Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

[day_trippr]

Color me sad, but the Bruins/TB game has been postponed 'til whenever. No game tonight.

Apparently we got three times what Michigan got. They had the cold, but we had the cold plus a bazillion tons of moisture rolling up the coast. Et voila, I had ~30" of powder to get rid of...

Cheers!

 

[jtkratzer]

good ridence, yes he was institutional in winning the cup a few years ago, no one can deny that. but as a fan he is the worst person to watch play in a game. his style of reactionary play is so over the top that its super frustrating to be a fan of. I always here everyone comment "oh wow he made so many sportscenter highlight reel saves last night".... yeah, because he was caught with his pants around his ankles out of position so he had to flop to try and make something of it...

when he's on fire he's great to watch, its exciting. but more often than not he ends up on his stomach or ass 4ft out of the net and people just dump in easy goals... and no one much cares for your dramatics. When a pro team wins, they go to the white house as a complimentary visit, you arent going there to hold office you narcissistic prick. no one cares what your beliefs or stances are, your not someone whos political opinion ANYONE cares about.. your job can be performed (better actually) by a wall... so when it comes to your stances on abortion or taxes, do us all a favor and shut up. you are a dog and pony show for some white house photo opps for a day, nothing more.

i have never been a fan of timmy from the start, and i was the same way when they won, i was excited the bruins won, could recognize that thomas played awesome towards the end, but certainly didnt jump on the bandwagon that idolized him around the city...

exactly, shut the $@#& up and smile for the camera, like you're being paid to do

As long as people who make a living portraying people other than themselves (typically fictional people) think they have any reason to open their mouths and speak about politics, I don't have a problem with professional athletes doing the same. So many of the idiot actors from Hollyweird don't have a clue what they're talking about, but because of their A-list rating and celebrity status, they feel entitled to making themselves look like idiots in the global media.

I'm guessing if he were speaking out in favor of Obamanation, no one would be complaining, they'd likely be celebrating him exercising his 1st Amendment rights. But as an American, and athlete, he's not entitled to speak/voice his opinion because he disagrees with the current President's ideology and direction he's pushing the country?

I know, that blows!! I was really looking forward to a game tonight. The leafs are playing the Canadians. That should be a good game. I want to watch some Hockey tonight and drink a bunch of beers. Ya know what I'm saying.

 

[paulster2626]

The Habs make even the Maple Leafs look like an all-star team. Holy hell that's some major french suckage there.

Canadians are getting stomped!

When the Gustavsson/J. van Riemsdyk trade happened, I immediately declared that Toronto got the better deal by far. But watching him light it up night after night, I have to say that Toronto got a better deal than even I had originally thought!

 

[Bulls Beers]

5-0..Yikes! Not as good of a game as I thought..Boston/Buffalo should be a good game tomorrow night. I hope anyway.

It was Schenn for JVR.

Burke is a genius.

 

[Goofynewfie]

I was shocked to see Burke get fired. Other than the Kessel trade you can't really argue with many of the moves he made. Even the Kessel is not that bad if people would stop putting unrealistic expectations on him. He is not and never has been a great defensive player or a vocal leader. He scores 30-40 goals a year, every year. You can teach defense, but goal scorers are born

In vancouver he drafted the Sedins, in anaheim he had the Pronger trade. He is in the same class as Sinden, Sam pollok , etc

 

[emjay]

Heh, so it was. Not sure why I said otherwise. Still, the assessment stands, even if the trade wasn't QUITE so lopsided. Awesome pickup.

I know Reimer just recorded a shutout against a (supposedly) better team, but I really do think a better goaltender is the biggest piece of the puzzle left. With a top goalie between the pipes, I'm sure the Leafs could go far.

 

[jtkratzer]

I'm glad to see JvR doing well, but he had streaks like this is Philly as well. Hopefully he continues to play well and develops consistency, something he was unable to do here.

 

[Rubes]

Best game the Leafs have played in years. Reminded me of the Roberts, Tucker, Domi days. I disagree about goaltending being the last piece of the puzzle though. Reimer has been great so far, and there are no elite goalies on the market right now anyway. I'm a firm believer that a trade for Luongo would be a colossal mistake. I think more than anything TO needs a legitimate number one center who can take the puck to the net and get in the dirty areas. The Leafs have been lacking a true center ever since Sundin left. Bozak is great, but he should be a 2nd or 3rd line center. I'd like to see the Leafs make a serious attempt to sign Getzlaf in the summer, but failing that a trade might need to take place. I believe that need is more pressing than the need for a goaltender.

