NHL 2006-2007 Season Thread

[YOUR Hero]

Awesome, once I have a good puta and good connection, I'll utilize this.

[samichna]

Leafs over Buffalo 4-1. :cool:

[weather vane]

BRUINS WITH A HUGE COMEBACK TONIGHT

this is where we turn it all around

[Blitz]

Leafs hand the Sabres their first regulation loss of the season :y:

[Casey Jones]

The Ducks are the best team in the league in my opinion.

They'll only get better once they move Giguerre or Brizgalov at the trade deadline.

[Blitz]

Dunno how you can say anyone but Buffalo is the best right now.

[Skippord]

Pretty terrible Devils game, stands were like 1/3 full. Everytime a goal was scored I would yell "GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.. HOCKEYYYYYYYY GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL". prob only Skippord will get and doubt he will read it so :-\

Shoulda just stayed home an watched WVU/Lousiville
lol

[Caged Heat18]

Buffalo comes back from a 3-1 deficit to beat the Rangers in overtime. They just don't stop. Biron was in goal and is now 3-0 as a backup goalie.

[Blitz]

Rumours going around that Calgary and Philly are both looking to shake up their teams, possible swapping Iginla and Gagne.

[YOUR Hero]

Flames wouldn't trade Iggy :'( ... not to Philly!

[samichna]

Well if they were to trade him, Philly would make sense because they wouldn't want to send him to a team they might have to battle for a playoff spot.

[samichna]

Go Leafs Go btw

[Blitz]

4th in the East :y:

[Caged Heat18]

Devils with another come from behind win late in the third period. Dowd scores his first of the year with a minute left, and then Madden scores in the 6th round of a shootout to win it.

[Zen v.W.o.]

lol at Sundin being gone for a month.

[Blitz]

:mad:

[Caged Heat18]

lol at Sundin being gone for a month.

He was having a good year, plus he is on my fantasy team, so I do not like this news.

[Fignuts]

Buffalo wins again last night. Cannot wait to go visit home and see a game.

[LoDownM]

Looks like the Penguins are on thier way to the bottom of the league :(

[Caged Heat18]

Devils win their fourth straight, as Brodeur continues to play well. Their doing it without too much scoring, so once Gomez gets healthy and comes back, hopefully he can ignite Gionta and Elias who each have been slumping. Although Elias had a goal and assist tonight, so hopefully he can turn things around.

[samichna]

Leafs

[Blitz]

4 points behind Buffalo :love:

[samichna]

Buffalo has three games in hand though, so that's not really accurate.

[Gertner]

can't believe my Leafs are doing that well

[Blitz]

Gotta say, I'm positively pleased as punch at how poorly the Sens are doing.

[YOUR Hero]

It's a long season, I wouldn't be putting too much faith in the standings at this point.

[Blitz]

Let me have my moment :mad:

[Caged Heat18]

Devils/Rangers tonight. They usually are some pretty good games. Devils are streaking right now, I hope they keep it up.

[Fignuts]

Buffalo defeats the stanley cup champs, 7-4, to make them the number one team in the NHL.

Gonna hand ottawa yet another spanking next.

[samichna]

Woo they're showing the Sabres/Sens game on tv here tomorrow night

[YOUR Hero]

fucking Canucks

[Caged Heat18]

Damn Devils. They blow a 2-0 lead in the third period in about 1:20.

[MVP]

Maybe the Bruins can make it 2 in a row for the first time all season since they're playing Washington tonight, but then again Washington has been decent so far this season so it's more likely it'll be another blowout and we'll have to pull Thomas again.

[Caged Heat18]

Devils beat the Senators tonight 3-2. Parise with a goal and two assists. He is playing much better this year, which is good to see. Devils have the Leafs tonight, and the Devils have struggled on the road this year, so hopefully they can change that.

[Bazooka]

well, buffalo sabres are on a roll I see, as are the red wings, so it could be between the two. If I could pick a team, it would be the sharks, very aggresive and determined as witnessed last year. If any of those teams, or Lightning take the Stanley I would sport their avator for 5 months.

[Caged Heat18]

Devils once again have trouble scoring, but thanks to Brodeur defeat the Leafs 2-1. Langenbrunner scores again, as he has been on fire as of late.

