NHL 2009-2010 Season Thread

[LoDownM]

Season starts in 4 days. Time to stop using the off season thread. Can't wait till the 1st, get to see my first ever number retirement in person :cool:

[El Fangel]

Man, I am so excited :)

[Emperor Smeat]

Can't wait to see who Lucic puts through the glass this year. Crazy when he shattered the glass on a Maple Leaf player last year.

[El Fangel]

Man, first game of the year is Montreal vs Toronto. Its awesome for the Habs to start off with a winning record.

[Gertner]

Man, first game of the year is Montreal vs Toronto. Its awesome for the Habs to start off with a winning record.

Considering the Leafs have owned the Habs the past two seasons I doubt that. Combine that with your 12 vagina forwards and I don't like your odds. Gonna be hard to pick between 2 of your former favourite teams. Does the winner get to be FA's jersey of the week?

[YOUR Hero]

you two need to bet your avatar rite now. for 1 week over this game. do it.

[Gertner]

I'll do that. Although if T.O wins Angel will probably keep that avatar forever since Toronto would become his new favourite team.

HAHA! Fucking rights.

[Gertner]

lol Jay Rosehill made the Leafs. They may have to scrape the Habs off the end boards after Thursday.

[OssMan]

CAPS oidjsflkdsjskl

[El Fangel]

I'll do that. Although if T.O wins Angel will probably keep that avatar forever since Toronto would become his new favourite team.

Ill do it. Toronto Logo if Habs lose for me, Montreal Logo if Toronto loses for you.

Deal?

[Gertner]

Deal.

[El Fangel]

Just watched the fight between Neil and Lucic and I know why you love him.

[Zen v.W.o.]

lol ok.

Orr is losing his first fight of the regular season as a Leaf tomorrow, our players will skate circles around your no talent hacks, which pretty much means all 4 of your forward lines, and Komi is going to forget who he plays for and cough up a nice dish for us to pot behind your excellent Toskala.

The Habs are the better team, in every way imaginable, not just on paper.

[Gertner]

Except that they're soft as a sponge, their defence is not as good as Toronto, and the Leafs aren't slow.

[Zen v.W.o.]

We're faster actually.

We aren't soft. We tossed most of the soft guys out and replaced them with grit and north americans. Even last season though we outhit most teams, we added size on our blue line, and our fighters are better than those of the Leafs.

BGL alone can decimate anyone on your roster, but if he needs help Moen and Stewie will mop up the rest.

[Gertner]

lol your fighters ARE NOT better than Toronto. Stewart sucks ass, Moen is decent and Laraque is very good. Orr is great, Rosehill is good, Schenn isn't bad, neither is Exelby or Komisarek when he's not fighting Lucic. lol and the size you added has no foot speed whatsoever. Mara is a puss as is Gill.

[Gertner]

Markov - Spacek
Gill - Mara
Gorges - O'Byrne

That right there is the softest defence in the NHL.

[El Fangel]

Torontos Depth Chart

LW ---- C ---- RW

Line 1
(---) --- (---) --- (Kessel)

Line 2
Ponikarovsky - Stajan - Blake

Line 3
Stalberg - Grabovski - Hagman

Line 4
Wallin - Mitchell - Stempniak

[Gertner]

Our 4th line is the tougest in the league: Rosehill-Primeau-Orr

[Gertner]

and btw the "Leafs can't score" arguement is retarded. The leafs were 10th in goals for last year.

[El Fangel]

I have to admit, I am excited to see Gustavsson ni regular season play.

[Zen v.W.o.]

lol your fighters ARE NOT better than Toronto. Stewart sucks ass, Moen is decent and Laraque is very good. Orr is great, Rosehill is good, Schenn isn't bad, neither is Exelby or Komisarek when he's not fighting Lucic. lol and the size you added has no foot speed whatsoever. Mara is a puss as is Gill.

Laraque is the champ, thus greater than anyone on your roster. He also pounded Orr with ease earlier.
Stewart is actually better than Moen. And Moen is pretty decent.

