NHL '12 Playoffs |OT| "The Cup is our destiny this year."
- Thread starter Quick
- Start date
Ugh, I wish.
Also, just in case anyone is interested, but Steve Duchesne is going to do an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on reddit on April 19th, so you can go there and ask any kind of random question and he'll answer them. No idea if anyone cares, but it's neat and he won a cup with the Wings, so there's that. 
No thanks, Coyle looks like a player man.
Yes.
Karma rears its ugly head once again.
Parise, yes. Suter no. I just don't see any team getting both.
I just feel like if we land Parise and then approach Suter we would be hard to turn down. I also wouldn't be surprised if we struck out on Suter.
I hereby strip Smiley90 of the right to discuss hypothetical nonsense trades on message boards on behalf of Canucks-Age. Couture would be an "adequate return"? Really now? And correct me if I'm wrong Acid/Mii, but isn't Couture very good on the wing as well? The Canucks could never get a player like Couture in return. That's insane.
And I don't believe the Giroux-level rumour for a second. Gillis is going to have his demand artificially high, but not that high.

Marchand was doing it last playoffs, too. The thing is that he is better at it. Seriously. He's like an Italian pro soccer player that's been fine-tuning it since he was 6. Kesler is just pretending.
Never claimed I was speaking on anyone but mine's behalf, just stating that we're better off asking for a return that's in that area, so that we'll eventually end up with a "compromise" that we can agree on as a good deal. I was just asking what other people would think the general asking price for Schneider could be, and then what the potential actual return could be. On behalf of myself and what I hope, especially after the IMHO disappointing Kassian trade.
Was just a joke, as if you having that conversation gives you any power. I do think you undervalued Couture, though. It wouldn't be just adequate. It would be an enormous coup. And it would never happen.
If good things happened, you'd still be banned.
True, maybe not adequate, but he'd be the only return from the Sharks I'd be happy with, let's put it that way. I know that (unfortunately) it won't happen, but it was more of a statement that I don't see how anyone else from the sharks could make us a better team long-term
(I wonder what the Sharks are gonna do in like 5 years when a lot of their top6 are 35ish, with no prospects worth mentioning... )You're going to be a very disappointed fan come off-season time.
You don't think the fact that off-season might start Wednesday is leaving me disappointed enough already?
The Schneider trade is the last thing I have, don't take it away from me :'(Dastardly Jerks

I look forward to another season of you not learning what humility is.

Around.
The Blues, again, made it interesting at the end of the game because of how they play with the lead with that amount of time left in the game. I'm sure the Blues will eventually come away from it without letting those late goals in.
Stewart played a good game last night, Hitchcock. Keep him in the lineup.

The Kings, Blues, Preds and Coyotes are going to come out of the West.
LOL

They have a ton of the Doughty smiling ones that are hilarious as well. The E.T. one was my favorite though. :lol
His face is so perfect for it :lol hfboards is finally useful for something.
Well played.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
LOL...I don't know why this made me laugh as hard as it did.
really worried about this game tonight. the predators have been outplayed all series long and realistically should be looking at being down 0-3 and on the verge of elimination tonight. hopefully they get it together and at least look like a team that cares out there as they inevitably lose this in 6. im shocked at how underplayed and under-appreciated this red wings team has been across the league and the media coming into this series, they really are probably the best team the league has had since the lockout. im just glad the preds were able to absolutely steal those two games, im just praying they can steal two more
oh and

You are right good things do happen. In this case the good thing that is going to happen is the Nucks are going to lose and you are going to leave this thread.
BOTH
Parise is ours
Parise has already said he doesn't want to go back to Minnesota. Sorry.
Beauty.
So that means the last game won at home was game 3 in the SCF in 2007? Yeah, sounds about right.

Oh Bertuzzi....
Parise is ours
I really don't see what will entice him and Suter that you mention it to go to Minny at all in terms of a winning atmosphere considering Minny's wonderful collapse this year.

They better. You could tell they let up after the fourth goal. I hope Hitch reams them. Stewart had an okay game at best. Some bad neutral zone turnovers the first 2 periods, but he was hustling. He's the best choice to keep in against a bigger SJ.

Replace Bruins with Canucks and I got banned for that earlier in the season. lol
Seriously though why all the hate across the league for Chara. Maybe being a Bruins fan I'm just not seeing where all the hate is for him. Sure he destroys people but not his fault their heads are at his waist.

Yeah, but we're in community now, nothing can get us banned!
The Bruins are a bunch of pussycunts-fuckfaces-dickshit-motherfucking-cocksuckers!
I'm not trolling, just backing up pringles' analysis of the series so far

Hahaha nice try.
And it's probably the only one of your posts that has ever made any sense.
aww, cmon baby, why we gotta fight?
Sigh, that Sens lost last night still stings. Played absolutely terrific, but Handsome Henrik and the Rangers D did their part. Have faith they can pull of a win in game 4 and it'll be a new series again at 2-2.
Really wish the game got more press in terms of what playoff hockey should actually look like. Well played, fast paced, lots of scoring chances, great goaltending, intense, good physical hockey that never got out of hand.

Yeah the Sens played great. I was so pissed that they lost. Hopefully next game they cut out all the cute passes in the offensive ton and just throw a ton of pucks at the Rangers. They have been right there every game, hopefully they can pull out game 4 and make it a close series.

Gameday again. Panthers need the same fast paced game as Sunday. Draw the penalties from their d-men and out skate the fore-check. Main goal is to at least split the Devs home ice.
Go Panthers!
Go Panthers!
Yeah it's been great outside the first game
I'm pretty bummed alfredsson could be missing the last playoffs of his career.
Yeah, Spezza in particular was trying to do too much and it always backfired. Karlsson shots the puck like crazy, the whole team should be like that. Have to get dirty goals in this series against Lundqvist.
To retire after a playoffs ended with a concussion, yeah, it's pretty terrible =/ But let's be positive, they'll beat the Rangers in 7, and Alfie will be back!

We're passing the pucks like crazy because the Rangers block every shot and they're trying to get shooting lanes open. That's their game.
Shooting pucks is nice but if they're blocked 99% of the time, gotta do something different.
Spezza's line is being shutdown by Girardi and McDonagh, I was hoping having last line change at home would help that but it seems not. Lines 2,3 and 4 are the most dangerous for us right now.
