Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

[Homercidal]

I started out rooting for Boston, because a friend is from there. Then when they actually started playing, I switched to Vacouver because my wife took Boston (we always root against each other in the big games!)

Now I'm thinking Boston has got it going on! The past few games have been fun. Always nice to see some physical play.

It's impossible to separate violence from hockey, and the Bruins play exceptionally dirty.

How was that?

I anticipated disagreement, but to call my assertion asinine and outrageous is actually pretty ironic. I never said that the Bruins were the sole and exclusive offenders - in fact, like you, I explicitly stated that both teams were part of the problem. But there are obviously only two teams in a game, and since it's pretty unlikely from a practical standpoint for both teams to contribute to the problem exactly equally, one of the teams DOES have to be the majority contributor to the problem, and suggesting that it's Vancouver is beyond delusional.

Don't wiffle waffle. You said that the Bruins have played exceptionally dirty, not just the majority.

Further, these games would hardly be chippy if Burrows hadn't bit Bergeron in game 1, if Lapierre hadn't taunted Bergeron in a classless manner in game 2 (I know that Recchi and Lucic both responded during game 3 - key word 'responded') or if Rome hadn't illegally and cheaply knocked out a very important player from the Bruins line up for the rest of the series.

It all comes down to the classic question: What comes first? The egg or the scrambled egg? Because in this case Vancouver laid the egg and the Bruins have beat the crap out of it since.

Look for this to continue tonight (the Bruins domination, I mean).

Hey I post about making beer all the time, but unlike you dbags I don't need to ask 500 times "is this batch ruined?".

I've ruined enough batches over the years that I know right away when one is spoiled. I put those aside for a few years to develop the funkification. Then I get back online to share my wisdom with the rest of you foos. You can thank me later.

WTF? Looks like PTN got lost somewhere. Not surprising.


Bruins lay the wood again tonight.

 

[Cape Brewing]

I know... I didn't want to ask PTN WTF he was talkin' about... I do that enough.

Probably hittin' the wine bottle for breakfast again.

 

[paulthenurse]

Tequila is the universally accepted breakfast drink. Only a barbarian drinks wine for breakfast.

 

[DakotaRules]

Scotch is great for brunch!

 

[paulthenurse]

Agreed

Vancouver is a bunch of pansies who like to flop and bitch and moan if they don't get the calls (I've known that all year). Boston is a dirty bunch of dbags who will do whatever it takes to win the Cup (I don't watch the East much so I just learned that recently). Boston isn't angry over the bite, I don't buy that, but they are certainly using it everytime they get in a fight to taunt Burrows. The Rome hit was late but not dirty, keep your effin' head up. I'll tell you it is really hard to root for anyone in this series and the last two games have been a trainwreck and bastardization of the game of hockey. I don't think the officials (by that I mean Bettman) will allow that in any game played on network television in the states. For that reason, I see a lot of cheap penalties tonight and the physical play of the Bruins to be watched very carefully leading to a Canucks victory. Of course, if Luongo chokes again nothing can save them. By the way, I don't see how the Cup is a god given right to Canadians when they haven't won it in 18 years. I drink coffee in the morning but a little whiskey in it never hurts. That's my 2 cents you can now return to your insults and homophobia.:fro:

 

[Cape Brewing]

LOL... NO idea why it is blocked at work but the Toronto Sun article on "Fickle Canucks Fans Turn on Their Heroes" is beautiful....


and I quote:

"The Canucks are a thoroughly unlikable team, what with the biting and diving and Maxim Lapierre and those two 'men' prancing around in green tights"

BWAAAAAA HAHAHAHAH!!! Even Canadians are talking about what pansy floppers they are!!!

"One Canuck-themed items on sale in the store is the Gnome Bank. Maybe it's me, but the Gnome, with his reddish beard and impish smile, looks a lot like Henrik Sedin. Actually, the Gnome looks tougher."

AAAAAAAAAAHHH HAAAAA HAHAHAH!!! HAAAAAAA HAAAAHAHAHAHAH!!!

 

[paulthenurse]

Who's homophobic? Flounder and Cape are two of my best friends and they're both pickle smokers. What do I care what they do when the barn door is closed?

 

[Cape Brewing]

Let's not get carried away

 

[Cape Brewing]

Jeeeeeesus!!!

It's like Christmas morning!!!! Different article, different newspaper

http://www.thestar.com/sports/hockey/nhl/article/1006100--cox-loving-these-canucks-sure-isn-t-easy


"Alex Burrows lowered the bar with his chomp on the peaceful Patrice Bergeron in Game 1, made worse by the league’s decision not to do anything about it and Lapierre’s mocking of that decision in Game 2. Burrows got into a stick-fight with Boston goalie Tim Thomas in Game 4, a fight he started."

"Every game, it seems, there’s another line crossed. In Game 4, Ryan Kesler got back to his old whine-at-the-refs mode, something he’d removed from his repertoire.

Pressure and push-back does funny things, huh?"

"Bringing in Max Lapierre from Montreal (via Anaheim, of course) at the trade deadline just added a trash-talking player notorious for faking injuries and fouls."

 

[arturo7]

I think the series will tilt towards Boston. Mind you, I'm rooting for the West. Well, I'm rooting for OT more than anything.

The Sedins have tremendous talent but I don't think they have the grit to lead Vancouver to the promised land. Getting blown out in game three is one thing, but to let game 4 get away too doesn't bode well. Kesler may be the best American born player in the NHL, but he hasn't found a way to be the difference maker.

I can only think of a couple more cliches, so I'll leave it at this. Unless the Canucks can find another gear, Boston skates the cup on home ice.

 

[DakotaRules]

Here we go!

 

[emjay]

Well at least they had the sense to start Luongo in net.

Good game so far... it may be 0-0 but the Canucks have come out fairly strong and have been dominating the game up until now.

Henrik Sedin just got a penalty though, so that could quickly change, but even if Vancouver draws more penalties tonight, that's fine with me so long as the refs are keeping on top of stuff.

 

[emjay]

Another penalty... fair, but Boston got away with too many men, once again, just a few minutes ago. The crowd sees it, the announcers at ice level see it, why can't the refs ever see it?

 

[DakotaRules]

Would you like some cheese with your whine tonight?

 

[emjay]

Somebody needs to tell Boston they're on the powerplay.

 

[DakotaRules]

Different game for Vancouver as they are playing physical tonight.

 

[Cape Brewing]

B's look flat. Not good. This looks like games 1 & 2

 

[DakotaRules]

Nice burrows trip yourself.....

 

[Cape Brewing]

LOL!!!!!!!! Fking penalty for diving!!! About effin time.

How the $%#* can anyone actually root for this effin team??

 

[arturo7]

Now is the time of year where a guy's true character becomes apparent.

 

[DakotaRules]

This is a pathetic showing for the B's.

 

[Cape Brewing]

It is. They look terrible. They're just gliding. No one is skating and no one is hitting

 

[emjay]

About time...

 

[DakotaRules]

Your right, if they start hitting the boards and breaking some of the plays we would have a goal by now.

 

[DakotaRules]

Kegging my beer tomorrow!

 

[Cape Brewing]

About time...

LOL! Dude... Your team got a fking EMBELISHING penalty. I can't believe you even showed up on this thread.

 

[arturo7]

B's are up 18-11 on shots and you knuckleheads say they look bad? Wow

This game looks pretty even on my tube.
