I don't care about hockey really and don't follow it. But, i watched the end of that game last name and that ruckus in the goal was insane. made me hyped on the sport
-
Fleury stole that game.... fuck
-
moose won last night holding on for dear life. back to winnipeg for game six and seven.
....not that anyone cares
i was hoping to see detroit win last night so i could go to the moose game friday but its sold out any way. so i tried to get tickets for sunday and its also sold out. fuck!
-
GAME 7
They are sick in any sport that has a best of 7 series, but for the Stanley Cup? I dont care whose playing im hyped
I almost want to see the Penguins win just to see Crosby holding up the cup, even though I'll lose money if Detroit loses
Fuck im getting stoked

Psyched for Fleury. Malkin's post game interview was hilarious.
-
yeah...i always felt bad for him after the world jr's.....when they were passing the cup around i was wondering why he held it so late....i guess they planned that or something....the funniest part was the malkin interview....
-

dude i said the exact same thing, it looked like it went via seniority, geurin was first after crosby then down the line, malkin got it really late too, and that interview was fucking hilarious
Was a great game, I lost some money though.
Detroit still lost but I still won my pool because of previous points, win win
Im so bummed they won on the road though, happened with detroit last year too, its not the same
-
woaah caps/rangers at yankee stadium would be so dope. although if they reallly wanted to sell that shit out theyd make it rangers/devils.
flyers vs. bruins should be good though. seeing hockey at fenway would be pretty crazy

Draft day
Tavares first overall, Pronger to Philly for a fucking shit load, Lupul 2 first round picks and Sbisa
Kings got Schenn, r o y you gotta be stoked, you guys will probably get Cammeleri, pretty sure hes decided to walk
-
i wonder how far over the cap philly is.....
-
Vancouver got the steal of the whole draft in american Jordan Schroeder
He was projected to go in the top 10 and amazingly even the top 5, we got him 22nd
With him and Hodgson, our future is looking fucking bright
-
The draft was a bit boring but heres my thoughts..
Thank god the Islanders didn't fuck up the Tavares pick should have been a no brainer
The kings are gonna be a force Schenn is gonna surprise a lot of people like Luke last year
I almost pissed myself laughing at the leafs picking Kadri when Cowan and MPS were still on the board
And the Caps pretty much wasted a pick drafting a kid with many concussion problems
Frisco, Vancouver got a steal but I didnt see one draft with him even going in the top 10, him and Hodgeson will be a force for years to come though
-
How'd Edmonton do?
-
Here's hoping Calgary didn't fuck up as much as it looks like they did. Picking up a kid just because of a good WJC tourney didn't seem very logical with the other players that were still available. He also seemed completely disinterested when he got picked. Oh well, I hope we see more of Mikael Backlund next year, kid's killing it.
And I guess we got bouwmeester, interesting.
-
How'd Edmonton do?
Most people are saying that had a great draft, but again they drafted a ton of small prospects like always
They drafted a couple kids who could potentially play with Hemsky in a year or twoHere's hoping Calgary didn't fuck up as much as it looks like they did.

Calgarys pick is a classic Sutter pick, i was surprised they took him when there was plenty of good players still on the board
and you kind of got bouwmeester you got his negociating rights which basically means your the only team that cant talk to him about a contract
come july 1 anyone can talk to them so basically the flames gave up a third and Leopold to talk to Bouwmeester
-
like philly...how does calgary sign boumeester? they didn't have money for camallari....
gillis may be onto something in vancouver....prioritizing your assets....sign louie first...and hopefully the rest will follow..i have a feeling the canucks will be pretty similar to last year less ohlund and sundin....i think we'll sign the twins though...

i agree, the addition of Hodgson will be really nice, seems like a good fit with kesler depending on if we pick up Gaborik or not, he bought a house in Vancouver and theres huge speculation hes close to signing with us or LA, Ohlund is gone, and hopefully Sundin too
The Sedins aren't budging with their 12 year demand though, fucking pricks, it seriously makes me mad they think they could be making 5 million or more when they are 40 at the end of their career, they are no Ovechkin or Zetterberg who signed similar deals
-
Well, I'm stoked on Schenn, I havent seen him play and I hope he can play LW. I wasnt actually expecting us to use the 5th though, I was almost sure we would have traded it.
We traded Brian Boyle to the Rangers for a 3rd in 2010. I wish the kings gave him more of a chance, at least more than a few games a year. We need(ed) size. He wasnt worth a second but I wish we could have packaged him with someone else for a legit player.
On the pronger trade, I think the ducks got the best of it considering he only has a year left on his contract too. Not to mention everyone says his wife wont stand being anywhere other than the oc.
Whats the flames salary cap situation now? bad?
Did you see how mad Burke was when LA took Schenn one of the best parts of the draft for sure
Eh the flyers did give up quite a bit for Pronger but I heard he's gonna sign an extension which makes the deal not as bad
and the flames right now are about 6 million below the cap so they have room for Jay Bo which would make there D one of the best in the league forsureExpand Quote

I really hope the Canucks don't get the man made out of glass(Gaborik) they'll regret it next year when the caps expected to go down by about 5 million and there fucked
-
if we sign the twins..no way we're signing gaborik....there will be no money left...especially if louie has a new deal....don't want too much up against the cap because we have to sign kessler next year too....

Pretty much all comes out of Cammalleri's old contract, getting rid of overpaid Vandermeer and it looks like no more Bertuzzi.
-
they took on jokinen though too....i think they're gearing up to dump phaneuf if they can.....i dunno why you'd let camallari go to sign another defenceman...he clicked perfectly w. iginla...i think sutter's just doing whatever he can right now to keep his job...they aren't planning for the future....all i know is i hope they suck.....i hate calgary..
-
I dont think theres any way they dump Phaneuf, he feels like their future captain, sounds like Calamari and Big Bert are on their way out, the thought of Phaneuf and Boumeester on the same pairing freaks me out
I wont lie ill be really pissed if we dont do anything and just re sign the sedins, itll handcuff us for the future with luongo seeing as he wants 8 fucking million for 5 years, Id really like to resign Kesler too
I just want a different looking team offensively than last year

Cammalleri was never going to be a multi-season player for us anyways, especially after he had such a good year. Phaneuf won't go anywhere anytime soon either. Sutter is doing the right things at the moment. We ditch some dead weight on defence and improve our powerplay and things will click. We don't need all of Cammalleri's 39 goals next season so long as we keep a more disciplined defence (and lose Bertuzzi's constant penalties) and find a decent enough place for Jokinen to do work.
I'm sure Vancouver is going to have fun trying to replace two 80-point players at once.
-
if you sign the twins...you have no room for anything else...if you don't sign them.....yeah...you have to be a genius to replace that kind of consistent scoring...or maybe we can just improve our defence, right?
I don't think Calgary's looking to dump Phaneuf right away...I think that's one of the reasons why they brought in sutter to coach, but last year I think he was a bit of a sideshow and a disappointment....definitely not captain material.....he's young though...pronger was just plain dumb for half his career too....but sometimes though...phaneuf makes mcabe look smart.....
As much as I hate Calgary..I like Iginla and it bums me out seeing him lose a decent linemate....
-
I have to figure that knowing the kind of season he had last year and that he could very well be paired up with Bouwmeester, he'll have to find motivation somewhere. I still have some faith in the guy, despite his 1 on 5 rushes and the playoff screwups.
Has there been any speculation about where the Sedins would go if Vancouver don't give in? I don't know who's in a position to go for that kinda money.

maybe LA, Toronto seemed like they were the frontrunners, that would be a pretty weird spot for them to end up, but cap room wise it seems theyd be the two, plus Burke landed them in van in the first place
I would have really liked to get Lupul
seems like gaborik is all but signed with us, hope cammeleris next

i heard montreal too....they got lots of cap space....toronto shouldn't get them as they are in re-building phase but burke doesn't really build teams through drafting or waiting so I guess it's possible....LA would actually be a good fit but they'd have a tough time signing all their young stars in a year or two.....
what I kinda don't get though is if we don't sign the twins.....will gaborik and camallari come cheaper? would they sign shorter term deals? gaborick made 7.5 last year....camallari actually was a steal at 3.5ish......but I don't think he's that good unless you have him with another really good player...super good one timer but unless you have someone feeding it to him all the time.....
hey...anyone know why boston was getting rid of kessel? I guess cause he's an RFA, and someone's gonna offer him something nuts....I'd take that guy.....
-
i hope those faggot sedins get hit by a bus while holding hands on their way to negotiate a contract. i think out of any player or team in the entire league, i hate them the most. more than i hate calgary. i'd really like to see vancouver do well but i can't back them if they have those god damn homo erotic ginger finger banging cock shining aliens.
-
So Bouwmeester signed for 5 years at $6.6 million, but that was pretty predictable. Hopefully tomorrow is interesting.
-
Should be very interesting
Gomez to the habs, higgins back the other way, Johnny Oduya resigned so the Canucks need to look to Francouis Beachuimen because doesnt seem like Scott Neidermeyer will sign with us and Boumeesters gone
Mike Komisarek probably off to Washington, and Saku Koivu is most likely going to Anahiem, Rob Blake also resigned with the sharks so defence is dwidling
Gillis traveled to Sweden, pitched a new offer to the Sedins but no word yet, if they dont sign then Cammeleri and Gaborik might be coming our way, which I would love more than the Sedins
-
Will you guys have enough money for 2 big players though? You only get around 7 mill in cap space from both of the Sedins, and Cammalleri and Gaborik are both 6 mill+ players.
-
whoa big news
looks like Heatleys an oiler
fuck canucks are pretty fucked if we dont sign the sedins, but they were looking for 6 mil + as well, and wasnt Cammeleri only making something like 3.5 last season?
I really have no idea if we have the cap but im sure losing ohlunds contract will help
-
doesn't surprise me about edmonton....i thought the vishnoski and souray deals were good but for everyone one of those...there's a penner signing... or a vanek offer....heatley's going to wish he was back in atlanta before you know it.....
I'm guessing gillis pulls it off...one..you know they want to play here...and two.....who can even take them on? Montreal's out....
Hey...moderators...if you wanna sink this thread....I understand....
-
I cant believe the Rangers got rid of Gomez and his shit contract terrible deal for Montreal.
Edmonton gets no love again haha
-
yea Heatley didnt waive his no movement clause and is staying in Ottawa for the time being, he has to be dealt by tomorrow at midnight or Ottawa has to pay that 4 million bonus
hahah Edmonton fans got duped, everyone was so hyped thinking theyd get rid of penner and his ridiculous contract and get a 50 goal scorer in heatley

i heard something about lecavalier going to montreal. can anyone back this up?

it was a rumour....but i don't think they can do it now they took gomez....

Well I like the length of the sedins deal, 5 years, but then we have to sign luongo for a large amount, im still not stoked on giving them 6.1 every season and a NMC
Hossa signed a 12 year deal in Chicago, hes gonna be 42 years old, say goodbye to Havlat Kane Sharp, doubt theyd dump the captain

The cap hit is only 5 million great value for Chicago
Hossa is a huge upgrade over Havlat, Havlat is a huge risk this year was the first year he was injury free
more like good bye Toews, Kane and Keith but I have a feeling Chicago has a plan for dealing with there cap problems next year like giving Kane Toews and Keith 15 year contracts that are incredibly front loaded with a cap hit around 4 million each and then find a sucker for Campbell

yeah thats one hell of a contract. i wonder how much he's gettin for that long. but with khabibulan goin to edmonton and havlat gone thats gotta free up some cap space right!?!? RIGHT?!?!! PLEASE?!
-
If the Oilers still manage to grab Heatley, with him and Khabibulin they're going to be looking like a much better team next year already.
-
Canucks are all but fucked, we got worse by losing lolhund and didnt add anyone, were gonna have to trade to try and make our team better, i want to get rid of pyatt, maybe trade bernier raymond and something for an upgrade in a second line center
Montreals top line is literally the smallest in the leaugue, Cammeleri Gomez Gionta, averages like 5"10
Fucking Gaborik going to the Rangers, Havlat Koivu and Kovalev are pretty much the only big names left, watch Koivu go to Anaheim and of course Vancouver will lose out
were pretty fucked
-
I really thought LA would add the top 6 forward they need to be a solid playoff team to bad I guess
Jesus Gaineys throwing Montreals money around like its nothing giving Cammalari 6 million a year is to fucking stupid, the Canadians are gonna have big problems against the tougher teams in the conference like Philly and Toronto
I think the Caps had the smartest pickup getting Knuble for dirt cheap all the Caps needed to go further was more grit which Knuble definetly brings
-
yeahhhh gaborik! haha, jk guys. hopefully he can stay healthy, but being a ranger fan im not too optomistic.
was a big gomez fan, but we need a goal scorer and already have players that do gomez job. plus freeing $7+mil of cap space is good. suckks we lost sjostrom though, really good player. if any of you guys are flames fans (i dont think there are, remember quite a bit of hate for em here) you should be psyched you have him.
lose orr, gain brashear? geez i donno. brashear is pretty hated in ny, i definitely yelled at my tv for a few days after he knocked out betts and got that suspension

Pretty stoked that half of Team Canada's defence at the Olympics could well be from the Flames.

Ya Sjostroms a hell of a player the flames have really made a lot of smart moves this offseason, im impressed
ya but if Dion plays anything like he did last year he has no buisness being near the olympic team
-
its still a while away, but I always get really stoked really early, especially with the moves the Canucks have been making as of late
Ill put together another pool but the draft will be a different format, it was too much of a hassle to get everyone together at the same time with different time zones
Im sure we could get 6 or 7 dudes wanting to make a team, I know some posters didnt get a team in time last time so im starting it a little earlier
-
hey what the fuck? how has this thread been in the freezer for this long?
-
no ones ever down to talk about hockey, mosaic, you, jsoy, mooley, bombay are a few but the thread can never last too long, i think i have half of the replies in here lol
Colorado has been one hell of a surprise this season, and Kopitar too, I knew he was money but didn't thing he'd be leading the league, I could see him winning the scoring title with all the fucking injuries happening this year

I've been avoiding this thread since the Leaf's suck so fucking bad. Kessel had a nice goal last night though, skated right up the middle on his own and put it in. Feel bad for Phil, he's got no one to even set him up once in a while. And can they get rid of Jason Blake already? The guy is the biggest pylon on the team. Luke Schenn fucking sucks balls now too.

lol didnt know you were a toronto fan choad

it ain't easy

everyone tells me they are goign to be really godo in the next few years though haha

I couldn't be more stoked on the Caps. Finally a DC team doing something I am proud of.
yeah caps are killing it this year
-
everyone tells me they are goign to be really godo in the next few years though haha
yea, everyone says that every year
this year we were supposed to have a a formidable defense, and a tough fighting squad
instead our defense is shit except for Ian White and sometimes Kaberle, and they are all a bunch of pussies besides Colton Orr
-
I don't have cable and I've had zero time so I really haven't been following this year as much as I should. Trying to get as many Flames tickets as possible when I'm home for Christmas though, pretty stoked on how they've been doing, especially Bourque.
-

I couldnt see how, they don't have a first round pick for 2 years thanks to that horrible Kessel trade, and there prospects suck other than Kadri and a couple others
my caps look real good if we get a solid d man at the deadline the cup is ours

I love Bourque, he's up on my wall, I have a framed print of him. I gotta get to some more this year though, the only one I have been to was the preseason Isles game where Theo was the shootout hero, fuck that was amazing

you should be seeing the caps winning the east, theirs no chance this team doesn't make the playoffs

I could seriously see them making the cup finals if everything comes together and Varlyomov can hold down a few games, like it was said before they need another D to bolster their blue line, I want to see a Pens/Caps series again that would be sick
Hossa comes back to action in about a week, I really hope he kills it I have him in my pool, plus I just lost Gionta to a broken bone in his foot

that's the only game i've been to this year too, so fucking epic. goals, fights, phaneuf puts a dude on a stretcher, and a huge comeback for fleury. i was so bummed he didn't make the last cut
-
That was a great game, it's too bad he didn't make the cut but realistically he was just not up to the same level. But I still bought his book. Really I love going to any event where you can barge the nachos and pocket dogs. I was a little dissapointed that Tavares was not playing though. Won't get to see him play in person for another year or two now.

is that right? damn i haven't heard his name for a minute. im excited to see how well he meshes with the young fellas. think he'll take versteeg's spot next to toews and sharp?
im really stoked on how well the hawks have played around injuries and what not. kane has been pure fire even if he is a little girl. the smaller name guys are really putting on a show. joe quenville is killing it this year. it's that moustache i swear.
but HOW BOUT THE COYOTES?! what the fuck was gretzky doing wrong?

First things first, Gretz did absolutley nothing wrong other than quitting because he didn't get paid, and still there is nothing wrong with that(other than he's out something like $7 mill). He helped assemble this team of young talent with a mix of experienced veterans. He got fucked in that deal.

I have no doubt in my mind this was somewhat a ploy to get himself in the spotlight and yes, to possibly boost sales of his book. But come on, it's not like he went on the top of a building, dropped his pants and shit onto the street to get the publicity. He had to actually go to training camp, make the team and fight for a spot to play at the highest level of hockey known to man until the very end of pre-season. And for him to do all this just to sell a few more copies of his book, I think your selling the man short. I also believe he did it so they could retire his number in Calgary.
PS
Thanks, it does rule.

Your wrong Gretz was a horrible coach, being a great player doesn't make you a great coach also he didnt really assemble that team at all thats not his job and alot of those young players wernt even close to being ready for the NHL like Turris, Boedker, Mueller and he rushed them and fucked there development up. Gretz is sick but what coach deserves to make 7 mill most only make about 1 million

I'm so stoked that Lucic is back. Tonight's game was sick. Go Bruins.

i'm fucking pissed, the leafs have a hard enough time winning a game without the refs blowing countless calls over and over, ian white had such a good game and then gets called for a double minor high sticking penalty when it wasn't even his stick, and the canes score on the powerplay and tie it up.

woa, 13 years? is that serious? thats fucking ridiculous
-
So the leafs blew a 3-0 lead to carolina last night. Ended up as 5-4 then carolina scored in the last 2 seconds of the 3rd period. Then they demolished the shootout.
Leafs have hit rock bottom. last in the league. Things can only get batter at least! (maybe)

I never heard 5 years 25 million? that would be a good deal i've been hearing 5 years 30 million and how the fuck are they gonna loose Huet hes untradable, Niemi hasn't proved anything either

wow mtl manage to win against Washington

wow mtl manage to win against Washington
The Caps played there third goaltender and were playing with 4 d one being a rookie at the end of the game, caps also missing
Semin, Knuble and Morrisonn I was expecting a loss with all that gotta loose once in awhile I guess
Caps are gonna destroy the leafs tomorrow night
-
Yeah it kinda seemed like the caps gave that one away with a few of the choices they made as far as who was on the ice. Maybe they just wanted to warm ovechkin up and were prepared to take a loss. As previously stated, can't win em all.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's what I heard the announcers say. Also, I'm not familiar with the contracts at all so I don't know who's eligible for what. While I don't particularly like Huet, I don't wanna see a guy like Patrick Sharp get tossed but they need someone in net.

Sharps likely to stay it's more guys like Versteeg, Barker and Sopel they'll have to get rid of
-

I'd be really surprised if they got rid of Versteeg considering that he was nominated for the calder trophy last year and has been putting up good numbers this year. Barker just signed a 3 year 3 million contract (or something like that) so I don't think he'll go either. At least I hope not. I wouldn't cry if Sopel went but if they're hurting for cap space that bad they should just dump Campbell. He's a great player but 7 million a year is a big chunk of change. I think it might be a bit over 7 actually.

I heard that too, on the hot stove, Burke is after draft picks, knowing that the Leafs will probably finish last or close to it, hes saying to teams i'll take your high priced guys but I want a draft pick along with it.
Chicago is pretty fucked, yea they have some amazing talent, but they have no money to keep it locked down, watch for some fucking BEAST offer sheets being signed in the offseason, which is why they had to sign Barker and Versteeg after arbitration this year, canucks would have signed barker to an expensive offer sheet had they not signed him when they did

I dont understand how torontos going to take on expensive contracts when they dont have much cap space, I dont understand aquiring defense (sopel) they need offense. I'm fine with offer sheets as long as theres none against Backstrom, Semin and fleishmann
-
The caps need to lock up Semin and Backstrom, the 2 of them with Ovechkin, fucking sick
Its not that the leafs need defense but Burke sees the weakness that Chicago has and is trying to exploit it by getting draft picks and taking the expensive contracts, how he will do it I dont know but if anyone can its Burke, he's the shadiest gm in the league

Sopes....he was a whipping boy here in Vancouver...the only person I ever knew that liked him was Dan 'Alien' Nelson because they looked the same....why would TO get him...Burkes just like that....why is Brad May in the league still? I still pray that Bertuzzi goes there...just to make that team shittier.....The irony is the only good guy they have is Kaberle who they tried and tried to get rid of....
I know it's easy to say now that the team is playing well and he hasn't played but getting hossa was dumb....what did the sign him for, 12 years? Then you want to lock up all your young players? They don't need him. Pittsburgh didn't....think what would have happened if they signed him.....
Just got back from the Chicago/Vancouver game...they played an excellent road game....

well to be fair Sopel's played alot better this year, getting Hossa was actually very smart he's a great player signed for only 5.2 million a year considering edmonton was offering him 9 million a year ago. Chicago can still keep most of there youth anyways loosing Versteeg and Barker is not that bad considering you should get good prospects and picks to replace them eventually

Yea that was a good one, before Cherepanov died I was hoping the rangers would have an all russian line of cherapanov-anisimov-grachev would have been so good to watch
Kotaliks gotta use that good shot better

fuck yeah, del zotto's already a maniac. i love all those junior guys, del zotto, tavares and evander kane. i can't remember if any of the other guys are playing pro yet but i was watching the OHL play against the russian selects last night and some of those boys are un-fucking-real. every player skated as hard and as they could, nazem kadri absolutely manhandled some poor russian on a break out and beat the goalie one handed. apparently the leafs left him in london so that he could "dominate".
any of you watch the world juniors? best hockey of the year hands down.
-
Bruins should pretty easily bring their winning streak up to four straight tomorrow against the wild, then Friday against the Devils should be a really good game. Things are going to start going really good for the B's now that both Savard and Lucic are back. Hopefully Rask is in goal tomorrow and Thomas on Friday.

stoked for this year, Hodgson will be captain, kadri will kill it, and itll be a chance to see all the upcoming canadians likely to play next year
Tyler Meyers will probably be nominated for the Calder, the dude might not even be 19 and he plays over 20 minutes a game for the sabres

So many good rookies in the league this year tavares, jvr, myers, del zotto and varlamov could all win the calder

Yeah...I saw Myers kill it last year against the Giants in the WHL..I live just up the street and try to go a bunch of games a year....the best taunt was 'FREAK!'...the kid is huge....don't think he's cut from the same cloth as Pronger or Chara but he's smoother than both of them...he can really skate and he's clearly adjusting quicker than both of them.

As it stands now the defense of Chicago is allowing the least amount of shots per game, and Huet is Top 5 in GAA(More of a teamish stat) and he's been Top 5 in GAA over the last 4 seasons IIRC.
We don't need Huet to phenomenal. We need him to not fuck up, and give up those weird game changing goals like that goal he gave up in Dallas.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii-08G6C6wI
He's been damn good of late though. Niemi stole a game and shutout the Nucks. As long as the defense can keep up, whatevr problem in net we have shouldn't be an issue

Would you start louie? I don't think I would....I'd give it to Brodeur....I know he didn't play too well in last years playoffs but...it's pretty hard not to start that guy....
I'm excited for the olympics for sure but I think it's a crap shoot...everyone is going to have a good team and you blow one game...that's pretty much it....it's not hockey that I'm really used to....I'd swear I'd trade a gold for the canucks to get to the quarter finals.
Went to the San Jose game tonite....and had a really good sundae....

I'd start Brodeur if I was Canada.
Every time I watch Luongo, he looks inconsistent. I might just be catching dude at bad times or something.

he hasnt been lights out this year, it would be amazing to have him start, home crowd, everyone going nuts, but I have nothing against Brodeur starting and if he plays how he has for the majority of his career I'll welcome it

I utterly hate seeing the penguins win and I can't stand seeing Crosby's face anymore but god damn, gettin a hat trick on free hat day made for one hell of a highlight.
didn't get to see it, was listening in the car but that game sounded like a shit show. going to the game tonight at the garden actually, hopefully we can redeem ourselves.
also psyched for olympic hockey. definitely plan on being in bars watching most of the games
-
balls. i give up. hah so frustrating. but, thats what you get when you like the rangers. i also sat behind two pens fans and two douchebags wearing devils jerseys. never in my life have i seen two people go out of their way to route against a rival team. tickets at the garden arent cheap either
-
Hawks v. Blue Jackets tonight. Conflict of interest. I really like some of the players on clb but I'm certainly not backing them tonight. They just won their first game coming off of a 5-game loss streak and the hawks just lost two in a row so I'm sure this game will be worth the watch.

God damn, I'm officially switching over to being on Crosby's dick. He's gonna be killing it for a long time and there's just no way to be happy if you want him to lose. 8 points in his last TWO games. WTF.
That's pretty cool that those people had the option to do that. Strange thing do to but just the fact that they could is impressive. Just how close are the other arenas to the Garden anyway?
-
I guess my friend lined up some New Year's Eve tickets for the Flames v. Oilers game, so stoked. We got the shitty nosebleed seats so for once I'm going to get to sit in the rowdiest part of the Saddledome, looking forward to the beak-fest.

yea as much as i was heckling the devil fans it gotta say i have to give them props on some level. pittsburgh is a good 6 hour drive from nyc and the prudential center where the devils play is right over the river, a short train ride away. but still, going into another teams stadium wearing a rivals jersey when the team isnt even playing, youre gonna get heckled hah. especially when your last name is "dickman" and its on the back of your jersey. still questioning myself but i got some little kids to start a "dickman sucks" chant with us. not sure how stoked their parents were
mooley that sounds so fun. should be a good time for sure

Fuck, that's so rad. Hopefully Grapes was right in saying that we're on the map for another franchise. If the piece-of-ass bombers can sell out 20 some thousand seats I just don't see how there wouldn't be enough support for an nhl team. It's just not fair.

8 points, the 5 point game Valiquetee was in net and played awful the other can mostly be blamed on the rangers rookie defense and all around bad play

Outdoor ice is probably 3 days away from completion here. Winter finally arrived. Ready to lace em up boys?

sickk, havent played pond hockey in like 3 years or so. and before that the last time i played was when i was a freshman in high school. definitely looking to play a game or two with my pops and family and stuff
by the way, i won the stanley cup in nhl 96 the other night. came back from 3 games to 1 to beat the chicago blackhawks. won in OT in game 6 to force a game 7. won game 7 one to nothing. it was a battle of epic proportions.

Shit, I feel kinda bad bumping this thread since there's only like 3 of us posting in here but I don't know where else to put this.
Around christmas, I found out that my dad's cousin is the vp of hockey operations (#2 to Mike Gillis) for the canucks so for my birthday in january, he's puttin me on for the hawks game on the 23rd. I think a couple buddies and I are getting some kinda tour of GM place then box seats for the game. Not to mention a few days in Vancouver to (hopefully) skate outside.
Hey frisco, watch for the vintage blackhawks sweater. I'll be waving.
-
take me to the game
its funny a few days ago i was walking my dog, and mike gillis is getting out of his car, turns out he lives 5 houses down from me it was the weirdest thing, i introduced myself shook his hand and wanted to talk for a while but he was looking flustered, sweaty and tired like he does in every interview
hes taking us in the right direction though, couldnt be more happy with the sedin signing, now we need to lock up kesler long term and say goodbye to demitras contract
-
WJHC cup tonight
USA vs Canada its gonna be epic
-
I was not nearly drunk enough at all to handle the fucking World Juniors game tonight. Christ, what a shitty performance that was. Three fucking break-in goals from the faceoff circle, way to blow it Canadian goaltending, brutal.
-
both side goaltending was shit
-
Damn the Caps have been having a rough couple games, but they finally pulled through tonight....
No teams gonna go 82-0 a 3 game loosing streak aint bad, even Pittsburgh had a 4 or 5 game loosing streak before tonight
I didnt mind the loosing streak we had a rookie third goalie in, a westcoast swing which was hell and we traded our captain
plus no one could put the puck in the net other than ovie, backs or green

went to the rangers vs bruins game monday night. great game. we blew the lead in the third but won with about a minute or so left. there were a few really great goals too. erik christensen scored a sick one handed goal and higgins finally came through in the clutch and got the game winner.
getting really psyched for olympic hockey. trying to find a good bar to watch most of em at. russian and canadian teams look ridiculous
-
Was at the Leafs game last night, they beat the panthers which I didn't think was going to happen after McCabe (who was booed every time he touched the puck) scored 2 goals in the first 10 minutes. Leafs are so bad though, fuck. As much as I want to big up Kessle he hasn't done shit for like 5 games now, and I made a point of watching him last night, even though he's got no one to play with he's still playing pretty terrible.
They put the Junior game on the big screen after the Leafs game, stoked to see Canada come back again in the third. Kudos to the U.S. team though, and when it's 4 on 4 it's anyone's game.
-
I went to the Canucks game last night, felt good after we lost to the US. Too bad the leafs never landed the twins. Henrik Sedin's leading the points race? Hell has frozen over.......
-
Fuck that would have been amazing. The leafs need a superstar, there's no one on the team that stands out except maybe Ian White.

my friends and i were jamming last night we decided to go to the pub for a pint after and i walked in and shit was so quiet and my friend was like "its fucking quiet in here" and i was like "what the fuck is going on..." then i looked at the TV saw canada was losing 5-3 with 4 minutes to go or some shit and i explained to my friend. we laughed. i couldnt give 2 shits about hockey. dudes who play hockey are fucking tools 99% of the time.

I'd say more like 70-80%. Hockey is fun as shit. I don't play in a leauge or anything because I suck, but pond hockey with friends and beers is awesome. Your not a true canadian until you've done this at least once.

99% of guys who take their hockey career seriously are tools. espeically since only like 1% of them make it to jr. A even. but then all those dudes who play in OHL can be the biggest fucking assholes. there is a website called "OHL tough guys"

oh, yea that's pretty much a given. I don't even know anyone that plays junior, but I remember the douche jocks in high school that took it seriously, but that's the same for any sport pretty much.

"Hey anDEEE! it's Tony from woodbridge, Burke needs to trade everyone who sucks for really good players, and fire the coach"
It's pretty crazy how much of the NHL is made up of players from Ontario alone though, hockey here is the equivalent to the NFL in the states.

Everyone knows everything, yet no one knows anything?

What a brutal loss by the Canadian, the bright spot was seeing how NHL ready Eberle is, anytime the guy has the puck he looks so calm with it, another was seeing how fucking money Jordan Schroeder is, Canucks first round draft, hes small, but is quick, has unbelievable hockey sense and good vision, I hope he can crack the roster in 2 years or so
the emotional swings were just too great, those kids have to be so sick, to come back with 3 minutes to lose in OT on a short side shot, brutal
I am so stoked Ovechkin has the C

Dont get your hopes up about Schroeder it might take a long time for him to crack a roster his hockey sence aint close to unbelievable either
Eberle is national hero fuck he's sick

Last night the Washington Capitals farm team that John Carlson(scored game winner for US juniors) plays for played here and the poor kid got boo'd worse than Komisarek gets it when Toronto visits Montreal. On the other hand it must be pretty cool for 8000 people to know who you are.
-
Really good game tonight, and a couple really nice shootout goals to boot. Starting to get really excited about the playoffs.
Definitely got a good laugh out of all of Iginla and Phaneuf's constant beaking too.
-
I gotta say I hate Phaneuf more than any player in the league, more than dominic moore, more than Ott, hes such a piece of shit, hes just pissed because he didnt make Team Canada so hes always looking to start shit with our players, bah whatever
regardless it was a really good game, calgary was all over the sedins the only goal they could score was on the rush, which was one of the best of the year from them, some of the officiating was a little shady, especially on the hit from behind on glass
rypien and prust had some great scraps, two of the best middle weights in the league

is that the referee thing? i missed the original beef so i'm pretty clued out on the subject but i did see one of the "interference" calls made in a replay and it was a pretty brutal call. the ref was obviously looking for burrows to do ANYTHING he could call him on. feel free to share the full story.
are there any detroit fans here? the matinee game on sunday when they hosted the hawks was probably the best game i've watched since the play offs. slight bias i suppose but it was a fucking gong show to say the least. overtime had me screaming at my tv.

I was wearing a chicago sweater walking through downtown. my self esteem was bruised to say the least. the hawks didn't play terribly, I thought it would've been a close game if they didn't score three goals in fuckin 8 seconds.

i was gonna come and shit talk your dumb swedes and silly italian goalies but after getting a tour of their (fucking incredibly luxurious) locker room and watching them hose my boys in person they've kinda grown on me. i still hate the sedins though even though they kill it. they're all gonna be fucked on this road trip though if they finish near .500 i'll be blown away. although i haven't had a look at who they're playing...

I didn't check it either, it's actually not that bad. The first bit the toughest team we play is ottawa, then the break....the second part will be tougher though, but the travel isn't too bad...better than usual actually....I'm guessing Louie doesn't get alot of work during the olympics so it'll be a good thing. I think the Canucks downfall will be their defence...can't stay healthy and...not that good.

i'm betting kovalchuk doesn't get moved....no one wants to give up a first rounder(s)...any team that has the cap space to sign him next year won't be making the playoffs....and then they can just sign in on the free agency market...
I'm with you though about souray or vishnosky...someone could use those guys on the power play....
Turco out of Dallas? I doubt it, but it might go down in the next year or so....
As long as the hockey thread doesn't get longer than the ass thread i'm fine....

But yea, the leafs seriously need to get rid of a large amount of pylons.
The only dudes who even deserve to stay are Hagman and Ian White. Kessle can stay too, although he hasn't done fuck all lately either, but you know he can score if he's got backup.

