[Bad News Gertner]

I'll shoot the Leafs if they sign Stamkos. It makes zero sense and goes against everything they've been doing

[YOUR Hero]

I bet the Leafs sign him. It doesn't make much sense, but I bet they do. Or at least make a serious run at him.

[Bad News Gertner]

Oh they probably will

[Evil Vito]

The Isles blew three separate leads last night and lost in OT. Ugh.

[Evil Vito]

Ovechkin will go down in history as the NHL's Dan Marino.

[JimmyMess]

Penguins have invited Shawn Michaels to game 5 to help push on the "HBK" line of Carl Hagelin, Nick Bonino, and Phil Kessel

Making an appearance, because hockey.

Even though I'm of course still happy with the Isles' season...man seeing how the Pens are playing against the Lightning makes me feel a bit sour. The Isles could have taken these Pens and gotten to the finals.

[screech]

I can't pick a damn winner in either series.

PIT/TB every game has been TO THE WIRE pretty much. Insane.

SJ/STL is ridiculous. Close game 1, two Sharks blowouts, and a Blues buttfucking in game 4.

Love playoff hockey

[Bad News Gertner]

Jim Benning is so God damn fucking awful. How do the Panthers keep fleecing the Canucks in trades? It's the fucking Panthers!

Ha ha...Tampa Bay lost...nice to see their punishment for 2004 keeps rolling on.

The Canucks have a lot of forwards, but yeah, I dunno how I feel about it either.

Like you could basically keep McCann and just sign Luke Schenn. Not that much difference between Schenn and Gudbranson.

Viewership for Monday's game on NBC dropped 36 percent from last year, receiving a 2.7 overnight rating - the lowest for a Cup Final Game 1 since the 2012 series opener between the Kings and Devils, which earned a 2.4 rating, according to Sports Media Watch.

NBA's Warriors-Thunder Game 7 occurring during the same time hurt it a lot. Also didn't help the Warriors are in the same market as the Sharks which took another chunk out of the ratings and viewers.

I haven't dropped in here since January. Sure doesn't feel like that long.

Anyway, the Pens' defensive play has been excellent. Sullivan is getting all the credit, but I'm pretty sure that Jacques Martin is at least partly to thank for the team's success in shutting down the opposition.

[Emperor Smeat]

The NHL has settled on Las Vegas as its choice for expansion, provided organizers can come up with a $500 million fee, sources told ESPN's Scott Burnside.

New team could arrive as early as the 2017-18 season.

Even though Quebec City failed to get picked this time, should be a strong contender on getting a team next time the NHL wants to expand.

[Bad News Gertner]

Leafs get Anderson from Anaheim for the 30th pick and a 2017 2nd.

The Leafs have literally not made a move that I've disliked in over a year.

[Stickman]

I don't think they will want a 31 team league for long. They are more than likely aiming for 32.

[Emperor Smeat]

NHL announced Las Vegas is officially joining the league after next season along with them getting to pick 3rd in every round of next year's draft except the 1st round.

Going to cost the new team around $500 million for the expansion fee.

[Bad News Gertner]

Habs and Oilers both go and make retarded deals within hours of each other.

And that's why a Canadian team hasn't won in forever.

[Rebirth]

The PK deal was bad. The Taylor Hall deal was one of the worst trades i've ever seen. In any sport.

[YOUR Hero]

Imagine if that had been a Hall for Subban deal...
Although I like Weber

[Bad News Gertner]

So in the past few days the Oilers have:

Traded Yakupov for nothing
Signed Kris Russell who's fucking horrible for 3.1 million
Signed Kris Versteeg to a PTO since they have no depth on the wing and lost him to the Flames.

He's making Holland look competant

[Bad News Gertner]

Matthews should just retire after this game.

[Emperor Smeat]

:y: 6-3 win by the Bs to start the season.

[Bad News Gertner]

Connor Brown and Mitch Marner with goals. All 6 goals by the Leafs so far have been scored by rookies.

