2010-2011 NHL Season Thread

Phoenix should just forfeit all their home playoff games so they can play up to all 7 games in a city where people will actually show up.

Last year against the Wings it was essentially the same, by all accounts and everything seen in the broadcasts there were more Wings fans than Yotes in attendance. Even with teams whose fanbase doesn't travel as well I would imagine a similar effect.

Self face-plant by Fiddler. 2 minute penalty at most. Ah well, blown calls for both sides and just horrible reffing. If it was a "5 minute major", Fiddler should have been kicked off the ice and examined. Based on the recent guidelines. Canucks had a 5-3 PP and couldn't score before this mishap. Labooboo played on his head. Ah well, Wings game is next and that'll be epic.

[Ishido]

Yeahhhh I don't think that warrants a 5. 2 is probably appropriate, I can see why Canucks fans are upset.

True, I know for a fact if the Kings face the coyotes in the first round (which it looks like will be the match up) that the Kings fans will take over the building.

A bit late, but I had to say it.

According to a report at the Glendale news site yourwestvalley.com, the 70 people who attended the meeting spoke in favour of the deal where bonds would be sold to help Chicago businessman Matthew Hulsizer purchase the team.

[NynJa]

I keep hearing about Subban but I never watch him play. What does he do that has everyone so mad at him?

He's a good hockey player whos prone to rookie mistakes and he's black.

Being a little presumptuous aren't we? There's still 10-11 games left. I'd be highly surprised if the seeds stay the way they are.

Well since the league is keeping the team on life support why wouldn't the refs give them the calls. Who freaking cares, was a meaningless game and at the end of the day the canucks are still -winning at life.

Him being black has nothing to do with it.

I care because the refs fucked up my goalie stats in fantasy hockey dammit.

Right, Right, Dallas is going to over take the Pacific division, I forgot.

I say that because for the past few weeks, Phoenix and Los Angeles have been 4-5 in the standings out west.

Oh right, its because "he talks a lot and he hasnt established himself in the league", and because "he keeps acting like a bigshot and showing off, this is a game of class"...right.

[Sepukku]

He talks a lot and acts like a big shot BECAUSE hes black.

[NynJa]

Oh, and when he stands up for his teammates, he's not allowed to do that cuz he's a rookie also, and when bigger guys try to take shots at him, he doesn't back down like he's supposed to...I can go on and on to all the really stupid things I've people say about him.

Seriously...man up, its cause he's black (not bi-racial lol) and he's a strong D-man instead of a 4th line nobody. So fucking what if he talks a lot on the ice? Whats wrong, whiteys never heard of "sticks and stones"? Its called getting in your head and he's not the first, the second, the 10th, the 100th, the 500th, etc etc, player to do it. If these "superstar veteran" players are crying to the media about his big mouth (which is racist, yup, cuz black ppl have big lips haha)...guess what, its working.

I'd also like to point out that Subban has been in 4 documented fights this season, whether he's winning or not is regardless.

[Thoronas]

Gotta agree with Koolaid here. Highly doubt he's getting the hate because he's black, sounds more like his actions are just rubbing people the wrong way, I think it would be the same if he was white. No way that many people playing would hate him for his skin.

Also it's pretty lol that a Habs fan is crying racism

[vagus]

Not so much because he's black. It's because he's a rookie with swagger. NHL vets expect rookies to be very respectful. Dude makes mistakes, but he's entertaining and is a pretty good player. If he was in an american market, he'd be an even bigger star.



It's so greasy!!!

you rolled the dice with luongoof it's your own fault.

[Thoronas]

you rolled the dice with luongoof it's your own fault.

I don't get you. You seem to be a Canucks fan yet you seem to ignore the fact luongo's stats are pretty incredible and would have him winning the vezina if Thomas hadn't run away with it. You're either a casual fan or a self loathing fan.

You're an idiot.

I've never understood why painting one's skin black is to be condemned as racist. I don't see it that way, nor would I be offended if a black person painted their skin white in order to look like a white person.