[Bazooka]

sweet red wings/oilers game last night - first time I sat through a full game in the past couple months (only 1 tv in thee house and others). Alot of shots on net by the wings but Roloson was on fire, like the dives. Oilers win 4-3.

[samichna]

Raffi's head fakes in the shootout were pretty rofl

[Blitz]

Raffi's head fakes in the shootout were pretty rofl
lol yep.

[Zen v.W.o.]

I dont understand how the Sabres can be that good.

[Blitz]

They are fucking scary, agreed. Really don't see how it can be anything but a Sabres/Ducks Stanley Cup Final at this point.

[BCWWF]

Wild are slipping

[Caged Heat18]

^ Yeah Fernandez has not played well as of late, plus Gaborik has been out. I think they will be fine, and still have a shot to win their division. If not they still should make the playoffs.

[Caged Heat18]

They are fucking scary, agreed. Really don't see how it can be anything but a Sabres/Ducks Stanley Cup Final at this point.

That would definetely be a great series. That series would definetely showcase speed, which is a big part of hockey. Although I am still going with the Sharks as the team from the west to go the finals.

[samichna]

Don't get your hopes up for playoff match-ups just yet, cause the "new NHL" is pretty unpredictable. As evidenced by last year's playoffs, "hardworking" or "gritty" teams are sometimes able to wear down speedy/skilled teams over the course of a best-of-seven series. (ie. the Edmonton Oilers marching to the Cup Finals)

[Caged Heat18]

Yeah their is still a long way to go before the playoffs. Anaheim beat San Jose 5-0 tonight, so they keep on rolling.

[samichna]

Selanne's sitting at 499 career goals now.

[samichna]

Do you think he's got enough gas left in his tank to pass Jari Kurri (601) for most goals by a Finnish-born player?

(he is 36 years old)

[Gertner]

I think Jari's record is safe

[Zen v.W.o.]

Do you think he's got enough gas left in his tank to pass Jari Kurri (601) for most goals by a Finnish-born player?

(he is 36 years old)


I say he would have, had he played earlier. He was drafted in like 1988 or 89, but only started playing in the 92-93 season.

[YOUR Hero]

If he could have one really big goal scoring year again soon (this or next year) then maybe.

[Zen v.W.o.]

Yeah, it's doable I think. He seems like the kind of guy that would want to break it.

Anyways, did any of ya'll see that beating Brashear put on Vishnivski or however you spell it? Blood all over his face and jersey..all over the ice.
That's what you get hartley when you try to goon it up.

[Blitz]

Wow Ryan Miller was fucking sensational in the 3rd period against the Leafs tonight.

[Zen v.W.o.]

Also Habs won. Keeping pace!

[Caged Heat18]

Devils put up a pretty lethargic effort in a 3-1 loss to the Coyotes. Gomez came back, but he did not look good, as well as the rest of the team.

[Zen v.W.o.]

http://www.bodogbeat.com/img/darcytucker2.jpg

[samichna]

You guys really don't think he's got three 30-goals seasons left in him after this year?

[samichna]

Wow oops.

Talking about Selanne btw.

[YOUR Hero]

20 is the new 30, that's part of the problem. Goal scoring may be up, but not like was anticipated, in fact it's down this year over last years. If he has a big year this year, he should be ok, but if he does not, coaches will start to play him less and the like because they'll assume age is slowing him down.

[Caged Heat18]

Goal scoring is down. Selanne is getting older and he is still 100 away. I would doubt that he would get to 600. He had a great year last year, but I don't think he will be able to repeat that. He only has a few years left, so I do not see it happening.

[Fignuts]

I dont understand how the Sabres can be that good.

Its because the whole team has been playing together for quite a while now, but at the same time they are still relatively young.

It really has to do with a combination of amazing chemistry and blazing speed. I honestly beleive they are the fastest team in the NHL.

[samichna]

Yeah the Sabres are probably the fastest team in the NHL. I love watching them play.

ANYWAY, back to Selanne. I dunno why you guys seem so convinced that he has no chance of getting to 600 goals in his career.

He has 8 goals in 23 games so far this year. If he stays healthy and remains on this pace (which is below his capablities btw), he will score around 28 goals this year, leaving him with a total of 520 by season's end.

