Scary about Rich Peverly.

He's stable now. So, at least there's that.

The first thing he asked when he woke up was how much time was left in the period. Great player.

Lol @ the Leafs. Still don't know how they keep doing it.

Lol so great. David Leggio of the AHL Hershey Bears does a dead-on Pierre McGuire impression.

Islanders in the process of finding a new majority owner.

Blackhawks are fucking up.

:y: Bs clinched #1 seed in the East

Canucks fired their GM today

Well, I was right...the Leafs are out of the playoffs...couldn't make it in on an 82-game schedule...sad for the NHL that only 1 CDN franchise made the playoffs...all 7 should be in, in 7 different series, not 1.

7 teams in one series would be intense.

Basically all the Canadian teams should have to play to earn the right to play the American teams

*slaps you for being dumb*

Here's an example of what I meant. The type of NHL playoff scenario I'd like.

Round of 16

Eastern Conference

CBJ V. NJ
TOR V. FLA
MTL V. PHI
OTT V. BUF

Western Conference

WPG V.MIN
CGY V. DAL
EDM V. STL
VAN V. COL

Conf. Semi-Finals

East

TOR V. CBJ
OTT V. MTL

West

WPG V. VAN
CGY V. EDM

Conf. Finals

East

TOR V. MTL

West

WPG V. EDM

Stanley Cup Final

TOR V. WPG

Stanley Cup Champion

Toronto Maple Leafs

That's the gist of what I meant. All 7 CDN teams make the playoffs. All 7 play in 7 of the 8 available 1st Round series. All 7 win their Round 1 series. And the last U.S. NHL team is eliminated in the Conf. Semi Final round, leaving the rest of the playoffs to air only in Canada, with no more playoff hockey, for the last 5 weeks of the season, on U.S. TV, ad money from U.S. advertisers be damned.

Does this spell it all out for you now, Dave?

I know you're a bored person, but please do try and keep up.

=P

Why the fuck should that be a thing?

Listen I was trying to give you props for an innovative idea. I mean in our defense we only really notice the NHL come playoff time and well with only 1 little Canadian team in it, it's hard for us to even know you still have any teams besides the one that wears our colors.

Love Ronic posts by the way, true TPWW treasures.

Ronic doesn't understand that the NHL is a meritocracy that rewards the American teams for not being located in terrible places like Canada or the south

Ronic is probably the best hockey poster in the forums. Show him some respect!

Presidents Trophy! Barley watched a game this season though. Good job Bruins.

Gotta beat the Wings. Not going to be easy.

Fuck I want the Bruins to beat the shit out of the sissy Red Wings

Holy shit this Blackhawks game

Suck it philly

:-\ Bs lost yesterday.

:D Bs win Game 3.

:love: Iggy. Bs win

I'm afraid of got some BAD NEWS for the Detroit RedWings.

The puck went off your shin DeKeyser and into the goal causing your team to lose in Overtime. Your team now faces an elimination game in Boston and come on son you guys are done.

But I've got some GOOD news. If this was soccer you'd already have been brutally beaten by your fans and/or soccer hooligans and organized crime families!

Thank you very much!

Red Wings done, Habs up next.

Ducks fly together and eliminate the Dallas Stars.

Bruins.

Can't stand Marchand but Bruins might be the best team in the league. Would love to see Iggy hoist a Cup

Sharks making me mad. Flyers making me sad. Losing hope for my PHI-SJ final.

Why won't Minnesota just lose already? They're inching closer to making me a very sad panda.

Sorry bro.

Somebody in San Jose is getting fired for this.

<font color=goldenrod>The Sharks should probably just fold.</font>

So much for my Flyers/Sharks final :(

Hate hockey.

Heart.Broken.Again.

Best rivalry in sports starts tonight. Let's fucking go Bruins.

Carey Price is unreal right now and the Bruins CANNOT get a bounce.

WHOOOOOOO

SUCK IT HABS!

:D Bs

Best feeling I have ever felt was that comeback. Like cumming for 7 minutes. Still smiling.

I'll be in Montreal for Games 3/4!!!!!

Ain't nobody talking shit about them Blackhawks now.

2 Straight Playoff Shutouts by Fleury. Most Skitzo Goalie in Hockey History lol

Still not over it.

:D Bruins. Called up Matt Fraser from Providence today and he ended up with the game winner.

Bruins win the Perfect Game of Hockey 1-0. Re-take Home Ice Advantage.

Canada's last team down 3-0 in the 2nd in game 5. Hell yeah.

Usually not one to say stuff like this but if Pens lose after having a 3-1 lead in this series, Bylsma has to be gone. Like the guy but just can't keep having these playoff collapses.

FML. That was awful.

Yeah Bs played just as bad as they did in Game 3 at Montreal.

Just have to say fuck this new playoff seeding shit.

So many opportunities to score. They'll bring it home and win it in game 7.

I should have been posting here during the playoffs...

Anyway, WOW!!! Unreal how the Rangers came back from being down 3-1 in the series to defeat the Pens in game 7.

:-\ Bs eliminated.

Refs you did know you were in Boston right? Shit. That was rough.

https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/...50947961_n.jpg

Take this, you piece of shit Boston Booins fans.

> = )

Feel a little let down by that post. Was expecting more bile and righteous indignation. 6/10

some chick just won my office pool bc everyone was riding Bruins' nuts. hate when girls win @ sports betting

Penguins fired their GM today with the coach possibly being next.

I thought Bylsma was let go as well already

oh he will be. he will be.

love how this Lucic thing is a story. hockey world is so uptight

because it is so white.