There really is 16 pages of hockey talk on a skate forum.
oh hi there sunshine
http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/story/2010/01/25/sp-hockey-cormier.html?ref=rss
So Cormier's done for the season. Should and will haunt him for the rest of his career.
fucking guy had the audacity to say his punishment is an over-reaction by the league. If he did the same thing to someone off the ice he would be in jail for a long time. Fucking idiot.

nah fuck that. if that kid would've gotten back up it would've been a 2 minute penalty. cormier will fit right in in jersey if he makes it that far. i'd be stoked to see him wearin a devils jersey. however, i'm not surprised or upset that they ended his season. seemed like the proper punishment. it was stupid for him to bring his elbow up so casually, i dont understand how he thought that'd be a good idea.
i'm betting kovalchuk doesn't get moved....no one wants to give up a first rounder(s)...any team that has the cap space to sign him next year won't be making the playoffs....and then they can just sign in on the free agency market...
I'm with you though about souray or vishnosky...someone could use those guys on the power play....
they were talking about a kovalchuk trade on one of those hockey shows the other day, said he was worth AT LEAST 4 "assets" probably more like 5. prospects, draft picks, current players. is there any team that could foot that bill? not to mention he'll be lookin for at least 9 mill per year on his next contract.
i'm really curious to see what the oilers have up their sleeves. they have some serious power moves to make. any one know how much longer eberle is stayin in the joonyas?
-
if they have brains it'll just be unloading guys.....but you can count on any canadian team to do something dumb.....
-
mosaic ye of little faith, if we finish over .500 on our road trip i'll be psyched, 14 games is fucking ridiculous though, colorado will be the team to come back to earth, and watch all their rookies crumble come crunch time, the way we're rolling our lines right now getting solid scoring from our top 2 I can see us taking the division, Mitchell and Salo should be back fairly soon too
I'm not saying they wont win their division they will nucks division sucks though, I'm just saying I don't think their an elite team in the west
ray whitney goes, maybe to Pittsburgh, kovalchuk most likely traded too
sourays gone, same with vishnovsky
stajan and poni probably go
lots of maybes and probablys in my predictions, not really sure
I think Whitney goes somewhere to Vancouver or Calgary, Poni going to the Pens I bet I heard they were scouting the leafs for the past monthExpand Quote

Turco out of Dallas? I doubt it, but it might go down in the next year or so....
As long as the hockey thread doesn't get longer than the ass thread i'm fine....
[/quote]
Kovalchuk will get moved Atlanta would rather get some assets back then let him walk for free in the summer, Turcos not gonna be back in Dallas and I doubt he will be traded he has no value he's being outplayed by Alex Auld
-
Its been confirmed that pahnuef has been traded to the leafs
-
With Sjostrom for Hagman, White, and Stajan.
Yikes.
-
burke's cleanin house again. jiggy for toskala too. he also got sjostrom and keith aulie with phaneuf. power moves.
edit: jason blake sent to anaheim as part of the toskala trade as well.
-
This trade is quite the deal. I think it will be good for Calgary and TO, Calgary for this year and TO to build upon. Still I'm wowed, looks like I need to get a different jersey.
-
if they have brains it'll just be unloading guys.....but you can count on any canadian team to do something dumb.....
Why would the leafs even think of getting phaneuf? Are they in cahoots with the newspapers or something? The gigeure one isn't bad though... not sure if it'll make that much of a difference though....
Bums me out that the flames got rid of someone I hate....
-
Ian White is so underrated, with Stajan and Hagman who was killing it last year and with decent forwards around them both forwards can be solid second or third line players
I am baffled by this deal, but getting rid of Toskala and Blake and Mayers in one day is pretty sick, leafs fans are probably stoked
No one on the leafs can score now, just leave it all up to Kessel
-
I don't like seeing Ian White go, he's been the best leaf. This trade is pretty crazed.
I am happy seeing Blake and Mayers gone thou. Blake sucks so hard.
I'm gonna be at the game against Jersey on Tuesday, should be interesting.
-
Seems like a deal to swap Jokinen and Prust for Kotalik and Higgins is about to be completed. Things are getting pretty interesting pretty quickly.
-
it bums me out when the flames are improving....
-
it bums me out when the flames are improving....
i know what you mean. i was content hating jokenin in calgary, now i have to watch till i hate higgins and kotalik too?
i'm curious how phaneuf is gonna fit with the rest of the leafs though.

I worked a sports dinner tonight, where Theo Fleury talked about molestation, and being in Santa Fe with a loaded pistol in his mouth. Heavy shit. Other guests included Paul Henderson, Smokin Joe Frazier, and Jim Abbott.
-
Otis you should check out theos book great read
Ovechkin takes over league lead in goals and points suck it sedin, 9 less games played than everyone else and still leading fucking amazing
Thrashers did well in the return for Kovie Bergfors is sick
Caps 12 wins in a row now holy shit
-
^ hell yeah ovie. hands down the most entertaining hockey player in the nhl.
on another note, where the FUCK did the sens come from? whats goin on here? anaheim too.
how choked are crosby and the boys? they're within 1 point of the top spot in the atlantic and now they gotta deal with the likes of kovalchuk who i imagine will really start collecting the points now that he's got a better team backin him.
-
I don`t really see the sens being for real though every team plays good once in awhile
hell the islanders won 9 out of 11 earlier in the year
-
Pretty sure Kovie will be a pure rental player....Lamirello is too smart and cheap....Kovie and Lamaire will be hopefully a better version of Gaborik and Lamaire...they have to fill that new arena and hopefully this will help them.
That Theo Fleury shit is gnarly but he's not even close to being humble....he was saying recently how shitty the NHL is because he almost made the Flames...like how can a guy his age can come that close still? It's cause they pity you dude....
-
ovechkin is a maniac
-
what a terrible way to end a win streak. talk about a cheap win. there was several reeeaaaally bad calls made.
-
dont post too much these days because i dont have an office job anymore, but, olympics. what do you guys think? czech vs. slovakia was a pretty good game and everyone else has been looking pretty good. should be an exciting few weeks
as far as the women go, i seem to be attracted to the swiss goaltender and almost every girl on the canadian team
-
Only managed to catch most of the end of Canada-Norway. That like 4 way passing play that Iginla finished off was insane, hyped on the dude's hat trick.

un-fucking-believable.

I feel bad but not terrible....this is just a different sort of championship than a stanley cup. Most of the players don't regularly play with each other, or coached by the coach, so it's really a crap shoot. It's common too for goalies to steal games in these types of championships...

Miller won that game. And marty didn't play very well.
I wonder if they'll start Luongo against germany

Marty just got knocked down a notch in my book if this is true.
Mike Emerick noted that Marty Brodeur marks the knob of his goalie stick with the name of the opposing team he plays against for each big win he has. Last night, he had USA already marked on the knob of his stick. Do you think it might be a good idea that he should wait until after the game is over before he marks his stick next time?

I am so pessimistic about tonight, cant even get my hopes up, I can only pray for Luongo to come up big, I do feel a lot safer with him starting
we need Richards to check Ovechkin all night and give him zero space, spear him, trip him, anything short of killing him
then with Ovechkin neutralized theres only Kovalchuk Semin Datsyuk Radulov Afinogenov Malki.....fuck
-
I'm staying Optimistic.
The Stall, Crosby, Iginla line looked really good last night. I feel better now that Luongo is in net. Marty's already won everything, so I'd like to think Luongo want's it more.
As long as they can shut down Ovi, play really physical, take a shit ton of shots and work on their weak defense, Canada's got this.

checking lines in full effect. i'm so stoked on the richard toews nash line. i knew richards would have no problem doing that job but i had doubts about toews. whatever babcock told the boys before today's game was exactly what they needed to hear.

Too bad the swiss still didn't learn how to put the puck into the net! And I am surprised how the canadiens run over the russian team!

you better hope he holds up. the 'mericans haven't had much of a push back against them yet. got off easy against the canadians with some funky goal tending, barely beat the swiss twice and who else? latvia? pffffffffff. i haven't watched the fins play so i dont know how they're doing. canada got their wake up call, burke/wilsons will come soon.
i still can't believe steve yzerman and mike babcock lost to the burke/wilson combo. what was that, their 8th win since september? jeeeeeezuuuuuuuus. i don't feel like the american team is all that good or well put together.
-
we are definitley going to be slovakia tomorrow but fuck it would really be somethign to beat USA the 2nd time around... would make for a more epic win.

usa's got some grit, but seeing Canada stone cold stunner the russians was pretty fucking wild.

What do you mean "barely" beat the Swiss? Canada needed a Shootout to beat Switzerland. We beat them in regulation both times.
A lil Pot meet kettle... eh?
You got your swag back against Germany who was dumb enough to actually try to keep up with Canada, and Russia who can't play defense. I'm impressed :o
-
I really thought Russia's team would have put up a better fight. Having said that, I'm happy Canada choke-slammed those commies.
-
it was hilarious to watch every teacher at work totally psyched on the fact that the swedes lost. everyone seemed more psyched on that than on the fact that we (finland) made it to the semis.

every game the canadians play is a gold medal game for the opposition. team burke has been on cruise control this whole time. i didn't watch the entire game yesterday but of what i saw, if the swiss hadn't pulled hiller at such an inappropriate time, it could've gone either way. i'm just not feelin the chemistry of the team. i don't see the fins beating them though.
and if you'd watched either of those team canada games, you surely would've been impressed by how well the team is meshing together.
-
If we can pass half as well as we did against Russia in latter stages it's going to be a tough task to step to us. The Russia game was some of the best hockey I've seen in years.

I've watched every Team Canada game. They've looked impressive, especially in the last 2 games. Not gonna lie.
Opponents should definitely take Canada seriously every game. Y'all invented the game after all.
If Spain believed in the US machine of basketball they wouldn't have won gold at the Olympics(I'm talking about the talent of USA Basketball. I'm aware that Americans didn't invent that game).

Nash's goal really set me off, to put us up 3-0 only 10 minutes in, everyone in the bar lost it, it was the best start we could have possibly had, that goal though summed up the whole game, richards checking malkin, toewes to nash on the fast break to a helpless Nabokov, I think Ovechkin touched the puck maybe 6 times we were all over him
We absolutely smoked them, the only thing im a little nervous about is Halak coming up with a huge game, but after Chara their D isnt good at all
I hope the Fins give everything they have against the fucking 'muricans, they didnt look as solid as some of you guys are describing, mind you before the tournament even began I called them to make the Gold Medal final, they were my dark horses from the beginning they have a solid fast young team with one of the best NHL goaltenders, regardless the Canadians will win when we face them again

The Olympics have been interesting but I just want it to be done so the NHL can start up again.

Looking forward to the semi finals today. The canadiens should easily advance to the final. Finland vs. USA is going to be a though one!
I am not shure what is going to happen if Canada plays the US guys in the finals again. Canada played good against the russians. But let's face it, the russians didn't have their best game and they don't have or never had a goal keeper as good as other nations have. Still they managed to make 3 goals in the first 2 periods and normaly this means your team is leading.
Whatever! Every team still has the chance to win this tournament!

BELIEVE

not lookin good for the fins. very jumpy and making terrible decisions. 'muricans are lookin scary right now. kipper and his d need to get their heads on straight or this is done quick.
oops, spoke too soon. 3 - nothin.

Six goals on eleven shots...two goals in fifteen seconds. Wow!
Expect to see Canada send the same message.

yeah, i'm curious if slovakia is going to nut up or if canada's just continue to buttfuck all of europe on the ice

No....Canada doesn't dominate hockey....out of the top 10 point getters right now it's 50/50....Canadians make up the majority but I wouldn't say it's dominance....9-1 in the gold medal game is dominance....
The US is producing way more players than it ever has.....don't think they'll ever make up the majority of NHLer's but I think they can ice a good team capable of beating the Canadians.....if you think otherwise...you don't know hockey....we got it this time though....

Sid the Kid coming though with that goal. It was actually awesome because my friend was talking shit on Crosby saying he hasn't done shit in this tourney right when he popped in that Goal in OT and everyones instanly like OHHHHHHH SID THE KID, IN YOUR FACE
Edit: and I'll also add, U.S.A was the better team in the tourney, Canada was actually pretty lucky to win that game and they almost fucked it up.
-
i'm from pittsburgh, so i got love for the cros, but god damn it does the media need to hop off his sack. seriously every shot between plays is fixated on him and when canada won the game one of the announcers said "sydney crosby's team." he wasn't even an alternate captain. i know the NHL is trying to highlight their "superstars"to try to get non-hockey people to give a shit, but god damn it. give someone else some airtime.
that was a hell of a game. Ryan Miller is a G

^ man, you should see what its like up here. his face is fucking EVERYWHERE. although now that i think about it, it must be just as bad in pittsburgh.
Edit: and I'll also add, U.S.A was the better team in the tourney, Canada was actually pretty lucky to win that game and they almost fucked it up.
how the fuck do you figure that? i might be over looking the american team but i think a lot of people are under appreciating how well put together team canada was. the only thing lucky about that win was that miller went for a poke check and crosby saw it coming. they earned that win. you wanna talk about lucky? how about that pinball off 3 skates landing on parise's tape. you and ron wilson are trippin if you seriously think that the americans were a better team.
-
They were the better team in the tourney, the only team that didn't loose once. Yes because of Miller, and yea Canada had more talent, but I think Canada was also lucky to win that game after giving up that very later goal in the third after the U.S. team being all over them almost the entire third period.

SHUT THE FUCK UP CANADA FUCKING WON IN YOUR FUCKING FACE FUCKER
EVEN AFTER THE INITIAL DEFEAT THEY PULLED IT TOGETHER

They were the better team in the tourney, the only team that didn't loose once. Yes because of Miller, and yea Canada had more talent, but I think Canada was also lucky to win that game after giving up that very later goal in the third after the U.S. team being all over them almost the entire third period.
the only serious pressure they had in the third was when they had the 4th forward on the ice.
What I meant was, Team U.S.A. made it to the finals without a Hiccup. They didn't loose once on the way (ie. unlike Canada who lost to the states in the round robin) and they didn't have trouble with any other team on the way (unlike Canada who almost lost to Slovakia after having a 3-0 lead).
So they technically were the stronger team throughout the tourney, but Canada took down the final game so thats that, but it was way too close going to OT like that.
-
Yep, Canada won and had a very good team. But give respect where its due and dont be arrogant. They didnt dominate shit. USA deserved to be in that gold medal game every bit as much as Canada if not more, and they came very close to prying the gold from their clammy, poutine eating fingers.
-
Canada won, and I am stoked. The USA hockey program is no joke, Miller is the best goalie goin, and the entire tournement was awsome.

wow the Canucks are killing it, 10 third period combacks this season, the one tonight was insane
-
Playoff Time!!!The first round is always the most exciting and entertaining round and this year there looks like there is some good matchups. Vancouver-LA, Detroit-Phoenix, Ottawa-Pittsburgh should all be close. What are your first round picks. I'm thinking:
West
San Jose over Colorado 4-1
Chicago over Nashville 4-2
LA over Canucks 4-3
Detroit over Pheonix 4-2
East
Capitals over Montreal 4-0
NJ over Philly 4-1
Buffalo over Boston 4-2
Pitsburgh over Ottawa 4-3
-
I think your overestimating Ottawa and underestimating Philly, granted both had big swings with win and losing streaks but I think the Philly series will be much closer and I think the Pens are going to destroy Ottawa, your other picks are solid, but I think Vancouvers gonna take it in 6
I was in two playoff pools this year, I won 200$ last year when I won but this year Im not liking my chances, the good thing about being in two pools was I picked players from opposite teams for both my teams so no matter who wins I will always have player moving on, makes it really fun to watch

Green
Brodeur
Zajac
Erhoff
Vanek

I like Jersey too but I liked them last year and they sucked....they can score this year though and have a new coach....Philly's a bit of a wild card though...I don't think they can go deep but could they upset? I think the Nashville/Chicago might be a close one....
Henrik wins the scoring title? Over Ovie and Sid...even in Vancouver people are still...kinda shrugging their shoulders....pretty good hockey weekend though....Sid beats Ovie...and Cooke gets knocked the fuck out...I'm guessing though Kane was probably a Cooke fan growing up in Vancouver....

Boston can't score, and as much as I'd like them to advance so I have a winning goalie, with Vanek Connelly and Roy on Buffalo, as well as the Calder Tyler Meyers and Ryan Miller, don't know how you can deny Boston will lose unless your a Boston fan with a bias
-
your absolutely right about the scoring, The last few games of the regular season though they've played with such desperation and everyone did exactly what their job is to do and it worked great. I have a feeling they're going to do great in the playoffs...then again I truly am a biased Bruins fan hah, we'll see.

GODDAMN IT! Are you fucking kidding me?! OT?
yea I watched that game last night, ovi was not himself
The SABRES are the dirtiest, grimiest team going, and they are gonna take the east.
Sabres are good, I'm still rooting for the penguins but sabres are my second choice. Is that un-canadian of me, not rooting for Canucks, Sens or Habs? I fucking hate the sens, don't want to see the habs do well and same goes with Vancouver.
-
Somthing has been wrong with ovi since the olympics, he's hurt and hiding it.
-
I dunno what it is, but he hasn't been the same since feb, whens the last time he had one of thoes etypical dominating games?
-
I heard hes playing with a bruised vagina.
-
oh god. its finally here. i've been so giddy all week.
jeeeez relax, its game one of round one. ovechkin's fine, nothings changed. he doesn't have to carry the team anymore with the likes of backstrom, semin, fleishmann, laich, green etc.
ron mclean said it best: it ain't ovie till it's ovie ;)
although, i feel like the habs are a stronger play off team with better discipline, more experience and stronger defense. 7 game series without a doubt.
chicago opens their series tonight and i'm expecting a good watch. thinking about how far we got last year and then considering a year's growth and the serious upgrades (hossa>havlat, madden>pahlsson) we've made is a VERY comforting thought. i'm confident in niemi but much more confident in the solid defense we've got going. i'd be a lot happier with campbell back for opening night but apparently he's making good progress and already skating with the boys so i'm sure he'll be back by round 2. until then the powerplay might suffer a little bit but i'm not worried. big byfug bagwell has been holdin it down pretty well in his absence.
p.s. marty doesn't have it in him. philly in 7, maybe 6. miller either. boston in 7.

i left the bar after the second period of the hawks/predators and the blackhawks seemed in another league. they were getting outshot 2-1, out hit, out skated.
glad the pens sealed that one. fuck andy sutton

If the hawks win then the leafs will become the team on the longest cupless drought.
Also, not stoked this shoot-out bullshit found it's way into playoff games. When it was first introduced it was only supposed to be for regular season games but last week I heard on of the flyers/hawks games was decided in a shoot-out. Lame. Important games should not be decided by such nonsense.

Sorry, I didn't see the first game but I remember hearing them say it was 6 to 5 and hearing the word shoot-out a lot. I just looked at some highlights after I saw your post, and I guess it didn't go to shoot-out thankfully. If that ever gets introducef to the playoffs though the NHL will have blown it.

sounds like theyre going to change the format for the regular season, either making it longer, stretching it to even 10 minutes, might even try a 3v3 for the last bit of it, all ideas that'll go on at the GM meetings
in other news

If the hawks win then the leafs will become the team on the longest cupless drought.
Also, not stoked this shoot-out bullshit found it's way into playoff games. When it was first introduced it was only supposed to be for regular season games but last week I heard on of the flyers/hawks games was decided in a shoot-out. Lame. Important games should not be decided by such nonsense.
There are no shoot outs in the playoffs. Only full 20 minute sudden death overtime periods until someone scores.

This is the way it always was and should remain. I had just mis-heard something last week on the news and thought that they introduced that trash in to the playoffs.

what can you do, the US would rather broadcast The Biggest Loser or The Amazing Race or some other fucking reality tv show
Canada treats every hockey event like its a national holiday, seriously we have a 3 hour television event JUST for the all star "draft", gets to be a bit embarrassing

I wouldn't even worry about it the all-star games are pretty much a joke, the winter classic has basically taken over the all star game in ratings and popularity too.
But that is fucked that they aren't broadcasting on public tv in the states, I'm not that surprised though, I always assumed most of the U.S. couldn't give a fuck less about the NHL.

yea vancouver is on fire this year.....another Canadian team doing well that's not the leafs.....sigh

I'm not trying to be a prick, but dont the Canucks always kill it in the regular season and shit the bed in the playoffs? They are certainly playing good hockey right now. I dont think they've lost a game in regulation in over a month.
But everyone already knows that the Wings will be heathly for the playoffs and nobody really stands a chance after that.

yeah agreed about the winter classic. its probably one of the best things the nhl has come up with over the past few years. with the structure of this all star game it had the potential to be big as well, a lot of my friends were talking about it and they dont like hockey nearly as much as i do. i feel like writing good ol gary bettman a letter
-
Yea the structure to this all-star game is different right ? Like they are gonna have the captains pick or something? That would be kinda fucked if players on the same team end up going up against eachother.

Usually we dominate our division, but thats because there are no good teams in it except for Colorado, although Minnesota is doing well his year
Last year we lost to the Stanley Cup champions, who were just a better team. This year I have no doubt were better than the Hawks, but its playoffs that scare the shit out of me, Canucks haven't made it to the Conference final since 1994
The game against detroit on Saturday Canucks should have won if it weren't for Howard
-
glad this is back...i can quit posting in the snowboard thread....
it's true dude...the jury is out on the canucks in the playoffs but yeah, i'll take it, it's great to have a competitive team. It's not easy to do in Canada...we care too much...it's hard to build a good team. If we're healthy...we should go deep...
I think they should make the all star game even lamer....make it for kids, that's pretty much who it's for anyhow...i think they're going in the right direction of 'uh..let's just make it a good t.v. show..' but yeah 3 hrs. is excessive. LIke the winter classic show was better than the winter classic....

Went to the Leafs game on the 20th vs the Ducks. Bought a Grabovski jersey, and got some good seats. Grabovski and Giguere were solid, as was the defense, and they won 5-2.

grabovski is my favorite leaf this year by far. glad they got rid of beauchemin, hopefully lupul pulls his weight and doesn't fizzle out like every other player who's been traded to the leafs in the past 5+ years. i live on the west coast so its sometimes hard to catch the games, but i found a good streaming site so i've been watching a lot more lately. hopefully they can keep winning games and MAYBE be a playoff contender, but that's a long shot.

Agreed. Lupul's playing with Bozak and MacArthur tonight, and I can't wait to see him play. Ducks fans are pissed that we got got Jake Gardiner, as he was second on their depth chart right behind Cam Fowler. And John Mitchell's gone too, which is great as he was complete shit.
-
So it looks like the Bruins really like to fight.
-
Haven't been watching hockey at all the last few months, should probably get back in the swing of it now that the Flames are picking things up.
Had a look today too and saw that no seats are available for the Heritage Classic for less than $175 too, which is sort of shitty. I was entertaining the idea of freezing my ass off for a game.

Anyone see the Chara hit on Pacioretty, and all the uproar and outrage because Pacioretty plays for Montreal? Comical.
And Leafs versus Hurricanes tonight. Toronto's in a three way tie with Atlanta and New Jersey with 70 points, and they're six points out, and Leafs could be tied with Carolina with a win tonight.
And I got Capitals vs Leafs tickets for April 5th.

Eww Leafs tickets. People should stop supporting that team until they can actually put together a team that will make the playoffs. And I'm not talking about barely getting in by 1 point. Toronto is THE hockey market of North America and people spend a shitload on tickets to watch them lose year after year. They haven't made it to the playoffs since before the lockout(6 or 7 years ago?)! Most of the hardcore Leaf fans I know can't afford to go watch them at their home rink so they have to drive to Buffalo to watch their team play....it's sad really.
That hit on Pacioretty wasn't really comical in the least. I like how Pacioretty said that it was stupid for the Montreal Police to open an investigation on the matter since the incident happened as a part of the game...gotta respect him for that. Personally, I don't think Chara meant to hit his head into that post.
-
Chara is the last guy in the league i want to hit me like that. I'm suprised the dude still has a heartbeat.

I think it was intentional; everyone I know that played hockey said it was plenty of time to be aware of who it was, where he was etc.
Also holy fuck the canucks are amazing

They're currently 4 points out. This point last year, they were 14-17 points out. They are currently in year 2 of a rebuild, which usually takes 5, so getting close to the playoffs in the second year sounds pretty good. John Ferguson Jr. left this team in a shithole that Brian Burke had to clean up.
Considering there is no one from the team pre-lockout left (now that Kaberle got traded finally) and they're one of the youngest teams in the NHL, I say Burke's done a good job. Atleast they're not the Florida Panthers. Haven't made the playoffs since 2000, getting high first round picks that don't make a difference (Bouwmeester, Frolik, Weiss), getting good players that could make a difference, only to trade them away for shitty players and lower round draft picks because they're not in the playoffs.
And I only thought it was comical because all these league sponsors were calling for justice, yet RJ Umberger of Columbus did it to Drew Doughty 2-3 nights later, nothing. No outrage, no uproar, nothing, just because they were playing in Columbus, and no one gives a shit about hockey there. If Hal Gill did it to David Krejci, or another Bruin other than Chara did it, no one would care because Chara's 7'0 on skates and 6'9 off them.

I disagree. Did you see both of the hits?
Pacioretty was unconscious and has a broken vertebrae.
Doughty, love the guy, but he's one of the biggest divers/whiners in the league, the hit wasn't that bad.
Canucks locked up the NW and a playoff spot in the process, can do no worse than 3rd in the Western Conference. However, playoffs scare the shit out of me. The pessimist in me see's us losing in the first round to PHX or Chicago, and being labelled the next San Jose Sharks. If Edler and Bieksa can get back in time then were in good shape, also if Kesler and Burrows stay healthy for the playoffs that would be a boost, last year supposedly they both played hurt.
Im pulling for the Leafs to make the playoffs. They need to give Kadri more time to mature and get bigger, watched some of the game today and he just gets muscled off the puck every play which leads to shitty turnovers. Grabovski is the leafs best forward imo, he has some unreal solo rushes and dangles, how long is he signed for?

Similar hits as they both went into the pole, different results since Chara's a freak of nature, and pretty much invisible. I agree with Kadri, he needs to bulk up in order to be effective. It's like watching Jason Blake out there, and he was painful to watch.
I also agree with Grabovski, as he's been my favorite player for them, now that he's more of a two way player and can do everything he's supposed to. I honestly couldn't stand him last season. He couldn't back check, take a hit, had no defensive play, and was just overall shitty. He's improved greatly, winning me over enough to buy a Grabovski jersey. He is currently signed for next season at $2.9 million, he would them become a UFA afterwards. He needs a contract extension, much like MacArthur, Schenn, Sjostrom, and various others need new contracts at the end of this season.
-
kadri should play one year minimum in the AHL.....it's the right thing to do.
went to the canucks game last night.....we're finding a way to win those games...the problem for the canucks will be if the refs put away their whistles in the playoffs, which they often do, no powerplays=no goals, plus I can see them getting frustrated and losing focus in a tight game. I was at the boston game where everyone was screaming to nail chara....real good idea....sure someone ran chara, then chara gets mad, nails henrik, while everyone's screaming for a penalty, they go up the ice and score.... I don't want to see the ducks first round, the canucks don't have an answer to getzlaf and perry, teemu is a canuck killer too, even w. hiller out they're a tough team. I want to see Dallas fall to 8th which is a strong possibility.
-
Im pulling for the Leafs to make the playoffs. They need to give Kadri more time to mature and get bigger, watched some of the game today and he just gets muscled off the puck every play which leads to shitty turnovers. Grabovski is the leafs best forward imo, he has some unreal solo rushes and dangles, how long is he signed for?

Hi Five Frisco! I'm hoping beyond hope I just wish they hadn't blew that game against tampa bay the other night or they would be a bit closer. They are out 4 points now, so we need teams to loose big time. They better beat florida tonight or I'll be pissed.
It's gotta be nice being a canuck fan this year, I could see them going all the way if they can shake their playoff curse. Not only is Luongo insane this year, but the backup corey shneider is amazing too, and that's a recipe for a cup.
I agree with both you guys about grabovski. They need to lock him up just as much as they need to re-sign Macarthur. Last year I hated grabovski, but looks like hes really come around, dude is explosive now. I heard he gets along really well with Ron Wilson and that must be helping.
Also agree with you guys about Kadri, hes too small. Hes good, but you can't be a twig and play in the NHL it doesn't work. Give him a year in the AHL and get him to bulk up and keep his speed.

I didn't know there was any Leaf fans on here, or anyone else rooting for them to make a playoff spot. I'm glad there is, because now matter how bad they are, I'll watch because the future's bright. All the Leafs need to do is solidify their goaltending because after Reimer the savior, there's Giguere and Gustavsson, get a top line centre, like Brad Richards, a defensemen like Joni Pitkanen, and get rid of Brett Lebda.
Watching Brett Lebda is like watching a car accident. He caused the Leafs to go 4-1, he caused the Leafs to lose to shitty teams like Columbus, he left Beniot Pouliot wide open in the slot, and they scored and Leafs got shutout. Lashoff was a million times better, don't know why it took him so long to get called up.
-
yup lebda has been horrible I don't understand why they keep giving him minutes. Then on the opposite end, we have Phaneuf who's actually been playing great since the all star break. He got 2 goals and an assist last night I hope he keeps it up because he was such a dissapointment for the entire first half of the season.
I'll be a leafs fan for life no matter how badly they suck. My Father in-law jumped ship to root for the habs last year (he's from MTL) and I told him there's no coming back if the leafs start doing well. I hate how many bandwagon fans are in Toronto, everyone talks soo much shit on them but as soon as they start doing well everyone's driving around with those stupid car window flags.
The leafs have been shit for almost the entire season so it's actually very amusing that they are even remotely close to a playoff spot. I realize the chances are still slim but it's been too long since we've had any hope so I'll take it.
-
Reimer, Burke, and the leadership Phaneuf's been showing has helped us tremendously.
Dion was talking in here, trying to get the boys fired up,? said goalie James Reimer. ?Mike Komisarek, all the veterans (followed), saying what we need to do. As a team we just kind of settled in here and took some time to realize what we each had to do out there to be better, and it worked.? The Maple Leafs pulled off a 4-3 come-from-behind regulation win over Buffalo on Saturday night to keep the heat on the Sabres and New York Rangers, who are holding down the last two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference.
?Didn?t have to say much,? said Phaneuf. ?We knew what was on the line. We played a pretty good second but we let them back into it. The only thing that was said was, ?We?ve got 20 minutes to make this our game.? We did that. It feels great.
?It?s the biggest win of the year for our team, but now we move forward to a bigger game on Monday.?
Phaneuf played a team-high 28 minutes 20 seconds, the third straight game in which he?s played at least 28 minutes. He also led the team with six hits. He hasn?t played less than 25 minutes in a game in a month, as coach Ron Wilson has relied on him even more since the departures of Francois Beauchemin and Tomas Kaberle.
Phaneuf might have been at his team-leading best when the Sabres ? with the net empty ? called a timeout. Phaneuf yapped and chatted at all his teammates, skating to Reimer, then player to player, offering encouragement.
His post-game demeanor in front of cameras may be staid, but on ice he?s the emotional polar opposite of Mats Sundin.
?We?ve got great leadership here,? said Reimer.
If Dion could play like this all season and be healthy, then the Dion from Calgary is back. I'm even more excited for the Capitals vs Leafs game on April 5th because they're playing great, and it's a real good enviroment. I'll be wearing my Grabovski jersey with pride.
-
you gonna be at the game? that'll be a good one.
I was super lucky with tickets last year, went to 6 games for free, once in the platinums too. Not so much this year, I've only been to one game at the start of the season against phily through my friends work tickets.
I refuse to buy tickets it's such a gawdam rip off. I already spend way too much on beer when I go. Pretty much only time I go to a leafs game is if I'm offered free tickets.
-
I am sorry, I am a canadian, I am from the leafs region, but I can not support that franchise, too many reasons to list.
Plus Phanuff has a fucking faux hawk.
Go Sabres.

My friend bought the tickets and invited me. The seats are usually in the nosebleeds, but the view isn't bad at all. I also went to the game on January 20th versus Anaheim. Leafs won 5-2, and we still had Beauchemin, Versteeg and Kaberle, and Lupul was on Anaheim.

I don't really hate the leafs, it's just annoying how much the media covers them....I shouldn't know who Freddy Sjostrom is...I didn't need a daily update on whether or not Kaberle had been traded for the past two years....but it's obvious why they get all the attention. Burke did alot of good in Vancouver, but after the Kessel deal, the Phaneuf deal, then making him captain.... it's hard to feel bad for the team. I think people in TO were o.k. with just a serious tank for awhile, so he didn't need to make those moves. Ask anyone from Calgary if they think Phaneuf would be a good captain....

Haha yea I hear you. Totally understand going for another team its not easy being a leafs fan. It only bothers me when the same people who talk all the shit in the world end up rooting for the buds as soon as they start playing well (not that it happens very often haha) then hop back on the other side of the fence and root for another team when theyre not. And yea faux hawk is inexcuseable.

I agree with you 100% on that Im not sure why that made phaneuf captain before he even proved himself. Then he didn't prove himself and sucked for the majority of the time last season and this season, thankfully hes playing a bit better now. Still at this point luke shenn should be captain or better yet no one should have the C really because no one has really stepped up for them to deserve it yet.
I know what you mean about the media coverage its a bit rediculous here, thats part of why i think a lot of people hate the leafs. They can be one of the worst teams in the leauge and still the building gets filled up every game, which is counter productive to a re-build in that there is less pressure to have a "good" team. This recent run they had gives me hope for them because at least we have a goalie now (reimer), I was never confident with gustavson or giguere, and they put giguere in last night and look what happened he got shelled. Why they didn't play reimer who's hot for such an important game i have no fucking clue.
Appreciate that you dont hate the leafs because most of canada does. If i go to van i feel serious hate for the leafs and montreals no different. My buddy from TO moved to MTL and wears his leafs jersey to play pond hockey and no one passes to him lol.
EDIT: fucking iPhone typing, i'll never get used to the texting on this
-
I live exactly in the middle of buffalo and toronto, distance wise, it is basically impossible to get tickets to the leafs games, and if you can afford the rape of a night financially, parking, food, beer, bal bla bla, then you get to see some inconistant bullshit product. I have never been a fan.
I was a sabres fan as a kid, because thats who we would go watch, way cheaper, better product, hasek in his prime, and its a real hockey town. As soon as I started skating, i never even watched hockey ever again, sold all my equipment, and said farwell, now I'm older and I am a fan gain. The sabres aren't really thre best or anything, but I can't deal with the leafs.
Nothing against leaf fans. Good luck to you.
-
The sabres are damn good and Miller is one hell of a goalie too. I actually like the sabres and I'm down with Vancouver and the rest of the west coast teams. The only two teams I truely hate are the Habs and the Sens.
-
ef hate the habs, soo many lame seasonal hab fans that pick up habs gear at walmart and act hard core.
-
When Vanek was a rookie and the Sabres had Briere, Drury, Roy and Afinoganov they were one of my favourite teams, I was bummed how the team sort of fell apart after that. They have some sick rookies now with Ennis, Gerbe and Meyers, Stafford is super good too
-
The West is way too close right now. Flames are probably fucked even if they hold on to that playoff spot, not liking our chances against Van/Det/SJ. Although I guess we're always good at forcing things to a seventh game if only to be let down.
-
And Giguere just HAD to shit the bed against the Florida Panthers. They should have of played Gustavsson.
-

what's with everyone being a sabres fan here.....
They have hope there for sure....with the new ownership, they'll rise again.....

SO STOKED theres some TO fans on here. My opinion, Kadri wont be a bust but wilson has gotta give the kid some confidence, sure he turns the puck over but so does taylor hall and noone gets on him because he scores. Whys that? Because his coach supports him. Gives him room to learn.
Now. Lebda and Komi are probably THE two most overpaid defencmen out there. Look at schenn and aulie even.. rookie contracts yet producing every game. Its a joke that there still playing. Thats my two cents for now.
Hope they make the playoffs
-
the rangers have stepped it up lately with 3 very important wins in a row. now i just have to count on buffalo, carolina, toronto, and atlanta to get cold for the remainder of the season haha. it doesnt help that atlanta and buffalo play tonight... lets just hope it doesnt go to overtime

Terry Pegula is changing the culture over there in buffalo, he will make sure buffalo doesn't pull another danny briere chris drury again.
I have liked the sabres since I was a kid, but i wasnt watching hockey fo ra long while. , and its not liek they are really that good, they are on the bubble of being in or out of theplayoffs. I don't see a tonof hipe fo rthem this year, but the future looks bright.
I do like that I am getting people in here talking about the sabres though. artichoke, where you at?

