2013 NHL Season Thread: TUUKKA RASK, HE'S FROM FINLAND, AND IS INELIGIBLE TO BECOME MAYOR

[bluefan]

Yakupov blows his lid and goes after the Av's player for trying an empty netter in the dying seconds lol. Now I'm starting to see him as a whiner.

[Cail]

Cail what is in your avatar and why is it canucks colors?

I dont know if youre serious but gtfo

[Ishido]

After last night Wings PP is up 5 spots to 24th in the league! PK is down 1 spot to 27th. 5 on 5 they are miraculously a good team.

I expect penalties, and a lot of disappointment no matter who takes them.

[Thoronas]

Whoever does the CBC opening intros is great.

[Anton]

I got a statement for ya CBC - Gunnarson's out. We are so fucked

[Cail]

Of course I want to watch the Rangers game tonight, and of course its on MSG+...

[Ratatapa]

This Will be a hard one

Do I wantnthenleafs to get closer to the habs
Or
The bruins getting farther from the habs

Now why can't American people sing the National Anthem like this? They always gotta make it their own shitty song.

And boo the Canadian anthem. Classy folks, one and all.

Glen Healy "I'd just like to take this pause to self-promote while I fellate the Boston Bruins" Yeah we all fucking love you too

Fucking Healy, his verbal horseshit makes my blood boil

[Hitoru]

radio for me yet again on this game, but cmon Boston!

[Cail]

Erskine suspended 3 games

[Anton]

Fucking great. After specifically matching our 4th line of Orr-Steckel-McLaren against the Bruins' third... boston blows through them like they didn't exist in the neutral zone, centers the pass, and no one cuts it off. 1-0 Bruins.

Hey, Boston's a physical team, but do they load up a line with useless punching dummies? No, they don't. Yet that seems how we get 'tougher' in Toronto.

[Hitoru]

Bourque chose a good time to get his first as a Bruin, I can say that much.

edit: annnd dodged a bullet there.

[Anton]

OH COME ON Tuukka Rask isn't even is his freaking crease! He gets knocked over in front, gee how did that happen

Oh yeah, Kelley shoved a Leaf into the goalie because he left his crease. Goalie interference my ass

Hate to say I agree here, but I do. Like I said, dodged a bullet on that one hah.

If you didn't see that, I might have suggested we weren't watching the same game.

Hokkey Rep +1. That GI call was, in fact, the shit of a horse

Whatever though. Like I said, terrible officiating all season.

[Anton]

It's kind of scary how easy it is for Boston to thread passes on us. Even when we're between the mark and the puck, the passes are reaching the front of the net.

And your goalie started it, by skating up to the hashmarks before getting decked

But aye, I hear this. I'm not loving the officiating much, but I've never remotely liked the No Goal/No Review/Pussy penalty. It's even worse when one team has a guy in the box because of what is usually nothing more than the goalie getting shoved over.

[Cail]

Flyers learned how to score apparently. Which is good cuz fuck Carolina

[Cail]

I think Izzy would be mad if you called Rask his goalie...