Exelby and Komi dont really fight, Schenn neither. Rosehill wont stay up once Mayers comes back so it's a moot point, and Orr is your only legit tough guy besides that. Leafs toughness is overrated.

Our top 6 dominates yours, our bottom 6 is also better. Our D isnt as soft as you seem to believe, could use a bit more speed on the backend though.

Price and Halak are superior to TO's situation in goal.

[Gertner]

lol yeah Price was AMAZING last year.

Komi and Exelby fight enough, maybe between 4-6 a season. Orr has problems with big lefties for some reason, but he's top 5. I hope Mayers is out for a while, becaus I thought he stunk last year.

Your top 6 "dominated" us last year yet Toronto scored more goals. Explain that. It's not about a few guys going 30, it's about 7-8 guys scoring between 15-20, which Toronto has.

And your d is horribly soft.

I'll explain that because we had a different top 6 last year.

[Gertner]

Yeah, replaced with a midget who had one really good year, a 2nd line center masquerading as a 1st, and Cammalleri. Good luck with that.

[weather vane]

How about both your teams are brutal and the Bruins will pile them both... AGAIN.

[El Fangel]

Price pre- All star break was amazing. Afterwards I sadly have to agree with your sarcasm.

Orr is a great fighter yes, however you are overrating Komi as a fighter, he is a far better checker then anyone on the Leafs. Exelby is an enigma to me, he does everything but never excells at any of it, he is a utility player it seems.

If Toronto can score more goals, how come they couldn't win? Its either defense or goaltending, Toskala is an excellent goalie, so I wonder what the problem is? Schenn and Kaberle cant do everything. Since Montreals blue line is not changed very much, I guess your assumiing the addition of Komi makes the difference. What we lost in Komi is made up for in Gill and Mara. We still have Markov and now Spacek, so I dont think it got worse, it actually got better. Torontos D is decent now at best, gritty as fuck but they need point producers like Markov and Spacek.

Yeah, replaced with a midget who had one really good year, a 2nd line center masquerading as a 1st, and Cammalleri. Good luck with that.

Gionta and Gomez were great in NJ, I am going to say that they mesh quite well again and Camel can produce anywheres it seems.

Your first line is

Poni - a decent second liner
Stajan - a decent second liner
Kessel - injured at the moment, but rather good I admit

Maybe on PP

Blake - shoots all day and scores 1/30

[Gertner]

When did I say Komisarek was a great fighter? I said he was alright. Toronto's probelm last year was defence and goaltending. Their defence is vastly improved. I don't know where u get that Toronto doesn't have puck moving d men. White, Kaberle and Beauchemin are all puck moving defencemen. Gill and Mara do not replace Komisarek's grit. Mara is notoriously soft as is Gill. Your defence is not at all improved. You'll be yelling at Mara all season, trust me.

[weather vane]

hashahaha Hal Gill and Paul Mara

[Blitz]

Leafs.

Actually you said he was a decent fighter. Toskala was rather good on SJ, couple that with Toronto losing Kaberle and it went to the shitter for them. Yes they have addressed their problems, but it looks more like hole filling then problem solving, they will still have problems with defense. I see them doing better, even squaking into the playoffs this year (purely on the back of gustavsson) Beauchemin is a good addition I must say and it will be interesting to see how well he fits in.

Mara I am worried about, I know he is soft but he has size and if he uses it he will prove smoewhat useful. Gill is a monster who I think they have moreso for the intimidation factor then anything.

and to be truthful, I would much like Komi back for Mara and Gill.


---

1.5 Hours left, so pumped.

[Gertner]

lol if you've seen Hal Gill fight you'd know he intimidates nobody, although he's a great pk defenceman, and Mara has never used his size well. He tries to be tough against smaller guys, but ends up getting his butt kicked when he fights. I always thought Mara was going to be a better d man than he turned out to be.