Kadri needs to bulk up in order to be effective. I can't wait unitl Colborne or Gardiner play with us. And Lebda's like watching a car accident, or John Mitchell play defense. I like Komisarek, but he's been stuck with bad players (Beauchemin, Finger, Lebda) and is injured, much like Armstrong has. He's just unlucky.
Atleast they're up 2-1 over Boston and Kadri scored his first NHL goal.
-
Probably been brought up already but what do you guys think of Chara's hit on Max Pacioretty in that Bruins vs Habs game?
-

A hockey hit that went wrong, and eventually blown out of proportion, thanks to the Montreal Police wanting to launch a criminal investigation over it. Even Pacioretty said that was stupid.

PS For the leaf fans on here, what do you guys picture next year's lineup looking like? Think Burke'll go with a Reimer/Gusto combo, or will he sign a UFA like Bryzgalov?
-
Bryzgalov wont be a UFA, and if he did he could get 6+mil a season, Phoenix will keep him
-
I wouldn't trust a rookie goaltender to be the Leafs starter, and what if Gustavsson is still having heart problems, confidence issues, and still plays like shit? Who do we got then? Rynnas? Playing mainly rookie goaltenders hasn't worked out well for the Islanders.
And what if Bryzgalov doesn't decide to sign with Phoenix, because the teams future is still uncertain? Bryzgalov can bring experience in net, and be a good mentor to Reimer, because he's actually good. I wouldn't mind Tomas Vokoun either.

I'm an Atlanta Thrashers fan, go on laugh it up. Being a fan of this franchise can be incredibly frustrating. :-\

Goes with Reimer, cheaps out on the defence and burns him out with 35/40 shots a night like they've done with every other goaltender for the last 20 years while fans collectively rage themselves senseless.
-
I'd go Reimer/Gustav combo for sure.....save your money, buy some leadership and depth. You can site the islanders, but look at signing bryzgalov stinks of edmonton signing Khabibulin. Wait a minute....don't tell me this is another stupid Leaf rumour which is based completely on the TO media going...'hey....we need this guy!'....it's like leading up to the draft a few years back...'Toronto interested in Tavares!'

it's playoff hockey....everyone is tightening up....the last couple nux games haven't been pretty but we're finding a way to win. Losing Malholtra is huge though, and maybe Hamhuis is down. In some ways it doesn' t matter though, if all Vancouver's key players do what they are suppose to do....we should go deep. IF....big IF.....it's so funny in Vancouver, maybe you guys have a different opinion but even here, not everyone quite buys this team yet.

Oh no, don't get me wrong, they've kicked ass this season especially with Crosby out for so long. I meant squeaking by in the last couple games by winning them with SOs.
yeah. it's been pretty ridiculous
-
Probably because no believes they could get as far as they did in 2008 and 2009 without Crosby or Malkin.
-
Oh the canucks can still be doubted...1) president's trophy curse 2) best defensive player out 3) unproven goalie 4) playing best of 7, you might figure out how to play the twins 5) little playoff experience
I could go on....never really having success here...we're pretty good at picking them apart.
-
Is their really any stiff competition for the Canucks in the west? I know the Blackhawks have, but the majority of their team minus their top core is gone.
-
The Canucks are really fucking good. And as a wings fan, they scare me. The only thing is Luongo has a track record of shitting the bed in the playoffs. The back end of the west is so tight right now, the first round match ups will be pretty good this year.
-
I forgot too....6) refs never call anything in the playoffs
I actually like San Jose as they have less pressure this year...Detroit is always going to be there, they have the systems, they have the vets. I'm pretty sure I mentioned this already but I don't like Anaheim at all...the Canucks don't have an answer to Getzlaf and Perry.....
-
Canucks are pretty much the only Canadian team that could even possibly contend, unless Price plays like Halak in the playoffs. I hope Dallas squeaks in, I've always liked them.
-
It's beyond amazing that these are the sabres from the first half of the year. A bit worried about playoff matchups- i'd actually love to see them go back down to the 8th seed so they can play Philly. They can beat the Flyers, and Buffalo/Philly series are always grudgematches.
-
either way, they have come a logn way from september, Jonas enroth's 1-0 shurtout last night was HUUUUGE.
It would be a better matchup against philly, the yreally are chugging into the playoffs.
-
I have been down for Devils since I was a little kid, to bad they probably can't make the playoffs this year.
So I will follow the Capitals this year playoff, and I'm a Arnott fan.

here here, Ive seen so many stupid Facebook statuses since winning the presidents trophy "The Cup is ours" all of this shit
The playoffs really scare me as a Canucks fan, I just keep picturing us losing in the first round, I still can't believe we beat LA in last years payoffs, we were outplayed
Canucks have no answer for Perry Getzlaf and Selanne, Ryan. Same with Toewes and Kane, it sounds fucking stupid but they have this "swag" that I dont think any Canucks player has, maybe when Kesler was on his ridiculous goal scoring pace. If we face Chicago, and beat them, its all downhill from there, they have a huge mental edge on us. You never like to see any player injured but I sure was happy to see Sharp and Kopitar both go down,
Any more takers for the playoff pool?
-
Everyone talks shit on luongo, but he's been playing amazing all year this year, he's not gonna choke and even if he shit's the bed Corey Shnieder has been incredible i heard yesterday he was something like 17-4-4 on the season.
Frisco I would do a playoff pool but I think I'm already doing a 20$ one with my friends after this regular season ones done and I have a hard enough time staying on top of that one.
-
its just for fun, plus its only a one time draft, you dont even need to check your team after that, just more fun if theres more people
-
yep...I'm still concerned, but at the same time I'm thankful we have a competitive team, to some that might not mean shit unless you deep into the playoffs but I think it beats the hell out what alot of cities have. This year was nuts....
I think Vancouver can take Chicago, our D is way more mobile than other years, admittedly they still aren't very physical, but Chicago lost Byfuglin, Ladd, and Versteeg ie. all their size.... Actually what worries me a tiny bit about them is a rookie goalie....
The truth is though the playoff is a whole different season.
-
Deal with the playoffs when they get here. Besides, we aren't the same team as the last two years. We've beaten everybody, other teams should be worried about facing us, not vice versa. Our regular season is insane. Presidents trophy before any other western team even clinched a playoff spot?has that ever been done before?
-
its just for fun, plus its only a one time draft, you dont even need to check your team after that, just more fun if theres more people

Me too. And if Toronto wins out the will have the same season recored. 40-32-10. What do they count next. There wins/loses against each other?
Still routing Canucks to take it. 40 year Canadien team that has never won the cup. They deserve it and I have my faith in Lou as he has had more rest this season than before. Hopefully the ducks end up 8th seed so I can go to a nucks ducks playoff game at the pond.
-
if they have the same amount of points, the tie breaker is WWAS (wins without a shootout).

if the leafs win out, and the sabres and caines lose all of their games remaining, the leafs and sabres will have a tie breaker game.
go sabres.

i hate the flames, simply becasue of their play by play announcers voice. oilers are cool but really suck, canucks are ridiculasly good, habs seems to have the lamest fans who only come outfor the playoffs, the leafs just suck.
looks like sabrs are in, it would take losing out and the canes winnign otu to get themn out of the playoffs.
-
How bout them leafs?
damn. but whatever the odds have been against them since all the teams they needed to loose won't stop winning.
Surprise surprise.....they almost got 8th place again.....if you're gonna suck...suck bad...why get kessel and phaneuf, if all it's going to do is cement your position in 10th place in the conference every year.
all in all, I'm pretty stoked with the outcome of this season. Screwed Boston for their pick. We have a starting goaltender for next year for once that the team has confidence in. The Grabovski line has proven consistant productivity. Phaneuf has been playing WAY better of late. Luke Shenn is looking like a veteran. There's tons of positives to take away from the season.
looks like sabrs are in, it would take losing out and the canes winnign otu to get themn out of the playoffs.
I'm rooting for your Sabres to get in, i really like that team. I guess I'll either vote for Van or Buf come playoff time, but it will only be pretending I care :(
-
thanks! i think i am basically the same, van in the west, buffalo in the east, vancouver is just such a good team to watch.
-
I'm pulling for the sabres too....I admit, edmonton does have some decent young players, but what's to say they won't suck for another 5 years plus? For every blackhawks, capitals, penguins, there's a panthers, thrashers, and best of all...the islanders.... you hope these young guys can lead you out of the woods, but you really don't know.... I raised this to an Edmonton fan recently who told me....'no...no...we know what it takes to build a champion....'
-
Corey Perry stay away, although im almost sure he has the Hart locked up, hes been unreal down the stretch
I'd way rather play Dallas over Chicago, would love to see Chicago miss the playoffs
-
I can see Daniel Sedin win the Hart just cause people would like to see that. I went to the Captials vs Leafs game on the 5th, never saw so many people cry in my life, plus I lost my voice. I've hated Buffalo before, but now I hate them even more. I hope they bow out in the first round.
-
Naw...no way...we had too many other players who were successful for Daniel to win the MVP...even last year, fans in Vancouver were surprised.... The twins are like....the slap analogy would be...they are prod...really good but... way rather watch Linus Omark. I'm not too stoked on that analogy though....who are the twins? Billy Marks?
Are we doin' the pool?
-
Yea my bad I had another pool tonight that ran 2 hours, I'll set this one up for Monday night? Sorry dudes I work until 11pm Pacific so itll be around 1130 Pacific which is 230 for you eastcoast dudes
Either that or early Wednesday before any of the games start
What time works best for people?
-
don't think i'm doing anything wed. so maybe that....hopefully there will be enough dudes....
-
Fuck, I just saw the playoff schedule and I have work or school for all the penguins games for the next week.
-
i'm curious how the chicago vancouver series is going to go.
-
nice, i like your sabre love
Here are my predictions
EAST:
Caps over NY in 5
Sabres over Flyers in 7
Bruins over Habs in 4
Pens over Tampa in 7
WEST:
Canucks over Hawks in 6
Sharks over LA in 5
Coyotes over wings in 7
Ducks over PReds in 7
ITs going to be an awsome first round
-
haven't put alot of thought into this really but...
Caps over NYR in 6
Flyers over Sabres in 7 (I changed my mind, I'm pulling for Buffalo, but I think Philly will win)
Bruins over Habs 7
Pens over Tampa in 6
Canucks over Hawks 6
Sharks over LA in 5
Coyotes over wings in 7
Preds over Anaheim in 6
I'm guessing the Bruins come out of the East....Canucks or Sharks out of the west.....
Actually looking forward to the Boston Montreal game more than the Canucks one....I have no real vested interest in that series other than watching two teams hopefully shit kicking each other.....
-
i think doug browns mom put it in the washing machine when he slept over at doug's house.
I just can't see the habs going anywhere against boston, and honestly habs fans are the worst. Nobody onthe habs can touch a bruins player, boston has so much more size and power.
I'm loving all the buffalo love on here.
-
Bruins over Habs in 6 sounds about right, I would love to see it in 4though, just to shut those idiots up.
-
The Canadiens lose the series, but finally get their revenge on Chara at the end of game four when they all squeeze his hand really hard during the post-game handshakes.
-
i bet they'll spit on their hands.
-
pens got their work cut out for them with the bolts, but i'm hoping they turn on the heat and take them in 4. i fucking hate the bolts.
sharks will win the first 2 games then fall to pieces, losing 4 in a row
wings reverse last year's results and take phoenix in 7
carcillo's facial hair somehow makes him look even more like a mongoloid and the flyers sweep the sabres, though i'd like buffalo to win. the only thing that town has going for it is sunday skateshop
bruins in 5
hawks in 7
ducks in 6
caps in 4
-
Stoked the pens won last night, they were explosive in the 3rd. Even without sid, if he comes back they are gonna maul tampa bay.
What happened to Stamkos anyways? He was like the next coming of jesus for the first 2 months of the season then he vanished.
Gonna be hopping on the Pens bandwagon again this year.
Watched most of the Caps vs Rangers game too, Ovechkins looking like he wants it. I missed the OT goal but looks like Semin put one in to win it.
I'm hoping both the caps and pens make it out of the first round.
-
Goddamn, I love playoff hockey! Great game between the Sharks and Kings goin' on as we speak. Who will win in OT?
edit: Sharks win. Great game, great goaltending.
I'm not too good with predictions, but I will say that I'm rooting for the Bruins in the East and the Preds in the West.
-

I just can't see the habs going anywhere against boston, and honestly habs fans are the worst. Nobody onthe habs can touch a bruins player, boston has so much more size and power.

I'm pretty sure MTL had more hits throughout the season match-ups between these two....
-
habs in 6 ;D
-
I didn't stay up for the whole sharks vs. Kings game but I saw Heatleys goal and they were loooking amazing in the first.
Watched both the other games. Hate to say it but the habs were looking cool and collected and the bruins sucked dick and so did tim tomas. I don't like either team but I hate the habs more so boston better pick up their socks. I don't mind seeing boston get knocked out though then habs knocked out next round haha.
Buffalo and Philly was a tight game, I'm rooting for buffalo in that one and glad they won. Miller was as cool as a cucumber and that's what they need to win.

So nice seeing the Caps blank the Rangers AND the Pens got stomped!
I'd rather see the rangers take the Caps out, and yea stomped sounds about right with the penguins, seeing bruins vs habs today, go B's!
-
And that's exactly why I'd like to see them outta there ha, but then again every team in the play offs isn't going to be an easy ride. These match ups this year are awesome.
-
Got 10 points in my hockey pool last night, 6 of them from Vancouver. I sure hope Chicago makes it interesting, Vancouver's dominating them.

Bruins... poor guys. The Garden was more than disappointed tonight.

Habs were looking so strong last night. Stepping up their physical game. Imagine a vancouver/mtl final? It won't happen, but if it did, Canada would get set on fire.

Pavel Datsuk was magicial yesterday. Its not because I'm a bias Wings fan, but that dude is the most underraed player in the league.

It was a good game, I thought the caps were gonna come back somehow after that 3rd goal. I'm still thinking caps will take it in 5

Hell yeah! I was cursing at my TV on game 3 when Kaleta was being way too aggro. As aggro as the Flyers are Kaleta was way too overzealous in that game.
Im glad they held it back in this one and Miller retaining his crown for sure!
I am sort of worried what will happen if Pronger comes back into the game though, not gonna deny him being pretty beastly at defense.
-
Amazing OT win by the Preds tonight. They were down 3-2 near the end of the 3rd - they pulled the goalie and tied it up with only 36 seconds left. What a great series.

Might be a long shot right about now... Unfortunately. Anyone just watch Bruins/Habs game 6? In my opinion those ref's favored the hell out of the Habs, might just be the hate mind-set talking though. Go Blackhawks.

Jesus Christ. Burrows is a beast.

what a game, hawks nucks series was epic
sabres are done, the game was lost in the first period

definitely fun stuff....I never really believed it but Vancouver fans are the most annoying and bandwagon hoppers...wholly crap...my entire section was bitching endlessly about offsides and going on about 'we're gonna lose...'

all the bandwagon canucks fans were soooo baked in the overtime

Some great series going on.� Looking forward to wrapping round 1 tonight.� I'd love to see both the Habs and Pens lose in Round 1, but I just don't think it's gonna happen.
Think again! Awesome first series.
-
Fuck this first round was awesome. Every series besides the Detroit-Phoenix series was entertaining. Every night for the past week there has been overtime, and there was four series that went the distance. I really wish hockey season would start in August and the playoffs would start t the beggining of March so I would have more motivation to pile out and watch hockey instead of enjoy spring.
I was really hoping Vancouver would pull the ultimate choke, it was pretty close, Crawford outplayed luongo tenfold. I'm bummed that that whiny bitch Burrows was the one who finally beat Crawford. But them finally beating the Blackhawks will just make future series even better. This rivalry is so entertaining. Bandwagon fans are the fucking worst, there is a ton of Canuck bandwagon fans all of a sudden here in oil country. I never understood the whole "cheer for the Canadian team" mentality.
-
Chicago-Vancouver was crazy. Was pulling for the Hawks just out of spite for Vancouver, but that series was a ton of fun to watch. Reffing was pretty ridiculous, I don't think it really favored either team (Gillis is a cunt), but I was glad that the CBC panel took a bit of a stand on all the non-call bullshit that was going on. Have to like free-flowing play but they let it get out of hand in game 7 especially, and then cheap calls become that much more infuriating.
-
I didin't mind the lack of penalties...that's always what they do..let 'em play...and then call a couple of bs calls. My theory on burrows though was that the refs were embarrassed they called the penalty shot on his obvious dive.....evened it up in OT.

Here are my predictions
EAST:
Caps over NY in 5
Sabres over Flyers in 6
Bruins over Habs in 6
Pens over Tampa in 7
WEST:
Canucks over Hawks in 5
Sharks over LA in 5
Red Wings over Coyotes in 6

Ok, so I was 5-3 on my predictions....
So here's my Round 2 picks.
Canucks over Preds in 6
Red Wings over San Jose in 6
Caps over Tampa in 5
Philly over Bruins in 7
I'll give it a shot...
Preds > Canucks in 7
Red Wings > San Jose in 5 (Rather see SJS take the W though.)
Caps > Tampa in 6
Bruins > Flyers in 6
Couple long shots, see how it goes.

I just want to see them get shut down. If they can figure out how the twins work I'm sure it can happen, just throwing it out there.
-
The Preds were out of their element tonight, don't know if they're going to be able to handle the pressure.
-
Canucks have a tendency to crack under pressure, we played a great game tonight, but it's the playoffs...if the predators had gotten one late, we'd be shitting our pants....
Canucks over Preds 6
San Jose over Detroit 7
Caps over Tampa 6
Bruins over Philly 5

I'm gonna say,
Canucks over Preds 5
Detroit over SJ 7
Caps over Tampa 6
Philly over Boston 6

I didn't get to see the Caps lose last night. What did they do wrong?
lucky goal, power play goal empty net goal

Looks like TBL is really taking advantage of the Caps few mistakes made...

red wings aren't looking too hot

Its amazing to see anybody outbully the Flyers. Charas didn't even bend any to check Briere and hit him right in the face. Got a phoney call from it too.
Personally its cathartic seeing how the Flyers took out half of our Sabres with some dirty plays. Fuck em up Bruins!!!!!!!

the caps tried to be better defensively all year but it's not so easy in the playoffs...their goalie sucks too....I don't think changing the coach will do much....
how many games has philly played just one goalie?
-
None in the playoffs, they shouldve stayed with Bobrovsky from the start I feel. He seems like the best goalie for them who got taken out on the first game of their series with the Sabres for letting 3 by I think.
Boucher is just off lots of times though, he looks like a lazy ape swatting flies most times.
Leighton is not bad either they should let him get some more shine.
Tim Thomas on the other hand :o

tampa bay looks like a force to be reckoned with, boston vs tampa should be a good series

the caps have the talent to win the cup year after year. Guy Boucher was constantly adapting his line as the play was going on.
meanwhile bruce was just there, doing jack shit, treating the player like superstar. when Backstrom and Semin clearly needed a kick in the ass.
EDIT: ovy can't win the game by himself...taking 20 shot per game.... its the coach job to bring the team together.

Boucher has scuffed up the stick racks a bunch of times, Bobrovsky on the other hand made one of the coolest looking saves ever last night. Not to mention it was a second after they put him in too. Id guess some sort of favoritism with the players and crowd goes into who they choose as their primary? They go through practice with Boucher probably.
As cool as OV and the Caps are I feel like hes trying to pull an MJ really hard and carry the weight of the entire team. Hes someone who seems like he doesn't play as strategically but more for the highlight reel.
Also I became sort of fond of the Preds lately, Pekka Rinne is playing way too good! Anybody else want them to take out the Cnucks???

I can't get into this Preds / Canucks series... Both teams just don't really catch my attention. Nashville's gotta work there way up to get my acceptance I guess, I'm really not sure.
-
I look at it both ways though, if their not playing so well atleast Pekka Rinne will make some mindboggling saves. :P
The Canucks seem like real jocks though, especially Kesler whos always talking shit to the goalie for no reason.
Can't deny their skills but Im not exactly for the Canucks.

I'm not counting the preds out yet.....every game could have gone either way. I'm fine w. San Jose making it through, I thought they'd go deep this year because the pressure's off, Nabakov reminded me alot of Louie....good when he's good, but when he's bad the whole team stinks... w. Neimmi it's like the team doesn't expect that much from him, he doesn't get rattled either. They'll be a good match up against the Canucks if they make it through Nashville, it'll be a good series.
Boston and Tampa should be a good one...if that's how it goes down. Boston's tough but seeing how they almost got beat by Montreal makes you wonder. I think if Tampa plays their game, they'll scare the crap out of Boston. Roloson's got a bit of time to rest too
-
Could you be any more wishy washy jsoy? We've outplayed the predators in 3 of 4 games. We just sit back too much with the lead. We simply have more skill.
All hockey players are the definitons of 'jocks', but keslers off ice weirdness and affinity for fucking with reporters is genuinely funny.

For the Bruins I'd say the Habs were probably the toughest team they could have played, with the whole rivalry and emotions from that Pacioretti hit by Chara. Not to mention all season long the Canadians have kind of been the Bruins kryptonite so to say. They're looking big and bad again against Philly, that first period in game 3 was probably the best hockey playing I've seen in awhile. Curious to see how this goes.
-
I have money on the Sharks and Bruins to win their series and they are both up 3-0. Hell yea.
I'd like to see San Jose do well, I'm hoping they sweep Detroit. What the hell is up with Detroit anyways, they have completely fallen apart, it's like watching a train wreck.

All but game 4, we dominated them, Rinne is just a savage in net, pretty sure hes stopped every 2on1 we've had, which isnt a lot but he is a beast.
SJ scares the shit out of me, they have size (Clowe, Thornton, Cotoure, Heatley, Eager?) plus Niemmi has actually looked really good in the Detroit series
Itll be a great series though, doubt either Detroit or Nashville can come back from 3-1
edit: fuck Detroit is down 3-0 forgot, they are fucked, where is Franzen?

Could you be any more wishy washy jsoy? We've outplayed the predators in 3 of 4 games. We just sit back too much with the lead. We simply have more skill.
All hockey players are the definitons of 'jocks', but keslers off ice weirdness and affinity for fucking with reporters is genuinely funny.
The best team doesn't always win.....

legs are getting old at detroit
That's exactly it, Detroit has a lot of players that have been around for too long, bet ya next year the coach will make some changes. They've seen the cup too many times in the last 10 years anyway.
-
I have money on the Sharks and Bruins to win their series and they are both up 3-0. Hell yea.
I'd like to see San Jose do well, I'm hoping they sweep Detroit. What the hell is up with Detroit anyways, they have completely fallen apart, it's like watching a train wreck.
trainwreck is a bit harsh. 2 of the games were OT losses. it just seems like they aren't getting the bounces or setting up as well as they should be. Flippula and a few others haven't stepped up this year like they have in past postseasons, and it was guys like that who've made the difference in the past.

KRAWANWALLLLLLLLLLL
-
Man, Detroit isn't going down without a fight it seems. Good stuff keep these series going as long as possible.
-
Glad the Red Wings are still alive, they've been getting me a good amount of points in my hockey pool.
-
Im glad that series is getting stretched, hopefully it tires out SJ and maybe even softens them up

yea looks like I spoke too soon anyways, I didn't see the game last night but I'm impressed Detroit is not letting the sharks take it easily. If it ties up 3-3 game 7 is going to be awesome.

yeah it's a good series at the very least. i love kronwall. clowe made some comment about kronwall laying people out like, "i'd like to see him try that on someone like me." he got kronwalled the next game.
i hope boston shits on tampa's chest
-
Anyone else thinking that the Canucks sure don't look like a number 1 conference team? And yea I'm hoping that the Bruins do something along the lines of chest shitting to Tampa Bay. They haven't been to the cup finals since 1990, I believe, they sure as hell need/want it... Go B's.
-
What are they missing? Art Ross, check, Selke finalist, check, Vezina finalist, check
Kesler absolutely beasted it through the last series, 11 points in 6 games, 1 back of Bure's all time single series point total
It was a tight defensive series, not these 7-3 games Philly and Boston were having, different styles.
The Sedins need to step up like Kesler has.
-
I feel pretty good about the Canucks.....this series creeped me out because I know Canucks can beat a team 7-4, but have a real tough time with 2-1 type games. It's Nashville....does anyone roll over them? It's pretty obvious though, all the teams have a chance.....

and that goal that he caught at the blue line and came back and scored was so baller
-
Damn gotta say my respect for Kesler has skyrocketted, any dude who can get a slap shot to the mandible and still play the rest of the game are on some serious olympian shit!
Joel Ward is the man also! Kinda bummed the Preds are disqualified but their offense was playing like shit. They were just chipping the puck in at the neautral zone and couldn't really man up and charge the net like Kesler was doing.
-
yah....I wrote him off as a career 3rd liner a few years back....all he could do was skate straight up the ice.....I heard crawford on the radio saying how when they drafted him....he wasn't stoked at all....

I'm a life long Wings fan and after the 3-0 hole they were put in, I never thought they would be in the position they are now. But last night was a straight up ass kicking. The score was much closer than the game. San Jose didnt show up. Joe Thorton pulled some bitch moves and should sit the next game, but Gary Betman is spineless. Win or lose with game seven, I'm stoked that my guys made this a competitive.

I'm bummed the Wings lost, but it was a great series. I still don't see anyone topping Vancouver this year.

Super tough to call, I don't think Vancouver's played their best hockey, if they can do that...they'll win.
-
Only counted 5 Shark players with cup rings: Boyle, Wallin, Niemi, Eager and Huskins. I just hope Tampa Bay could win it all, their roster reminds me of their 2004 team a lot.

I'm glad the Sharks didn't fall to the wings after being up 3 - 0, being a Bruins fan and watching them do that exact thing last year, I would have just felt bad for them. I can't see the Sharks taking out the Canucks though.

I have a feeling that those stupid penalties are going to keep happening if the Canucks keep up how they have been playing. He was extremely frustrated last night. It was great to see the Sedin's playing how they should.

got to go to the game...never thought I'd be pounding on my chest as the twins cycled.....'YEAH...THAT'S RIGHT, WE CAN PASS!!!!'

Anyone know a good streaming site for sports? I'm at work and don't trust the cbc site.

you guys still watching? Nice to see Vancouver finish the sharks....I knew this was game was going to be like a game 7 and it was. A shitty goal, but that's what happens in overtime....I'll take it, Vancouver could use the rest.
-
the nucks WOULD score in over time with possibly the shittiest goal any hockey player could muster.
-
It was oddly enough an amazing coincidence that the puck went completely on its side when Bieksa shot it.
It was even wobbling when he shot it. If you watch the goal if the puck wouldnt have been completely sideways it wouldve bounced off of Niemis pad!
Bieksa is the man and Im psyched on the Canucks won now.
They toned it down and rounded out their game a lot.
Between the Sedines puck control and Bieksas well rounded, relaxed but rough style of play Im beggining to really like the Canucks.
-

Out of respect for the game he shouldn't have taken that shot.

I really hope you're joking.
The canucks were clearly the better team, finishing them off in 5, so don't fucking go and blame it all on the one goal.
In the words of Niemi, "Going down 3-1 in the series is what hurt us, not any one call."
-
you kids might be too young to remember al iafrate, probably the sickest hair do in all of hockey....he was known as 'the wild thing'....in one game he had a chance at an empty net goal, and instead dumped it into the corner....he was later heard saying....'empty net goals are for fags...'
ya...it was close but the canucks just played better, san jose's offence didn't show up and Vancouver's D was just more deep. Pretty sure I saw a San Jose pp w. Ian White on it.....you can't have that.
-
agreed, its the canucks year to take it all, i would like to see the sharks win it soon though.

It's always so heartbreaking when a family loses a son.
Which is going to make it all the more devistating when the Sedin's have to bury two, after Chara grinds their bones to make his bread,
and drinks their blood from the stanley cup!

San jose fucking sucks. I'd be so bummed if I was a fan of theirs. Crazy amount of neutral zone turnovers, errant passes, embarassing fanning on shots.
It was a lame way to win though. But it the end luongo madfe it possible to even be playing at that point, it was inevitable really.
Canucks can beat you any way you'd like.

a win's a win. nucks are stoked. hope the bruins close this bitch out, thought i'd be interested in seeing a bolts/canucks series.

Loving the attitude. Game 7 is going to be impossible to predict, this series has been all over the place. I'm hoping it's going to be another game 3 (2-0 Bruins) win, all they got to do is stay out of the box. On another note, I knew the Canucks would beat the sharks but god damn was that double overtime goal Bieksa put in was just down right mean. Nevermind the fact they scored to tie it up with only 13 seconds left... Sharks, those poor guys.
-
It was just one goal...the Canucks pretty much swept 'em. It's true though, you feel bad for Thorton and Marleau, they held up their end for sure. The Canucks look clearly waaaay better than anything in the east. At the same time, I saw Boston shit kick them in regular season play.
-
It's different hockey for sure, whoever the Canucks play I'm sure it's not going to be an easy ride. Tampa's got that 1 - 3 - 1 defense that swept the Capitals. And the Bruins, got to say, are the best 5 on 5 team with a good penalty kill most of the time. If the Bruins power play wasn't 7% and up around 20% like every other team I'd say they'd be unstoppable, but that's just not the case. And unless Claude makes some dramatic changes to the PP line, it's going to stay that way. Kind of surprised to see the Canucks put the Sharks away without a struggle, unlike them in this post season for some reason. I can't fucking wait.
-
you cant use any stats to compare the two conferences. similar to baseball. one is just way better overall. not to say that canucks cant lose, but they shouldn't.

Even if MTS held the same amount of people as the average attendance in atl, the energy and heart there will be so much bigger.

Alright, while I consider myself to be a big fan of the way timmy thomas plays goalie super aggressive and isn't afraid to leave the blue every so often, I have absolutely no fucking idea what the hell he was thinking last night 12 seconds into OT. You've got all 6'9" of Chara guarding burrows, and no one to cover your left side, so why the fuck would you come so far out of goal as to make some weakass contact and then slide another 6 feet further from goal. Until he made that final dive, he had any shot burrows was going to make blocked...but then he just had to give it that extra bit of boldness, and it cost them the game.
you couldnt pick a team with more character on their defensive line than boston, but goddamnit, when you play big on D, sometimes you lose big on D. and that sucks.
oh well. atleast they FINALLY scored on a pp.
and its not over yet. come home and win damnit.

Two Words. Max Pacioretty.
Campbell wouldnt have been able to review the series anyway because his son, Gregory Campbell plays on the Bruins, conflict of interest.
Burrows exploited Charas slow foot speed, Thomas was aggressive, paid for it.
I cant see Vancouver not splitting in Boston, come home leading 3-1

can't imagine all bullshit that will go on w. shanahan handling the suspensions...I don't even think it's a terrible move but the media will have a field day...how many of those guys has he played with etc....

I hear you, and that was always my fear to with all the talk of getting a team back. We just sold out all of our season tickets in 17 minutes (well, they say 17 minutes, but I had friends that logged onto the site as soon as they went for sale and still didn't get in).
I have no doubt they'll sell out every game for the next 5 years. But once the novelty wears off, we'll see what happens. This city has changed a lot in the last 16 years since we lost the Jets. I think/hope they interest will stick.
Now if they could only come up with a damn name already.

feels like everyone predicted it was gonna go to 7. I can't fucking wait to see if we have what it takes to finally crack the home-r streak thats going on. Seeing Luongo cry after getting taken out again today was awesome. Especially after it was due to a goal that he said "he'd could make the save for, unlike the overly aggressive Tim Thomas".
Maybe if he came out of the paint a little more, he'd leave less room above that glove that seems too heavy for him.

That stuff was just overblown by the media....Louie was just comparing the two styles, and it takes one to know one. Louie used to do the exact same thing all the time, coming far out, getting caught when the puck comes off the end boards. I don't think it affected Louie's play last night, that was just BAD Louie who showed up. We've seen it before.....Hopefully GOOD Louie will show on Wed...

I agree with you on the "overblown"-ness of the comments though. I didn't see it as some sort of shit talking about thomas or anything, just a explaination of differing styles. Thomas has a way of shrinking the net really well with the way he comes out of the paint, and Luongo is more reliable when dealing with stuff coming from behind the net.
but it was kinda funny how badly he got blown out after saying anything at all.
get it? ...blown out? ...tires?

I haven't heard anyone say anything good about Marchand despite him being the hometown "hero". People say he's a dick and plays dirty, but that just makes me like him more. Really hope I can make the parade.

yeah...the canucks players weren't their best....no one really stepped it up in this series, other than, believe it or not...louie....I had thought if they called penalties the canucks would kill them...nope. Couldn't buy a power play goal......
boston stepped up....played better....good to see them win the cup in alot of ways, boston's done their fair share of 'choking' too in years past, so it's good to see them buck it....hopefully the canucks will soon too....

Boston deserved the cup, I knew after the first goal it was over, and after the second one there was no chance. No ones getting 3 goals past timmy.
Silly vancouver fans, destroying their own city. Although I'm sure Toronto would get trashed in the same scenario. Plus you guys have more flocking homeless poeple and heroin addicts in your streets, I bet most of that riot shit wasn't even fans just people looking to start/steal shit.

If Pominville and Vanek werent ripping it up like they are, the Sabres would be even worse. This is simply a GM spending way too much money on unproven players. Leino had one sick playoff run with Philly, one of the best offensive teams in the league, and Ehrhoff had a lot of help from the best Powerplay in the league with Vancouver. Remember when Ehrhoff was a healthy scratch in SJ? Ehrhoff should be better though, im surprised hes doing so poorly. Miller is the biggest surprise though, seems he is always pissed off, looking for an excuse, im sure that Lucic hit didn't help much.
Im glad the Oilers are back down to reality, 4 or 5 years and they will be making the playoffs, they need D though, trade Hemsky for some Defence and they'll be in better shape
Jagr, Simmonds, Read and Giroux, these guys are killing it for Philly. Losing Richards, Carter and now Pronger seems to not have phased them especially with Giroux being the best player in the league.
Canucks only hope is if Boston is ousted early in the playoffs, I could see the Rangers or Philly beating them in a 7 game series. I always think back to the Tampa/Boston series, the Canucks would have beat Tampa, not nearly as physical a team as Boston.
Canucks cant beat Boston in a 7 game series. Sure we can take some games off them but more often then not, especially in the playoffs, the refs are going to put away their whistles, and we have to score on the PP against them. That game last weekend though was the best in a long time for sure.
Montreal is in absolute shambles, Gauthier is gone at the end of this season, they won't make the playoffs.
This trade deadline, as overhyped as they are, should be a pretty crazy one. Especially with Anaheim looking to pull the trigger on some of their young players like Bobby Ryan.

What are you going to do when Luongo shits the bed in the playoffs like he does every year?
-
realistically he will be a back up in the playoffs
-
didnt we score like 8 goals in the 7 games in the finals? and luongo had two shutouts? he did blow in the other games but if you are scoring just over a goal a game then it doesnt matter too much what the goalie does. we need to stay healthy more than anything, deepest nhl team but if even a couple guys get injured we are fucked, have nobody on the farm.
-

The Canucks will be n the mix, but they can be a fragile bunch at times...I bet they hang onto Schneider this year for the playoffs, then get nothing for him when he bounces....

