NHL 2012 Off-Season Thread

[El Fangel]

Watching your Habs lose to the Rangers.

The Leafs game went about as well as I expected it lol

Oh, look. Gertner talked about the Habs losing. I now clearly have no idea which team he roots for whatsoever because he said something about the Habs losing.

[Gertner]

lol because your post of the night was concerning the Leafs. How's being under .500?

[Sean]

Phil Kessel lol

[El Fangel]

lol because your post of the night was concerning the Leafs. How's being under .500?

Not bad, whats it like missing the playoffs for 6 seasons?

Phil Kessel lol

Who? Oh you mean Seguin and Hamilton.

[weather vane]

Don't forget Jared Knight...

BRUINS AND LEAFS ARE BACK!

[Hanso Amore]

Was super awesomer going to a game with WINNIPEG in town last night.

How cool is it to have them back.

I know its just the Thrasher, but it was kind of fun looking up and seeing Jets.

Now if we can only get the Whalers back.

[Hanso Amore]

Also, Rick Jeanneret inducted into the Sabres Hall of Fame. Gave a great speech. Fucking love that man so much.

[Gertner]

He's friggen amazing

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Bruins offense is crazy these last few games with 4 games in a row they score 5+ and even Edmonton being ranked #1 in defense couldn't stop them.

Seguin has 9 goals so far which is just 2 away from what he had all of last year.

[weather vane]

Yeah they are back baby!

Seguin is a beast. Nice to see Joe Corvo finally score points on the power play last night.

[Gertner]

Sens vs Leafs tonight. I love when these two teams play.

[Hanso Amore]

Sabres looking for 5 in a row tonight in Boston, and I havea fuckng Wedding :(

Jhonas Enroth
5-0
1.34 GAA
.956 SV%

He needs to be playing every game right now. This is similiar to Boston a few years back with Thomas/Rask

Vanek is finally playing like a superstar as well.

[Hanso Amore]

I forget how much the NHL has changed in my lifetime.

I remember how excited as a kid I was for San Jose, Ottawa and Tampa - Like as a Kid I was like HOLY SHIT, NEW TEAMS AWESOME. Which is why for a period I was a huge Florida Marlins and Toronto Raptors fan.

I also remember how quickly that wore off, and Nashville, Atlanta, Minnesota and Columbus joining hte league can kiss my ass.

I miss the old Northeast Dvision. Hartford and Quebec :'(

[Gertner]

I miss the Patrick, Smythe, Adams and Norris, especially when the Norris was fucking BAD ASS.

Toronto, St. Louis, Chicago, Minnesota and Detroit used to all have epic brawls.

[Hanso Amore]

Lucic is a fag.

The goalie controversies in Buffalo continues.

[Skippord]

if the Avs ever played more than the third period they would be dangerous

[Hanso Amore]

I love seeing people defend Lucic.

Stop it. He took a bullshit run at a goalie, plain and simple. Fuck your WE PLAY HARD shit. He was wrong, Penalised for it, and he better see a suspension.

[weather vane]

lol he won't be suspended... relax guy

The Bruins don't fuck around! Be prepared to get smashed from all angles when you play them. Old time hockey baby! I love it. I love how nobody wanted anything to do with Lucic after he hit Miller. Soft.

HOW MINT IS SEGUIN!?

[Gertner]

Lucic won't fight anybody remotely tough so there will be no payback.

[MVP]

Why would Lucic be suspended? Yeah, he shouldn't have charged Miller and he got penalized for it.

[RP]

Best team in hockey : Chicago Blackhawks

Toews, Kane, Hossa and Sharp??? This team is going to run away with the West. Lol when Bolland gets healthy, it's over. Who's playing for 2nd?

Can't wait for wednesday night. Canucks gunna get trucked. I'm gunna get all kinds of sloppy drunk for that one.

[RP]

Still can't figure out how they lost to the Blues last tuesday. Oh wait! Yes I can. They have the worst power play in hockey.

In the seven games the Hawks have lost this year, they are 2-24 on the power play! Thats unreal.

[El Fangel]

For about 5 seconds due to similar avatars I actually thought Gertner said that someone other then the Leafs could be the best in hockey.

[RP]

Similar avatars

[Hanso Amore]

Why would Lucic be suspended? Yeah, he shouldn't have charged Miller and he got penalized for it.

Because he intentially threw a hit to the head of a defenseless goalie. It was a goon move. Not the worst of all time, or even this year. But when you play that style, you shouldnt be surprised to get a game or two.

