Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

Buffalo Sabres.............New owner who wants to spend some money and has a great desire to win.

I'll say. That Myers contract is insane. Haven't watched a lot of the Sabres; is he worth it?

Can't wait to really follow my true hometown team 100% again...now that the Thrash are gone. I've always loved the Sabres, but now they're my only team.

As a Flyer fan I can't wait for the season either! They are playing their first preseason game tonight against the Caps. They were up 3-2 last I checked. I just wish it was on TV.

I'm not expecting a serious run at the cup this year, but it should still be a good young team that is fun to watch! Can't wait to take my son and daughter to a few games too!

Was that the annual Caps/Flyers rookies game? This wasn't a full squad game, was it? Tomorrow marks the beginning of the preseason, I thought.

Can't wait to see some Flyers games this year with Bryz in net and the new players they picked up this offseason. Too bad my Richards jersey is out of style already.

Don't watch hockey much, would love to play though.

Went to see the Red Wings training camp up in Traverse City yesterday. It was really neato to see all of the guys, even the retired players like Chelios and Osgood and Draper hanging out in their new jobs. Plus the young prospects. I think seeing them was as much fun as seeing the veteran favorites. They were playing all out to try and get a spot.

Preseason is right around the corner!

Absolutely! He is one of the best prospects the Sabres have in many, many years. They have a lot of good players, but Myers has a chance to be elite. Finally, after years and years of being both a Sabres and Bills fan, we finally have an owner that just wants to win and is totally committed. It is amazing to see the caiptal spending they have done this offseason (laser beams Zamboni's, 90' outdoor LED scrolling banner, brand new dehumidification system, flat screens in the lavatories, new concessions, and most importantly...cup holders above the urinals). It's more amazing because Buffalonians just aren't used to this type of ownership. Spending the most doesn't guarantee a championship by any means, but I honestly believe they will have a serious look at the cup within the next 4 years. They have a lot of really good prospects that will be pushing for spots in the next few years.

The Caps got cup holders above urinals last season, my husband is pleased. Now they just need to get somewhere in the women's room for me to put MY beer.... might look at getting tickets to see the Sabres when the come to town this year.

I love this time of year. GO WINGS!!!

Wings are on tonight. Flying to the arm Pitt after a morning practice, then back to TC before the next game.

It's on NHL Network.

Now to start prioritizing my afternoon plans to prepare for drinking beer and watching hockey! Pork roast in the slow cooker? Check. Plenty of beer? Check. Email wife to claim dibs on the big screen? D'oh!

That's pretty funny someone from Detroit calling Pittsburgh the Arm Pitt. Detroit! Have you even been to the intercity? Well your still alive, I guess not.

GO PENS!

 

[paulster2626]

If you're not a Leafs fan, you're an insignificant idiot.

That is all.

 

[Beezy]

The Laughs? I am proud of my insignificance.

 

[wildwest450]

If you're not a Leafs fan, you're probably winning games
That is all.

Maybe he's just never been anywhere but Detroit and thinks a giant slum is paradise?

Zing!

I can't wait to move to a hockey town again. Work could be taking me to Chicago in 9 months. That would be sweet! Watched some highlights from the Jets first game. I can't imagine what the atmosphere would have been like.

The Intercity? No, I can't say that I ever have.

I've been downtown to The Joe before though. It's actually very nice and the people are very friendly.

Now you've got me wondering how Pittsburgh's Intercity compares to Detroit's Intercity... Pittsburgh's is probably much nicer.

 

[arturo7]

Detroit to Pittsburgh is Intercity

 

[Beezy]

Pittsburgh is pretty nice actually. Even the ghetto areas aren't that bad. Anyway who cares, who won last night... Oh yeah that's right Geno and the Guins.

Yeah, Pittsburgh won a contest whose main purpose is to evaluate prospects. I congratulate you, sir. Did Pittsburgh bring the whole team, or only half? I think Detroit split their team in two and planned to put the other half in the next game.

Yes the team was split. Yes I know the purpose of the game but in obnoxious trash talk land thems is braggin rights.

What happened to the hawks in the 3rd???

Hah! At least somebody is literate

 

[Homercidal]

Someone threw a banana on the ice while Simmonds was taking a penalty shot. He is claiming racism. What? From a banana? I think someone was just trying to get a YouTube moment.

Happened to Kevin Weekes a long time ago in Montreal I think. BANANAS!

 

[Homercidal]

I got it. I was reading an article and one of the comments at the bottom asked why this was racist and the answer was equating black people with gorillas or monkeys.

Really? WTF?

 

[ytsejam]

Ray Emery.
That's what happened.

I heard about that too. Apparently he's unfamiliar with slapstick humor involving slipping on a banana peel in EVERY COMEDY EVER.