Doomsday for the Kings and Ducks tonight, which the Kings have survived, though ending ANA's Teemu Selanne's career. Good run, Teemu, Hall of Fame awaits you.

Rangers look so damn good right now and the Kings are peaking with some serious experience. I love this rivalry forming between the Hawks and Kings. Me and my Blackhawk friends wanted the Kings to win. We didn't want to be apart of Getlaf and Perry getting red hot and storming our ice.

Rangers vs Kings would be a horrible final

Price is out for the series.

If the Habs blow this, wait, I hope the Habs blow this so all of the Bell Centre cries there French asses home.

I can't believe the Habs are nearly at even games. I thought they were hooped without Price.

One Kings victory to secure a horrible final.

So...Canada now has to put up with a 20th straight season with no Cup parade down a Canadian city streets.

Well, to all you fans of the 23 U.S. NHL clubs, fans of Gary Fagman, and the NHL on NBC can all go fuck yourselves.

I'm fed up with U.S. NHL control fucking over Canada's NHL clubs all the time.

All of you who cheer the 23 U.S. NHL clubs, regardless of where you live, can kiss my fucking ass. I won't be happy until I get what I want to see..Bettman resignation, NBC no longer getting any say in NHL Creative, and someone BORN AND MADE IN CANADA being the NHL Commissioner/President.

As far as I care, the Cup Championship is vacant, until the U.S. 2-decade unbeaten run stops.

I don't care who wins what now, and the U.S. can take whatever it thinks is right for Canadian professional sports, and shove it straight up their candy-asses. FUCK. YOU!

I'm also not interested in all of the horseshit lies that will be told by anyone who happens to support the status quo in the NHL. We in Canada shouldn't have to pander to the U.S. to have something cool.

To me, Canada's NHL clubs are treated as slaves to the ones in the U.S. HOW DARE THAT TYPE OF TREATMENT CONTINUE?!

In closing, suck my dick, you U.S. NHL fuckwads.

>8-(

lol dis guy.

Lol Ronic... If joking hilarious. If serious the worst.

Spilchuk, when I talk NHL, it's not ever...NOT EVER...with a sense of humour nor good will to the U.S. NHL clubs.

I mean everything I say about them, for it is their punishment from me for behaving like dictators to VAN, CGY, EDM, WPG, TOR, OTT, and MTL. Telling those clubs what to do, how to do it, and how to vote in Board of Governor's meetings.

If I were the 7 above-named clubs, I'd just walk away from all participation in BOG talks and meetings until a Commissioner came along that made a level playing field for Canada's pro hockey clubs. One where, for example, a Crosby-esque player could play for a Canadian pro team, and carry them to a title, instead of VAN, CGY, EDM, WPG, TOR, OTT, and MTL being treated as fucking junior clubs, like the teams in the real junior hockey league, the Canadian Hockey League.

Gary Fagman is under the impression that once he takes something out of Canada, the Canadian NHL clubs would be contracted out of the league for trying to get it back. It shows that the NHL is far more broken and corrupt than the NBA, except Gary, being a risk-averse(what I call cheap) fuck, knows how to spin a phrase around.

I will not be happy until he is out of the league, and the Commish after him is NOT a clone of him, carrying on Gary's business plan long after Fagman's dead.

Gary's ideas do NOT work for Canada, only work for the U.S. Dollar, the most hypocritical and sanctimonious currency on this planet, and are anti-trust in design. How those here can be fans of U.S. NHL clubs, under HIS administration, and knowing full well that Canada's NHL clubs aren't permitted any voice of protest, is beyond me.

And no, what I say about the NHL isn't empty rhetoric. It's the truth...it's a truth I've studied for years, while watching Fagman's body language, and seeing him be discomforted when he's not in control.

It pisses me off to no fucking end to see it either, and makes me beg for someone to take a swing at his jaw, smash it, and break his composure. That way, you can see Gary finally reveal himself for what he is...a contempt-driven shit, only out for his own personal bank account, lined with the money Canada's NHL clubs pay into the league, which is more than what the U.S. clubs pay.

In short, I'm telling those here...DON'T agree with Fagman, DON'T listen to him, and DON'T take shots at Canadian pro hockey anymore. I'm fed up with anti-Canada sentiment here, and want it to die within the whole world of hockey.

Fuck Fagman, Fuck the U.S. NHL clubs, and Fuck the NHL on NBC.

>=(

hilarious

I'm Canadian and celebrate every time the Leafs lose

I'm Canadian and I celebrate every time the Habs lose.

So I was celebrating last night.

Ronic is bang on as usual.

Gary BUTTman just doesn't want Canadian teams to win. You could see that he spoke to the refs before the Rangers/Habs game and told them not to call penalties on New York.

Fucking this league is.

Should call it the National HACK League

How can you justify a player who has played for American teams making the hall of fame?

Gary FAGman clearly using everything in his powers for the big Los Angeles market vs New York market final

<font color=goldenrod>If the Kings win the Cup, the Sharks are to blame.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Should be a pretty hot Stanley Cup. Love both goalies.</font>

Loco overtime...

Really great Game 5 and series overall.

<font color=goldenrod>What a crazy game. And what a run by the Kings. Much deserved.</font>

NHL 2014 Offseason Thread

I actually have this card. 1990 ProSet. ProSet was the shit, before Upper Deck became huge in 1991. :y:

Woo! NHL15 Will Keep Calm and Bergeron.

Canucks-Ducks trade:

Canucks got Nick Bonino, Luca Sbisa, the Ducks #24 and #85 pick in this year's draft while the Ducks got Ryan Kesler and the Canucks 2015 3rd Round pick.

That Panthers roster for this season. Holy shit.