The fact that the sabres failed to answer the bell has really upset me. Granted I dont expect Vanek to fight, but Myers and Gaustad were on the ice and neither did a damn thing. Myers is young, and needs to man up.

[MVP]

Yeah I was surprised at Buffalo's lack of retaliation after that hit. I'm sure the game on the night before Thanksgiving will be a real physical one.

I heard this morning that Miller got a concussion from that hit. Hopefully he has speedy recovery.

[Gertner]

Lucic has a meeting with Shanny today.

[Emperor Smeat]

The fact the Sabres did nothing basically proved they show no confidence to support Miller as their goalie which is strange considering about a year ago Miller was getting praised as a star in the NHL and the US due to his performance in the Winter Olympics.

I could see if the coach was trying to do what Philly did last year with all the pulling and changing of goalies but the biggest difference is Philly had crap for quality in the net while Buffalo has good quality.

[Gertner]

Tyler Myers is a healthy scratch tonight.

[weather vane]

I think that they believe in their goalie... Miller is one of the best goalies in the world. I think it was just a lack of judgement on the part of the Sabres. Gaustad said it will not happen again.

Also Lucic did not hit him in the head and he let up... the NHL is becoming so pussified...

[Hanso Amore]

No suspension for Lucic. Due to....wait for it...Lack of Intent.

You can tell me it wasnt a dirty hit and he shouldnt be suspended, but dont tell me there was a lack of intent. Lucic did EXACTLY what he wanted to do.

Shanahan either needs to be consistent or stop suspending players.

Miller now has his 2nd concussion this Calendar year. Who knows how this plays out.

Myers has been a fucking train wreck this season. Its like watching a baby Giraffe try to walk. He needs to sit down for a bit and get his head on straight.

[Gertner]

I'm really hoping Rosehill or Orr runs Price for their midget running Reimer.

[Hanso Amore]

I think that they believe in their goalie... Miller is one of the best goalies in the world. I think it was just a lack of judgement on the part of the Sabres. Gaustad said it will not happen again.

Also Lucic did not hit him in the head and he let up... the NHL is becoming so pussified...

I dont fault Vanek, Pomminville or Sekera for not throwing down, but Gaustad was ON the ice. Horton held him up...so fight Horton. DO something. That is your role on the team. He is the only big body that can throw fists, and he watched that all go down. Really not earning that A on his chest.

Since miller has had a rough few weeks, now the local Media insists that there was no retaliation has a message to Miller.

Meanwhile, Lindy refuses to talk to the Media as he is so pissed that no one did anything.

Going to be interesting in Montreal tonight, as well as the next Boston game.

[weather vane]

http://www.leftwinglock.com/content.php?187-Did-Lucic-Target-Miller-s-Head

He got a penalized for exactly what he should have been penalized for. Nothing more, nothing less. If Miller gets a concussion from that hit then maybe he should think about retiring...

[Gertner]

Hall of Fame induction tonight! lol I once helped Doug Gilmour move boxes from the Maple Leaf Gardens to his car.

Huh? Lucic saw Miller and he had no chance to get that puck. He made no effort to get out of the way. He should have been suspended. I can't believe the Sabers didn't make a run at Thomas. They must be scared to fight. I can't wait to see someone fuck Chara and Lucic up. Sabers should feel like a bunch of cowards right now.

[weather vane]

For sure.

[Gertner]

Leafs vs Phoenix tonight. They'd better fucking win.

[Emperor Smeat]

Tough game but 6th win in a row for the Bruins although the streak of 5-6 goals per game was broken by New Jersey.

Bruins managed to leap frog over Ottawa, Tampa Bay, and New Jersey for the 8th seed right now. 4 points away from the division's 1st place Toronto and Buffalo.

[Corndad]

Saw some sick goals live tonight. Malkin is a beast. Letang had a sweet goal as well.

Av's Duchene had an amazing goal tonight too. Worth to check out the highlights of tonight's Pens vs Avs Game if haven't seen yet.

[weather vane]

6 in a row for the kids!

[weather vane]

As I said in another thread, Dan O'Toole and Jay Onrait are just killing Movember on TSN.

[Gertner]

Best duo in sportscasting. Fucking hilarious.

[Arashi Kage]

I watched the "Islanders unveil 3rd jersey" video on nhl.com - Despite what he says, I get the feeling that Moulson doesn't like the new jerseys. :rofl: It just seems like he's trying to say "something nice" about them.

Not really a fan... Don't hate them though.