[RP]

I know this wont matter because they will find a way to fuck it up, but Toronto has some talent.

[YOUR Hero]

Leafs get Anderson from Anaheim for the 30th pick and a 2017 2nd.

1st in the West. Looking good so far....Russell has 3 A's and is +7 in 6 games.... Hard to complain about that, When in the past 10 years has anyone on the team been +7 ever?

I got NHL TV, so I can finally start following the hockey again after 7 years; the league has changed, so has my Minnesoata. I think Koivu is the only player left from when I followed them the first time round.

For those that have NHL TV, will I be able to watch the playoffs on there as well with my subscription (either live or the day after)?

[ClockShot]

New expansion team in Las Vegas will be called the Golden Knights.

They could have thought of something much better than that.

[Emperor Smeat]

Logo looks good but yeah the name could have been better.

"if you cheat you are going to be buried in the desert"

[Emperor Smeat]

Apparently Las Vegas needs to come up with a new name for the team since their trademark got denied.

Shared too many similarities with a trademark held by a different sports team.

A USPTO document made its way across the Internet on Wednesday evening detailing the rejection of Black Knight Sports and Entertainment’s (the company owned by Vegas team owner Bill Foley) attempted trademark. The reason for the denied request? The Vegas mark shares too many similarities with The College of Saint Rose Golden Knights.

[Simple Fan]

Blue Jakets are kicking ass. 15 in a row.

[Ruien]

Lol what kind of a team name is Blue Jacket?

[Simple Fan]

They are named for the Civil War volunteers form Ohio. My high school are the blue jackets but we have a blue bee as a mascot.

[road doggy dogg]

RIP Jackets

[Simple Fan]

Had a good run though. Been waiting for this team to get good and they finally have. Thought last year would be a better year than it was but they are making up for it this year.

[Emperor Smeat]

Bruins fired Claude Julien as their head coach today.

Was bound to happen with how badly they've been struggling this season and the ultimatum of him needing to get to the playoffs to save his job after how the last 2 seasons ended.

[road doggy dogg]

still a bit of a shocker though

[Emperor Smeat]

Bs management are still slimeballs.

Didn't want any immediate backlash from it so they timed it to be announced when the Pats were doing their championship parade. Figured most people would only care or find out about it later.

Then when the parade had to be delayed, something suddenly came up for the Bs that they had to delay their press conference. Just so happens whatever caused the Bs delay managed to get resolved right when the Pats parade resumed.

[road doggy dogg]

lol that's actually kind of hilarious

I still think it's odd to dump a coach when your team is in a playoff spot and he has by all accounts been a great coach for Boston

I get that sometimes you need a change of scenery and sometimes the coach's message starts falling on deaf ears (see: Babcock), but wait til the season is over at least imo

[Emperor Smeat]

Yeah he pretty much got fired now because they no longer hold a playoff spot.

Was only a matter of time till they lost it because of how many more games they played compared to the Leafs and them being way too mediocre overall. Might have been able to last till the end of the season if the schedule was more balanced in terms of games played.

Metropolitan division being really competitive this year doesn't help either since they probably are going to take both wild card spots left.

[road doggy dogg]

The schedule this year has been so fucking weird. At one point the Bruins had like 6 or 7 games played more than a team like Toronto. Meanwhile, the Leafs for no reason had over a week off in their schedule. Stupid NHL

[Bad News Gertner]

The Bruins seemed to be slowly deteriorating. This was bound to happen.

[Emperor Smeat]

Coyotes denying rumors of them scouting Seattle and Portland as possible future locations for the team. Supposedly the team was scouting arenas in those two cities during the same time of trying to get an arena deal done with Arizona State which recently failed.

http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/2017/2/8/14556286/arizona-coyotes-deny-portland-seattle-arena-tours-relocation

[RP]

LOL the Canadians.

Firing the head coach while in first place . Stay classy Montreal!

[road doggy dogg]

Ben Bishop to the Kings is a baffling trade.

