Bitch please.

At least your team is NEAR the top half. Christ that was strange to say.

Strange to hear too. I suppose if we're gonna get shelled, at least it's by an amazing team who always fucks us up.

HAWWWWWWWKS

Strange, I don't remember RP being a Hawks fan when I signed up. Did you only get into hockey recently.

Isn't meant as a knock or anything, always welcome new fans to the game if that's the case.

Three or four years ago

I've been repping Blackhawks in NHL thread for like three years.

I've been here around six, so I was right I guess. What caused you to start?

Went to Hawks v Canucks playoff game in Chicago the year they won the Cup

That was two years ago bud. Lol.

Righttttt

I went to a playoff game two years ago.

Rightt

While we are on the subject, who is your favorite team now FA, you know, now that the Canadians are the 3rd worse team in the league.

Probably St.Louis

Cute.

Nice win by the Bs over the Kings but wow at the Sens scoring 8 against the Penguins.

Bruins lead on the #2 spot is still 3 points over Florida and 3 points over Senators in the division.

Always forget that the Kings rally mascot is Cartman but laughed a bunch of times his voice spoke on tv.

Still find it hard to believe Sens and Florida are going to the playoffs likely.

Means Toronto is the only team to not make the playoffs post lockout.

Yeah even the shitty Thrashers who then became the Jets managed to make it at least once. Then again it was the only season the Thrashers were actually any good and only time they've been to the playoffs.

This season is a possibility though. Its crazy how Florida is a bunch of spare parts with good chemistry.

One of the most important assets to teams now are ticket agencies. They buy the tickets from the Team and then sell them.

Teams get the money from the ticket revenue and then can claim they sold out even if they just dumped their tickets to Stubhub.

Anyone else surprised by Adam Larssons lack of impact this year? He was heralded as the next Lidstrom by some and I don't see it at all.

I think we should all have a nice chat about how incredible Gabriel Landeskog is you guys.

I have been a big supporter of him all season. Traded the farm for 2nd overall in last years prospect draft in a fantasy league for him and was laughed at by the same guy who offered Marleau for him.

Fuck no, bitch.

since he's about the same age as me I'd like to find a way to hang out with him

comes off as a little gay probably

Duchene better be careful, he might end up getting traded if he can't stay healthy and if O'Reilly and Landeskog keep playing like they are this year over the next few.

O'Reilly is severely underrated, though if anyone gets trades id say its stastny.

Really needed to win that game in regulation. At least we got 2 points.

I don't think I know enough about other hockey teams/players to say this with authority, but I was shocked that Ryan O'Reilly didn't make the all star game.

Like I said, vastly underrated. He is the sort of player like Ryan Kesler who is sick but held down by playing on a line lower then his skill set says he should.

I wouldn't say kesler is held down, he gets a tonne of ice time and plays with very good line mates.

Don't get me wrong, I love the guy but he is held down by Henrik as much as Duchene and Stastny do to O'Reilly.

well O'Reilly's line plays a lot more than Duchene's and Stastny's at this point

Wasn't aware of that, haven't watched the Avs in ever. Feels like their games never get broadcast here.

Get Center Ice. Or whatever the Canadian equivalent is.

yeah Landeskog-O'Reilly-Downie has become their top line

I paid for it once but never felt like I watched enough games to make it worth it.

Kinda crazy that the vet on that line is Downie lol.

I nearly ordered a Marcus Foligno jersey after only like 8 NHL games. Fucking love him.

Malkin is winning the Hart Trophy this year. I'm sure you could argue Stamkos, but come on, his 53 goals doesn't have the Lighting in the playoffs this year.

Totally agree with you there. Though there are a few strong cases that could be made for Lundqvist and perhaps Rinne.

Anyway, I came in here to ask. Who is your favorite player NOT on the team you root for.

As you all have likely heard, my favorite is Getzlaf, so Ill go with Iggy to share.

Nice 5-2 win by the Bs over Tampa who usually is one of the tougher teams against the Bs.

Wow at Capitals loosing 5-1 in a game they needed to win to keep 8th but Buffalo has been really great the last couple of weeks.

Florida struggling now pads the Bs lead on #2 seed by 6 points while the division is a 5 point lead over Ottawa.
