It wouldn't surprise me at this point to see Drouin get loaned to Team Canada for the WJC. We're just too deep a team without injuries, he's not getting enough playing time.

This is pretty much the same for Duclair. I'm about 90% sure he's going at this point.

Yesssss...... yeeeeeessssss, American teams... send us all your NHL-ready forwards....

Spoiler

To ultimately, somehow, still disappoint.

It is ice. All of Canada becomes covered with ice during winter. This is why they are so good at hockey.

Ice, like inside our hockey arenas? How does it survive outdoors where they can't maintain it with banks of industrial air conditioners?

 

[speculawyer]

I'm the backup now.

Apparently that bit was improvised. Very well done, Actor guy.

 

[Razorskin]

Subban should get another hat trick in Minnesota.

And Dallas Eakins should get fried tomorrow.

 

[speculawyer]

If they are so good at hockey then why doesn't a Canadian team win the Cup every year? In fact, they haven't won it in a long time. Explain THAT to me.

Because we buy all their good players. For example, my local team, the San Jose California Sharks skaters:

He asked about Cup wins though, right? Shouldn't you pick another team to use as an example?

Lots of tributes for Jean Beliveau. Highly respected man.

Hockey royalty.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

TIME TO BEAT MINNESOTA WITH THE YAPAPI STRAP

YAH

(I Hope)

 

[Fata1moose]

Lindback is gone, yay.

Stars defense is still poo.

You can have Berra for free.

 

[zroid]

Yikes, Patrick Eaves broke his ankle in the DAL v TOR game last night

 

[Unhandled Exception]

We should put Berra in against Calgary tomorrow. Just for shits and giggles.

 

[Giggzy]

I wonder if Philadelphia was looking forward to their California trip so they can relax at the beach. Too bad!

 

[Red_Man]

Dater fired. Thank God.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

His reign is over: https://twitter.com/adater

 

[Fata1moose]

Dater fired. Thank God.

I think it's funny you're still salty about a bad writer trolling Canadien fan last season. He's an ass to Avalanche fans practically every day.

 

[zroid]

Healy shocked to learn the Wild are actually a good team :lol

I think it's funny you're still salty about a bad writer trolling Canadien fan last season. He's an ass to Avalanche fans practically every day.

err I don't know the context of that, but I think we are all glad he's been fired

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Dater fired. Thank God.

That was the dude creeping on woman right? Good.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

HOLY SHIT LOOOOOL

 

[Red_Man]

Class by Minnesota here.

I think it's funny you're still salty about a bad writer trolling Canadien fan last season. He's an ass to Avalanche fans practically every day.

Salty? I'm not salty about that, I just think he's an awful writer and has written a lot of terrible things, not even related to the Habs. He's a sad excuse for a writer and piece of shit human. Good riddance.

 

[Fata1moose]

God they better hire someone bearable, If I have to read Kiszla or Chambers, I just won't read the Denver Post.

 

[scissorfight]

that's great news. dater is human garbage.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

He's saying he's got a substance abuse problem and is also denying any wrongdoing with the recent DMs that came to light. I wonder how wrong his wife thinks he was.

 

[Fata1moose]

He isn't married is he? He has a kid, but I remember him mentioning an ex-wife a few seasons ago.

 

[Razorskin]

welp

 

[zroid]

well that was fast

 

[Unhandled Exception]

He isn't married is he? He has a kid, but I remember him mentioning an ex-wife a few seasons ago.

He's definitely married. It even said Husband in his twitter bio.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

ALREADY? Sheesh

 

[Red_Man]

The fuck Price

 

[Fata1moose]

He's definitely married. It even said Husband in his twitter bio.

Oh, I always thought he was divorced, now that makes him look like more of an ass. Honestly, he fit in well Kiszla is a jerk too.

 

[Vman]

I always enjoyed Dater getting salty at Minnesota. The playoffs were great for that last year.

 

[lamaroo]

Why is Allen back in?

 

[Razorskin]

Why is Allen back in?

Told you guys, he's the new Bouillon.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Why is Allen back in?

No clue. Was Gilbert scratched again?

 

[Razorskin]

No clue. Was Gilbert scratched again?

No, weaver was.

 

[Red_Man]

Why is Allen back in?

Because it's not like we have two perfectly capable NHL quality D men in the minors who are better than him and we could call up at any time. That would be dumb.

 

[Heretic]

He asked about Cup wins though, right? Shouldn't you pick another team to use as an example?

SoGood.gif

 

[Razorskin]

Two terrible powerplay teams against each other.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I don't think... That's a goal...?

 

[lamaroo]

I don't think... That's a goal...?

Not even close.

 

[speculawyer]

He asked about Cup wins though, right? Shouldn't you pick another team to use as an example?

Spoiler

I guess I asked for that one though.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I wish we were better at first period... And PPs

 

[Razorskin]

Scandella pls.

uh oh, please be ok Patches

 

[zroid]

OW

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Patchy has the worse fucking luck

 

[lamaroo]

Therrien's shit system has so much trouble with speedy teams.

 

[Red_Man]

Another game, another shit Habs start. May or may not have something to do with coaching.

 

[Marvie_3]

Hawks have been rolling lately. Gotta keep it going against the scumbags tonight.

 

[Red_Man]

Emelin has been all over the damn place ever since I called him out for being decent. I don't get what his deal is.