[road doggy dogg]

The Hanzal trade is a bit of a head-scratcher too. Great player but MIN gave up a lot for him. He's a UFA after this year too. I get that MIN is all-in right now and didn't want to give up any of their highly touted prospects but man, seems expensive.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

B's seem to be one-and done.
C's seem to be one-and-done (also did it last year)
Sox were one-and-done inside of a year.

[RaginRonic]

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Are any Canadian teams about to be eliminated from the playoffs? Maybe he means that?

Oh, probably. Calgary got swept already. Montreal is down 2-3. Toronto is 2-2 though (but will probably lose), Ottawa and Edmonton are ahead in their series

The 2 Caps fans in Maple Leaf Square who cheered the final goal of the series should have been hauled out of there....in bodybags. Why? They wore a U.S. NHL teams' sweater in Canadian borders.

Fuck Ovechkin up the ass like the Russian faggot that he is, here's hoping he gets his brain scrambled off the ice into ground beef against the Pens, and that Sidney Crosby continues to gag-rape the fans of the Capitals, forevermore.

Alexander Ovechkin has NO RIGHT at all to know what it's like to win a Cup, and to try to execute a pro-Russia political coup over the NHL....which I'm sure NBC won't mind, cause the U.S. is taking it up their asshole from Russia too. > = (

Only Sens and Oilers until Ronic really explooooodes. Death threats already though lol

[RaginRonic]

Typical NHL fans in both the U.S. and Canada....wanting Canada to be fucked for money.

Fuck that shit. Not one dollar that we in Canada spend on the NHL should go to any international expansion of that league's operations. It should be spent on telling the U.S. where to go, while all the teams Gary created die, like both Florida teams, the Hurricanes, Ducks, Sharks, Coyotes, and Stars.

Fuck them all.

And fuck Gary for talking to China too. Like us hockey fans in Canada want to be slaves to China's fucked up whims.

Because I've studied the patterns of how the playoffs have shaken out since 1994, and I can see what's coming.

That being, the last 2 teams from here being eliminated in Round 2, in series they have no control or say over.

Edmonton can only win if they injure several Anaheim players out of the playoffs, and same with Ottawa against New York. I mean the type of injuries that would sicken someone in the UFC.

Broken necks, broken legs, concussions, caved in eye sockets...you know, highly destructive shit.

It'd warm my heart to see the side of Lundqvist's head opened up and bleeding everywhere. A little gorn in the NHL never hurts...especially when it's a U.S. team doing the fucking bleeding.

[RaginRonic]

I don't want Rogers/CBC airing the Cup Finals in Canada if 2 U.S. teams are involved.

To me, that's subliminal advertising of U.S. 'culture' on Canadian TV.

In fact, I'd go one further, and say that if 2 U.S. teams make it to the Cup Final, then the whole series is blacked out on Canadian TV and all online streams, even if extreme financial damage to the NHL is the end result.

That way, we don't have to watch Gary Buttman use the Canadian flag as toilet paper, to wipe his ass with, and then throw it in the Cup when he's done with it.

24 years of no championship for Canada's franchises. Makes me want to go to the HHOF, with a sledgehammer, and destroy the Cup they have there.

The Cup means nothing if it promotes U.S. financial power on Canadian TV...there's a word for that. It's called anti-Canadian propaganda.

To those here, don't watch the Cup Final, and don't keep giving Gary your TV money.

Nice to see those Assville fans mouths finally forced shut...classless morons they all are.

Nothing makes me happier right now than seeing Subban fail to win a Cup...that's what he gets for not staying in Montreal and being patient, winning one for the Habs, even if it meant spurning millions of dollars he'd not get.

And to all the Preds fans, thanks for leaving your testicles at the door when you left...but then, all of you were snivelling cowards anyway. This win by the Pens, and by Sidney 'Dear Leader, Supreme Lord, and Master' Crosby got you neutered in your home building. So, ha ha to you for being that dumb.

Not defending Mike...I'd like to snip his vocal cords out and kick the shit out of him too, namely breaking his skull off a brick wall, and leave him where I found him.