[Gertner]

Better than most third jerseys

[RP]

Eat dick Canucks. Hossa is amazing

[SammyG]

lol @ 7 rounds during shootout

[Gertner]

Leafs playing tonight with 3/4 of their team injured lol. Should turn out well.

[Hanso Amore]

And somehow Tim Connolly is healthy...

[Sean]

Steamroll team after team and then the Columbus Blue Jackets take the B's to a shootout.

Jesus Christ.

[Sean]

And there isn't a team in the league that can match the physicality of the Bruins. They'll have their way with every opponent because no one will answer them.

Intimifuckingdation.

[weather vane]

7 in a row for the kids!!!! Keep it going in Jew York boys!

[Gertner]

Anybody catch the Rosehill vs McGrattan fight last night? WOW!

[Hanso Amore]

That was good. 2nd best this year that Ive seen behind McCormick vs Glass

[Gertner]

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/EADsrGbRXVA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


For those interested.

[Hanso Amore]

How McGrattan didnt break his hand with all the Helmet shots he had is amazing.

Nigga Drinks his milk.

[Gertner]

I can't believe Rosehill took all those shots and kept throwing. McGrats is a tank, but the last of a dying breed unfortunately.

[Hanso Amore]

Lombardi and Komisarek now out for 3 weeks each. This is getting ridiculous.

The leafs forward line up for tonight

Forwards:
Kessel - Bozak - Lupul
Kulemin - Connolly - Frattin
Steckel - Colborne - Crabb
Rosehill - Dupuis - Orr

Dear God...

[Londoner]

lol

Was enjoying phoenx v buffalo which was 3-2 phoenix and the streamer streams to another game, so switch to toronto/washington whcih i also was getting into and that cuts off! Brilliant, thank you espn for making me having to put up with this bullshit. Enjoy just having college fucking football and nothing else. :mad:

[Emperor Smeat]

:D 8 in a row

Next 2 against Montreal and then Buffalo are going to be tough because both always seem to give the Bruins the most trouble in the division.

[El Fangel]

Chicago is getting barebacked in the was by Edmonton.

8-2 going into the 3rd

Hall 2g
Eberle 1g 3a
Nuge 4a

[El Fangel]

How...How did Toronto win last night...

[El Fangel]

I mean...Bozak...TYLER BOZAK as your first line center. Tim Connolly...healthy...Your leading point scorer last year out...your center for the line that player was on...out...Joey Crabb on your third line...JAY...ROSEHILL even dressed...

I mean that win defies all fucking logic.

[Gertner]

Jay Rosehill is the man.

Kessel is the best player currently in the NHL. That's how.

[parkmania]

WELCOME BACK, SID!

[Gertner]

I hope Matt Martin takes his head off.

[Corndad]

And Crosby Freakin Scores....

[Corndad]

Crosby 1 goal 2 assists a period and half in. Anyone who says he's overrated is just a hater.

[Emperor Smeat]

Great goalie performance between Price and Thomas but :D 9 in a row.

Bruins now #1 in the division and #2 in the East with the Sabres next.


Islanders are really horrible but Crosby getting that goal is going to be a huge motivational piece for the Penguins and himself for the next few games (or weeks). I still think Malkin is more valuable than Crosby for the Penguins overall due to the Penguins tend to be a lot more worse when Malkin struggles or is hurt than Crosby.

[Sean]

Good to see the Penguins elected to give Crosby a game in the AHL to prep for NHL competition. He tore that team up tonight, but can he replicate it against an NHL team?

...

LOL @ the Northeast division. Two weeks to go from last to first. Way to hold onto the lead, all.

[RP]

If Buffalo don't fight the Bruins all game long, they need to get the fuck out.

[Gertner]

Aside from Gaustad and McCormick, there really isn't anybody on the Sabres that can fight, and I'm pretty sure McCormick is injured.

[El Fangel]

Kaleta?

[Gertner]

lol Kaleta is probably the biggest coward in the NHL.

[El Fangel]

Yeah, but I have seen him fight before and was ok. Im not saying he will, im trying to think of who would.

I would mark out if Gerbe one shotted him tho.

[weather vane]

Bruins.

[El Fangel]

Myers had surgery to repair a broken wrist Monday and will miss one month, Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News reports.
Recommendation: This is a devastating blow to the young blueliner, as he's been scrambling to recapture his rookie-season form for the second straight year. T.J. Brennan was recalled from Rochester to replace Myers on the roster. Myers will end up on IR in the coming days.

[El Fangel]

Goddamn it, I just traded for the guy a month ago in Fantasy and now this.

Also, I don't think this would hurt Buffalo much as he hasnt been that productive.

