2010-2011 NHL Season Thread

[Izzy]

I'd really like this win. I still don't feel comfortable about getting into the playoffs.

[Anton]

Leafs 2-1 after 1, Reimer looks steady, Leafs clearly wanna bring the A game for the ACC (It's also not HNIC - the leafs always lose for HNIC).

So we'll see. If they lose, I'll be happy it's over. But first time in 4 years I think Toronto is thinking positively about the next season. There's a sense of "well if we didn't fuck up so much early, we have a great shot at the playoffs". Since the all-star break the Leafs have been a different team (also, Reimer)

Edit: LOL KYPREOS raging on the Sportsnet Fantasy Hackey pool. He's been doing it for a while

Usually something like:

Snet "Enter the fantasy hockey pick'em -"

Kypreos "A-HEM"

Snet ".... uhh for your chance at over 10,000 dollars in prizes, here are the updated standings. You should join Kypreos, see if you can win"

Kypreos "Ugh what kind of guy joins wit-WHAT KIND OF MORON..."

Snet *general laughter*

Kypreos "WHAT KIND OF IDIOT JOINS A CONTEST WITH FIVE GAMES LEFT? STOP ASKING PEOPLE TO JOIN THIS THING. IT'S O-VAH!"

Silly me, I thought the leafs were going to make the playoffs THIS year. I just assumed Bozak was that 50-60pt centre that we lacked this year. I also didn't anticipate Gus shitting the bed and Lebda single handedly losing like 5 games.

[Mote]

Wait, Bender is on BG now?

He's hilarious, he's been saying this every time they bring it up for like two months lol

Wow, Kadri with a HUGE night. Just caused another goal.

[Selamis]

Hawks looking better as this first goes on, started off a little sluggish but Thomas so far is doing pretty good at robbing us on a few chances.

[Anton]

Oh my god, Kadri. What a move.

Finally, Habs look like they can score again.

[Anton]

Oh wait, the leafs have shit themselves. 3-3 game. Gunnarson loses the puck in the low slot, which is FAIL.

[Eckskalibur]

Hartnell scores and then gets his faced rammed into the crossbar. And while typing this.. Giroux scores.

[Izzy]

Phil Kessel is a fucking beast. I never really watched him individually.

[Mote]

very sloppy play by the Pens, but two excellent shots. All 5 goals in the game tonight were off great shots.

[Chips]

Phil Kessel is a fucking beast. I never really watched him individually.

It seems like whenever he plays with Grabovski, he's able to find him Grabo anywhere on the ice for a goal.

[Anton]

Phil Kessel is a fucking beast. I never really watched him individually.

Kessel is a player that has that extra gear - the Pavel Bure gear. When he starts wheeling, nobody on the ice can catch him. If he wasn't so streaky he'd be great, but as it is he's just good.

He plays alot better when he's using his wheels for good, and tends to slump when all he wants to do is score. He never shows it for anything other than breaks then - and there's sooo many things you can do with hockey nitrous other than fast breaks.

[Selamis]

Holy crap, Thornton was busted open by a skate from Pisani.

[bender1077]

Skate to tha face to tha face

[Selamis]

And Kane said something off the bench as Thornton skated by and now the Bruins are trying to kill Kane, and Kane just drew a power play.

[Selamis]

Well this game is getting out of hand when it comes to discipline by the Bruins lol, slightly both teams, more so Boston though.

[vagus]

No matter how good or bad Kessel becomes, he'll always to me be known as the dude that got picked last in the All-star draft.

Fuckin Pekka. Dude is getting the Vesna. Yes Luongo is having an insane season and Tim Thomas as well. However, you take away Pekka and this team is nothing.