But I know this too.

If I, a Canadian, was on a U.S. NHL team, and was forced to win a Cup for that city, if won, I would leave the ice, go back to the dressing room, and lock the door behind me.

I would then take my gear off, and then throw that sweater I wore, along with a U.S. flag, the NBC logo, and a picture of Bettman into a garbage can, pour gas on it all, and torch it.

I would then destroy all the alcohol in that room, and rip up all the logo cards hung up.

I would also then shower, collect my gear, like my skates and pads, unlock the door, and leave(all of my other personal belongings would have been taken home from the arena days before).

I would rather do that than prop up the U.S. teams collective financial power over the ones in Canada, even if it meant I did not hoist the Cup, attend the parade, got my name on the trophy, got my personal day with it, or got a Cup ring, for that U.S. city.

To me, it's not worth my time having any pride over any of the 24 U.S. NHL cities. Because, with all the money in the world to make the Canadian clubs their slaves, and to buy all the good players, there is no reason for a U.S. NHL city to be proud of their team.

I see me propping those cities up as being beneath me, and not worth my time or respect giving a shit about any fans in those social shitholes. Period.

there's quite a few name players available for Vegas now! I definitely see them scooping up Fleury for sure.

Don't try to lure me in Capitals..I'm not falling for it

[Bad News Gertner]

The Leafs offence looks ridiculous

[Heyman]

The Canucks won't do anything this year, but I respect the fact that they're competing hard every night. Young players on the team are learning the correct habits.

[Bad News Gertner]

Travis Green is an excellent coach. Really liked that hire.

[Heyman]

Yeah I've been extremely impressed with Green thus far. Definitely better than the shit show known as Willie Desjardins.

If the Canucks somehow manage to squeak into the playoffs this year (likely won't happen), then Green deserves to be considered as a Jack Adams candidate.

Stop spamming the forum you fucking moron.

Probably writing Bettman a threatening letter if he awards a franchise to Seattle instead of Quebec

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

What team did the Nordiques morph to Nashville?

[Emperor Smeat]

What team did the Nordiques morph to Nashville?

Colorado

[Helmsphere]

I believe Nashville was a Expansion Team, The Quebec Nordique became the Colorado Avalanche

[Bad News Gertner]

Correct

[JimmyMess]

Yes, facts.

[JimmyMess]

remember when Colorado wore the Nordiques jerseys for one game? I'm trying to find footage of it.

Maybe I made it up, but I'm pretty sure that happened.

[Bad News Gertner]

Felt bad for the Nords when they moved. They were shits for years and finally had a pretty decent team with tons of young talent.

Rick Nash and Michael Grabner both pulled from their game tonight. Apparently trades are closing.

[Bad News Gertner]

Toronto better not go for Nash

[JimmyMess]

They would be silly too, unless they can get a sweet deal. But I feel like Rangers asking price is super high. I'm not banking Leaf's future picks and players on Nash

[JimmyMess]

Grabner to New Jersey I just saw from last night!

[JimmyMess]

Plekanec will be a good fit for toronto.

Also, I went to the Wings game last night. Holy fuck that was the nicest arena I've ever been to. It was ridiculous

[Bad News Gertner]

New arena and people still aren't going to Wings and Pistons games. HockeyTown my ass.

[JimmyMess]

lol, yeah they had no problem attending when the wings were winning cups.

i also paid $21.50 US for two beers. That's like a thousand Canadian.

[Luigi]

Steve Yzerman completely robbed the New York Rangers. McDonagh and JT Miller to Tampa, and Tampa doesn't even have to give up Sergachev or Point. That's definitely highway robbery if I've ever seen one!

