t'Official offseason thread

So, that Braden Holtby is a good guy, eh?
Braden Holtby knows who should be Team Canada’s goalie (and no, he didn’t pick himself)

Good. Keep him away from that stupid shitshow tournament.

‘Is this a joke?’ Brother P.K.’s trade shocked Jordan Subban

You ain't the only one Jordan...

Nice to see that Belleville might get the Sens' AHL team. Good town that could be primed for a population boom in the not-too-distant future that didn't deserve to lose their OHL team.

I, too, think Price should start.

I mean, just picture Habs fans' reactions when he goes down in a heap on the ice in a pre-season tournament and they start their season without both Subban and Price!

Call me crazy, but I think BBB hates the Habs almost as much as I despise the Oil...

TBH, I hate the Sens and Sabres more.

My Habs hate is very recent - their fans around here (T.O, not the Hoop) got very vocal this decade because their good goalie has taken their shit roster on some decent playoff runs. Prior to that I didn't have much reason to dislike them any more than, say, Boston or NYR. They were somewhat rivals but there was no recent playoff history between them and I wasn't alive for the glory era when they would compete for Cups.

The past decade they've basically been the Oilers with a good goalie lol. God help you if Talbot ever becomes a Vezina contender.

Torts is the worst. I mean, not Dale Hunter bad, but close. I'd rather have Keenan...he's available now...

That's it, no welcome fruit basket for you.

I think he'll fit in well here.

Being from Douchington, we already have the Earl of Douchington (Dash) and Baron of Douchington (jstew).

I'm just the Pauper who traded places with the Prince to get his mod powers.

Hey. New Guy. Repeat after me:

"Holtby is a sieve".

Nor do you want to, considering you keep bringing it up.

Right now, it is a leading contender for my tombstone.

 

[Duke of Douchington]

I just hope Team Millennials wins the tournament. Or SomeofEurope.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Maybe it was posted here but I just found out on the drive home that Jay Bo was added to the team for Keith. The news of an addition would've been the lede on every damn newscast in this country were it the Olympic team.

They were also discussing whether Toronto would get sufficiently "pumped up" for the WC because the Jays are in a pennant race.

We really need a welcome package for newbs.

Otherwise how will they understand all of our snarky remarks regarding how many goals the Oilers will score this season, Mattola'ing someone, or the proper rules when deciding to use a win in the bank?

They have a monorail in Douchington?

He's probably just accepted that something he said got way beyond his control and he's just given up trying to hide from it.

I can't wait until Comeds gets released from wherever he's being held currently and brings us the next installment of the HABSin7 girl pursuit.



(there, added a few more memes from here. I'll add more as I think of them.)

Introduction threads are always fun...

Two words: YOUNG CROSBY

 

[Duke of Douchington]

Do the folks here have a fantasy league? And none of that rotisserie bullshit...

Start here. Possibly the best thread ever on these boards.

A "Victory in the Bank" - A Radical New Playoff Idea

Not exactly an intro thread, but worth it.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

We do. I think it can take new members? It's a keeper league so maybe we have to have an expansion draft.