For argument's sake, lets say he plays three more years after this season. In those three years, he would need a total of 81 goals to tie Jari Kurri's mark of 601. That amounts to an average of 27 goals per year.

Is it really out of the question?

[MVP]

Sweet the Bruins won again. Now let's try and start winning games in regulation.

[Joey Slugs]

best jersey in hockey:

http://nhl.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pG01-2339897dt.jpg

(btw: what is the better game: nhl 2k7 or nhl '07?)

[Zen v.W.o.]

nhl 2k7 is more realistic to what you might get in the NHL today. But the gameplay on 07 is fantastic. The ability to control how you stickhandle makes it immense. Plus the graphics are better.

The soundtrack for 2K7 is tops though. Anything associated with sub pop is good.

I have both, and you wont go wrong with any. Although I was never thrilled with the way 2K7 plays.

I prefer 07. The gameplay puts it over the top.


Habs destroy the Sabres.

[samichna]

Darcy Tucker is on pace for 54 goals. :|

[BCWWF]

Wild finally get a good win, and I was there :D

[samichna]

Sweet. It's impossible to get tickets here, and they're fucking expensive.

brb gonna check Wild ticket prices

[samichna]

Minnesota: tickets range from $16 to $92. (US$)

Toronto: tickets range from $36 to $336. (US$)

[Gertner]

nhl 2k7

[YOUR Hero]

It's not out of the question, samichna, just a long shot.

[Joey Slugs]

Anyone ever read John Buccigross' articles on ESPN.com?

This one is from this past Sunday (during the NY/Buffalo game)

http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/columns/story?columnist=buccigross_john&id=2677731&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab2pos3

[Caged Heat18]

Devils drop their fourth straight. This time in a shootout to the Kings. They are really struggling, but they did get two power play goals tonight, so maybe their power play will start going.

[Joey Slugs]

One of the sweetest passes I have seen in a while.... Crosby is a fucking stud.

<object height="350" width="425">

<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hjB1Izuff20" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="425"></object>

[Caged Heat18]

^ That was a pretty nice pass.

[Caged Heat18]

What did everyone think of the Oveckhin hit against Briere the other night? I thought it was defintetly a pentaly, but I don't think he really meant harm by it.

[MVP]

Briere is a douche anyway.

[Blitz]

Ovechkin got what he deserved.

[Lara Emily]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=js9NYLCaPI0

Antoine Vermette's half spinorama through the legs no look goal from the weekend saw this one in person.

[samichna]

Yeah Lara, that was unreal :cool:

[Blitz]

Yeah Vermette's goal was amazing.

[Lara Emily]

I was at the game, there was like a split second delay between the move and the horn, or at least it seemed that way at the game, because I remember seeing the move and thiking wow nice little move there (not expecting anything to come of it) then the goal horn went off and I realised the puck went in, I couldn't believe it, just an awesome thing to see live.

[Caged Heat18]

Anybody see Bouchard's shootout goal versus Chicago Tuesday night? He did a spinarama and scored, and it was funny as it was against Dens Savard and the Blackhawks of all teams. Coolness.

[weather vane]

yeah was absolutely filthy

[YOUR Hero]

I just can't watch the Canucks anymore. Ever since I moved to BC, I've tried to (and did) make them my team. I came here as a Habs fan, they always remained my "2nd" favourite team as I "made" Vancouver my team... I find however I enjoy, actually always have, watching the Habs over the Canucks. Sure when Bure and Linden were rookies, it was easier to follow the Canucks, them trading for Naslund and him blossoming was awesome. They are however, and almost always have been, frustrating to watch. There is something wrong with the chemistry of the team. I don't just mean now, but always. Something at the grass roots is wrong with this organization. For me, they will remain a team to lightly follow, I wish them well, but I cannot suppress my desire to openly root once again for Les Habitant.

There, I said it.

Great story naming Mike Modano as the greatest US-born hockey player ever.

[YOUR Hero]

LOL, not going to read that, but come on, he's a mental case a lot of the time, he's been stripped of his Dallas captaincy, etc. If that's supposed to = the best US hockey player ever, then shame on the writer of that story.

[YOUR Hero]

I decided to click it and read it. Can't read it because I'm not an SI subscriber. copy/paste it.

