The Random Hockey Thoughts Thread

[Sharkweather]

someone explain to me wtf was going on with the guy who blatantly slapped his goalie with his stick? was that real or so fucking blantant, that he should be suspended the whole year?

You watching SportsCenter too? Since it was just on, I came in here looking for a post about it.

The Vokoun thing. I lol'd at that. Only because it messed up Wr50l's fantasy team for this week.

Basically after the goal the defender was pissed and went to break his stick over the post. Instead though he nailed his goalie in the head. Pretty dumb move but he was probably pissed and wasn't thinking.

They are announcing the canadian jr. selection camp.

Khadri you better play decent in this.

 

[leaffan]

and the monster is sidelined again with more heart troubles.

Guy is only 24!

Watching the devils/canucks game.

Why does New Jersey even have an NHL team. There is no one in the stands.

Leafs trade Tlusty to Carolina for Philippe Paradis. Paradis was Carolina's first round pick this past year and is only 18 years old.

Tlusty is 21 and apparantly plays soft and burke was trying to get rid of him. Main problem people were hearing was Tlusty wanted in the NHL now and was threatning to goto the KHL. He basically didn't want to be a part of a rebuilding team.

Here's the level of idiocy I deal with from my fellow Flyers fans...this was a response to a report that Scott Hartnell may be traded to break up the 'Old City Crew' of young Flyers players on the team:

"It would not suprise me if the team is still struggling say come Feb 15, that Richards, Carter AND Hartnell are all moved. Get some first round picks back, maybe some "decent" players on expiring contracts, and they will use the money to bring in some good talent when UFAs hit the market. We have what 14 million dollars tied up in these 3 guys...add Gagne to the mix as well assuming he is finally willing to waive that NTC."

Yea, trade your captain, a 50 goal scorer, and one of your two players who likes to camp in front of the net, and start rebuilding a team that just traded for Pronger and was picked to compete for the cup......ugh

Philadelphia is so funny.

I would willingly infect myself with HIV to have Mike Richards signed as long-term New York Ranger.

Leafs are playing some good hockey. They are actually cheering at the end of periods at the ACC. That doesn't happen to often.

I hope they pound the bruins tomorrow because now with toskla playing decent it shouldn't be no 7 or 8 goal blow out.

Wings sucked last night.
Absolutely sucked.

Conklin played great in net for the Blues though...

Toskala:

 

[wr50l]

Sather's New York Rangers:

Fixed.

Winless in five, pathetic in five. A much deserved "Fire Sather" chant last night was about all the Garden could muster.

The catalogue of problems this team faces is huge.

 

[Krebs]

:nope:

used to be one if i remember, mcstl or something but havent seen him in a while

 

[leaffan]

Zetterberg/Cleary should be coming back on tues.

 

[warrior9669]

Any St. Louis Blues fans on the boards?

Oshie Fan, not so much of the blues.

 

[wr50l]

Tyler Myers the 6' 8" 220 lb defenceman for Buffalo ... He's just under 20 years old and if you look at his frame you can see his still has a load of bulk to add. He is going to be huge, and strike fear into players' hearts like only Zdeno can.
:crutch:

 

[leaffan]

I turned the game off. 3/3 on the PP for buffalo. Just can't watch it tonight.

LOL @ the lights going off during the Devils game. Been delayed for an hour and a half. Dudes seem so confused.

There you have it. Trap game and the greatest goalie of all time = hockey so boring they shut the arena early.

 

[leaffan]

33rd time tonight the other team has scored on the leafs first.

Here we go again.
