2014 NHL Playoffs: A thread full of jerk 'yoffs
- Thread starter Marvie_3
- Start date
Eh, that hit last year wasn't even particularly nasty. Poorly timed though.
Mike Brown works his ass off every shift which is awesome. He hits hard and wins most of his fights. He's a little bit better at hockey than I would have expected but he's still just more suited to play his role than anything else. But for what he brings he's great.Love Mike Brown. How's he been for you guys lately?
Took some time today and get my phone all set for the playoffs.
I present to you why Android is awesome:
Just gotta figure out how to get the weather widget that I'm using to display in F and not C.
Looks cool, but I still prefer the Persona weather app on the IPhone.
You spent last week going off about Avs players running Sharks and you're going to start defending Torres hit?

Too far gone.
I just used this one because it fit the color scheme best. Not sure I've ever seen the iPhone one.
I haven't seen that before, nor do I see it on the store.

Didn't know a Torres hit last season doesn't let me complain about Bordeleau elbowing one of our players in the head(who is now out with his second "upper body injury"of the season).
Sports fandom... A breeding ground of hypocrisy.
Do I even have to avatar quote here?
I don't remember many people agreeing with the NHL on that hit. Sharks fans are acutely aware of his past, but as far as I'm concerned, he's evolved his game. Same can't be said for other players.
Well he got suspended for it, so you'd be wrong on that and lol @ him evolving his game, he's played 16 games as a Shark with a 5 game suspension in there. It's just funny watching people rant about guys like this but as soon as he's on your team, the things he does aren't nearly as bad. The guy is human waste.
lol, no. You can't honestly compare being a fan of multiple teams to the typical sports hypocrisy of ignoring/trying to justifying bs or potentially dangerous plays only when its your team that does it.
I only heard about it when the creator posted about it in the Giant Bomb thread a while ago. It's unofficial but has lots of the music from P3 and P4 so its really nice to have if you're a fan of the games.
Damn, it got shut down and is no longer available.

It's all good guys, Bordeleau got dealt with Hertl style at the end of the game. #BoardEmHertl

86% have the Avs beating the Wild, I guess people don't realize the injuries we have right now.
You're full of shit, trying to paint us as making tons of excuses for Torres and what he's done in the past. General consensus was that the length of the suspension was ridiculous, not the fact that he was suspended at all. But yeah suddenly the DOPS got it right when it's a player you don't like.

It's really weird seeing Acid go to bat for a guy like Torres.
You just said :
Implying it was bad timing and wasn't really dirty. General consensus? From who? This is a scumbag player that's repeatedly made reckless plays threatening other players and you're making it sound like I'm the only one who doesn't like him? Everyone hates him including you until you guys signed him:
He's made some awful, nasty hits. The one in the playoffs last season was not one of those. That's all we're saying.

It's a little different than that though, Acid (and many others as well) have said some things about Torres over the years, including when he initially got traded to the Sharks, that make me scratch my head when things happen like a few weeks ago it seemed like he was content having him on roster because he works hard and plays well with the rest of the team. Considering how much shit he talks about anyone who lays a dirty hit in this league, with Torres being one of the most prolific shitbags still in the league, the extra mile to argue that point you guys are making right now is odd is all.
I'm not making excuses for anything he has done, but that hit last year wasn't up to the lofty standards he set for himself in the past. And there were lots of people on this board that were talking the same way.
General consensus in this thread. And yeah, I hated the way Torres played. Still remember his hit on Michalek when he was with Edmonton. But sure if you feel like the Stoll hit and the Hossa hit are anyway comparable, please say so. And what's the point of constantly lamenting the fact that he's on the team? Wasn't my decision to trade for him. Though I did HATE the trade when DW first made it.
And lol @ I'm making it sound like you're the only one who doesn't like him. I'm talking to you right?
And here's a conversation we recently had, Red!
Apparently you wouldn't mind having Torres on your team! Sports hypocrisy!

I never compared the Stoll hit to the hit on Hossa, but the Stoll hit is still dirty and he's still a piece of shit. You don't have to lament the fact he's on your team now, it just seems odd to defend a guy who you've vocally trashed, and a guy who is one of the most reckless and dangerous players in the league.
Saying he's better than Parros is now wanting him on my team? Try twisting my words more, you know who is better than Parros? A piece of wood, saying he would have been better than Parros because he can actually play the game of hockey isn't me wishing he was on the team. I don't want either on my team ever, the fact Parros is even on this team is a joke.

Thank fucking god Hejda looks like he'll be back for Game 1. Barrie and Hejda in is a huge relief.
Yeah, saw this on the news just before I left work. This is why I don't watch the news =(
Being stabbed to death might be one of the worst ways to go. Sick fuck whoever did that.
Thoughts and prayers to the friends and families affected by this.

As in Persona? Doesn't matter since I don't have an iPhone, but how does a weather widget use music? :lol
Yup. Pretty awful.

Who is getting Trials Fusion and on what?
Coincidentally I just bought it on PS4. Never played a Trials game before but it has to be better than trying to force myself to finish the last shittastic level of Thief.

Seems like it. The creator just said he had to take it down. I didn't know that it had been removed from iTunes till after I mentioned it today, so sorry for getting anyone's hopes up.
