I don't care how the guy scores as long as he does.

I don't care how the guy scores as long as he does.
So if all his goal were empty net goals, you'd still be hyping the guy?
He would be a specialist and an invaluable part of the team.

I wasn't bitching about the fact that he's scoring goals occasionally, I was bitching that he can't hit the net most of the time he's on the ice

Oh, I know. I'm not sure it'll hurt us too bad as long as the stars are producing though. If they're doing that, then him hitting the net once in a while should theoretically be enough.
The David Steckel of last minute leads with an empty net opportunity.

Chicago fans, you're welcome (for Hossa being one of the best all around players in the league).

We also gave them Havlat(when he was still good) for Michal Barinka :lol
The Thrashers were the ones who developed him.
Nah he was a PPG player already here
You also sent us Chris Campoli so fuck you.

You stole Havlat from us thanks to our senile GM. That trade had devastating implications on my Havlat man crush ;_;

We didn't steal anything. You guys also got Tom Preissing in that deal. I'd say it was pretty even.

Damn. You guys won. What's with all of the suppressed angst?

What angst ? It's ancient history, I think it's amusing how it all turned out in the end.
The greatest trade fleecing of all time was:
Bryan McCabe, Patrick Stefan, Brett Scheffelmaier, and Jimmie Olvestad
for Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin
EDIT - I say better than Lindros as Lindros still had a pretty awesome career. Not as much as Forsberg and the eventual Patrick Roy (from pieces on the Lindros trade), but not as drastic of a difference.

Lindros and Patrick Roy trades beat that I think
I always look forward to when wsox post now, just to see how Marvie is going to shit down his throat.
It's going to be weird when Columbus is the team to break the Hawks streak.
Nah, it doesn't. Eric Lindros still ended up scoring 800+ career points. How many points did Patrick Stefan end up scoring?
EDIT - And sorry, I meant greatest in terms of fleecing. The actual greatest trade of all time in terms of movement/shock is Wayne Gretzky to the LA Kings.
None of those players have won a Cup so I'd hardly call it a fleecing.
Columbus has played well enough in both games to beat Chicago so it's not that unrealistic.
At this point I'm not even going to be mad at all when the streak ends. I know it's going to end at some point and them going this far with it has been fucking amazing to watch.
So let's use Chicago Blackhawks as an example. Would you discount everything a player like Jeremy Roenick has ever done because he didn't win a Stanley Cup?
How about Mike Gartner? Cam Neely? Lafontaine? Adam Oates? Dino Ciccarelli? Mats Sundin? Darryl Sittler? Marcel Dionne?
Your worst comment of the week for sure. Those players above did everything they could to help their team compete and there is a million other factors that control whether a team wins a Stanley Cup or not. Especially in this day and age.
The reason why your team won the Stanley Cup 3 years ago? You sucked for years on end and got a bunch of great draft picks in a row, and then you had everything come together perfectly for your Stanley Cup run. Stop being so fucking arrogant about it.
Markus Naslund for Alek Stojanov is the biggest fleecing in Canucks history and one of the biggest in NHL history. Naslund went on to score 395 NHL goals and was the key piece of the best line in the league for a time, while Stojanov played 45 career games with the Penguins and scored 2 NHL goals in 107 games.

Tabris, throwing the "sucked to get draft picks on purpose" theory out there every so often will never make it any more true or any less fucking stupid no matter how often it's said.
That's a good one too!

In other news, I could give two fucks what you think and the fact that you address every post I make is hilarious and sad too.
"You reply to his posts even though he doesn't reply. I'm going to reply to every one of your posts obsessively even though you don't reply to me."
The mind boggling thing about the Naslund trade was at the time Naslund had scored 19 goals and 52 points in 66 games for the Pens, while Stojanov had 0 goals and 1 assist in 58 games for the Canucks.
Both were high picks in the 91 draft (Stojanov 7th and Naslund 16th), but Naslund had already become a proven NHL scorer when he was dealt, and Stojanov couldn't score if his life depended on it (fought a lot, though).
I guess I can see why the Pens did it...Stojanov was a 6 foot 4 enforcer with potential to be a good power forward, but it's still ridiculous.

Where have you been lately by the way? :lol
i see smelly, CCF and desi constantly. Not really you though.
I've probably posted more in this thread this month than I have any other message board thread in a month ever. I just can't help myself.
I didn't realize responding to one of your posts in one night was obsessive, guess we have quite the contingent of obsessive stalkers in this thread.

Two things:
-That post had a touch of sarcasm in it. Can't say I'm surprised you missed it though.
-Your whole "destiny" bullshit is/was far more arrogant. You run your mouth without having anything to back it up except an unrealistic sense of entitlement. Also, don't sit here and pretend like you wouldn't be even more of an insufferable piece of shit if the Canucks managed to win something other than a presidents trophy.
Yep. Putting you on ignore with wsox due to the offensive name calling. It's gone beyond trash talk with you. Sorry, I'm just not looking to get into that. I don't mind trash talking our teams or even each other with light jabs, but I don't want to start calling people things like that, or at least anymore.

Is this your new diversion tactic or something? Ignoring the bolded part, what Marvie said is entirely true. Calling other people out for being arrogant while knowing full well yourself that you're the most arrogant, and would be even MORE arrogant had the Canucks won the 2011 SCF, is par for par rife with accuracy.

You're even pissing off the fans of the team you cheer for with your shit. It's annoying to hear, especially after 40+ years of absolute failure as a franchise. You'd think getting beaten down that much would instill a little humility.
Talking shit is one thing. So is being confident in your team. Acting like they're god's gift to the sport and a team of destiny when year after year they find new spectacular ways to fail (Blues and Sabres fans know this pain) is something else entirely and it gets so fucking tiresome.
:lol There is nothing to debate. You can't argue against it so you try to play "be nice to me ;(".
Tell me the last time I said destiny in these threads.
And what does 40 years have to do with the current team? Nothing. Different owner, different management, different players, different logos, and for a majority of the fans, different fans. Stop selling your team short based on 40+ years of absolute failures that has nothing to do with the current organization in any way except the name of the team and city it's in. Let that baggage go man.
