NHL 2009/20020 Season - Drunken Trash talk Allowed

[arturo7]

I was going to watch that game but I was so disgusted by the Blues dismal showing against a lowly POS Eastern Conf. team that I chose Little Mermaid instead.

Is that your prediction or have you discovered time travel? Canucks don't play the blues till 7pm PDT.

 

[boo boo]

Hey guys, the Leafs are only 2 points out of a playoff spot....

Bit early to say, but as much as I love the Leafs, I believe they still have plenty of time to eff it up yet.

I was thinking the same thing hawks game isnt for another hour

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

If he's correct, that will be eerie.

hawks 3 redwings 0

 

[ytsejam]

Huet's on fire! Back to back shutouts!
3 shutouts in last 4 games for Hawks.
Wings fans cry into their BMC "But our bestest swedes are hurt! Wahhhh!!!!!"

Nice win by STL last night.
Wish I could find that clip of VAN fans throwing trash (but not each other) on ice in the playoff last year.

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

Canucks need to acquire a star forward, but who the hell could they even get?

 

[arturo7]

The Blues could use another top 6 forward as well.


Although, we didn't seem to need one last night...

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

Well, bad reffing aside... They (Canucks) really don't look like a top 8 team this year. They really need to do something about that. They could be with the right trade/acquisition.

 

[ytsejam]

Officiating has been poor in a lot of games lately. Toews got hooked by Bertuzzi on a short-handed breakaway and no penalty shot.

Doesn't Kovulchuck want out of Atlanta?
I think someone here said he only wants 10 mil a year.

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

I guess after all the resigning the Canucks cap space is lower than I thought.

http://www.nhlnumbers.com/overview.php?team=VAN&season=0910

$2.107 million

I'd give kovulchuck 6m max but not 10. ****, hockey is sounding like baseball. No wonder they implemented a cap.

 

[PvtSkippy]

If Kovy would play some D he'd probably fetch Ovie/Crosby numbers. I'm not sure if he's still hurt or if he's dogging it thinking he's going to get traded, but he sure hasn't been playing like a $10 million dollar guy out there lately.

If the $10m/yr rumor is true (I've heard it as high as 11.5m!) then he's just bat **** crazy. He wants to play for a contender on one hand but then wants to cripple the team's chances of giving him a strong supporting cast by looking for that kind of salary.

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

What team has anywhere near that cap space? Not a lot of other trade rumors either and some team would have to make room for him.

 

[PvtSkippy]

Funny you should say that. I just read a rumor that Vancouver is offering Demitra, Schneider and a 1st round pick for Kovy.

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

Makes sense. Demitra is still on the injured list is he not and around 4 mill and a UFA next year I think.

 

[PvtSkippy]

Not only is he on the IR, he's back in Slovakia.

 

[Homercidal]

****, hockey is sounding like baseball. No wonder they implemented a cap.

I'm getting sick of the outrageous amounts of money that guys are getting in the NHL today. Cripes, they used to take pride in the fact that they were the "working class" athletes.

But 1 million doesn't go as far as it used to!:cross:

 

[ytsejam]

some news I saw:
Identity of Chicago Blackhawks legend stolen

my picks for tonight:

COL over ANA - (seems to be easy pick)

(Sexual) Predators over VAN (preds are hot team right now but hopefully they went down to Hastings and got all cracked out and picked up some women that look like their fans)

Hawks 1 - Sharks 0 (will end after a 21 round shootout with 1st 20 shots missing the net as both teams struggle to breathe as the stench from the Bulls blowing 35 point lead last night lingers)

LOL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

I think the Canucks should start fining players for not perforimg. They oud put the money in accounts and they get it back a bit at a time for every place off win. Doubt the union would go for that though.

Problem with trying to get Kolvy is that he probably won't get traded till near the deadline and we need someone NOW. Hell I was saying we needed someone before the season started.

 

[arturo7]

It would be awesome if contracts were based on team performance.

base = $$$$
Playoffs add $
semis add $
conf finals add $
cup ad $$

Unfortunately, as Denny says, the union would never allow this.

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

That and the cap plays havoc with the old bonus system.

 

[ForRealBeer]

I am on strike from going to see my Canes play. Paul Maurice is the worst coach in the history of ever, and it shows this season. Under "sucks" in the dictionary is a picture of the 2009/10 Hurricanes!

 

[azscoob]

correction: under "sucks" in the dictionary there is a picture of the great one coaching the 'yotes for the past few years, glad he is out, great player but a crappy coach.

 

[ytsejam]

Sharks made Keith/Seabrook pairing look human last night.

Hawks over Wings tonight.

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

Seabrook is my cousin, though I have never met him. To bad he's on the wrong team.

I wonder when Kolvy will be traded. I doubt they will keep him in Atlanta.
