Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

Wings had their Red/White game last night with the GR Griffins. Good game. Started VERY fast and sloppy, but eventually everyone calmed down and started looking pretty decent.

Too bad it was basically a no check game and some players played on both sides to practice the power play (Which Detroit REALLY needs to improve on this year!). Really nice to see the young guys out there. Chad Billins looked pretty solid. He played on Ferri's NCAA finals team last season and got in at GR on try-out.

The Griffins are actually being flown to their next game on Redbird 3. Otherwise they couldn't have played the scrimmage in Plymouth and gotten there in time by bus.

 

[FreshZ]

Hahah Carlo Colaiacovo is already injured and training camp hasn't even started yet. Red Wings fans better get used to this.

Lol. Glad the blues finally let go of that one. Good luck with him. He can be a good player when healthy.

On a side note, is there any way the Blues don't win the central again this year? I can't wait to see if Tarasanko is the real deal.

hard to tell since we really wont get a look at any of the other teams befor the season starts this sat. Id say Chi looks good with the team they have. not sure they will pull it off. Kane will prolly show up drunk or hung over for most of the games anyway. If the Wings can get some chemistry goin they will have a shot. Blues still seem a pretty well put together team as well. gonna be fun and fast.

I think the Wings have a great group of players and just gotta figure out their lines, plays, and keep up the energy during their grueling travel schedule. Luckily all the other teams are in a similar position with travel so we'll see how all of the teams do under the extra stress. I think we will see some awesome hockey this year, despite the BS that the lockout put us through.

 

[Homercidal]

Plus, of course, the Wings and one other team get to travel a lot more due to being in the wrong conference...

 

[dudius]

They have a good record on the road from what I can recall with the past fee seasons. Just something to showcase their talent.

Bruins had a Black and Gold game last night... supposed to be the same, a game type scrimmage.

Apparently some of the Providence guys needed to be put into their place and some fisticuffs were displayed.

Hopefully it was more for show and place-putting than for serious, we don't need that kind of bs in the locker room.

Speaking of the Dead Wings, it looks like they're playing the Avalanche tonight.

you mean one of the providence guys one punched a bruin ? I can't find the video again, but yeah.

 

[Gixxer]

The video is on the NHL blog on yahoo sports I saw it yesterday

i wouldnt exactly say it was a one punch fight... neither of them landed a clean shot really...

needless to say it was a little unnecessary for an inter-club scrimmage...

just having a little fun, agreed it's probably unnecessary.

Seriously though, it might be a few months late but i seriously could not be happier to have my Flyers and the NHL back.

Cannot wait to drink a few homebrews and watch the Orange and Black, even better that we start the season off against Pittsburgh.

As much as i cannot stand them, it is ALWAYS an entertaining game between these two teams.

 

[ArcticBear]

my girl and all my college buddies are from Philly so hockey season is a good time. I think i've actually been to more Flyer games in the last year than I went to Bruins games.

Won't wear anything Flyers, but i will wear anything anti-whoever they are playing. I was a huge hit the last time i went (Flyers v. Pens) and wore a "Crosby is a ******" shirt. It's black and Yellow (made my a Bruins fan company) but everyone just figured it was gold so anti pens... needless to say i was a person in many strangers pictures haha

Never understood the butthurt wearing of the "I hate such-and-such" mentality. You should see the tools in Ottawa with all of their Leaf-hating gear. The level of butthurt is quite comical, really.

I enjoy going to Leafs/Habs games - seems it's just Leafs fans cheering for one team, and Habs fans cheering for another. Way more class than you'll find in places like Ottawa and Philly. At least Rangers fans can be hilarious about hating other teams.

I know Philly gets a bad reputation, and i'm up there in terms of hating on fans/people from Philly.

However, I always go out of my way to chat up and make friendly with any out of town/opposing team fans in the building when i make it out to games.

I never understood it.

 

[dudius]

I think Homercidal said something about ticket prices a long while back. I'm glad to see Hockeytown is showing some fan-appreciation. For the first 35 hours that the ticket-office is open (forgot when that actually is/was) they offer all tickets without a service charge and they're also offering select seats at $9 per ticket, four tickets per game per customer and four games per customer. Idc how bad the seats are, $9 would be worth it if o were already near Detroit (it costs me about $100 to drive there).

 

[paulster2626]

Leafs are giving away 7000 free tickets, many for opening night on Monday. They'll be cruising the city looking for fans, and also giving away jerseys, merchandise, and all sorts of fun stuff.

