Ongoing NHL thread - Part III

I think that's a great idea.

In fact, why not just play nothing but stadium games!

If they do that, think of how exciting the NHL Indoors Classic special games will be in 15-20 years.

"Whoa, you're so close to the action!"
"The ice is so smooth. The game is faster and not as sloppy!"
"No fucking stop motion footage of them building the rink? Fuck that, count me out"

Would have been better with Shania Twain's "Man, I feel like a woman"

No Canadian teams in the playoffs + higher US dollar value = MOAR revenue

Congrats to the Sharks for finally making a Cup final. If any team deserves this it's them for sure.

Okay... this is pissing me off. What's the website where you can make head-to-head player comparisons that show 1st line/ 2nd etc. line bar graphs???

Report: Rangers will listen to offers on almost everyone, won't buy out Girardi

I have it on good authority that Derrick Brassard is a beast and any team to trade him is stupid.

I'm a bit torn about the NHL Finals. I'd like to see San Jose win it. However, if Pittsburgh wins tonight I wouldn't mind seeing Kessel hoist the Cup just to tick off everyone in Toronto.

You can't lose. If the Sharks win it, Reimer gets to hoist it.

SWEET!! I forgot about Reimer.

It would be good either way. However, If Kessel were to win a cup the trade would come full circle. Both Seguin & Kessel would have 1 cup. Meanwhile the Leafs are in rebuild mode.

Where did you get the impression that would "tick off everyone in Toronto"?

Are you saying you would be fine with both Seguin & Kessel winning the cup, while the Leafs are still struggling? If so, I give you a lot of credit. I would be a bit frustrated to say the least.

Same question as I had for DaBoltsNIsles regarding Kessel. As far as I know, Leaf fans are largely rooting for Reimer and would love to see him win.

I don't think I deserve much credit at all, but thanks?

Sorry, but if I were a Leafs fan I would be ticked off if Kessel won the Cup. It's bad enough that Seguin won one as a rookie. Kessel winning one this year would STING.

I'm not sure what you're apologizing for here. Or why you're telling me this at all.

I mean, I don't think I've seen a single post here from any Leaf fan saying that they hope Pittsburgh doesn't win because of Kessel. Maybe we're all just really odd or something though.

Then I guess the Leafs have a very forgiving fanbase.

Forgiving? Did Phil Kessel do something to me that I should be holding against him?