[Luigi]

This years draft close looks pretty good. Rasmus Dahlin could easily be the defensive equivalent of Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid. Andrei Svechnikov has some defensive issues, but the kid is a world class talent up front. Great size, speed, smarts, and he’s strong on the puck. I’m not entirely sold on Filip Zadina. He’s got great skill but I’m not sold on his speed. I think Brady Tkachuk will be a decent player, but I don’t think he will be a star like his older brother or his father. I think he’ll be a decent 2nd line player. I think Adam Boqvist has a lot of offensive potential on D, but his defensive game needs some work, otherwise he will just be a glorified PP specialist. He will also need some time in the minors to physically develop. My hope is that my team wins the lottery and drafts Dahlin. Svechnikov would be my 2nd choice, followed by BT.

[Luigi]

Leafs defense and penalty kill look atrocious. Lots of skill on the Leafs but the inpression I get from watching them is that their easy to play against. They don’t seem to be overly committed to winning puck battles.

[Bad News Gertner]

Their defence had been bad all season. They also aren't a very strong or physical team. When they get hot though, they are a very tough team to keep up with.

[JimmyMess]

Leafs pulled it off tonight, good job

[Luigi]

Kings.......SWEPT! I didn't see that one coming at all. I'll have to admit that I completely underestimated Vegas. They are an extremely big and fast team and pretty much beat LA at their own game.

[Bad News Gertner]

I remember people HATING the the team Vegas drafted in the Expansion draft.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Canada is down to one team.

[Emperor Smeat]

That was the best 3rd period by the Bs since probably the last time they played the Maple Leafs in a Game 7.

Also might have been the worse cleaning of the ice by a zamboni ever.

[owenbrown]

Was Stone Cold Steve Austin driving the zamboni? :shifty:

[Emperor Smeat]

Was Stone Cold Steve Austin driving the zamboni? :shifty:
Wouldn't be surprised considering how much water was on the ice and how much Stone Cold misses when he drinks.

[El Fangel]

Christ, been rooting for Vegas since October.

Sharks making it interesting

[Emperor Smeat]

In a bit of a shocker, Caps coach Barry Trotz suddenly resigned.

Supposedly his contract expired after this season but there were terms for a 2-year extension to kick in if he won the Cup. The extension got triggered but he wanted better terms than the team was willing to give for a new deal so he left in the end.

[ClockShot]

He'll make the next team better that he goes to, that's for sure.

[Bad News Gertner]

Unless it's Edmonton

[Evil Vito]

Trotz to the Islanders!

[OssMan]

congrats islanders trotz da bess.. Anyone watch caps victory celebration seen me going crazy in the box seats

[RaginRonic]

So it looks like that fucker Bettman's going to the HOF.

What a dickbag choice that was from that committee.

He should'ntve gone into the Hall until after his death, so that way we don't have to listen to his whiny prick voice talk at that venue, nor hear him promote his own stupid shit.

The only hall he belongs in is a Hall of Pain, where he's basically beaten like a dog in some room somewhere...maybe in a motel off the Mass Turnpike.

> = P

[poopfromweiner dude]

really great that Las Vegas is now the place to see hockey in its truest form

[Bad News Gertner]

And we have Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Gary Bettman to thank for that

[Droford]

I find it funny the Capitals bent the Stanley Cup

[Bad News Gertner]

I'm surprised it's still in one piece

[Nicky Fives]

I'm surprised Ovechkin didn't drill a hole into it....

[Emperor Smeat]

NHL laid down the hammer on Nashville's Austin Watson in regards to a domestic violence incident he had over the summer. Suspended for the entire pre-season and first 27 games of the season.

Droford waits until they win the Stanley Cup to become a superfan on TPWW.

[Droford]

No lie the playoff game I went to was the first in probably 25+ years the last game I went to they played in Landover MD

Even though they lost that game I like to think I broke the jinx they had on them by going finally. My grandmother was a huge Caps fan.

[Droford]

It's already 3-2 Caps 8 minutes in. Caps have 10 goals in 68 minutes

As big of a Blackhawks fan as I am, Toronto vs Dallas is the Stanley Cup Finals everyone deserves.

If Minnesota can face Dallas in the playoffs with Minnesota winning it would be fitting.

Chicago Blackhawks Officially have become a Dumpster Fire today. Terrible firing.

Hawks bringing the children with cancer on the ice was amazing tonight.