[Gertner]

lol Toronto surprises me again. They NEVER score on Roloson and Tampa Bay and they got out and score 7. Friggen Joffery Lupel is ridiculous.

[Blitz]

Damn just looked at the standings, had no idea Minnesota was doing so well.

[Hanso Amore]

Yeah, but I have seen him fight before and was ok. Im not saying he will, im trying to think of who would.

I would mark out if Gerbe one shotted him tho.

Kaleta has answered the bell WAY more the last year and a half or so. But tht isnt his game. He is a pest, riles guys up, backs down, and they take a penalty for chipping at him. Love it.

McCormick is out. Regehr was never a huge fighter but will go, but is old. Mike Weber is in for Myers, will throw down but is a bottom tier option.

Really it falls on Gaustad tonight. Corey Tropp is still up from the AHL and he has been itching to drop them lately. But I dont think that kid needs to step up to Lucic.

Something better happen tonight. Get it over quickly. Someone needs to either FIght Lucic or take a run at a Bruins player and move on.

Im fine with him missing some time. Sucks, but really the way he has been playing it might be better to have weber in. Also, allows Ehrhoff back into a top 4 spot, so that maybe he can finally get going.

[weather vane]

Nobody will touch my boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Gertner]

Lucic will fight because there's nobody tough on Buffalo.

[weather vane]

Looch will take out Enroth tonight! hahaha

[Emperor Smeat]

What a good game and even the shootout was great. Buffalo also delivered the fight promised against Lucic.

:D 10 in a row and back to first in the division after Toronto's 1 day with the lead.

:D Seguin had another goal.

[weather vane]

My favourite game of the year. I was on the edge of my seat in the third period with my heart racing.

BRUINS 10 IN A FUCKING ROW! What a come from behind, character win... Amazing.

[Arashi Kage]

Sat in row 1 of the "Platinum" section at the Air Canada Centre last night.... not for the Leafs, but for Judas Priest :p

[The Fraze]

And the Sharks SCOOOOORRRREEE!

[RP]

Haha Gaustad and Lucic flipping there sticks and going, was great.

[RP]

Marchand is such a little prick. I hope someone takes his head off soon.

[weather vane]

Hahaha he is such a dick. I love him and fuck is he ever good...

[Nicky Fives]

Sorry Buffalo fans, you emotion is about 2 weeks late.....and you lose the game.....

[El Fangel]

I'm sort of related to Marchand.

[El Fangel]

His sister or first cousin or something is married to my 1st cousin. Pretty sure it doesn't actually count as related though.

[Hanso Amore]

Sorry Buffalo fans, you emotion is about 2 weeks late.....and you lose the game.....

Might as well kill myself then. The Sky is falling and nothing good will ever happen again.

Get some perspective. They played a great game (both teams) and boston won in round 6 in the shootout. Ill take it.

Regehr going after Chara was good, and Gerbe was all over the place tonight. Love that little fucker.

[Hanso Amore]

Not to mention it is November.

They did a good job of putting tht whole thing behind them.

Bad news? Boyes is out "for awhile" joining Ennis, Kaleta, Weber, McCormick and Myers in the Press Box.

Its looking like someone from the AHL is coming up to join TJ Brennan and Corey Tropp in the big leagues.

Of course, all the fans are calmmering for Kassian.

[Sean]

Marchand is such a little prick. I hope someone takes his head off soon.Last time someone tried to take his head off he got right back up and scored a goal.

So please, NHL, go after him.

[RP]

Then he obviously didn't have his head taken off.

[Sean]

Those nose of his provides exceptional padding.

[Sean]

Maybe if Ryan Miller had a comparable nose he'd be playing right now.

I can't wait to see Kassian. We had him here in Windsor for Junior. Bit of a maturity problem, but Buffalo has some good vet that could take him under their wing: namely Gaustad. Similiar player although Kassian's upside is higher of course.

Debuts tonight in Columbus.

The problem is fans here literally think he is Tony Twist as a fighter.

People were saying "Bring him up for Boston just to fight lucic".

Dude can and will fight, but he is still a kid, and hes not an enforcer goon. No idea why the local idiots think that.

[El Fangel]

Probably one of my favorite players not in the NHL.

Buffalo has a really likable team tbh.

Probably because the only thing people outside of my city have heard about Kassian are his suspensions. That, and despite what the media claims, people love fighters and want their guy to be the best.

[Emperor Smeat]

Win streak snapped at 10 but the Bs kept the points streak alive with the OT loss.

Had a feeling if Buffalo didn't snap the streak then Detroit had the best chance due to the Bs haven't beaten the Red Wings the last couple of years.

