[Tournament] 06-07 NHL Discussion Thread

Oh come on, Brent. I'd have given Carter the money just to keep the line nickname of "Two brothers and a brotha" alive.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The mattress line was ok. The IKEA line was better.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It won't be the same. The capitals don't have the mighty JOHN DRUCE and awesome scoring power of Dino Cicerelli.

I was speaking idiomatically.

So I'm the only person who wants to see Staal, Malkin and Crosby in a Whalers jersey? I'd fucking switch teams in a heartbeat if that happened.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

What difference does it make if I refer to her as a dyke? Or if I call the Whalers a bunch of faggots in the comfort of my own office, far from the sensitive ears of the rest of the world?

FELIPE NO

I have a bunch of Whale jerseys too. Those things are fucking hard to find, now. And the fact that I can't make the Whalers in NHL 06 or NHL 2k6 pisses me off to no end.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'm sure Quebec City feels for you, mate. The difference is that next year the Pens probably won't win the cup, QC had to watch their team move to Colorado, add a goaltender, and take the hardware. Ouch.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Gary Bettman = fail

Hey.... HEY. Bettman saved canadian hockey franchises. His little plan worked, he can't do shit about a city not wanting to finance a new arena.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Against Boston, the players were awful and against Tampa Bay, Emery was awful ontop of the fact that the players were still pretty bad. If we don't beat Philly, I'm going to cry. That is all.

Y HALO THAR VICTORY.

You realise you're saying Chara is the worst trade ever to someone who watched Joe Thornton go to San Jose for a bag full of pucks and a half-used pack of cigarettes, right?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Damnit, Dope. It's Christmas. How you gonna show me my boy Neely getting hurt just before Christmas. God bless Tie Domi for fucking that asshole up.

I was speaking idiomatically.

(10-2)

Shut up. :sadpanda:

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Ok, seriously. Stop fucking talking about the Boston game.

FELIPE NO

Yeah, because slapping the fans who voted for him in the face, that's a great idea. Goof, the more you post, the more I think you're a fucking idiot.

Also, the Pens won't make the finals. They don't have the defense.

Well played, sir.

At this point they'd have to win a game to send me reeling.

I beg to differ, sir.

How ya doing, buddy?

:sadface:

I was speaking idiomatically.

Bruins win a game, demons wear skates, news at 11.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The only thing I have to say about the whole Ottawa/Buffalo debaucle is this:

Ray Emery > Biron
Ray Emery > Peters
Ray Emery > Life itself

I don't even fucking like Ottawa, but that smirk on his face during the whole thing was made of pure goddamn win.

FELIPE NO

I'm siding with Brent here. The hit wasn't especially high, Drury isn't an especially soft player, and he was watching his fucking pass. He desrved that shot. Also, Neil doesn't have a rep as a dirty player, he has a rep as a tough player. Seriously, BZ. Climb off your fanwagon and try a little bit of objectivity. It was a good hit.

I'm so glad I live in Canada and have Center Ice and never have to deal with shitty American channels for my hockey fix. It's honestly part of why I stay here for University instead of going to Europe. You try getting hockey in fucking Europe.


All right, I'll be the first to chime in on trade day:

I don't know is more painful/embarassing, getting your shit handed to you by Ray Emery, and getting packed up and sent to the worst team in hockey, the philly low-flyers. Bon Voyage, Marty Biron, you're a sub-par goalie and no one will miss you in Buffalo.

Secondly, with my team more or less out of the running, I have to pick a team to back for the playoffs. I was up in the air until today. With the addition of my boy, Georges LaRaque, as well as some hardnosed, playoff tested leadership in Gary Roberts (whom I'm betting will get the same sort of revitalization we've seen in Recchi) I'm all about Pittsburgh these days. You hear me, Wojo? You and I are of one blood now.

Florida sends Bertuzzi to Detroit. Getting traded for one of the top goalies the year before, only to be shipped off for a draft pick and a prospect a year later? Priceless. I love(d) Berts through all his whiny bullshit post neck-breaking incident, but until he can prove to me that he still has that psychopathic edge I loved him for, he's dead to me.

Obviously there were a lot of other moves, Perrault going to Toronto is a good move for T.O. in my books, as they're fucking awful on the draw, for instance, but I think I covered the big ones I care about. If Marc-Andre can step up his play (and he has the talent to do so), I think Pittsburgh looks damned good this year. And even if they don't win, I guarantee they'll be one of the most fun to watch.

Guerin going to San Jose looks great for SJ, and Guerin is a great warrior. He makes the Sharks even more scary.

And Ryan Smyth, the face of the Oilers, the man who took a paycut just to make the team better, gets traded to the Isles for a 1st round pick, O'Mara, and a bag of pucks. Unfuckingcool, Edmonton. Not impressive at all.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm not even an Edmonton fan, and I was wicked choked about it, acid. And NYI is just so malicious a place to send that guy. Name me one city he'd fit less well into. Fuck.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