What I do get to see is that it mentions the captaincy thing. I'll bet the article talks simply about stats, and not much more.

[samichna]

Anybody see Bouchard's shootout goal versus Chicago Tuesday night? He did a spinarama and scored, and it was funny as it was against Dens Savard and the Blackhawks of all teams. Coolness.

It looked good, but it's kinda bullshit, cause he like rammed into Khabibulin before putting the puck in the net.

[samichna]

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/preview/siexclusive/2006/pr/subs/siexclusive/12/04/modano1211/?url=http%253A%252F%252Fpremium.si.cnn.com%252Fpr%252Fsubs2%252Fsiexclusive%252F2006%252Fpr%252Fsubs %252Fsiexclusive%252F12%252F04%252Fmodano1211%252F

Great story naming Mike Modano as the greatest US-born hockey player ever.

Pretty funny that they had to be sure to clarify "US-born", cause everybody knows he's got nothing on Brett Hull.

[Gertner]

pat lafontaine was the best u.s born player ever

[YOUR Hero]

there you go.

[YOUR Hero]

Joe Mullen, Brian Leetch, Chris Chelios, Joe Carpenter, the aforementioned Pat Lafontaine. All these guys were better than Modano. It's not all about scoring points. Shit, he's just a point a game guy anyway...

[YOUR Hero]

Phil Housley, fuck, he was more valuable at his peak than Modano as well.

[Gertner]

lol you mean bobby carpenter right?


btw i would put Tom Barassso and Mike Richter on the list if we are counting golaies

[YOUR Hero]

Bobby yeah.

I left off goalies, not sure I'd put them ahead of Modano, Richter maybe.

[samichna]

Yeah the Sabres are probably the fastest team in the NHL. I love watching them play.

ANYWAY, back to Selanne. I dunno why you guys seem so convinced that he has no chance of getting to 600 goals in his career.

Is it really out of the question?

Selanne has 17 goals in 32 games played. He is on pace to finish the season with 535 career goals instead of the 520 I predicted.

Anybody want to change their mind yet?

[Crippla]

Fucking Bruins lost 5-1 last night. What worries me is Thomas, I don't think he's consistent, he goes on streaks but that's it.

[samichna]

Thomas is pretty shit actually. He doesn't really have any business being a #1 goalie in the NHL.

[Crippla]

Yeah, that's my point. He's very streaky.

[Caged Heat18]

Fucking Bruins lost 5-1 last night. What worries me is Thomas, I don't think he's consistent, he goes on streaks but that's it.

My Devils beat them. Brodeur is really playing well, and Elias is starting to heat up and produce points like he is supposse to.

[Fignuts]

Devils sabres on Monday, CH.

[Caged Heat18]

Devils sabres on Monday, CH.

I think its Tuesday, but I'm looking foward to it. It will be interesting with the Sabres speed and the Devils defensive style, which one will prevail. The Sabres have been amazing all year, but the Devils are hot right now.

[MVP]

Yeah, that's my point. He's very streaky.

Yeah, but when he goes on a tear he makes some nasty saves.

[Crippla]

True but he's still not consistant enough.

[Linkbowler]

Blues fired Mike Kitchen, Andy Murray in as head coach.

[MVP]

Phil Kessel out with testicular cancer. :'(

http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news;_ylt=AnZ7i4MoPvj4nmY8BtCsyw17vLYF?slug=ap-bruins-kessel&prov=ap&type=lgns

What's up with Boston rookies getting cancer? First Lester now Kessel.

[Fignuts]

Not hot enough.

Sabres 3

Devils 2

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

holy hell, the leafs won. i can now end my boycott

[Supreme Olajuwon]

2007 Jack Adams Award winner - Ken Hitchcock

[Gertner]

lol i love the campaign to get rory fitzpatrick into the all star game. he's 5th in voting

Phil Kessel will pull through and be back

[MVP]

Kessel will be back Saku Koivu_style

I decided to click it and read it. Can't read it because I'm not an SI subscriber. copy/paste it.

What I do get to see is that it mentions the captaincy thing. I'll bet the article talks simply about stats, and not much more.

Sorry that I didn't get back to you sooner on this one. It does bring up the fact that he was stripped of his "C" and it's not only about the stats.

