I'm just buying time, waiting to see if the Avs trade Duchene or Landeskog for blue line help by March 1st. But Hell, they can't score goals now and get rid of Duchy(their most marketable talented forward[MacKinnon is not going anywhere]), causes more issues on that end.

Avs are a mess.

BRING ON PLAYOFF HOCKEY!!!

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

The Wild have plenty of blueliners. We could take Duchene off your hands. Don't want Anything to do with Landeskog. Guys pisses me off.....:D

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Dumba, Spurgeon and Suter for Duchesne.

There, 2 problems solved. The Avs, and the Blackhawks. :r

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Not exactly who I was thinking.....more like Brodin or Christian Folin. Actually I'd be fine with Dumba going. He's either great or terrible. I'm actually somewhat worried they are going to try and bring in a scorer and screw up the chemistry and ruin the season. But I think that's just the MN sports fan in me......

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Fine, throw in Parise, Pomminville and Niederreiter, and the Avs will throw in Rene Bourque. :D

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Julienne just got hired by the Habs!

Karma's a biyatch!

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Have liked coach J since he was coaching the oiler farm team ... Hamilton bulldogs .

I believe ... julienne is a ( way) better coach than the bruins are a hockey team .

Hiring Julienne may move the habs into Stanley cup contender territory ... I hope .

Derrek

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

:lr :D

I agree of Julien's talent as a coach. Derrek. But the only thing that's going to make Montreal a true Cup contender is Carey Price returning to his Vezina year form. :2

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

They won't be the Flying Frenchman anymore? Defense,defense,defense,roll with four lines.:r

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

I believe ... right now ... price is broken .

We will see in two months :) .

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

IF the oilers make the playoffs ... I feel sorry for whoever they play in the first round .

On last nights game ... it has been a long time since I thought the oilers could have been a little less intimidating bullying gratuitously violent ... not sure I fully support this .

Derrek

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Just had to "settle the score" with Manning in their eyes, Derrek. I think the only Oiler who might continue is Lucic, and only because he has played like sh!t all year.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Welllllllll

I was hoping the oilers would be able to remain competitive ( after last weeks game against the Hawks ) into the third period .

Instead ... talbot stood on his head and they managed 2 points from a game they didn't deserve to win .

Dare I hope ... oilers make the playoffs .

Toews is a total world class hockey player ... awesome game in a losing effort ...

Derrek

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Rooting for the Oilers to make it, Derrek! :tu

Be great if they could knock the Kings out of it. :r

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Zadorov out for season after injuring his ankle at practice. Worst season ever for the Avs.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

3 goals, 2 assists, +5 for Johnny Toews tonight. 9 points in his last 2 games Vs the Wild. He's a beast.

Hawks still with an outside chance to win the Central. I'd prefer to avoid Minnesota and St Louis in the 2st round, let them beat each other up. :r

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Your squad outplayed us in all aspects tonight. Not our best effort to say the least. Hope it's a bit of a wake up call for us. Especially with the way the Hawks turn it up a notch in the playoffs. That being said, I'm not at all worried about the Blues. The Hawks are the only team in the west I'm worried about.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Mostly agree on the Blues, Pete. Love to see the Hawks and Wild in the second or CC round. :tu

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

The honeymoon will wear off for Yeo.....I didn't dislike him as a coach here, but after watching how Boudreau adjusts and rewards players who are having good games in the game itself I can see why the players here gave up on him. Yeo always stayed with the vets. Even when they weren't playing well. If he does the same thing in St Louis his young players are going to quit on him there too.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Heading to an Avs game this weekend. Going to cheer them on to a 17th win....:tu

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Heading down to the UC tonight to see the Hawks battle the Coyotes.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

I did it!! :noon. Cheered the Avs to win 17!!!

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Nice!

Hawks got a win when I went Thursday as well. Going back today to watch them play the Blues and keep the party rollin'.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Oh puhlease we both know that was all me saying that Kane needed a hat trick that night.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Twas all I could think about, getting you some fancy fantasy points. :D

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Watching the oilers and wings game .

Can't help but think ... if tatar has kids ... they would be " tater tots " .

Derrek

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Oh, Derrek. :r

Hawks win their 12th out of 13, and 8th in a row on the road. They look tough.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

I give you the reply of my people, Oi!

McQuaid takes a skate to the next, gets 25 stitches and is expected to play tomorrow. Gotta love hockey players.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Rugby and Hurling come to mind.

My humerus still thinks rugby is rough (and not very funny btw) after being dis-assembled at age 16.

17 seconds, twice. Must feel like Tuukka Rask squared. ;) :r

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

It was tough to watch.... Like 20 days until playoff hockey.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Jump our bandwagon, E.J., we're runnin' hot. :D

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Also tough to watch.......the Minnesota Wild. What a dumpster fire......just another epic meltdown by a MN sports team.

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Well ... let me start by saying I have been watching hockey on tv for 50 years .

Crosby tonight scored (what I think ) the best all time ... and any hockey fan has to put it in their top 10 ever .

Not a big Crosby fan ... but losing a couple teeth and still playing ... bonus respect points .

Derrek

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

It was a nice goal, Derrek, but I'm not putting it on my Top 10 list. :)

Pete, playoffs can be a whole new season, you never know. ;)

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

For those that want to see what Derrek is talking about....

I know I am biased, but I can think of goals by Kane, Panik and Hayden that were better within the last month. :2

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

Tom

I get to watch Mcdavid every night and through the 80's Gretzky every night ... never seen this done before .

If you are left handed ... hold stick in right hand only and raise the puck off the ice ... better yet two guys trying to climb onto you and roof the puck past the goalie .

No Blackhawk or any other hockey player has ever done it that I can remember .

But I digress ... as long as you are a hockey fan ... every thing is alright .

Derrek

Re: NHL '16 - '17 Season Thread
 

I have to say that was almost like a trick shot goal, don't mean that in a bad way, but he knew what he was doing popping it up and punching it in.