Beauchemin I believe will be the Leafs best d man. A number of people said he was one of the best d men in Team Canada's orientation camp. Beauchemin and Kaberle are going to work wonders on the Power Play.

And yeah Komi is a decent fighter, not as good as the heavy's in the NHL but he can hold his own. Rosehill and Orr will do the fighting for the Leafs so I don't see Komisarek fighting alot.

[Arashi Kage]

AWESOME!!!!! Lemieux and Coffey on center ice at the Leafs - Habs game.!!!!!!

- they are my two favorite players

[Gertner]

Orr and Laraque go at it. Solid draw, although I hate how Laraque bodyslams people to the ice. Somebody is going to get killed as a result of players doing that. Not picking on Laraque, but he's the prime offender. It's how that kid Sanderson died.

[Gertner]

Rosehill just whipped Moen's ass as expected.

[Gertner]

lol there's your Komi being too aggressive and Hal Gill's cement feet.

[Droford]

I was pissed because I can't watch the Caps game. Stupid Directv/VS crap.

[Gertner]

The habs dressing O'Byrne, Gill and Mara is going to hurt them. I'm surprised they didn't keep up Weber. That's 3 really slow defencemen.

[Gertner]

I was pissed because I can't watch the Caps game. Stupid Directv/VS crap.

watch it on channelsurfing.net. Very good streams there.

[Londoner]

Watching the toronto game online, enjoying it so far, got a mate from toronto so hoping they win.

[OssMan]

Sidney Crosby trolling all over this Bruins/Caps game

http://channelsurfing.net/watch-nhl-2.html btw

[Gertner]

lol Ovechkin already with a goal and an assist. He's so friggen amazing.

[Londoner]

oh ffs, lost the stream.:(

[Gertner]

The stream stops during intermission.

[Londoner]

I was watching the game on another stream and its been removed by the copy right holder, is your one showing the toronto/montreal game?

[Londoner]

Oh shit, just did some searching on that site, fucking great link. Found it now. :D

[Londoner]

fuck montreal

I usually hate watching stuff on my small monitor as opposed to my big HDTV but since theres no other way to watch the Caps game, it'll work.

Hockey in HD is the best...

[Gertner]

Stajan again!!!

lol Komisarek has 13 minutes in penalties.

[Londoner]

3-2 torontoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

[Gertner]

lol k, I know it's the first game, but Montreal's defence is friggen garbage. They are slow as fuck and they can't get the puck out of their end. Price has looked terrific though.

[Londoner]

damnit, 3-3

[Gertner]

lol Komisarek, jesus christ.

[Londoner]

Some game to start the season off though. :cool:

[El Fangel]

Suck it bitch!

[Londoner]

shit

[El Fangel]

Carey Price is a fucking beast!!!

[Londoner]

Price with 43/46 :)

[Zen v.W.o.]

Gonna take a while for the Habs to work out some kinks, but this was probably TO's best chance to beat them. Too bad, so sad.

Price>Toskala.

[El Fangel]

Aww, poor Gertner isnt man enough to change his avatar.

[Emperor Smeat]

Bruins main concerns with Washington was giving up penalties and stopping Ovechkin and it turns out they couldn't stop either concern. Bad loss but still early in the season.

Crazy how good Ovechkin is though. His prediction this year is no less than 70 goals.

[Gertner]

Price>Toskala.

SO lucky Price stood on his head because the Habs played like ass 9/10th of the night. You've got more than a few kinks to work out, such as getting the puck out of your end.

[El Fangel]

I am so glad I have the tandem of Semin and Backstrom in one of my leagues. They got me 5A tonight alone :)

[Gertner]

btw, who thought it'd be a good idea to let Kevin Weeks do colour commentary? Christ, it's like he's reading his comments, and doesn't finish half the ones he makes.

[El Fangel]

Wait Weekes is doing what?

Just goes to show, never do anything for the Devils in net if your name is not Brodeur.