I'm stoked the Wings get to host next years winter classic. I'm torn on the location though. I live and work in the city of Detroit, so I think it should be here. The city certainly needs the money, but I can see the appeal to doing it at michigan stadium and packing in over 112,000 people for a hockey game is going to be pretty fucking rad.

lets star the story with markov
(http://cdn.nhl.com/canadiens/bc/images/contentdelta/_static/webupload/news/5926_3.jpg)
this dude cost money. he was the quarterback during power play. he's efective but his knee is fucking jacke'd up.
seson 2009-2010
markov is hurt so they need a new "quarterback" in power play who do they use ?
(http://hockeyindependent.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/121865-marc-andre-bergeron.jpg)
this dude, Marc-Andr? Bergeron. suck at defensive, cheap & skates like he got a broom stick up his ass.
but he got a fucking killer shot and knew how to use it. resulting in the habs having one the best power play of the league that year.
season 2010-2011
Bergeron is traded away because the habs are putting they're money on markov to be the blue line superstar.
maybe 5 game or so in the season markov shit his knee, again.
the habs are in a pickle but manage to get a hold of this guy. james wisniewski.

he's just an over priced version of bergeron.
season 2011-2012
james wisniewski is traded away to make room for Markov triumphant return. guess what ? he blew up his knee AGAIN! that dude is done for.
habs PP is down the fucking shitter. they are last of the league. who they decide to bring in ?

Canucks need to trade Ballard, free up some cap and trade for a David Clarckson or Travis Moen type player. Always wanted Moen on our team he would be a beast Salo has begun skating on his own, 2 consecutive days, but you never know with him, could be out another month.

I'm a bruins fan, so I don't have an allegiances to the Pens (aside from the one friend I have from pit thats a diehard fan)
but he always just struck me as one of those gifted players that everyone should admire for his talent, kinda like Malkin
it'll be a really sad story if he's forced into an early retirement.
how funny was the allstar draft last night? tough crowd.

Yeah I don't get it. A lot of people peg him as a primadonna, but it's whatever. Like I think Ovechkin's a mongoloid but I still think he's fun as hell to watch play hockey.

With the Trade Deadline on Monday, thought I'd give this a bump
Carter went to LA, Richards him and Gagne are now reunited, if they can mesh they'll be scary.
Columbus has been making some awful trades imo. Sounds like they'll get a solid return for Nash. Rangers? Kings? Sharks?
Vancouver is said to be targeting Steve Ott. I think he'd be a perfect fit, trade Raymond away for him straight up

Fuck forgot how bad Laichs been, all the caps of the caps have been playing like shit with the exception of Perrault and Johanssen, Chimera had a good start but that dried up pretty quick
I wouldnt go as far as to say the Caps time to win the cup are done, they are no where near as old as the Sharks, they need Green and Backstrom to be back 100% and need some goaltending from Vokoun or Neuvirth or Holtby or whoever the hell starts now

The Leafs are blowing it, it's really sad to watch. Wilson needs to be gone, Francois Allaire needs to be gone, and Burke should be busy soon, we need a goalie and a defensemen and a number 1 centre. And I hope they don't trade Grabovski, but if they do, they better get something good because teams are just getting robbed so far.
In trade news:
New Jersey gets Marek Zidlicky for Kurtis Foster, Nick Palmieri, Stephane Veilleux, a second round pick in 2012 and a conditional third round draft pick in 2013 go to Minnesota. Holy overpayment.
-
Wow that is an overpayment, I thought it was just Foster for Marek straight up, he can pot some goals but it having a shitty season with Minnesota this year
Leaf fans seem entitled to trading for any player in the league for a combination of Schenn and Kadri. I think Burke could have gotten JVR, if he had traded earlier before Philly stocked up on D, I know JVR's not a centre. Throw Grabovski on the top line, its not like Kulemin Mcaarthur and him are having a sick year or anything, last year yes, this year they suck. They have enough good D, Liles is good and Gardiner will be very good in 3-4 years.
They will finish 9th again

Well he wasn't exactly the solution either. after seeing that 24/7 last year, I could believe how un-inspiring he came off as a coach. Granted he was dealing with some lazy players, but to me, it didn't seem like he was gonna be the guy to get them to turn it around they way they should be able to. He's a better fit for the ducks, because they don't need the same kind of coach that the Caps do at this point. They (caps) need someone who's gonna throw a chair at Semin's locker and try to get that team actually excited to play hockey. And if the key players aren't going to respond, they need someone who's not going to be afraid to bench, or get rid of, the bad apples, no matter how big their contracts are or how many seats they fill.
Boudreau might be a good strategist, but that ain't worth dick without a well disciplined team.
Their problem is players, but thats sometimes fixable with the right coach...and while I don't think hunter is the right guy for that....neither was porky.

It's a good thing I cheer for the Toronto Maple Leafs. They're a real winner of a hockey team with solid goaltending and will definitely make the playoffs this year, as they have nearly every year in the last decade.
-
I hated the leafs for so long but prior to this year I started easing up on them...now that they have a couple players that are panning out, I"m going back to hating them....still don't hate 'em more than the two teams in Alberta....which I now hate equally....
Good to see the Leafs suck bad enough to miss the play offs and good enough to not get a decent draft pick....looking forward to see them plug the holes up with have nots.....how many canadian teams fall into this category....it's a vicious circle....
Not sure why I don't hate the Habs...

I sure did not. That fuckwad behind the Leafs bench needs to go, it shouldn't matter if Burke is friends with him or not. And trades better happen tomorrow, the deadline usually sucks though.

What's to hate about the Oilers? Horcoff's kind of a piece of shit but it's pretty hard to hate any of their young guns and everyone else is pretty anonymous. I'm also kind of surprised you don't hate the Habs, fuck every part of that team besides Subban and Price.
The Flames have been pissing me off, but that's nothing new. It's gotten to the point where I figure we've got a shot in close games, but any time we go 2-3 goals up I know they're bound to choke. I'm still hopeful we can snag 7th or 8th if we go on a good run, but then even if we make it we're just going to bomb out in the first round. It's really hard to get excited about this team, but at least the young nobodies we've been calling on have been doing the job.

Leafs just traded Keith Aulie for Carter Ashton (Tampa Bay). Minor trade, but it's good they are stocking up on a forward.

I still have faith in Ron Wilson... I mean if they don't make the playoffs he should definatly be fired, but I'm giving him until then.
Our biggest problem is goaltending by far. In retrospective analysis they should have never traded Giguere. His numbers are great now as a backup and Riemer could have used some veteran influence instead of this mess of two #1 goalies (or two #2 goalies depending how you look at it) between Gustavson and Riemer.
Riemer needs to prove his worth, last year he had no pressure on him since they were basically already out of the playoffs. This year they had a good chance and now they are blowing it and making me loose 20$ to my brother.

Well fuck.
See you later Cody
Hoping Kassian can pan out, although in the long run, bad deal

I agree, Burke definately made a mistake analyzing the goaltending situation. Hell, I wouldn't have even minded Khabibulin for the right price. I just think it's time for a fresh face behind that bench, Eakins has done a hell of a great job with the Marlies this season.
-
Vancouvers top two centers aren't going anywhere, so I think the deal makes sense...It sucks seeing him go because at this point in time he's the best player in the deal, but getting pahlsson who's an experienced checker, I think the Canucks got better....
-
stoked to see the sabres address a need, kassian has alot of potential.
-
I'm hopeful it will work out, but if kassian isn't good enough to play with the sabres, how is he good enough to play on the canucks? I dunno shit about him though. Still bummed from the shitty loss to dallas.
-
I've been saying for awhile the Canucks need a big crazy winger...I guess the scouting staff really liked those two players...I thought they could have waited until the off season to ditch him. Pretty sur the Canucks hated Cody's camp from the get go.. It sounds dumb but I think coach V would way rather have Pahlson around than Cody.
The one I wanna see is what Vancouver does in the off season with our goalies...? I'd be so stoked to see Nonis reenact the Louie deal in TO.
-
I was in shock when I got the news. Im still very torn about it and I'm sure most fans will feel this way until we start to see some good play from Kassian. I agree jsoy Canucks have needed a big winger for the longest time, Backes was always on the radar, clearly hes not going anywhere.
The most painful thing about the trade is it was hard to not like this kid, everyone was so down on him after he was drafted, AV with those comments about him being "medically cleared" to play, even though he had a herniated disk in his back. He had a rough start here. When he came up, everyone wanted him to do well, and when he started playing well, I was so stoked. It wasnt that he was just a third line Center who happened to chip in some goals. He scored BIG goals. Boston game winner, Chicago tying goal, SJ.
I don't think a team has ever traded a Calder Candidate mid season. Hodgson will be a future captain in Buffalo if Meyers is not.
Im still pretty bummed on the trade but it makes a lot of sense. Kesler and Hank aren't going anywhere and Cody just didn't fit on the wing. Its just a lose lose situation this Kassian has so much pressure on him now with huge shoes to fill.
Just really really hoping Kassian doesnt turn out like Bernier. Highly touted, drafted in the top 20, both 6'3 both 220 lbs. Bernier started out with some scraps and hits but fell off so hard.
-
kassian has lots of potential, he was lost in a sea of wingers in buffalo, and was called up due ot need and put into a situation he wasnot ready for yet
i think this is a very good trade for both parties
the sabres are a much better team than their record shows, but again, you are only as good as your record shows.
-
Vancouver got that big winger they needed, Sabres got a desperately needed centre. Vancouver also made a solid move on picking up Sami Pahlsson, guy`s such as fast and good shutdown centre.
Oh and Chris Tanev is my cousin. His parents came over just last week.

Dallas Eakins, The Marlies coach is doing great, the Marlies are one of the best teams in the AHL, there is also assistant coach Scott Gordon, and Burke's old buddy from Anaheim, Randy Carlyle. All would be better options then Wilson. They lost tonight due to Wilson's poor ass line matching. Lets put the Brown-Steckel-Armstrong line against the Kane line, good fucking idea.....
First cousins? Tanev is the shit, works so hard. Also so awkward its funny in interviews.
Third or fourth cousins, and his parents told me that as well. He's a quiet guy who doesn't really say much, and he's all hell of a player though. I'm getting a bunch of autographed stuff from him soon too.
-
There's space for him too....Salo will retire....hopefully Ballard will be gone...he's really the best up and coming d man we got...
No way the leafs should bring in Carlyle which is all the reason they will..
-
Yeah Tanev is fucking awesome. Sort of came out of nowhere last year. Everyone was hyped on Kevin Connaughton and Tanev sort of flew under the radar into our bottom pairing.
Ballards gone in the summer, Schneider too, which I'm very excited but also bummed about, were going to get some amazing stuff back for Cory
-
Please send Schneider to the Leafs, we need all the help we could get and Gustavsson is a UFA. However, I think Eddie Lack is ready, he's a great prospect and I've heard nothing but great things from him from Tanev's parents.
-
Outside of Kessel. The leafs dont really have any prospects I'd really want. Schenn and Kadri are so overrated by leaf fans. Colbourne (sp?) seems legit but I doubt Toronto would part with him. It would be a tough sell to pry anyone from Burke, even it it was for Schneider.
Schneider is going to Tampa. Stevie Y has 2 1st and something like 3 2nds stockpiled
You heard it hear first
-
There's a bunch of rumours goin around that part of the reason hodgson was traded was because him and tanev were so tight and tanev's heavy coke use was spreading to cody and so his agent and family requested a trade to basically save his life.
-
Went to the game last night.....people seemed pretty stoked on Kassian....him playing w. Lapierre looked good. First time in awhile where you saw more than one hit in a shift for a line.
-
The Toronto Maple Leafs' slide out of a playoff position has cost head coach Ron Wilson his job. The club let Wilson go on Friday evening, and have replaced him with former Anaheim Ducks coach Randy Carlyle.
Thank god.
-
Wicked....instead of plummeting further they can now clinch 9th....
-
Very stoked on Kassian after tonight, MAG not as much. The one benefit is Gragnani is still decently young and he has more upside than downside. He seems like he'll get caught up ice a lot though because of pinches.
-
can we at least acknowledge the sabres lighting up the canucks on saturday night, the yhave gone from last in the east 3 weeks ago to two points ou tof 8th.
-
That wasnt the sabres.....that was Bad Louie.....
-
that might make sense if the canucks ended up winning, or coming close, but thats not the case
-
They were 1 goal down with 2 minutes to go, I'd say thats coming close, especially after giving up 3 goals something like 7 minutes in.
I do credit the sabres though, their bums (Leino, Boyes) showed up for one game, usually though, thats not the case.
-
coming close is going to a shoot out
-
i was just really hyped that buffalo showed up on saturday night, the team was soo godo on paper to start the season and we have just had such a let down of a year, leno especially.
the canucks are obviously a pretty amazing and well rounded team, i am stoked tha tmy team had a godo game against them on the cbc.
-
that might make sense if the canucks ended up winning, or coming close, but thats not the case
Or if the sabres had a history of scoring goals and the Canucks goalie didn't have a history of letting in 3 goals at a time.....
Bad louie strikes again....good Louie lets one bad goal early on then fights back....bad Louie lets in 3 in the first five minutes.....
-
I was nervous as fuck before the Jets game tonight. Last game in an eight-game home stand with about five teams in the running for eighth spot in the East. Buffalo's been on a bit of a tear as of late, but the boys pulled out the win! Big third period. Blake Wheeler is playing like a fucking All-Star.
*Edit
I was absolutely pumped to get a ticket to the Jets and Florida game last Thursday. It's the only game I'll see live all season and it was a 7-0 demolition. The crowd here is fucking crazy.
-
Im really pulling for the Jets to make the playoffs, Im thinking they will, the east is tough, playoff fringe teams are super close
Leafs clinch 9th, Jets and Caps make it. Don't really see the Islanders making the playoffs as sick as Tavares is
-
Leafs sign Grabovski to a 5 year, $27.5 million contract extension. I'm really happy, Grabovski is a hell of a player that the Leafs need, he takes the pressure off Lupul and Kessel, and the 3rd best player on the team. He loves the city, the team, and we are the place that gave him a chance to play and has been an amazing player for us. He's all heart, energetic, hard-working and smart. He would have made $6 million plus easily on the open market. I'm happy he's going to be back.
-
Leafs overpaid, I think its pretty unanimous amongst writers and fans.
That being said, I think Grabovskis one of the best players on the team, how he recovered from that Chara then scored later in the game is a testament to that
Zdeno Chara hits Mikhail Grabovski from behind Twice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iJpcdRQr7Q#)
But a serious overpayment, and he has a limited NTC, pretty sure this will bite them in the ass down the line, hes too streaky a player

But a serious overpayment, and he has a limited NTC, pretty sure this will bite them in the ass down the line, hes too streaky a player
Overpayment? Sure, but 90% of the league is overpaid. The market has changed, thus why Kessel makes $5.4 million and Lupul $4.25 Grabovski is getting less than market value, and he's overpaid slightly, by about $500 000 or so, but Grabovski is the least of the Leafs concerns. it's what they are going to do with their other overpaid players (Connolly, Armstrong, Lombardi, and Komisarek), and what to do with their goaltending. At least Connolly and Armstrong have a year left, but no doubt in my mind Burke will move one of the four in the off season.
Grabovski would probably have been the best UFA centre available next to Olli Jokinen. This year's free agency period for centres is weak. Might as well overpay him by $500 000, or risk losing him and trying to fill that spot in. He's the best centre they got, you have to do what you have to do to keep him.
-
Yea he had the leafs up against the wall, they need him and he knows it. Still a terrible deal for the leafs. He now makes a million less than the sedin twins. Plus you can't justify a shitty contract with other shitty contracts. Otherwise you're just perpetuating that shit.

At least he scored tonight in a close game. You can't compared a recently signed contract to a contract signed years ago. The market has changed. The salary cap is going up year by years and player salaries are going up and they're demanding more. Grabovski got less than market value. I'm not trying to justify his contract with the four I mentioned, I mentioned that the Leafs have to be and are more concerned with those four than Grabovski. Why? because they are not that good, they're overpaid. Grabovski is overpaid by $500 000, it helps that the cap is going up and most of those four will be gone.

No no, no swapping out, just draft 13-14 players and go to it

1 Assist = 1 point

Who will win the presidents trophy?
-
Blues I think. Their goaltending is regular, 15 shutouts!?
Looking like we'll play the Kings, have to be wary with these guys. Even though they havent showed it all year and sit something like 29th in scoring, they have some of the sketchiest names on that team. Kopitar, Richards, Brown, Carter, Doughty, I still can't believe we beat them 2 years ago, thought we were goners.

they need ovi to really breakout, he seems like he's at crossraods in his career, this might have been a transition year. i can see him turning it up for the playoffs if they get in, hes usually burnt out by the time they have made the first seed.

Carlyle hasn't been coach long enough to fully implement his strategies, but the Leafs have been mailing it in since February so it doesn't really matter. Burke and Nonis are going to be busy as fuck this off-season, and for good reason.

The pessimist in me sees the Canucks losing in the first round. Sure, we are "deep" but depth doesn't equate to anything if you cant score. Booth Kesler and Burrows have zero points in 7 games, thats scary. Our powerplay is an absolute disaster too, thats where we desperately miss Ehrhoff.
Gragnani looked bad against the Kings and Avs last few nights, made me wish we had Ballard back, and when you're wishing to have Ballard in your lineup you're in trouble

Win - 2 points
Shutout - 1 point

Leafs are being the Sabres again, and I'm happy that Kessel has 81 points on the season thus far, could have had possibly 90ish if Lupul didn't get injured.

Just select 1 player. Reminder that you need 7 Forwards 3 Defence and 1 Goalie
As I said earlier, you can wait until Saturdays games are done, or if you want to draft Malkin Gaborik Sedin etc because their teams are already in the playoffs, go ahead.
First pick is Beeda
dino conflict you draft 10th in round 1 and 1st in round 2, so we go down the draft order, then back up, you have two picks back to back
Happy Drafting, fuckers
Damn I seem to be at the bottom of every draft I do. its cool though. now i just got to remember to pick players with my brain and not my heart.
-
Its not a bad spot at all, draft first and you get 1-20 last you get 10-11, could snag some really good players
-
sabres were close, but soo far
-
Beeda its your pick, the teams are locked, its just 1 or 2 places that could shuffle in the bottom of each conference
-
watched the LV Wranglers sweep the Utah Grizz last night.
-
Bump.....I like the idea of a draft, but i think phoenix has a better chance of taking the cup than we do making it through....if this fails lets just pick our players and post them, no draft.
-
gotta try to watch that philly vs pitt game today, should be nuts. I hope it's on one of the channels here.
patiently waiting for my 1st pick. paging Dr. Beeda
-
Once the games are over tonight we need to go hard on drafting.
As I said before I have no problem skipping someones pick if they take too long.
Their pick will then get added on to the end of the draft.
-
it's gonna be me vs. you...I take half the canucks...you take the other half....
-
K lets get it rolling, to be realistic theres no way people will be able to keep up with all the pics, wont get it done in time
Since no ones drafted yet lets go
6 FWD
2 D
1 Goalie
Beeda you're up
-
Beeda youre going to be skipped tonight at midnight
(http://gifs.gifbin.com/112011/1322675369_hockey_fight.gif)
-
I assume Beeda and Choad are both on the east coast, whoever opens this thread first gets first crack at first pick
We need to get it moving once one of these guys pick, need to finish by wednesday
-
speed it up jerks
-
Round 1:
Sydney Crosby - Pitt
-
Nick then J..Soy
Sorry Beeda, gave you more than enough time, your pick will be added on to the end of the draft.

sorry dudes, i hope i didnt fuck up the draft, i didnt realize what was really going on. just kick me out of th edraft, im a kook.
-
Goin to work...when I get home I'm pickin a sedin....
-
I'm really not seeing this thing getting wrapped up by wednesday at this point haha.
-
I'm really not seeing this thing getting wrapped up by wednesday at this point haha.
Thought this might happen, we'll do our best and get as many picks as we can. I think we can get at least 10-20 picks in, what we can try and do is everyone submit a list of 60 players, the top 60 that they want, I'll sort through the lists pick by pick and assemble peoples team that way.
So example Choad would pick
Crosby
Malkin
H. Sedin
Fleury
Gaborik
example I would pick
Crosby
H. Sedin
Malkin
D. Sedin
etc
So those players are gone for whoever is next, the only problem with this is your drafting sometimes changes based on who other people take.
If one person doesnt do it, it wont work. Which is why I don't think it will.
Basically people who wanted to be in this pool need to stay on top of the thread, I'm fortunate enough to work in an environment that I can have Slap open at pretty much any time so I check it constantly, waiting until midnight for every pick is just too much.
When you check this thread, write down a list of 20-30 players in the order you would want them. And we'll try and do it that way
-
I am also doing the playoff challenge on ESPN. Basically you have a $100 bucks to draft a team and each player has a dollar value. So basically any one can do it on their own time and we can make a group to be competitive and shit. Just an option that doesnt envolve a draft, just people getting their own shit done.
link: http://games.espn.go.com/playoff-hockey-challenge/en/ (http://games.espn.go.com/playoff-hockey-challenge/en/)
But to keep the hope alive for this draft here are some players I wouldnt mind having in an order of importance:
Claude Giroux
James Neal
Brad Richards
Datsyuk
Spezza
Erik Karlsson
Backes
Kesler
Letang
Alfredsson
Bieksa
Gaborik
Weber
Fleury
Luongo
Marleau
Hartnell
P Kane
Pietrangelo
Edler
Read
Staal PIT
Zidlicky
Halak
Elliot
Orlov
Letang
Jackman
Leddy
Carlson
I hope there are enough players to get through a few rounds here. More power to ya frisco
Also Im going to game two in LA. Let me know if anyone is gonna make. Go Canucks
-
thanks dude, hopefully we can get a few more lists like this from everyone because I really don't see the draft working at this point, were 2 days in and have 1 pick
-
Well, we tried
-
Uh....I'm taking H.Sedin....seriously....Its lame but I think if anyone's interested...just pick your players no draft...keep track of your own shit... Bragging rights....
-
We should just pick one guy and ride em dirty.
Naw I'll make a list later.I call official dibs(no comebacks) on henrik sedin though.also I use "code of the internet" to enjoy the option of subverting any pick I want and changing any and all picks during the playoffs at any time.
-
I still think it could work if everyone makes a list of 60 players, its just up to everyone to actually draft your players. Believe me I would draft your teams for you bastards :-*
-
60 players this gonna take me all night!
-
For those who want in on the espn thing Ive set up a group. its free and it took me about half hour to pick my team. too easy and you can pick who ever you want in the playoffs.

I signed up , I'll make my team when I have a chance later today, I can also post a list of 60 if we are going that route.
EDIT: that was actually really easy, it took me 5 minutes, here's my team:
EDIT2: Maybe keep our teams secret until they are locked in and started, makes it more fun.
-
So wait... is this not happening now?
Its all dependent on everyone else, I can't pick everyones team for them.
Everyone either start drafting "Paging Nick" or everyone submit a list of 60 players and I'll filter through them in the order our draft is.
-
I'll pick Malkin, and already got a fantasy team set up on ESPN.
-
Choad - Crosby
Nick - Malkin
J Soy - H. Sedin

Yuck that was just a bad game all around. Lou was our only good player.
I love how cocky the Kings and their fans are, a tweet from the Kings twitter last night
"To everyone in Canada outside of BC, you're welcome"
They've won 1 game. Canucks nation is in a fucking panic right now. That was the first game 1 we have lost in 8 series.
I will say though if Mike Richards plays like that the whole series we're in trouble. 3 points, hitting like a mad man, and getting Kesler off his game. Quick is a Vezina candidate for a reason too.

nashville is a really good team, and hockey seems to b ea legit sport down there, i can dig that.

'Twas the night before playoffs, and all through Vancouver
slept overconfident fans unaware their team would be losers.
The skates were all hung in the lockers with care,
awaiting the players that soon would be there.
Luongo was nestled, all snug in his bed
while nightmares of Mike Richards appeared in his head.
Carter rushing forward, King with him on the attack
As Lou braces for position, then falls on his back.
As that first of many, many pucks whistled by
Luongo rolled over, with tears in his eyes
When out of nowhere, his cellphone did ring
and he woke to the voice of his teammate, Henrik Sedin.
"Lou, I'm afraid... and feel a little bit sick,
I'm afraid I can't get one past top goalie Jonathan Quick..."
Luongo interrupted, and was a little bit stern,
"I can't help you there, I've my own concerns!"
When he got back in bed, and tried oh so hard to sleep,
He remembered Kopitar, and Williams, and started to weep.
And Doughty! And Mitchell! And Brown, and Stoll!
He shuddered at visions of goal after goal.
He knew it right then, that his team would fall,
and that once they'd bested Vancouver, the Kings would take all.
... Meanwhile across town, the Kings slept just fine,
each with only one vision, "The cup will be mine!"
:D

whats up with that LA kings tweet, frisco? like what, is the rest of the nation supposed to be shitting on Vancouver now? fuck that, i've had love for the 'nucks since the Bure days

Canucks have been the must hated team in the league for a while. I hate many canuck "fans" the riots last year bringing out the worst. And I dont want to hear that shit about anarchists or bridge and tunnel peeps who arent fans. Canuck fans have this entitlement that makes me so angry. We have a 3 year window to win the cup, last year was one, next year is a stretch.
Im really hoping we bring a better effort tomorrow night, it is a must win.
I can understand Bitz getting two games, but Weber getting none is fucking regular. Shanahan absolutely shit the bed on that one and he knows it. Zetterbergs helmet was cracked, the game was over and he gets a 2,500$ fine? What the fuck? Thats literally what he makes in one shift
-
A stadium of fans chanting "bullshit" after that Bitz hit is enough for me to re-up on my Canucks hate for the next few years.

I try to have unbias opinion being a Wings fan, but 2,500 isnt shit. I could afford that fine. Gary Bettman was in the stands and the refs were calling everything possible. And in a league that is try to focus on head shots and suspend accordingly, this is just insane. If Wayne Simmonds would have done that to Crosby, he'd be banned from ever putting on a pair of skates.
-
2,500 is the max fine you can give someone. and they arent gonna suspend a star in the playoffs for that anyways, it wasnt that crazy

Joe Pavelski vs Keith Ballard Jan 21, 2012 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSwfLIEfyTA#ws)
-
Canucks fans are the worst. They fucking boo every call against them, regardless of whether it was justified. They booed saku koivu in a shootout in the 80th game of the year. They(we) come off as uneducated when they boo that bitz hit, its embarassing and stupid.also dudes calling into radio shows during the regular season, saying we should trade raymond for rick nash.
Also the general apathy at the rink is pathetic. If you can't get excited for a repeat presidents trophy team, makes me wonder how many fans will simply lose interest if the canucks miss the playoffs a few years in a row.
-
Weber makes $7.5 million this season, $2500 is nothing to him. This Panthers and Devils series is going to fucking blow.
-
The amount of the fine means nothing. The fine itself is just there so the league can say "watch your step." Weber's under the microscope now, and if he fucks up again THEN there will be discipline.
-
pens/flyers game 2: A Good-Ass Game Of Hockey.
-
I think shanny felt that weber's hit wasn't dangerous, just chicken shit, and apparently chicken shit isn't a problem...
The Canucks are my team, and that whole 'Canada's most hated team' is some media bullshit, but I get why people may not like them. The twins are hard to like, Kesler and Burrows dive like soccer players, and Louie is Louie..... Like for team Canada.....Canadians would grudgingly take Burrows for the 4th line, and Louie as a back up.
Enough about the nucks.....check out those Pens.....
-
GIROUX.
-
Im on pace to make 300$
Everyone, I mean Everyone picked Pens in my pool, no one picked a single Flyer except me.
I have Giroux, Jagr, Hartnell and Timmonen also picked up Parise and Elias and Timmy Thomas
It's still early in all these series but its a good start
These Canucks are a real heartbreaking team to watch. Back to back presidents trophies, only to play like this in the playoffs.
Richards, Brown and Quick are playing way too good for us to get back in this series. If we split in LA I will be surprised.
Hopefully this loss tonight will be humbling to Canucks Nation. We can get away from being so fucking arrogant, seriously read a Canucks message board. There are some absolutely delusional fans
-
Elias first goal. What the hell did the Panthers defensemen thinking?
-
Vancouver lost again, oh boy...............
-
i made my picks while high and picked daniel instead of henrik i guess
-
Really happy that Senators took the last game. I wonder how many shots on goal Erik Karlsson got?
-
Hagelin's headshot on Alfredsson, Carkner kicking the shit out of Boyle, Dubinsky getting ejected and smashing the Gatorade cooler, Phillips shoulder to the head of Callahan, Galiardi shoulder to the head of McDonald, Burns shoulder to the head of Nichol, Sobotka beating the shit out of Moore and breaking his nose, Roman Polak and Justin Braun and Barrett Jackman as well, and Shaw shoulder to the head on Smith.
Fucking awesome night.
-
Well, time to wave goodbye to the Pens. They don't look like they want it at all right now.

The Flyers/pens game was the most entertaining game ive seen all year.

The Flyers/pens game was the most entertaining game ive seen all year.
The past three games were horrible. Seriously, this last game must have been the 2nd worst game I've seen in about 3 years. Hair pulling was unintentional because Hartnell has a faggot ginger fro that goes over his shoulders, but everything else was a disappointment. Yeah, I think Pens need some regrouping.
-
the 3 games have been great, sounds like your just a little salty that hartnell and the boys have been stuntin on the pens

Looks like I'm going to be skating a bit more.....f'n nucks....come on....if we don't score on the power play....we lose. We're like 2 for 40 or some dumb shit.....

Wow Edler was an All-Star this year? Did that actually happen?
I was so stoked on the Flyers Pens game, honestly that kind of raw scoring ability throughout the lineup is something the Canucks desperately lack. Not to mention sick rookies. Phillys team is unreal, Coutourier, Schenn and Read. Canucks have who? Kassian? Schroeder? This is obviously me venting after a crushing loss but really I'm so sick of the way this team plays. Booth had a fucking awful playoffs, he looked so promising this regular season with some actual signs of being a "power" forward, although undersized. You think we would change our cycle game? You think we would fucking go after Brown instead of bear hugging him for nearly decapitating our captain? No. We sit back, make regular dump-ins and lose the game.
This is going to be a big off season. Im honestly in favour of trading Lou if we can, I can't imagine the thought of losing Schneider just to see him progress and Lou regress with our aging team. Schneider had a solid game, he wasn't tested as much as Quick but was dependable and had zero chance on the goal against.
We are a regular season team. And it helps that we play in the easiest division in sports. I want there to be a conference re alignment, maybe the Canucks can be tested and come together as a unit. So are we going to "flip the switch" now? Kesler looks like Ovechkin of last years playoffs, cruise in on the wing, load up a wrist shot from 30 feet out and either rifle it into shinpads or miss the net, those shots were going in against Nashville last year, and he was actually playing with some sandpaper, not flopping everywhere.
I feel sick.

I enjoyed that rant. I'm not a Canucks fan at all, but it was painful watching them. You summed it up pretty nicely. I hope Gregor Robertson bet something ridiculous with LA's mayor. Like the mayor whose team loses has to publicly give fellatio to the other dude. I'm sorry but Vancouver's mayor is a cocky son of a bitch when it comes to his city and even more cocky when it comes to his sports teams.

I watched the end of that canucks game last night. 3 in a row for the kings and flyers haha shit's getting crazy.
Is it just me or do all the canucks players whine to the refs after EVERY SINGLE CALL. Your argument gets a bit watered down when you cry wolf.
Fuck the canucks haha, fuck the sens too I want all canadian teams to loose since I'm a bitter leafs fan.
I wanted the pens to go far, but glad it's the flyers who are taking it from them, those were the 2 teams I wanted to see win.

No argument here, Canucks fans are very cocky
Shaw got 3 games, Hagelin got 3 games. Weber got..a fine? Wait that really happened? Fuck still can't believe that, Shanahans afraid to suspend any stars and just saves the discipline for the role guys. Watch Neal not get anything
-
This is completely fucked. No call from the officials? Quenneville's reaction speaks for everyone. Torres is such a piece of shit. Needless to say, he's suspended now.

Pens/Flyers game 3 was just embarrassing for the Penguins. Played like shit. Acted like shit. Neal and Asham get suspended. The only two positive things were Letang beating the shit out of Timonen and Crosby batting Giroux's glove away.
-
can't wait to watch the games tonight. as for all of this suspending and head shot shit being in the headlines, it boggles my mind that hockey has come to this. i don't condone complete goonery but growing up watching hockey in the 90's, you wouldn't really be too blown away by some of the hits that people are getting banned for these days. generally a fight would just ensue after a gnarly hit and that was that.

My math doesn't really agree with that.
But the Pens comeback is underway and I'm psyched I finally got to see a playoff win.

in the first 4 games there was 45 goals. 100 is a bit of an exaggeration but 75 is possible.

Fuck why couldnt the Canucks win last night been game 3 instead of game 4. I have little faith, even after a solid showing like that
finally off my ipad, so i'm weighing in....
Honestly, it's good to see the Canucks win, but if LA keeps playing this way, there's no way the Canucks can make it through. LA didn't lose their composure, Vancouver got a couple lucky bounces and their power play came through. It was sick to see the magic again...it's been awhile.
LA is just out hustling, they are are first to the puck, winning battles....Short of a total collapse...I just can't see them taking the pedal off the metal. Vancouver just showed up too late, and LA works too hard. The first three games were pathetic, when the going gets tough, the Canucks were diving and complaining. This series is what I thought was going to happen in Nashville last year.
The most interesting part was starting Schneider. No matter what, it's going to be interesting to see what happens in the off season. I think Gillis is good enough to dump Louie. Putting Schneider in ups his trade value too, I hope he doesn't go, but if he does....could be worth something significant on draft day.
Getting kind of tired of hits being more important than wins. I get it, but the Bob Mckenzie counting frames and milliseconds is dumb.
-
Totally agree on the Schneider front. He gives us the best chance to win any night.
I don't know if I could handle trading away Hodgson and Schneider. I don't know what we could get for Schneider that would help us right now, he is probably the most coveted RFA in the league.
I hope we can trade Louie to TB. Honestly just getting his numbers off the books would be nice, sign a solid 2-3 defenceman. Not to mention what we could get in return for him. And theres no way Stevie Y would pass up the opportunity to get Lou.
Going to be a longggg offseason, filled with banter about who to trade and to where.
-
Luongo to Toronto ;D
-
^ that has a nice ring to it too
-
I'd love Louie in TO....no way he'd want to go there though.....Tampa....Stevie Y is a good GM...if they get a goalie out of Vancouver it'll be Schneids....even if we re stuck w. Louie....it's probably time to start putting Eddie Lack into the rotation....Louie has done a lot better this season including the playoffs, but his best days are behind him.
I supported the Hodson trade, he wanted out...but Kessler is playing like a third line center right now.
-
Fuck the Flyers till the end of time, but they outplayed the Penguins.
Hopefully next year Pens get a real goalie.
-
I love him but
Fleury = Steve Mason, but on a good team
Really hoping the Caps and Sens can pull the upsets, looking good for both
Prediction, Canucks win tonight, lose in LA game 6
-
I always thought of Fleury as Louie but in a smaller market. I'm with you on the CAnucks prediction.....Pretty crazy first round. Next one could be a bit of a sleeper as the defensive teams make it through....
-
I haven't been able to watch any of the games for too long because I don't have a TV at my apt., but the Hawks and Coyotes have been having a crazy series.
-
Luongo to Toronto ;D
Considering his age, contract and issues he has, hell no. I'd rather try and move Komisarek, Lombardi, Armstrong and Connolly first before we do anything. June 22nd couldn't get here any faster.
-
I bought a Giroux jersey ;D
-
Pens defense during playoff was shit, wall to wall. Fleury gave up a lot of goals but he's not the sole reason the Flyers were able to score so much. Shit fell apart in front of him game after game.
-
So stoked Vancouver is out. Had they won the Stanley Cup, the rest of Canada would have never heard the end of it. That being said, I thought they had the cup this year as I predicted them and the Rangers in the finals. These playoffs have been too crazy!
-
So happy that the Bruins lost, completely classless by Bruins fans being racist against Joel Ward. Have fun on the golf course!
-
so do we start round 2 now in that espn bracket or what
-
haven't watched a full game for awhile but decided to watch tonights.....great game, I was pulling for Phoenix. Haven't really seen too many holes in the Kings game, Quick looks unstoppable.
-
Can't get behind any teams left. Not even the devils, Parise is sick
Hate the Kings, but I can't see them losing
-
I liked the idea of it being Phoenix and jersey in the finals....if we can't have it...they are the next best thing to no one winning it. I like Jersey....mainly because the are the most offensive team left.....
-
The Kings as a whole look unstoppable. Canucks in 5, Blues in 4, and Coyotes in 5, plus they have the perfect mix of primary scoring (Kopitar, Richards, Carter, Brown, Williams), secondary scoring (Nolan, Penner, King, Stoll), and just good chemistry between each defensemen such as Voynov and Mitchell that helps the puck stay away from the net. And Quick has been lights out. The Kings are really have to mail it in and turn over if they're going to lose in the Finals.
-
No matter what happens, there will be an American captain raising the Cup. That's pretty rad.

