The NHL Thread

[Spudboy]

That's something like 12 of the last 13 games they have played that the Habs have won.

 

The Bruins are jinxed.

[mvp 78]

Not jinxed. Bruins are horrible this year. Only two decent defensemen. 3rd and 4th lines should be in Providence.

I was just commenting on the record vs Montreal.

 

I don't follow the Bruin, really.

[Northern Star]

I could have sworn the Bruins fired Julien already, but I guess not.

Defense is lousy - and the management does not want to play more "trap" even though that's probably the only way the team can compete ... Julien should be axed out of mercy

 

Saddest thing of them all is the realization that the B's essentially traded Phil Kessel for Loui Eriksson when all the carnage is added up.

16 GA in 3 games, and I imagined it was largely the D leaving Rusk out to dry.

[Northern Star]

Bruins' winter classic jerseys not looking so hot.

[Northern Star]

Yahoo seriously sucks so much, I have to stop reading their articles.

 

Headline: Raanta gets shutout, hot Rangers rout Coyotes 4-1

[Northern Star]

NHL expansion is such a bad idea. Instead of giving Canada more teams, they'll be hellbent on bringing hockey to more subprime American markets who don't really want it - Las Vegas, eg.

[Dojji]

Have you seen the Canadian dollar lately? Last time it was this bad the Jets and the Nordiques didn't survive and the Oilers barely survived. Canada is not competitive right now, won't be until their dollar comes back. I'd be willing to be that a lot of Canadian owners are subsidizing their franchises right now to cover payroll, which is tied to the US dollar because the NHL is technically run out the US

True. I just mean from the pov of interest in the game, there's no comparison between Canada and non-traditional American markets. I realize they have to make it pay.

[Northern Star]

John Scott should have missed this All Star Game for one simple reason. He should have been run out of the league years ago.

[Northern Star]

Wow, Steve Mason. Nice stick work. Or not.

[Northern Star]

Nice to see the Rangers ousted. f*** them.

[Thunder]

That Blackhawks game was something else. I can feel it. If they win tomorrow night, they're going to the Finals again, especially since the Kings, and their playoff magic of recent years, are out.

[Northern Star]

Minnesota aren't going down without a fight, I'll give that to them.

[Thunder]

They had a pretty good one timer there as time ran out. Good game to watch, especially 3rd period.

[Northern Star]

The good: Edmonton didn't win the lottery AGAIN. The bad: The Laffs get Matthews.

[Northern Star]

Las Vegas Golden Knights. HO-LEE s***. That's one for the ages. An abysmal and utter ******** name. A colossal fail. Words cannot fully convey the magnitude of suckery that was just foisted upon us.

[Northern Star]

Not to mention Nevada is the Silver State, so calling them Golden is even more dumb.

We should count ourselves lucky. How many different terrible gambling puns could Vegas have gone for instead? The Vegas Spades? The Vegas High Rollers? The Vegas Loose Slots?

 

I mean in a world where a AAA baseball team just renamed itself the New Orieans Baby Cakes we got off pretty lightly here.

Yeah, I don't think the Las Vegas Golden Knights is that bad. I've heard much worse.

[Northern Star]

I think Las Vegas Aces would be ace.

My Senators got a point at least tonight. No Anderson no wins lol.

I hate the Senators but I'm delirious that they beat the Bruins. Now hoping for an all-Canada final to stick it to Bettman and the NHL suit douchebags.

[Northern Star]

How far has the NHL fallen in popularity? ESPN has it placed after soccer on their menu.

[Northern Star]

This is the first season in a while I am not really excited for the return of hockey. I think the Canadiens will do bad this year.

[Northern Star]

also, Penguins lol

[Northern Star]

Ho hum, time to check the standings and see how Montreal are doing.... Ahahahahahahahaha. It's going to be a long season.

This is getting old very quickly. Is Price injured again? WTF.
