How have I been classless? I said Cooke is dirty, I said his hit on Savard was intentional and cheap (but it wasn't illegal at the time), I said Crosby's nutcracker fight was dirty.

There are plenty of illegal hits that never gets called or punished afterwards.

You are trying to justify a Matt Cooke shoulder to the head as OK because it was "legal" even though he was obviously trying to knock the guy out, which he did. You are also trying to act as if Sidney Crosby is not a gigantic faggot. You realize Pittsburgh fans are the only people who do this right?

I said it was cheap doesn't change the fact that at the time he couldn't and shouldn't have gotten suspended for it because it was a technically a legal hit.

Btw you call me classless and then call Crosby a homophobic gay slur? Really?

how about you are all fags? go fuck yourself

go bruins go

The one dude I think would be most pissed at Cooke doesn't say a word...

I love the debate. How can anyone defend Cooke on that. Semantics aside, other hits aside, he is a scum.

I remember Crosby stating once that a penalty called 10 seconds in is bullshit.

What I would have given to play him next game and Bertuzzi him 5 seconds in

LOL that's fucking ridiculous that you;d basically want to see one of the best players in the NHL get his neck broken.

In other News Forsberg is Done again

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=353836

Was just about to post that.

I wouldnt kill him, I mean would he say anything if I took a penalty 5 seconds in or would that be bullshit as well.

Why is he hanging it up so soon, and why did he even try to come back?

Kinda disappointing. He only played a couple games :(

He's been trying to come back to playing hockey multiple times since the post-lockout but he either gets hurt (ex. groin injury) or his foot starts to get really bad pains and can't continue to skate.

The article says the foot has been giving him problems since 2003 but also manages to get better after some time off the ice which makes him think he's healed every time he wants to return to the ice.

Well that sucks, wish I could watch him play like he used to :(

Verteeg to the Flyers. Know some people thought he was a waste of money for the Leafs, wanna say FA.

That was me yes.

I said TML was stupid for trading Stalberg for him.

fuck Matt Cooke

Ive given out too uch rep in last 24 blah blah blah.

Hows that 5 year plan working out Burkey?... considering he dealt two of the guys he brought in to "improve the team"

I'm digging Toronto with a 1st rounder though, granted it'll be 29th or 30th

If I was burke, I would have went with 2nd, 4th and 7th.

As Phillys second and fourth are only a few slots apart from 1st and 3rd. The 7th may be a throwaway, but it could turn into a decent player like Hornqvist.

lol@colorado last night, 9-1 calgary!

lol I was on board with that too.

I've never liked Versteeg and glad Toronto got a 1st for him before he was exposed for what he is: a defensive liability who only put up points because Chicago has great players around him.

Yeah, Burke working magic this past week.

It IS a weak draft, but nonetheless, excellent work.

Oh and Kabs is being shopped hard, rumor has it Burkey wants his 2011 Pick back and names Marchand, Wheeler, Caron are in trade talks.

Fuck, Neil got hit in the throat with the puck...

Kessel!!! Leafs have officially won the Kessel trade.

Will the puck get suspended for a headshot?

That was kinda funny.

Disappointed that Forsberg had to retire AGAIN.

He's almost got Brett Favre beat.

The pick will not go back to Toronto... also Marchand is not going anywhere.

He never retired before, he just played in Europe for a few years.

Rumours, just rumours.

Hella good shootout last night in Montreal.

Islanders got a well deserved win, Grabner looks like a steal.

Oh, and Grabovski is amazing.

McArthur...

Not as amazing as Grabo, but pretty damn good. I HATED Grabovski coming into the year but the guy has literally improved on all areas of his game. Even his face offs which used to be a disaster.

Hot to pick up chicks.

Find a couple of girls wearing Leafs jerseys, tell them your name is Threeoh Lead and watch as they clamber over themselves to blow you.

This might be the funniest thing I have ever seen.

TYLER KENNEDY <3!

Leafs! Another win for Optimus Reim!

The Ottawa Senators have acquired goaltender Craig Anderson from the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for netminder Brian Elliott.

Wow, I wonder how thats going to turn out.

Elliot is awful.

Leafs deal Kaberle to Boston for Colburne, Boston's 1st and a conditional pick.

Very happy with this return. An actual center prospect on Toronto.

Boston wins cup. Spilchuk explodes.

Looking forward to next season, how about you guys?

Thought it was a rumor still?

GODDAMN!

lol, no way that's true.

My buddy is laughing his ass off, he sent it via msn.

Cunt.

bruinsssssssss

Boston Bruins made another big deal sending forward Blake Wheeler and defenceman Mark Stuart to the Atlanta Thrashers in exchange for centre Rich Peverley and defenceman Boris Valabik.

WOOOOOOOO SALARY DUMP!

Lol Boris Valabik. Christ is he terrible in every which way.

He's great at getting punched in the balls

This post is 100% false, you wrote it

No actually, you are wrong.

Really he sent you [QUOTE=Associated Press] over MSN

I quoted it moron.

Quoted what

Jesus christ, are you thick?

What are you trying to say

Oh my god, a friend sent that to me as an msn message. I copied the message and then wrapped it in quote tags.

Is it that fucking hard to understand?

So you claim

*facepalm*

Did Brian Burke blackmail everyone in the league? Jesus. 2 excellent trades in a row for Moronto.

I bet they waste both 1st rounders on career AHLers like usual though.