About time we dusted this old baby off
Has your team got better/worse this offseason?
The Jackets just got raped by the Rangers, they traded their captain Rick Nash for Dubinsky, Anisimov and Erixon, and a 1st
Been a pretty fucking boring offseason, The Staal and Schenn trades were rad to see, not feeling the Parise and Suter deals. Im thinking Nashville will match the Weber offersheet but they could take the 4 1sts, then flip them to Philly for Couturier or some other young talent
-
we let our teaparty supporting goober Timmy Tommy take a year (pfftt....right, just a year...like youre not gonna retire for goods 3 months in) off, and picked up PK Subban's lil bro as a bLack-up goalie.
Other than that, not many moves made for the Bruins.
I'm not as hopeful this season as I was last.
-
But you guys have Dougie Hamilton to look forward too. Poor Leafs fans. Jeez that deal looks worse and worse every year.
-

OH YEAH! I forgot about Doug.
yeah leafs are fucked, and Nashville is probably gonna be fucked this go around too
I was just thinking the other day, how shitty would that be if they DID delay the season (or shit, outright canceled it due to a strike) for Winnipeg.
You wait so damn long, and spend so much damn money to finally get a team again
and then get fucked over the next season after having such a promising start back as a franchise.
And what the fuck are you gonna do in Winnipeg during the winter? it's like 60 below on a GOOD day there.
-
I think it'll be similar to the NBA last year, shortned season, probably 60-65 games instead of 82.
They can't afford to have another lockout. And neither could my mental well being
-
i just read that rick nash went to the rangers, they gave up quite a bit for him and his cap hit will be big and maybe not woth it when he gets older but with richards, gaborik and nash the rangers will be the team in the east to beat,thats saying alot w the flyers and penguins being in the mix.i am glad i am a blues fan and we play them once maybe twice a year
-
But you guys have Dougie Hamilton to look forward too. Poor Leafs fans. Jeez that deal looks worse and worse every year.
Being a Leaf fan and all, you really have no idea how I tired I am of hearing about the Kessel trade. Leafs got a sniper who can pot 30+ every year (would have hit 40 if Lupul didn't get injured) and they would have been worse off with Seguin and Hamilton. Burke still had two first round picks in 2011, got one for Versteeg and one for Kaberle. Anyhow, McClement was a much needed signing and the JVR trade was a good one, maybe that Nash finally got moved more moves can start happening.

I think Kessel gets too much hate because of that trade. He seems like a classy guy, evidence by that All Star draft. A seriously awkward situation and he comes back and rips it up.
However, I disagree. I think Seguin is better player than Kessel and will continue to get better.
I am feeling the JVR trade for you guys, if he can stay healthy. Schenn was not what Leafs fans hyped him to be, he's a 3-4 defenceman but maybe he'll be sick in Philly
-
Schenn has great character and all much like Armstrong did, but they were both so expensive and just so shitty so they were shown the door. I'm very happy the Leafs they got Jay McClement. They definitely miss Tim Brent, and this guy is the closest thing to him.
Bigger news......
The Nashville Predators announced Tuesday that they have matched the Philadelphia Flyers' 14-year, $110 million offer sheet for defenceman Shea Weber.
The Flyers signed Weber to the offer sheet - which includes $68 million in bonus money in the first six years - last week. In total, Weber will make $14 million in each of the first four years; $12 million in years five and six; $6 million in each of the next four seasons; $3 million in year 11; and $1 million in each of the remaining years.
"The decision to enter into the largest contract in franchise history was made by all parts of the organization, including ownership, hockey operations and business operations," read a team statement issued on Tuesday afternoon.
"As the organization analyzed the overall situation and worked toward a conclusion, the decision boiled down to three questions: Was Shea Weber the individual that this franchise wanted to lead our team, a team that would compete for the Stanley Cup every year, for the next 14 years? Would matching the offer sheet be in the best long-term interest of the team and organization? Would a decision not to match the offer sheet send a negative message to current Predators players and other NHL organizations, a message that the Predators would only go so far to protect its best players and be pushed around by teams with 'deep pockets?' The answer to each of the above questions is clearly yes."
The 26-year-old remained a restricted free agent after failing to come to an agreement with the Predators when his one-year, $7.5 million contract - awarded through arbitration - expired after the season.
The native of Sicamous, BC is coming off back-to-back first team NHL All-Star selections. He finished the 2011-12 season with 19 goals and 49 points. The captain of the Predators has spent seven seasons in Nashville, recording 99 goals and 263 points in 480 career NHL games.
The Predators, who had 104 points last season and finished fourth in the Western Conference, already lost free agent defenceman Ryan Suter to the Minnesota Wild this month.
Speculation was that Weber would have filled the void left by defenceman Chris Pronger, who has been battling concussion problems and could retire. The Flyers also lost defenceman Matt Carle via free agency. He signed a six-year, $33 million deal with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
More to follow.
-
Surprised but also relieved that Poile and Nashville matched. There would have been hell to pay had they not matched and Gillis let Weber just go to Philly.

i was really hoping he would go to philly, i cant see nashville being a serious contender again

It was easy to like that guy while Louie was digging himself into a pit, but now I say fuck em....what a dummy. He's acting like he's in Canada where people give two shits about hockey players and what they say.
I think Kessel is a better fit for the leafs...if they had seguin....they couldn't have brought him in the same way the Bruins did.
Now my favorite team is the coyotes... They have the perfect formula, retool with old guys, have fans that don't give a shit...

The KHL has stipulations for their teams, they can only add 3 NHL players to their 25 man roster, and the players have to meet certain criteria.
Nash and Thornton signed with HC Davos in the Swiss league
Gonchar and Malkin signed in the KHL
No word on Crosby, Ovechkin, Datsyuk, Giroux or other stars

Such a bandwagon thing to say. You know there is nothing better than watching live hockey.

Nail Yakupov Amazing Game Tying Goal - Crazy Theo Fleury Celebration 1/24/2013 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2p6XxYVyKrI#ws)
That was the most unreal moment ever. I was listening to end of the 3rd period in my car and was almost in tears when Gagner's goal was taken away from him and then almost in tears again with Yak's buzzer beater. The amount of young talent Edmonton has is just insane. Playoff bound for sure.
-
I feel so bad for Kessel since he hasn't scored in ages, the dude's going to break down into tears on the ice soon. At least JVR, Kadri and Frattin are picking up his slack, JVR is making me forget about Schenn easily.
Anyhow, Mike Kostka sucks asshole. He doesn't deserve top minutes for no clear reason which he is getting, is awful defensively and his great flashes of play with the puck are getting overshadowed by huge fuck ups. Maybe Phaneuf wouldn't be getting shit on by everyone if he didn't have to play with an AHL defensemen, that's all he is yet he's getting more minutes per game than Chara, Weber, Doughty, Seabrook, Kieth, amongst various other skilled elite defensemen.

There is NO reason for him to raise his skate like that. Ever. That's not an accident.
I think that's some of the dirtiest shit I've ever seen.
I can't even imagine the amount of pain you would feel after that.
-
It looks bad in slow motion but there's no way in hell it was intentional. He was trying to pin him against the boards, players always use their knees to dig in, it just slipped up when Karlsson moved and when he brought it back down obviously it was in a shitty spot. Cooke's a piece of shit but it was clearly an accident.
-
Dude's keeping his balance as he's finishing a check. foot came up and scraped Karlsson's leg. It sucks and Cooke has a bad history but I don't think he had the intention of fucking him up like that.
-
you idiots who think that was a dirty play from cooke have obviously never played hockey before. its just pinning someone to the boards, everyone does it this was just a freak accident. you only think it's dirty because it was cooke, who has turned his game around in the past year. karlsson should have been wearing kevlar socks
-
Yah....pronger stepping on dudes is dirty....this isn't....
-
There are so much easier ways to injure someone on purpose than digging a skate into an achilles. I think it is by accident.
Also, something tells me that the Capitals will get a lot better as soon as Ovechkin leaves the team.
-
Honestly, it looks like Cooke did that on purpose. Everyone is going to want to punch him in the face but will end up fighting Deryk Engelland instead.
-
I like how the Senators owner calls out Cooke for being a goon and saying he should get kicked out of the league while he has Chris Neil on his team...
Anyhow, the Leafs shut the door on them tonight, so I'm happy.
-
how is chris neil a goon? does anyone in this thread even play hockey?
-
how is chris neil a goon? does anyone in this thread even play hockey?
Neil, in all personal opinion are similar players. Both are shit disturbers that can actually play hockey. Calling Neil a goon is like calling Cooke a goon. Yes Cooke's been suspended five times, but his last incident was over two years ago and he didn't intentionally try to hurt Karlsson.
Colton Orr managed 13 minutes of ice time tonight. Randy
-
so you agree with me that he isn't a goon then
-
so you agree with me that he isn't a goon then
Yes, just both shit disturbers that are quite similar players, just Cooke has the past. Considering he cut down on his penalty minutes in 2011-2012 and didn't get suspended once, at least he's trying to change.
-
Check hockeyfights.com if you think they are similar players.....

Thank god for him otherwise they would have lost, easily. Their defense is a fucking circus and Liles is still being benched for no reason when you got Kostka and Gunnarsson all over the place doing nothing.
Mike Kostka fits into a group of players that includes Nik Antropov, Mikhail Renberg, Alexei Ponikarovsky, Dmitri Kristich, and others. Players the fan base loathes, and who have not earned spots on the team. Players who are forced on us because management feels like it, and because they can do it. They scream "we know you want a rebuild, but here's Kostka instead." They throw these players in our faces and hype them up so those among the fan base who do not truly understand hockey label them the answer. Players who are not good enough to make us win, but not quite bad enough to let us bottom out completely. They are the perpetual mediocrity squad. Mike Kostka is just the latest, but he will not be the last. This is not a player that went undrafted and then tore up the NCAA, AHL, or SEL. This is not a player that was drafted high in the first round then had a tragic Berard-esque accident and has just begun the process of getting back into the game after a lengthy rehabilitation. This is not a player that was a highly sought after free agent that chose Toronto as a place to try to win a cup. This is not a player that has done anything to demonstrate that he deserves to be the #2 D-man or even in the top four of the TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS. Let's be clear here, TML is LITERALLY a billion dollar organization. Say you are the CEO of a billion dollar company. You have the cash on hand to hire the best possible man for any position you want within your organization. Would you take a guy out of night-school to run one of your flagship locations? No. That's what Mike Kostka is.
Living near Toronto and being a Leafs fan, it's annoying to hear how the Leafs are so much improved when they aren't at all. (same amount of points in the same amount of games as last year) and they're defensively solid they are. They have the same amount of points in the same amount of games as last year, and they are giving up as many, if not more shots than last year. Also annoying to hear everyone pump Kostka's tires when he hasn't been good since the first three games of the season.

Calgary got absolutely fleeced. The return that they would have got from Boston is a lot better than the college no names and a late first round pick they got from Pittsburgh.

I don't hate the leafs but I feel I've wasted way too much time listening about AHL caliber players......I'm still sticking to my guns that a team no one gives a shit about takes the cup....
Calgarys gonna suck forever.....even with prospects or picks....not a chance.....

Its Jarome Iginla bro its not a big deal. He's 35 years old for fux sake. Calgary is lucky to get anything for that bush league coon, its shocking that pitt even wanted him in the first place
Guy led a shitty franchise for his entire career, and now he's supposed to be a sideshow for another cup run? nah that's not how hockey works
Calgary is in a great position for rebuilding, they have loyal fans and great goaltending. Sellouts and jersey sales are all that matters

Dallas was able to get more from Pittsburgh for Brenden Morrow, who's 34 and has chronic back problems. One of the prospects that Calgary would have got from Boston, Alex Khokhlachev, is Boston's best forward prospect and Boston's second best prospect overall behind Subban. Also, Kipper is last in the league in save percentage, their prospect pool is shallow and they should have blown up the team and rebuilt a couple seasons ago, as they still weren't that good (good enough to stay out of the league basement, bad enough to miss the playoffs) and the value of Iginla and Kipper would of been much higher at that time, thus getting better building blocks for the future via trade. There's a reason why their second last in the West.
However, Bouwmeester could fetch a good return if Feaster knows what he's doing and ends up trading him too.

Kipper is a fukkin stud u moron.. this season will go down as the worst in NHL history it doesn't matter, too many B2B.. half the games and all conference play.. just when the nhl was starting to shape up
You may as well be terrible as opposed to mediocre in NHL theres 30 other teams, you're not winning
What don't you understand? hockey is about business not winning, every trade gets made with a business first approach.
It will be great to see the young up and comers get their shot at NHL, it always makes me smile when big names are shipped out of town. the 19-20 year olds want it more and make for much more exciting hockey
-
kiprusoff isnt even going to play next year, you are outside of your mind if you think calgary is in a good position to rebuild
-
Calgary is like ten years behind Edmonton.....future looks bright!
-
I'm still confused why they traded UP at the draft for that Jankowski guy, he is 4 years away from playing.
Kipper said he may very well retire next year.
However look at Edmonton, they somehow still haven't figured it out, I don't doubt that in 3 years they'll start making the playoffs consistently I just thought they'd be better this year.
-
Jankowski was a bit of an oddball decision at the time, but he's one of the few guys who was being projected as being a much later pick whose stock has gone up quite a bit since the draft. He looks like he'll be a real prospect, but yeah definitely not an immediate boost.
But as much flack as Feaster's been getting, I don't think he's really been that incompetent. If you've got aging guys who are as insanely well-respected and fully committed to the team as Kiprusoff and Iginla, who seemed to genuinely think as their contracts winded down that they could potentially guide the team into the playoffs -- it's hard to turn around on that and hit the self-destruct button and go full-on rebuild. I respect them for seeing things through, it didn't work out but trading away aging guys for younger ones is always a risky proposition. Now at least there's some small comfort knowing there's no other option really but to try and stack some prospects and make moves for 4-5 years from now.
I'm still optimistic we can cash in on Bouwmeester and get some higher value players in that might help things along in the shorter term. But to say we got fleeced on the Iginla deal -- I don't buy it. Bruins were offering up better prospects but the 1st rounder was conditional on Iggy signing long-term, which is no certainty. It's going to be a strong draft class, that first rounder is the most important thing even if it's fairly late.

Nazem Kadri. Leads the Leafs with 17 goals (a hat trick tonight), leads the NHL in penalties drawn, and has more points than Eric Staal and Ryan Getzlaf. The only two centres that have more points than him are Crosby and Stamkos.

Surprised he doesn't get more minutes, but the guy has had great chemistry with Lupul and Kulemin on that second line, as does JVR, Bozak and Kessel do on the first. Kessel may not be scoring in bunches this year, but he's been a lot better defensively and still has more points than Seguin and Hamilton combined.
-
They're setting him up to succeed....
I don't fault Feaster for sticking to his guns....but he was unable to bring up any young talent....
It looks like Pittsburgh had no problems trading away prospects and picks because of what they had in their system....how te fuck did they get them?

Man two heart breaking losses back to back by the devils. Giving up game tying goals with 15 and 23 seconds left in regulation. And then lose both in OT. Fuck!

Leafs/Bruins tonight is going to be insane. Leafs got the momentum right now, but if Boston takes their steam away in the first tonight they are done for. It's been a great series though, which I wasn't expecting at all. Reimer has turned me into a believer.
-
NHL schedules game 7 on B2B nights?? This sport is a complete farce
-
Hard to believe the Leafs have forced a game 7. Islanders had some strong games against the Pens, once they got that sieve Fleury out they were doomed though.
Red Wings Blackhawks should be good. Ultimately think the Hawks take it but wont be easy against the Wings Vets.
Vancouver, what can you say. It wouldnt be all doom and gloom if Hansen had hit that empty net in Game 2. Wouldn't have been swept at least. They still would have lost but it wouldn't sting as much.
Changes are ahead hopefully. Not sure what, but I don't see Raymond or Luongo in Canucks colours next year
Stoked on Frank Corrado though, hope to see him starting next year
-
Really wanted to see the Islanders complete the upset, too bad.
I hope the Rangers lose it to the Capitals tonight.
-
I want to see Detriot beat Blackhawks, and someone take the Pens out.
Hopefully Tuuka and the gang can hold it together tonight, they have the power to run train on the leafs but Seguin is too busy thinking about what tattoos he wants to get next instead of scoring goals. expecting more from marchand too and chara just needs to unload on these dudes.
Should be a great game!

As a bruins fan, I love Marchand. He's definitely the player that you hate if he were on any other team though. That triple minor against the Canucks a couple years back in the cup run was awesome, and when he grabbed one of the Sedins and just started hitting him and Sedin just looked over at the ref while getting smacked by a little guy. :D
bruins gotta figure their shit out though, they got lucky last night.

Fucking right, Boston baby! I'm so hyped on Marchand, too. He's from around here, same place as Crosby, so I think it's stupid everyone here loves Crosby and hates Marchand. Even if he is an asshole. And that water bottle play was risky, yet brilliant.

Oh man, I'm bummed on that loss too. Fuck, they just stopped skating in that last ten minutes and then Boston got all the momentum after the Horton goal.
I just hope there's not a ton of pressure on the team now. If the roster doesn't really change the leafs are going to be all the better next season, they're all really young so they'll just grow from this experiance. Plus Carlyle has done an excellent job with them in just one season.

There were lots of rumours going around. One was that he had a DUI and was being punished by the team. Fuck I don't even care it wouldnt have mattered because the Canucks couldn't score.
I hope the Sharks get swept, I hate that rabbit face Couture so much
At least there wont be a boring team in the East finals this year. Unless its a Rangers Kings cup final. Wow would that suck.

Watching game 7 as a Caps fan was grueling. Still excited on next season. If you haven't heard of him, get ready for Steve Oleksy

suspend someone for throwing a water bottle on the ice? what an idiot idea
yes, its called delay of game. its a classless move.
delay of game is not a suspension, its a 2 minute penalty. In game 7 overtime, anything goes so stop being a baby
wow marchand has done much worse that was literally nothing pussy
marchand plays the game with a lot of emotion doesnt always keep a cool head but besides from the shit talking and scrums he isnt a dirty player
in other news that was one of the best games i have ever seen who would have thought you could count on good old 37 to get it done for you fucking love that guy

Bruins / Rangers game 1 and Sharks / Kings game 2 tonight - excited for these match ups!
-
this round is such a toss up. i got money on bruins, hawks, sharks and pens but I have no idea how any of it's going to play out aside from the Hawks probably continuing to dominate and the Sharks probably choking yet again. who knows, though.

^ Such a scum bag. That was just about the saddest I have ever been about a loss.
Oh man, I'm bummed on that loss too. Fuck, they just stopped skating in that last ten minutes and then Boston got all the momentum after the Horton goal.
I just hope there's not a ton of pressure on the team now. If the roster doesn't really change the leafs are going to be all the better next season, they're all really young so they'll just grow from this experiance. Plus Carlyle has done an excellent job with them in just one season.
I went to Maple Leafs Square to watch game 7 and boy that crowd fell silent so fast after the 4th Boston goal. Even if they lost, I'm still proud of them that they even made the playoffs, and came back from a 3-1 series deficit to force a game 7 on a team that has dominated them in the regular season for the past couple of seasons. Nonis will definitely address the issues in the summer, but the future sure looks bright in Toronto.

Shanny is only basing his suspension off of Torres' history unfortunately. If that was any other Shark, it'd be maybe a one game suspension since Stoll left the game and is injured. It was a clean hit that Torres was already committed to, Shanny blew it again.

true. quick had a pretty bad regular season but is getting back to his full potential in the playoffs. what about Fasth? he was one of the best goalies in the regular season

Reimer definitely isn't in the top 5 but he's pretty fucking good. I'd put Ryan Miller in the top 5, he was one of the reasons next to Vanek that Buffalo didn't do even worse.

This year it was all Bobrovsky. The to-be Veznia winner.
Everyone is forgetting Niemi too.
Also I really just hate lundvist. I hate the way he comes off in interviews and acts like a baby when anything happens to him on the ice. Not to mention the damn hat with the number 30 in a crown every interview. Give me a break. Hes a cocky douche, I cant be the only one who feels this way. And it may seem biased being that Im a devils fan and all, but i respect a bunch of Rangers players despite not liking the team.

it doesnt matter hoow bad the panthers are, you can't be considered a top 5 goalie when you only got 8 wins this season. every team in their division sucks too, so that's not an excuse

Its better for a young up and coming goalie to play on a bad team and face adversity. He makes Clemmenson look like a scrub
The few panthers games I watched this season Markstrom was excellent, I believe he's the future even if his W/L record doesn't blow you away. I could have included Bobrovsky but Colombus really changed into a defensive team this season. It was only a 50 game season anyways, none of this shit matters

Good to see your warped logic applied to hockey....

Warped logic? I guess it's better for an up and coming goalie to face 15 shots a game like JQuick does??

Detroit at home is the birthplace of homer calls. It was pretty bad but you gotta score more than 1 goal to win on the road. Hawks looked deflated all game, the whole series is in jeopardy now.
Detroit is just the best franchise in the NHL, you can never count the out. Playoffs every season, talent every season. That octopus thing is pretty cool 2
-
I agree. The Hawks were deflated for at least the second half, but it should have been 2-3. There was no interference on that second goal. Like, it sucks they lost, but I'm more pissed for the lack of penalties called against the Red Wings and that goal taken away than anything else.
-
Top 5 goalies in no particular order
Lundqvist
Niemi
Quick
Price
Rinne
Only one I'm unsure on is Price. I'd probably switch Anderson in there instead, he has been really impressive.
Bobrovsky had a beast second half, but hes not top 5 in the league. There was a time when Miller and Luongo would be on this list.
Lehtonen is very underrated
-
Lundqvist gets my vote, he is consistently good every season, you see a lot of guys, come and go with hot years here and there, he's always just solid.

nah the goal shouldn't have counted, the rule book clearly states you cant impede a goalies movement in the their crease, doesnt matter if you actually touch them or not

Detroit are putting on a fucking clinic this year. Babcock is just straight out-coaching everyone. 1 shot on 3 powerplays for Chicago? Crazy.

So the Avs hire Patrick Roy as their head coach. I'm excited to see what changes the Avs can do with Sakic at the helm and Roy as coach. Apparently Adam Foote is going to be brought on staff as well. Might as well bring in Forsberg and Bourque while they're at it, unreal.

Go Pens.
I hate Boston LA and SJ
Ideal cup final for me would be Wings-Pens

how about them wings? wow.
i hate the bruins rangers series, ever game is soo fucking boring and I hate both teams
I would rather see Pens v hawks cup series, good passing, fast skating and high scoring.

I hate Marchand when he plays against the Leafs, but I loved it when he blasted past that goon Cooke, scored, and then beamed him instead of celebrating. I was loling so much at that game last night. I hope Boston sweeps them and then loses to Chicago. I know too many annoying Pens fans, it would be great to see them embarrassed.

Yup. Boston in 4 over Pittsburg, and then a fast and hard 7 game final with Chicago winning, in a perfect world.

Still hoping for the Pens to turn it around but they played like dog shit in game 2, the whole team. poor passing, a lot of giveaways, falldown defense and a lot of frustration. 2 goalies who weren't on point didn't help either. Game 1 pucks just weren't dropping and they weren't at the top of their game, but game 2 was just embarrassing. I got two buddies that are Boston fans and couldn't be happier they were out of town for that one so I didn't have to watch the game with them.

I am still devastated by the Kassian-Hodgson trade
As long as Gillis stays GM I doubt any big moves will go down.
Either way we're going to have to take back salary and a shitty contract from another team who we trade Luongo to. I would honestly rather see Luongo to the Pens as he has the best chance to win a cup there
-
I don't think I could handle hearing about Luongo all summer... again. Anyhow, draft day should be interesting since all 7 rounds are going to be on one day.

Interested to see what Colorado does. They pretty much can't go wrong.
I would take Mackinnion over Jones personally. Especially after the Memorial Cup Final last week. I just have a feeling Jones could be Tyler Meyers/Victor Hedman type pick, they haven't really panned out. Obviously different play styles but honestly, who would you rather have on your team right now Victor Hedman or Matt Duchene?
Regardless of who they take they are getting a solid player, even Drouin who is the most underrated of the 3 will be a stud.

Bobrovsky was a large reason why Columbus surged up the standings and they became somewhat relevant. Hell, they only missed the playoffs by a point because Minnesota edged them out at the end. Gaborik also did very well once he got traded there and playing in Todd Richards' system again (he coached the Wild when Gaborik was there.)
I wouldn't call Jarmo Kekalainen (the GM) sorry either considering he's going into the draft with three first round picks (from trading Carter and Nash) while having their own pick; meaning he could trade any one of those picks for a player that can address their needs. Just personal opinion.
-
So this is news to me but Jeff Carter fucked Scott Hartnells wife and thats why he was traded to Columbus in the first place.
Also Brieres wife got fucked by a teammate and thats why he sucked for those 2 years while he was going through his divorce.

Gaborik had 8 points in 12 games for the Jackets, Ryan Callahan was a 4th round pick (127th overall) and Columbus' defence core is solid with guys like Johnson, Tyutin, Wisniewski, Nikitin, etc. The Jackets also got Tim Erixon, a good young guy to offset the loss of Moore.

Leafs acquire Jonathan Bernier from LA for Matt Frattin, Ben Scrivens, and a 2nd round pick in either 2014 or 2015 (Leafs choice).
-
that seems like a pretty stupid trade. reimer was their best player in the playoffs and now hes gonna be there back up?
-
Scrivens was an amazing goalie with the marlies, I feel like he didn't get a chance live up to his potential with the leafs and now he's going to be a perma back up goalie in LA. I hope he gets a starting job eventually. Bernier looks like a talented goal tender from what i've seen, probably too talented to be a back up as well. Reimer was actually very good this year, it was the defense that was a bit lacking. Should be interesting next year. I know most here probably don't pay attention to the AHL but Dallas Eakins from the Toronto Marlies is now on as coach of the Edmonton Oilers. He runs a tight ship, Edmonton fans should expect to see a turn around next year. He took the marlies to the second round of the playoffs this year after half his team got bumped up and having only rent-a-goalies to work with.
-
Reimer no doubt in my mind is still the #1 considering the Leafs wouldn't have made the playoffs or gone as far as they did against Boston without him. Bernier is there to challenge him for that #1 spot, which could motivate Reimer to play even better. I'll miss Frattin and I think he'll become an even better player on LA, but Bernier is a definite upgrade over Scrivens with more potential as his stats are identical to Reimer's, but with less games played on a much better team.
With Eakins, I think Edmonton can do better because he's really good at working with younger players, but they will still suck until they get better defensemen and goaltending.
-
I think getting Bernier in was a safe bet...they didn't give up too much....goalies can take awhile to pan out, so now they have two guys who can challenge.....itll drive fans nuts figuring out who the starter is though....getting Louie would make them immediately more competitive but could be a mess in a couple years....
The Canucks getting Torts is the best thing we've done since getting Messier....

Holmgren is the worst GM in the league. I can't believe they traded away the Vezina winning goaltender, and signed Brzygalov to a 30 year deal
the bob never came up when it mattered while in philly. shit even in columbus they still missed the playoffs.
whoever was columbus' last gm and the one they have now are both pretty sorry. they let the rangers fleece them twice in one year.
I wouldn't call Jarmo Kekalainen (the GM) sorry either considering he's going into the draft with three first round picks (from trading Carter and Nash) while having their own pick; meaning he could trade any one of those picks for a player that can address their needs. Just personal opinion.
if i remember correctly, Gaborik had six points in like 15 games with them? i know brassard out performed him post trade. that and the fact that they gave up two other players, john moore is going to be good, columbus lost out on that trade. gaborik is past his prime, they gave up youth to get an over the hill guy. also, first round draft picks dont mean anything. look what they did with brassard, they couldnt develop him correctly. i think the rangers' ryan callahan was a sixth round pick, right?
Let's not forget the offensive force of Johnathan Audy-Marchessault, Cam Atkinson, and Matt Calvert :) Was great seeing those guys play in Springfield, excited to see them in the eastern conference next year.

I'm not, mainly because these new divisions are fucking stupid. They couldn't just move the Thrash... I mean Jets (pretty much the same team) to the West and move one of Detroit or Columbus to the East, not both?

first off, nyr got the better end on the nash trade. to say otherwise shows you do not know enough about hockey. erixon is most likely a bust, stu bickel got more playing time than him in ny, dubi is high-risk for injury, and artie is an amazing player, but no rick nash.
gaborik is on his way out, he played his best games already. brassard, who will never be what gaborik was, will still be a great player, better than gaborik is going to be for the blue jackets. that alone is worth the trade, but nyr addressed defensive needs with someone who is going to be pretty good, and got some grit with dorsett. believe me yo, glen sather knows what he's doing.
all you guys are hopping on this blue jackets bandwagon, but you forget that they missed the playoffs even with the best goalie in the league. they fucking suck. go rangers!

the blackhawks are just lucky sons of bitches. im suprised they made it passed detroit, and even more suprised they made it to game 6 with the bruins... The bruins definately dominated that game. i feel terrible for them
-
Boston dominated the first period because they were desperate, but that can't last you the entire game.
EDIT: And to say that the Hawks were merely lucky is just not true. They played hard this game (and the entire series), which is evident in the fact that despite Boston dominating, they kept them at 1.
-
the hawks scored more goals than boston. It was a very good series. glad hockey is over, i like going to bed early.

you're tripping. we're talking about a guy who is responsible for assembling those great oilers teams in the 80s, trading the great one away, and being right about doing so. since he join nyr, the franchise has turned around and become a legitimate cup contender under his management. i guess you columbus fans really are still in shock after the nash trade, but you guys got fleeced. the fucking gm who pulled the trigger on that trade got canned. then, sather fleeced you guys again. gabs for brass would've been and even trade, but then we got two excellent young players on top of that. idk in what world that equals columbus winning on the deal.

And who was the guy responsible for signing Gaborik and Richards in the first place? Sather. I wouldn't call 8 points in 12 games for Gaborik, 20 points in 28 games for Dubinsky, 18 in 35 for Anisimov (he did miss time with a concussion) nothing. Nash, Dorsett and Moore did jack shit in the playoffs while the only guy who gave a shit was Brassard, who only had 18 points in 34 games with Columbus (close to Anisimov, if you didn't notice.) Columbus missed the playoffs by ONE POINT, and the oh so mighty Rangers got manhandled by the Bruins in the second round, who barely got passed the first round and only did because the Leafs inexperience and sloppy play let them get there.

Both of your arguments fall short on one huge fact: Columbus missed the playoffs, New York made the playoffs. No matter how you want to spin it, New York had more success this season, and therefore, won the fucking trade. Also, the Bruins went on to win the East and were 1:16 from a game seven. So, the fact that you're ripping on the Bruins shows that you also don't know much about hockey. I never called the Rangers mighty, but god, they are ten times better than Columbus. You will see that when they kill them next season.
Also, rumors have it that the Bob might not even resign with the Blue Jackets, choosing the KHL. Anisimov, too. Again, these are only rumors. Also Philly is buying out Bryz. That's fact.
-
seriously shut the fuck up, they won the trade because they made the playoffs? what the fuck is wrong with you
-
Also, Columbus finished the season with 55 points, New York finished with 56. Columbus actually tied Minnesota (who came 8th) but they only missed the playoffs because Minnesota only had TWO more wins than Columbus..
-
seriously shut the fuck up, they won the trade because they made the playoffs? what the fuck is wrong with you
ahahaha! wtf are you tripping for? we're talking about a trade here, every trade has a winner and loser. the only way to measure that is through the success of the team. the winning team in the trade has more success than the team that lost the trade. playoff team vs. non-playoff team. who is more successful? what's wrong with you?
there is literally no stat that you can pull that will prove columbus won either of these trades.
the first one went over so well with the owner that he fired the guy who made the move. the next one helped one team get over the hump and make the playoffs and failed to improve the other. idk wtf is so hard understand. you guys are dumb, really dumb.
sather fleeced columbus twice, its a fact. dubi's one goal and 19 assist is worthless, didnt do shit for the team, artie might not even resign, and erixon has not proven a damn thing. gabs is banged up and past his prime. rangers got nash, a superstar in his prime, then brassard, a guy's whose future contributions will outweigh gaboriks, john fucking moore who is gonna be sick, and then derek dorsett, a pretty good enforcer who can also score. columbus got two of ny's third-liners that columbus used as first-liners and an over the hill gaborik. that is not an equal trade at all.
you guys must be smokin sherm.

again, more proof that nyr did better than columbus.
HOW? THEY FINISHED BETTER BY ONE FUCKING POINT IN AN EASIER CONFERENCE!