And I love the fact that CC tried to neg rep me for just posting the article in the first place. Wow.

[Joey Slugs]

lol i love the campaign to get rory fitzpatrick into the all star game. he's 5th in voting

They have a good thing going there.

[Joey Slugs]

It's so weird to see Bondra in a 'Hawks jersey now. I know he's not the same guy that played for the Caps (getting up there in age and all) but it's still good to have that true veteran presence.

[Gertner]

They have a good thing going there.

hahah scott nidermayer attack ad.



vote for Rory

[YOUR Hero]

Look at Turgeon in Colorado, he's been added to the team, he's played 4 games and has 3 goals and 1 assist. Now he won't become a 50 goal scorer again, but he's good for this NHL, just like I believe Bondra or Allison would be of value to teams.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

You know, the Washington Capitals are really missing out on a golden marketing opportunity with Alexander Semin. Try and tell me you wouldn't wear a "SeminNation" shirt.

[YOUR Hero]

write them a letter.

[YOUR Hero]

Crosby is making himself out to be the best player in the game bar none already. Awesome, hockey needs this. But not tonight, Sidney. The Habs are going to prevail over your marching penguins.

Also, the NHL fucked up by putting preconditions on the sale of the Pens. Now the deal to buy them has fallen through.

[samichna]

Yeah, the NHL is/was just so desperate in trying to guarantee the team staying in Pittsburgh that they lost out on a potentially great deal.

[YOUR Hero]

S worried about the Pittsburgh franchise, don't remember that much concern about Winnipeg or Quebec City

[Crippla]

I honestly don't give a shit about Pittsburgh and wouldn't care if they had no team.

[Crippla]

5-2 at the end of the 2nd.

[YOUR Hero]

Holy hell the Leafs are putting the boots to the Rangers. I thought the Canadiens were teaching the Pens a lesson tonight, well shit, it's 8-1 Leafs after 2 periods.

[Gertner]

9-2 Leafs, and the Leafs didn't even bother trying in the third. It could have easily have been 11 or 12-2

[samichna]

Weekes did play well in the third though.

[YOUR Hero]

Vancouver/Minnesota in game#2.

[Gertner]

Weekes did play well in the third though.


lol my boy belak played almost 8 minutes tonight. That says it all

I don't remember but seeing that must have been when I was in the green, I assume I was just negging you back. The article was irrelevant.

[Caged Heat18]

Rangers lost to the Devils 6-1 sunday night, meaning they have been outscored 15-3 in their last two games. The Devils looked good though, and finally scored some goals to help out Brodeur.

[Adder]

Rangers are a bit of a mess this year. They should be a rising power, but instead they are stagnant after making improvement last year. As good and valuable as Shanahan is, his arrival has messed up the team chemistry. Just look at Prucha for example. Here was a new young star, or so it would have appeared. Now that Shanny's there, this guy is relegated to line 3 or 4. No PP time, lack of playing time, etc. Not good. Stuff like that causes a ripple effect. This guy, in a different year could have been the RotY he had 30 (only 60+ games), 16 PP goals. - This year he's got 6 goals, he's being wasted.
Then there's Lundqvist. This guy was the toast of the Garden last year. In fact Weekes was booed when he was played in place of Lundqvist last year. Now, Lundqvist is butting heads with Rhenney about some cultural bullshit. If you don't know what I'm referring to, Lundqvist pulled himself out of a game and Rhenney said it was a weak character move (or something like that) by him. Lundqvist being a Swede, comes from a background where goalies do pull themselves when they don't feel they are doing a good job.

Good things for the Rangers they play in what is a weak division.

[Gertner]

Rangers have shit all for 3rd,4th lines

Hollweg, Ward, Orr, Hossa, Betts are NOT gonna provide any scoring

[Fenix122]

woo hoo....Islanders spanking the Rangers 4-2 thanks the Blake's hat trick.

[Fenix122]

now i'm getting nervous...4-3

[YOUR Hero]

Woo 5-2 Les Habitants.

Suck it Buffalo.

[MVP]

WOW we killed Ottawa tonight. Marco Sturm hat trick much?

What's up with the Bruins always owning Ottawa?

