Ongoing NHL Thread Part IV - A New Hope

[KennyBanyeah]

I watched Dasnk a lot when he was down here for camp. So much potential, but seems to have a tendency to miss one bad one a game. It's about damage control for him.



Let's be fair, it was a "convict" third and Boro. Likely clearance. Probably 75.

You should be able to hire Mark Borowiecki for a day for $75. But he has pictures of the Sens front office it appears so he still has a NHL gig.

Not sure what that is supposed to mean but just to be clear I don't think those fights are caused solely by Leafs fans.

Seemed like it.

I’ve never been to a game in Ottawa but I’ve been to Leaf games in Montreal, Buffalo and Detroit. The Buffalo one was very tame considering that was probably the one with the most Leaf fans in attendance (and also both teams sucked at the time). At the Montreal ones I’ve been to I’ve seen a few ruckuses but nothing violent.

At the Detroit game I went to in 2008 (season opener) we left the Joe happy that the Leafs won and went to the pickup point for the bus to take us back to Windsor and some Detroit fans passed by and started shouting something about Canadian pussies and eventually a fight broke out a few feet from me. That was pretty scary. But otherwise I’ve never had anything other than pleasant experiences so long as I wasn’t paying any attention whatsoever to the Leafs’ actual game play.

Yeah it basically just takes two shitheads to meet up to start something. Most of the time it's just pushing, shoving and bad grammar. I've been to a Montreal-Boston game in Montreal and a bunch (~25) of 18-20 year old Bostonians showed up. That got ugly. In fact the young Bostonians that come up to Montreal to party are always a train wreck.

At the Canucks Sens game I went to recently, the row behind us had 6 Sens fans and they had their trash talk game going pretty good ... most of it was hardcore funny stuff ... but at times the language was a bit much ... especially for my 9 and 6 year old ... although they both looked at me when they heard the stuff and said as they were laughing "dad ... he said asswipe" (just one example)

I think, for the most part, alot more can be accomplished if you go at them with words than fists lol or maybe i just got lucky when i turned and asked them "how are you guys enjoying your first beers ever?"

I wonder why Antti Niemi was waived this morning - Oh maybe this is the reason:

[KennyBanyeah]

I guess the Pens and their fans just aren't pro Niemi.

 

[tducey]

Yeah, Niemi was terrible thus far. Guess the Penguins will have Tristan Jarry as their new backup.

I'm not vouching for the accuracy but this was the first thing that came up.

Thanks! Longer ago then I might have guessed.

God am I ever gonna enjoy watching this unfold

I only remembered it now and had to look it up but Ryan Reaves has 1 pt in 9 games so far.

When do the Habs cut their losses? Trade Galchenyuk for whatever you can. They desperately need a divorce, that situation will not improve. I think his only chance at success is a change of scenery.

Some chatter regarding the Flames and Sam Bennett going to Montreal for Galchenyuk. Habs most likely looking for more offense than what Bennett is currently providing, but at the same time, it's difficult to produce offense when you look at some of his linemates this season.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

maybe Derek Dorsett for Galchenyuk would work about now lol

 

[dash]

maybe Derek Dorsett for Galchenyuk + Gallagher would work about now lol

There we go lol

Yeah but he is a fan favorite to these dumb yinzers in Pittsburgh because he went after Scott Hartnell twice (who had no intention of fighting).

God Pittsburgh fans piss me off sometimes.

Parise might have back surgery which would keep him out of the lineup for at least 2 months.

Raymond, Ballard and a 2nd

Raymond, Ballard and a 2nd

The Habs might be holding out for Booth... or Eberle... or both.