[Gertner]

The Habs showed more grit than i thought they would, but their defence looked slower than I thought they would. Fucking Schenn and Beauchemin looked horrible, and Komi's emotions got the better of him. If I were Wilson I would have played the fuck out of Stalberg. That kid is gonna be a good one.

Have to say, Komi did better then I thought. Orr got beat :P

I didnt know Schenn was even there, he seemed to be be out of the spotlight tonight. Stajan was on fire it seemed.

He's doing CC on the Canucks/Flames game. He's terrible.

...wow...

[Gertner]

lol Colton Orr did not lose that fight. It was a draw. How did Orr lose? Because Laraque does that cheap shit thing when he hugs the guy and slams him to the ice when he gets in a bit of trouble?

[Blitz]

Leafs looked quite good tonight. Obviously a win would've been better, but I'm not upset with our play at all. Good and physical.

[Skippord]

wooo the Avs won

and I couldn't see it, stupid DirectTV

[LoDownM]

I saw it, in person :cool: Joe Sakic was 8 feet away from me while I was waiting in line to get into the Pepsi Center, could've had a conversation with him if I was somebody important :( Duchene is gonna be an amazing player over his career, dude was everywhere.

I was very upset with our defence. Kaberle and Exelby were the only defence that looked good.

GO DEVILS!

[Gertner]

So glad that I have today off. Blackhawks v Panthers at noon today and Wings v Blues at 3 both on tsn!

Damnit, just lost the stream.:(

[Londoner]

back now..i think..

[Londoner]

florida win after the shoot out, decent game overall!

[Gertner]

Wow did the Hawks ever outplay the Panthers in the third. Vokoun looked terrific.

[Gertner]

Watching the Wings/Blues game today, I can see an issue with the Wings. With the losses of Hudler, Hossa and Samuelsson, they aren't as talented as they were before and need to be more than just a free wheeling team. St. Louis just kept the puck close to the boards and dominated that area.

[Zen v.W.o.]

Fuck me, Markov gone for like 4 months.


:(

[Londoner]

I fuckin loooooooooovvvvvvveeee watching hockey.

They were down 6-1 and managed 3 straight, they did damn good IMO. Seening as Boston only managed a single goals.

lol poor Hurricanes. It's Paul Maurice's fault for not wanted to dress an enforcer.

[parkmania]

WTF is up with playing back-to-back and then having 3 days off this early in the season? Man, it feels like premature ejaculation...

[Gertner]

Habs sign MA Bergeron to a 1 year 750,000. Solid puck mover, but poor in his own end.

[Zen v.W.o.]

Nonetheless a necessary move for now. No real big deal either way, once the rest of the guys can come back he'll be around for a little depth.

[Gertner]

I agree. I always liked Marc Andre. Surprised he didn't have a contract coming in.

Great game by T.O, very close end to it. Tampa is holding strong and think they will pull it off. Washington is going to get 2/3 and Philly 1/3.

Montreal is going to win :)

6-5 philly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gertner]

What a fucking game!!!! lol stopped watching the leafs/sens game and flipped over to the caps/flyers game. Ovechkin is incredible, but Richards upstaged him tonight.

[Londoner]

LOL montreal already 3-0 down :lol:

[Gertner]

That defence is going to suffer badly.

[Londoner]

edit: oops got the teams mixed up, thats what being up at this time does to ya :D

[Londoner]

Hope montreal concede even more!

5-1!

[Kapoutman]

Yeah, that Montreal game was brutal. Fuck Hal Gill.

On the other hand, I'm buying a Travis Moen t-shirt soon.

Anyone else have trouble with the streams to the hockey games last night? Pretty much all of them got cut off for me at one stage or another. I hate when they use sites like ustream to broadcast it, knew that would fuck up.

Told you. Shame he hasn't got his first goal yet.

