The Random Hockey Thoughts Thread

I bet Quebec would be able to give major support if you gave them the Nordiques back.

If they had the arena built and ready to go, I bet they would be a front runner ahead of Winnipeg. But since they don't, and Winnipeg has an NHL capable building plus the ties already with the Jets/Yotes franchise, they will get the team no question. Big negative is that the MTS Centre would be the smallest building in the league, so that really hurts to start things off.

The NHL has changed a lot since the Nordiques left, and I think now with a lot of major sponsors in Quebec, the team could be fine. But I doubt the NHL ever adds anymore teams. They may some day go to 32, but I just don't see it happening anytime soon.

Well lucky for Quebec Atlanta will be going on life support soon enough.

I don't think Toronto/Quebec would be good places to go ethier. Sure those are the two of the biggest cities in Canada. But there is no way in hell they would be able to compete with the Maple Leafs/Montreal.

LOL. Quebec doesn't even have a team and they have more fans than some current NHL teams.

Bostons offense is horrible.

I literally fist pumped when boston scored.

Fuck the shitty canadiens. I hope their fans are crying to sleep tonight.

Hope we close it out in Montreal. Their fans will be calling for their heads, and there will be riots. Where is theMINI?

Niemi again:

Indeed. First two goals were generated off poor turnovers, but fuck he didn't look like was ever into the game.

Quick looks like it though.

I just hope boston pounds them because that organization needs to wake up.

Their team is pretty shitty just hidden behind a goalie that had to play 75+ games.

Please.
You are a moron.
This has been a great series and both teams are playing great.
Maybe when your team makes the playoffs or does anything, then you can call my team shitty.
I'm not complaining about the loss tonight, Thomas robbed Gionta.

To say the Canadiens are just a goalie is so stupid, it's beyond ridiculous. Hell, the team is playing without its top two defencemen and forcing a rookie to play 30 minutes a game.

Cammalleri, Plekanic, Gionta, Subban, (soon Eller), this is not a shitty team by any stretch - something I suspect every Boston fans would agree with.

True Story.