Nonis just released a kind of "we're sorry" video, and today the Leafs put these blocks of ice all over the city with jerseys in them - if you could smash the ice you can keep the jersey! Pretty cool - they're actually doing a hell of a lot more than I thought they would.

 

[Channel66]

Got my table booked at the local hockey bar. Can't wait for tomorrow!

Ps go Bruins

 

[Channel66]

Haha. Got my old school shirt ready

Ever been to Philly?

I'm the same way. Saw the Habs play in Philly on 11/25/11. Flyers won. Talked with Habs fans during the game and after the game about the upcoming trip on 12/15 I was making to see the Flyers in Montreal. Got nothing but friendly conversation.

Fast forward to 12/15. Got treated like a piece of sh*t terrorist at the border for telling the border agent (Canadian) I was driving to Montreal to see the game. For a Canadian to look at me like I had male genitalia growing out of my forehead when discussing anything hockey...that was weird. Also was treated like a piece of sh*t for most of the pregame stuff while wearing my Flyers jersey and swag with three other Flyers fans. The group sitting around us had a good time hassling us, but in a fun way, throughout the game, and we gave it back to them when the Flyers scored and eventually won. And Julien was fired that night. Got some good info on places to see and things to do for the next few days we were in Montreal.

No matter where you go, if it's a city that knows the sport and cares, you're going to get your balls busted. It happens.

I'm frankly tired of all this talk of how classless and whatever else folks want to say about Philly when they've likely never been there and just repeat all the crap they hear on TSN or wherever else. Just like when people bring up stuff about the Eagles fans that took place in the 60s or 70s.

If you're generally not a d*ckhead, if you're home or away, I think you can have a good time with the oppositions' fans.

Most hockey cities and fans are passionate. Every city has their fair share of as*holes. Get over it.

You deserved it just for using the word swag

 

[paulster2626]

jkratzer is the only good Philly fan. We covered this last season. The rest of them just get all whiny about Sidney Crosby due to their homo-erotic fantasies they have about the guy. But Mr. Kratzer - I can guarantee he doesn't have a shirt that says anyone licks balls.

What crowd boos a picture of Sidney Crosby during an in-game charity advertisement? A bunch of lame-o's, that's who.

 

[jtkratzer]

Yeah I used it. Also use it to refer to the stuff a non profit sells that helps out wounded vets in Pa i volunteer with occasionally. That's about the only two times I've used it as I used to hear it used to describe crappy pot.

I don't like him for his antics as much as the next guy and love seeing him get destroyed in the playoffs last year, but I will admit that I recognize and appreciate his talent and exploitation the league used to get the game going post lockout.

I really don't care for his dirty crap when no one is looking and then his running to the officials when he's the "victim," but no amount of discussion online or hassling in person at the games will change that.

Most of the Flyers fans, and hockey fans in general, are good people and enjoyable to hangout out with, even when our teams play against each other.

Geographically, most of my friends are fans of the Atlantic Division teams. Except no one likes the Islanders, or Canada for that matter. And we all get along when watching games together...in front of a TV or live.

 

[BorealBrewer]

Well, everyone....the puck drops in a few hours.

Talk is great - hockey is better.

GO JETS GO!

 

[ArcticBear]

im not one who will start problems with opposing fans, etc... although i have been the victim of it several times (mostly when visiting Philly wearing a bruins jersey)

but the crosby is a ****** shirt is just a great idea to me.

sure he's an awesome player, but i'm so tired of the refs/announcers/league/advertisers all pandering to this scum bag.

if he was a clean player, sure, i'd give him the same level of hatred most people apply to Tom Brady... sure you can hate him all you want, but he's awesome at what he does and lives the life everyone wishes they could. But he's cheap, he's dirty, and he's a whiny little bastid. All he does is beg for calls any time anyone touches him, he dives, his little extra curricular bs behind the refs to antagonize fights when he knows he's under the immediate protection of the officials is horsesht

the tipping point was the beginning of last season when he came out with some league wide PSA about how "guys we really need to take head hits out of the game" (because i am a soft little **** and was injured by one) - don't get me wrong, i dont think theres a place for headshots anywhere in this game... but i'll start caring when your teammate, one of the biggest offenders in the league, is out. Where's Marc Savard? ohhh that's right, he's on the Bruins desk jockey jobs now because of Matt Cooks bullsht blindside hits to the head..

how can you expect to be taken seriously with all of the stuff you pull, while being on one of the dirtiest teams in the league.. malkin and asham are just as bad.

lets go Bruins

It's about time Philly!!! Nice goal to get on the board... Looks like chi town is making LA their bitch for the afternoon...