Green might be a great defenseman and all, but Backstrom has the true potential to be a 100 point player this year. And I said this before his hot start.

the other team actually proposed it to me. I could not hit accept fast enough, especially since I had Chara and Pronger on my team as well. I drafted big on D (took 3 in the first 6 rounds) with the idea that one would be gone within the first month via trade. I also picked up Markov and put him on IR (I know he won't be back till Feb at the earliest, but I have a knack for picking up people on IR and keeping them for long periods of time.

[El Fangel]

It is sad watching Toronto.

[Skippord]

that was a wacky shootout

[El Fangel]

Twas

[LoDownM]

It is sad watching Toronto.

Sure is fun watching the Penguins tho.

[YOUR Hero]

Montreal looks dangerously weak.

[El Fangel]

Montreal looks dangerously weak.

I am half expecting a full injury sweet of the first line any day now.

[Loose Cannon]

Sure is fun watching the Penguins tho.

:y:

except I don't really start watching until aftr baseball is over

[Gertner]

I'm honestly at the point where I'm just watching the Leafs to see fights. Everything else is a headache.

[OssMan]

caps tickets tonighttttttttt

[Kapoutman]

Montreal looks dangerously weak.

Yeah. I knew the season would be rough, but the team sucks even harder than I thought it would.

[El Fangel]

Yeah. I knew the season would be rough, but the team sucks even harder than I thought it would.

Want to feel better? Watch a Toronto game.

[Londoner]

Want to feel better? Watch a Toronto game.

Having watched a few games of theirs now, i'm sad to say they truly are shit.:(

[El Fangel]

I mean seriously, will Kessel make that much of a difference to the team?

[Zen v.W.o.]

Want to feel better? Watch a Toronto game.

Tht thing is though, we are supposed to be a much better team than Toronto. Taking pride in the fact we are better than TO doesn't help much. That's a sad sack organization and franchise.

Look, I do what I can to not cry about the fact Markov is out for 4 months.

[Gertner]

What a fucking mess.

[parkmania]

Sure is fun watching the Penguins tho.

Amen!

Actually, I usually have to listen to the first two periods on the radio while I'm still at the store. But I love Mike Lange, so it's all peaches and cream.

Buy Sam a drink and get his dog one, too!

[Hanso Amore]

Sabres are fun to watch again this year.

[Hanso Amore]

The last 2 years were a drag.

[weather vane]

um it's 5 games in guys ... not a big deal

[El Fangel]

Lol Toronto.

Sickest goal I have and will ever see

:lol: right at the end of the goal, the goalie shakes his head realizing how bad he got owned.

[Hanso Amore]

Holy shit

[El Fangel]

I posted a video of this type of shot a year or so ago, but fuck that kid got skillz

[weather vane]

haha I love watching these kids in between periods...

[OssMan]

CAPS again tonight

[Gertner]

Orr and rosehill are the only things i look forward to now when i'm watching the Leafs.

Theo Fleury just did an interview with George Strombolopous. It was amazing and so interesting.

[Gertner]

Watching the Tampa Bay/Ottawa game tonight.

[Gertner]

lol Ovie has 8 shots already in the first period.

[El Fangel]

Ovie was sick, Tampa got ripped by Michalek and Rinne made some saves, what a night!

[OssMan]

Seeing Ovechkin score 2 goals back to back live was the greatest thing to happen to me in the last 8 months

[Skippord]

Duchene scored his first goal today :cool:

[Zen v.W.o.]

I miss L'artiste.:(

[El Fangel]

I miss winning.

No I am not a leafs fan.

[parkmania]

Unless something goes REALLY wrong in the 3rd, 8-1!

Go Pens!

[weather vane]

Holy fucking injuries ...

Savard
Lucic
Wideman

[El Fangel]

Wideman should be back this week though, still...

[El Fangel]

Holy fuck. Toews just got hit by a fucking train. Mitchell dropped him and he crawled, yes crawled off the ice.

[YOUR Hero]

:cool:

[El Fangel]

How the hell does Phoenix and Colorado keep winning? Did they just tank last season for the draft picks? Fuck.