[RaginRonic]

For a little while now, I've tried to rack my brain as to how it's possible for all 4 of Canada's Western Conference teams to make the playoffs in all 4 different series that there are(making 4 U.S. V. Canada series).

It took some effort, but I FINALLY solved that puzzle.

Now, this is based on the below pic I found on Twitter for the standings as of Nov. 20, 2018 at 10:49PM EST.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dsfx_rUWkAA3y3A.jpg

Now, for this to work, I replace Dallas with Edmonton(again, it's just hypothetical, people).

This is HOW it works.

U.S. team wins Cent. Division & plays Canadian Pacific Division team who finishes as 2nd Wild Card.

Winnipeg finishes 2nd or 3rd in Central, plays U.S team they're next to in division standings.

Canadian team finishes 1st in Pacific Division, plays U.S. team as 1st Wild Card.

Canadian team finishes either 2nd or 3rd in Pacific, plays U.S. team they're next to in division standings.

Example for above(using standings going into games scheduled for Nov. 20 & 21, 2018)

1C Nashville V. 2WC Edmonton
2C Winnipeg V. 3C Minnesota

1P Calgary V. 1WC Colorado
2P San Jose V. 3P Vancouver

=)

[Fignuts]

Fucking terrible Sabres can't even win 11 games in a row. Season over.

Was that before or after putting their friend through a table?

[Droford]

If Seattle doesn't name their team the Kraken they're morons

[ClockShot]

Seattle might go back in time and call the team the Metropolitans.

That's one theory. Or they might keep up with the rest of the Seattle teams and tie water into it.

[RP]

I'm not gonna freak out. I'm just here to report. Blackhawks are 3 points out of a WC spot. Patty Kane and Toews have been playing there asses off.

[RP]

Blackhawks have won 7 straight games. 2 games from WC. They play the Bruins tonight. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO

[rez]

Red Wing suck hard dick. ugh.. at least we have the Pizza Arena. I'm going to go cuddle with my 2008 Stanley Cup memorabilia :\

[RP]

The Blackhawks are beating the Senators 5 -4 ... with 2 minutes left in the 1st period.

[RP]

Mantha and Larkin are fantastic.

[RP]

Wings just erased a 3 goal deficit. Wings vs Hawks are going to OT. Hawks need this win.

[RP]

KANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR YOU BEASTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTt

[RP]

Kane goal in OT. Goodnight Detroit!

[RP]

Hawks vs Colorado next game. HUGEEEEEEEEEEE

[rez]

Wings, Lightning, Senators in that order.

[rez]

Fuck, I was down in Tampa for the playoffs last year. You all would be surprised how much they love hockey.

[rez]

Yzerman because he joined the Lightning office and has done great things

Alfredsson because I loved his playing.

All of this before Detroit joined the East. Ugh.

[rez]

Hate the Blackhawks, Blues, and Avalanche for life

[Droford]

Tampa and Pittsburgh losing means all the Caps really have to do to get back to the finals is beat the Islanders/their old coach (no offense to Columbus but, nope). Not having to fuck around with Pittsburgh or face Tampa is huge

[LoDownM]

Its not over yet. Jerkford :fu:

[Droford]

Penguins and Lightning are both down 0-3 lol

[Droford]

Lightning got blown out 7-3..come on Penguins hold up your end

[Droford]

Fuck the Penguins lol

[Droford]

Fuck Pittsburgh in general.

Great night for sports

[Droford]

Officially now fuck the Bruins cause Boston doesn't need to go to/ win the championship in all 4 sports straight.

[Emperor Smeat]

Lightning got blown out 7-3..come on Penguins hold up your end

Sharks have to be relieved since they no longer own the most recent playoffs disaster of epic proportions.

Before last night, Sharks had that distinction with the Kings pulling a reverse sweep on them in the 2014 playoffs.

[Droford]

2010 Capitals won the Presidents cup w 121 pts lost to 8 seed montreal in 7.

[Emperor Smeat]

Same playoffs had the Bruins get hit with the reverse sweep by the Flyers which was arguably more humiliating.