[Gertner]

god damn leafs

[YOUR Hero]

honest to god, I must have had some type of subliminal mental block causing me to dislike hockey or something. But ever since I came clean to myself about not being a #1 Canuck fan, I feel so mmuch better. I'm interested in watching hockey games again, everything about the sport just feels right again.

[MVP]

Good thing you weren't a Canucks fan tonight. Bruins shut them out 2-0 even though they had 39 shots on goal, and we played like garbage half way through the 2nd period. Thomas carried the team tonight.

MTL 47 points

Devils lose to Thrashers again. If the Thrashers get into the playoffs they can be real trouble for a lot of teams defenses.

[Gertner]

ugh, friggen leafs

[Skippord]

Avs on a roll

[Crippla]

Bruins beat the Canadians 4-2. Fuck yeah.

[BCWWF]

Looks like there is a chance Gaborik might not be back this season, which would suck.

[Caged Heat18]

^Thats a shame. He can never seem to play a whole season. I was liking the combination of him and Demitra too.

[Caged Heat18]

Devils shut down Crosby and the Penguins, and Brodeur earns his 85th career shut out to move into sole possesion on third place on the all time shut out list.

[Blitz]

Leafs pulled it out against the Wild tonight. Helluva game :y:

[YOUR Hero]

Loks like the Canucks/Flames game was a dandy.
Jarome is the man, even if he is a Flame.

[YOUR Hero]

These two are hooking up again tonight. 5-5 with less than a minute to play.

Pretty entertaining, if not frustrating to watch the Canucks blow 2, 2 goal leads.

You know what? There should be no points for overtime losses or shootout looses. As far as I'm concerned you win, you get points, you loose-no points.

[Caged Heat18]

You know what? There should be no points for overtime losses or shootout looses. As far as I'm concerned you win, you get points, you loose-no points.

:y: Completly agree.

[MVP]

The Bruins should make a move for Toskala or Nabakov. It's clear that either one of them can hold their own alone in San Jose. I just can't put together a decent trade for one of them.

Anyone else see the Leafs/Pens game? Leafs lost 4-1 (suprise), but Nils Ekman had a very gruesome looking arm injury. I can't find any updates on his status tho.

[LoDownM]

Damn it, I wanted to rub it in :(

[Caged Heat18]

Devils/Rangers came tonight was very good. Lundquist and Brodeur were on tonight, and the shootout went about eight rounds before the Rangers finally won.

[YOUR Hero]

Heatley is killing the Sabres tonight, he's got 3 goals so far. 1 SH, 1 Even stretgth and now ! on the PP.
4-0 Senators over Buffalo so far

[Zelda]

I'm really glad to see the way the Canadiens are doing this year, makes me want to watch as many games as possible.

I also heard that a couple of journalists are on Theodore's case in Colorado. I'm so happy I don't have to hear about all of his stories again.

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Good job Channel 5 decided to show that one here, eh Fignuts? :)

[Lara Emily]

Sens got Mike Comrie from Phx in exchange for Alexi Kaigorodov, Comrie made it to Ottawa in time to have his physical and be put on the roster and then he suited up and got 2 assists as the Sens trounce the Sabres 6-3 (Sabres last 2 goals came way late in the game)

[Caged Heat18]

I like Comrie in Ottawa. Once Spezza comes back, he can be a solid second line center.

[YOUR Hero]

Comrie looked pretty good. One game does not make a player.

Hey. Kansas City made a sweetheart deal to Pittsburgh about moving the Penguins there.

Honest to god, where is Winnipeg in all this!?

[LoDownM]

KC is the only place I can think of, that wouldn't piss me off if they moved.

[YOUR Hero]

Um, Winnipeg?

[LoDownM]

Fuck Canada.

[Blitz]

K so Toronto dominated Boston tonight, but anyone see the end of Dallas/Edmonton? Pure insanity, right thurrr.

[YOUR Hero]

Fuck Canada.

CALM DOWN HERO! I don't think your heart could take it.

There is a back story to why I said that, but that's not relavant to NHL.

[Zelda]

Five Habs players are not going to play today because of a gastroenteritis epidemy.

[Zelda]

Two of them are playing after all, because we did not have enough players.

[YOUR Hero]

Typical of the Canucks. I swear them off and they win 5 in a row.