You're the one on drugs if you think the Rangers won a trade because they made the playoffs by ONE POINT in an easier conference.

first off, the east and west are even as fuck. look at the points in relation to the standings. 7th and 8th in both had as many points. 4th seed in east had more than in west. chicago is by far the best team, you have that. but boston was a few bad goals from winning their second cup in the past few years.
the fucking reason they made the second trade was so each team could address their issues and get over the hump and get into the playoffs. one team made the playoffs, one team didnt. if you dont recognize the reason why they made the trade, you cannot identify who won.
the nash trade is clearly a fleecing. we're talking about a superstar traded for two depth players with injury issues that were out of ny anyways, and an unproven d-man, who is on his third nhl team without even 100 games under his belt. the guy is a bust. thats a fleecing. totally lopsided. the fucking columbus owner recognized this as a bad trade on their part and FIRED the GM who made the trade.
are you still going to argue this?

the rangers did better last year without nash than they did this year with nash, that is an indisputable fact
the blue jackets did better this year without nash than they did last year with nash, also an indisputable fact

you know that the reasons both of these teams performances were different had nothing to do with the nash trade. columbus had the best goalie in the league, thats the only reason they got where they did. the rangers obviously over-achieved last year and they obviously under-achieved this year, mainly due to the embarrassing showings by richards and gaborik and poor coaching by tortorella.
how about this, rick nash scored alsmot twice as many goals and almost as many assist as the three players he was traded for, another indisputable fact.

u just couldn't shut up could u? weren't satisfied that u made urself look stupid, had to stretch it even further? u seem suicidal, I hope u get the help u need.
I don't even kno where to begin.ur argueing with a fake account and a leafs can, and making them look good. I agree with who won the trade, but ur reasoning is insane and flawed. because NY regressed and Columbus got better, using point standings for the following year is probably the single worst way u coulda gone about making your point. u even said there's no way to prove Columbus won the deal, well there's obv no way to prove the opposite. there's so many other factors in a teams success, tracing it to one trade is just ridiculous. just seriously. stop pushing your hard headed opinions, u make others look bad by being in the same side. u r super dumb, lol when u claimed a one point divide between teams as a piece of evidence, truly embarassing for yourself. ur stupidity is actually dangerous, if ur truly not aware of it then that's a little scary. it's def gonna get u killed one day, be careful and maybe consider big life changes if u want any modicum of success in ur future.

the difference is the rangers were one of the favorites to win the cup this season, and the jackets were expected to finish in last place. either way, making the playoffs is irrelevant if you don't win the cup. funny how you say columbus did good this year only because of their goalie, you could say the exact same thing about new york. rick nash is a pure goal scorer, its no shocker that he scored that many goals. columbus needed depth, and nash wanted out. so far its working out well for columbus, and they have first round draft picks coming up so good for them

you really can't say the goalie thing about nyr though, brassard made a name for himself, derek stepan stepped up as one of the best centers in the league, rick nash is the shit, and the rangers have one of the best group of defensemen in the league. thats all facts, man. any objective hockey fan would agree.
columbus got better, thats obvious. but it wasnt bc of the trade, it was bc of the bob. thats pretty obvious.
and ice nine needs to chill. we're talking about hockey on a skate forum. no one is getting into name callin yo. just normal sports forum banter here. relax man, this is just stuff fans do. you dont need to get a hernia over it. golly.

Also, rumors have it that the Bob might not even resign with the Blue Jackets, choosing the KHL. Anisimov, too. Again, these are only rumors. Also Philly is buying out Bryz. That's fact.

I feel like your wrong on Bobrovsky and Anisimov. It's not easy getting out of KHL contracts, so when the ones who "escaped" leave and have the kind of potential those two have they're not going to go back. Prospects are a different story but again most of the time it's the contracts.

It's only a rumor, but it's substantial enough that both players are actually considering it. Both would be huge stars there. Anisimov's game would shine on the larger rink, and frankly, he the archetypal Russian hockey player, pure offensive ability with a disciplined defensive game. Give him more ice and he'd kill in the NHL. As for The Bob, he'd be the biggest star in the KHL. It's more likely that they'll be Blue Jackets, but a lot more Russians are leaving the NHL to play in the KHL and it wouldn't be surprising if these two did as well. They'd make more money and be more heralded. It's not far-fetched at all.

Anyways there's Henrik Lundqvist, Pekka Rinne, Jonathan Quick, Ryan Miller, Carey Price and I think Roberto Luongo belongs with them too. Those are the elite

The Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday re-signed forward Artem Anisimov to a three-year contract extension. Terms of the deal were not released, but the Columbus Dispatch is reporting the average annual value to be $3.283 million per season.
Anisimov, 25, had 11 goals and was third on the team with 18 points in 35 games in the 2012-13 season. He joined the team from the New York Rangers as part of the Rick Nash trade.
He would have become a restricted free agent had he not signed by July 5.
"Artem is a big part of our team and we're very pleased to sign him to this extension," Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said. "He's an extremely dependable two-way center with a dynamic skill set and we think he will be a key contributor to our club in the coming years."
Chosen by the Rangers with the 54th pick of the 2006 NHL Draft, Anisimov has 57 goals, 69 assists and 126 points in 279 NHL games.
Anisimov has won silver medals playing for Russia at the 2010 and 2013 IIHF World Championships.

Lecavalier was bought out today. I can definitely see the guy end his career in Tampa Bay in a few years. I hope the Leafs get him though, he'd look fantastic between JVR and Kessel. He's a definite upgrade over Bozak as well.
Flames trade Tanguay and Sarich to Colorado for David Jones and Shane O'Brien. How does Feaster still have a job?
-
The Flames are just a head-to-toe incompetent organization. Unfortunately, I've come to accept this. Shanahan was approached for a position just above Feaster on the ladder but turned it down. No one with half a mind wants anything to do with a team this shitty, with an owner that pulls all the strings.
Edit: Though I should add that I don't mind this trade, honestly. The team needed extra strength and they got it, I've certainly never been too big a fan of Tanguay myself. It's a pretty dumb contract to take on but I don't think anyone's too worried about the team hitting the cap this year.

As a Leaf fan, I understand this completely. It didn't matter how many shitty players they had (Blake, Toskala, Stempniak, Wellwood and so many others) or how many leads they blew in the third period (Thanks Wilson) or how many losses they'd have, I'd always watch them because I knew something good would happen someday, and that happened when Burke took over. It's a shame he didn't get any credit for assembling that team and coaching staff that made the playoffs this year.

I hated it at first considering Bernier was drafted the same year as Reimer (2006) yet he doesn't have much experience because he was a perma-backup behind one of the best goalies in the league. I'll miss Frattin and I think he'll become a better player in LA, but Bernier still has a lot of potential and he's a lot better than Scrivens, so I like it.
Anyhow, Rangers aren't buying out Richards and Alfredsson is coming back for another year.

as far as the richards thing, if he struggles right out of the gate, their going to shut him down for the year. can't buyout an injured player. that'd be some shit if they ended up sitting him for a season. hopefully he can bounce back, bc the dude is clutch when he is on his game.

Devils got Schnieder for their round 1 draft pick.
I'm psyched on this.

Dave Bolland to the Leafs for three draft picks with one being in 2014. I'm so pumped on this trade.
-
It sucks to see Bolland go considering his Cup winning goal, but he's so inconsistent. You didn't hear too much about him all season and then he played ok during the playoffs. And this isn't the first season that that was the case. I'm more upset to see Frolik go, but it helped keep Bickell and some other big players on the Hawks.
-
can't believe the Canucks traded their best young player, potentially the best young goalie for a shitty pick. gillis is either an idiot or aquilini(the owner) has way too much say.

No way the owners wanted to buy Louie out....and no one wanted him....
Schneider maybe has some anxiety problems....you throwing in Torts....and Vancouver fans....I'm fine with it....sucks for him now having to win a spot from Brodeur...Wish we got more for him though.....we should have started grabbing picks years ago instead of adding guys at trading deadline.....
Chicago knows what's up....Everyone thought it was the end of the world after they lost all the depth after winning the first cup....

Jagr is out as well. Albeit the Cup lose was massively disappointing, I still am always in awe of the amount of restructuring Boston team brass are willing to go through in years of "sub-par" finishes i.e. 2011 Sox & the 2013 Celtics.

Boston has lots of Ds coming up and when Horton is on he's great but has been inconsistent......they could lose him.....
-
Not as much draft talk as I thought there would be.
Colorado is stacked up the middle with Duchene, Stastny, O'Reilly (could turn out great) and now MacKinnon. Part of the many reasons why everyone was saying to pick Seth Jones, but they're probably looking to unload someone. I bet it's Stastny, seeing as he is a UFA after next year

Not much. Hes a physical forward not much of a scoring forward. He cleans up plays and is good in front of the net, but is not a great skater and doesn't create offense. His most productive season was less than 50 points, despite 30 goals. Hes an overpaid agitator essentially, he plays with heart and is a good guy, but is being overpaid.

Considering the fact that the majority expected him to sign $6 million+, was one of the highly sought after forwards in free agency and took a lot less money to sign with the hometown Maple Leafs, I don't mind the contract at all, although 7 years is a long ass time.

That is, retiring from the NHL and "returning to Russia". I think this means he's going to play in Sochi and the KHL

Why sign a 17 year deal when he couldn't even make it past 5? He just fucked over the Devils big time, they're going to suck without him and they also still need to forfeit a 1st round pick because of him.

Devils are probably the worst team in the east now. I can't even name their top 6 fwds
That was the busiest free agent day in recent memory.
The Clarkson contract is fucking regular. His max season was 45 points, sure they are not paying him only to score he brings some grit, hitting etc. but at that term and that cap hit, he will be bought out in 3 years.
I was pretty shocked by Alfredsson packing his bags and heading to Detroit. The Sens have an equal shot at the cup as Detroit, they are not the Wings of 5 years ago. The Bobby Ryan trade will help the Sens for sure, Spezza and him will be a good combo.
Pretty surprised with the Seguin trade too, Dallas all of a sudden looks a lot different. They signed Gonchar too I think earlier in the offseason.
Notable Free Agents still available
Morrow
Jagr
Bryzgalov
Grabovski
Brunner
As for the Schneider trade, we fired the wrong person this summer. Gillis has gotta go. Absolute shit trade, he was under the gun, whatever. Schneider was their best prospect and a top young goalie. Then they pass on drafting Nichushkin who Dallas happily plucked right after us.
Gonna be a long season.

Morrow was a ghost the entire playoffs, what series were you watching? Dallas can't stand that guy, and Pittsburgh obviously can't use him.. NOONE wants him..!!
The Schneider trade was one of the best moves Gillis has ever made. Can't believe I missed that earlier. Buy low sell high! Besides Luongo is a #1 starter. He proved it his entire career, Schneider is great but it's not worth shipping Lu out of town. It's not like there's some struggle to find a good goalie in Vancouver, they lack toughness and consistency with their 3+4 lines
-
so my friends brother is long time friends with jason garrison, and says jason told him that the reason schneider got traded is because kesler fucked schneiders girlfriend. That woulda account for the mental problems schneider supposedly had during late last season. anyone heard this? seems far fetched
-
Well it's on! I have put some money for potential Lord Stanley winners that could generate some money. Devils (favorite team), Maple Leafs, Oilers, Capitals, Sharks and Red Wings.
Bruins seems tough this year and probably hungry for redemption. What's your thoughts on this season?

This seems to be a really popular rumour after searching.
Thats really fucked if true. Then again, I heard a similar rumour with Jeff Carter fucking Scott Hartnells wife and thats partially why he was traded to Columbus. Also there was a rumour about Jeff Carter Mike Richards AND Brieres wife, which led to Richards pretty surprising trade too.
Who knows.

Hertl's goal last night - must be nice to have it like that.

Amazing goal, to bad Lundqvist wasn't in goal.

The Flyers probably have the worst built roster in the entire league. Absolutely zero cohesion among the forwards and the blueline is most likely the league's worst.
Steve Mason was unconscious last night in goal for them. FLA would've beat them 6-2 if not for Mason.
-
Sabres suck. Oilers suck. Flyers suck??? I still am pretty shocked at how bad theyre doing. Hard to comprehend with some of the pieces in their lineup.
The entire Western Conference is out of hand right now. Pittsburgh leads the East with 22 points. They would be 6th in the West. What the fuck.
-
I feel bad for Matt Moulson. Played with the islanders while they suck up until they are clearly on the upswing just to be traded to the sabres who are terrible and rebuilding. He got shafted, i highly doubt he re-signs with Buffalo though.

I'm just glad the Flames are playing decent hockey now. I'd take one of their losses these days over their average win a few seasons ago easily. Chris Butler has to be the worst active NHL player though, Jesus fucking Christ.

As a Blackhawks fan this slump (the whole of 2014) is somewhat concerning. Kane not expected to return until the playoffs and now an injury to Towes.
Also Avs have 4 wins against us this season. Always trouble us with their speed.

Yep. I don't know what it is. My dad's been a big Blackhawks fan his entire life and he was saying that, especially now, the Blackhawks are a great playoff team so I hope he's right. But it's still nerve racking and you want to go into the series on the right foot.
I didn't expect a repeat of last season in terms of wins/streaks, but I also didn't expect the changes in conference and everyone else to pull themselves together like they have.
In good news, Toews is day-by-day and has some time to rest, so hopefully he'll be good for Thursday.

They don't even have import beers at Flames games. It's Canadian, Bud, or for an additional bullshit surcharge of 25 cents you can get "domestic premium" which is just fucking Keith's.

Every game so far has been ridiculously good. It's kid in candy store good. Being able to watch a great game then flip the channel to another during intermissions is a real treat.
I feel as if there is going to be a slew of injuries once the 2nd round begins.
Naturally I'm going for the Habs but realistically I think either the Bruins(who are great but I hate) or Chicago has it this year. Would love to see the Avs take it. Watching their season since Roy being behind the bench has been great.

Im really not surprised, I kind of knew game 1 was going to be a wake up call. The Datsyuk goal really was a beaut though, he reached back and slid the puck through his legs from behind like it was nothing crossed into the zone and ripped one far side through dougie hamiltons legs. I dont think franzen deserved an assist on that one datsyuk did it all himself that dude is so next level you just have to respect him

Detroit just plays good hockey and that's never going to change. Whoever comes and goes doesn't matter, they lock it down.

Wild better win this next game. Tonight was fucking pathetic, we let Colorado take all the momentum when they scored. Bryzgalov played like shit, our D was shit, we weren't forechecking for shit. I could tell when Colorado was gonna score a goal every time we did. We're giving away wide open shots from the slot, and I don't know when Yeo's gonna realize that just because we have Ryan Suter and Jonas Brodin and an offensive defenseman in Jared Spurgeon doesn't mean we can play roving defense because it's not fucking working. The only good thing for us tonight was Kuemper's relief, because we played like an ECHL team out there.

Kuemper did a great job at subbing in for Bryzgalov. The Avs are just so fast. Also Roy put Stastny, Landeskog AND MacKinnon in the same line which is basically an unstoppable goal machine.

I cant believe they called anything on subban in that game after he purposely high sticked someone (i forget who) in the throat. If he wasnt such a gigantic piece of shit with a spoiled brat of an attitude he would be an amazing player. and that was most definitely a goal i cant believe how poorly the refs handled that one they made a joke out of what would have been a good game.
Im going to try and find the cooper interview now because i can only imagine what he has to say
Rule 69.1 (just saw everyone knows why the disallowed goal on callahan was the wrong call)
The overriding rationale of this rule is that a goalkeeper should have the ability to move freely within his goal crease without being hindered by the actions of an attacking player. If an attacking player enters the goal crease and, by his actions, impairs the goalkeeper?s ability to defend his goal, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed.
If an attacking player has been pushed, shoved, or fouled by a defending player so as to cause him to come into contact with the goalkeeper, such contact will not be deemed contact initiated by the attacking player for purposes of this rule, provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact.
1) the initial contact on price came from a check that killorn took and still went to the right to avoid contact with price who was out of his crease so that doesnt count
2) the contact on price coming out of the net was caused by an interference by subban that disallowed killorn to leave the net which led to price and killorn having contact (which price actually initiated anyways) so that doesnt count either.
Bad call dont let these shmucks show you rule 69.3 and pretend like it was a good call.

Seriously where do you start? He's a good player who plays a very cheap style of hockey he makes dirty and pathetic plays that are cringe worthy he starts fights with his coaches not only off the ice but during games an when Montreal offer him a 7.5 million a year deal he tells him he will walk unless they give him 8 which is the dumbest thing I've ever heard

That goes for every big names in the league. Most of the french canadien players don't want to play here because the pressure is just to big for them.

What a shitty play by Cooke. Usually I'll defend him when people are talking shot about him but that play was classless. He's been playing cleaner but that's the second knee-to-knee I've seen from him this year. Throw him out for the next seven at least, probably the rest of the postseason. Also, how are my Wild outplaying the Avalanche so badly and it's 0-0? Jesus Christ just give Varlamov his Vezina already.
EDIT: Granlund scored from the ground! What a play! We win!

Say what you want about the Cookes/ Averys.. Every team in the league will try and pick them up in free agency, they are shit disturbers and great for any team.

Much better from Blackhawks today. A shut out for Crawford will do his confidence the world of good.

I think boston will win a close game in hockeytown usa. someone actually fight chara please ass beating or not.
flyers win game 3 hope this series gets nasty and goes 7 games.
san jose sharks looked like they can't be beaten lately so road game or not I think they will win big time.

I cant believe they called anything on subban in that game after he purposely high sticked someone (i forget who) in the throat. If he wasnt such a gigantic piece of shit with a spoiled brat of an attitude he would be an amazing player. and that was most definitely a
Also, if this Kings/Sharks series doesn't tell you that Quick is overrated I don't know what will
Seriously where do you start? He's a good player who plays a very cheap style of hockey he makes dirty and pathetic plays that are cringe worthy he starts fights with his coaches not only off the ice but during games an when Montreal offer him a 7.5 million a year deal he tells him he will walk unless they give him 8 which is the dumbest thing I've ever heard
He's a powerplay asset in addition to what you previously said and that's all. I have no fucking idea how he won the Norris last year over Suter, I really don't.

Never understood why anyone backs Phaneuf. Always referring to how many minutes he plays. Ok great, he plays 24 minutes. He plays poorly, he makes bad decisions, pinches at the worst times ( and rarely recovers the puck) and is slow as a dinosaur. For 7 million.

oh hahahaha you know us bruins fans so quick to jump on the defensive my bad man I just read your post again dont know what i was thinking the first time.
I was in montreal for the series the bruins had against the canadiens in 2011 for a bachelor party weekend. I was there with my brother because his best friend was the one getting married. Anyways we went to a bar to watch game 4 and all of the tables were reserved for the game but no one was sitting at the bar so me and about 15 boston fans took up most of the bar that was right smack dab in the middle of the restaurant. Well if you can remember, that game was insane and montreal was kicking our ass needless to say we got heckled like crazy so we drank actually a lot of the canadiens fans at the bar were really nice but the people at the table surrounding the bar really were not. Anyways a spark of life went through the Bs and they tied it up going into the third so we were going crazy and you could tell the tension was getting pretty thick at the bar. In the third montreal went back up by 1 i believe and we tied it back up and then in overtime ryder lit the lamp and we all went crazy. I was 22 at the time and my brother and his friends were all in their early thirties but what do the pissed off canadien fans do, well they all target me of all the people there, mind you not only am i the youngest but i am also 5'8" and at that point i weighed probably 115 pounds so obviously i was the one to getting targeted. A couple of bald over weight middle aged men start grabbing and screaming at me and I just kept repeating take it easy take it easy when all of a sudden i feel someone pull me back and im like great what the fuck is this now but i turned and i saw two big bodies jump infront of me and i realized it was my cousin and the dude getting married jumping up (these two fuckers are huge) they grab the dude by his shirt basicaly pick him up and toss him into a table. I thought a huge fight was going to break out and we would be killed because even though my brothers friends are all big dudes we were seriously outnumbered but all that ended up happening was those two throwing that guy and pushing a bunch of dudes back, there was a lot of swearing and yelling and me and another older guy grappled a little and both basically fell over each other like a couple of drunks and we all walked out of the bar laughing and feeling pretty good.
I dont know why i told you guys this story but just thinking about it takes me back ahhh 2011 what a good year haha
Edit: oh and you know fuck the habs!
-
St Louis is sooo good they just don't have that X factor. Chicago rifles off 3 straight, that can't happen especially after being up 2-0. Same story happened last year with LA. Mentally weak? Lack of killer instinct? Parity? I don't know.. They sure aren't a scary team 5 on 5, hope chicago crushes them next game
-
Fuck Chicago, I want to see someone else in the west like St.Louis, Dallas, or San Jose go deep into the playoffs for once.
Not to mention I really like St.Louis. Tarasenko is too good.
-
It's all gonna work out.....st Louis is a good team...they just need another year or two....they all think this is the year....but they have enough pieces that they'll be around for a bit.....hopefully they don't do something stupid to keep Miller....
Chicagos goin down....maybe not this series but they are weaker this year.....the best thing about the Toews goal was that it wasn't Kane....
-
Aside from Tarasenko, I don't really think the Blues aren't a team that can pull out the finesse and stick handling that's necessary to get shit done in the play-offs. Throwing around your weight can only get you so far, especially since the NHL told the refs to cut that shit out after the first two games.
I'm really surprised how many rebounds Miller gives up. If your team has to swarm in front of you after every shot because there's a good chance you're going to give up the puck, you're really messing up.
-
Living in Chicago, I'd love to see the Blackhawks win their series but only if the Wild win theirs so I can rub it in all of my friends faces when the Wild beat the Blackhawks in 6

boston ends the series today at home.
hope columbus beats the penguins but sadly pittsburgh takes game 5.
colorado wins in OT.
sharks will win unless the kings get them more interested in fighting then hockey.
I also agree that the blackhawks are tight n all but id rather see st.louis go on.

They're not finesse at all, but their team is just so perfectly balanced offensively and defensively, it's great to watch. Hitchcock's system has worked wonderfully for them.

You can talk shit on fairweather fans or bandwagon jumpers all you want, but that doesn't win Cups, doesn't make the Hawks a worse team, and doesn't change the fact that the Blues royally fucked up two years in a row. I understand being pissed, but you're not talking hockey--you're complaining about random shit. "There is a certain resolve required to win a championship and that team has it and we are trying to get it," said Blues coach Ken Hitchcock (http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/columnist/allen/2014/04/21/blackhawks-beat-blues-game-3/7992547/ (http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/columnist/allen/2014/04/21/blackhawks-beat-blues-game-3/7992547/)). That's your own coach saying what the Blues' problem is and what the Blackhawks' greatest asset is.
EDIT: Also, if you don't enjoy watching a technical team play against another good team, then I don't know what to tell you. The level at which the NHL is at now and is going to, I know that I'll at least watch the finals regardless of whether the Blackhawks are in or not because it's good hockey at that point. Not the hit and runs or fights that tend to dominate the games that bandwagoners and ignorant hockey fans prefer.
-
If colorado beats Minnesota then Avs vs. Blackhawks will be a crazy series. Colorado beat Chicago mostly during the regular season if I remember correctly but the playoffs are a whole different ball game. Duchene and Barrie will be out, plus Chicago has way more playoff experience and can perform better under pressure. Honestly I can't see colorado makin it through that series but if it did happen, boy talk about the upset of the year. Second to last place in the standings from last season to beating the reigning champions.
-
Yeah, an Avs vs. Blackhawks series will be very exciting/stressful. Some good hockey will come out of it though at the very least.

The Blues are one of the best up and coming teams in the league right now, but again, the more experienced team beat them and it didn't help that Miller (although everyone is accountable no doubt) provided under .900SV% goaltending. I just want to see St.Louis take that next step and go deeper into the playoffs, and they could definitely do that next season if their offence improves and they take what they've learned from this series. With Chicago, I just want to see someone else in the West dominate in the playoffs for once is all.
Not related but that Stars-Ducks series I enjoyed although Dallas lost. The line of Nichushkin-Seguin-Benn will definitely make some noise over the next few years.
-
I agree with you definitely because I always like to see teams progress and improve. I understand what you're saying about wanting to see someone else progress and see what they're made of. I got a little excited, so sorry about that.
-
If Miller didn't suck that much and everyone else not named Tarasenko contributed offensively, they could of had a shot because they were great the first two games.
The Leafs historically collapsed again... and pretty much every team I wanted to win (LA, Tampa, Dallas, and St.Louis) didn't/won't make it out of the first round.
And I'm definitely not a fan of fighting in hockey. Watching Carlyle play Orr over better guys like Bodie, Holland, D'Amigo and Ashton all season was fucking infuriating because he doesn't do anything at all.
-
Av's won't have another round left in em.....
Sucks about St. Louis but all the planets have to be in alignment....they're at a bit of a crossroads now.....it makes no sense but when they grabbed Miller....it just didn't smell right...they blew some big regular season games too...
Man....hawks are probably the most multi faceted team in the league....I can't front....Don't think they'll pull through this year though. The ducks can take 'em...if the sharks squeeze past LA....maybe?
Best round is first round anyhow.....

it's all good, it was a good series, and winning a game 7 away at MSG isn't the easiest thing to do. Also, Mason had a concussion towards the end of the regular season and was still feeling symptoms until apparently game 4, I don't know if that makes up for anything but oh well.
I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Giroux also had some kind of injury through the playoffs, he definitely looked off his game, especially tonight.

I'm all for talking shit, but come on, that's taking it overboard.
Kind of ironic considering they drafted his brother... but they did the same shit when Joel Ward scored on Thomas and eliminated them a couple years back.

the black guy can shoot boston might wanna block the shot next time...
rangers going to beat that ass tonight
-
the boston bruins are the kings of missing the open net these playoffs.
I don't like PK subban either but those people are nuts but I also agree he's got a tight slap shot.
but penguins take game 1 in OT.
blackhawks win big at home.

How Suter didn't win the Norris in 12-13 and wasn't even nominated this year when he's carried the blueline on his back since he's been in Minnesota is nuts.

Karlsson is fucking awful defensively, and I was talking about the 12-13 season. Karlsson played 17 games that season.

Amazing stat.
Happy with the win over Wild. Should wrap up this series within 5 games.

woo good for the bruins with 3 goals in 5 minutes. I hope this series heats up.

Avs-hawks would have been a much more exciting round 2. Chicago is going to steamroll over Minnesota
-
I think they would have man handled Colorado too....
Which ever California team pulls through should be a good opponent.....
-
Colorado would have been iffy. I'm actually more confident about the Blackhawks versus the Cali teams. The Kings were a hiccup last year and even though they pulled it out against the Sharks this year, the Hawks seem to get under Quick easily. Anaheim I'm not sure about but I think they could do fine.
-
I just think no way Colorado could out gun Chicago and they would have been spent....
The Cali teams have a chance to choke things up and keep the game close...
People can get bummed on Chicago and Boston being really good again, but anything remotely close to a dynasty is amazing......pretty early to even bring that up but....
-
Fairly early to make a call like that, but it has merit. I think we'll be there about's for the next few years.
Scary to think Towes, Kane, Leddy, Kruger, Shaw & Saad are all 26 & under.

What an absolute heart breaker last nights game was . . .
So many missed opportunities and failed odd-man rushes in the 2nd . . .
Things started looking much better in the 3rd, but it was too little too late.
I hate to say it, but it's as if Boston can't just play "consistent" hockey; they're either on or they're not.
Game 4 needs to be a strong one for sure!

you are being far to kind. that game was terrible, they showed signs of life for very little of the end of the second and then again in the end of the third. The only time we were able to hold onto the puck even at all was when montreal was already more than content with just playing defense as they had the lead and even then they shut us down in the neutral zone for most of it.
The play where nobody on the ice had realized the power play was up and allowed subban that break away was more than pathetic and to have it happen to patrice even though it was more dougie hamiltons fault is still astounding. i wont be forgetting that bonehead play anytime soon.
Montreal took control of the game, they kept the tempo and even played more physical than us. It looked like we were playing with no heart from the beginning of the game.
-
I agree boston was sloppy, couldn't even get into the offensive zone consistently.
was a total bummer watching montreal get like 3 breakaways.
I gotta give it up to the Minnesota wild they were flying around the ice in the 3rd period making the blackhawks look bad.
anyway I think the penguins take game 4 at msg tonight in a close game.

Carlyle turned the team into one of the worst puck possession and worst defensive teams in the NHL, was behind the bench in the collapse in game 7, behind the bench when they lost 8 straight in March, made terrible roster decisions all season long, and preferred playing shittier players with grit than better players with skill. What exactly has he done for him to warrant a two year contract extension?
The fact that Nonis is a lame duck GM doesn't help anything either. Nonis will have to work miracles this summer in order for this team to have a season like 2012-13.
-
The Bruins finally play a rather dominate game against Montreal, effectively containing Subban throughout most of the game.
That 3rd line for the Bruins is paying off dividends these playoffs.
Rask was getting psychical as well; saw a couple of blocker shots to the head during goal-line pile-ups.
On a side note: Subban acts like a footballer with pads and skates, constantly whining, embellishing, & talking shit. He at one point claimed that he had water sprayed in his face from the Bruins bench & upon replay, revealed nothing of the sort . . .
-
PK Subban... Does PK stand for Poutine King?
-
I agree. the bruins finally made them play their brand of hockey.
and I could watch PK get mad all day. ;D

Like I said, give it time. The game 7 collapse happened when they players on the ice started playing soft for the last ten minutes and then feel back on their heels once Boston scored. The 8 game lose streak was awful, but again, I'm not sure that qualifies as proof of a coach's abillities with a team. Is Ken Hitchcock bad for the blues? Cause the blues only won two of their last twelve regular season games. Carlyle was also behind the bench when the leafs had their first six game win streak since '07 or something.

The Blues won a franchise record 52 games this year and still ended up 2nd in the West. Carlyle's system didn't work considering they gave up 36 shots a game and relied heavily on Bernier to win them games. Bernier went down, Reimer was god awful, goodbye season. The extension makes even less sense because he already had a year left on his contract. I would have rather see how well he'd do during the last year of his current deal than get rewarded... after watching the season collapse like a cheap tent. He said multiple times during that losing streak that he had no clue what was going wrong, which is weird considering the Leafs defensive issues were an issue all season.

as much as I want boston to win tonight I think montreal will win and push it to 7 games for boston to close it out at home.
wouldn't be mad if boston did win tonight tho.
I think the LA kings win on the road since they won game 1 and 2 in Anaheim already.

pathetic and disgusting attempt by the bruins to play hockey and as if it couldnt get any worse the end of the game wasnt even hockey anymore, it was a bunch of 3 year old toddlers throwing an undeserved hissy fit on the ice.
and one more thing: Chara, you think maybe you want to try and do anything to pacioretty on that break away you gave him? push him, dive at him throw a shoe at him, do fucking something seriously you let him go untouched because what you didnt want a penalty.

Kind of saw it coming even when they were in control during that series they weren't playing at the level they played the last few months of the regular season. I really dont like how they reacted with their emotions instead of using their heads when we were down but what can you do.

One of my cousins on my mom's side is a Canuck, Chris Tanev. The Rangers are running high on emotion and confidence right now, and if Nash could get it going like he did after he was named to Team Canada, Montreal is in for a hell of a series.

They got their work cut out for them. The Kings are the peskiest team this year. Every time it looks like they're done, boom, they're back. I forget who said it in a post-game but he mentioned that they've been described as a team of cockroaches and that's pretty accurate. I think this will be the first series for them that doesn't take all 7 games.

Im a big Rangers fan. I would not count them out. This isnt like the 09-10 Philly team that miracled their way into the finals, the Rangers are actually a talented team. Hank is the best goalie LA will face, he played game six lights out. The Rangers have rallied around MSLs mothers passing and Dom Moore moving on from the death of his wife. They are playing some emotional hockey, and they will put up a fucking fight. I see Hank stealing this one and Dom Moore coming through. We also have Ryan McDonagh. Rick Nash is getting going. Rangers have D, forward depth, some playmakers. We got just as much talent as LA and a better net-minder.

LA will probably smoke them first 2 games at home. Lundquist isn't exactly a game changer with Quick at the other end. I don't see how NY can win a series vs LA, they got it all.. LA kills penalties, dont give up anything, and are huge.. NY is going to lose case closed

I mean i do still play here and there especially when the ponds start to freeze in the winter but its not like skating thats for sure.
you ever play?
No I never played any organized sports ever which partially led me to skateboarding.....through college and up until like last year or something I played ball hockey....I was a hack at best....same as skateboarding.....I know I won't skate forever, but I don't get it n skating or anything to be that into it....and then go cold turkey......
I feel for the guy though because of how he got taken out.....coach V I could tell always liked him...played him whenever he could....

Best preview of the Finals I've read so far. I'm cheering for LA but you can't count out New York, especially if Quick plays the way he did against Chicago. It's my favourite Finals matchup in a long time.

Rick Nash is fuckin useless
-
j soy it looks like Bylsma might be your guy next season
-
Fucking amazing if it is....but honestly.....I think there are teams that are established that would boot out what they have for Shero and Bylsma....it instantly brings stability......
I know it though.....the team still had a way to go.....every second decision ownership makes is bad.....everyone is getting better....
What are you talking about.....RIck Nash is a phenom.....coming up the wing...cutting....and ripping a wrister......when the team is already up two goals....in preseason.....

Just give the cup to the Kings already.

Rangers never deserved to be in the finals anyway.

Rangers never deserved to be in the finals anyway.
NY just lost 2 games in OT after being up 2, that wears on you. Kings are the team to take advantage of any chokejobs, but NY played a hell of a finals so far despite tonight's loss. All they need is to win game 4 and get a tough win in LA, hockey anything is possible.

I'd be less bummed if Bettman said....'oops we made a mistake....Boston gets the cup!'
-
I hope the Rangers get a fire under them and pull through because I'd like to see another underdog story and have another team jump into the Cup pool instead of the same four teams. At the very least, just complete it and make the Kings play seven games all four rounds.
-
It'd be tough for Quick to shut the Rangers out back to back. I don't think the Kings will sweep, but I'd be surprised if they managed to not win one more.

Spezza requests a trade out of Ottawa and the Leafs really want Dan Boyle.
Regarding the Leafs, I have ZERO hope in their management because Nonis is a lameduck GM and an idiot.

Spezza should be kicked out the door, one of the worst team captains of all time. There is no redemption, it's either get out of Ottawa or continue playing for a horrible team, easy choice. Spexxa might fit in Buffalo or Anaheim, both need a player like him.
Great win by Lundy tonighit, you could see just enjoyment wining a cup finals game, this series is not over NY had a lead in most games so far, and it looked easy for em

I wouldn't say these are unbeatable but they definitely aren't horrible

Quick was fine. He certainly had his ups and downs, and he definitely stepped it up in the finals. I don't care how good the rest of the team plays, you don't win the whole damn thing if your goaltender is horrible.
And lets not forget that teams like Chicago, Anaheim, and San Jose are some of the top offensive teams in the league.
-
The kings just out worked and out battled in offense and defense.....goal tending quick showed up when he really needed to and he's a top 5'r for sure but I think it was the kings work ethic and tenacity that made you know they were taking it.....
If it went to seven....I bet lunquist would have been a strong candidate for MVP......Even if they lost.

Quick is arguably the best goalie in the league, anchored by an amazing defense. It's hockey a team game individual stats mean nothing if you don't WIN

I'm not saying that Quick isn't a great goalie but he wasn't at his absolute best this postseason. Definitely not as great as he was the last time they won a cup and not as good as other periods. He stepped it up when he needed to but it was mostly his defense taking away shots and doing their jobs so Quick didn't get barraged by shots on goal like Lundqvist (for example) did.
And Tracer--you can't say that "Quick was unbeatable again" and then turn around and say that "individual stats don't matter." An unbeatable goalie doesn't give up two goals on the two shots at him in a period (for example).

