NHL Lockout With Your Cock Out |OT|
- Thread starter Marvie_3
- Start date
All I have for co-op on Steam is L4D, TF2, and Dead Island
We need to get some NHL-GAF multiplayer on during the lockout.
Wouldn't mind this.
I have L4D 1 and 2, TF2, and if you want to see me die on a constant basis, Counter Strike: Source.

We do. It's called NHL 13.All I have for co-op on Steam is L4D, TF2, and Dead Island

Start hating these players right now:
Bryan Bickell
Corey Crawford
Ray Emery
Michael Frolik
Duncan Keith (only part-time hate need here)
Marcus Kruger
Steve Montador
Johnny Oduya
Viktor Stalberg
Also start hating pretty much any Russian that has ever played for the Blackhawks and almost every Blackhawks player from ~1997-2006. Better get started now because there's a lot of them to hate.

Racist.
Yes. He was.
Speed is the only thing he uses. Terrible hands. Zero hockey IQ. Zero physicality. Zero defense. If it weren't for games against Columbus, Stalberg would be fucking worthless.

EA needs a new hockey game this year:
No he just wanted an excuse to play somewhere with no pressure.
Notice how all of the NA born players going to Europe have never or never will win a cup. I don't blame the european players going since its one in a lifetime to play in your home country.
Edit: yep and Spezza just went to the Swiss league, Been saying it for years, Ottawa will never win a cup with him as the #1 center.

Fuck Stalborg. Dudes an assclown
How does that correlate with him going to the Swiss league?
BECAUSE CAKE BOSS.
How come I don't see the Mike Richards, Getlafz, the Bergerons, the Toews players rushing to get to Europe? All I see is already highly paid players that don't need the money like Thornton, Nash, Spezza rushing to play in europe, all of them have received flack in their careers for either beings soft and underachieving when it matters the most, the playoffs.

Tough to lump Nash into a "underachieving in the playoffs" crowd when he's only been there once and had 4 points in 4 games.
Dude, you're really reaching here.

He's just saying what Fehr wants to him to say. Everything we hear from both sides is PR bullshit.
The difference between the two sides isn't worth losing an entire season for.
LOL were you one of those people who wanted Alfie traded years ago as well.
P.S. Spezza is nearly PPG in the postseason, try again.

All aboard! The Love train!
Yeah, it's all money. Once they come to an agreement on how to split HRR, everything falls into place. All that mess about 5 year ELC and arbitration goes away.
It's exactly like the NBA lockout in that respect. The NBA owners talked about how they wanted to change the system and whatever, but once they got the revenue split, the talk about a hard cap and stuff died.

Yeah and Bettman is Stern's protege so he's following the same path. Probably calls him up daily for advice.
Like who ? Bettman does what the owners want, it doesn't really matter who the commissioner is. The big longtime owners like Snider and Jacobs run the show. The rest of the owners simply fall in line.
Thornton is going back, partially, so that his wifes parents can spend time with their grandchild. He met her in Davos during the last lockout and her family is all still there. He also seems to just really want to keep playing. So to sum up my thoughts: you're fucking stupid.
Couture is heading to another Swiss league team, Demers is playing in Finland, and Handzus is playing in Slovakia.
Yeah, I never got this. Then again, cakeboss.
Oh sorry, should be underachieving in the regular season since he only played 4 playoffs games his entire career so far.
Oh ok so the entire underachieving team in California is going to Europe, nice to know.
So speaking of actual hockey news. The OHL is trying out something in regards to fighting.

Flash, Goc, Bergy, Kulikov all to head to Europe.
And the argument for playes being lazy for playing in Europe is stupid. Players have their bodies conditioned for the season. Sitting or even light practice for the season hurts them. I'd rather have them keep in playing shape, ready for the season if it comes.

Sometimes I wish Snider wasn't a gigantic asshole.... It cuts both ways though. Totally love that we got two winter classics.

I figure that's why Holmgren throws money around, knowing his boss will get a nice 10-20% player salary cut in an upcoming CBA
Then again I think Snider gives a LOT to charity without blowing his own horn so he's not that big of an asshole.
Terrible rule. If you want to get rid of fighting in hockey just ban it outright. To say its only allowed a certain number of times per year or else you get suspended is hypocritical.
"Its ok for you to fight in game 5 but in game 72 you're getting suspended."
This is really stupid.
I'm all for getting fighting out of Hockey, but this is a dumb rule. Go all in, don't do this half assed nonsense.

I like it. You can't really just pull the trigger to eliminate something, need to gradually tighten the rules.
I doubt fighting will ever go away anyway but if they get rid of the staged fighting it will be a huge plus.

Ether!
Ya, ether coming from a Sens fan. I guess they'd know underachieving pretty well though.
You disowning Spezza for going to Europe, cockboss?

This coming from a Sharks fan, wish I could think of something clever to say that didn't involve pots, kettles and the color black.
Acid with the return zinger!
LOLOLOLOL this is coming from a Sharks fans lolol
And, somehow, we care less than Karlsson cares about defensive zone coverage.
Dumb. Will other enforcers take shots at players knowing that the other team won't do anything because it would be Joe Fighter's 13th fight?
Or about the same as Thornton and Marleau care about winning the cup.
Now... it might seem like rocket science, which I know is prevalent in this thread, but the logical thing to do in that situation, is perhaps suspend the players taking shots at players to avoid the whole damn mess!
