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

Lol. I don't want to play against you either wulf. If rinne gets hot like he can id rather not face him right out of the gate. Yo-yo form does not inspire a lot of confidence in me heading into the playoffs.

[Wulfgang]

Actually hoping EDM takes the Pacific and we place WC1. EDM is pretty solid and we could easily lose, but I would fucking love if the media goes ham on Oilers making POs for first time since paleolithic era on back of McDavid and they end up losing to the Nashville Predators of all teams.

Holy shit Buffalo shit all over Toronto last night. I was trying to figure out whether it was Buffalo playing well, or Toronto looking like shit. I think it was both.

[Obsidian]

It was a typical Toronto game in Buffalo to be honest. Too bad Eichel didn't get his hatty.

Wulfy how could you not mention this gem from last night?

Goalie Interference calls once again make no sense

Filppula bumps Murray, he was helped in but very marginally and it didnt look like he made any effort to avoid Murray, Flyers score shortly after, not goalie interference. The only thing I can think of is that Murray stayed down longer than necessary trying to milk the call.

However, this was called off for goaltender inference yesterday.

Todays goal that wasnt goaltender inference.

These refs make no fucking sense.

Jagr also played for a long time when OT didn't exist in the regular season.

NHL brought back OT in 83-84. Jagr started playing in the NHL in 90-91.

That being said an argument can be made in 5-on-5 vs 3-on-3. But yeah, OT had been around throughout all of Jagr's career. He's old but not that old.

Buffalo fans get sooooooooo fucking salty about Toronto fans making the drive down. The announcers talked about it at least 20 fucking times. Yeah it's annoying, but shut the fuck up about it.

[Richybear]

Here it's just common/expected to see a 50/50 split of fans during games vs Montreal or Toronto.

[Izzy]

Just be Eichel and taunt the fans:

Ducks gonna snap a 5 game losing streak against the Rangers tonight and take sole possession of first in the Pacific. Hank gave up 5 but it could have been way worse cause he made a bunch of great saves. Still going to be a fight to the finish. It'll be fun to watch.

[Judai]

IT HAPPENED! IT REALLY HAPPENED!!!

FANTASY HOCKEY CHAMPION! FUCK YESSSSS!!

GG man. Fun as always everyone.

Yeah but the rebuttal to that is just "all of you not buying tickets to Sabres games?"

I did laugh when he did it though. And he did it after Brown went over and celebrated with those same fans which made it funnier.

Edit: GG Fantasy peeps.

Wulfy how could you not mention this gem from last night?

Also, this was the highlight of the day:



Fuck Corey Perry.

I couldn't watch the game; was out with the lady. Just caught up on score, Jarnkrok getting clocked, and Couture losing his front teeth; missed this guy.

Buffalo has different ticket prices depending on who is playing on any given night. They jack the prices up with TOR or MTL are in town. Buffalo season ticket holders know this and sell their tickets for a shitload more as well.

That being said, it's pretty lame. I hate when people buy season tickets for the sole purpose of using it as an investment to make more money.

[Obsidian]

Same thing happens in Toronto (and probably most teams), I guess the difference is Leafs tickets start at "way too fucking much" and climb from there depending on who's in town. I don't know if the season ticket holders do the same shit, wouldn't be surprised if they have to sign an agreement saying they won't re-sell their seats based on how absurdly long the wait list for season tickets is.

Two tickets to the St Pats game against Chicago last week would have cost you $800.
