2009-10 NHL Thread

It's a bunch of fun if you manage to find diamonds in the rough when it comes to a club, moreso concerning personalities you can enjoy, and not whining little brats or idiots you would want to punch.

Like this guy...

Center for the champion team of 09 lol. Fucking Rangers fans.


PS., if any of you are on Xbox Live and want to play a match for shits 'n giggles, add me, gamertag is prelusion

So forsberg is going to play for Modo in the Swedish elite league. Now it looks like Marcus naslund is going to come out of retirement to join him. The kicker, both of them are doing it for free.
Naslund ends retirement to play with Forsberg in Modo

[Ishido]

Blackhawks say they're ready to sign extensions for Kane, Toews, and Keith.

I'm looking forward to them playing with 5 high paid guys and 17 league minimum salaries next season.

[Richybear]

Columbus sent Filatov back to Russia "on loan".... yeah, he's not gonna come back.
So much for my last round sleeper pick in a fantasy draft this year. >.<

Also, I'm a Habs fan too, just like Rata... only he can have first dibs since he lives there and I'm in Oil country.

At least unlike the Wings they're not washed up with players older than Father Time.

Hey now, our players are only as old as father time.

[Thoronas]

Yeah with Chelios gone the average Detroit players age is now only 64 as opposed to Precambrian.

[Dolmen]

I've only played one or two games as a goalie and neither times did I sim anything at all, so I've never seen whatever you're talking about.

And Sepukku, if you're not playing BAP online, you're missing out on a majority of the game. Might as well just play NHL 08. As demonstrated by my amazing shootout skills in the video above with Zetterberg, you just have to anticipate the goalies diving around like that (only if you're playing a human) because it's just the easy way out. Almost everyone in actual shootout mode does it online, it's ridiculous, but I can only imagine their faces when it doesn't work, and it makes me feel good. Real good.

This was for playing an OFD. I had another BAP career, and that one racked up the win/loss columns correctly. It's just this new BAP career that it's glitching (both season 1 and so far season 2). If I sim 10 games straight without playing, then it records those wins/losses.

[Bregor]

And Rata is correct, there is a one fan per team limit to this thread. Unless you're one of the umpteen people who live in Pittsburgh that post here.

AV, paper rock scissors? THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.

PS. Ovie back tonight, ended up only missing 6 games and the Caps went 4-2-0, both losses coming at New Jersey. Can't complain.

[Mytiwar]

Just asking. Considering you haven't posted in here before yesterday I find it amusing when someone questions what I presume about a given topic. And Rata is correct, there is a one fan per team limit to this thread. Unless you're one of the umpteen people who live in Pittsburgh that post here.

Yeah, I'm more of a hockey fan in general than just the habs then. I'm more of a reader than a big time poster also if that answers your interrogations. (Join date and post count and e-penis size and all..)

And welcome to the thread btw. If you get angry easily I would suggest that you never, ever talk to Seppuku. His views are somewhat.....insane.

Thank you, and yeah I'm well aware of the trollin' going on lol.


P.S.: Wild speculation of the habs winning 4-2 against the worst team ever tonight. Any thoughts on that? Rata?
Back to lurking. . .

[Ratatapa]

Habs always been that way

They suck against weak teams but are good against good team (usually)

I'm going 2-1 habs

Also it doesn't mather tbh i watch the game because i love the sport, of course i want habs to win, but if it'S a good show to watch today i will be happy

[Bregor]

Ugh, Caps looks sluggish early. Rangers are totally controlling possession and Ovie is just standing around a lot. Could be a long night.

[Ratatapa]

omg what a shootout, had to go up to 6th player from each side!

and carey price ftw

[Bregor]

Ugh, Caps looks sluggish early. Rangers are totally controlling possession and Ovie is just standing around a lot. Could be a long night.

Glad the Caps picked it up and got 2 points in MSG. It didn't show up on the scoresheet, but Mathieu Perreault is a little sparkplug. He drew one penalty and made some pretty good passes. Love the talent coming out of Hershey.

[CrosisX]

Its annoying me to see that they're celebrating Ovechkin's 1 goal tonight and calling it he out played gaborik who scored 2 goals. So what rangers lost tonight but don't say that the great 8 was the better player tonight.

[Arnwulf]

Columbus sent Filatov back to Russia "on loan".... yeah, he's not gonna come back.

Filatov will be back at the start of training camp next year. It was painfully obvious in his playing time this year that he's just not ready for the NHL, and sending him down to the AHL would have meant a serious pay cut (only make $65,000 vs. $850,000), and probably a guarantee that we lose him to the KHL with no return. We have a pretty good loan contract worked out with CSKA and there's no reason to think he won't be back, OR we won't be handsomely compensated if he decides to stay there. The NHL, the KHL and the IIHF have all signed off on it.

[Brill Weave]

No, you're not allowed to return to lurking once you've posted in the hockey thread. You now must contribute until the end of the season!

[Sepukku]

Hes got a french sissy as his signature, of course he's going into hiding - I'm 1/4th German...

[Brill Weave]

And 3/4 dumbass?

I will say that I am impressed with Deryk Engelland so far. He hasn't been a liability and he's fairly solid. Lovejoy has been mediocre and Guenin was invisible in his first game with the Pens. Time will tell if they can continue improving.

[Sepukku]

3/4ths king of the universe. People need to stop fucking praying, it clogs up my inbox, its annoying.
