Hockey Trash Talk & BS thread

lol....not I got a lame ass "sorry, we're just giving you more time to make your picks." aka the page timed out.

EDIT: Yeah, some timed out page every time.

 

Thats what I was getting for a while too. I had somehow gotten my bracket submitted earlier today before it completely shut down and so i'm able to join different groups, but I get hung up if I try to create a new bracket.

 

I'm glad the moves are all in-house ... just not buying it was done to mirror the Galaxy.

Maybe Beckerman was tired of little Chris Sutter running up and downs (cwutididthere) the aisle ?

 

pppl did dont worry

 

We just talked about this, what, two weeks ago and I said that if Lombardi didn't ditch Sutter quickly both of them would be out of work. Looks like I was bang on.

 

You were speculating gibberish. Is it still Thanksgiving up there too ?

 

Somebody is dumb huh

 

LOL. Believe what you want but everyone except you knew this was a good possibility. Sutter either needs to change his approach or he's done with this league.

 

Agree, I stated it would be around next season, if 1st qtr results weren't favorable.

interesting article.

 

oh my fuck some leaf fan im reading right now is complaining that shanahan didnt blow the team up a year before and got mcdavid because he is better than matthews. Can someone please brainwash me into not cheering for this team......i cant take the stupidity of this fan base anymore.

 

never satisfied

 

its actually insane, i have watched this team for 20+ years and i cannot believe how lucky we are to pick nylander, marner, matthews right in a row and get rid of all the shit contracts like we did. This year was a dream situation and everything is gravy now. I cannot believe anyone could find a negative. Im so sick of it. Dumbest fan base in the world

 

Everyone but leaf fans have known this for years!

 

ya I have said it for years now too. It sucks that I am a regular fan and have to be involved with these idiots. Thats why I never really engage in arguments with people anymore because I see the shit you deal with

 

Oilers fans were stupid to keep buying tickets over the last 10 years making management think they were on the right path!

 

Anyone make the bracket yet?

 

I was just going to post that

"In the end, loyalty seemed to be Lombardi’s biggest fault. Dustin Brown and Marian Gaborik each have at least four years remaining on high-priced contracts that are nearly impossible to move. He hung onto Mike Richards one more year instead of enacting a get-out-of-jail-free compliance buyout, leaving the Kings with a cap penalty for six more years. Anze Kopitar, 29, just completed the least productive season of his NHL career - in the first year of an eight-year, $80 million deal.

Kopitar admitted struggling to shoulder the leadership responsibilities at times, undoubtedly made awkward by the fact that Brown was stripped of the ‘C’ by Lombardi last summer.

Some of Lombardi’s recent trades will leave marks for years to come. Most damaging was trading a first-round pick for defenceman Andrej Sekera at the trade deadline in 2015, only to miss the playoffs. Adding Ben Bishop to a team with Jonathan Quick and in desperate need of scoring was a head-scratcher; it took Bishop 24 days to win his first game with the Kings after the trade.

Lombardi didn’t help his image by assembling the Team USA roster at last September’s World Cup of Hockey which had the worst showing for American men in best-on-best competition in history."

 

Hockey fans in Canada are just never satisfied. I've heard just as many crazy stupid ideas from every team's fans up here as the Leafs, especially when it comes to a players value.
