2011-2012 NHL Playoff Thread: MOOSE NOOSE ON THE LOOSE

[Chips]

So Edmonton gets Yakupov. God f-ing damnit

[Judai]

EDM employing the PIT rebuilding process. HOW YOU LIKE THEM APPLES BURKE

[Brill Weave]

I give it 4 years tops. Especially if Hall and RNH end up playing like Eberle did this season. If that's what can be expected from Eberle he's looking at at 5.5 - 6 million a year. At least.

[Wulfgang]

Haha poor Jackets; Oilers getting kinda stacked

[bluefan]

Winnipeg may pick Dumba.

I like him. Physical defender like Bogosian.

[Brill Weave]

And how's Bogosian working out for you?

[Chips]

And how's Bogosian working out for you?

Work in progress, he'll be a beauty

[bluefan]

And how's Bogosian working out for you?

Very well. His +/- last year was like -27 or something. -3 this season. Career year in points. And he's getting a lot more physical. Absolutely destroyed a couple players this year. And he's still only 21.

[vagus]

You're absurd if you think thats fair. Schneider for #1. Edmonton doesn't have any D-depth to surrender anyways LOL

Ya i know. It's the one thing Edmonton needs. Lol.

[Ivaden]

Eberle, Hall, RNH, Yakupov. Gotdayum.

[Ivaden]

Think I found my team in the West. Hey Richy, buddy, how ya' doin'?

[Ishido]

Edmonton needs to do some work on the backend through FAs, if they do they should be a pretty fucking great team soon.

Spoiler: show

should lol

[Palin]

My god. 3 years in a row. Edmonton is the new Pittsburgh.

I think they'll trade down. They need D-men badly. even though they have some solid blueliners in their system, none of them are the #1 variety. They're all complimentary D-men. Plus having Eberle, Nail, Hall, and RHN might be too expensive down the line. I wouldn't be surprised if they move down to 2nd or 3rd.

[vagus]

Hall will injure himself again. Dude plays like he's bigger then he is. RNH is still tiny and needs to eat some chicken. Eberle is the real star. However should be interesting the next few years. Oil still need a few d-men and a goalie.

[Richybear]

Dubnyk stepped up at the end a bit, but still not #1 material.
lolRe-Khab

But we need D, everyone knows this.

While Yakupov is the sheer offensive talent that any team wants, who knows if bringing in yet another 5'11" 190 pound player is the way to go.
Unless they just go 80's style and "What's a goalie? We'll let in 6, but we'll just go score 7+ then." type thing.

[aurik]

lol at how mad.

I said nothing about SJ getting out of the first round (though I believe, Blues have cooled off lately and SJ looks healthy and ready for the second season), just that the preds are gonna stomp detroit this time.

[Brill Weave]

I want to cry. A garage owner I'm friends with just offered me two tickets for the game tomorrow night. But I can't go because there's nobody to cover me. I am so disappoint I can't even vocalize it.

[Callisto]

Jesus christ, the only team to have a worse year than CBJ was Lokomotiv

Not quoting you to respond to anything you said, but man, NYR fanbase has some awesome playoff avatars at HF this year. Fuckin' love the Giorgio TsoukaTortorella photoshops. The SOPO shit the Pens fans came up with is just... ugh.

[isladar]

speaking of new avatars, testing testing one two tchree
