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

[Sepukku]

Oh I know, like I said, I have no interest on starting on anything above a 250 lol. Kid in my graduating class ended up killing himself on a sports bike, and I have no interest in being #2.

Someone who played with one of my teammates in the past on a different team at Hotshots Roller Hockey and Bills Dek's Hockey I guess passed away this past week when he wrecked his bike. Crazy stuff.

[Thoronas]

Canucks lost one of their best young four years ago due to him getting killed riding his bike into an oncoming semi.

I thought he died in a boating accident? Assuming its the same player? Drafted 10th over all in 2005. Luc B something.

[NynJa]

They've said they won't start talks until July. Not panicking yet.

Also more likely to see expansion than retraction.

Dont need more fucking teams spreading out the talent pool.

Yeah luc bourdon. He was friends with burrows. He died on a highway in. In nova scotia I think when a heavy wind pushed his bike into oncoming traffic.

Sounds like a good cover for "was inebriated and steered his bike into oncoming traffic." He was also BFFs with Kris Letang.

But NHL players are straight-edge and don't drink or do drugs.

Looks like he just landed a triple lutz lol.

Patrick Kane.

According to team doctors Mike Sauer returning at all doesnt look good. What an absolute shame....hope Dion Phaneuf sustains an inoperable knee injury or something along those lines.


And gabby was hurt all playoffs long and will require surgery this offseason. And then he took a shot at Gaborik saying that Kovalchuk has been playing with a herniated disc.

For a clean hit, and Sauer not having his helmet attached properly? Sauer's the idiot.

For those wondering about the hit

I remember that hit... I even .gif'd it.

That's head down, not paying attention, and running into someone a whole lot bigger than you. Nothing dirty about that.

Edit: Re-Re-Rewatching. Hands hit chest, body-to-body, but Sauer never saw it coming and that was the difference. Also the helmet flying off like it was a baseball cap probably didn't help Sauer much.

[NynJa]

I cant see anything wrong with that hit at all on phaneufs end

[BadKarma]

<---bitter Rangers fan herpderp. But still fuck Phaneuf, easily the most overrated defenseman in the game right now.

[Callisto]

Really he didn't even hit him that hard, it was just that he banked off the wall and then onto the ice so he took three impacts in half a second...

[Bregor]

Protip: Keep your head up there, Lindros.

[Vaspinne]

This.

His best year was his first year with the Flames which was in 05/06 right after the lockout with all the new rule changes and a ton of opportunity for him to play, and score, on the PP. As players adjusted to the rules and the game picked up in speed, his game has decreased more and more to a good standard mediocre level

Overrated, or overpaid? If you're voted most overrated player in the game according to your peers, it's a bit of a paradox in that if it's know you're overrated, by definition, you can't be.

NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN. Next we're going to have Palin coming in here spewing garbage about Loui Erikkson being most underrated 4 straight times.