[Gertner]

Leafs keep winning. Their offense is fantastic. Can't wait for Grabovski and Armstrong to come back.

[El Fangel]

I would want Reimer back before those two imo.

[Gertner]

All Toronto really needs is average goaltending. Gustavsson and Scrivens are holding down the fort well.

[Hanso Amore]

Regehr
Myers
Ennis
Miller
Mccormick
Kaleta
Weber

All out

Tropp
Mcnabb
Brennan
Macintyre
Kassian

Stefan Elliot with the game winning goal in his first game :heart:

[Champion of Europa]

All Toronto really needs is average goaltending. Gustavsson and Scrivens are holding down the fort well.

Yeah, they seem to be outscoring their goaltending issues recently. After Reim's injury I got a bit scared for them, but they seem to be holding strong. Monster's had a few inspiring saves recently.

In other news, I trade for Voukun in the fantasy league and he gives up five goals. My other ace goaltender is Kari Lehtonen, who was injured tonight. And with Reimer still out, that leaves Brian Elliot. If Elliot weren't outplaying Halak, I'd be royally fucked.

Toews is on fire. Last 13 games, 9 goals, 9 assists, 18 points.

[Gertner]

LEAFS!!!!

[JimmyMess]

From TSN.ca

ARLINGTON, Va. -- The Washington Capitals have fired coach Bruce Boudreau, who won 200 games faster than any coach in modern NHL history but stumbled regularly in the playoffs despite a talented lineup featuring two-time league MVP Alex Ovechkin.

Boudreau was replaced by former Capitals captain Dale Hunter, who was scheduled to lead Monday's practice and make his debut behind the bench Tuesday night when Washington hosts the St. Louis Blues to begin a three-game homestand.

Hired four years ago, Boudreau went 201-88-40 in the regular season with the Capitals but just 17-20 in the playoffs. This season he tried a new approach, emphasizing accountability and the willingness to bench his star players -- team captain Ovechkin included -- as punishment for subpar performances.

The Capitals started 7-0 -- a franchise record for consecutive wins to begin a season -- but have since slumped badly. They have lost six of eight, including a 5-1 beatdown Saturday night to a Buffalo Sabres team missing nine regular players. Ovechkin has only one goal in the last eight games.

The 51-year-old Hunter played for the Capitals from 1987 to 1999, the last five seasons as team captain, and is one of four players to have his jersey (No. 32) retired by the franchise. He played 19 NHL seasons and is the only player in league history with 1,000 points and 3,000 penalty minutes. His career total of 3,563 penalty minutes ranks second all-time.

Hunter has coached the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League for 11 seasons, compiling a 451-189-23-24 record. He became the fastest coach in OHL history to reach 300 and 400 career wins. Dale's brother Mark Hunter - who is also the Knights co-owner - will assume the general manager and coaching duties in London as per a team release.

Boudreau turned around a moribund franchise when he was hired in 2007, leading the Capitals to the first of four consecutive Southeast Division titles and winning the league's coach of the year award in 2008. Nicknamed "Gabby," he bought an offensive philosophy that meshed well with Ovechkin and the team's other "young guns" such as Alexander Semin and Mike Green, but he was never able to get Washington beyond the second round of the playoffs.

Boudreau had the team adopt a more defensive mindset during a losing streak last season, but it failed to pay dividends in the spring. The Capitals were swept by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the second round of the post-season.

Boudreau's assistant coaches -- Dean Evason, Bob Woods and Blaine Forsythe -- will remain in their posts under Hunter.

Wowsa! Dale is a money coach. Although he always said he preferred working with the kids. I expect big things. Super surprised at this move though, we hadn't heard anything in town about this.

[Champion of Europa]

Canes also fired their coach.

[OssMan]

Seems like the Caps have been waiting for the right time to fire him. This doesn't seem like the "right time" though, just a bad losing streak. JimmyMess where are U from

Trapping is the only chance the Habs have of winning.

[Hanso Amore]

Ducks scouts at the Sabres game last night, and there are reports they are working on a trade deal.

The Names Ryan, Getzlaaf and Selanne are getting thrown around.

I dont see any way they trade Getz or Ryan to the Sabres. But I would give them anything they wanted for Getzlaaf. Ryan too.

I imagine Selanne is coming East. Lets hope Parros comes with him.

[JimmyMess]

Selanne won't go anywhere because of one of his kid's medical condition.

[Emperor Smeat]

Back to first place for the Bs and another 5+ goal game the Leafs give up against them.

