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

[Palin]

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.

[Palin]

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

Are you fucking retarded? Skinner scored 31 as a rookie, Staal has never scored more than 30. Skinner had 63 points as a rookie. Staal just hit 50 points for the first time THIS YEAR.

Also anyone remember this?:

Not allowing Jordan Staal for Ryan Kesler.... they're not on the same level....

A 40+ goal scorer who will get 20-30 PPPs and 150+ Hits versus a 20 goal scorer who will get 10 PPPs and 75 Hits. There's a reason one's ranked like 40th and the other 170th in Yahoo.

You heard it here folks. Staal's only a 20 goal scorer. But wait didn't he just say Staal is a 25-30 guy? WHICH IS IT?!!

ENGAGED.

[BadKarma]

A+ trolling guys. Sep probably broke his keyboard in a fit of rage.

[Mote]

So, yeah, there's a game tonight. Kings wrap it up?

[Deader2818]

So the city of Glendale, AZ recently had to lay a lot of people off, increases taxes, and cut a ton of services to cover 35 million budget gap they have, 25 million of that is the price to keep the coyotes in Glendale. On top of that, the new deal that they passed, will pay the owner 203 million over a course of 20 years, and in the same time they will only get 45 million back in revenue.

I really don't get why they want to keep this team around. Seems even if they do, so many people in the area will hate them for costing them jobs, losing them services, and increasing their taxes.

I would like one more to be honest. Then once that's done, I can start watching my CFL pre-season on Wednesday.

You wanna laugh Sep?

This is from a loljournalist from RDS in QC

L’arrivée de Michel Therrien a plusieurs avantages. C’est un entraîneur qui est reconnu pour replacer des organisations, comme ce fut le cas avec les Penguins de Pittsburgh à son arrivée en 2005.
À l’époque, les Penguins avaient la réputation d’être une “country club” et il fallait complètement reconstruire cette organisation.
C’est lui qui a défriché le terrain et qui a fait en sorte que les Penguins sont redevenus une équipe de premier plan dans la LNH et Dan Bylsma doit encore le remercier aujourd’hui.
La réalité c’est que si les Penguins ont réussi à gagner la coupe Stanley en 2009, il y avait beaucoup de Michel Therrien dans les succès de cette équipe, même s’il avait été congédié en février de la même année.
Justement, parlant des Penguins, si on pousse la réflexion plus loin, il est évident que le directeur général, Ray Shero, doit regarder ce qui se passe à Montréal en se disant qu’il est grand temps de régler le dossier de Sidney Crosby.
Ce dernier était un partisan du Canadien plus jeune et a comme agent Pat Brisson, un très grand ami de Marc Bergevin.
Crosby a toujours avoué qu’il a bien aimé travailler avec Michel Therrien, la preuve c’est qu’il l’a contacté pour le féliciter de sa nomination à Montréal et si Sidney Crosby devait changer de camp, il arriverait en terrain connu à Montréal.
Évidemment on peut se permettre de rêver. La réalité c’est que Sidney Crosby a une autre année de contrat et il est évident que les Penguins vont tout faire pour le garder et avec raison.
Reste que Montréal est bien positionnée et on ne sait jamais ce que l’avenir nous réserve.



Translated version

The arrival of Michel Therrien has several advantages. This is a coach who is known for placing organizations, as was the case with the Pittsburgh Penguins on his arrival in 2005. At the time, the Penguins had a reputation as a "country club" and needed completely rebuilding this organization. It was he who cleared the land and made ​​sure that the Penguins have again become a top team in the NHL and Dan Bylsma has yet to thank him today. The reality is that if the Penguins were able to win the Stanley Cup in 2009, there were lots of Michel Therrien in the success of this team, even if he was fired in February of that year. Precisely, speaking of the Penguins, if we push the frontiers of thinking, it is clear that the general manager, Ray Shero, must watch what happens in Montreal and say it is high time to settle the matter of Sidney Crosby. He was a supporter of Canadian youngest and agent Pat Brisson, a great friend of Marc Bergevin. Crosby has always admitted that he enjoyed working with Michel Therrien, the evidence is that he contacted him to congratulate him on his appointment in Montreal and if Sidney Crosby had to switch sides, he would arrive in familiar territory to Montreal. Obviously we can afford to dream. The reality is that Sidney Crosby has another year of contract and it is clear that the Penguins will do everything to keep him and rightly so. Still, Montreal is secure and you never know what the future holds.

It's so gut wrenching to watch my former team still go through that. It's time to just put down the desert dogs, for their own good.

All they have to do is have a season ticket drive. Put your money where your mouths are Phoenix "fans".

[Deader2818]

If your team makes it to the WCF and you still have issues getting people to come, I really don't know what else you can do. Usually success is the major limiting factor in getting fans to come.

[Palin]

Well you won't know that until next season. Playoff success/non-success usually translates to the season thereafter.

[Cail]

time to close it out LA

[Cail]

oh boy, that ping was fucking loud

[Princessbubbles]

Holy fuck, the pace of this game is amazing, everyone came out firing like crazy

[Deader2818]

Elias is tough for coming back from having the wind knocked out of him?

[Princessbubbles]

I like how Gionta tried to sell that he got hurt, then instantly stopped when he realized he needed to be useful.

[Cail]

was hoping jornna went to the game, cuz itd be awesome for him

[Deader2818]

Don't have the money for it sadly.

[Flarega]

wow

[Cail]

Don't have the money for it sadly.

that sucks. and so does that
