Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

Sabres will own the Flyers in game 7. You read it here first.

 

[arturo7]

That was a wicked slapper from Malone.

 

[MeatyPortion]

Agreed.

 

[wildwest450]

I dunno, Nashville is a much different team than the Coyotes.

When your best offensive player is a 5 foot Eskimo, you're not scaring anybody.

Are you willing to bet a sixer of your IPA on this?

It's on. You guys are just happy to be out of the first round. It may have to be a growler though, I hate bottling.

In that case, I'm hoping the Hawks own the Canucks tonight so I can have a tasty wildwest IPA as a post Round 2 celebration.

Is it just me, or did it look like Luongo turned a routing blocker save into a flailing rebound/game winning goal?

It was a LONG shot he saw all the way(at least it looked like he did), instead of blocking it to the corner, he pops it straight to a Blackhawk.

On the slow-mo replay I think Smith actually tipped the original shot slightly and it ended up going off the bottom edge of the blocker instead of the heart of the blocker. Luongo saw it most of the way, but that flailing drama queen stuff is why he gives up bad goals on rebounds that should not be an issue. He puts himself out of position.

even the GM is a crybaby.

 

[Homercidal]

The refs aren't there to call the same number of penalties. They are there to call any penalties they see.

Obviously they are not going to make bogus calls, just to make a game, or a series, even...

even the GM is a crybaby.

Reading from notes he had compiled, Gillis produced stats backing up his frustration.

NEVER a good thing for a coach or GM to do! I'm sure THAT'll win him LOTS of points with the refs!!!

For the series, the Blackhawks have had 27 power plays to Vancouver's 16.

"I'm not sure how you explain that discrepancy...," said Gillis.

Ummm...try the fact that YOUR guys get caught more than the other guys. I STILL think he should feel damn lucky that Torres wasn't suspended!

 

[Randar]

I STILL think he should feel damn lucky that Torres wasn't suspended!

Or the clear elbow to the head that Alexander Edler delivered to Brouwer.

Couple that with all the behind the play cross-checks and slashes Vancouver has gotten away with in this series and it could have been even worse in terms of penalty discrepancy.

It's clear the Canucks have been more interested in getting in the dirty shots and mouthing off than in playing hockey since game 3.

Bieksa bitching about that hit he took in the last game was classic Canucks crybaby routine. Kessler should flop one more time just to see if anyone is watching

 

[JNye]

Math can be beautiful-

AVG Penatlies/gm in the regular season:

VAN - 4.82
CHI - 3.23

AVG EXPECTED penalties in the playoffs through 6 games:

VAN - 28.92
CHI - 19.38

ACTUAL Penalties through 6 games:

VAN - 32
CHI - 20

conclusion, canucks=undisciplined hacks

I love not knowing who the Flyers opponent will be...


I so hope it is the Pigeons though.

 

[MeatyPortion]

Yeah, that went the complete opposite of how I envisioned it.

 

[arturo7]

How can you allow a shorty to tie game 7 in the final minutes?

 

[Randar]

Wow... Hawks have a horseshoe up their butts. I can't believe they scored short-handed like that in the last 2 min... check that... I can believe it, just totally improbable.

Vancouver's played the better game and the whistle swallowing has allowed them to take a lot of liberties with the holding and interference, but hot damn, thought it was over...

Crazy stuff.


Hit on Spacek in the Canadiens game different than the boarding on Kane a few minutes ago how? These dangerous play and player safety calls are in need of some serious consistency checks.

 

[Hellfish76]

Fitting for a game 7 to go to OT.

Crawford was huge for the Hawks in the 3rd period.

 

[Randar]

Talk about a fitting end for the Hawks this season... they could not have possibly been more inept at clearing critical pucks or biffing on key clearing and passing attempts in their own zone all year, and that's how it ends...

**** the Canuck.

 

[JNye]

Nice series. Canucks out-everythinged the Hawks this game and deserved the win, Crawford kept it interesting.

 

[lurker18]

Chicago keeps getting these out of nowhere goalies for the playoffs. great game last night, and the right team won. Not that I am a Nucks fan, but game 6 and 7 were dominated by the Canucks, and if it wasn't for Shnides head up the butt plays, it wouldn't have been a game 7. Hopefully they can put game 4 5 6 behind them and play the way they did in the other four.

Maybe I am misunderstanding one of your posts but it certainly seems to me that you are a Canucks fan...

As a Canucks fan, I would love to see Dallas get in over the Hawk's. But the way they boys played the last two games vs the Oil, I don't think it will matter who they play. THAT SUCKED HARD!!! Good thing they had a spot wrapped up months ago and hopefully are coasting in to keep out of injury problems, I just hope they can kick start the play again before the playoffs start.

Cheering for Vancouver, and it is not Chicago that scares me this year. they don't have the team they had for the last two years, and I don't think Crawford is going to pull a miricle out his butt. I am worried more on a healthy Wings or a hot Ducks now.

Anyway, great game last night. Crawford certainly added to the drama. Going into overtime I thought for sure Luongo was going to blow it again. Usually I just laugh when he plays like this in the playoffs (despite a decent game last night) but this year I actually felt sorry for him.

 

[Homercidal]

Luongo is probably the crappiest great goalie out there...

Wish I could have stayed up to watch. I am sad Chicago lost because now I will have to stay up to watch the West Coast games.

Yes, and i'll never get my beer now, cause there's no way Nashville is going to the conference finals.

[maffewl]

Oh... I'm willing to extend the bet to say whoever makes it further... Nashville or Detroit... and if they both lose in the second round, whoever won more games, and if that's a tie, most points... and even then, least OT's...

I will not be denied my wildwest IPA. :rockin:

I don't have any Homebrew IPA on hand at this time, but can you get Hopslam down there yet??

I haven't seen it... so I would be down extending the bet to you as well (my IPA for your Hopslam) under the same conditions as above. Wildwest lives near me so it's easy to exchange brews with him, but if it is legal to mail beer it would be fun to include you in.

Bold prediction that just didn't work out. I'm fine with that.

The Flyers told Miller to shut his whorish mouth last night...I love that Briere tapped Miller on the back of the head after the opening goal after all the sh*t Miller's talked the last few games.

I was so sick and tired of him running his mouth, I'm so glad the Flyers put 4 past him last night.

Bring on the rest of the East. I have tickets to Game 1 of their next round.

 

[wildwest450]

Actually i'm out of that right now. But i'll be brewing soon, so don't fret, it's a long playoff season, especially for Detroit fans.

 

[maffewl]

Does that mean you accept the challenge?
