2012 NHL Offseason Thread: ROCK OUT WITH YOUR LOCKOUT

[Brill Weave]

Luckily my wife has already agreed that if we have a son he's lacing up the skates and grabbing a stick.

My fiancée is already afraid I'm going to blow half our disposable income on hockey pads for our future rugrats. It's not that I'm going to force them to like hockey, it's that they'll like hockey if they want any love and attention from their father.

Baseball's cheaper!

Within the first year of me starting to play street hockey, I had (along with my friends) to replace 3 different people's garage windows with plexiglass.

Totally worth it.

[Dolmen]

I miss the high school days of running up to Hechinger's or Home Depot and buying a bunch of PVC to build regulation size nets. I always played inline hockey growing up as ice hockey was insanely expensive (~$2500/season), but free if you were a goalie.

Nick Foligno 3 years 9.15 mill with the jackets

[Brill Weave]

Wow. That seems a bit high imo.

[Thoronas]

It's the blue jackets.

[Brill Weave]

Yeah for a second there I thought we were dealing with a competent GM lol.

[NynJa]

I missed all the talk about disowning daughters...told my gf the same thing, but not for entirely the same reason. I really dont want to have to deal with the whole 12-18 year old drama/sneakingout bullshit, on top of the fact that instead of playing sports and video games and doing FUN things, its gonna be "barbies" and what not, fuck that.

Foligno's a legit top 6 guy. 3 mil isn't too much. He's gonna breakout in CBJ with actual PP time IMO.

Can't tell if serious....

Totally agree, dude has skill and it's a good contract.

Don't hate just because it's Howson, bros.

[Palin]

Can't tell if serious....

He had 47 points last year with no PP time at all. What's so crazy about thinking he could have a breakout year? He's a legit PWF.

[Brill Weave]

I'm not sold on Foligno. Sorry. He played well with decent players around him. Let's see how he does with the wasteland that is Columbus.

Fucking 5:30 AM practices growing up in CT; hockey parents are the Ultimate Ninja Warriors of parents

How bout 5am practices BEFORE school every day and then 4pm practices 3 days a week.

wait....

[Sepukku]

It was too fucking hard to score last year without doing a cheesy borderline-glitch move or a 2-on-1 one-timer, why are they upping goalies again this year?
