The Random Hockey Thoughts Thread

Because this:



is not offside. It's a really good play by Kesler.

Good still. I didn't see that. Either way I would hardly complain about an offside call like that because it is so close and the Bruins have gotten a couple of those. The problem I had was Lucic stopped backchecking and Boychuck fkin sucks

[Ravin]

Part of the reason Chara wasn't on the ice is because of the line on the ice. He was shifting against the Sedin line, and some against the Kesler line. It just so happens that Kesler stayed on the ice when the Torres line was coming on.

BTW who is broadcasting on the american side?

I am at the point where I can't stand healy and hughston for much longer. It's insanely obvious how one sided hughston is right now and healy is still making the dumbest talking points I've seen in a while.

I noticed mcguire in the space between the two benches so vs. or nbc has to have it right.

You're telling me you'd actually take McGuire over Craig Simpson? :sigh:

[killgod]

I would. That tandem out in Vancouver is annoying as all fuck.

[wr50l]

Just geez 3 hours of Grapes and it would be unparralleled broadcast quality.

I can't stand Mike Emrick, personally. It's not that he is bad, but his nasally voice and melodrama annoy the shit out of me.

As for the game, I thought it was great. Thomas is unbelievable. Don't care who wins this series, he deserves the Vezina.

[Ravin]

I don't mind hughston, but I wish Healy would die in a fire. He just seems to have this smug attitude about him all the time, like he is fucking king shit and knows everything. I would say 95% of the time he is ripping on something. And he doesn't provide any colour to the game. At least McMonster in the press box, you get a lot of shit. I enjoy McGuire and think he can be funny. Sure he has his annoying moments, but I'll take the knowledge he has over Healy's rantings any day.

Put it this way, if Tim Thomas makes a save, Healy will talk about how the defence missed their man, and it was a terrible play. McGuire will call Thomas a Monster, talk about how the play develop, and remind you that Thomas vacations in a summer home that is beside next seasons #3 draft pick. lol

And sadly, that last part is not far from the truth with McGuire. lol

I'm a Bruins fan, that wasn't offsides. The Bruins had their chance and blew it, this was the kind of game the Bruins could win. They will not win a 5 or 6 goal game against these Canucks. Bruins are done unless there is four more 1-2 goal games and Tim Thomas has the best series of his life. Bruins offense is terrible.



People in Boston lose all perspective, I hate the media here. They think Basketball, Football, Hockey and Baseball begin and end with Boston. You'll hear stuff like "Bergeron is a great 2 way player and he cancels out Ryan Kessler while Seidenberg and Chara will stop both Sedins so this series will be close" and "The Bruins have the best 5on5 in the game" meanwhile Vancouver had a +- of like 72 in 5on5 while the Bruins were +-50.

They think Josh Becket is the best pitcher in the MLB and Rondo is the best PG since Magic Johnson.

and then there are fans like you who are fuckin clueless.

blew it? It was a 1-0 hockey game. It could have gone either way.

Looks like Richards is going to be a free agent. Dallas has no ownership group basically and they won't be offering him a contract till that situation gets settled.

http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=367672

He still has his NTC so dallas would have to go through the hoop of having him waive it so the other team gets his negotiating rights.

[wr50l]

Start spreading the news,
he's leaving today,
he wants to be a part of it,
New York, New York!

I believe what he means is the Bruins are fucking shite and on this night Vancouver played down to their opposition, thus giving the Bruins an opportunity to avoid the humiliation of the justifiable and probable SWEEP!

Just another player that will get thrown millions at to play like shit and be thrown into the minors for the remainder of their deal or traded to some sap team who gets stuck with the contract for years.

Ahh the rangers where good players goto die.

Yes. Talk crap about 1 of the two final teams remaining while your team is out golfing. Go overpay for Richards so he can get concussed and end up like Lindros.
