Great end to a great series.

I honestly thought Chicago would win by killing people, and they won it with brains and talent.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

3 Cups in SIX years, actually. :)

Keith is not human.

Class move by Toews and the Hawks giving the Cup to Timonen, Vermette, Richards and Dejardins first.

As close to a Dynasty as we may ever see in the Cap Era.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

You guys are set to lose a few key pieces. Too bad, as that's a great team right now.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Lost Ladd, Versteeg, Byfuglein and others in 2010.

Lost Bolland, Frolik, Handzus, and others in 2013.

We'll still have Toews, Kane, Keith, Seabrook, Hjallmarsson, Crawford, Saad and Hossa at the least. I think we will be fine, Neil. :)

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Looking back 1 1/2 years ... Who the fck chose subban over seabrook for the Canadian Olympic team ... Who chose subban for a Norris .

Congrats Tom ... Hope you're feeling better by now .

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

As I said in the banter thread, close but we have to see what the next 4 years bring, with this team and the youth I can see them keeping this up (phrasing), but to officially be a Dynasty I think most sports consider the number of Championships in a 10 year span. That being said I wouldn't bet against them, as I didn't this time around. :lr

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Seabrook is a horse, Derrek. He could have gotten a piece of the Conn Smythe along with Hjallmarsson.

I hope you are right, Ads, love to see 2 or 3 more Cups in Chicago before Kane hits 30. :)

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

My bad :tu

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Yeah and our lot haven't signed Frolik or Staffird yet......

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Fascinating 47 minute watch on the Bad Boy of Bruins' hockey....

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Let the trading begin, Kings reportedly giving Colin Miller, Martin Jones and 13th overall for Lucic....wow, I like Looch but that's a hell of a return, the only odd thing is Don S wants to bring back the big bad defensive Bruins and first thing he does is trade one of their toughest players. The first thing is a day after saying they would match any offer sheet up to 7mil a year for defenseman Dougie Hamilton, well they dealt him to the Calgary Flames on Friday in exchange for the No. 15, No. 45 and No. 52 selections in the 2015 NHL draft.

Well we have a lot of draft picks, a goalie that chokes under pressure more than Bill Kelley and not much else. Le sigh

The more I think of this the more it pisses me off, yet ANOTHER star run out of Boston before being given a chance, Tyler and Dougie should go have a drink and a few laughs, they can invite Andrew Boychuck as well, another difference maker traded for a bag of pucks. Puuuuuuuuke

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

#3 pick coming up, I wonder if the Bruins will package all the picks up and shoot for getting #3 ... so they can give up on that guy in 3 years and trade him away. ****ing dick bag mother****ing ****s ****ing killing the ****ing bruins faster than **** fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Edit: :bh

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Bruins paying 1/2 of Lucic's salary...Man, they couldn't flush that turd fast enough, Adam. :r

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

No no you keep Lucic around forever hoping some day he'll pan out and give you Cam Neely 2.0, Tyler S. and Hamilton, those guys you jettison A.S.A.P. Looch won more games for the Habs playing the Bruins than anyone on their team

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Point taken. ;)

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Glad to see the son of Frankenstein gone he peaked a few years ago and was killing the team.
Hamilton may turn out to be a elite player some day, but he has a long way to go before that happens?
The Bruins were not going to pay Hamilton more money then Patrice Bergeron, to bad they could not move up to get Hanifin.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Hawks just traded Patrick Sharpe. Wow. Cap space must be hurting.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

It was expected. Good thing we got Daley in the trade, as Oduya is apparently not returning.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Would love to see Oduya in an Avs sweater.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Oduya signs with Stars for 2yr/$7.5MM. Apparently, passed on Buffalo and 3yr/$15MM.

Jim Nill (GMJN2) doing work this offseason.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

I will really miss Daley. One of my favorite players over the years. You will enjoy his skating. Unfortunately, he was really inconsistent in his defensive play as of late. I got the feeling he was trying to be the number 1 guy and that just didn't seem like a good fit.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

He won't need to be (or could even be if he wanted) the #1 guy in Chicago, Zach, I am hoping he can put up some numbers like he did last season and shore up the D. I liked watching him in Dallas too, great skater. Definitely sacrificed some defense for offense though.

Oduya must have reeeeeeeeeeally not wanted to go to Buffalo. :r

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

I hope nothing comes of the Patrick Kane investigation. Don't know how well the dog would take to a name change.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

She went to his place, I am hoping it's just a "get rich quick" attempt.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Thought this was cool, good trivia material.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Trencin got screwed in 2012! :D

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Tom ... Hate to ask this ... Any local news on Kane ??? Basically in the news for 2 days and then nothing .

Derrek

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Mostly speculation, Derrek. I guess Kane and his lawyer are cooperating and went in to speak with the prosecutor and police again yesterday. Consensus among non-media types here is Kane is getting railroaded, but I guess time will tell.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Still no charges yet he's losing 'face' with partnerships and marketing opportunities and even losing the NHL16 box spot, I know that's just a video game and he's got real problems but it could take months to charge him with anything and it's just going to become one long media circus.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Neat trick shot I recently came across. Just for you Tom.

Awesome, Mike, and couldn't be from a better guy.

And on that note, time to open up a new thread. :ih
