2016-2017 NHL Regular Season Thread, Week 26: Holy Fuck Colorado Was Bad

[Obsidian]

Another game, another former Leaf almost guaranteed to light us up.

Prepare for the Steen hat trick.

There's the first one.

BETTER TRADE NYLANDER!




but for real, why is it he's always the guy in every trade scenario? (aside from like JVR)

[Obsidian]

The rookie with the fewest points of the big three and the persistent "he's lazy" rumours I guess, combined with our obvious need to upgrade the defense. But he has fewer points because he's been playing the third/fourth line most of the season.

I'm sure for the right price he could probably be had (we're shitting wingers anyway) but I don't think the team is keen to move him and it would cost you an arm and a leg to get him.

[Obsidian]

There's Steen's second point.

Zebra just took a puck to the head.

Hey, Oilers got shutout.... /shocked
Connor McSHOOTTHEFUCKINGPUCKGODFUCKINGDAMMIT
Every team has figured it out. Let him skate 97 km/h everywhere, he's gonna pass it anyway.
It's literally the only thing I can bitch about with him, but even the commentators are like "here's a highlight pack this game where he should've just put the puck on net." *montage*

[Obsidian]

Got spanked all over the ice again. Post-Allstar break games are not like pre-Allstar break games, time to wake up boys.

It took Crosby 10 years in the league to figure this out.

I mean, McDavid has 152 shots so far, which is good for 20th in the league, I'd say he shoots quite a bit tbh.

Hey, can someone change my fucking title since that cum guzzler Sep isnt gold anymore, please.

[Brill Weave]

Hey, can someone change my fucking title since that cum guzzler Sep isnt gold anymore, please.

Nope.

[Sepukku]

Hey, can someone change my fucking title since that cum guzzler Sep isnt gold for now, please.

FTFY

Watch a few games, the shots he'll take are weird floaters randomly. Which fine, he's looking for it to go to someone on a rebound. Other than that, he'll dangle around 2 or 3 players, then drop pass. Or if he's on a 2 on 1, just go cover the other player, he won't take the shot. Occasionally he'll do one of his big rushes and do it himself though like his goal vs Columbus last year etc.

Went to the Hawks game last night here in az. Sad it's he only time they play here this year. Girl got out of work late and by the time we sat down towards the end of the first period it was already 3-0. We had nice seats too! We were on the balcony level but right on the edge. I regretted not bringing the W flag.

FTFY

I should have you know, I do have disposable income now! However it is still in CAD, so I'd be spending my student loan for a ban credit.

Cail dreams coming true!

HARTFORD, CT (WFSB) -
Connecticut's governor said he made a pitch to bring NHL hockey back to the state.

I wouldn't get my hopes up tho...

[Cail]

It's on all the local news stations.

They're AHL team is in Bridgeport (40 minutes or so away from Hartford), they wouldn't have to be the 4th team in a saturated market, Hartford area is dying for NHL, I want season tickets....

CMON ISLANDERS! DO IT!

[bluefan]

Hard to believe, but it took until last night for Jets to finally win three in a row.

Pavelec is making people eat their heart out haha. Not that I want or expect him to stay after this year, but damn did they fuck up this season by having two extremely young, extremely inexperienced goaltenders for half the season.
