As a counter the wheels have fallen of the sharks wagon and someone just decided to throw a gernade in also to make sure it was nice and fugged

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Didn't see the game, Mike, just the score. Not good?

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

I couldnt finish watching it. Thankfully I was at work.
Getting beat like that by one of the worse teams in the league is sad.
I think they are 1-4-1 on this trip. the only victory was the caps who had a minor league goalie in net. really they should be 0-5-1

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Good game last night Hawks vs. Wings. Thought the Hawks played scrappy and kept coming at the Wings, and it paid off.

Can't wait for Quincey to suit up for the next game! That will really tighten up the Wings D and give some insurance for when Lidstrom retires.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Quincy was a real good pick-up for Detroit, Son. Hoping the Hawks follow suit before the deadline.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Nothing against the win as they deserved it but the Flames were icing half an AHL squad...

Tom, I hope there is zero truth to the rumor that Kane is being shopped. That kid is very, very good. These wins will probably silence those calling for change eh?

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Roenick started those rumors with his Big Bazoo, Brett, I don't think that Hawks have any intention of moving Kane at this point. :2

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Yeah I heard that too now that you mention it. JR...gotta love him

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Good to see the Avs get a win(2 points out of the 8). I was at a HS Hockey game, so didn't catch it, didn't even DVR it, but happy all the same.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Nice win for the B's last night snapping the Blues home winning streak and a great game to watch. Hopefully they will get things turned around?
We have no right wingers and have guys playing that should not even be in the NHL.
CJ shortened the bench and moved Krejci to wing he had a good game.I don't know what his problem is he got a new contract time to earn it.
B's need to get some help deadline is coming up Chiarelli says the asking price is crazy so we won't be getting any impact players?

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Welcome to the world of the Pittsburgh Penguins for the last year and a half!

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Yeah. You poor bastards. Without one of those your forward lines suck... (insert sarcasm font)

:sw

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Tough loss there Tom. 3 unanswered goals in the 3rd. Ouch.
We lost to a hot Phoenix team. I swear those Coyotes and Nashville are bizarre. I don't understand how they win so much. On paper they are not horrible but certainly not impressive.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Holy hell! The Wild won a shootout! I didn't think that was allowed!

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

This is what I was talking about

As of Feb 17th, the Penguins were #1 in the league in respect to Man Games lost per Game.

Boston on the other hand was 30th.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Just giving you a hard time man. I hear ya. Just totally jealous of the forwards on that team even depleted. I think Shero is one of the few very good ones out there.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

This time of year, I'm always wondering what the GM's will pull out of their hat. I lost confidence in Craig Patrick at the end, but yea, Shero seems to really have a feel for getting the exact pieces they need.


I'm also always hopeful that Columbus will do something right but they just seem to be a whipping boy of the NHL. And I don't think it will get better any time soon. Carter is now gone, Vermette is gone and most likely Nash will be gone. It's gonna suck there for a while :)

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Not sure they will last that long there in Ohio. I hear the attendance is horrible. Who could blame them with one playoff appearance in franchise history to which they got swept. Nash is going to get them a very nice return I think. Carters return was okay and could be good if they do anything with the pick. At least they got rid of the 10 year deal.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

If Columbus gets good players for Nash, and the #1 draft pick, hopefuly they can bring in some excitement and win back some of the fans.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Excellent Game between the Isles and Rags. Nabby was in the zone and I liked the new kid Cizikas (sp?). Still have a few pieces to put together in the rebuild but our core is solid.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

I tell you, not many things warms my heart more than leafs losing. Call it a sick perversion-(P

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

What a boring trade deadline so far. Here's hoping for an interesting day and a half.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Hopefully something interesting like Kane for Rask and a 2nd round pick.:D

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

How about Kane for Marchand, Lucic, Rask and a 1st round pick? :)

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

You are crazier than I am.:D

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Avs!

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Blackhawks just got f****d by the officials in Toronto, and didn't even get a reach-around. :td :mad:

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Wheels are off for the Hawks. They will be lucky to make the playoffs.

Color me disgusted. Scotty Bowman better be on that phone tonight.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

neil and boychuck...i have watched it on utube about 20 times.

no penalty...real hockey...if you cant take a hit...stay in sweden.

derrek :hm

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

That was one huge hit, Derrek. :banger

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Sharks are right there also. Normally they wait till the playoffs to collapse. Guess they just figured they would do it early. Sad about both the Hawks and Sharks. :td

Tomorrow should be interesting. Cant see the Sharks making a move fir Nash. some Sharks dont seem to like him. Cant see them giving up much. unless they trade boyle for nash :r

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Downie's already kicking ass!

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Oh Nooo weeee suck a-gaaaiiin. Isles get trounced in Ottawa. great first period that went flat.

Hey Tom. Nabby for Kane straight up. :D

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Throw in Tavares and you got a deal! :wo

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Yea things look real bad right now. Hopefully they get it out of their system. As far as Nash goes I'd rather keep boyle. I just don't think Nash is a good fit in san jose

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Hes a great player though. Boyle is still very sought after and the Sharks have some good young D.
Doubt it will happen, but rumors are rumors and heard he might be on table.

Today is always exciting.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Suprised his skates stayed on. Holy Shizz that dude got wrecked.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Hawks get Oduya, he is an upgrade from Lepisto, O'Donnell, Montador and Scott.

Speaking of Scott, the Rangers just got themselves the NHL's reigning heavyweight champ.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

The Bruins reacquire Brian Rolston, and pick up Mike Mottau and Greg Zanon.
Now that will make us all warm and fuzzy.
We had Rolston ten years ago and he could have been claimed off wavers yesterday for free:sh Mottau has a head like an eggshell,he will never play, Zanon for Kampfer,we would have taken a bag of pucks for Kampfer.
This is moves just to make moves and does nothing for the team.
JJ can now keep the 13 million in cap money in the bank.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

No he is goin to Toronto according to thier slanted media. But I throw in Rolston, reasoner, and Motteu.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Certain Teams get away with all kinds of stuff and Toronto is the # 1 team that the zebra's allow to get away with stuff. Other teams like the Isles get screwed. I am a very fair at assesing penalties even for my own team (i.e. not just a homer). this is why there was that Debacle against the Pens last January. THe team said if the officials won't help us we will take care of it ourselves...

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

I feel your pain it's open season on the Bruins,things are going to change they get no calls I would say they got a green light from the league? Joe Corvo isn’t happy about the flying elbow he absorbed from Kyle Turris and called him out in the paper and is going to exact some frontier justice tomorrow night.
If Corvo don't get him someone else will.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Original six usually, I say usually get the calls in favor overall. Not that I ***** to much about it last year was ridiculous and this year is not much better. That seemed a bad hit. I would say at least a penalty maybe even a 10 min. but suspension??? depends on his history which I do not know very well at all. BTW I want Chara back on LI. why the F did we trade him. Oh yeah because MM is a douche and ran the Org into the groung. what a dick.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

I cannot believe the Canucks traded Hodgson to Buffalo for Kassian. I know Kassian is big with decent skills, vut I think Cory is a potential star. Hope it comes back to bite them.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

need now vs. what will be in the future is my guess.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

I think Hodgson is better than Kassian right now.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Understood. But maybe they don't...

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

I hear Gragnini is pretty good. I dislike the Canucks though so would love to see it bite them in the arse.

Flames stand pat...(yawn). Pretty indifferent to this actually (Sort of like the entire Flames org.)

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Obviously, Tony. :r

I got just two words for you...Olli Jokinen. :lr