[MVP]

Bruins finally win one, against the worst team in hockey no doubt.

[Crippla]

Yeah, they're probably gonna be up and down all year.

[Gimmick]

I find it hard to believe Martin Brodeur has only won 2 Vezina's in his career.

[Caged Heat18]

He definetely has a great chance of winning his third this year. He's having a tremendous year.

[Gimmick]

Yeah. But I think people overlook him because they know he's going to always be good and give out the award to someone else.

[MVP]

I'm thinking up to this point, Brodeur has the edge over Giguere and Hasek for it.

[YOUR Hero]

Brodeur got his 7th shutout of the year today. I think that puts him 3 ahead of anyone else. At this point he should be #1 contender for the Vezina

[Caged Heat18]

Pretty good Avalanche/Red Wings game tonight. Zetterberg pulled off the Forsberg move in the shootout. The move is incredible.

[CNM]

Budaj played his ass off. Too bad the rest of the team didn't.

[Caged Heat18]

They announced the starting all stars today.

Western conference:
Goalie: Robert Luongo
Defensemen: Scott Neidermayer and Nicklas
Fowards: Joe Sakic, Joe Thornton, Jonathon Cheechoo

Eastern conference:
Goalie: Ryan Miller
Defensemen: Brian Campbell, Sheldon Souray
Fowards: Daniel Briere, Alexander Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby

[CNM]

Super Joe :love:

[Blitz]

Crosby/Briere/Ovechkin :y:

[Blitz]

And Datsyuk's goal>Zetterberg's.

[LoDownM]

Datsyuk's goal tonight was amazing.

[MVP]

Kinda surprised Brodeur and Hasek aren't the two starting goalies in the all-star game. Also surprised Campbell is starting D for the east instead of Kaberle or McCabe. That's fan voting for you.

[Caged Heat18]

Martin Brodeur continues his great season with his eight shutout of the season in a 1-0 win against the Rangers. At this point he should win the Vezna and even be in consideration for the Hart.

[MVP]

Half the nuts, twice the heart

Kessel :love:

[Gertner]

Kinda surprised Brodeur and Hasek aren't the two starting goalies in the all-star game. Also surprised Campbell is starting D for the east instead of Kaberle or McCabe. That's fan voting for you.

McCabe is awful.


Campbell has been fantastic this year.

and i'm a die hard leaf fan

[Blitz]

Yeah McCabe has been trash. Glad Kaberle made it tho.

[MVP]

Oh so Kaberle did make it. I jumped to conclusions that he wasn't on the team cause he's not starting.

[Caged Heat18]

Zach Parise was the Youngstars game MVP with six points. Not that it means much, but that was a bit of a suprise.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Sabres can't hang with the Blue Jackets son

[YOUR Hero]

Sabres are in a bit of a funk these days. Same as the Ducks. I believe it's more than just injuries. I'm usually always right, 60% of the time.

[YOUR Hero]

Leafs/Canadiens WOOOOOOO

easy win for the Habs

[Fignuts]

GOD FUCKING MOTHER FUCKING DAMN IT! THE ISLANDER?!!!? THE FUCKING ISLANDERS?!?! THE ISLANDERS SPEND MORE TIME PROBING EACHOTHER'S ASSES WITH THEIR STICKS LIKE CURIOUS MONKEYS THAN THEY DO PLAYING HOCKEY!!! COME THE FUCK ON!!!

AND WHERE THE FUCK DID NASHVILLE COME FROM!?!? GREAT ODIN'S FUCKING RAVEN!!!

[Blitz]

Nashville has been pretty good for a couple of years now. They are my 2nd favourite team. Sullivan + Kariya FTW.

Also, HAHAHA YOUR HERO 4-1 HOW'S THAT SHIT FEEL????????????

How come I couldn't have made that modship vs ban bet this week :'(

[Gertner]

Leafs/Canadiens WOOOOOOO

easy win for the Habs

you were saying???????


Leafs have owned the Habs all year

[weather vane]

Bruins have been playing like shit recently. SO BAD.

Look for Brad Stuart and Brad Boyes to be moved before the trade deadline.