[RaginRonic]

Nice to see that the sacred cow Lightning got a skate slit across their throat....1st ever President's Trophy winners to be swept in Round 1.

Looks good on that fucked up, bipolar fanbase.

Not a tear shed here.

[Helmsphere]

They might have to get past the Leafs first, Well if they can get past Boston.

Fuck just give my Leafs a Playoff series win.

[Droford]

The Capitals are set up pretty good to repeat with all the top seeds losing

[RaginRonic]

Just my annual reminder of shit in the NHL...

Anyone who supports an NHL team, who plays their home games in the U.S., is just like Gary Bettman, those teams, and the NHL on NBC...they are an anti-Canadian conservative corporate terrorist at best, and a fascist social sellout in fact.

Just like all those in the U.S. Republican Party, and EVERYBODY in the far-right ReTrumplican socio-economical movement as well.

So go fuck yourselves, k?

#CANADAFIRSTNHL

>=[

[Droford]

Caps just got fucked over on a no goal call that would have tied the game at 3 now they're down 4-2

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Bruins win. ALL CANADIAN TEAMS OUT IN ROUND 1

[Evil Vito]

Have a good first night of your offseason, John Tavares. Don’t forget to put your Toronto Maple Leaf jammies on.

[RaginRonic]

So, the same ol' Yank B.S. continues in the NHL, huh?

Governing only to make Canada's teams the personal slaves of the 24 U.S. NHL clubs?

This only goes to show me that anyone who takes the side of those clubs, Bettman, and the NHL on NBC, collectively, deserve only one thing...their necks stomped on just for doing it.

I, personally, have had it up to here with those 3 entities getting away with any crap they want at all at Canada's expense. All 3 are nothing but useless freeloaders and worthless scofflaws who don't pay the bills that Canada's 7 clubs + Sportsnet/CBC/TSN send them every year.

Hell, the U.S. should consider itself lucky the NHL is even in that country at all. But, of course, it breaks down to the same old social and economic maxim...the U.S. is grateful for absolutely not one thing they have and get to experience, because they wield all the power and control in every international relationship they engage in.

This is how I think it's time that Canada's NHL markets should stop playing nice with our southern 'neighbors'.

A] No longer sell ANY U.S. NHL gear, including championship gear, in ANY stores across Canada(both brick/mortar and online)

B] All those stores burn all their existing stock of that gear, and sell it to no one.

C] No longer allow ANY Canadian travel company to sell road trip tickets to any of the 24 U.S. NHL venues.

D] Ban fans from wearing ANY gear from those clubs inside Rogers Arena in Vancouver(MASSIVE no-no there), the ScotiaBank SaddleDome in Calgary(HELL NO!), Rogers Place in Edmonton(FORGET THAT!), Bell MTS Centre in Winnipeg, ScotiaBank Arena in Toronto(SCREW YOU BOSTON!), Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa(DUCK HUNT IN PERPETUITY!), and the Bell Centre in Montreal.

E] No longer allow U.S. NHL club fans to buy tickets to any NHL games in those 7 venues.

F] No longer allow U.S. NHL club fans to enter those venues to watch non-game NHL events(drafts, et al).

G] Ban the NHL on NBC from entering Canada for coverage of ANY game here, Cup Final included.

H] Ban Bettman from entering any border crossing into Canada period.

I] Ban fans from wearing any U.S. NHL gear in any of Canada's NHL buildings.

and J] Terminate Bettman's job, dissolve the corrupt pro-U.S/anti-Canada Board of Governors that don't make CANADA FIRST! decisions, and create a new 7-person tribunal to govern the league, to ensure MANDATORY 50-50 cross-border balance for all things NHL(roster equalization, same number of teams from each country in each division, et al).

I've had it with U.S. control over the league, I've had it with those who support that, and I'm more than welcoming to anyone who's had it up to here with it as much as I AM!

So, who's with me here?

Just asking.
