Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

Well if it’s physical you like check out the hit that sets up this series clinching goal...

Bruins seem to be having fun this evening playing outdoors. Philly...not so much

Yeah Philly missing it’s top 5 scorers due to COVID protocol didn’t help either. Game was horrible for Philly.

This day in history:

 

[day_trippr]

I remember that game like it was last weekend. So much emotion.
And Jim Craig looking for his father in the stands...memorable...

Cheers!

When the Miracle movie came out I remember asking my father what he might remember from that game.

He said that he came in from milking cows and someone (probably mom) told him we beat the Soviets, and he was pleasantly surprised.

The Islanders are hanging on to first place in the East!
(I wanted to post this while it lasts)

Lightning being beatdown by Detroit tonight. I mostly blame McBackup goalie, but Wings have been better than their record would suggest.

As a wings fan, I wager literally any other team put on some wings jerseys and started playing tonight.

 

[Joeywhat]

Also I'm not holding my breath, an 8-9 loss isn't out of the question yet

 

[day_trippr]

Islanders have totally croaked the Bs. Didn't hurt that all four games were played on Islander ice, but still, they've had Boston's number.
Otoh, we've done much better against the Rangers

I loved Erne when he played here, but oh man glass jaw. Dropped like a rock.

Your wings are gonna win this one. You guys seemed determined to prove you're NHL. I'm sold.

We'll the least they can do is prove that once a season

True, but I think Boston is the better team in general, the Caps too. The Islanders are playing well, but right now they're on a streak partly because they've played several games against Buffalo and NJ.
I do think they'll make the playoffs. But the last time they won the cup I was a young sailor, and soon I'll be eligible for social security!

 

[passedpawn]

Attending game on Thursday (Chicago @ Tampa Bay). I used go to quite a few games. I went to one of the last games during the burgeoning epidemic, 1 yr ago. Glad that's nearly behind us.

 

[JohnSand]

Have fun!
Isles are now #1 in the league.

 

[day_trippr]

The Bruins rollercoaster ride continues. Up, down, sideways, rolled-over, it's exhausting
Nice of Buffalo to keep their streak alive and give the Bs as close to a day off as it gets...

 

[passedpawn]

I went to the game tonight. Parking was easy, our normal "party before the game" place was easy to get into with open tables. The stadium was eerily empty. There was ZERO crowd participation. This stadium is usually raucous with noise. I didn't mind though. The fake applause track they are using on TV makes it seem more normal, but take my word, it's odd in the stadium. You could hear every sound from the ice. I imagine the players find it a bit odd.

No lines for beer or bathrooms though. Win.

 

[JohnSand]

Glad you enjoyed a live game. Islanders had 1000 season ticket holders last night. On TV it sounded like they made lots of noise, but I'm sure in person the missing 9000 were obvious.

 

[day_trippr]

Bruins owning the Capitols? It's Bizarro Season!
Hopefully the Bs can use that to climb back up the ladder into playoff contention...

 

[JohnSand]

While the Isles struggle against the Flyers.
It is a strange year, but the race is super tight. The top seven teams are within half a game of each other. The playoffs should be great!

 

[day_trippr]

Well now! The Bruins did some wheeling and dealing trade-wise and suddenly they have taken two games from the dreaded Islanders - including tonight's game using their third string goalie - who earned his first NHL shut-out.
Things just got interesting!

 

[day_trippr]

...aaaand a game from the Caps - and tonight the Bs beat Buffalo for the 11th straight time (that is starting to be a sad thing).
Still, 4 points behind Washington. So tough to keep up with them...

Cheers!

 

[JohnSand]

And the Isles bludgeoned the Rangers to get back into a tie with the Caps.

 

[day_trippr]

What a strange season this has been.
But the Bruins are in the post-season play, so it's gotta be good

We'll see what happens...

 

[day_trippr]

Pound for pound Brad Marchand is one hella good hockey player.
That is all...

 

[day_trippr]

Ugh. OT playoff losses are the worst. Hopefully the Bruins don't lose any sleep over Game 1.
Have to say I would be happy to see someone totally staple Ovechkin in Game 2. That would be nice...

 

[Qhrumphf]

Pretty sure Lauzon is gonna get a Tom Wilson beatdown in game 2...

Despite some really bad officiating (the fans in attendance sure knew it even if NBC's commentators are always on the Pens/Bruins kool-aid) glad the lads pulled it off.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Marchand I'd say is the ONLY player who can match Wilson in terms of both talent and hatedness lol

 

[day_trippr]

I'm betting Vanecek seriously tore some groin stuff and that there's a really good chance he is done for 2021...
