Sometimes I wonder just how many pictures of Eller cube/manics/forza/binladen has taped to every wall in their shitty apartment.

 

[Sanjuro]

Chara! My god, that looked simple.

You only flip the hat backwards when you mean business.

lmfao I love the zero effort to center the gaf screenshot on the TV

 

[ATF487]

Fuck I missed those two third period goals, damnit

lol RASK

As you can tell, I have 0 photo editing experience.

Budaj's sv % at .860 since returning from the Olympics. Can't wait to see the Senator's tear him a new one on Saturday too.

It's more effort than Forza puts in to hiding his alts

Refs handing the Habs goals now.

LOLOLOLOL

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Lots and lots of Wild fans are unhappy with the team right now and most are centering it on Mikko Koivu.

While I disagree with this particular blame game, I have to wonder what his value is. Anybody here have any idea what their team or others would give up for him if he were to be on the block?

Holy cow I can't believe all the offers that came in from other teams I had no idea Koivu was that valuable.

But really does anybody have any ideas on how valuable he would be?

 

[Ether_Snake]

Oh that's how we can score, we must push the goalie in the net.

"Deep in the net!" I mean.

 

[lamaroo]

:lol

Real number one centre David Desharnais!

 

[Sanjuro]

Oh that's how we can score, we must push the goalie in the net.

It's like the old NHL video games where you just hack at the goaltender for no reason, but it actually works.

 

[calder]

Never made sense to me either. You take the most productive individual for the job. /theend

Habs aren't really in that bad of a spot. Coach does suck though and the Leafs are styling and profiling

Spoiler

into one another

.

Respectfully disagree. I don't care how good a coach is, if he can't communicate directly to a large percentage of the fanbase and media he can't do a real and important part of his job. To me the coach is often the real face of a team, and it's a big part of what makes a coach 'productive'.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

McGinn injured to start this game? FANTASTIC

 

[Fata1moose]

Ugh, all those Chicago fans there. People need to go to games!

I've only gone to one game this year, but I'm a broke college student.

What the hell are you doing, Keith?

Edit: Two Keith fuckups in less than 15 seconds.

Edit 2: And a penalty on Keith. Holy shit.

 

[Red_Man]

Puck was loose and never covered

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Giving my fantasty team some much needed PIM.

It's not his job to please the fanbase. That is ownership by other means than setting up a "fabulous" coach.

The coach's job is to prepare his team as best as possible to make his team successful.

That's a stupid mindset.

Don't worry our PP has been complete shit lately.

Therrien after the game:

"See!!! I told you, we are a grinding team, push goals in net, no fancy rush. You miss 3 times, we only grind to win"

 

[wsoxfan1214]

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON

 

[apocalidiot]

OMG

 

[Levyne]

That was weird...

 

[Marvie_3]

Thank you post. What a shitshow so far.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

THE POST CURSE BEGINS

 

[Levyne]

Even strength with the post

 

[apocalidiot]

Wow welcome back Raanta

 

[Fata1moose]

Man that looked like it went in on TV.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

And now the Hawks hit a post. :lol

 

[Marvie_3]

Fuck you post

 

[Sanjuro]

The hockey fan in me wants the refs to give the Habs more fake goals to keep this game interesting.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Holy fuck Carey WHO ARE YOU

 

[apocalidiot]

The Avs are fast as fuck

 

[Red_Man]

It only took Therrien 3 complete ass kickings to realize he should switch up the lines. Good job, good effort you fuck. Now maybe he can get his head out of his ass and figure out his D pairings are garbage.

 

[Marvie_3]

Nice job by Roszival to break his hip and fall down there

Hope Kesler is alright, looked painful.

Bordeleau murders a decent offensive zone possession. Good to see he's playing his normal game.

edit: DAT PACE OH MY GOODNESS

 

[Marvie_3]

This game is ridiculous so far

When is the last time a coach said anything meaningful or insightful to the mdeia/fans though?

They all parrot the same shit time and again. I'd rather have a guy who implements a system tailored to his team, not play dump and chase when 3/4's of the team was built to carry the puck.

The only risk/reward a professional coach has off the playing surface is how he handles the media.

Montreal is a one sport town and you're only looking to please one specific demographic, which only wants to win.

Loui Eriksson is completely invisible. Thank you Chiarelli for fleecing yourself and gimping your team for the next decade.

Still mad he sent Seguin to our division.

 

[trifelife]

Oh cool, how does that work then? Because the Canucks were known for constant diving in years past the obvious dives they do tonight don't count?

Bieksa went down pretty easy when he was cross-checked, but I haven't seen anything "obvious" tonight.

Known for constant diving. Sure, way to follow mainstream media and internet memes. The narrative is tired because every player on every team is constantly trying to gain a competitive advantage. If embellishing helps your team, why wouldn't you? It's not something special with the Canucks.

Maybe Winnipeg is so virtuous, blue-collar and scrappy they never need to sell a call. Take off eh

get it, like a Jet ha ha ha

You guys are REALLY underestimating how much the coach means to an organization outside what he does with the players. The coach talks to the media every single day. The coach's comments are the lede of 50% of the articles in the paper the day after a game.



Oh my god this new Old Spice commercial has terrified/horrified me too much to remember my train of thought wtf.
