Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

I've been since middle school. Thought their logo was cool, very metal to like the DEVIL! I'm kinda an underdog guy too, they were pretty bad back then.

2.
Hmmm. I think in pro sports they would like all the teams to at least be competitive. In life, I guess that's debatable and not welcome here. Maybe over that beer!

Too many Deviant Dales last night.

 

[jtkratzer]

Could someone maybe delete the last couple posts? Too many Deviant Dales last night.

Go back and click the edit button and change the text to whatever you want...however, the posts where you were quoted by emjay will still show your original comments unless he edits his posts, too.

I deleted mine so that he can get rid of it if he wants. He'll have to edit them though, as only premium members can delete their posts.

****ing zillionaire asshats. The side that will be hurt most is the fans

Like they care. We're all just a bunch of sheep as far as they're concerned.



not saying it ain't true...

It is true.

First lockout - just a shortie, shortened season - hockey's back! YAY!! Fans return in record numbers and League enjoys greatest revenue ever.
......
time passes
......
Second lockout - whole year this time, yikes. It's over! Hockey's back! SUPER YAY!!!!!! Fans return in even greater numbers and spend even more money. League goes bonkers with it's new found goldmine of revenue.
.....
time passes
.....
What will happen this time? I can tell you, it won't be the fans who aren't coming back. They come back in record numbers every time.

Hell, if I were running the league, I wouldn't care either. Funny that Rogers/Bell just bought MLSE, and now the Leafs won't be pulling in their millions for the first eyear that they own it. Wonder if OTPP saw this one coming...

Okay seriously WTF is this NHL13 crap - I've played like 3 games now and I can't score to save my life. This is impossible.

 

[paulster2626]

Okay Bruins vs. Blue Jackets - this should be a cakewalk!


...aaaand 4-1 shellacking. At least I scored.

Just got the Stanley Cup Edition in the mail :rockin:

Haven't played it yet.

Jealous!! I gotta hit up Game Stop on the way home tomorrow, payday, woohoo!!!

On a hockey (@$$hat) note, maybe if more of the powers that be were actual fans of the game instead of businessmen, we wouldn't have these issues ever several years:

........it's hard to look at a picture of Gary Bettman without recalling the going-away present one NBA general manager sent the soon-to-be-named NHL commissioner........

"I gave Gary a puck," Pat Williams, Orlando's GM at the time, chuckled, "and he spent the rest of the day trying to open it up."

I know that's a pipe dream, and wholly the opinion of this fan. And don't get me wrong, I love how the popularity of the game has grown under the current comish, but the thought of another winter without hockey isn't one that I enjoy having.
I'm hoping that they get this thing hashed out so that NHL '13 isn't the only thing hockey that we have to look forward to this season (although I'm really looking forward to it!).

So will there be a lockout or what?

They basically neutered the cross crease goal; which is awesome in a way, but now some of the shots that are going in are garbage.

I like it a lot, but playing EASHL last night, my friends and I got crushed. I have like 8 points in 11 games and most are assists from winning faceoffs and the computer scoring off the draw.

The new skating system looks awesome but also looks like it'll have quite a learning curve.

EA screwed the pooch and all my (and everyone else's, apparently) Stanley Cup Edition goodies aren't accessible, and we'll need to be given new sets of codes. So I still haven't played it yet... just got Skyrim anyways.

It comes in a Steelbook case, and I will say that, especially without the plastic overlay, the case itself is just a thing of absolute beauty.

I really like the new skating a lot. I haven't played a regular game yet, just the online team play. I'm definitely still adjusting, i find myself hitting the left trigger a lot when i shouldn't anymore. I need to break my habits from '12.

I'm sure it's because my guy is rated a 58, but sometimes it feels like he is skating on mud.

Did you hear some team in the echl has offered Justin Bieber a tryout???

I consulted the perfectly accurate Magic 8 Ball and 4 out of 5 times it replied "Outlook not so good". And one of the 5 times it told me to ask again.

So I guess the outlook is not so good.


Maybe I should be happy that I am about 15 minutes from Ferris State Bulldog Hockey and about 3 hours closer to Griffins Hockey than I am to Red Wings hockey.

Plus my kid may play for the Western Michigan Broncos Pep band this year, so there may be some Broncos hockey to watch.

It ain't so bad I guess.

 

[crosschk]

Closest thing I have lockout or not is the Hershey Bears. I'll have to check them out this year

I guess that's a better name than the Hershey Squirts.

Looks like I will be hitting more Griffins games this year.

True but both will get crap on the ice

 

[Boleslaus]

There will definitely be a lockout. I just hope that they can get it resolved come sometime late October so we can have hockey by time winter gets here.

 

[arturo7]

I'll need to drive to three hours to Bakersfield for puck.

These are the knuckleheads that offered J Bieber a contract.

Guess I just have to say **** hockey...

 

[Boleslaus]

At least I still get to PLAY hockey. To me that's much more important than paying to watch...
