Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

[schmoe]

And the wings already gave up their lead.

 

[MeatyPortion]

Hawks up 7-2 and the ref gives Rosival 2 minutes for having his jersey untucked. What the fück people?

 

[maynardtl8]

Yeah that was a ridiculous penalty. Whatever. Sweet hat trick by sharpie! The guy better be a lock for team canada soon

Typical Chicago noob.

The rules prohibit the players from having their jerseys TUCKED. They're actually supposed to be untucked. Some players just think it looks cool.

I'm pretty sure players can also technically get fined for it, but that never happens either, and it's still a stupid penalty to call. If they're going to actually enforce it, they should at least do so uniformly (oooo... get it?), and not just when a ref thinks a team could use a break.

Yeah, I know. Ovechkin was bitching about it earlier this season. It's considered delay of game which is asinine.

Toronto has managed to obtain 8 out of 10 points in the past 5 games. That's nice.

But the wings are still ahead in the standings. Will make for a fun game Wednesday. I'll be at the Big House for it.

How can the Wings have remained so high, yet played so crappy the past several weeks!?!?

I'm looking forward to the Comerica park events as much as the Winter Classic, but since we are going to friend's house who aren't much on hockey, I might have to tape and watch when we get back.

 

[maynardtl8]

Because the wings are now in the craptastic east conference where even mediocre records land play off spots. Cmon over back to the west and see where ya stand now. Unless ofcourse youre afraid of the hawks since last season

Pretty sure Toronto is ahead. Tied for points though which will make the game even more huge.

 

[Homercidal]

Yeah, the East has a terrible record overall. Some of the highest placed teams have a remarkably low point total.

Howard was NOT himself last night! I couldn't believe the couple of flaky goals he let past. Hope he's got his game together before the Winter Classic!

As of this morning the Wings and Leafs are tied in points, but the Wings are ranked just above. Not sure how that works out, but the Leafs have more losses, while the Wings have more OT losses.

Whoops, you're right. Regardless, somebody's going to pull ahead tomorrow.

 

[Bulls Beers]

The Bruins are really pissing me off lately...Fukc!!!!

 

[emjay]

lol @ Montreal. Up 3-0 going into the 3rd period and then coughing up 4 straight to Carolina.

 

[emjay]

Wow, Montreal is lucky that Carolina took a bunch of stupid penalties at the end there. After that meltdown, the habs don't deserve even the one point they did get.

 

[coyote68]

All i can say is GO PENS!! Crosby is a god!

 

[schmoe]

On the way to the Big House. Lets go Red Wings. I certainly hope Jimmy Howard doesn't suck as bad as Monday night.

 

[MeatyPortion]

Let's go, refs!

 

[emjay]

Wooooo! **** you Red Wings!!

 

[urbanmyth]

This game is nuts. I don't know how they are getting any sort of control on the puck.

 

[emjay]

Boo ya!

Detroit sucks! **** you Red Wings!!!11

They have more ROW which is Regulation and Overtime Wins. It means that when two teams are tied the one who gets more points from winning shootouts is considered the lesser team.

It's a way of lessening the impact of having a skills competition decide hockey games, introduced 2 years ago I think.

Next year look for some new change to hopefully help reduce the frequency of these silly spectacles altogether. I hate shootouts. But man what a shot by Bozak. Lupul's was easy - you could've parked a bus under that space between Howard's pads. Detroit was lucky to get a point, despite outshooting Toronto 67 to 18. Dirty swede kicks one in - some things never change!

 

[schmoe]

What a great game even if our dirty Swede kicked the goal in. And like usual, Jimmy "the sieve" Howard sucks it up in the shootout.



And my view in the cold today.

 

[Homercidal]

I watched some fantastic Hockey played outdoors last night on my DVR. That's right, I'm talking about the ALUMNI GAMES! played at Comerica park.

OMG I loved seeing all of those unforgettable Hockey players. Seeing Howe and Lindsay drop the puck and seeing Konstantinov out there with the rest of the Russian Five was AWESOME (Said in a singing, high pitched girly voice)!

Yes, it was kind of like the All-Star game, but with more awesome stars. Having a few players mic'ed up was a nice treat. Redmond was his usual fun-loving self.

I *might* watch the Winter Classic tonight, regardless of the outcome.

 

[maynardtl8]

Well the hawks let that one slip past em. Ill give it to the islanders, they really turned it up at the start of the second and nabokov stood on his head but any offense would have taken advantage of the huge opportunities our defense was giving them. At least crawford looked pretty good after coming back from his injury.

 

[emjay]

Nice, no suspension for Lupul's Winter Classic crosscheck to Eaves' neck.

 

[maynardtl8]

ANOTHER hat trick for patrick sharp in 5 games. If that guy doesnt get to play in the olympics then the folks running team canada dont know what the hell theyre doing.

 

[schmoe]

Well of course not. There was no concusion to actually require a suspension. Don't mind that is was dirty.

 

[coyote68]

And the Pens Win again!!!!!....
team canada should have picked Fleury!! thier loss.

 

[paulster2626]

Well of course not. There was no concusion to actually require a suspension. Don't mind that is was dirty.

He was penalized on the play. That's the end of it.

Having supplementary discipline for EVERY damn thing that happens during a game is becoming annoying. This used to be what penalties were for.
