Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

[paulster2626]

I gotta give credit to the Wild for one thing at least:


They finally got rid of the horrific jerseys that plagued them for a few years. NOw they have mildly ugly jerseys.

And just in time for Christmas!

 

[Homercidal]

They remind me of those red, white, and green mint candies with the trees in the middle of them that appear around Xmas...

 

[paulster2626]

I wonder if they smell like pine trees like those car-fresheners.

All I have to say is there is some cheese in the fridge to go with your salary cap wine. The only number that matters in the end is wins and the Wild are smoking the league in that category. First team to 20 wins!!! And they are 20th out of 30 for highest salaries!!!

Let's recap this discussion in March and April.

Crosby out again indefinitely for concussion like symptoms. I think he may be done. Sad to see a great talent cut short like that, even if you root against him/Pens.

Lindros 2.0. As a red wing fan I don't like Crosby, but it is always a shame when that happens.

Lindros 2.0. As a red wing fan I don't like Crosby, but it is always a shame when that happens.

Not even close. Crosby is an exceptionally talented player, but Lindros was a feared physical force on the ice. Crosby's had a handful of fights in his career, Lindros had a handful in a single game occasionally.

They are entirely different players in an entirely different game. Can you imagine what a player like Lindros would do in this league without the clutching, grabbing, and hooking that was allowed when he played? He'd probably challenge for the Art Ross every year.

I'm not a huge Lindros fan and was frequently very critical of his game, but he and Crosby don't compare. He was a very special player we rarely see that is a dominating physical force and Art Ross capable at the same time. Lindros scored about 50 more goals, more points, and more than doubled Crosby's PIM total through about 415-430 games...right where Crosby's at for his NHL career...in a time when the average offense was way lower than it is now. Their point totals are comparable, but the style of play is way different. Ovechkin's physical play doesn't compare to how Lindros played.

I understand you're talking about concussions, but Lindros had what, 7? 8? I hope Crosby isn't finished, but it's not looking good that body contact brought the symptoms back.

Through Crosby's 420 NHL games and The first 431 Lindros played, they're within 0.0016 points per game of one another, Lindros barely ahead.

He'll be back. He just needs to get fully healthy again. He's got about 4 more years in him at this rate (and about 150 games!)

Wow - usually you just talk jibba-jabba (to me), but this is VERY interesting. It shall be the workplace discussion topic of the day! No work for us

Doesn't help the fact he could't look up when he had the puck. The guy looked like he was searching for quarters on the ice.

Giroux is officially diagnosed with a concussion

Flyers will be moving 19 year old Couturier to play between Hartnell and Jagr ...

Pronger, Schenn, and now Giroux to the press box with Concussions. ****.

 

[paulster2626]

So many concussions. What's wrong with hockey?

That's because I'm much better at talking the game rather than getting mixed up in childish pissing contests. I'm a contributing member on hockey specific forum and the conversation there is usually amongst folks very knowledgeable about the game and there are rarely insults and bullsh*t. Some trash talk, definitely, but nothing stupid.

Lindros did have a problem keeping his head up and it cost him his career. Still would be awesome to see a guy with his stature, style, and talent get in the league today.

Players are faster and stronger. Plus, the league is more aware of them these days.

Well, perhaps someone who kept his head up more in his stature.

Crosby must have "Foligno Flu", cleverly disguised as concussion symptoms. Out again just in time for Friday's game against the Sens....

Rangers v "Dallas", the team we got Richards from, pause, is about to commence. Let the ass whooping begin.......

Ps Yeah, I know were gonna lose cause i posted this.....

He didn't want any of the Flyers last week either...

It's weird this year with Ovie out to lunch and basically no Crosby...

We can be obnoxious without being dicks to each other. Trash talking about our teams and the game doesn't need to include being an assh*le and insulting. I'm not singling anyone out, just saying.

 

[Northjerzyg]

Goalie out of crease, gets run over, again. And of course, Dallas gets a power play. WTF!

 

[jtkratzer]

What is wrong with the Caps this year? They're tied for 8th in the East with two other teams. Ovie's not himself (loving that on my fantasy roster), coach fired..

And the Flyers are just dominating the Csps tonight. 3-0 with about 25 minutes left.

 

[Northjerzyg]

Took off on 1-2-12 just for the winter classic. Let's Go RaNGerS!!!!!

 

[arturo7]

pffft

Goalies are not fair game in or out of the crease.

 

[jtkratzer]

4-0, and now 5-0.

Bingo. Not only did they lose, but a shutout.

 

[jtkratzer]

With the Caps loss and the other game results, Caps fall from 8th to 12th in the East...7-0 start, 9-2 through the first 11, and have gone 6-11-1 since. If they don't get this figured out who's going to be on the trading block to mix things up? Is Ovechkin untouchable?

I think Semin will be the first to go..

 

[paulster2626]

Semin for sure.

But who cares about all this today. I believe... yes.... I think it's true.....

24/7 Flyers/Rags starts tonight!!! Yippeee!!
