Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

[sivdrinks]

WOW! 2-0 is all but even??? Heading home???

Makes sense now about Torts "benching" Gaborik, and not wanting to comment on it. Looking back, was he "pouting" at the end of the bench, or wincing? Either way, it's the playoffs, and sh*t happens.

Two overtime games, they're pretty even I'd say. Besides, Kings suck at home, they lost twice there!

Rrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiigggggggggghhhhtttt...

It's over, thanks for saving us the embarrassing sweep in the finals.........

 

[Cromwell]

What's really sad is, the Kings are having an amazing pos-season.... and L.A. is so enamored of Kobe that most of L.A. doesn't even know the Kings are in the final.

 

[drkwoods]

People in LA know about the Kings people don't know about the ducks

Thanks for the prediction, you've sucked at it so far!

The Pens just snagged Vokoun, interesting.

 

[emjay]

Man, 5:00 game in LA. Most people are either commuting home or still at work. Kind of sucks for them, but pretty much validates the idea that nobody cares about the West.

 

[sivdrinks]

Not sure that's an upgrade over Johnson, both in their upper 30's I'd guess.

I was going to say that they should really focus on getting some defenceman instead, but...

Vokoun for a 7th round pick? That's practically a freebie. Is he really that worthless? That's gotta do some serious damage to the ego.

And your boy Marty is in his 40's. Your point??

Hes a unrestrictrd free agent on july
1. Just gives them one month of exclusive negotiations before free agency

So what incentive is there for Vokoun to not just wait?

 

[sivdrinks]

I think he should retire, I'd like to see them go after someone like Schneider. I love the guy, but his best days are behind him. If he got hurt right before the playoffs no one would've worried about Mooses capabilities. I guess Vokoun for a 7th rounder is a great deal, just not sure he's an upgrade over Johnson.

Screw that. I wanna see Schneider in Toronto.

Or Luongo, if the Canucks decide to go that way. He's already said he'd waive his no-trade clause if they ask him to, but I imagine he'd try to get himself traded to Tampa Bay if that's the case, and the Lightning are desperate for a good goalie.

I'm not a Luongo fan, you can have him. I'm not sure Lou would tell Marty it's time to go, but would you wanna retire after losing the Cup? Devils have had great success bringing guys from within the farm system, goalies always seem to be a bit tricky though. Maybe Marty stays another year and splits time with a rookie but I doubt it.

4 million reasons. He just signed a 2 year $4 mil deal with the Penguins, said in an interview it's a great hockey town and he hopes to win a cup with them.

That's not really an incentive though. I doubt Pittsburgh would take the offer off the table, but competing offers could possibly improve his deal.

Unless Vokoun doesn't think other teams will offer anywhere near that much, in which case Pittsburgh knows they can offer him less because he has no other option. But I doubt it. If it were all that likely, then Pittsburgh would have little need to pay the extra money AND give up a draft pick. Not to mention that there are a LOT of teams looking for goalies this year...

... and speaking of which, I'm not saying I'd prefer Luongo over Schneider. But Vancouver is only going to give up one of them, and either way, it'll still be the best goalie available for a team to acquire. And either one of them would be a major improvement for the Leafs, so I'd still support picking up Luongo if he's the one that's available. But if it happens to be Schneider, you can DIAF if you think you're going to take him from us

WHO'S READY FOR 2TEAMS1CUP??!?

 

[emjay]

Kings off to a great start.

 

[sivdrinks]

Kings off to a great start.

I guess we really are watching different games, Devils are controlling the puck yet again. Yes I know, they haven't scored. Y'all make it sound like the Kings are beating teams 5-1 every night.

 

[sivdrinks]

Changed my mind, these guys suck.

 

[sivdrinks]

Honestly, wtf are the Devils doing? Do they think they get 2 points for a pretty goal as opposed to a regular goal? Brutal, I'd just forfeit an further power plays.

The Kings are a defensive team. Blowouts like that aren't what they do. Devils have had some good chances too, especially AFTER I said that, but I didn't even say they were playing worse than LA, simply that I liked the way LA is starting off.

And last game you said the Devils were dominating 90% of the time, where I don't know of a single other person (impartial or even Devil's fans) who thought that they dominated even 50% of the time. So if YOU happen think the Devils are in control, I'm feeling pretty good about LA!

 

[Northjerzyg]

Suck it Marrrrty, Woooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

 

[sivdrinks]

Fixed. Terrible non whistle.

 

[Northjerzyg]

Conspiracy?? Hahahahahahah........

 

[Northjerzyg]

LA almost has a Marty chant going........ Sounds good guys, keep at it........

 

[sivdrinks]

Conspiracy? Of course. Yes, it almost sounded like they have 100 real fans that can read the jumbo-tron. Did you play golf with the Rangers today? You know, cause the Devils knocked them out the other week.

 

[Northjerzyg]

I don't say fore, I say, fish on. And yes, its been goin well......

Love having nothing at stake, other than reveling in the Debbies misery!! Mmmmmmm.....

 

[Northjerzyg]

Take that, take that........

MAAAAAAARRRRRTTTYYY!!!!!!!!!