Agreed.....

If Bernier doesn't get injured, I would say the Leafs have a good shot of finishing 6th-8th. Phaneuf finally has a guy who can log minutes and let him play on the left side in Robidas (the guy was skating alongside Kessel and Nylander, two fastest forwards on the the team, he's 100% healthy) and the bottom six is completely revamped, filled with guys who have strong puck possession numbers and can actually play hockey. They can also finally roll 4 lines because they waived Orr and McLaren today, couldn't be happier about that.

Third team: 2nd overall. I don't think this team is as strong since this group of friends all are so into hockey, and advanced stats like I am.

Yep....TO could grab the last playoff spot but man....everyone is just waiting for them to implode to change management....shouldn't make a difference on the ice but I bet it does.....Didn't Nylander get sent back? Robidas? You're buying it eh?

I'm all for Carlyle getting canned, but Nonis didn't have a bad offseason whatsoever because the majority of the teams moves were heavily influenced by the kid who will most likely be the next GM, Dubas. Nylander going back to Sweden is a smart move because the kid is tiny, and he needs to develop, and the Swedish League is more competitive and skilled than the AHL, as the AHL is filled with NHL castaways and one dimensional goons like Orr and McLaren who can't play hockey. Robidas was able to log big minutes in Anaheim after the first leg break, and he looked solid in training camp and alongside Phaneuf in the preseason. It's like he never broke his leg at all.
-
Shanny has his guys and Nonis will be the odd man out...everyone is just waiting for Carlyle to get sacked...I'm gonna guess the players feel the same way,,..Robidas is 37....he's a good guy to have around but a full season with the leafs is a long season.....

That was insane. There was no reason for that goal to go in. Sucks the Hawks lost in overtime though. I'm hoping they can pull it off and win two straight, but they've been severely outplayed this series for the most part.

It's really experience and being able to see how to force small errors and taking advantage of them. That's one of the Hawks' biggest strengths. Plus, their coach almost overthinks games and is willing to make adjustments on the fly or stick to plans that are difficult or inconvenient. That's what happened in the last two games against Anaheim.

And yet again Ryan Getzlaf was Captain No Show when his team needed him most. He was a floating passenger the entire WCF that did nothing. I'm not even talking about filling up stats. He did NOTHING. That will be his legacy. Getzlaf has done nothing of consequence since Pronger and Neids have been gone. Sure he piles up the stats during the regular season, and looks great in boxscores, but he has no heart when it matters most and is a terrible captain. I'm not even entirely sure he ever really wanted to be captain of that team.

What to think about this season?
Im a Devils fan and I like the changes this team has going through. But it is pretty hectic in the eastern conference, as always.
What is it about a rape charge that brings the best out in a professional athlete? (Kane)
Glad to see the Penguins turned their game around since the holiday break. I'll be watching the Devils tonight too
-
Can't wait to watch the Cup Final in June when it's 30 degrees outside... ::)
-
The last thing I expected today was to watch the Bruins lose 6-2 against the Ducks.
-
I grew up in Detroit and Flint so I'm a longtime Wings fan. Hockey is pretty much the only sport that I really follow.
I'm waiting for Washington to have a spectacular collapse in the east to end the season, hoping the Wings make it to the second round and my prediction for the cup finals would be Florida and Dallas
-
I can see things getting interesting in the last stretch of the regular season....
Gotta wonder if teams like Washtington or Dallas are for real and can you bet against the Hawks or the Kings....
I'm with Tracer on the length of the season....should start earlier and be shorter.....
My team the Canucks might squeeze in with the wacky new play off format....our division less the Kings sucks....we might be able to suck less than everyone else.....
-
They have a good mix...,just not sure if they can handle a best of 7.....
Got to see Ovie this year and it was so sick...just an animal....even in he stands when he winds up people duck.....
I think the Habs will squeeze in and make things tough on a well placed team.....
-
I've had the immense misfortune of being a Habs fan this season.
-
Got back from my NY trip yesterday. Was meant to go see Islanders vs Flyers on Saturday. Jonas made damn sure that didn't happen.
Well gutted. Was really looking forward to my first hockey game.
-
Caps are my team and while I love how they're playing, I learned years ago to not hold my breath. Just hopeful.
They are definitely light years ahead of the caps team of old. This team is the real deal and one of my favorites to watch this season. As for Dallas, I think they are explosive but Ruff keeps messing with the lines and the chemistry of the team, not to mention when the game is up for grabs in the third period he essentially only plays one line and dallas is too good to allow him to screw up their season. BMCsteve that is one crazy finals prediction you have there bud. I love how young and talented florida is, but they are no where near cup ready. J soy, if montreal gets into the playoffs it will be nothing short of a miracle. They are a mess and i dont think price coming back sometime in late february will change their luck all too much.
I think the caps win if they play the kings because they can get away with having a weaker defense against the kings offense, but my prediction is caps vs hawks and I would root for the caps but think the hawks get it done again unless the capitals make a defensive pick up before the deadline
-
Got to see the Hawks lose horribly to Florida last week. Some buddies came down from Chicago and it was awesome to go see the game live (even though the outcome sucked). We were 8 rows up from the glass and the tickets were only about $150 which is insane since that will barely get you standing room at the United Center lately.
I'm definitely hoping for the Hawks to win the Cup and they seem to be in a good place to do so right now. The second line with Kane, Panarin, and Anisimov is ridiculous and Crawford is having one of his best seasons. Should that not happen though, I'm rooting for the Stars (I like Niemi and Sharp) or a team like the Caps to win it. Ovi and T.J. Oshie are great players and it's always cool to watch a team work hard and win their first Cup.
-
I hitched my trailer to the islanders as warped way to spite Edmonton fans a few years back....'I bet you these guys turn it around before you do..'
-
Edmonton is getting an epic new arena next year, so you can pay 500 instead of 400 to see the worst in the league!

Thoughts on this?
Gotta See It: Wideman plows into referee after scary hit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj4PoDrqv-E&app=desktop#)
-
Refs are told not to stand near the benches. Pussy ref flopped! No player can risk a too many penalty with some dumbass ref in his way. Much better the player is safe than the ref, it's what people pay to see
Pussification has been thrown around here lately, this definitely applies. Not like Wideman Bertuzzi'd the ref and ended his career
-
Nope....no bite on that one.....
Any of you guys read playerstribune.com. Some good hockey stuff.....it'd be sick if skating did something like it....
The John Scott article is good....
-
Jackman seemed to like it. Gave Wideman a nice little tap like, "nice hit."
seems like a gutless, bush move and his explanation was laughable.
-
Why are people so outraged????
It's a violent sport shit happens ffs
Since when did fans start caring about refs?

I'm not outraged but I hate grown ass men that don't own up to their shit. He clearly hit him intentionally because the ref blew the call. Fine, own up to it, take your suspension and move on.
The pussification isn't the people watching, it's the guys playing. Do you think Grimson, Probert or Domi would have said "oh I just didn't know I was trying to get off the ice and didnt see him"

oh youre from vancouver right? Bure was one of my favorites, he had wheels. definitely made me want to skate with a parachute attached.
the avalanche roster is stacked and detroit has conklin playing nets so ya should be a blood bath. 100 bucks says yzerman deals drouin out of anger between periods

He mentioned part of what hurt him was all the rigorous training.....it made him though....it was so rad seeing him get the puck and you knew something would happen.....
Actually though I was a big Mogilny fan when he was in Buffalo....it was a sick era of hockey....So many guys could score.....
-
Playoffs start Wednesday, time to bump this thread.
As a Rangers fan, I have to admit I don't see us going to far this year. The East is going to be a battle. I wouldn't pencil Pitt or Washington into the finals. Everyone in the East is bitter enough rivals with Pitt and Washington to win those series, but I couldn't imagine any team having anything left after that. But it'd be nice to see someone beside LA/Chicago take the cup.
Who are you guys rooting for?
-
I'm a Hawks fan so I'm rooting for them, but I think it'll be a tough series. My projection is Hawks and Capitals for the Cup. Ovechkin is on a tear this year and it seems like his entire team is finally catching up to his level.
-
I have Philly to upset Wash. in my bracket. Not being cheeky or gambling just honestly think they're gunna win
NYR vs DET in ECF
CHI vs LAK in WCF
Rangers/ Kings final
KINGS WIN!

Bure and mogilny were both sick! Bure might just be the best pure goal scorer ever, its him or mike bossy lol.
My fav was always yzerman, great all around player
I got to see the oilers in their prime against winnipeg in the 80s and it was fuckin rediculous! So much fuckin talent on one team. And you could hear messier skate like he was breaking the fuckin ice.
I loved the 80s and early 90s hockey. I still watch but its waaay different now.
And if the oilers win #1 pick in the draft this year the whole city should be burned to the ground

If the Hawks don't win, I want it to be someone who hasn't won the cup yet (but not the Blues) or at least in a long-time.

Pens win.
I also think nashville - washington in the final will equal some very good and intresting hockey.

Jesus, the level at which Ovechkin is playing is ridiculous. The Flyers are barely able to keep up. Orpik's concussion was pretty fucked. Hope he's ok, that shit is scary.
Bracket=busted! Washington looks unbeatable as usual, which means they get swept in round 2. Ovechkin is great because he could play in Russia for twice the money but stays in the NHL because it's the best league. He's my favorite player for that reason alone, Kovalchuk should be digging for a Devils series win right now, fucking asshole!

While we're talking Russians.....if the Blues get bounced....hitch will be out of a job....and watch out for Teresenko.....
I'm pulling for the isles because I hitched my trailer to them to spite Edmonton fans years back.....'the islanders will make the playoffs before you do' and the Sharks.....because I'm a Canucks fan and can identify with a team who can never seem to get it done.....this could be the year when all the planets are in alignment.....
-
Dallas is going to win the cup
-
I don't think their goaltending will hold up.....
-

I think he'll be out if the Blues get anything less than the Cup to be honest. They have the Hawks on the ropes now, but I think it'll be too little, too late. Plus, he's kind of been talking down on his own team. Like not realistic, but super depressive and pessimistic. I could see people not wanting that attitude to persist and fester, even if they get past round one.
-
Hawks gonna prove why their a championship team tonight. Big game from Shaw and Keith. Turning point in the playoffs tonight
-
Shaw's suspended (rightfully) so we'll see what happens.
-
Dreadful feeling that I'll be watching the last Red Wings game of the year tonight
-
How about the last playoff game for a bit.......
I think the days of selecting superstars in the seventh round are over......
-
Im just bummed the blackhawks are already on the ropes. Yeah they could come back and win, buts its no way to start a playoff run.
Adios detroit. Bummer to see datsick consider retiring
-
Between the Hawks and the Kings....you'd think one team might claw their way back.....playoffs is a season onto itself and so they're may just be in a slump....
-

Oh for sure! But going 7 games in the first series def doesnt help.
-
It doesn't help with the exhaustion, but I think Hawks are a strong enough team mentally, mainly from the coaches and that core, that if they go 7, they'll be able to push those doubts aside and focus on winning round two. I think if it goes to 7 and the Blues win, they'll carry on while still being shook up that they almost let it slip away.
-
Doesnt help they ran onto a red hot terasenko.
I hope chicago pulls through and I agree with you.
The hawks are def used to the grind.
Toews is a beast too. That guy wants the cup moreso than anyone in the NHL. Reminds me of Yzerman
-
Yep. Toews is willing to do whatever it takes to win a Cup. Saw that last year during the Ducks series when he scored two goals in like game 5 or 6 to tie the game--one of which was from the boards at the goal line.
I get a similar feel from Ovechkin. I think he wants the Cup so bad and although the Caps are having a great season, he's willing to shoulder everyone to get there.

Yep ovie is up there too! Guy scares the shit outta me the way he hits. Im always fearful of an injury
If the caps can get a series or two under the belt ovechkin is gonna go bonkers on the hits
-
You guys have to bring in the STB factor too eh? You know......shit the bed......it's the playoffs.....you down a goal going into the third can be almost an upper hand.....same goes in a series...if the Sharks or Blues drop the next one.....oh boy...
-

Yeah we see that every year.
Thats one reason to win in 4 or 5 and move on! Easier said than done though lol
-
Hey....Canucks fan....we've done it at every level.....
-
Pens looked great last night. Just super hungry but I feel like if a team comes at them in the next round with more physicality it could really throw a fly in the ointment. Also can't count on Lundqvist rolling over for this next game so we'll see.
I thought the Blues had it won last night but also always kind of assume the Hawks will find a way to grind until they win. Kane's GWG was total Kane.
Thinking Caps and Stars will win their series tonight and Kings will maybe wake up and help kickstart the Sharks post-season shartfest.
-
I learned my lesson to not get too comfortable when it comes to my Sharks having a lead in a series for obvious reasons hoping they'll finish out this series against LA. Fingers crossed.
-
Sharks.
Hockey hockey hockey!
-
Kings got embarrassed they had a lead for 3 minutes the whole series! Detroit got buried too but it wasn't that ugly.
If Neuvirth keeps playing like this watch out Washington..
-
Game 7 baby. What a game.
-
Game 7 baby. What a game.
Dynasty

Amazing hawks, amazing.

The kings are capable of sucking every second year.....I won't be surprised if Brown gets dealt in the next year....
As good as a coach hitch is....I think players don't always want to play for him....if he loses...he's gone for sure...

Crapitals vs Pitt should be a dandy, battle of FLA would be sick too

Chicago Shithawks.

I hate the Penguins so much. I'm going to be stressed on this.
The way Pitt just dismantled Lundqvist and stunted the Rangers' somewhat potent offense, they look bound for the cup. Granted, Washington is a much better team than NYR. But Pitt is getting stellar play throughout their lineup. Everyone from Bonino to Crosby, Sheary to Letang is tearing it up. They look unstoppable. Should be the best series this year. Whoever wins it is going to the finals. I mean they'll get either the Islanders or a banged up Lightning squad. No contest there.
-
Pitts vrs caps is gonna be insane!!!
This is a match up that even has bettman jizzing in his suit

Whatever man, go find a chill girl.

Never a robot he used to be really really creative and after the concussion he simplified his game a bit which has only really hurt his goal scoring abilities and he's a little closer to ppg than the 100 pt mark every season

Yep.
And i dont hate crosby either. I think hes a very good embassador for the game and you cannot say he isnt talented.

No one can deny Crosby's talent and I have no doubts that like a lot of players, he's super appreciative of his fans (I think he hooked up a Senators superfan who has this rare skin condition with a bunch of tailored suits from his personal tailor to wear to the games because he gets to sit with the scouts), but he's definitely very whiney and will kick and scream at the smallest perceived slight. At least it doesn't seem like the NHL is blowing smoke up his ass as much as they used to.

In other news the fuckin oilers finally dont get 1st pick!!!!
do you still play at all ricks?
also orpik got 3 games for the hit on maata
Good for Orpik!
Yeah I play mens league and I volunteer assistant coach in atom level(11/12 year olds)
You play?
I was in a men's league for awhile but school and life shit got in the way. I've been playing pick up once a week with a bunch of old friends but our rink closes for the summer next week so I don't know what I'll do, I'll probably go crazy lol
Cool!
Yeah our rink shut down two weeks ago, always a bummer.
I went extra hard this year too trying to get in great shape for skateboarding.
First session I could walk for 2 days hahahaha
Its coming back though. Feels great to be back on the board thats for sure!
-
3 games is bullshit that's a 2 minute interference penalty. This is the playoffs...!! They call it a "high hit" because a bigger guy clocked him?? Should Orpik get on his knees to hit the guy?
NHL is getting too pussy, Scott Stevens threw those borderline hits his whole career and got praised for it. Today you get fined and suspended...
Games moving a lot faster now and they are making movies about NFL players who turn into vegetables.....any hit to the head will become like drawing blood on a high stick....the game will look like international hockey soon....which is sick if it was USA vs Russia...but a lot of nights it'll look like the Swiss vs. Germany....
I think the league and a lot of hockey fans....we're looking to suspend Orpik.....
The leafs getting first pick....sick....another Canadian team wasting a perfectly good star.....you think if Seguin went to Edmonton he'd be what he is? Tavares? The Leafs will bury that kid.....

Sick of the NHL baby-ing these visor wearing clowns, you are playing hockey so keep your head up. Trotz went off on it too
NHL pretends they care about player safety, yet you can have a bareknuckle boxing match with no infraction ??? ???

I used to watch a lot of the giants games in junior and you can see exactly what will happen.....1) visors mandatory/grandfather 2) penalty for helmet coming off in a fight.....
Suddenly you have two guys punching each other in the visor......
How many fights are there in games that matter? It'll somewhat be around but not part of the game the way it use to....hitting...they'll start looking at....'did you ever think you were going to get the puck?' Hitting came about due to incidental contact....it was refined and perfected...
As much as they hit like that in the 90's.....they didn't in the 70's....or even before that.....it's way more open now....dudes are way bigger and faster....sooner or later the league will do something....they did something about the clutching and grabbing....bench clearing brawls and scrums..this will happen....

That's not true at all. It's a speed game now with little guys flying around wrecklessly. Take Nugent Hopkins for example.. It's dangerous because of the big hitters like Orpik. Stevens would be in prison if he played in todays NHL
Fighting is necessary though, you can't tell 2 grown men not to punch each other silly on ice skates.. It's a spectacle and the crowd loves it. Fights rarely happen in the playoffs you can't have a goon taking roster spots.
-
I miss when goons had a spot on the roster.
They are slowly being phased out of the game
Your right though tracer, no room for a goon type in the playoffs
There will still be some fights though, and i will watch and enjoy.
And fuck pittsburgh is up 2-1 now

Yeah but they're out Letang for a game and Maata for longer. Maata was kind of playing like garbage, not saying I'm glad he got hit, but he was kind of a liability the game before the hit, sooooooo....
I'd be very surprised if the Pens could squeak out a win without Letang, though, especially the way the Caps lit Murray up in the 3rd period. No way they're coming in quietly next game.
-
Well.... they did. Pretty damn frustrating to watch.
Fuck Ill say

i'm an islanders fan so i'm biased, but the refs kinda blew it last night in game 4. At one point there were two pucks on the ice at the same time.
and barclays is a shitty place to play/watch hockey, at least compared to the coliseum.

Big bounce back game for the Sharks, hoping they close it out next game.

Think blues and pitts will pull through....but hope sharks and lightning do.....
They don't call penalties so the blues will play their game and grind em.....Pitts goaltending will be the difference even if fleury is in....

Bold statement though.....
I would have thought the blues would be grinding them up....
-
how good is the east tracer?
-
The east is mathematically better than the west because there's 2 more teams
San Jose are known choke artists, when it's all said and done I'll be laughing. I don't give them much of a chance in game 4
-
I've picked the Sharks so many times......
The way St.Louis handled Dallas....I think they might find a way to choke out the Sharks....
-
Conference finals not doing it for me this year. Hope the finals are better games.
-
Tracer just kill me rn
-
And yet, the Blues sure made Jones and Reimer look like shit last night. Elliot hasn't been as good as Tracer thinks, but it's hard to count them out. Also, terrible decision by Sullivan to put in Fleury over Murray, especially since Fleury up until tonight hadn't played a full game in nearly 3 months.
Did Carolina go back to Gerber after he shit the bed against Montreal in the first two games back in the 2006 playoffs? Fuck no they didn't and the rest is history for them.
-
Tampa doesn't have their 1 goalie in either. Making Crosby and Malkin look like AHLers! When people think Tampa they think Stamkos.. They got so much more. Drouin Johnson and Kucherov are unreal, the atmosphere in Pitts was great tonight but rightfully snuffed out by the better team. Nothing like NHL playoffs in all of sports, only took 53 seconds to clear the building in OT
-
People won't be thinking about Stamkos when they think of Tampa for much longer...
-
I know he had to go for the sake of the rebuild, but I'll always miss Kessel as a Leaf.

-
I'm pretty fucking stoked right now.
-
Sharks earned it, they finally figured out playoff hockey. Regular season means nothing on the ice it's a totally different game.
I hope Tampa can bounce back tomorrow but Pitt/ SJ might be a better series...
-
Stoked to find out that SJ won, not only because I dislike the Blues, but it's always cool to see a new team get a chance at the Cup.
-
Tampa had an unreal season but now it's PITT VS SJ in the Stanley Cup Finals! Penguins are a lock to win Sharks can't keep up with their speed
-
You got it flipped....Sharks are deadly.....I wouldn't want to freewheel against these guys....they played their game all the way through and it's worked....Jones is the most consistent goalie of the playoffs and doing it super quietly....just can they keep it up? ..
Stoked to see them in it.....goes to show you how close everything is....not much of a different team from last year....
-
I wish kessel stayed in toronto.
Now im rooting on pitts just to see him win a ring and laugh at all the to fans that said he was fat and useless
And I hope reimer gets a big contract too just to say fuck you toronto
-
I'd be happy either way since both of these teams would be different Cup winners, but I'm pulling for SJ since it would be their first one.

Why? Reimer was just a backup with injury and consistency issues. If he was in the Leafs future plans, they wouldn't have sold him off for essentially a 4th (now 3rd) round pick from two years from now. Reimer will get a big contact in free agency, only because the goaltending market is weak, given the other best UFA goalie available is Cam Ward.
It's clear the only way kessel produces is when he's around good players.....so.....that was never going to happen in Toronto....
Because the talent gap between Bonino-Hagelin and Bozak-JVR is really significant ::). Kessel's an unreal player, but evidently he can't be the best forward on your team if you the team to succeed. Kessel's a perfect fit in Pittsburgh; doesn't have to be the best player on the team nor does he have to be in the spotlight. Sullivan's system has worked wonders for Pittsburgh's roster as a whole. Couldn't be happier that Kessel is getting the respect he deserves.

Exactly.....its the rest of the roster and the expectations.......
Reimer ain't getting a big contact man.....he just isn't.....he may get A contact....but pretty much no goalie is worth a big contract....look who was in the final 4....

Reimer is the best goalie available in free agency. The best players within the free market always get overpaid for their services, it's nothing new. Given Calgary and Carolina need a goalie, as does Dallas if they could dump one of Lehtonen or Niemi, there will be competition for his services. Money talks, and Reimer will get it.

Ward is 4 years older and Reimer has put up better numbers playing with the fucking Leafs.

That's all true but Reimer hasn't been any teams starting goalie long enough. Ward has a cup and is totally solid, anything can happen with fukkin JAmes Reimer lmao
-
No ones gonna sign a goalie to a BIG contract.....Tukka Rask....that's a big contract....Reimers 28...Ward is 32..they ain't getting better...how much would you pay these guys.....who's in the finals?
If Reimer never played in TO....no one would know...or care.....

What Ward did a decade ago as a rookie is basically irrelevant given he's put up incredibly average numbers since. Despite the lack of games played, Reimer is the better goalie right now. The NHL is a "what have you done for me lately league?" as evident by coaches like Hartley getting fired a year removed after winning the Jack Adams.

RIP Gordie Howe
GOAT he even has his own hattrick= goal, assist and fight all in one game. True legend! Saskatoon has their flags at half mast today in honor. Hockey is a huge fucking deal in Canada because of players like Howe... Cup is going back to Cali I hope we get game 7 in Penn
Nick... you want reliability in a goalie... Putting up above average goalies for a team like Caro will be highly sought after

Can't believe I'm going against my own advice and taking the bait but Reimer had better numbers on the worst team in the nhl this year than ward did. Ward is 4 years older and the canes had a decent young team this season, definitely better than Toronto who was again the worst team in hockey. Unless I missed something no one called Reimer a top flight goal tender but besides fleury he's probably a teams best option at a goalie acquisition in the off season. and I'm definitely not a leafs fan I'm just not stupid.
Also Crosby had 3 gwg's in that Tampa bay series but you are totally right he looked like an ahler

Yeah cause you can't come up with shit like most Leaf fans. No one wants Reimer he has no accolades and you guys still tout him as a hot commodity. Sit down

both goalies are worthless....
Teams might take one to tandem w. someone younger but you could never pay them that much....
Met Gordie Howe....exactly what everyone says....big fists....he was sitting down but seemed taller than me....tried to make you feel important by chatting a bit....did the elbow while getting my photo and I didn't know what he was doing.....dude did so much....as a player...the work he did for the players union....bouncing to the WHA to get paid....shit was so lopsided for the owners...he helped change that....
his wife had picks disease which you could tell was so rough on him but he kept going....seemed like a real pro....

Ward re-signed with Carolina on a two year contract worth 3.3M per season. If he can get 3.3M per given his numbers have been worse than Reimer's over the past few years... it really wouldn't surprise me to see Reimer get around 3.5M if not more barring the demand on the free agent market.
Tracer is also an idiot.

Been a huge fluery supporter since day 1 in Pittsburgh.
Rallied for him when he got bumped to Wilkes barre and got to meet him and get my jersey signed in 08. Nicest dude and I'll always have memories of his efforts for the pens' cups but I'm okay with seeing him go at this point.
It's kinda crazy how quickly everyone in Pittsburgh stopped celebrating the cup.. City would have felt it so much more if they closed in game 5

Fucking right! Not as great as his shorty against LA (Kopitar, Doughty, and Quick) in 2014. As a diehard Bruins fan I can say it's about time Brad Marchand is getting credit for his skill, and not his borderline plays.
Hell of a player, and stoked on his new contract.
-
It's Bergeron......

It's Bergeron......
What's Bergeron? Did you watch the link? It's Marchand's WC winning short handed goal.. that is unless for whatever reason we are getting dif videos. I'm pretty sure as someone who's not missed a single Bruins game I'd be able to tell the difference between Bruins alternate captain Patrice Bergeron, and the nose.
Unless you are implying Marchand is good because of being Bergeron's line mate, which is strongly suggest to you that you'd read the numerous analytical articles detailing how the two players boost each other's game in nearly every facet of play.

Playoffs bump, who's everyone rooting for? I'm behind the Wild as always

So im looking forward to Pittsburgh vrs chicago

Nashville - Montreal in the final. Nashville takes Lord Stanley.

Still hard to bet against Chicago......
Wanna see Washington do some damage this year finally too....

Charlie McAvoy impressed hugely in his NHL debut lastnight with the Bruins!
Here's hoping there's no more injuries or need to call up anymore D prospects though.
I was surprised to see the Sharks take game one of their series, as I feel like the Oilers are a pretty solidly built team from the net outwards. I guess this is where having little playoff experience from the young kids is going to bite them in the ass.
-
Yeah experience helps tons. The leafs have a great young team but I expect them to get annihilated in the first round because of this.
But the leafs and oilers need the experience, so have at er. It would be awesome if both made it through the first round.
Im happy Boston won. I fuckin hate Ottawa. I wish karlesonn(sp?) would just leave already.
Pittsburgh taking game one was no shocker. Anything less than a cup for Pitts or Chicago is a letdown season

Normally I would too, but I don't want them taking out the leafs.
But if they do, I hope they win the fuckin cup
I was bummed we (leafs) lost the last game, I wanted to play Ottawa waaa?y more than the caps
Personally I think the caps will take the leafs in 5 and I'll be out a hundred bucks

I've never been a fan of Zach Kassian until lastnight.
What a performance! He was out there punishing everything in his path, like some runaway freight train. Sobriety and conditioning has served him well.
As much as I want to see the Habs bounced asap they deserved to win lastnight's game.
-
Pekka Rinne. Im speechless.

Anderson has been stellar for the leafs too! Big win last night.
Biggest surprise so far is Chicago taking an ass whooping

Minnesota sports as a whole really are cursed. God just hates us. Did anyone see Polak's injury yesterday? That was nasty, I hope it doesn't end his career, but there have to be some torn ligaments in there. That was awful.

It's always gross to see the skate fold 180 degrees behind the player like that. Not surprised it came as a result of a Brooks Orpik hit (despite the fact it was a clean hit).
Wild being a team that plays a defense first system while lacking scorers is catching up to them. Jake Allen standing on his head doesn't help either. Bruins are in somewhat of a similar situation in that they lack major scorers outside the top line, but at least with the Bruins that top line is likely top 3 in the entire league (Maybe even tops - Marchand, Bergeron, Pastrnak).

Similar thing here, broke my ankle in february and I'm still five and a half weeks out from walking thanks to a disconnected ligament. I can't imagine how bad a totally blown out ligament must be. Speedy recovery to both of you guys

We definitely have scorers, but we have so many that it's spread out. Staal led the team with only 28 goals, but we were 2nd in the league in goals for. I'm really conflicted over Jake Allen though. Living in the Chicagoland area, I'm a Chicago Wolves fan so I'm glad to see a product of their system doing so well in the league (Eddie Lack too, for that matter), I just wish it wasn't against my team.

Fuck, heal up quick man!
My knee injury is fucked, specialist says at least a year and there is a possibility I'll never fully recover. I do physio 4x a day and after 4 months I just took my first steps without crutches. I still need them but I was starting to think I might not ever walk again, scary shit.
I cant even begin to describe the pain. It's 24/7 for the first few months. So bad opiates hardly help and you can't eat or sleep.
Good news for polak is Im sure he'll get better medical care than me lol.
Don't sleep on the leafs guys. They are a year or so behind the oilers in development. Clearly they won't win the cup this year but they'll be strong contenders over the next few years.
Looks like Pitts is gonna sweep, big advantage for them IF the caps/Chicago make it out of the first round
-
Toronto fans generally speaking annoy the ever living fuck out of me, but part of me wants to see them upset the Caps just for how incredible it would be.
If that does not happen then I hope Caps and Pens absolutely decimate each other in the following round.
I wouldn't mind seeing Edmonton or St. Louis win it all.

I just don't dig how similar the Sens fans resemble Montreal fans since the start of this series.
Generally Bruins fans and Sens fans get along relatively well, and there were times in recent years when we'd consider each other "brothers from a different mother". That is proving not to be the case, and frankly I can't stand Guy Boucher's brand of hockey.

As a Flyers fan, fuck the pens! Now that that's out of the way, the playoffs have been a lot of fun to watch this year. I'm pulling for Toronto since CBJ is blowing it, but mostly I can't wait to see some of the Flyers prospects (especially Lindblom and Meyers) next year. Ivan Provorov is already looking like a Norris trophy type player and that's with Andy Macdonald (worthless junk) as his d partner.
Edit: that shift Matthews just scored on with the two huge hits was awesome

As long as Montreal wins their series I'm happy, that'll be one hell of a round two to watch

Kadris two hits basically won that game. Huge momentum shift. It was a nail biter though.
Taking the caps to ot in three consecutive games bodes well for Toronto. I bet the caps are mighty frustrated

I'm a bruins fan marchands antics piss me off cause we need him on the ice. Kadri is getting pushed out of his own lineup hence the third line remark. After the kids gain a little more experience if kadri can continue to play anywhere near where he is now he will be trade bait for a top 4 defender. Think about it if he can score close to thirty his cap hit is good he would get good return but, we all know how good he is with top 6 minutes so where ever he goes his numbers will come back down to earth.

Word on the street is that Wild are shopping around Nino Niedereitter which is quite possibly one of the stupidest things they can do at this moment. Nino is the kind of player we need more of.

What the hell are you talking about? Canada and USA were mostly young guys and the rest of the countries were mostly a mix of NHL prospects and KHL/SHL/Extraliga/etc. pros. I like it better like this honestly, more room for competition and better team chemistry instead of just having a bunch of all-star rosters; plus it gives other countries (see: Germany) a better chance to compete.
How 'bout that trade deadline though?

This tournament already happened a couple months ago - it's called the Spengler Cup. I had zero interest in waking up early to watch former NHL has-beens on Team Canada and USA knowing OAR would end up winning gold anyway since their roster was comprised of the two best teams in the KHL.

Canucks still in tank-mode. I get why, it just makes for painful viewing. Vanek trade nearly killed me, Motte better fulfil some prodigal shit in the next few years.

It's crazy how the Senators went into full fire sale mode this year after going so far in the playoffs last year

I find it hilarious. I hate the sens. By the looks of it they won't be in Ottawa long

it shows how important Bryan murry was to that franchise.
-
Fucking pissed that we lost Suter for the playoffs. We're out quick.
-
Ottawa is gonna lose karlson 😂😂😂😂
Awesome.
Not stoked we play Tampa or Boston first round, but it'll be awesome hockey to watch nonetheless.
I'd rather face Boston out of the two
-
Was worried about having to play Toronto in the first round... not worried at all now!
Bruins came out playing harder in the first than they had in some time, and generally dictated the play the entire game. I don't wanna feel overly confident in this win (as game 2 Toronto is gonna bring it), but there is no reason Boston can't take this.

I'm a leafs fan, but that was brutal to watch. Clearly the B's outplayed the shit outta us

Going to the game between Kings and Golden Knights tomorrow and with Doughty receiving a one game suspension it'll make it much easier for the GKs to steam roll us. I'm not feeling too hopeful for the Kings to pull out a win tomorrow night or even the series. The old "That's so Kings" adage still maintains its relevance. Still super stoked though.
Pretty nuts how there's been three shutouts already.

Good for the kid! He broke a Gretzky record, that's nuts!
Man I hope we can at least play 1-2 good games. This is embarrassing
-
If it makes you feel any better, I don't see the B's taking game 3.
So that would be a great platform to build off of.
-
So glad to see the Wild beat the shit out of Winnipeg, I was getting worried. Hopefully we can keep it up on Tuesday and even things out. It's really hurting us not having Suter out there. Minnesota luck, I guess.

Round 2 Baby! Jake motherfuckin' Debrusk!
Toronto played hard, but my boys pulled it off! Bring on TB!

Bruins all day , sucks they won't get the rest for Tampa but fuck - if they could pull out the W this series i have faith in any series moving forward

Hats off to the bruins! Obviously the better team. I'm actually surprised my leafs took it to game 7, proud of them though.
It's blatantly obvious Gardiner has to go!
Now I'm on the Jets bandwagon. Whomever takes that series will win the cup imo

I was impressed how well the leafs played against the Bergeron line in the later half of the series. Matthews was invisible, but goddamn did Marner ever impress.
Can’t be upset about your team rallying back down 3-1 in the series. Impressive to have pushed it to a game 7.
Jets are also my western pick, and who I want to win it if my Bruins get eliminated.

Your right though, Mathews was a no show and like the last two months of the season, marner showed he's gonna be a bonafide superstar. Reminds me of yzerman(my fav. Player ever)
Good luck bruins! I'd love to see them take out Tampa!
And Winnipeg looks beast. I'd really like to see Boston and winny, that would be an awesome series!

Agreed! I think all Bruins fans have respect for that series and what the leafs managed to do. But in the end Boston was a better team and has so much depth. The DeBrusk Krejci Nash line last night was on fire. The leafs did do a great job at shutting down the Bergy line though.

Agreed. Nash was a beast last night. Honestly surprised he didn't score at least 2. When he wants to play he's a power house.
Debrusk is already having a playoffs to remember, good on the kid.
The fact we had a chance was good enough for me this year. Even if we beat the bruins, we would never made the finals. At least the bruins have the skill/grit needed to possibly make it.
Vegas is still shocking the hell outta me, good for them.
I still think winny takes it but a hungry ovi is fun to watch! Pitts wash is gonna be an epic series!
Playoff hockey! Gotta fuckin love it.

