Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

Alumni game is on in about 30 minutes. This should be an interesting game with a lot of story lines...Lindros and Clarke...Lindros and Kasparaitis (caused one Lindros's concussions when he was with the Penguins), Richter being a Philly-born and raised guy who played for the Blue Shirts coming back to Philly, Vanbiesbrouck and Lindros having played for both teams, etc.

Would have been cool to see Hextall and Bill Clement lace them up.

Should be an interesting match up.

Old men playing hockey? I'd rather clean my gutters...

Enjoy all the commercials.

Bah, they've all got their millions. It'll just be a bunch of blowing each other and big grins all around. Like a cheesy mentos commercial. Speaking of commercials, there's bound to be lots of 'em, too.

I'd rather watch a 24/7 feed of cameras documenting Sidney Crosby's concussion status.

...and the leafs blow yet another lead.

Dan Blackburn's only 28...

Actually, it was pretty good, and with the running clock, there were very few opportunities for commercials. It was good to see that it was more of hockey game than the circle jerk you see at the All Star weekend where there were actually some hits, penalties, and defense. I enjoyed watching it and the humor provided by the players with their in-game mics.

Winter Classic just about to start. Last minute announcement, Staal will play!!! LeTs Go RaNGeRs!!!!

 

[jtkratzer]

First time in quite some time that I can remember someone other than Lauren Hart doing the National Anthem or God Bless America in Philly.

Love the F-18s! And the "Rangers suck!" a fan screamed right before the anthem started.

Lets go flyers, Giroux is gonna tear it up.

1st period had some awesome action at both ends of the ice. The goaltenders are doing really well outside.

 

[Northjerzyg]

Well there you have it. Better team won the game. Let's Go RaNGeRs!!!!!!!!

That had to hurt givin up a two goal lead at home!! OUCH!!!! Hahahahahahahah

 

[Northjerzyg]

Is also like to say, welcome back marc staal, and, We Want The Cup, We Want The Cup, We Want The Cup!!!!!!!!!!

That's nice, so does everyone else. But it ain't happening for you.

Good game. I'm not a Rangers fan, but good to see Mike Rupp get two. (I think his family still lives in Pittsburgh based on some articles I read when he signed the Rangers deal.)

Flyers fans and team act like they normally do:
Flyers fans BOO the Canadian Anthem.
Hartnell trys to start a fight after the game is done. Such an a hole.

 

[jtkratzer]

Awesome game. Rangers got some soft goals. They were not the better team. Flyers seemed to dominate for long periods of time and unfortunately, Bob let in a pair of pretty soft goals.

Too bad Briere missed that penalty shot. Fun game to watch though while I was installing a shelving system.

I would have loved for that game to last longer. I was surprised there weren't any fights.

ahhh, the Leafs are back on the outside looking in at teh playoff picture. Glad to see we've returned to familiar territory and I can stop worrying when it's all going to come crashing down.

Now for them to simply pull off their usual "Hey it's January, lets actually play hockey" routine and it'll all come together in April!

 

[emjay]

This Leafs game just turned totally absurd... 4 goals in under 2 minutes.

 

[Boleslaus]

This Wings/Stars game has been pretty exciting. Back and forth action and refs getting cuncussions. Gustav Nyquist (while he doesn't have any points) looks like he could be really good as he develops. He had some nice moves.

 

[BrewMU]

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.

Chicago Blackhawks

Random personal history nugget: When I drove a cab in St. Louis back in the 90s I picked up Chelios and Roenick at the old Arena and took them to the Adams Mark. Stinkin' 5 spot tip. Two hours later I came back and got _ _ _ _ Sutter (whichever of the 12 Sutter Bros. played for the Hawks back then; Dwayne, Daryl, Brent, I don't remember) and a trainer. Amazing, but true.
Btw, and with all due respect, !@#$ the #@$ing sh@thawks. Go Blues!

He has been fun to watch in GR with the Griffins so far.

Leafs are 20th in the league, 2 points out of 11th. WTF.

3 point games muck everything up.

here come the hawks, the mighty blaaaaaa-ackhawks!!!!

with equal respect, at least the blues aren't the f'n redwings. now if only the blues could beat the wings regularly, we'd never have to worry about the old norris division.

Video shows Philadelphia Flyers fans attacking New York Rangers fans - ESPN New York

Only a group of Flyers fans would attack and beat an off-duty cop.

Worry about? I pray for the reunion thereof.

I'm really really starting to worry about Buffalo. Maybe the Sabres will pick up someone like Ryan.

Hoping the Sharks would pick up Getzlaf.

 

[Boleslaus]

I'd love to see the Ducks get dismantled. No feelings for or against them...but it sure would be exciting.

 

[punkrockdave]

The fact they were named after a Disney movie is enough for me.