[Skippord]

Should I buy this jersey: http://www.coolhockey.com/enlarge_popup.php?image=uploaded/phpyRHk6w.jpg

[Blitz]

Leafs are on a tear: 2 in a row :D

[Caged Heat18]

The Devils finally get some offense and score four goals on one of the rare nights they give up a lot of goals, which was four the the Thrashers, and lose in the shootout.

[Splaya]

The latest rumor has Forsberg going to either Anaheim or Detroit.


WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Blitz]

...where he'll play 2 games before re-injuring himself.

[Gertner]

leafs win again:)

[Blitz]

My friend is going to the Leafs/Sens game Saturday. Lucky :(

[MVP]

Holmqvist pwned Carolina tonight with a 4-0 shutout. No surprise Carolina had John Grahame in net LOL

[samichna]

go leafs go

[Caged Heat18]

The Rangers aquire Avery from the Kings. I guess this is a way to get tougher as a team and protect anyone who messes with Jagr. The Rangers are really slumping as of late, and they need something to help them, but I don't think this is it.

[MVP]

The Rangers are on Cloud 9 compared to the Bruins slump.

[Gertner]

they already have colton orr and ryan hollweg. Avery has more skill. I think this improves their 3rd and 4th lines more than it adds toughness

[Caged Heat18]

He played second line last night in his debut and picked up an assist. He definetely has more skill, and brings the toughness with it.

[Gertner]

not too sure if Avery belongs on the 2nd line

[Caged Heat18]

Yeah I don't think he does either, but thats where he played last night. We'll see if that changes, but I suspect that with his good game last night he'll stay there for the time being, and than eventually be moved back to the third line.

[LoDownM]

The Pens are 8-0-2 in their last 10 :cool:

[YOUR Hero]

If the Pens make the playoffs, Sid the Kid is the MVP. He might be regardless, but I think the Pens making the playoffs cinch it.

[Caged Heat18]

I know I'm probably biased being a Devils fan, but Brodeur should get a strong consideration for MVP. He leads the league in shutouts, wins, and is second or third in GAA and save percentage. Without him the Devils are nothing, so he shouldn't be overlooked.

[Gertner]

if the caps somehow get into the playoffs than ovechkin should get it over crosby

[YOUR Hero]

All players mentioned have strong cases. Luongo in Vancouver as well. Pronger in Anaheim too I'd say, but his injury and time off might knock him out of the running.

[LoDownM]

I'm so happy right now :D

[Gertner]

lol happy that you blew a 3 goal lead?

[LoDownM]

I didn't even know they played today, im talking about possible making the playoffs tool.

Like no other team has blown a 3 goal lead, give me a fucking break. Even if they blew and 3 goal lead, oh, they still fucking won.

[Gertner]

a 3 goal lead in the 2nd period.

[Blitz]

One helluva game.

[Splaya]

Yeah Wings really showed the Flyers tonight :(

[Gertner]

wings need toughness badly

[YOUR Hero]

Philly looked fast last night. Don't know if this is a turn around for them or just a one game thing.

[Gertner]

Belak's gonna break out of his goal slump tonight. i can feel it :)

[Blitz]

So, couple of weeks from the trade deadline. Who's everyone think is gonna take Forsberg?

I say Detroit.

[Splaya]

So, couple of weeks from the trade deadline. Who's everyone think is gonna take Forsberg?

I say Detroit.

I'm praying

[Gertner]

not gonna happen. detroit won't trade kindl and they really don't have any other prospects

[MVP]

Supposedly the Oilers are gonna see how Ryan Smyth fares on their road trip, and may trade him if he doesn't do so well. Not sure how smart of a move that would be considering he is the face of the franchise, and the flat out best player on that team. They'd better get a team leader for him, and not something like the Thornton trade last year.

[weather vane]

We need a huge win here tonight. Would put us 6 points out and keep our streak going. Huge roll right now ... keep it up Bruins.

[Blitz]

Forsberg is a scratch against the Leafs tonight. Rumour is Forsberg to Nashville for Scott Upshall, Ryan Parent and a couple of draft picks.

Would be an amazing trade for the Preds. Sullivan, Kariya, Forsberg= :drool:

[Blitz]

Seems to be confirmed. Upshall, Parent, 1st round pic, and 3rd round pick for Forsberg.