Bruins start their 6 game road trip (5 in Canada) with 2 wins but the amazing part is how the defense and Rask is playing great when the week before Bruins lost 3 in a row while giving up a ton of goals (regular and PP).

The trade involving Wheeler has been in the making for maybe a year or two since the Bruins wanted to trade him last year but no good offers.

Stuart unfortunately barely played much this year due to injury and then had the misfortune of his replacement and rookies playing soo well that he lost his spot. Bruins had no choice but to trade him while he still had some value.

Sport Select Picks ( Saturday Feb. 19)
 

Anaheim To Win (Over 5.5)
Phoenix To Win
Vancouver To Win(Over 5.5)
San Jose To Win


Thoughts?

I say the opposite.

Rosehill and Lessard just had an insane fight.

Whooooooooo

James Neal and Matt Niskanen to the Penguins in exchange for just Alex Goligoski

Fucking sweet deal for the Pens

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=354819

Dallas needs a PP quarterback far worse then a goal scoring forward. Nice trade for both.

Watch Neal fall flat on his face though. Such is the life of a winger on Pittsburgh.

Nicklas Lidstrom

I was just looking over his stats

It seems that 38 points (a good total for a defenseman to begin with) was his career (95% of season or more)low.

My god, look at this. Its insane.
http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/players/...wHXLImC.livLYF

So Leafs are shopping for a solid D-Man eh?

Who do they have left to deal with though? Burke said Schenn is not on the trade block, but he's said shit like that before.

Is Clarke McCarthur a one-season pony? Get something for him while the getting is good?

Trade Kessel for Tyler Seguin?

I think the league sees Kessel as damaged goods.... which is sad, just needs a decent playmaker...

:rofl: no way the Bruins would do that trade although they've done questionable and dumb trades in the past.

I think Sequin is averaging a point (either as a goal or an assist) once every 2-3 games he plays which is great compared to them thinking his first year would be minimal NHL play but pure development.

Bruins still have Toronto's 1st round pick (potential 5-10 range) since all they gave up was their own 1st round pick (potential 23-30 range) in the last trade.

Leafs have apparently been in talks for J.M Liles, but Colorado's asking price is ridiculous.

Seguin has 10 goals and 11 assists in 55 games.

One good year warrants a high price? Christ talk to Phoenix. They have Aucoin, Yandle, Jovocop, Ekman-Larssen and Im sure they could trade one of them.

22/55 = 0.4

Which means...a goal or assist...every 2 or 3 games...

Not saying thats great, its decent. But in short, Meatnuts was right.

.Edit>

FA LOL Wrong Forum dude. I'm waiting on Damian to cut a promo on Crosby now or something lol

Thats where that fucking promo went. I knew I posted it.

Wow, Tampa up 7-0 and not even half done.

Vinny has 1G 4A already.

So much for 9 in a row.

When Tampa is on, man are they tough. They just need a bit more grit and they are pretty dangerous.

If Tampa is on a hot streak come playoff time...they win the east.

Imagine if Gagne gets going...

Philadelphia is beast though.

Not with that goaltending.

Depends if Bobkov is on a contract year or not.

Everyone should know Russians play there best hockey during the year of contract negotiations.

Goaltending is also Tampa's biggest issue...but come playoffs, I'll take Roloson over Bobkov.

Philly has a great team, but I personally think they're overachieving. As far as the playoffs in the East go, I'd take Boston, Tampa or a healthy Penguins over the Flyers any day.

DOn't worry about a healthy Pens team anytime soon, Orpik just went down.

So that's

Crosby
Malkin
Kunitz
Letestu
Jeffery
Asham
Orpik
Martin
Nick Johnson
Tangradi
Comrie

All out due to injuries

+ Godard out cause of suspension

Malkin is done for the year, I'm quite scared Crosby won't be back, Staal is fucking worthless

Staal has been worthless eh?

Thats been the biggest shock to me. I've always thought he was under used with the Pens. He is way better than a 3rd line center/PK'er...and all he needed was the chance to show his true worth. He's had that chance, and hasn't really done much with it.

I mean...I havent watched every Pens game...but from what I have seen, Jordan is looking like the 3rd wheel in the brotherly triangle.

Mind you, Jordan is facing the same issue as Crosby and Malkin....no decent wingers...

He had James Neal tonight, Neal was a fucking beast all night but Staal still sucked lol.


I wish they Pens would shop him, the Hockey Media is so in love with that dude that I figure some GM would be stupid enough to buy the hype and pay big. I mean fuck Shero was able to get James Neal and Niskanen for Goligoski (Niskanen's not much right now but he's still young and Neal is a fucking beast)

I'd prefer the Pens shop Malkin...they'd get a better return. Jordan is more of a Jere Lehetin type player, cant really compare him to Eric Staal. He'd fit in on the 2nd line, can kill opposing teams PPs. He's not a #1 guy, or #1 center...maybe he would be on the Leafs or whatever other bottom feeders, but on a contending team he will due on the 2nd line, and is perfect for the 3rd line. Hardly "fucking worthless"

Nah fuck that any Malkin trade is a loss cause you're giving up the best player. Pens had best PK without Staal in the lineup and like I said he has an unearned reputation of being a good player, so I think you could get a team to give a decent return.

BRUINS

Kovalev is a Penguin again.

Welcome to my world last year with the Red Wings
