Ongoing NHL thread - Part deux

Yotes 2-0 fuck ya

Shane Doan, ladies and gents.

Love it

Mike Smith is pathetic...complete head case. Hornqvist has been in his office all night, and Smith has chased him down once and somehow was not penalized when he flung Hornqvists stick nearly into the stands.

Hey no crying in hockey bud

Yammy Yagr becomes the second player in NHL history to score goals 25 years apart.
(after Mr Hockey, of course)

Hey, you guys remember that time when the Caps signed Orpik, and everyone mocked it. And then he like.... Really improved the Caps defense or whatever. Annnnnn like...they signed Niskanen too and thier defense got even better and the Pens continued their downward slide. And then like the Caps pranked the Pens and put a fake note on the GMs desk that said "memo to GM from owner - get Phil Kessel!" and the GM thought it was serious and actually did trade for Phil Kessel... Well... Do you remember that?

...

that was awesome.

Shane Doan, ladies and gents.

Sad thing is he knew he would get away with that since there was little time left.

Well, actually, as a fan, our job is essentially to complain, chief.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

You just got Doaned

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Bruins have put Matt Irwin on waivers. Oilers should claim him, but they won't.

So Robin Lehner has an high ankle sprain and is out 6-10 weeks, eh?

Sabres reception: Mr. Tim Murray, there's a Brad Treliving on line 1.

You think your team sucks
Mine just signed Ray Emery

Well, let's be honest. Between Richards, Stoll, Voynov and Lucic - the Kings are uniquely experienced in dealing with a guy like Ray Ray

Who is the heir apparent in Buffalo? Asking for a group of friends who are probably right now at the Foligno's house playing pool.

Okay, discussion time. The NHL dept of justice roulette has already had us scratching our heads with Lucic and Brown.

I present another that I am looking for opinions on. Alex Wennberg is concussed, no timetable for return. No penalty on the play.

I think that with the lack of discussion on Lucic and Brown, it's clear that the league is not necessarily bothered by "reckless, late and high hits". Feels unnecessary and dangerous to me, but this one negatively affected my team, so my opinion is tainted.

Thoughts?

Chad Johnson is gonna be starting for the most part until Lehner. They have a couple prospects that might pan out (Linus Ullmark, Andrey Makarov) but they aren't quite NHL ready yet. My mild optimism for this year is disappearing quickly

Definitely seemed unnecessary and avoidable, probably worth at least a few games

 

[Comeds]

So far this season Montreal's power play is as bad as last season's.

This guy was at the Habs/Broons game last night.



No word on where or if they found the body.

 

[forty_three]

Welp, doesn't look like it would have mattered that the Jackets spotted the Rangers 2 goals early.

The Henrik Lundquist from the future is in tonight. He's already seen this game and knows where every shot if coming from. It's frightening (as an opponent) to watch him when he's this on.

Case in point.


Save of the year, 3 games in.

Not enough for you?

Unnecessary, incredibly late, no idea how that's not a penalty...but I don't foresee a suspension.

VENTING ALERT!!!

HOLY SHIT are the baseball boards insufferable. Thank God hockey is back....
