Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

[emjay]

I propose that all Bruins fans start growing their beards now for next years playoffs. :cross:

It's kind of a requirement. Bruins fans take about 6 months just to get a 5 o'clock shadow....

Here's the new jersey. I'm hoping another original 6 team wins in 2012.

Dude, that jersey looks SWEET on you!

The hat, though...

That jersey looks sweet on anyone.

That hat'd fit right in here.

Please tell me that didn't go over your head...

No, I got it but it would have been funnier if I was actually leaning left.

Jagr wants in on the Pens cup next year. I might head down to Upper St Clair and start cleaning his house out. Hope Sykora didn't make too much of a mess.

 

[Boleslaus]

Anyone watching the awards show?

 

[jtkratzer]

Did anyone else see the team formerly known as the Thrashers are headed to Winnipeg?

Pens aren't interested in Jagr...already been in the news.

Yeah they say all kinds of things. Ray Shero and Jagrs agents are having really good talks right now. Maybe the news takes a while to filter out of town?

 

[Bulls Beers]

At the NHL awards, Sedin finally showed up tonight.

 

[Bulls Beers]

Timmy Thomas wins the Vezina trophy. Very nice!!!

 

[Boleslaus]

Yep, I already posted about being depressed earlier. Then I got over it with some Mikkeller single hop, then the NHL awards came on and you mentioned it and I'm depressed again. On to the Citra or Challenger....?

 

[Beezy]

Dan Byalsma! Lets Go Pens!

 

[jtkratzer]

News has changed since I last read about Jagr as it's on ESPN's front page on the NHL section about the Pens being in the hunt.

 

[GreggZ]

Tsn just reported that the devils have no interest in jagr and its the pens, detroit, and another undisclosed team.

 

[wildwest450]

Go Pittsburgh, I don't want that washed up turd in Detroit.

I am quite disappointed, though... You look NOTHING LIKE Isaac the bartender.

 

[Beezy]

What are the Flyers up to? LMAO

 

[arturo7]

wow

 

[lextasy23]

Golfing. Lowest score wins in that game.

 

[Hellfish76]

Holy crap! Bryz better be the goalie that takes the Flyers to the next level or heads are gonna roll. Trading both Richards & Carter? Wow indeed!

 

[Blakimal]

Highest payed player next season! And Boston opens up season vs Philly! Love it

 

[Homercidal]

That's nuts! I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I don't think they made a good deal. We'll see what happens (or doesn't happen) next season.

 

[Boleslaus]

The Flyers will be in good shape if their young talent stays on pace (JVR, Giroux, Schenn when he plays). They really need some solid goaltending, but giving up Richards AND Carter? That was more than I expected. I hate the guy, but Briere is gonna have to step it up even more and become a 40+ goal scorer.

I think the Kings look the best in all of this. Hopefully they can play as a more cohesive unit with their top 3 stars (Kopitar, Richards, Penner). They have solid guys who can score in addition to them (Brown, Williams).

Obviously the Blue Jackets are better than they were before the trade. They NEEDED someone for Nash to play with. That guys is amazing, but has to be a one man show. I think the Nash/Carter duo will be good for them. Now if its enough to make the playoffs and make a run....not so sure.

Draft party tonight?

 

[StittsvilleJames]

Too much homebrew for Holmgren....

Well that's it in a nutshell. Yeah, a real good goaltender was needed (always is) but to give up those guy to get him may turn around and bite them.

Oh well, it will make things interesting, that's for sure.

Philly is obviously going to make a move for B Richards on July 1st, if they don't try to offer sheet Stamkos. Probably Richards though, I would guess.

Plus, then Flyer's fans can keep their Richards jerseys!

 

[Barnzy02]

Obviously there was a lot of truth of issues on/off the ice and in the lockerroom with Carter and Richards.

I had heard talk about a week or two ago that both were in play to be moved, but never expected the both of them to go...minutes apart.

It's a bit of a step backwards in the short term, but they added a lot of young talent and size on the wing and picked up some needed draft picks and the highest rayed prospect out there.

Hopefully schenn and the #8 (most likely a d-man) pan out.

I've been a hockey fan all my life, and have rooted for three teams over 40+ years-- first the Bruins as a kid, after watching Bobby Orr, then the Devils once I graduated college (living in the NY Metro area), and then the Minnesota Wild, after I moved there during their inaugural season. I was also a season ticket holder, until I moved to California about five years ago.

Alas, today, a part of me died, and I am no longer a Wild fan. I cannot, in good conscience, root for a team STUPID ENOUGH to trade Brent Burns to the San Jose Sharts for over-rated Devin Suchapvssy... er... Setoguchi.

**** YOU, WILD!!!!

 

[emjay]

Setoguchi was fantastic in the playoffs.

But regardless... any plans on who to root for next?

 

[MeatyPortion]

I'll always root for the Blackhawks.
