Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

[paradoxic]

How they recover? It's only 6 games in for crying out loud, everyone gets blown out in the regular season more than once. They recover by winning the Central, then going out in the second round.

Wouldn't be so sure the wings take central this year.

Oh, they lose two in a row and everyone has something to say.

There's a difference between a run of the mill injury and a life-changing, permanent one. Pronger's been with Philly fora few seasons. Who has he hurt while with the Flyers?

It was Hatcher who made Crosby spit teeth and broke Roenick's jaw during a preseason game.

Big players hurt people from time to time. You all, like everyone else, like to b*tch about the Flyers, even if the player has a reputation prior to joining the team. I don't hear any complaints about Chara crushing people.

And taste of his own medicine? It's not like the injury happened on a hit or fight, it was a play that happens every game.

It's idiotic to cheer and be happy someone got seriously hurt.

Just a tad bit sensitive I see. You probably shouldn't be reading a trash talk thread. I wouldn't want you to start crying. Actually that would be funny.

Pronger's injury is a product of karma coming for payback for all the injuries he has caused over his career. I like how all the philly fans are butt hurt over it. All I have to say is quit being a babies cuz your flyers lost their star defensemen and wipe your tears. It's funny when the bullies get a taste of their own medicine.

Yup.

Hey Detroiters, why is Conklin playing so much? Is Howard hurt? Man he stinks.

Howard has time off to be with his wife and new baby.

I'm not being a fan of Conklin right now either, but he did have a shutout in his first game. He better settle down, or he might be taking a vacation to beautiful Grand Rapids.

Defense has not been responsible getting the puck out of the Detroit end either. They used to be so good at it.

Stupid babies.

I was a huge fan of Conks when he was in Pittsburgh. The backup is the most popular guy in town. Until he starts anyway. He did have a nice little run here tho.

Get over yourself and give Crosby another *******. That might get him in the lineup sooner.

 

[Boleslaus]

And Flyers fans can keep on crying after tonight

[wildwest450]

Ooh, a professional hockey player made an assist.

[Beezy]

So the Flyers score 8 points and still can't beat the JETS! That is rich. Don't worry you are only 7 points behind the Pens now.

Pittsburgh Stats:
Neal tied for 1st in goals.
Fleury tied for 1st in wins.
Pittsburgh 1st in points, 3rd in overall % wins (behind Washington and Dallas).
Pittsburgh 1st in PK% (thanks Cookie, Park, Dupuis, others) Only 1 PK goal given up. That one was in OT on a 4 on 3 situation. Three short handed goals score (league lead).
8th in PP%, but that's a heck of lot better than last year.
11th in Goals per game, without Crosby, mostly w/o Malkin. Doing ok here too.

So far, so good!

Hey, how come we only hear from Detroit, Philly, Pittsburgh, and Caps fans here. Where's everyone else?

Aw, come on, that was awesome and you know it.
I really want to get to NSH for Hawks/Preds game. I think there is one in March I may try for. I hear the fans at the games do know hockey and are quite friendly.
St Louis is closer but I want to travel to a real city, not just some riverside dump.
(ironically, go Cards!)

Nashville is a nice clean friendly city to visit. The fans are learning, but...

I'm going to the Preds/Ducks on Saturday, just to get in to the swing of things.

Kessel gets another point last night, MacArthur finally gets his first of the season, Mike Brown beats the piss out of Newbury, and the Monster shakes off some early jitters and out plays King Henrik for the second half of the game. Plus, they kept Brad Richards off the scoreboard. It's all coming together in TO - hopefully Reimer's neck/concussion/upper body injury gets fixed up soon.

That 8th spot is looking more and more possible - keep it up boys!

You forgot 5 game win streak.

I just read an interesting article about sports gambling and betting on teams. It said that the top 5 NHL teams that most people bet on are:

1. Pittsburgh
2. Boston
3. Detroit
4. Chicago
5. Philly

ANNDDD, Pitt has also played more games than anyone in the league ... so congrats you guys win October? There 70+ games to play, talk to me after the new year.

 

[DangerRoss]

Thomas Vanek: NHL's best shooter

Bout time my boy Vanek gets some credit!!! He's been tearing up since '01 baby!

Deal. They are only going to get stronger.

Eeeeasy there killer. They still have to make it through one of the best teams in the league on Saturday.

Right now, you'd be a fool not to pick the guy who has scored the most goals in the NHL.

That's right, *******:

 

[DangerRoss]

The Leafs just got off to a fast start but will blow it like last year. The real challenge for Pitt will be the Sharks. Big Joe will chew up the Pens as if it were shark week!

 

[DangerRoss]

Kessel is pretty good but Vanek is better.

Yes, four tough teams in a row: Maple Leafs, Sharks, Kings, Stars.

Yeah, I poorly phrased that. I should have said "some of the fans".
I cringe when the crowd cheers every time the Preds skate into the zone as if it were a 3 on 0 breakaway.
