LOL Gibson with the save almost at the blue line.

But why would he try to cover it there? Ugh.

Good game Kings. If we played like that all year, we wouldn't be trying to sneak into a playoff spot.

going to laugh if the Leafs need warm bodies on the blue line after the purge and Robidas miraculously gets "healed"

I don't follow UFC actively or anything but I know the rules and a good amount about it but I still don't know how it is scored exactly :lol

I thought it was really close though with TJ pulling it out at the end but the judges thought otherwise

By the way I feel I haven't checked in on this thread in a while.

Just want to keep you in the loop. I have a good feeling. It's the year of Tabris. Going on Asia trip. Going to win a Super Bowl and a Stanley Cup in the same year.

Too lazy to photoshop it but replace Penny with Tabris.

I survived my week long trip

The Stars fucking suck ass, it was time to fucking face reality

Defense sucks, goaltending is non existent, and our PK gives away free goal coupons every time they're on the ice.

Who was the idiot that said This is the best team since 1993?

Because I don't think so.
That was Red_Man! The dude who continues to remind people of the positives as if he's ultimately responsible and about to be fired.

I don't know why the Nucks are so bad. They were perfectly mediocre last year...

Sedins are still boss at least
Support players getting old, support players still too young, key injuries, at best a mediocre team on paper

I hate that they don't have what it takes to finish bottom 5. I'm confident that they'll get top 10, though, but for that to happen they HAVE to miss the playoffs. I hope they won't disappoint me.

I rather live a life of perpetual mediocrity where you always just barely get into the playoffs then suck for a couple years at the chance of a team that is favoured in the playoffs.

For the amount of times a team has rebuilt successfully, there's more then double that haven't.

And that punchers chance the playoffs always bring is worth more to me.

Patches on pace for 38 goals, but people will still shit on him because reasons.

Probably because he's a floater who happens to have an elite shot and a knack for empty netters. I haven't seen him play hard in a few years now. Also, dat monotone cliche ridden captain. Talk about a lateral move from Gionta. Subban should have been captain. He has actual human emotions and fire.

He's a better Captain than Gionta ever will be.
Gionta was a fucking fraud. This is his first year as Captain so I'm giving him a pass for now, if you actually listen to some of interviews instead of being a prick you'd see that he actually gives a rats ass about this team. So piss off Solo. I sometimes wonder how this team would look if Gallagher or Subban was Captain

I'm sick and tired of people shitting on Pacioretty. I'm sorry if I'd seen little unhinged right now. This team is driving me insane

It's okay to be mad, Creeper. You should be. It's a travesty for a team to go like 20-5 and then flip that ratio around over the next 25 games. It's an embarrassment, and how Therrien has held onto his job over the past month is beyond me. Obviously, the team has a lot of issues and needs a LOT of help beyond just the head coach, but that's where it has to start. If nothing changes except Therrien being replaced, I would expect a fairly notable improvement from the team.
 
Do you guys think we should consider Trading Plekanec at the trade deadline or wait until the summer?

Because hey.. If Kadri or another 1C is available...

I doubt anyone wants Plekanec now that he signed that extension. If you wanna talk about a player that gets a lot of shit and doesn't deserve any of it, let's talk about Plekanec.

What's he saying

he's shouting a lot, complaining about the 4 year extension, complaining about Gilbert, complaining about the tinordi trade, complaining about the teams regression over the past 3 seasons, complaining about the system, etc etc...

he's also complaining about the people who refuse to blame MT for anything, he's on fire it's hilarious

Tony Marinaro is the best, his rant about Price finding his dogs during the playoffs against Boston was hilarious.

This is such old time hockey bullshit rhetoric speaking. Just because he's not out there trying to get 8 hits a game doesn't make him a floater, he's an elite scorer who has also developed into a fantastic two way player. Only 3 other players in the entire league have scored more goals than him in the last 3 years, only 1 more player has scored more points when the game is tied or there is less than 10 minutes left. I can take anyone seriously who calls him an empty net specialist. Do people forget he also missed all of summer with rehab and is still on pace for almost 40 goals?
