Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

[cannman]

The Devils lead the league in goals scored. Ryder leads the league in points, Fried Cammalleri leads the leagues in goals. Cammy is on pace for 164 goals this season. 82-0 here we come!!!!!

Detroit Hockey back on tonight. Seems like ages since a game was on.

Ok, I just checked and it turns out they were on not that long ago, I just blocked that game from my memory.

But we have to put up with the NBC announcers tonight

 

[solbes]

The Wild managed to "Ranger" the Bruins last night and turn the tables around 180. Nice win! Maybe they slipped the keg dregs from Madison Square Garden into Boston's locker room.

Not me!

I made beer cheddar cheese last night and it took hours, so I listened to the game on the radio.

My only complaint is hearing that one guy say, "uh" a few times per sentence...

 

[cannman]

Who's watching what tonight?!?!?

 

[arturo7]

...and yet another thing that pisses me off about the shootout.

When a game goes ends in this horrid fashion, the recap programs spend more time showing replays of the shootout than replays of the game. **** me, that shvt ain't hockey!

 

[Zekk]

I have a feeling that sooner rather than later they will be going to the 3v3 overtime format they're trying in the minors.

Oh and the Canes finally have won a whole 2 games!

 

[ICWiener]

Oh and the Canes finally have won a whole 2 games!

Man oh man, the Canes are just awful. Injuries aren't helping, but seriously, between them and the Sabres....they're lucky the NHL doesn't relegate.

Why can't people accept a tie? Keep the 4 on 4, but if nobody scores, just go home with your hard earned point.

I'm with you 100%.
But then I'm older than dirt and dislike change...

Cheers (And get off of my lawn! )

 

[Homercidal]

Yeah, I used to enjoy watching the shootout, but I'd rather see a 10 minute OT 4-4 and then call it good.

 

[ICWiener]

I agree, the shootout was an interesting novelty at first, but that's it. It's worn out its welcome.

I especially hate it when a 0-0 game goes to shootout. Both goalies earned that shutout.

 

[day_trippr]

Speaking of OT...Marchand scored a nifty goal in OT last night to save everyone from a shoot-out.

Guy's been hot lately...

Cheers!

 

[day_trippr]

Jeeze, the season's like 20 games deep and the Bruins casualty list looks more like January. I don't know how they've been doing so well of late considering you never know who's going to be able to suit up.

Woof.

Cheers!

Well, for one I think Chara is extremely over rated. Others will disagree, but the guy makes poor decisions with the puck and is a giveaway machine. He gets way too much credit and their recent play shows that they can win without him. The kids have been doing a great job playing the system. Go B's.

 

[day_trippr]

I can't disagree with the premise that Chara is over-rated by some degree.

I tend to focus on him when the Bs are in their own end and over the years he does make a lot of forced/imprudent passes that end up on the other team's tape. But it wouldn't surprise me if that's at least partially due to playing so many minutes that he's gassed the last half of his shifts.

One thing is for sure, when he's on his game he is a force...

Cheers!

 

[sensortech]

Well said. And don't get me wrong, i dont think he sucks by any means. He's the tallest thing on skates and has one hell of a reach. There's value right there. I just get tired of listening to jack edwards talking doom and gloom without him. First couple games were really annoying, but he's mentioned it less since they've been winning. I think the style of play that the kids are taught in providence really helps them when they come up to the NHL. Chara was the centerpiece of the team when PC came aboard, and deserves much credit, but the whole team changed their style of play. They don't don't suck without him.

Go B's

 

[Homercidal]

Well the Bs are still a good team without him, but he is one of the major players and even though you might think he's overrated, most other teams don't. They play with his size and ability in mind. That right there has value.

I am really starting to hate the shootout. With Detroit's puck handling guys they couldn't score in the shootout last night. Granted Babcock put in some odd choices, but goign 0-3 in teh shootout so far, and historically being poor in the shootout to begin with makes it worst than worthless for us.

When a team is used to winning it can overcome a large pile of injuries. Gotta have that winning culture, ya know?

Boston - wins a lot, injuries are okay.
Detroit - wins a bit less, injuries are okay.
Columbus - wins not a lot, injuries have destroyed them.

 

[paulster2626]

The Blackhawks are going to repeat their win of the Stanley Cup. They may have gotten rid of a bunch of players from last year (Niemi, Burrish, Byfffffuleiiyeeiigliin) but they still have a core group of hardworking teammates and are getting their steam back after a slow start this year.

I would just like to point out that this is the best jersey in all of pro sports.

 

[day_trippr]

Meh. Looks like a fruit salad...

Cheers!

Funny.

And what's that yellow stuff in his hair?

Gordie Howe hat trick for Tarasenko tonight. The boy's on fire.

 

[Wingnutt73]

Funny.

Looks like some kind of chicken leg.....

Go big B!!!
going to see them when they come down to Nashville in Dec.

 

[cannman]

Funny.

Clearly a Detroit fan designed it

 

[paulster2626]

Another first overall pick should fix the Edmonton Oilers right up.
