The Random Hockey Thoughts Thread

Just watched the HBO thing for the first time actually. My oh my do hockey players, coaches, executives and referees swear a lot.

I'm fairly sure Bruce Boudreau swears more in his one tirade then they entire Penguins roster.

I think we should take it to a game 7 TOMORROW night.

Tonight's effort doesn't really have an effect on the Stanley Cup finals.

yeah after sitting in airport for 12 hours I lost track of what day it is.

Nonsense lol. Fleury was calling everyone on his team a motherfucker during the outdoor practice.

Of course you, a boston fan would think this is a great article. When really it sounds more like the whiny rantings of a man who has already cashed his chips in on the Bruins, and just wants to make the pain of not seeing his team win the cup by trying to bruise the ego of their fan base.

Seriously, half the article is rather garbage. The shit on Raffi Torres? Seriously, you had to go back to series 1 to find something to say? Something that has nothing to do with this final, and most likely was an after thought in the minds of everyone because it really wasn't that big of a deal? Any hockey fan will tell you a bright spot in the Canucks line up has been the play of Torres. This regular 4th liner is putting up big minutes, and in the dying moments on game 1 he is for some reason on the ice and SCORING game winning goals.

Lapierre? Seriously? Again more useless shit. Yeah he was a bitch in Montreal, but he has basically shut his mouth in Vancouver because he knows this is basically his last chance. He is second in penalties to Boston's Lucic, and Lucic has been tossed from the game.

Boston will never live down the bite by Burrows. Is kind of funny though. Burrows is Burrows, and you just live with him.


Vancouver as been a hated team, probably because this year more then any other year, people from Canada are willing to say Boston is the Canadian team rather then the team located in the boarders. You didn't see that in Ottawa/Anaheim, and we all remember jumping on the Red Sea (though I didn't and won a massive pool because of it).

The Canucks are really hard to like, though. The diving and antics of guys like Lapierre and Burrows rubs people the wrong way. Torres is in that same group but I will agree that he has been playing great the last two series.

Boston is much more likeable. I have friends who wanted the Canucks to win because some idiots find moral victory in "losing to the Stanley Cup champs," but after watching this series they all hate the Canucks.

I just hate that type of reporting because I think it makes the game look bad its self. There is so many angles the writer could have went but he went what I would say is the 'sore loser' route. At the end of the series, if Vancouver wins, it will be all about 2 things. Van's win, and Thomas's play. None of this other crap is going to matter, and I very much doubt the Burrows chomp goes anywhere down the line, other then a fun thing Boston fans will do any time Vancouver comes to town.

I picked Vancouver to win it at the start, so I want them to win based on that. But other then that, it has been a very good series to watch, and when your team isn't in it, that is all that matters.

I haven't liked Torres since.. ever. He was a shmuck in Buffalo and will be a shmuck wherever he goes.

 

[leaffan]

Joe Haggarty's articles for the most part are awful. I think I'd rather read a leaf bashing article by damien cox lol.

With that said I really have doubts about vancouver closing it out tonight. I simply don't believe them hoisting the cup in boston is going to happen.

I'm at the point that I hate burrows once again. I remember I hated that little dickhead big time last year but he really didn't do all that much this year but he's back in full form. Lappiere might end up being the worst trade the canucks could of made at the deadline. The dude is just such a cock smoker he just seems like more of a cancer to a team then anything. I remember some of my canadien buddies were happy to see him gone and for good reason.

I don't see anything wrong with the reporting because it is largely based on facts. And he wasn't making any excuses on behalf of Boston so I don't think he's going the "sore loser" route, either.

He's just talking about the way the Canucks have been playing and how they have transformed themselves into one of the most hated teams in northern America and I have to agree with him.

At the end of the day, some people will only remember the Champion and Tim Thomas' play, but I guarantee you a lot of hockey fans and teams will hate the Canucks for a long time when it's all said and done.

lol did you read the article?

The Canucks may win the Cup, and they may even celebrate on the Garden ice Monday. Or they might just crumble like a spineless hockey team visibly afraid to play in a hostile atmosphere on the road.

lol @ the spineless comment.

People are just hating them because they're winning. If they aren't where they are now no one would give to shits about them. That's how it is with people and the Red Wings, too.

Doesn't really have to do with winning.

Torres, Burrows and Lapierre are pretty much fucking faggots no matter what colors they are wearing.

Nucks should go get Avery and call out Ville Niemenen from retirement and roll the complete 5 man cunt line.

My main dislike for the Canucks is that their fans have been useless wankers this entire playoffs season.

Eh there really wasn't any hate till they really started the diving and all that nonsense. When you have players like Kesler on your team who literally battle everything out and never take a dive once vs the sedins acting like they got shot the hate does start to brew.

The only hate people have on the wings is they are boring as hell to watch lol.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEERE WEEEEEEE GO!

Wahey! Get out of the paint Lou.
