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

[vagus]

Fan 590 says the deal may already be done...

I tell you what, if he takes 3 million a year. I see no downside

Radulov = 2013 version of Marian Gaborik? Epic regular season then epic failure in the playoffs. 3M for Radulov isn't bad, but i think the NYR could & should find someone better.

Still hoping they really go hard after Nash. I dont like the idea of another "sniper" I think we need someone who can crash the net and score 35 goals a year. That fits more with out style

And to be fair, Gaborik was chided on his performance when he was playing with a torn labrum. I feel stupid for criticizing him now

Tim Thomas has 3 "good years" of goaltending (thanks to Chara) and acts like he's been an all star goaltender for 15 years.


I dont think chided is the right word there BK?

2 Vezinas and a Stanley cup in a 4 year career is better then anything 2 of the 3 best goalies in the league have done. (Lundqvist and Rinne)

[Richybear]

4 year NHL career after getting passed around like a drunken frat queen from age 20 ~ 33

[Judai]

Apparently Thomas is actually taking time off because he thinks the world is doomed to a massive economic failure soon.

I blame Greece.

[Thoronas]

The fact that Thomas is a doomer is just hilarious. Would love to see what his survival compound is going to look like.

"I knew I shouldn't have had my contract paid out in Bre-X stock!"

[Ratatapa]

Well maybe boston will buy Bryzgalov contract of Philly!

[vagus]

Think Tim Thomas will make the HOF? Also, Tim Thomas vs. Chris Osgood?

[Richybear]

Osgood.
Hands down Osgood > Thomas

Edit: Sorry, did that in a rush. But 3 Stanley Cups vs 1. 400+ Wins vs < 200.
According to my Nightfyre math, pWIN and dCUP stats have the numbers coming out higher in Osgood's favour.

[bluefan]

Osgood.

Just the fact that he could walk away from a fight against Roy should make him a shoe in.

You would think if the econonmy is going to take a huge downfall, you'd want to make as much money as you can for you and your family, not take a year off, lol.

[Izzy]

I guess he's saying that all money is going to be worthless and we should all start gathering moon rocks as currency.

[CrosisX]

He's really taking a year off because he's batman.

[Brill Weave]

Realistically the man is what 38 years old? There's got to be something more to this. Taking a year off at 38 is pretty much code for I'm about to retire etc.

[Judai]

He's really taking a year off because he's batman.

That would make him cool, so no.

I love that his brilliant idea in the face of potential economic downfall is to quit his job and make sure there is even less money flowing into the economy. Fucking smart dude.

[Sepukku]

I thought he was taking a year off cause Obama's fetus massacre made Syria look Sesame Street.
