Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

[paulster2626]

Wow - the Oilers are a complete joke of an organization. Not only a ****ty hockey team, but a terrible front office as well.


Listen to the new GM - what an idiot:

Craig MacTavish: “I think any time you win five Stanley Cups, there’s a certain amount of mess that comes on the tail-end of all that success. It’s the cyclical nature of the business. We kind of semi-jokingly talk about the price we’re still paying for all that success in the ‘80s and early ‘90s that still has a residual effect on where we are right now. "

W. T. F.

It gets better...

Kevin Lowe: ” I would, uh, I think it’s safe to say that half the general managers in the National Hockey League would trade their roster for our roster right now."

HUH??

Alot of people in edmonton are questioning hiring MacTavish. did you see the press conference?? even the reporters were asking why

Yes, it's totally bizarro world over there.

Katz must not be a total moron, right? I mean, he's got to see that Lowe is really screwing this whole thing up. Not sure what's happening, or if there's even a real game plan. Does he really want to run this thing in to the ground and move to Seattle or something?

 

[Goofynewfie]

I really dont know what the thought process was on this one. Darcy Regier was available and is from Alberta. a lot of people were saying he was the logical choice, which I can understand. but why MacT?? has no experience, and the orginization already said he wasn't good enough to be GM a few years ago

He's a former Oiler. It's the same reason that Washington went with Dale Hunter and now Adam Oates.

Yes he is,but I dont think he is the right guy for the job. Its time they got rid of the "old boys club" and looked for the best person for the job, not matter where they come from

Well, last night was a joke, but being the second night of back-to-back games, with Scrivens in net, I had pretty much written the game off anyways. Hopefully they'll use that lubeless anal raping as a learning opportunity for what inevitably happens when they keep allowing themselves to get outshot.

I mean, the Caps are probably the hottest team in the league right now - they'd possibly be in first right now if they hadn't started out so terribly (even if they had started the season at .500, I think - but time and time again, teams that consistently allow themselves to get so badly outshot end up choking hard at one point or another.

Toronto only really needs two wins to clinch though, so chances are good that we'll at least have the opportunity to choke in the playoffs. The 2004-05 lockout marked the beginning of a (league-worst) agonizingly-long playoff drought, and (at the risk of bodily harm or even death that very likely might befall me after jinxing the entire city), I'm going to go ahead and declare said playoff drought ended by the 2012-13 lockout.

At least it's apt, if nothing else. :fro:

Caps are insane right now - I would not want to face them in the first round, that's for sure.

Saw this loss coming a mile away. Leafs were playing 3rd game in 4 nights - Washington was rested since Saturday. Toronto has now played NINE games back-to-back, where the other team was fully rested. Stupid schedule, but hey better to do things the hard way.

2nd regulation loss in what, 14 games? That's fine with me.

Even if the Leafs go 0-5-0 from this point on, there is only a 6% chance they miss the post season.

Not arguing, I'm just saying it's the reason he's GM and that's probably the only reason. Plus he never wore a helmet so he's arguably recognizable and memorable even to casual hockey fans.

How many goals does it take to chase Price from the net


Edit- nvm was brewing at the.start of the game and just assumed price started... Since he's been a siv lately.

Still... He was tapped for as many as Budaj!

Subban ain't nothin but a punk! Learn to fight in the NHL!

 

[DerrangedPOJO]

Subban charged just to get thrown out so he didnt have to fight.... what a whimpy way out. If you watched the game you can see where he charged for no reason after being in a fight with i believe marrow.

If you're a good lip reader, you can see Morrow saying "You have 5 minutes to think about what I'm going to do to you" when they were in the sin bin. All of a sudden that sh!tty smile P.K. had on his face was gone. What an a$$clown!!

It's a shame that Morrow woln't get another shot at him this season since the habs will have an early 1st round exit

I was making fun of the habs the other night (see photo with cartoon ponies in it earlier), and my Habs-loving friend says "you shouldn't laugh during the regular season. They're poised for a first-round massacre"

Didn't know he was talking about the Canadiens! HA!!

Yea I saw that. It was great. One of the more physical games in a while. I think the canadians have allowed 18 goals n last three games and they clinched? They r having issues!

 

[schmoe]

How about those fantastic goals that Calgary scored last night?

Yup, 12:30.

Now that they have f@cktard #2 pretty well cooked, things should get back to whatever is going to be our New Normal here.

[Why the good guys can't pump some NOX into that boat and get this done is beyond me...]

Cheers!