Yup, sorry Silky.. Vegas is taking that series.
I honestly feel like Winnipeg is the only team that can stop them.
My Bruins seem to play TB extremely well, but with Bergeron not being 100%, and McAvoy skating in a knee brace I’m not expecting things to be easy. Should the Bruins advance i’d actually rather they play the Pens than the Caps. Bruins can never seem to beat the Caps, and specifically Holtby.

Daaaamn! That’d be an amazing arena to watch a game. The way sound travels in that building is deafening, and it feels like the crowd is ontop of the ice.
I love the Jets brand of hockey. They are an absolute physical force, and they are immovable physically not to dissimilar to the 2012 Kings. Except unlike that kings team these guys can really put the hurting on. Very punishing team to play a best of 7 against.

Last night's game, Tampa's power play where stankos scored. That might have been the best power play I've ever seen

When talking about Washington, Vegas, and Tampa - I think its safe to say Ovi wants the cup more then any other player on the ice right now. The passion is fuckin real. Would be happy to see Caps or Vegas win at this point.
-
oh ya and fuck “winny”

Good game thus far. I say Vegas in 6 and then hopefully all their fans implode into the vast universe.
-
The Vegas fans maybe have it right...Nashville was the same idea....smashing cars before the game. No media scrutiny and a bunch of fans who are just happy to be there.
Ovi reminds me of Hull....which is why he doesn't need a cup.
-
I had Capitals losing to Jets in the final.
I think Caps takes it this year. If Backstroms hand just gets better, he will can change some games coming up.

Fucking hate the Caps, but its awesome seeing Ovi grow as a leader.
I got goosebumps watching him raise the cup.

I don't think of Brett Hull as a Dallas Star....or Ray Bourque as a Colorado Avalanche guy.....they were great players because they were great players..
I was pulling for Vegas to prove that no one knows what they are talking about....

I got stoked for Ovi seeing his reactions that whole game. Regardless of what team you root for you gotta respect the work he's put in.

I just don't know when this became such a thing....oh he deserves it for working so hard! It's sports man....

He's one of the greatest to ever do it and still probably the most complete player in the league. Well-deserved.

Whoa, ovie is an all time great, but he's far from well rounded. He plays well rounded at times, but not all the time.
He's a pure goal scorer with the added bonus of being physical.
He's a liability alot of times but he's great enough offensively to look past that.
He's no Steve yzerman or Mark messier, that's for certain
-
Yah....although that's what arguably this is all about....this year he did a lot more than just hang out at the hash marks....and was a more complete player than he ever has been....but I dunno about great passer! Amazing on the PK! Always hustles back!

He did have a great year and he did play a more well rounded game. Very nice to see.
Great that he's been hussling back too! But man he's horrible at changing. He'll change mid back check at least 10 times a game. But again, he's too good offensively to give a shit

I could see Arizona in the playoffs, they have a relatively young core and have been taking the right steps the past couple years to become a competitive team

San Jose lost in game 6 in the finals 3 years ago and only got more assets since... wait, it's disrespectful to call Karlsson an asset - he is an entire team at times. So, the least bold pick is San Jose.
Edmonton, Calgary, and Toronto will do way better than Ottowa and Montreal. I know that's not crazy to predict, but that hasn't been a common hierarchy for the Canadian teams.

Since the season starts in a few days, would anyone be down for a SLAP fantasy league? Can't say I've got too many friends who are into hockey like me.

Excited to see what the Leafs do this year. Getting JT is huge, but we could still use some defence.
Ottawa is a dumb, and Montreal is heading that way. San Jose is gonna be serious this year. Would like to see Nashville keep things up.

I just get nervous when my team plays against certain players (Gudas, Wilson, Orpik, etc) as I don't wanna see anyone get injured. I'm sure you guys all feel that about Marchand.
-
The older I’ve gotten the less I like seeing people getting hurt and I find so much of the roughness unnecessary for the game to still be good. Just because a goon is on my team doesn’t mean I’m going to support their dirty play. Fuck Tom Wilson.

Same, I used to like the rough stuff much more pre CTE developements, and before former goons started dying off in numbers due to mental health issues.
Not saying that physicality should be removed entirely. Hockey should always be a physical sport, but the blatent disregard some players have when throwing certain hits is no bueno.

Also fuck nylander for being a bitch. Your good kid but earn your stripes
I've had this feeling since lindros refusing Quebec. If you refuse to play or have crazy contract ideas, the league should collectively ban you.

Thing is, he's such an effective player. Kinda like a Lucic-lite when Lucic was actually good.
If he played physical within the rules he has potential to be one of the better power forwards in the league.

Awful, honestly the worst performance I’ve seen from them since two seasons ago when they were horrific.
The Marchand thing I have zero issues with. It was a blowout game, and Eller was doing his celly skating in front of the Bruins bench. Plus there’s a lot of bad blood from Eller’s Montreal days.
Also, Marchand is a tough little guy. I always loved this fight against supposed sexual predator Mike Ribiero
www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbDIG_mdLms (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbDIG_mdLms)
-
I'm just anti fighting and like you mentioned earlier it was Marchand so of course I would get bent over it. It was definitely a very traditional reason for fighting.
Everything I see a fight I think about broken hands and concussions. I remember a few years back downie was just traded back to the flyers and in his first game he picked a fight with a dude on the caps and got smashed right in the face and left with a concussion. So not worth it.
-
That’s a concern of mine being that it was Marchand that took exception. He’s an elite player, and I’d rather he not bust his hand in a blow out game. Send a message sure, I just don’t know if one of our star players fighting a lesser player is worth it.
Not saying Eller isn’t a good depth player, but they’re not on equal skill levels.
I’m mixed in fighting. I never wanna see it fully leave the game, as I think it does serve a purpose. I just don’t like staged fights, or goons anymore. I also really don’t wanna see another Paros headsmack incident, or a player’s career end.
-
Fighting has its place, but I think there's a time for it (dirty plays/rivalries/etc.) I don't condone jumping a guy for saying some shit you don't like.
-
I didn't watch how that fight started, but I'm going to blindly assume it wasn't warranted because of who was in it. I guess Brad has a concussion coming his way whenever Wilson comes back.
-
If Eller is gonna pull that shit on a team like Boston when your up 7-0 don't act surprised when somebody tries to fight you, figured he has been in the NHL long enough to know that. I hope Marchand doesn't get suspended for this, he did start the fight like a maniac but in all fairness they did have about 5 seconds of just squaring each other up before the real damage was done by Marchand. Would be different if the dude actually didn't try to fight back whatsoever.
-
boston should probably just try to score and not give up 7 goals instead of fighting someone for celebrating. i guess when you havent beat a team since 2014 and get creamed on opening night thats whats going to happen.
-
Eller mocked the bench....thats fickin no no. ..kook style..you don't come skate by the other bench after you score a goal and gloat at 7 nothing , I would probably get off the bench and tell him too. Even of he's ony team I'd be like, " come on guy".
Idk what Eller ever did to him to Montreal but fitting that the rat would do this when the goon wasn't playing....I really wish after the Wilson suspension is over they would play Boston. That'd be a great fight cuz I have both, hopefully they knock each other out at same time.
Someone else should've done that shit but that's hockey ego. " Gotta do it for the team". Fighting does belong just like it does in life. The tough can over the weak. Get stronger or get smarter.
The worst isn't even fighting. Homie nopes said he don't to watch someone get hurt ,me either. I was at a preds pens game where Tanner Glass fought Eric Nystrom and Eric Nystrom laid Tanner Glass out on the , ice cold, bloody eye , everything. That s*** was not really that fun to watch in person. Never been to UFC but really dig mixed martial arts, one of my good friends is a trainer at 10th planet in Ann Arbor but I don't know, that s*** was brutal. ...but fighting is where the least amount of concussions would take place. Even though the code is a joke, there's not much of a code when it comes to open Ice hitting. And that whiplash effect is worse than a punch to the face for sure. You agree, usually, to fight. Two people. When Jake vorachek is gathering the puck in his own zone with his head down, and he gets kronwalled , that's worse injury than a fight I'd bet. Hockey is a tough one to grasp. At least NHL hockey.

Brad Marchand with a 3 point night heading into the 3rd.

i hate Mike Sullivan so much
-
pens - caps was nuts
-
4 Assists from Marchy. Chara, Pasta, Donato, and Berg all got goals. 32 save shutout or Halak. Good night for the B's. Fuck last night

I really loved Khudobin in both stints with Boston, but damn Halak is a beauty if this is what we're gonna get from the guy.
-
Crosby and the cheif are the same person.
-
pens - caps was nuts
Great entertainment, but not very well-played.
And I don't know how you could hate Sullivan that much. I'm biased bc I like the pens and met him in real life. I see that he gets in the refs' ears a lot, but rightfully so. I listened to the first 2 periods of caps-pens on the radio so maybe I missed something but I saw when he was pissed off about the non high stick call. The call on the ice was an emphatic "no goal", then the refs huddle and announce "The call on the ice stands; we have a good goal!". It was correct in the end but completely bent the rules of how that's supposed to go.
-
he just comes off like such a prick in press conferences. he has that typical coaches condescension towards the media thats been all the rage the last decade or so. it just annoys the shit out of me.
-
I see. I guess he has a rep for being a drill sargent. That reminds me, I should watch some Tortorella press conferences.
-
Fuck Marchand all day....suddenly he gives a shit about 'the code' when it's Lars Eller....he'd normally rather kiss a guy than fight em.....
-
i had been waiting my entire life for a team i support to win something and now that the caps have im just like ...........
i cant bring myself to half care about the league all of the sudden. hopefully that changes as the season progresses.

follow the sharks/preds maybe, they dont rival the caps, are super fun to watch, and both cup contenders. might suck depending on your time zone though.

Hawks management must not want to field a competitive team anymore. No clue why they'd fire Quenneville when they're only .500 a month into the season. The only reason I can think of is the bad blood between Stan Bowman and Q. He's really just the fall guy for the all the shitty decisions Bowman's made over the years, and Q was one hell of a coach to keep working around them and still field what was one of the absolute best teams in the league until last season.
I'm a Wild fan though, so it just makes the Central Division easier for us.
-
You hit exactly why Q was fired. It’s Bowman covering himself after making a bunch of terrible trades and decisions these past few years.
That said, Q is known for being loyal and stubborn, hence his hesitancy around moving away from people he knows even if they’re not keeping up as much any more (although he’s been forced to do better lately and will incorporate you people he likes).
Reading a few articles about him being let go this morning, someone mentioned that the Hawks and Q spoke about it and I got the impression he wasn’t too broken up over it and it was more mutual than a lot of pieces are makin it seem. He’s got his Cups, can go wherever he wants basically, and no longer has to butt heads with Bowman so I doubt he’s upset.
As a Hawks fan, it’ll be weird not seeing him on the bench and it will be nerve wracking to see what happens to the Hawks after this.
-
Yeah, the guy was definitely stubborn, his one fault was that he was probably a bit too loyal to the older guys on the team. If he wants to keep coaching, he'll be unemployed for a month max. I'm sure he's bummed but also relieved to not have to deal with losing great players like Panarin and Darling or having to force guys who probably should be in an AHL second or third-line role into an NHL second and third-line role. Not to mention aside from Seabrook and Keith, the blue line was really becoming a revolving door of mediocrity. It's honestly amazing how long he was able to keep up the facade that the Hawks were a complete team when they really only had a handful of players who were producing consistently, especially after all the cap issues that came in the years after the second cup.
-
I'm sure he'll take a bit of a break but he would have fit in LA nicely. bowman is stuck with his core and Toews and Kane are having a good season so I bet he figured now is the time and they might have a winning season. I'm sure he must have checked with the key players....
-
Guess I'm the lowly leafs fan?

I was thinking it was some sort of honorary nite or something but nope.....Edmonton hired Hitch.... It guarantees Cherelli will be fired and they may improve.....but it ends bad....

Who y'all got for the playoffs? I'm going for Hurricanes because I love Justin Williams from his time with the Kings.

Just saw this thread, obligatory FUCK KERRY FRAISER for costing Montreal the cup when Gretzky obviously high sticked Gilmour. Fucker go fix your perm. Still hate that dude. The league was so rigged for 99 to win.

Naw I'm a leafs fan but only by birth. Habs fan by heart. This is the 20th straight "rebuilding" year for us leafs fans. I still wait for the excitement of a round two playoffs L I think I've had three in my lifetime. At least it's playoff hockey though, this year's really gonna be the year just you wait.

But yes! Playoff hockey here we come!
And I called it way back, mitch marner's is easily our best player. Reminds me of a young stevie yzerman. Hes got a VERY well rounded game
-
I’m a Flyers fan, so needless to say it’s been painful this year. Excited for some of these first round matchups, some serious heat.
The west seems up for grabs and the East is Tampa’s to lose. What potential upsets do you guys think might happen??
-
I'll make the prediction which hopefull turns into a jinx....Boston coming out of the East...
-
Im looking forward to Seattle getting a team. Hockey is probably my favorite sport to watch but up until now I havent had the time/ability to follow.
-
Goddamnit, looking like the Panthers are gunna land Quenneville :-\
-
Yep. Don’t blame them - they’re on the cusp of the playoffs and there’s no other coach that’s free right now that’s more capable of pushing them over the edge.
Plus, they’ve been making a big push to get Panarin and Q was his first coach in the US so I think they’re hoping that they can use him as a selling point.

Panarin wants to live in South Florida so, it shouldn't be hard. Especially with the lack of state taxes.

Betting on a first round upset against Columbus.
Boston will absolutely wreck the Leafs' young stars, and Washington goes on to win the cup again. Although I'm rooting for Carolina and could see Caps fucking up against them

Draft lottery is tonight. I'm hoping Kings get the 2nd pick since it's hard to decide whether Kakko or Hughes is the true #1 pick. It's bonkers that Colorado is in a situation to win the cup and the draft lottery in the same season. I think Blues are going to saw through the west though.

I'm 100% down for that too!
I just wanna see really good playoff hockey. At the end of the day I hope the leafs surprise everyone, but I'm thinking logically this wont happen lol
But the thing I love about playoff hockey, is all the sudden every fuckin series is fun to watch! Whether you lobe or hate the teams, it doesnt matter. Your gonna tune in
And in todays NHL, I'd love to see things spiced up.
-
Only team beating Tampa is Tampa.
Obviously, the playoff structure blows and the fact that the bruins have to play the leafs in the first round is horse shit. Anything can happen there but I think the bruins are a more complete team.
The San Jose versus Vegas series will be super exciting. I hope Martin jones steps it up like he usually does in the playoffs. If the bruins don’t win I want San Jose to win(get jumbo his cup) but I’m expecting Tampa to steam roll everyone
-
I'm still a firm believer the divisions should dissipate and the playoffs should be made by all the best teams in the league, not divisions.

Kempny is a tough loss. At the same time, Caps are pretty deep on D, and Wilson is going to cause brain damage to at least one Lightning star, so it might even out.

Caps GAA is 3.02, Pens is 2.90, which is pretty close. The Caps actually allow fewer shots per game than the Penguins (31 to 33), and the Pens' save percentage is a little higher (.913 to .904), so I'm not convinced the Caps defense isn't deep, or isn't good, compared to a team like Pittsburgh. I hope you're right about that matchup though. Healthy Penguins can probably beat anyone.

Kessel seems to of woken up a bit in the last few games, if Malkin and Letang are on and Crosby is Crosby, they should be pretty tough to beat.

Oh I totally understand why they did, plus Tallon built up the Hawks team with Q. I was really hoping the Flyers would be able to scoop him up, idk what the hell they’re gunna do behind the bench.

You guys are very lucky to have the NHL.
I’m from France and I played hockey in my hometown (was a goalie) but here hockey is not a big deal. I have true love for hockey, the same I have for skateboarding. Right now i’m back from a party (i’M a little drunk haha) and i’m watching Bruins vs Maple Leafs.
I went to Montreal this winter and i had the chance to go to a game and wow the skills of these guys... it’s amazing. And the whole game is a show. Sports in North America are very entertaining. The French soccer championship is boring. There are tie games in soccer and i can say it’s boring to see Marseille vs Lyon and nothing happens for 90 minutes. And the jerseys are ugly full of sponsors. I got a Chelios Blackhawks jersey as a kid and i slept wearing it. Slept with my first pro board (a Geoff Rowley one) actually.
So yeah, i love having my European culture etc, but you North Americans have most of the best skateboarders and the best hockey players.
I’m glad there are hockey enthusiasts among skateboarders.
Sorry for this drunk post.

Refs were absolutely horrible, but that’s such a weak excuse to justify such a dirty play.
Great game to be at though. The place was electric. I had great time

This is a great post. Bummed that hockey in France isn't there but I'm stoked to hear about the Chelios jersey - I had that too growing up.
When it comes to the playoffs, I'm stoked to see the Islanders and Blue Jackets doing so well. I wish the Canes were better but they're at least making the Caps fight for it it seems.

I just remembered this thread existed. Lets fucking go Bruins. If we can get through Toronto, and Tampa gets eliminated, I think its gonna be a deep run

I have a live hate relationship with kadri on the leafs.
Hes skilled, and younger, but he wants to be like marchand(who I fuckin hate, but youde live em on your team)
Difference is kadri picks the worst fuckin times to take penalties and if I see him begging refs for a call again I'm gonna lose my mind.
Of course I hate the Bruins and wanna see the leafs win. But I'd pay money for mar hand to drip the gloves with kadri and knock his ass out.
You can tell he even drives Babcock nuts.
Game 2 could a easily been a huge blowout if it wasnt for Anderson. 4-5 of those saves were almost sure goals.
The leads better play game 3 and for the love of God, play kadri and nylander less. They are responsible for half the goals scored against, if not more.
Also, tiger won the masters today! Fuckin sick!

Kadri getting suspended last year in the playoffs was probably a huge reason the bruins beat the leafs In Game 7. He’s a moron and the scoring wasn’t even there for him this year to back it up.
As a bruins fan I hate when Marchand does cheap shit and absolutely hope he’s held accountable. I’m glad to see a leafs fan not make excuses for his play. I see a lot of leaf and bruins fans make excuses for these guys and I can’t stand it.
Go bruins and go blue jackets I supposed hahahah

Next year we should do a Slap pals bracket challenge league. I always have a league with my close friends who are down with the NHL playoff and we put in some money.
This year I have San Jose taking it over Columbus in the finals. I did an analyze on the Tampa Bay - Columbus match-up. I was thinking which team in the east could actually win over Tampa in a series? I thought Boston, Islanders and Columbus. The reason I think Columbus would take it is because Bobrovsky standing on his dick in goal, they went all in at the trade deadline and picked up some good pieces and started to finally find some dynamic in the last games in the end of the season and all the games the played against the Lightnings was early in the regular season, before the trade deadline.
The last game was amazing. Tampa is not playing bad, but Columbus is like small barking dogs all over Tampas players, the frustration is real. The speed and fast plays between both teams was amazing, but I really think Columbus is just a little bit sharper. But I would not be stunned if Tampa makes a comeback and takes it, thats how good they are, even if they are loosing this series.
Sharks in the other way need to think things trough, I think they have the best team overall. Well its Jones in net that makes me skeptical. But Thornton could be suspended next game and Erik Karlsson got to step up defensively, probably the injury still nagging?
-
Will The Lightning get swept by The Jackets ?
The guys in Columbus got nothing to lose...
In 2012 the Canucks were eliminated in first round by The Kings, who ended up winning.. ::)

I have zero issues calling out players on the team I back, kadri is an asshole with poor timing. If hes not suspended by now(dont have a TV here right now), hed be riding the bench.
That being said, awesome win against the bruins last night!!!!
Didnt get to finish watching colorado vrs flames, but 3-0 real quick didnt look so good for the flames lol

Also, 100% rooting for the islander to take out Pittsburgh

At this point I'd say a series win is inevitable, and a sweep is not unlikely. Also, I think tonight's game is going to get chippy, ugly, even disgraceful.

Now if we could fire out w to keep 10 giveaways that many have led to goals against, from Nylander(aka bench him)
Agreed with tonight's Pittsburgh game. Shes gonna get ugly. Pittsburgh isnt gonna go down without a fight.
Also, tampa 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 . See ya!

Although the sweep was disappointing for the Penguins, I don't think many Penguins fans were expecting a deep run. They don't have the lineup or energy they had in 16 and 17. Got rid of some key players and solid defenders and filled them in with bad contracts. They spent a lot of the season looking like they wouldn't even make the playoffs, and ultimately didn't make them by much.
Also the Islanders trapped like crazy. In 2017, the Sens used a trap and the Pens barely got by them. For some reason they can't dump and chase successfully. Trotts knows what he's doing. That might not work against other teams though.

Johnson-Gudbranson might be the worst defensive pairing I've ever watched... especially given both make top 4 D $$$ yet play like AHLers. Islanders don't score a lot but they carved that pairing into the ground.

Johnson is signed until 2023 - it's a nightmare! And I don't know what they were thinking when they signed Gudbranson to fill in a slot. They had some perfectly serviceable d-men on backup.
To be honest, Islanders carved every Penguin d-man to the ground. Even studly Letang looked bad.

Gudbranson is the worst defensemen in the entire league the past three seasons in goal differential. The Canucks had a +18 goal differential without Gudbranson on the ice, -23 with him on it this season alone. Combined -27 over the last three seasons.
Certainly didn't help that they looked completely disinterested and failed to adjust. Same can be said for Tampa too.

Leafs Boston game was good tonight. This series has abit of everything thus far.
Very tight defensive game
Game 6 is gonna be interesting. I think it's time for a one sided blowout that could go either way
As much as I hate the bruins, it's a classic match up for sure and I love watching.
Also stoked to see my fav of all time, stevie y, end back up in Detroit!
Detroit will be back big time in a few years. That's one team that knows how to draft and see talent where others dont (recently ie datsyuk and zetterburgh)
I'm a leafs fa through and through but I've always lived Detroit as well.
Off topic but lindstrom was another. Top 5 all time with coffee, orr, borque aaaaaand

I'm a penguins fan (as well as a big hockey fan in general) and I didn't expect them to make it out of the 2nd round after the up and down season they had, and I'm almost relieved they just went out in the first round. Tampa getting swept and Calgary getting eliminated shocked me for sure. I'm excited to see how the rest of these playoffs go. The Boston/Toronto series has definitely been the most entertaining.

Unfortunate these two teams had to see eachother in the first round, but it’s starting to give us something to look forward to every season

Agreed.
Great fuckin series basically year after year. But I will say, I think this year the leafs have them.
With bergeron/chara getting older, and Marchand on his own somewhat, Boston is hurting. BUT, kudos to Boston hockey, because even when they dont have stellar superstars, they stay true to their style, and give everyone a hard time.
As much as I hate Boston, if they beat the leafs, I hope they go all the way to the finals in their downswing

The bruins have 3 players in the top 10 for points per game this season. They have the second best first line in the league. To say they don’t have any stellar players is a disservice to the team.
I do kind of think it’s torontos year. They just seem to have the speed this series and somehow that defense is holding up which is sincerely blowing my mind.
I hope the bruins take it, but I’m not holding my breath. They can’t seem to keep the intensity up for 60 minutes

I gotcha, I worded that wrong. I really just meant "big named stars".
Game 7 is gonna be fun too watch! Too bad it's the first fuckin series.
And I agree on the leafs speed. But we rely waaaay too hard on the goaltending of Anderson. One bad game away from a really high scoring game. Hes easily the MVP of the team, undebatable.

Andersen lives in the bruins heads right now. He’s been so good you can see players start to overthink open looks. Pasta had basically an empty net last night and turned to pass the puck, which I just think shows you the presence Andersen has in the series

you said he is the best player in the league right now, when he not even close to the best goalie in the league. how is that possible? he's not even a veznia trophy finalist.
9th in save percentage
5th in goals against
24th in goals against average
he is a important player for the leafs, but he is not even remotely close to the being the best goalie or the best player in the league. what a ridiculous call.

Fuck another game 7 lol
Great win for the b's
Great game too
This game 7 might kill me. I am pretty sure this series has been everything everyone thought it would be and with Boston’s ice sucking it will probably come down to who gets the lucky bounce at the right time.
Unfortunate these two teams had to see eachother in the first round, but it’s starting to give us something to look forward to every season
Agreed.
Great fuckin series basically year after year. But I will say, I think this year the leafs have them.
With bergeron/chara getting older, and Marchand on his own somewhat, Boston is hurting. BUT, kudos to Boston hockey, because even when they dont have stellar superstars, they stay true to their style, and give everyone a hard time.
As much as I hate Boston, if they beat the leafs, I hope they go all the way to the finals in their downswing
The bruins have 3 players in the top 10 for points per game this season. They have the second best first line in the league. To say they don’t have any stellar players is a disservice to the team.
I do kind of think it’s torontos year. They just seem to have the speed this series and somehow that defense is holding up which is sincerely blowing my mind.
I hope the bruins take it, but I’m not holding my breath. They can’t seem to keep the intensity up for 60 minutes
I gotcha, I worded that wrong. I really just meant "big named stars".
Game 7 is gonna be fun too watch! Too bad it's the first fuckin series.
And I agree on the leafs speed. But we rely waaaay too hard on the goaltending of Anderson. One bad game away from a really high scoring game. Hes easily the MVP of the team, undebatable.
Andersen lives in the bruins heads right now. He’s been so good you can see players start to overthink open looks. Pasta had basically an empty net last night and turned to pass the puck, which I just think shows you the presence Andersen has in the series
It might be my biased opinion here, because I truly have blurred lines between Toronto fan, and hockey fan. But IMO, Anderson is not only the best goalie in the league, hes the best player in the league right now. And I cant remember who the last goaltender was that had such a profound effect on the team overall? It's happened lots though, maybe that's why I cant remember.
The goaltender on colorado might even be on that level which totally contradicts what I just said lol. That guy is amazing as well
lmao, come on. what a delusional pearler, not sure how you could possibly justify that opinion. lehner, grubauher, bishop & bob have all been better than andersen these play offs.
Look at Anderson's season. The leafs would be knowhere without him.
I'm not just talking playoffs here
you said he is the best player in the league right now, when he not even close to the best goalie in the league. how is that possible? he's not even a veznia trophy finalist.
9th in save percentage
5th in goals against
24th in goals against average
he is a important player for the leafs, but he is not even remotely close to the being the best goalie or the best player in the league. what a ridiculous call.
Stats dont tell the whole story my man. Don cherry said it, so fuck you. Hes the fred gall of hockey lol
don cherry.
that says everything.

Bruins and Sharks forcing game 7. Boy is tomorrow going to be stressful!
I'm already stressing over the Toronto vs. Boston game. I'm getting flashbacks to things I'd rather forget. Leafs can pull it off if they stay out of the penalty box though.

Don't worry, things will be different now that Toronto is rid of Kessel. You can't win with that guy.

Die hard Leafs fan, but this is absurd. He's key, but he's not Dominik Haseking them to the finals. He's a solid goalie who can give you 55-60 games with a .917 save percentage. He deserved to be in the Vezina discussion until his bad March, and even then may have still deserved a nomination.

Uhm, so that Vegas/Sharks game...? JFC, just an insane last 10 minutes and overtime. I love Game 7’s so much.

but it should be said...
TUUKKA RASK IS AN ELITE NHL GOALIE. TUUKKA RASK IS A FRANCHISE GOALIE. TUUKKA RASK IS A TOP 5 NHL GOALIE.
also look out for me at the game 1 tomorrow night! i'll be the dude wearing a suit under my B's jersey.
-
One of the best first rounds in recent memory. There were so many crazy outcomes all happening one after another. Can't believe Vegas not only choked a 3-0 game lead, but a 3-1 series lead. I'm hoping Avs can steamroll Sharks in the second round and that Jones doesn't look like his 2016 self again. Stoked for Caps and Canes tonight and hope Justin Williams can add to his game 7 legacy.
Today was nuts.
Has anything like that sharks thing ever happened before?
Kings and Blues in 1998 had Blues go on a 5 min pp and score 4 on it to win the game when Kings were leading 3-0. But it was game 3 and Kings got swept. Can't think of anything as crazy as what happened in last night's game with the pp, last minute goal, and game 7 OT.

They should be considering Firing Babcock. If not him, his two assistants responsible for the PUTRID special teams.
This is a coach that consistently outcoaches himself. I feel like he's come to Toronto and laid an excellent foundation and developed some unlikely players (Hyman for example). I have no ill will against him. He's brought structure and a great attitude to this organization but his time might just be up here.
He didn’t adjust to anything all series and the Leafs lost as a result. Absolute waste of a season imo.
-
Not feeling to confident about a series against CBJ, but if the Bruins could get past them I feel confident with Washington out of the picture.
I have no idea what to expect in this series.

Same. There's a statistic saying that anytime a team who went to game 7, faces a team who just swept, the team who went to game 7 wins. I know it doesn't mean a whole lot but is something to keep in mind.

Yeah I have a bad habit of changing my mind...

The reason why I am starting to feel a little bit confident in the bruins is because the last two games the third and fourth line have been the lines to get it done and they are buzzing. I think next game pasta is back on the first line and it’s only a matter of time before bergy, pasta and krejci get going.

both teams would want columbus, as they have pretty decent regular season records in the last few seasons...
carolina would have very little chance against boston, and if the islanders are any chance, it'll come down to lehnar standing on his head.

Couple days late but the Caps pulled a Caps and fell well short of expectations.

So Carolina swept the Isles
And all series are tied
Very entertaining playoffs so far
I want to see a wild card win the cup
No wild card team has yet won the cup (I mean since the my changed the format in 2013 I think, when they went back with 2 divisions per’conference)

Who you got? Im a Devils fan, but I dont want to talk about that right now. But in the big picture I think Nashville with Duchene is a perfect match and will go deep with that solid defense the still got. Toronto is the powerhouse of the league and maybe this is the year the finally get past the first round in the playoffs?

Lived in Pittsburgh my whole life, so I'm obviously a Penguins fan.
If they can't win the Cup, I hope someone from the Western Conference can win it. By nature, I hate all other Eastern Conference teams, especially Philly and Washington.
I hope Toronto and Tampa get bounced in the first round.

I used to be super into hockey but I've completely lost interest since they've all but eliminated fighting in the NHL game. It used to be something to look forward to, a game within a game, and I really loved the instant justice that was dispensed when someone broke one of the unwritten rules. Hockey in the 90's and early 2000's (and before that as well, but that's my era) was probably the most wonderful team sport I've ever witnessed... just this super fast marriage of athleticism, skill, finesse, toughness, and violence.
I know it's better and safer for the players now, and I know that being an enforcer was a really difficult way to make a living, but I miss it for selfish reasons. I did some work for Lyle Odelein a few years ago and he was just the coolest dude, after I figured out where I was (his wife booked the job and I had no idea I was in his house at first) and told him I was a fan he ordered a pizza and we sat in his kitchen watching his fights on youtube while he told me war stories and it was fucking amazing. I just feel like there aren't a lot of guys like that around anymore.
-
He was on spittin chicklets in sept and it was sick....
I kinda miss fights but at the same time the game is so fast and guys are so skilled it's fucked....
Every night I see something that would make a yearly top ten in another decade....
-
Yeah, to me if the choice is bruiser games or insane hands, I’m going with insane hands every time.
-
I do miss the fights and big hits of the olden days, but at the same time the skill level makes it just as good to watch. Everyone is so fast these days, and it makes for exciting action. It's also nice to see people not having career ending hits ending careers like Lindros and Kariya.

We have Elias Petterson here and I keep looking at his McCauley Culkin Christmas Elf face and think... There's just no way this guy is even in the NHL and he does the most shockingly filthiest shit I've ever seen.....

Listening to the bunt they mentioned Wayne simmonds can skate....guess what trick they are claiming?

I’m so stoked hockey is back and seems to be going smooth but I just can’t wrap my head around the series. Like I can’t figure out which games and stuff are do-or-die. Like, I think all are but like the season pace feels so odd to me. Like I have no sense of how the league overall is playing out. Just how the Hawks and that conference are doing.
Still happy to watch though!
-
also glad it’s back and running smooth enough.
I’m in the same boat. I follow the North and look at overall standings every once in a while. It takes a little more effort than normal. If you told me Florida was top 5 in the league I wouldn’t have believed you.
But I guess some teams have played considerably less games so that kinda matters at this point.
My biggest concern is it’s tough to know how good teams actually are. My Leafs are beating up on everyone and while they do look better overall than last year, it’s hard to know how they stack up against the top dogs in other divisions.
-
Canucks.... :-*
I'm psyched to have something to watch and follow but it's not gonna get serious until the playoffs. They're having to play so many games and against the same teams....no surprise that most games one team doesn't show up.....it's usually my team....
Wayne Simmonds=heel flip....
-
Wayne Simmons looks like an illusion flip guy to me.
I wish they put teams records or place in the division next to the name during broadcast like NFL. I’m probably minority but knowing a teams in the basement won’t stop me watching an out of market game. This all Canadian division has been chefs kiss especially the covid HNIC broadcast.
-
now that the playoffs started who do you have taking the cup this year?
Even though I'm a Pittsburgh native and Pens fan, I'm also a realist.
I think Colorado could take it this year. they've been so solid last year and remind me of how Tampa Bay was playing up until they finally got it last year.
-
Think Caps are gonna take it this year, that team is made for playoff hockey. Super physical, great pp and great pk. Goalie situation is a big question mark though. Would like to see Florida go far, but Tampa with their ltir trickery is gonna be tough to beat. Caps vs Avs final, Ovie takes the Conn Smyth
-
Too bad the bracket is messed up this year and only one of the Avs, Blues or Golden Knights is gonna play Toronto probably. Avs are definitely the sexy pick although StL and Vegas have better goaltending.
In the east, the Bruins are softer than baby shit but they’re gonna have a slugfest first round with the Caps. One of those teams will ride high passed the second round to play Tampa in the Conf finals.
Colorado Tampa final is the favorite, I’d give Tampa the edge on goaltending and experience.
Someone will get upset and blow this to smithereens. Love playoff hockey
-
I think Vegas.....Otherwise Tampa or the Caps....the Canadian division will be the ultimate dud.....
Colorado still has to get closer before they actually win anything.....
-
I’d love for Vegas to win but could see Ava doing it too. Would be cool if FLA upsets Tampa but as a Hawks fan, I’m happy to see that Q seems to already be having an impact down there.
-
Caps and Bruins are destroying each other this series.
I'd love to see the Panthers upset the Lightning but i don't think it will happen.
-
anyone getting hyped for a god damn full 82 game season coming up here?
I'm enjoying all of the pre-season drama that has gone on so far, particularly robin lehner's twitter threads.
i have some slight insight as to what goes on to injured players in the NHL as one of my dad's friends career was essentially ended by him being forced to play with a frozen broken foot.

Was stoked but now the leafs are everbodys bitch. Marner is godawful lol
-
As a Leafs fan I wish I had something to say back to you, but so far we don’t have anything going for us. At least so far it seems everyone has figured out how to deal with Marner. Nylander is the one constant we have at the moment. And when you look at our spending - top three players making close to 40 mil - it’s clear we wont have a deep team for years to come.
-
That's the problem with Candian markets, players are often over valued and under a microscope.....
I'm not sure how things pan out with Eichel because whichever team acquires him won't see any immediate benefit. Maybe with a ton of conditional picks it might fly....Buffalo totally mishandled it though....