Also, loved McLaren smiling at Gorges during that entire fight. Too funny.

 

[schmoe]

Red Wings are finally looking good but let in another goal right before the end of the period.

Yeah, they played like the Red Wings we're familiar with yesterday against Edmonton. Let's hope they don't run out of gas before the third period starts.

Cleary looks terrible again though. Let's Kopitar free for the first goal and takes yet another stupid penalty.

 

[dudius]

What an end to the Detroit/LA game! Kings tie it in the last minute of regulation and Red Wings bring it back to the net, Franzen shoots and the puck is frozen. Kings win faceoff but Ericsson manages to shoot, deflects and rolls on its side slowly past the line at around the 4 second mark. Wings win 3-2

So, Toronto fans...what kind of beer would you say pairs well with sweaty forearm?

So, you, like, can give Grabovski a good recommendation for the next time he goes vampire...

I can't remember the last time I stuck my arm in someone's mouth and I, like, didn't get bitten.

All part of the Habs beatdown in Montreal. What a great day.

 

[Rubes]

I would say Paciorertty needs to stop whining. Grabo was already tangled up with Prust, and then he comes along and smothers his mouth and nose from behind. What did he think was going to happen? Whether he bit him or not is debatable, but if you shove your arm into someone's open mouth you're probably going to feel teeth.

I know you were just making a joke, I'm just throwing that out there because so many of these Habs fans are calling for Grabovski's head now. Sore losers.

 

[Channel66]

Man without Ryan Miller the sabres would be a hurting unit

 

[Painty]

go wings !!!!

 

[day_trippr]

Jeeze, this game would be like 80-zip if Miller wasn't standing on his head. I hope he doesn't keep it up through the third.

[edit] Honest to Gawd, the guy's gonna be all over Youtube if he keeps this up...

[last_edit] Another win by the Bs!

Cheers!

I wonder if the Habs fans have called the RCMP over this one yet. They're still whining about this 2 days later. What a bunch of nancies.

 

[paulster2626]

Hey Kratz, it's on tongiht. Old-time hockey is back in Toronto. Problem is the LEafs don't bother playing with any effort at home on Mondays. I expect a full steamrolling by Philly unless Carlyle can somehow light a fire under some lazy Leaf ass today.

Actually, the schedule says next game isn't until Thursday. That means the threat of a bag-skate will be looming over the team's head tonight. I expect a full-on stellar performance. Philly ain't got jack ****. Bunch o' *******, just like their blowhard fans.

I came here to post much of the same seeing what's on the docket tonight. We'll see if JvR is willing to go into those dirty areas tonight against his old team. We'll see if how he takes some hits from Grossman, Schenn, or any of the others back there.

Rinaldo didn't fight on Saturday, so he's due to beat someone down tonight.

Flyers haven't been as bad on the road as they have been this season (1-5-0) or had a negative goal differential in a long time. Penalty kill is finally getting things under control, killing 20 of the last 22.

Some intriguing numbers from the preview:

A visit to Toronto would seem like a good place to start for Philadelphia as it's won five in a row there. The Flyers have also taken five straight overall in the series and are 9-1-0 in their last 10 against the Maple Leafs (7-5-0)...

Toronto has been outscored 16-4 in its five straight home losses to Philadelphia, falling 7-1 in the most recent March 29.

We'll see what happens, but I'm looking for a 5-2 Philly win tonight. Briere loves playing Toronto, 43 points in 40 career games. Maybe we'll see some fireworks.

Either way, the home team sucks at home and the road team sucks on the road so far this year. Something interesting is bound to happen.

I saw the clip Sunday during the Wings game, the FSD commentators all said the dude shouldn't have put his arm around another man's face and he was in the wrong in the first place.

I kind of agree on that. He should have pulled the jersey over the guy's head and pounded his face until this front teeth are knocked out. You know, the way the game is SUPPOSED to be played!

How do you do that when you're trying to jump the guy from behind?

Anyway, no suspension for Grabo. Party on, boys.