[Emperor Smeat]

How the hell does Phoenix and Colorado keep winning? Did they just tank last season for the draft picks? Fuck.

It worked for Pittsburgh before :shifty:

[weather vane]

win lose win lose win lose win lose

fml

[LoDownM]

Craig Anderson has been playing amazing, thats why, atleast in Colorado's case.

[Skippord]

going to the Avs game tomorrow :cool:

I want a Duchene or O'Reilly jersey

[Zen v.W.o.]

Ruutu better hope he never plays Tucker again...

[Skippord]

is Darcy dead?

that was scary to watch

[Emperor Smeat]

Crazy last few minutes of Bruins-Senators game. Senators up 3-1 with 1:38 left in 3rd and end up blowing the lead. Bruins won in the shootout.

[El Fangel]

Lol Toronto.

Another 7 losses and they tie a record.

[weather vane]

Lets go Boston fuck.

[Gertner]

Leafs looked pretty good last night. Luongo was tremendous.

[El Fangel]

Worst start in franchise history to be prolonged tomorrow night.

[Zen v.W.o.]

That's an awesome video. Still have that edition of Rock'em Sock'em laying around somewhere.

Song sticks in my head though.

[Gertner]

Well it's taken Anaheim getting 1000 penalties but the Leafs look like they may win it.

[weather vane]

YAY! THEY DID IT!!!!!!

[Gertner]

Washington vs Philly is off to an amazing start! Gonna be a sick game!

[OssMan]

Backstrom with 4 points tonight

[Gertner]

I have an erection for Ovechkin.

[Gertner]

Let's see if my boys can make it two in a row.

[El Fangel]

They came close, I will give them that much.

Not that I could say that about Montreal :(

1-7-2 (wow in 2 days they have a 300% to their points)

[Gertner]

Funny how anytime the Habs play anybody good they fold like a house of cards.

[Gertner]

Wow the Red Wings got problems.

[Loose Cannon]

Malkin out 2-3 weeks. ouch

[LoDownM]

Malkin out 2-3 weeks. ouch


Plus side is Staal will get to be the center for the 2nd line for awhile.

[Loose Cannon]

yea, that's not a bad thing at all. :y:

[Splaya]

Wow the Red Wings got problems.


This is very true. However apparently the toughest lead to hold in hockey is now 4 goals as the Red Wings have come back to tie the game and go to Overtime.

Yeah Suck it

[El Fangel]

Funny how Toronto does that with any team they play.

Yeah Suck it

Watcing with my fiance, when Detroit got their second goal, I was like they are winning this game.

[Splaya]

Doesn't matter that they lost. You come back and you get the point

[El Fangel]

Yep, close game. Cant believe the old man stopped Datsyuk TBH.

[Gertner]

Doesn't matter that they lost. You come back and you get the point

Yeah does matter when their goalies can't stop a beachball.

[Gertner]

Funny how Toronto does that with any team they play.

Leafs have been playing well lately.

[El Fangel]

Yeah does matter when their goalies can't stop a beachball.

You think Osbad could stop something that tiny?

Leafs have been playing well lately.

I have to agree, but according to Ron Wilson, they are playing 110%, so I wonder what it will take for them to pull out another win.

[Blitz]

Wow. Leafs. Don't even know.

[El Fangel]

Man, if it wasnt for the loser point Toronto would still be at 2 points.

[El Fangel]

Lol at Crosbys "fight" Zidlicky throws a punch after Crosby bitch slaps him a few times and then the refs pull him off Crosby.

[CSL]

lol what? Only punch I saw from Zidlicky hit the ref in the back after they'd dived in

[El Fangel]

Oh, didnt even notice. Thats even sadder.

[parkmania]

It looked to me like they were pulling Crosby off Zidlicky. Zids had his sweater pulled over his head, which is an automatic ref step-in.

[OssMan]

omg Ovechkin listed as week to week. Fuck

[El Fangel]

That sucks ass
