Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

I'll always root for the Blackhawks.

Says the guy in the Bruins jersey.
I'm sure they have more than enough fair weather fans.

You should root for the Sens. We need more out of towners.

Setoguchi was fantastic in the playoffs.

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

Fantastic? Not really. He completely lacks killer instinct, and has very little heart. It's preposterous to trade your best defenseman, a solid two-way player who is still developing, for a forward who was probably 7th or 8th on the depth chart (never mind that he'd be about 3 or 4 on the Wild depth chart).

I need no more teams to root for. Boston and New Jersey are enough. The Wild were a throw-in because I was "with them" from the start (even though I was on the season ticket waiting list for a couple years before finally landing them), and it was good to have a local to root for.

 

[StittsvilleJames]

Filitov for a third rounder (66th overall).
Sens rocked this draft hard.

Sens win! Sens win! Sens wiiiiiiiin!!!

Hey, I have Blackhawks jersey too. Which I bought in 1996.

I went to a friend's lake house in the smokey mountains this weekend (no internet, no cell coverage) and look at what I missed!

I think the Wild did a smart thing moving Burns, but they could have got a little more than they did. He was not signing on again there, so they got something at least. Better to so that then wait for him to leave you with nothing in the offseason.

Unless I'm mistaken, he would not have been an UFA after this season. They would have gotten something for him. I don't necessarily figure that he wouldn't have stayed, either. I'm sure it would take a lot of money to keep him, and seeing how the Wild are one of the biggest cheapskates in the league, they might not have liked paying it, but I think they would have.

Or maybe not.

Checked out the Jets site for the first time today. It's strange reading the meet our boys section and having another city talk about your team. (Seems like the past couple times I've posted here, it's been lamenting the loss of the Thrashers). I'm gonna need to buy a Sabres jersey soon and make the full transition back to my childhood team. It'll probably be better that way anyway, at least they make the playoffs.

Leaving me hanging guys, where am I supposed to turn to for my hockey fix...and its only end of June.

Frankly, my dear, I don't' give a damn!

We find out shortly if JJ returns to Pittsburgh.

Hope he does. I don't want to see him in Detroit. Meanwhile, I'm wondering how much money does Ehrhoff really want? I'm thinking it's probably more than he's worth...

Yeah, circumstance will make me a Dallas fan (again). Will be moving back home at the end of july. my streak of always living in an area with a NHL franchise will be secured (for now).

 

[Homercidal]

Jagr is supposed to reveal his decision today (again)...

Yeah, this is really helping me want him to come to Detroit <iRoll>

 

[MeatyPortion]

Jagr is the new Lebron?

 

[wildwest450]

Jagr is the new Lebron?

If by that you mean he could/will never win anything without a far better player on his team, then yes.

[rjwhite41]

I guess Buffalo answered my question, not too much money but too long of a contract. Well, bring on Wisniewski... I hope.

 

[Boleslaus]

Damn...didn't expect a 10 year deal for Ehrhoff. Hopefully it works out for my re-newed #1 team.

 

[GreggZ]

Let the over paying of a thin free agent class commence!

 

[MeatyPortion]

Blackhawks got Montador. Looks like a good replacement for Campbell.

Agreed.

 

[Boleslaus]

Jagr pulled a Favre! The Flyers?! Pittsburgh deserves to be upset.

bullsht!

 

[Homercidal]

Ugh.

 

[GreggZ]

I guess the flyers aren't going to put together an offer sheet to stamkos. I am actually excited to see Jagr play but he is almost 40 and I dont expect him to be anything like he was 3 years ago.

 

[MeatyPortion]

Maybe Jagr will work out for the Flyers just as well as Lindros did.

 

[rjwhite41]

Commodore... that's the big free agent acquisition? You've got to be kidding me. And if Erickson keeps playing like a giant pu$$y then the Wings just got robbed. I don't see the defense getting better anytime soon.
