2010-2011 NHL Season Thread

[Callisto]

based on that period, I think the playoofs started today

[Callisto]

Bertuzzi did something and didn't take a penalty, cause for celebration!

that was Pierre's take on it lol, Bertuzzi with an actual clean hit, what a great job!

[Callisto]

Will Keith repeat as Norris winner? I'm sure that will be a long discussion hahahahaha.

as far as the actual Norris race, I have no idea lol...Lidstom vs. Letang I guess?

[Thoronas]

Lidstrom vs Visnovsky seems more likely.

[Bregor]

Remember when Byfuglien was a shoe-in? Four goals since January 5th, oy.

[Ishido]

Mike Milbury picks Mike Green v2 for Norris, what a surprise.

[Selamis]

Lol Mike to Pierre: it's about time you said something intelligent.

There's a slight chance Letang will be the defensemen most adjudged to be Niklas Lidstrom.

[Callisto]

ugh I actually agreed with most of what Milbury said there

also lol @ the Kesler Selke bit, because whoever edited the highlight reel included absolutely 0 shots of him playing defense

[Ishido]

Lidstrom, Chara, Weber should probably be the finalists for the Norris, but it will likely be something like Lidstrom, Visnovksy, Chara (I give him the edge in votes over Weber because I just don't see 3 from the West getting most of the votes).

Obviously I'm a homer but I think Lidstrom does deserve it in what is a fairly down year as far as outstanding defensive performances. Visnovsky and Yandle essentially don't play defense, both hardly play at all on the PK. Letang, Enstrom, and Byfuglien haven't done shit in the 2nd half of the season, and Chara and Weber, while I would give them the edge on Lidstrom defensively at this point, are not as good offensively.

edit: Datsyuk loses the Selke because he broke his wrist, loses the Byng because Fuck Corey Perry. We all lose because we won't get to hear another Pavel Datsyuk award acceptance speech.

Conn Smythe

[isladar]

OH COME ONNNNNNNNN

[Ishido]

Conn Smythe

You don't get to give a speech for that!

I suppose if the Wings win the Cup (lol) he'll get to give a speech at the parade (also not gonna happen).

[Ishido]

Seabrook just almost gave up a breakaway to Holmstrom... I believe that is the ultimate mark of failure as a defenseman.

Don't they shove a mic in your face on the ice for like 30 seconds after they present it? The reverb for Datsyuk's speech would make it extra-hilarious.

I guess there would be one of those horrible on-ice I-don't-want-to-be-doing-this-right-now interviews, so I will take that.

But that would also most likely take the Wings winning the Cup so lol pointless hypotheticals.

[Ishido]

Seabrook is getting abused by Holmstrom in every way, how can he be so bad

How did Holmstrom get enough momentum to dislodge that glass for that matter, I wasn't aware he could even skate that fast.

[Ishido]

Thank you Brad Stuart you worthless piece of shit

[Selamis]

Frolik!

EYEBROOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWS TO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLL
