WHAT. IN. THE . FUCK.

Doesn't even look like an athlete anymore. Looks like an MLB first baseman.

I feel like it's fitting he's on the same team as Kyle Wellwood.

They ain't fitting in a whole lot these days. Ba dum ccccccccchhhhhh!!!!

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Nice ^

Anyone else curious as to what the 2004-2005 GAF NHL OT would've been like? This offseason has been the most ludicrous I've ever seen this thread. Enjoyed every bit of it tbh.

Lookin' good!

Goddamnit. Gudbranson injured his shoulder in training may be out for four months. Upshall, Skille, Garrison and now Guddy. Shoulders are not kind to us.

We'll need Ellerby to step up. That leaves possible parings as Campbell + Kulikov, Kuba+ Weaver/ Strachan, Jovo+ Ellerby.

You'll need ellerby to step up in CBA negotiations?

Sort of like how earth and the moon are on the same team?

If he can sure.


If hockey starts before December should be a footnote.

Apparently that pic was taken in July on Dave Bolland's wedding. I wonder how he looks like now.

It cant be good for injuries, gaining ton of weight then trying to lose it in a month or so.

The fact the players still havent moved away from the asking of 57% revenue sharing is insane. At least the owners moved from 43 to 46%.

Yes they did.

They reduced their share for 3 years then then it was a revert back to 57% in the fourth year (as an option).

Canadians, pretty good deal here for NHL 13 if you haven seen it yet. Courtesy of Mike Works from the gaming deals thread.

I can finally get rid of BF3 and not feel like I wasted too much of my money.

I have like three games on that list but I like all of them

Too bad RFD decided to spam FutureShop with Max Payne 3 copies. I would have gladly gave up that piece of shit game.

 

[Revenant]

HEY HEY HEY

 

[Marvie_3]

Hey Dustin Byfuglien, what did you do with your offseason?

 

[calder]

Exact same thing Buff did last summer... well a bit beyond last year based on a couple of random pics. He must be really counting on an extra month.

He'll be double fisting diet pills and amphetamines again and in no time we'll have stories about the team being pleased with his fitness level for day one of camp

Spoiler

in December

*fingers crossed*

If there's a lockout EA won't have to do roster updates for NHL 13.

No changes for a whole year?

Not surprised.. I doubt there's much trade talks going on.

The NHLPA has informed the NHL that players are willing to play and continue to negotiate if an agreement isn’t reached by Sept. 15th.

At all reliable?

That news is a few days old and confirmed, so... Yes, reliable? pretty much the last page&this page jn this thread.

Oh, sorry I just saw it as a top link on reddit, and I haven't really kept up on the news over the weekend.

Yeah no worries, we just jump on ANY news now here, we're desperate. Atm we're on big buff's form (see pic above)

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Someone please tell me that the pic of Buff is shopped, :lol

it is reliable but NHL won't go along with it seeing Fehr played the same card with the MLB and they went on strike before playoffs and fucked the MLB for almost 2 decades going

This is amazing....until Big Buff barrels into him in a game and breaks his spine

The blades would snap off the moment Big Buff stands up.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

No one wants to play it with the way it ends.

Supersonic you should make this avatar when the season starts and the first penalty is called on the Leafs:

Well, there isn't going to be hockey for a while, but at least my lunch hour is saved! Hockeycentral@Noon is back on the air!

Spoiler

Of course, it would be nicer if they had ongoing hockey to talk about...

 

[BigBlue1974]

I'm building a house in the same neighborhood where Buff lives and had heard he likes to jog so had this fantasy that I'd go jogging with him. Looks like I gotta get that house done quick as he REALLY looks like he needs it!

You should probably just go wait by his front door. That's probably as far as he'll make it.

Haha, yeah maybe I'll just tie a donut to the back of my shirt to encourage him, though given his history, perhaps a can of beer might be more effective!

Revenant clearly using the offseason to hone his photoshop skills.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

And with the Panthers and Jets playing each other so much, it'll increase the chances of it happening.

 

[Slurmer]

WHAT. IN. THE . FUCK.

I am so glad I came back to this thread, lol.

 

[Alucard]

Sweet Buff pic, bros! Must have figured that there would be a lockout.

The NHL season is so close! LET'S GET EXCITED!

 

[ShaneB]

Jesus, I've not been here in this thread for a bit... is that really Buff??...... it can't be!

 

[MacAttack]

No, it's Carlton Banks.

jk its Big Buff!

 

[DopeyFish]

NHL has withdrawn its application for a supervised lockout vote with the Alberta labour board and it's hearing for tomorrow has been cancelled

So uhhhhhh

 

[ATF487]

Guys Carlton already has a look alike and it's Glen "Big Baby" Davis

I dont know what this means. They think they could get a deal done by Saturday or what?

maybe they think it's not worth their time. Today Daly called the issues in alberta et al "A Joke"

 

[Smiley90]

My impression as well. They wanted to do it if it worked, but now the NHLPA would argue so they've decided to just not care about such a "detail" like the labour board.

 

[KingHenrik30]

Yep, just as we suspected:

Chris Johnston ‏@reporterchris
Don Fehr says the NHL "abandoned" its case with the Alberta Labour Board.

Looking a little dumpy himself.
