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

[Ishido]

The various cheers of hockey are awesome and if you hate them you are probably a communist and a miserable person.

Having a full Wrigley Field cheering during the anthem was fucking awesome.

Anderson turned, probably saw Kreider coming and made sure to try and draw a penalty by increasing the chance of contact. Regardless, Kreider had no reason to skate through the crease, in between two players at that, it was his own fault.

It just pisses me off to no end when Refs fuck shit up badly, they completely changed the game with that 5 on 3 and anyone who tries to claim they didn't is just foolish. I think part of the reason reffing is so bad in most sports is because nobody is really willing to call out the leagues on how terrible some calls are and how they actually do change a game. People spend a few mins on it and then say, well they could have come back or they need to kill that penalty, or w/e.

In honor of the Kings getting out of the first round, I am going to buy my self a new jersey since I don't have a new one. I don't know which to get. If I get Quick, its 20 dollars more just because its not one of the pre-made ones ;/

When you try to call out the refs in the NHL, you get fined.

Unless you are buying game quality jersey don't bother getting it from NHL.

[Palin]

There's your makeup call.

Yea, it's bullshit, but I'm talking more the media. If they really lit the refs up, the NHL would probably look deeper into fixing the quality and consistency of reffing. Of course, they can't even be consistent in their discipline, so lol@that idea.

and make-up calls are fucking bullshit, especially when it's a make-up for a make-up and already after you completely changed the momentum and 2 goals were scored.

[Callisto]

holy first shift

Cheapest place I could find a jersey. Haven't found any shop in south jersey that sells Kings jerseys and letter.

Hawks #1 line lookin' pretty Sharp



...it's the others that scare me sometimes.


Another Coyote D bites the dust.

If mainstream analysts call out the refs they'd likely get ostracized pretty bad, best we're going to get is bloggers, and even then the ones that actually are granted close to press access aren't going to risk it either.

[Callisto]

where the fuck was this Hawks team the first four games

[Anton]

MAH GAWD The hawks are coming out of the gate swinging

Just broke through into the Chat. Im BubbaLou

[Selamis]

Where the fuck has this intensity been all series?!

I know Jesee Spector routinely calls the refs out for their inconsistency. Think he works for The Sporting News.

I'm fairly certain that Quenneville's moustache has threatened all of the players' loved ones

Definitely spend the extra $20 for a name. The authentic NHL jerseys are great and it's worth saving for one to wear for the next 20 years. I have bought three authentic jerseys: 1) Weber from 2007/08 design, 2) Suter thirds jersey this year (may regret this one haha), and 3) Rinne new yellow home jersey for the ex-girlfriend. They are expensive, but they are also really nice. I wear my Weber jersey like all the fucking time and there is no loose stitching / peeling labels / etc and I rock that thing on some fucking crazy nights out.

As an aside, I FUCKING LOVE HOCKEY JERSEYS! Seriously, I get a lot of flack from my non-hockey friends for wearing my Preds jersey too often, but fuck them. Hockey jerseys with a t-shirt underneath are extraordinarily comfortable. You can wear that shit comfortably with nothing else in temperatures from like 35-85 degrees.

Yeah but like an NBC analyst, with the TV deal in place they'd have a lot to lose. Hell Milbury got muzzled just for saying mean things about the Pens.

[Deader2818]

Actually, anyone here know of a good site where I can get a jersey with pro lettering/number and all that that is cheaper then the NHL site? They want 159.99 for one if its already made, 179.99 if I want a custom. I can't afford authentic. Those are almost 400 freaking dollars, lol.