Kane done at center. Makes sense. Toews, Kane and Stalberg is a leet line. Plus Sharp and Kruger have been playing great lately so putting them and Hossa together is great.

Worried about the Hawks tho. They've created no distance in the division and now both Detroit and St. ...wtf? St. Louis???? are right behind them.

[RP]

The Central division should not be a four team race right now. I feel like the Hawks should be up about five points .

[RP]

They should win these next four though against Islanders,Blues,Coyotes,Islanders again.

[RP]

I'm not sold on Corey Crawford.

[MVP]

He's heading for a sophomore slump.

Realignment...

http://l.yimg.com/a/p/sp/editorial_image/32/3233b8188eceaa3d1ab7153c2570112f/nhl_approves_conference_realignment_new_playoff_format.jpg

Every team in the NHL will play home-and-home; the Stanley Cup Playoffs will begin inside each conference, with the top four teams squaring off in divisional playoffs.

The four conference champions will advance to face each other for the right to play for the Stanley Cup. Commission Gary Bettman said that the final playoff format will be decided by the general managers in the spring.

Thoughts?

[Arashi Kage]

As a long time Pens fan, I love to see that they've reunited the Patrick Division (with the addition of Carolina).

But I would have loved to see Toronto back in the Norris Division with Detroit. At least they didn't cram the Jets into the same division with Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary.

One of Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal should have been moved into the new Patrick Division, screw rivalries, it's lame to cram all the Canadian teams into one division.

[Arashi Kage]

I'm curious to hear the future details of having four conferences instead of four divisions.

Will there be two new Conference Trophies? Will the Wales and Campbell Conference Trophies be discarded? Now is as good a time as ever to bring back the Prince of Wales Conference (C & D) as Adams and Patrick, and Clarence Campbell Conference (A & B) as Smythe and Norris Divisions.

Keep it to 2 actual Conferences, not 4.

Rumours are already flying about adding teams (Quebec, the Hammer, Markham) or Phoenix moving to the Wales Conference as the new Nordiques.

[RP]

The Hawks are driving me nuts right now, but Jonathon Toews is the motherfucking truth. This guy is on another level right now....alone.

[Hanso Amore]

SO basically they took the Northeast Division, added Florida and Tampa, and called it a conference.

If 4 teams make the playoffs per year, Gotta like toe Sabres odds. I like Philly, NY, NY, NJ, Phil and Wash. THAT is nice.

We will see. I refuse to let them say Conference ABCD

Fuckers BETTER knuckle up some sweet names.

[Gertner]

Nice win over the Rangers last night.

Philly, NJ, and/or the NY teams would make more sense travel wise for the Northeast + Florida conference but supposedly Pitt had the biggest issues with realignment if it meant they lost out on their in-state rivalry with Philly.

People on ESPN's comment board wondered why the NHL didn't take advantage of the Boston-New York rivalry in sports but it never really developed as a rivalry in hockey unlike in baseball and football. Bruins have the Canadian teams as stronger historic rivals than the Rangers.

[weather vane]

I really love the change. It makes for a much more interesting hockey season and playoffs!

[Hanso Amore]

I feel like it might get old after 5 years of the same teams kick each other around in round 1 and 2. Like Washington, Philly, Pitt and NY are going to be playing each other in round 1 and 2 for the next 5 years. Unless NYI, NYJ or Carolina turn it around, which I dont see.

COuld get old. But will also make for HUGE rivalries.

[Gertner]

Really wished Detroit was in Toronto's division. One of the biggest rivalries in hockey is being wasted.

[RP]

Everytime I watch the Wings, I swear Bertuzzi tries to kill someone. He just cross checked the living shit out if Oshie and got away with it. Oshie's face is broke for sure lol.

[RP]

Winnipeg are punking the Bruins right now. Wouldn't be suprised to see a fight soon.

[Gertner]

Curse you David Clarkson!!!!!!!


Winnipeg doesn't have anybody who fights besides Tanner Glass and Chris Thorburn so that'd be a bad idea.

[Kapoutman]

Well I'm getting really tired of the way the Habs have been playing since the season started.

[Gertner]

They play such a boring brand of hockey, although they have to with their defense.

[Kapoutman]

Here's my plan to get things back on track:

Fire everyone who is under Geoff Molson in the hierarchy. Pierre Gauthier, Jacques Martin, all the assistants, recruitment. We have to change the entire mentality here. This shit has been going on for too long.

