Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

[schmoe]

With the trade for Gagne complete, Flyers also seeking to get Lindros, Recchi, LeClair, Roenick, and Desjardins to come out of retirement to join Knuble, Gagne, and Fedetanko to get the band back together from years back.

Is Homer digressing into Bob Clarke in his attempt to get old players, past their prime in Orange and Black? I was always a fan of Gagne, but it seems this is the year of bringing back guys from years ago that probably aren't going to get much done for them.

Sounds like the Red Wings with Samuelsson. He has played a whole 3 games (?) so far this year.

Flyers looking good tonight.

Flyers looking good tonight.

And Holtby looks pretty bad...

 

[MeatyPortion]

Wow. Milbury just went off about Ovechkin. Someone youtube that.

 

[MeatyPortion]

Is Ovechkin drunk?

 

[emjay]

BS penalty shot for Grabovski... He definitely would have scored easily had he not been interfered with, as that entire side of the net had been wide open.

So cheating to prevent a goal that was pretty much a sure thing was "punished" by giving him an opportunity to score a penalty shot against one of the best goalies in the game (Price), and quite predictably failed.

Yes, I know those are the rules, but the would be goal was just so guaranteed that it hurts. Hell, if the teams had been reversed, I would very likely commend the guy that took the penalty for making such a smart play. But it still hurts.

Bah... Montreal appeared to be exacting revenge on Toronto for the 6-0 embarrassment earlier in the season. 5-2 isn't quite as big a blowout, but it's still no bueno.

Datsyuk is definitely trying to work his magic, doing some creative stuff tonight

 

[dudius]

Ugh, horsesh!t.

looks like the temp NFL refs now have a job in the NHL..wtf!? what ever. im going to go punch babies now.

Can't blame the loss on no-calls and penalties, but I think they shifted the momentum a bit.

yeah, you cant win with out scoring. but i can say if the hit on Smith had been called, Wings would more then likely end up winning.

Speaking of the Dead Wings, it looks like they're playing the Avalanche tonight. How many brawls will this game result in?

 

[dudius]

Um....why does it appear there are a bunch of broken image links?

 

[jtkratzer]

Flyers looking good tonight.

And Holtby looks pretty bad...

Flyers dominated every aspect of that game. Washington hasn't consistently played well the entire season other than their previous streak of winning 5 of 7, and the Flyers jumped all over them and actually played the entire game, like they did against the Islanders in the 7-0 win.

Grubauer made some pretty nice saves to keep it at 4 goals for the Flyers.

Thoughts on HarryZ's hit at the end where he got 5/10 for kneeing?

Is Ovechkin drunk?

Pretty funny when his moves were so good he couldn't even handle it.

 

[paulster2626]

The Montreal Canadiens will win the Stanley Cup.

Hmm... They are not playing the Avalanche tonight. What are you some sort of post repeating spam botter??



Did not stay up for game last night. Unless they are played on a weekend, I just cannot stay up for west coast games. I'll be happy once the Wings move to the East and we can lose some of those sandman games.

I don't think the Wings will have their player roster figured out by the time the season ends. Too many injuries and odd pairings.

 

[dudius]

Yeah the roster is a freaking mess. I'm getting a little tired of reading MLive and finding two or three articles per day which detail the injuries and players moving between Detroit and Grand Rapids. I have a hard time keeping track of all the names.

 

[Amff]

Penner just skated by. He did not even touch him 😃 I think the wings stole one in Detroit and we stole one last night. The wings played better but we will take the W. Need all the points we can.

So that isn't hitting someone? I get that it wasn't an intentional headshot and wasn't the initial point of contact, but he made no attempt at missing him.

 

[paulster2626]

WTF was that? It was like he was going to have a concussion at that moment in time no matter what. Not Penner's fault the guy's brains were apparently going to crumble to a pile of mush the next time he got shoved. Yes, shoved, not hit, shoved. I've never seen anything liek that before.

Smith is faking!

He did hit him I was joking. Unfortunately I'm not that familiar with the vernacular I was suppose to use after that comment to indicate this. Someone should bring me into the know.

And that is the fun of the internet.

 

[jtkratzer]

I don't see a hit to the head at all. I see shoulder to shoulder and barely a bump, which leads to what looks like whiplash causing the skull to flip over toward the other player's shoulder. Foul breath might have done more damage.

 

[schmoe]

Either way I am not saying it was a headshot or should be penalized as a headshot. What would a penalty on that be, interference?

You can't call a penalty for someone being a pu$$y.

I get bumped harder than that in my no-contact men's league, where most guys don't even wear shoulder pads.

I didn't see a penalty...I saw incidental contact and a guy fell over like he took one on the chin from Mike Tyson. I didn't see the game, did he come back? Out for the game? Diagnosed with a concussion? I ask because if he was trying to draw a penalty, that's awful. It's as bad as Ovechkin barely getting bumped in the visor by a stick last night and going down to his knees, bent over backwards, almost in this position, head thrown back and all:

I'm calling unsportsmanlike on any player, every single time with that kind of flair and dramatics.

Just like the broadcasters in the Caps/Flyers game calling it a "solid veteran move" when a player grabs a defenders stick, tucks it under his arm, and clamps down it with the chicken wing to draw a hooking penalty. That's not a solid veteran move, it's f**cking cheating to create a penalty call that didn't exist.

I wouldn't mind seeing either the boarding call not made or a penalty on the player with the puck when he turns at the last second to face the boards, takes the boarding hit, and puts himself in that position.

I'd love to see guys just stop with the dramatics and play the damn game like men.

We get it, you're Canadian.

?? I'm a terrible hockey player.

You don't play hockey? Figured most people who watch hockey would play it in one form or another. I can't think of a sport I'd watch without actually wanting to do it on my terrible out-of-shape level.



But I guess it's cool to whine and dwell on a player collapsing after a tiny love-tap. A 9 year old girl could've handled that "hit". Dude needs to grow a pair - of ovaries.

 

[dudius]

I was just joking. My family never had the money for my siblings or I to play hockey, I can't ice skate but I have some hockey inline skates and a stick. Nobody around here plays inline hockey, though. I'm not sure how many around here even play rec league ice hockey above the peewee level.

 

[emjay]

Kadri with an incredible hat trick. I've been a fan of the kid since before he was even called up from the Marlies... always knew there was something special about him.

And the Leafs' other goal just gave JVR more goals so far this season than he had all of last season with Philly
