Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

[Goofynewfie]

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

You sound just like a lot of oiler fans.......have you come over from the dark side ;-)

Martin Brodeur has a tryout with the Blues. If he's up to speed, he'll likely get a start this week.

 

[Goofynewfie]

Seeing him in another jersey is gonna feel wrong

 

[Goofynewfie]

At least we are consistent

How Lowe can the Oilers go?

Sometimes, when I think about all the poor management I've seen in the Blue Bombers organization over the past few years, it makes me sad. Then, I think, "Well, at least the Bombers are not as badly run as the Oilers"...and I can at least grit my teeth, and get on with my day.

The Jets are not contenders...but at least they're not the Oilers!

Jets are sitting in 8th spot currently, are they not? 6-2-2 in last 10, pretty good. Just happen to be in a really competitive division.

I was disgusted watching the Wild play in the first last night down 3 donut to the people stuck on an island. Then to come back and score 4 unanswered in the 3rd to win it. I think they've done that kind of thing 3 times this year, nice

Just Got my LUCIC Sweater in!!! Can't wait to break it in next week when they come to Nashville.

Rooting for the caps to pull a win in Fla tonight. The winter classic will be a good game. Hawks Caps is usually a good one on recent years so im looking forward to a good game and good homebrew on my couch.
Although i'm a Caps fan i think the hawks have the best looking sweater in the league btw.

I agree. I am also baised. ;-) they also have the best goal horn and goal song in the league in Chelsea Dagger. However, Dallas has an awesome song as well.

 

[BorealBrewer]

Despite decimated defensive department, dominance!

GO JETS GO!

Hatty for Tarasenko tonight. Nothing for the highlight reels, just a pair of wicked wristers and an empty netter. The kid can skate, shake and bake when he needs to, and certainly has the scoring touch. 20 on the season. Don't know if he'll get 40 this year, but it's just his 2nd full season. He probably has a few 40s and maybe a 50 in his future.

But hey, I'll be happy with a 30 and a cup...

you're on crack

Well, no 2 points but at least I got to watch the longest shootout in the history in the NHL. 20 rounds! Holtby could have ended the game 5 times but Fla scored every time after the Caps did! I wish the Caps could find a good franchise goaltender. I know Holtby is decent but I don't have full confidence in him to shut 'er down when it's needed.

 

[schmoe]

Oh look the Wings lost yet another shootout.

 

[HoppyDaze]

Will I get the mumps if I post in here? Oh sh!t, too late...wish me luck

It was worth only getting a point to watch that. Part of me just wanted it to keep going to see how far it could go.

I called it before OT started. What do I win??

1 point

Go Leafs Go?

It sort of reminded me of USA vs Russia in the last Olympics.

Pfft...let me know when they lose 18 straight shootouts.

 

[Homercidal]

Pfft...let me know when they lose 18 straight shootouts.

They are 1-6 now, so it shouldn't be too long.

Wait, who has lost 18 straight??

 

[schmoe]

Make that 1-7 although in 2 shootouts, I wonder if Mrazek has more saves in shootouts that Howard in the other 6 games.

 

[Homercidal]

I didn't get to see the whole game, but it sounded like Mrazek played very well, and he gave the team a chance. It's time the skaters take advantage and score some goals!

The Devils lost 18 straight shootouts, over 2 seasons, until they beat the Jets earlier this year. They also beat someone else this past week, maybe Tampa?

 

[Goofynewfie]

Just like to point out to Paulster that the oilers did the whole throwing jersey on the ice and fire coach thing first.
PS. Dallas Eakins is available and did fairly well with the Marlies ;-)

Leafs fired Randy Carlyle this morning.

Leafs fired Randy Carlyle this morning.

That's too bad, but the Leafs are underperforming I think. Maybe not enough to warrant firing the coach, but there may be things going on behind the scenes we don't know about.

Ughh, do the Wild stink of mediocrity lately. Pretty much same season so far as last year, except the team went on a tear in January and never looked back. Going to be hard to string wins when we place Chicago twice and Nashville in our next 3.

Goaltending is of AHL caliber and I don't see much changing this year. We knew it heading into the season but didn't do anything about it because of the 3 one way contracts we have. Signing Backstrom a couple of years ago is really biting us in the ass now.
