Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

Booom!
Go nucks!
Looked like a good game. Big solid effort from both goalies.

And the jets are third in the conference!

Any one care to tell me how this automatic third thing works? Is it just because they took the division lead? Will they stay there if they hold the lead on the division?

Yep. Division leaders are ranked 1-2-3, followed by everyone else.

That was a great icing call with 30 seconds left in the game.

What do you mean? He was obviously trying his hardest to reach the puck before it crossed the line. Full strides and everything!

I'd like to blame the refs for the loss, but the simple fact is, the Wings didn't play well enough to beat a team as good as Vagcouver. They picked it up at the end, and I thought some of the team played outstanding, but the first 2 lines weren't bringing it hard enough.

It's only an icing call games are full of questionable icings or should of been calls.

Detroit had equal chance to win the face-off which came from this.
They also had equal chance to win the game in OT and SO.
Dry your eyes mate. Every team loses sometimes.

Leafs are getting raped, but damn the Sharks are fun (and annoying!) to watch.

Especially as a fan.

What is hockey? Is that a new Canadian Lager? Can I buy it in the states?

Most of the really odd calls seemed to come in the first half of the game and then it settled into a good game. Wings were lucky to come out of the first period alive. They looked terrible to start the game.

The third line continues to amaze me and I really like picking Quincy back up.

I agree that they could have won the face off, OT or SO. However, if the icing isn't called, Luongo doesn't get out of net for the face off and it remains 5 on 5 hockey. I am ok with them losing a game against the Canucks. Not as bad as the games against the Islanders or the Habs.

I have my fingers crossed that Brian Burke makes a move for a big, stay at home defenceman who can win battles in the corners. They've been losing a lot of one goal games recently, and I think it all comes back to defence and goaltending. Gustavsson and Reimer are inexperienced still and it shows, but a lot of goals could be avoided if the defence wasn't leaving them out to dry.

The Wings just have to blame themselves for that 3rd goal. They saw 10 seconds left and just collapsed towards the puck behind the net. All 5 guys below the bottoms of the circles...that's just defensive zone 101. Franzen could have blocked that if he had been 5 feet farther out.

And that isn't the first time this season they have been scored on because of the same type of situation.

Spot on.

I was like, WTF?? Here it comes...

 

[Homercidal]

Oh, and I just gotta ask...

Schmoe, do you have a PHD in Horribleness??

Indeed. And I am going to have the songs stuck in my head again all day.

 

[schmoe]

I'll be at the game tomorrow so I am hoping that the first two lines play a heck of a lot better than last night.

With the current lines, I think the 3rd line should be getting more minutes than the 2nd line.

 

[Homercidal]

What a crazy random happenstance!

 

[Homercidal]

Ok, I'm done now.

 

[schmoe]

Ok, I'm done now.

Any dolt with half a brain can see that humankind has gone insane, to the point where I don't know if I'll upset the status quo if I throw poison in the water main. Listen close to everybody's heart and hear that breaking sound. Hopes and dreams are shattering apart and crashing to the ground. I cannot believe my eyes... how the world's filled with filth and lies. But it's plain to see, evil inside of me is on the rise.

 

[Homercidal]

This appeared as a moral dilemma
Cause at first it was weird though I swore to eliminate
The worst of the plague that devoured humanity
It’s true I was vague on the ‘How’
so how can it be that you have shown me the light?

It’s a brand new day
And the sun is high
All the birds are singing
That you’re gonna die

How I hesitated
Now I wonder why
It’s a brand new day

After watching the Griffins Wednesday, Conklin doesn't look terrible in the AHL. Imagine that.

 

[Northjerzyg]

Let's go Blueshirts, forget about the trade rumors and dont sleep on a struggling hometown rival. KEEP ROLLING!!!!!

Let's GO RAngERs!!!!!!!!

 

[Northjerzyg]

It's a Power Play Goal!!!!!!! Refuse to lose!! What whag, fu Long Island.........

 

[Northjerzyg]

Ok, so they lost. Biron still not on top of his game but picked up 1 point anyway. Good thing is, no shootouts in the playoffs.

 

[Northjerzyg]

**Just a reminder** Rangers still on top of east with a win over buffalo last night!!!

And apparently getting punched in the face pissed Malkin off somethin aweful. He's still a ****** though..........

 

[arturo7]

What the snot's up with Sanford's pads?

He looks like a goddamned smurf.

Yeah, they gotta be some of the ugliest things I've seen in a while. Maybe he is hoping to blind Malkin with them. I guess isn't working, now 2-1 Pens.

No mention on the thread of the 8-1 thrashing the Penguins gave to Tampa Bay yesterday. I'm hoping that Tampa Bay holds their lead on the Devils (and of course that the Penguins can keep Columbus from scoring/winning).

Edit: WTF, a second goal was taken away on Kunitz, this time supposedly goalie interference where the goalie came out and banged into him.

 

[SPLASTiK]

Cody Hodgson for Zack Kassian.... Hmmmm

 

[Northjerzyg]

Rangers v devils tonight baby!! Let's GO!!!!!

 

[Northjerzyg]

Not sure I'd want to give up Duubs or Mcdonaugh for Nash. Don't fix what ain't broke...... But if we get him and he's productive, Great move!!!!

 

[Northjerzyg]

Henrik!! Henrik!! Henrik!! Rags, 2 more points baby!! Nother shutout!!! Woooooooooooo!! Devils WHO!!
