2010-2011 NHL Season Thread

[Thoronas]

Anderson for Luongo trade huh.

What can I say, I'm a hopeless homer.

[Sepukku]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL WHERE IS THIS GOING? You can't possibly be serious, because my whoosh-ometer is off the scale...

Name something Alberta makes besides overrated Hockey players and moose. Pittsburgh is an economic haven and has been for 150+ years due to the Industrial Revolution utilizing our Three Rivers and we are a leader in green technology in North America and recently held the G-20 summit. We're hosting the Winter Classic, we have football and hockey champions and we're constantly rated the best sports town / hockey town in the sporting world / NHL. We were just rated #1 in youth relations BEFORE the free youth game in the preseason of all North American sporting franchises. And Alberta? Cold. Dreary. Dark at 4pm. Maybe produces some natural resources I guess since no one actually lives up there and everything is still intact. You ever fuck a girl in the woods? I didn't think so, Jack Frost would stab your ballsack with an icicle in the middle of July.

Also, Thoronas/Palin, whats going on with this deal? Im okay with approving it if you two are actually serious about it. Dunno who proposed it / if both parties have viewed it yet.

[friedfunk]

where's mike comrie from?

[Sepukku]

You mean that player who has yet to do anything for us? He got healthy scratched once and 4th lined another game cause HC Dan Bylsma isnt happy with his play.

[Thoronas]

I proposed a deal with Callisto to trade Anderson for Luongo. Not sure if he's accepted but I'd love to have Luongo on my team even if his stats are shit since I also have Howard and Callisto needs help in goal badly.

[friedfunk]

ok how about this letestu guy i've never heard of... wtf at 7 points

[Thoronas]

Jesus... maybe I don't want Luongo. lol He's moving with the grace and speed of an aircraft carrier right now.

[Callisto]

Yeah it was with me, I accepted but not sure if you had to on your end or if Sep needed to hit an OK button as commish or what. It's a legit trade, I think that Luongo's going to have a strong season still despite the slow start, and I already have like 4 other Canucks and I can't fucking stand them, lol.

[Callisto]

man Tim Thomas still looks really fucking good...at least he's trying hard to earn his paycheck

[Callisto]

Boudreau really wants a goal lol, basically icing his PP team during 5on5

[Callisto]

lol 2 different Caps would have had a nice scoring chance if they weren't fighting each other for the puck

[Sepukku]

Boudreau really wants a donut, he was basically icing his cinammon toast throughout breakfest

FTFY

[Callisto]

huuuuuge defensive play from Chara...and Bergeron manages to overshoot the empty net

[Anton]

Alberta is freakin loaded. The Calgary-Edmonton corridor makes a GDP 10% above US average metropolitan areas in 2003, not bad for under 2 million people, and that's despite universal health care. Edmonton is currently constructing a billion dollar facility to rival the Mayo Clinic. Plus, they don't pay tax, at least not provincial. Nearly half of all Canadian beef is from Alberta, and with the Rocky Mountains, it's a tourist hotspot.

But here's the best part: Name the top 3 suppliers of Oil to the USA.

Spoiler: show

No, it's not Iraq. They're like a really distant 8th. Or Kuwait 13th. Or Iran (way down there). Or the UAE(way down there too). Or Venezuela(4th 1.1 million BPD). Or Saudi Arabia (5th 1.05 Million BPD)

Spoiler: show

#3: Nigeria 1.174 million bpd
#2: Mexico 1.289 million bpd
And....
#1: Canada 2.534 million bpd
All figures from your own US dept of Energy


That's right, you import more oil from Alberta than the entire Middle East combined. That's a whole lot of beaver dick to suck if you have a car. Do you have any clue how much oil the Athabasca oil sands in Alberta is estimated to hold?

1.6 trillion barrels. That's equal to the oil capacity of every fucking oil well on Planet Earth COMBINED.

THE MOOSE IS NOW DIAMONDS

Flames v Preds Zip-Zip. Where is this going?

[Palin]

It's not me, I just was commenting on it. Just thought it was an interesting trade.

I'd kill for either of those goalies though!

[Callisto]

Think it's pretty even myself, once we get past the small sample size part of the season at least. Luongo's probably going to have the edge in GAA and wins, Anderson should win save % by a fair amount just by facing more shots due to having a lesser defense in front of him than Luongo does.

[Palin]

Also I took Sep's advice and didn't start a Goalie playing the Caps. Then Thomas posts a .972 SV%. Bullocks!

[Anton]

WOW just caught up with NHL on the fly. Kipper is having one of his unstoppable nights. 0-0, 8 min left in the 3rd

To a shutout for my fantasy team, knock on wood, cause you're a rectum retailer and Pekka Rinne is showing Alberta whats up in Europe.