The Habs have a habit of drafting good players, making them wait 2 to 3 years in the AHL in order "break them" I guess, and then they bring them back up. As soon as a new guy makes one little mistake, he gets scratched. How the fuck are they supposed to improve? They're very near to completely messing up Subban. They almost did it with Price, but thankfully the guy didn't give a shit. I'm convinced the Habs could have messed up Sydney Crosby if they had drafted him.

[weather vane]

way to bench Seguin guys...

[Emperor Smeat]

It was a beautiful streak while it lasted and :eek: what a streak it was.

29 out of 30 possible points. Bruins went from last in the East and 2nd worst in the NHL to #2 in the East (fewer games played than #1) and top 4 overall.

Time to start another good streak starting with the Panthers.

[RP]

That was a punk job tbh. I watched that entire game and Winnipeg was punking the shit out of them until half way through the third.

[Gertner]

Graham James pleads guilty to sexually assaulting Theo Fleury. I don't know if you guys are into reading hockey bio's like I am ( I read 1-2 a week), but DEFINITELY pick up Theo Fleury's bio "Playing With Fire" co authored by Kirstie McLellan Dey. She co-authored Ron MacLean's and Bob Probert's bio's as well and are must reads.

[El Fangel]

Truly excellent read.

[Gertner]

Rogers and Bell combine to buy 75% of Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment.

Why the fuck can't we have one owner like normal people. Christ, the ownership of the Leafs has been a disaster since Conn Smythe sold the damn team to Ballard, Stafford Smythe and Company over years ago.

[Corndad]

[Arashi Kage]

Yeah, not really happy about the sale of MLSE to Rogers & Bell. Two so-called competitors, teaming up. But who else had a billion dollars to take it off the Teacher's hands.

Also gotta wonder what the Teacher's can do with a billion dollars for a more solid and guaranteed return than owning the Leafs. Not bad that they made approximately 10x profit from their purchase price 17 years ago.

Some people are calling it the death of watching the Leafs on HNIC.

Long live Hockey Night in Canada!

Bruins snapped 2 game loosing streak but loosing Chara to an injury is a big blow to the defense if it turns out to be serious.

Thomas got pulled from goal but Rask stepped in to ensure the win was possible.

TUUKKA TIME

[Gertner]

Leafs looked great last night. Friggen Ward stood on his head.

[Arashi Kage]

Can't believe how many players are out with concussions. Is this an indication that countless players played with concussions in the past? Or is it just that the spotlight is on concussions now, so we didn't really realize players dropping to the IR like flies in the past.

- Crosby
- Letang
- Giroux
- Skinner
- Pitkanen
- Michalek
- Pronger
- Schenn
- Richards
- McDonald
- Staal

[LoDownM]

I thought Letang had a broken nose or something?

[OssMan]

Kris Letang more like Fei Fong Wong

[El Fangel]

Wasn't aware anyone besides Crosby had a concussion.

[El Fangel]

On a serious note, add Perron to that list.

Miller
Gerbe

[Skippord]

The Avs also have 3 guys out with concussions

[Blitz]

Giroux has a concussion? Great for my fantasy pool.

Letang and Staal though :'(

[Triple Naitch]

Watching HBO's 24/7 series. Too much harsh language for my taste.

[weather vane]

I just think the league is way more sensitive to it now. I know the players are a lot stronger and faster but some of these concussions are happening on nothing plays. Guys are going out with concussions on hits that are quite minor.

The technology to spot a concussion is so much more advanced and they are being discovered much easier. This just shows that COUNTLESS players competed with a concussion before and were fine. I am all for the players safety but I think this is a little too sensitive. I also say that because I am selfish and want to see the best players on the ice.

[weather vane]

oh and HBO 24/7 might be the best show ever... 100p

LOL, Sean Avery comes off as a total fag in this.

6-0 Bruins win over Philly.

Missed the game earlier but watched a replay of the game.
:D Sequin and the Power Play scoring being good the last couple of games.


Canadiens also fired Martin as their head coach and only into the 3rd year on the job. 2nd time so far this season someone got canned on the coaching staff.

[Emperor Smeat]

Canadiens managed to hire a non-French speaking coach with Randy Cunneyworth and the Quebec government along with some fans already hate the decision. Boycotts for any products sponsored by the team is already being planned.

[Gertner]

Habs fans continue to amaze with their retardedness.

[El Fangel]

Stupid fucking French. Hate them.

[Hanso Amore]

Cant believe I allowed one to marry into my family.

[JimmyMess]

Being a Canadian..... yes.... stupid French. Can't fix stupid.

[Kapoutman]

Let's calm down on the French thing though. Stupidity knows no language. Look at Philadelphia fans.

