MBBRL If Needed Hockey Talk

I traveled to two of the three Frozen Fours that DU won even though it occurs during tax season. It is just a great event.

To clarify- DU has won 8 but three in the last 15 years.

DU vs Diluth this weekend. these two teams have won the past 3 national titles. should be fun.

absolutely

Wasn't quite as fun as I had hoped. DU got swept at home.

Did anyone like the new uniforms for the outdoor Avs-Kings game?

I slept through the game (weird hours work weekend). But from what I saw of the previews for the jerseys I would say no.

Was kind of cool. But too abstract for my taste.
I guess I'm undecided.
Saw the Avs went "Steelers" style with the logo on one side of the helmet.

this was supposed to be in the hockey thread, no clue why it ended up here!

The Wings are messing with my mind or at least have been the last couple of seasons...

10 years ago if you would have asked me which guy was worth the money the Blackhawks paid to Toews, Kane, Keith and Seabrook, in my view Kane would have been last on the list. And thats the problem the Hawks have now.

Wings have young talent but nothing on the blue line or in net. Hell or a coach lol

I would have said Keith Kane Toews Seabrook. I never thought Toews was as good as people said he was

Kane wasnt a scrapper. And he was little. If he had the same chip on his shoulder as other smaller players like Andrew Shaw or Todd Marchant or even a Theo Fluery, i could see it.

If he wont go into the corner to fight for pucks, you cant use him on PK.

Really didnt expect Kane to last long without that edge.

 

[Barilko]

Speaking of 10 years ago
unless you are Canadian you can never truly understand the magnitude of this...

of course i imply the above with all due respect

I just finished unpacking and turn the game on to see the fix is in for Edmonton to get the#1 pick.

 

[Barilko]

There's that Habs goal horn i didnt expect to hear again Good O'l MLB's Dan's son is alright by me

 

[Barilko]

Well seeing ya bumped it

what do you think about the Hawks and Habs opening wins...

i know the boys inner core is they play to win

and i do believe the Hawks could take another crack at the can even though it isnt really realistic not enough D depth and all but the core is good and they know their time is limited

also they have a better chance then my squad

but what are they both doing....

Habs pick 1st (Lafreniere) or 9th with a loss to the Pens

and the Hawks pick 1st or 10th i think

Edmonton still shaky on D so your boys might just get em...

both game 2s should be mighty interesting with it being a best of 5 and alll...

@SteelersPride if you are here lurking how is the sound in Pittsburgh right now

are fans talking Pens is Cary Price in their heads...or maybe no one cares right now....

cripes lets hope not

even though the kid doesnt want to play in MTL we surely could use him..
Montreal is longing for a French star (most have no idea how bad unless ya live here)

it is beyond comprehension how this city lives and dies by having a French Hockey Star...its been way too long a wait and the city is drooling over the chance at Lafreniere

we lost a good young up and coming D in Sergachev just trying to appease the fn media and the throngs and let me tell ya Drouin is not the answer....

Suzuki looked good last night for y'all. Isn't he one of those Japanese French stars? Kidding.

With the way the NHL did this years draft, I keep hearing how they are going to give the 1st overall next year to Edmonton or Pittsburgh.

well if the Habs and Hawks win Edmonton and Pittsburgh will have a combined 25% chance of that indeed happening...

and ya Suzuki looks really good and it appears the ol dinasour Julian trusts him....

if he lands some wingers he could be a Bergeron type player and that would be awesome...

is younger brother has talent as well but maybe not quite the same smarts..

Sorry, but I only had time to watch the Hawks-Oilers.
I think the Hawks were a little more prepared which helped.
Oilers had a ton of penalties and the Hawks capitalized.
At times, the age of the older guys (Keith) and the inexperience of the younger guys showed.
I have no idea what the next game holds based on this.

Nah, not much panic. They took
The punch still almost won.

they matchup really well with Montreal should bounce back.
