NHL 2013 SEASON IS GO!

Calder to dud..I think with his pro-rated contract he makes 9-10mil this year, and I let him know when i'm at the games :lol:
 
Jesus, what an awful performance. Hope the Wings can make a trade for a legitimate defense-man because I can't take seeing this inability to get the puck out of the defensive zone.

Also I don't think I've ever missed Franzen this much before :c

Also feel really bad for the Sens, brutal injury to Karlsson
 
Does Cleary have nudes of Babcock or something? There is absolutely NO reason he should be on the first line...or the team even. It boggles my mind that he is seeing more goddamn ice time than Tatar who was mostly outstanding tonight. How does someone with 3 points over 5 games get less ice time than someone with ONE in 14 games? HOW? Cleary is a goddamn black hole sucking up any offensive chances we might get...Tatar has been dynamic.

Flip - Z - Brunner
Franzen - Dats - Nyquist
Tatar - Helm - Tootoo
Gator - Sheahan - Ferraro

Run with this line up and I assure you this teams offensive woes will vanish, until Helm is healthy though you've got to try Sheahan at 3rd line center and keep up Emmerton (who has proven himself worthy of his roster spot this season - crazy since he was mostly awful last year)

Our defense will still be garbage, but at least we'll be able to consistently score.

I change my mind about the previous wanting Lashoff paired with Kronwall - Lashoff is clearly not good enough a defender to let Kronwall be himself. Then again Kronwall is just not good enough for the top pairing himself...BUT if you give him someone who can actually play defense then he can focus on just scoring and MAYBE just MAYBE stop making these stupid mistakes he's been doing all season.

AND if for some fucking reason Nyquist is sent back to the Griffins just so that some old fart can take his place after coming back from injury I swear I will find Holland's car and key it.

GODDAMNIT

I chose the worst season to come back as a serious hockey fan...

but I intend to stick to it... :( Just sucks seeing a team I can tell has what it takes to make at least a puddle splash instead having some asshole ride down the road after a rain storm and soaking them with road water from a dip in the surface
 
Got to hang out in the VIP room today for the local sports radio Sportsfest and met Lidstrom and Holmstrom, got Wings hat autographed by them both. Was barely able to speak haha
 
Ha ha. Yeah shake his hand and then you wouldve stabbed him.

Anyone hear the Habs announcer tonite (habs v flyers) about the 15" mark of the first period. Not knowing he was still on the micro during a mini break he cleared his throat and it sounded like he was hurling up a fur-ball. Thought that was funny a shit!

Are we talking about the French announce team?
 
nah, i never heard it, probably would of laughed my ass off too lol...


How about them Habs? Silencing critics currently and I love it. I knew all along that last year they were underachieving. Of course a new identity has helped. A coach who has improved so much since his first stint with the habs. And it so helps when you have a healthy Markov/Gionta, a resurgent Rene Bourque. And the two youngsters Galchenyuk and Gallagher have been phenomenal!

I like how comfortable the team is with a close game, last year it seemed they always crumbled. Not the case this year.
 
Well I think the critics were on them for maybe good reasons...for starters underachieving as you mentioned. Its mainly in the past.

Regardless, Habs are a much improved team this year that's tougher to play against for sure. I'm not sold completely on them but the conference is wide open this year...who knows
 
True, It's been pretty interesting so far.

Playoff race should be interesting once we get to the half way point.
 
so more weiss rumors are coming about, wonder what is going on here...if we make a trade for weiss we could run something like

Z - Dats - Brunner
Flip - Weiss - Franzen
Tatar - Helm - Nyquist
Abdelkader - Emmerton - Miller

Assuming we would trade someone like Jurco or Pulkkinen, and a 2nd round pick, and maybe someone like Eaves

I don't think this would happen, since I don't know that Florida would get enough out of the deal... I imagine they'd at least want Flip
 
Went to the Blues game last night. They lacked good aggression but still pulled out the win.
That's why the Hawks keep winning. They are super aggressive. I I didn't hate them they would be a fun team to watch.
 
man was tonight a brilliant game. 8-3 against those damn nooks brunner had a monster night, kronwall was great, and our defense played a solid game

another game without Quincey on ice, and another dominant win