[El Fangel]

I am surprised they are even capable of speech to be frank.

[Emperor Smeat]

Not a good start for the new Canadiens coach since he got a "Le Loss" in his 1st game and it happened to be against the Bruins which is going to make those that hated him even more upset now.

19-2-1 since the horrible start for the Bruins.

[RP]

Hawks v Pens tommorow. Epic

[Hanso Amore]

Sabres have called up their final 2 AHL Forwards under contract. They have no forwards under contact except 1 guy, kevin sundher in juniors.


So yeah, injuries are a problem.

BUT, we get Foligno vs Foligno in Ottawa tomorrow.

[Nicky Fives]

:wavesad:

Can you at least call them French Habs fans? I want no association with those morons.

French Habs fans are terrible...... I fully support the move as Martin was nothing but an unispired troll...... They should have kept Muller.....

[OssMan]

lol at Jason Chimera giving the finger to Ryan Miller, still hate Jason Chimera though.

[Corndad]

Classic turning into a hell of a game.

[Emperor Smeat]

Yeah love the Winter Classic and easily the best thing done since the lockout years ago.


:lol: Canadiens actually sent an apology to their fans about hiring a coach who doesn't speak French. They even hinted he could be fired at the end of the season due to only being an "interim" coach even though I think his contract is for 2 years.

[weather vane]

Are the Bruins even real this year? Like COME ON...

[Blitz]

NHLPA puts the kibosh (http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=610343) on the proposed realignment. Everything shall stay the same next year.

[Emperor Smeat]

Is Winnipeg still moving to a new division next season considering the traveling is pretty bad for them in terms of division games?

[Droford]

Nope

Which is funny since one of the reasons why the players association would not sign off on realignment was because of travel concerns.

As realignment affects players’ terms and conditions of employment, the CBA requires the league to obtain the NHLPA’s consent before implementation,’’ Fehr said. “Over the last month, we have had several discussions with the league and extensive dialogue with players, most recently on an executive board conference call on Jan. 1. Two substantial player concerns emerged: whether the new structure would result in increased and more onerous travel; and the disparity in chances of making the playoffs between the smaller and larger divisions. “In order to evaluate the effect on travel of the proposed new structure, we requested a draft or sample 2012-13 schedule, showing travel per team. We were advised it was not possible for the league to do that. We also suggested reaching an agreement on scheduling conditions to somewhat alleviate player travel concerns . . . but the league did not want to enter into such a dialogue.’’

[Hanso Amore]

And the Sabres continue to e a monumental bust.

New Owner. Same GM, Same Coach, Same Results.

[Emperor Smeat]

Vancouver showed why they are still at the tops on power plays considering all their goals today came from the PP and managed to get the Bruins to be hit with a lot of bad penalties.

Bruins still showed that Vancouver can't handle a physical team although Marchand and Lucic might be suspended a few games from all the fighting today.

[Gertner]

What a game between Vancouver and Boston.

[The Fraze]

5-2

[Heyman]

Bruins still showed that Vancouver can't handle a physical team .

How do you figure?

1) Canucks outhit the Bruins 24-17 in the game

2) The Canucks stood up to the Bruins in almost every single confrontation, and yet kept composed for the most part (while the Bruins succumbed to their emotions, took dumb penalties, and got slaughtered on special teams).

Long story short - your penis erects when you see other men and you have no idea what you are talking about here.

Having said that - the Bruins DID show that they are a superior team to Vancouver 5 on 5.

[Gertner]

Go Leafs.

As much as I hate Detroit, the puck possession clinic that the Wings put on in the Second Period was un freaking believable.

[Stickman]

This. I also dont understand why people say the canucks arent tough enough. The Sedins take a beating and still put the puck in the net. Same with all lines. They dont need an enforcer or anything they need the referrees to call the rules. Vancouver follows the Detroit school of building the team and you cant tell me Detroit is tough.

[Corndad]

Dark Dark time for Pens Fans.

4 game skid.
Crosby already out. No time table for return.
Letang already out. No time table for return.
Staal out 4-6 weeks.
James Neal broke foot out "weeks"
Craig Adams left practice with "Bad Leg Injury"

[Hanso Amore]

Not sure how many more sabres games I can stomach that are void of any effort or fire. Just lazy, uninspired hockey. Giving up soft goals left and right. No one can put the puck in the net.

One period into a Maple Leafs game, normally a big night, and I just want to turn it off.

Im sick of hearing about their injuries. Pitt is still ahead of them in the standings and they are missing their top players.
