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

[CrosisX]

She's not that attractive in my opinion, but I'd be lying if I said I would turn her down. Those boobs are once in a lifetime experience without 400 lbs extra weight behind them on some mouth-breathing otaku girl.

I second that thought. I might have to paper bag that face though.

[NynJa]

With tits like that...what face?

[Deader2818]

Oversized implants just don't do it for me. Esp with a face like that.

[CrosisX]

Guess this has turned into the duck or fuck thread right now.

[Palin]

She was hotter in the DoBeor gif than she is anywhere else, esp her twitter pics.

Hey, it's hockey related. The national networks were talking about her too lol. Even radio stations I hear (yeah I went there).

But even if the opportunity presented itself, I wouldn't touch her with a ten foot poll. Nothing to do with looks, it's just that she's a Leafs fan.

I've actually been hearing a lot recently Staal and Martin to Carolina for Skinner and their 1st round pick. I would be ok with that.

This would be insane levels of overpayment by Carolina.

I would prefer Staal to Skinner..... just saying. 1st for Martin is robbery though. Enjoy that awful contract with a soft defender who can neither manage the PP at an elite level nor bomb it on net from the blueline when it is on his tape. Not to mention Carolina should know we got tons of D-depth ready to go and that we're looking to dump someone from the 7-man unit that 'played' in the 1st round.

1 year of Staal =/= Skinner

Jeff Skinner scored more as a rookie than Jordan Staal has his entire career.. Staal may be a good #2 and Selke, but he's UFA in a year. Jeff Skinner scored 30 goals and 60 points as an 18 year old.

[Callisto]

I would take Skinner over Staal in an instant, that's not even debatable lol

Staal scored 29 goals in his rookie year, as an 18 year old. You're fucking stupid man. You walked right into that.

He's scored or paced for 21+ goals every season except his second (age 19, 2007-2008 season), including this past season when he scored 25 goals and paced for 33 had he played 82 instead 62. He also led the team in shooting percentage and in the playoffs, led the team in points and goals. You actually hear about his defensive skills so damn much his offensive talent gets lost in translation.

A 25-30 goal scorer on the third line and 2nd PP unit (so 30-35, quite possibly 40 with 1st line/1st PP unit) with top 10 defensive skills from all the forwards in the NHL versus a 25-30 goal scorer who has a lot smaller sample size and regressed in his second season (admittedly, like Staal, but theres no guarantee Skinner bounces back to rookie year form - Buffalo is still waiting on Tyler Myers to regain the future-Norris-winner potential he displayed rookie year) and got his 25-30 goals while playing top 6 / 1st PP unit time and can't play defense.

OH and here's the BEST PART. JEFF SKINNER HAS BEEN CONCUSSED TWICE. DO YOU THINK THE PENS WANT SOME MORE OF THAT?!

Its a Center-oriented league nowadays.

Selke-candidate Center who posts slightly lower than option B offensively and has no repeated injury of the same body area.

Defensively-inept winger with small sample size trending downward and has a repeated injury to the head.

Also:

Jordan Staal has 23 career playoff goals in 73 career playoff games.

Jeff Skinner has 0 career playoff goals in 0 career playoff games.

Or does experience not matter?

Like injury history does not matter?

And defensive skills don't matter?

Jeff Skinner scored 2 more goals OMGWTF#1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

[isladar]

don't make me moderate the goddamn hackey thread

[Sepukku]

I thought the last 4 lines read out a lot more entertaining and illuminating when each in their own post as you scroll down through them; forcing the reader to consider how much evidence these Skinner over Staal supporters were ignoring.

[Mote]

I hope this turns into an actual thing

[Mote]

Which isn't to say I think skinner is a more valuable player, but the trade is not skinner for staal. It's a package that would help the pens reload and sort out some of their defensive glut, and solves what they must see as a signabilty issue with staal.

[Sepukku]

You're all morons, every last one of you. Staal is a more valuable player than Skinner. You're all just fapping over Skinner being a fast, handsy guy like Patrick Kane. But everyone would take Toews over Kane, even the old Kane that looked like he'd be scoring 40 goals a year every year.

[BadKarma]

Or you just have Jordan's semen in your eyes. It could be that.

[Sepukku]

ITT:

Supposed hockey 'fans' claiming an undersized, defensively unreliable winger with a repeated concussion history and comparable stats, with no playoff experience, and has been nominated for nothing but the Calder Trophy as best rookie is better than a behemoth center with top notch defensive skills, several NHL records, 73 career playoff games including 13 in the Stanley Cup Finals, a stanley Cup Final ring, a Selke nomination... and oh yeah, a Calder Trophy nomination of his own.

[Thoronas]

So sepp has moved on from Fleury to Staal now? I look forward to seeing Staal score an own goal in a game 7 next season.
