National Hockey League 2012-13

Hearing rumors about Gaborik to Columbus?

Eta: looks like for Brassard, Dorsett and Moore...

 

[PhilsFan]

They finally got a good goalie in Bobrovsky, but he had a bad postseason (along with everyone) in 2011 so Snider panicked and demanded a trade for a franchise goalie. That would be Bryzgalov. His contract made it impossible to keep both of them, so they dealt him for a pick. The team is likely going to amnesty Bryzgalov's deal anyway, so we traded a potential franchise goaltender for nothing and are going to waste Giroux's prime bullshitting around with no defense and no goalie. I hate sports.

As a leaf fan, I feel your pain, we traded away Rask to Boston for Andrew Raycroft years ago and we still haven't fully recovered.

 

[PhilsFan]

Plus, BOBROVSKY was the number one cop on the force.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Heh. Andrew Raycroft.

Makes me glad that we have Jacob Markstrom. He's looking really, really promising.

 

[BoMac]

The Flyers traded for Steve Mason, which is like the saddest goddamn thing they could have done.

Ben Bishop was *right* there.

 

[BoMac]

Although, it's interesting how some teams seem to like trading with each other. Columbus and NYR, for example.

With that said, I wouldn't be shocked if Holmgren and Hextall get together in the summer and Philly flips Mason to LA for Jonathan Bernier.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Ottawa got fleeced. Conacher has been impressive but let's be honest... he benefited from lining with Stamkos and St. Louis. He might be 2nd in rookie scoring, but he's a far cry from the 2nd best rookie.

 

[Hewson]

Stars should have traded Jagr to the Rangers instead of the Bruins so he could have played alongside Brad Richards. You know the Jagr/Richards line would be a hit.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Wow, you think Ryan Clowe is happy with the trade?

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Nick Bjugstad to play Sunday for the Panthers. Straight from NCAA to the NHL. Really excited! He's my favorite prospect of ours.

Har Har.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Thank jesus there are no shootouts in the playoffs, we wouldn't stand a chance otherwise.





I can't believe i used the p-word....

 

[BoMac]

I hope Martin Brodeur never wins another game. He won his 666th game on March 23 and then lost 9 in a row. How awesome would it be if he continues losing, then retires after the season with that number? #Devils

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Yeah, I think I could handle a Toronto/Montreal first round series

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Omg, how can Devils fans watch an entire season of those types of games? Soooo-ooo boring.

 

[Hewson]

And Brodeur still stuck at 666.

[BoMac]

Wasn't there a Devils fan in here that was angry with me once and posted an angry photo of himself in facepaint? Or was it a Lightning fan?

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Face painted fans are ridiculous.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

El Diablo!

 

[Hewson]

Gotta support your team.

 

[BoMac]

There is a report that the NHL will hold SIX outdoor games next season: one in Ann Arbor, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Chicago, and two games in New York.

Overkill is perhaps too light a word in this case.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Can they just stick one in Orlando between the Panthers and Lightning already? Citrus Bowl.

Sheesh.

 

[bono_man2002]

Might have to plan my trip to Vancouver in March then

All at the same time?

 

[LuckyNumber7]

All at the same time?

No, spread out through what sounds like January and March.

 

[BoMac]

If anyone didn't see tonight's Bruins opening, rectify that and find a clip of it. WOW.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

If they pull this shit again this year I swear to god...

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Playoffs. Its going to take some getting used to.
