Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

[DerrangedPOJO]

what a show by the pens!!!

 

[tyzippers]

I'm amazed at how Neal has stepped it up!! He's was so quiet against the islanders and the first few games against Ottawa, then he wakes up for 5 goals in two games!!

I suspect Boston will close out the rangers tonight. Of course I thought that Thursday night too. That would be a good series!

 

[Bulls Beers]

Next!!!!

 

[j1laskey]

I love handshakes !

 

[Bulls Beers]

I love handshakes !

Yup, great part of the game...One of the coolest things in sports..

 

[63belair]

How bout them bruins !

 

[ArcticBear]

they played great.

krug has out performed any expectations. that kid's got potential.

the next series will certainly be an interesting one. I, however, will likely be watching the games on mute... i don't want to hear the bs commentary thats going to follow this series.

Do like I do and mute the NBC broadcast and listen to the local radio broadcast. It's less annoying if you can sync the video with the radio with a TiVo or something like that!

 

[63belair]

Or move to Canada and watch on tsn. Now that the Canadian teams are out of it they're not totally biased...

Plus you get the old HNIC theme song

Yeah, no boston sports broadcasts down here in Connecticut... That was the worst part about moving down here a year ago

Can't get it on I heart radio or maybe on the BBs mobile app if they have it?

TuneIn is very good, too.

 

[tyzippers]

TuneIn is very good, too.

Never used that. I know that iHeart radio only carries ClearChannel stations though. That might be a deal breaker for some.

 

[ArcticBear]

I'll have to take a look into it.

 

[Bulls Beers]

I'll have to take a look into it.

You cant get 98.5 "The Hub" down there??

 

[Goofynewfie]

See if tsn.ca is streaming games

 

[dudius]

Never used that. I know that iHeart radio only carries ClearChannel stations though. That might be a deal breaker for some.

Some of the stations on TuneIn are dedicated streams for certain sports teams, but it might depend on whether they do their own stream. Last year I couldn't get Red Wings or Tigers games to come in on the radio at work but I could hear the online streams without commercials (just quiet for the breaks).

This season I haven't found a station for the Red Wings but there are radio stations that air the games, such as sports stations out of Detroit. On the computer you can also search for games and pick a station to listen to, often times you can choose between which team's announcers you prefer to listen to.

Nah.. That cuts off a little past worcester. Im still an hour and a half down near new haven.. Ct gets the worst radio in the country. Static from mass, static from hartford, static from long island..no good solid radio or sports radio

 

[Goofynewfie]

Gonna celebrate as soon as I get off work

 

[paulster2626]

As much as I hate Boston, why do I find it so easy to hope they win the whole ******* thing?

Must be a blue-collar thing. Would like to see the gritty c*nts wipe the smug grin off of the Penguins' faces. Plus, since Iggy snubbed 'em to go to a place where he felt he had a better chance of winning a cup, all the more reason to bitch slap him back to the golf course. And sure, it'd be nice to know my beloved Leafers took the Stanley Cup finalists to OT in 7 games.

So yeah, go Bruins.

Western conference? Nobody cares (still).

If you say so (about nobody caring about the West) you go on thinking that way.

 

[Gixxer]

Any one of those west coast teams left will *easily* beat the pens or Boston. Boston's level of play sucked just as bad as the rangers, they only scored more goals. Wait till they play a real team.

Easy for you to say, you're in Canada, where everyone gets an Eh for effort....

Thats usually how a team advances.. (By scoring more goals)

I think the west could be a challenge but their style of play makes them easy to be knocked off their game..i certainly dont think whichever team wins out will walk over the bruins or the pens.

West coast teams are skaters and finesse teams. They dont like playing the grind em out hockey that eastern teams play... They dont like being hit, it knocks them out of their comfort zone. They hit and get hit but its a different game. If it stays physical i take an eastern conference team all day long

(Queue whoever showing big open ice west game hits)

Spoken like a true Toronto fan.

Yeah...that's not true. None of it. At all. I'm guessing you're a Bruins fan and you're basing this assumption on the 2011 SCF. Stay up past 10:00 pm some night and watch any western conference team that isn't Vancouver.

 

[ArcticBear]

i've watched many of the western conference games... i stand beside my point. it also has nothing to do with being a bruins fan...

 

[CityOChampBrew]

That was a terrible call, hawks just got a free goal.

 

[tyzippers]

Agreed. That was certainly not worthy of a PS. Just terrible.

 

[ArcticBear]

looks like theyre trying to force a game 7... this has got the stench of nba officiating all over it
