[Tournament] 06-07 NHL Discussion Thread

God damn. That went from one of the worst games I've watched this season to one of the best games I've watched.

How the hell did we come back to win from a 4-0 deficit to win in SHOOT OUT nonetheless? What a great ending.

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

I'm starting to lose all respect I had for John Leclair. Jonny boy didn't take his AHL assignment and is now just sitting at home collecting a paycheck. He really needs to man up and retire. He's useless in the new NHL.

What I heard is that with the new CBA, you can suspend a player without pay if they do not take their minor league assignment. I'm sure thats what Shero will do but everyone knows it'll cause some uneasiness within the league.

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

I don't see it as terrible news at all. Jim Balsillie probably wanted to move the team no matter what and the NHL just didnt allow him.

It all just rests on the IOC anything after that is uncertain.

Most amazing jew boots

Don't Canadians think this guy is a nutjob though? I read something like that on the Pens board.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Pittsburgh Casino Update: Isle of Capri did not win the casino license in Pittsburgh which means no arena for the Penguins.

I cannot tell you how fucking pissed off I am at this bullshit state. The city of Pittsburgh could have received a free arena and now there is so much uncertainty to if the Pens will stay in Pittsburgh now. Fuck Pennsylvania and it's bullshit fucking politics.

FELIPE NO

Mark Cuban only wanted to buy the Pens if he could get a new arena. They could have put this shit to bed so easily, but now it's going to continue to be a cluster fuck.

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

Well I don't want them moved anywhere obviously. There are still some possibilities that they will not move. If this Plan B shit actually works out then thats a possibility. Also if that D'Angelo guy buys the Pens, I'd say thats the best situation for the team. He said he would build a fully functional arena with his own money.

All still speculation. I don't think anyone knows what will happen next.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Then fuck I don't know....my back yard could possibly hold an arena.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Calm down people. It's just a fucking scare tactic. Mario knows saying things like this is the only way to get the local officials to do something about it.

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

I agree the politicians are horrible in this area, however I would like to think that they do not want to go down in the history books as the politicians that made the Pens leave town.

They just have to make Plan B work. If it does work, I'm all for it.

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

Plan B is not clear cut at all. But it deals with the new casino owner (Barden) paying 7 mil each year over 30 years for the arena, some of it is what the owner of the Pens will have to pay, and the rest is probably going to fall on the tax payers (which is bullshit).

That's about all I know.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Hey guys, do you know what the police radio code for "You are being received ok" is?

Spoiler:

10-2

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Since it hasn't been posted yet I thought I would take the initiative.

The LA Kings have both of their goalies out so they had to recall their 2004 draft pick Yutaka Fukufuji.



LOL Jap goalie. When he makes a save, I hope the fans shout FUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU......fuji.

Konichiwa bitches.

FELIPE NO

Yeah hes the first Japanese player in the NHL.

Also I meant to say the LA Kings have their two starting goalies OUT so I edited my post accordingly.

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

I'm glad the Pens dont play the Nucks this season. Especially right now.

Also Jason Blake is an asshole. Spearing Crosby like that last night was very uncalled for. Pens still got the 5-2 win though which is perfectly fine by me.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yes you are correct sir.

The Maple Laughs are such a fucking joke. They even failed when they tried to start shit after being down by 6 goals. Like when McCabe was giving puches to Malkin. Orpik comes out of no where and starts landing punches on McCabe. I am glad he kicked his ass.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Dont you mean Dallas crash, and not Minnesota?

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

All I meant is that it doesn't matter who Buffalo plays, we're due to have a crucial goal count one of these days.

I was just referring to the infamous Brett Hull "goal" back in the 2000 cup finals.

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

I didn't even see the Rangers traded for Sean Avery. Completely missed that.

Also Habs put Sergei Samsanov on waivers. I understand that though, he is useless.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The Flyers will probably pick it up at the end of the season starting now probably. It seems like every team that sucks picks it up at the end of the season.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well by pick it up I dont mean winning every single remaining game. I just think they will have a couple winning streaks and finish out the season on a good note for their sake.

FELIPE NO

Good.

I'm glad he is out of the East. He can now take his bullshit somewhere else.

Him and Michel Therrien are probably side-by-side if the voting took place today...

Even though Vigneault is a damn good coach and fixed a lot of mistakes from the previous nucks coach, I think Therrien has the edge over him. Remember the Penguins were absolute dog shit for 4 years in a row and now they are one of the best teams in the East.

Speaking of dog shit, the FSN feeds from the South are exactly that, dog shit. It's like they have no idea what contrast is. I just noticed tonight and other nights how games in Florida are televised with such a dark contrast, I feel like I have glaucoma.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Main thing is if Drury is ok after that. I only saw a couple clips from this morning so I didnt see if he went back to playing again. I can say that I laughed pretty hard when I saw Lindy Ruff climb on top of the glass or whatever and fell down.

In other news LOL RONZ YOU GUYS HAVE ANSON CARTER NOW.

However 8th rounder isnt a bad deal at all for a rental player.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That AHL player sucks so bad too. Shane Endicott. I thank god our GM bought out his contract at the beginning of this season. Hes worthless.
