McQuaid has always been able to throw 'em. I think he is about the closest thing to Joey Kocur in the salary-cap NHL.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Hthat rush and goal by Duchene was freaking awesome!!!(goal #4)

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

I put Carter H in and basically ruin his career. :lr

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Not the finish I'd hoped for.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

At least one of us is happy, E.J.! ;s

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Red Wings make a yuuuuge comeback against the Bruins. Christ it's a shutout or they give up a half dozen...

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

lot of buzz this morning. Claude isn't expected to finish the day as a Bruin...........

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

EEI talk or the CHB (Curly haired bastard) ? Didn't see anything on the national news but then again it's hockey so there never is much about it. I still say Rask is the weight around their neck.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

You are an anti-Finnite.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

mostly EEI regurgitating Joe Haggerty's opinion.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

One of the few things (ok there's more than a few) I miss about Boston, real sports, real sports talk, etc., San Diego just doesn't compare, to that or the food for that matter.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Same thing, different day, dump in 3rd.....

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Post game.... Yea, just talking about next year.... Fun for a fan!!!!

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Funny to watch these talking heads for the Avs..... Yea.....would like to hear your take if you were not paid by the Avs.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Tough season.....

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Real tough, I think they need to get rid of Sakic and company. Awesome player, terrible GM :rolleyes:

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Looks like the Bruins have a presser set for tomorrow to discuss the coaching situation "regardless of today's outcome"... sounds like Claude is all done in Boston. Please please please take Rask with you :(

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Marleau with 4 goals on 4 shots in the 3rd .. dang!

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

I hear you brother. I think the media have lready written off my crew. "Once Liane is healthy...."

One player doesn't make the team, and we still need a friggin' goalkeeper who can save a few!

Aaaargh.

Adam - trade you Rask for 3 Jets goalies. Only slightly used.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Done and done, have your people call my people! black black no take back!

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Monster game for Marleau, 497 and counting. I was playing against him last week, who has Mark this week? :hn

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

I have to admit I don't know **** or follow half the guys on my team. It was luck of the draw. I suppose all the blah blah blah about draft order was unnecessary.
Or im a great GM posting bs in the wrong thread...

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

So you are saying I should withdraw my nomination of you for General Manager of the year, not sure how the Sports Writers Association will cope with that.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

i accept your nomination, I'm living proof that even a caveman can do it.:)

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Glad the draft isn't a factor for you, Mark. :tu

Now, how to freeze Adam's roster....... :lr

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

I haven't followed much hockey this year. How is Columbus doing so well?

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Churning churning churning the bottom baby! :noon:banger:noon:banger

i am putting in a suggested rule change for next year, you can only carry 2 goalies at a time. Just like the real league, if everyone takes two there will be plenty of goalies left in the pool though the season if anyone get's injured or just sucks *cough* Gibson *cough* and you are an idiot and want to dump them right away.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Cam Atkinson
Sergei Bobrovsky
and lots of timely secondary scoring. They have been great, Dan, although slowing down some since that historic streak.

I suggest we each are mandated to have 4 goalies and can't drop any of them for any reason. Unless Dave offers you John Scott and a bag of pucks for Holtby and Dubnyk. :D

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

I reserve the right to over react.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Two back up goalies and you got a shutout and decent GAA and Save percentage. It was looking like you might have the goalies sewn up for the week until the Pred's guy sh!t the bed.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

I'd like to see the 2 goalie rule also and to be able to add or drop the same day they play.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

We can put it to a vote in the off-season, I am totally against the same day add/drop though.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Yah I think same day adds drops will really cause churn and just be a mess, the real time type waiver wire at least keeps it sane.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

My thoughts as well.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Tom - your guy just earned top spot as worst anthem singer of all time.
Gads.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Bruins fire Claude on a day when the news will be all about the parade, nice job in reducing the negative publicity on the team. They should have relieved Rask of his duties ... along with Don and Cam.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

While I love my Bruins, they have no class. They fired Claude Jullian this morning and holding a press conference set to start at 11:30. The EXACT moment of the Pats Victory Parade. The route is closed by the the Garden so no one can get there to attend the press conference. Neely and Sweeny have obviously gotten too many pucks to the head.:fu2 Butt holes!

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

gutless.........

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Neely should have gotten canned after last years piss poor performance.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Neely and Sweeney are being ripped to shreds on sports talk radio. The reporters that showed up to the presser worked Sweeney over pretty good.
The gutless ball bag Neely did not even attend, it will be hard for them to recover from this?

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

I called my brother when I heard the news. He said "They give him garbage players and expect him to do miracles." So true, reminds me of when Belichick took over as coach. He insisted on full control. "You can't expect me to make the dinner if you don't let me buy the groceries."
Guess I'm watching college hockey for the rest of the season.:na

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Big game tonight Tom!

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Whoops, looks like it's tomorrow...;s

The Jets tonight. Good start. Good to see Coyle getting involved with 3 assists.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Just another game 'til the playoffs, Pete. Wild are looking really good though. :tu

Bruins disappointed with there handling of the Julian firing. Like you Boston guys said, shoulda been Sweeney and Neely.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Heckuva game tonight Tom! Some questionable calls on both teams but I have a feeling we'll be seeing you in the playoffs.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Exciting game, Pete, but I have a hard time with that challenge as Parise was clearly offside according to Mike E., Eddie O. Pierre, Mike M. and anyone else with eyes. Oh well, won't be the last time.

I definitely hope for a second round matchup. I think the Wild will win the division, and the Hawks will get either the Preds or the Blues. Minni could definitely end up with one of those teams as the wild card. Both our teams will need to get through a tough series to get there, but I have a feeling they both will. :tu

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Yeah I was shocked that goal didn't get overturned. I was at bowling and the whole alley groaned when they showed the replay. Ha. You could say they owed us one as we have had more than a couple goals taken away by refs this year on bad calls. One of your goals came shortly after that goalie interference call on Coyle that was highly questionable since he was checked into Crawford. They always even out by the end of the year.

Really looking forward to the postseason this year. I think we finally have the depth to contend seriously.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

As all other sports are trying to shorten the game ... the NHL comes up with a coaches challenge to stretch out ( interminably ) the game .

As has been said ... it all evens out by the end of the year .

Get rid of coaches challenges before it becomes embedded like ( yawn ) baseball .

Other than that ... a great game .
