Hockey Trash Talk & BS thread

Same old Kane. Takes a blatantly obvious and unnecessary tripping penalty 200' from his own net and yaps the official all the way to the penalty box.

 

Worked with his cousin, heard many stories, can 100% agree with this assessment

 

Well he gets 20+ minutes of Ice time a night, might be just a night off.

 

Maybe. Would be unusual unless he is hurt no?

Usually vets get optional skates or practices and such, not games off. Maybe a game off towards the end of the season when a playoff spot is locked in, but mid season?

 

this sux's

Yeah, it does.

 

Yep, ‘sucks’ is an understatement.

 

Yes he is the Most Talented member of the NBC squad and a Great NHL Coach.

 

Armia ended up with the empty netter at the end of the game.

 

Allstar roster is such a joke. Not that it matters but it is just annoying. Kessel is the only Penguin that deserved to go. I get Sid but Letang? No, he's been hideous this year. Should've been Ghost or Carlson in that spot. Price prob should not go either but I get it. Sucks that Andersen or Howard can't go when they deserve it more (imo). There are always 'snubs' and especially with the current format, so I get it. Just making a point that it sucks for guys who are having a good year and deserve it but lose out to name value or roster structure.

 

There appears to be more that goes into the choosing than what players deserve what. It's a promotional tool that the league uses how they feel is best. I have never been a huge fan, but if they are going to be featuring 3 on 3 play, it could be fun.

 

Did you all hear about the trade Duclair to the Blackhawks for Panik?

 

Yeah, I don't think it's as amazingly huge as they are making it to be. Two under performers traded to try and get them going again with a few other bits involved.

 

I agree

That is awesome. I knew about the statue but not about the banner. Well deserved.

 

Mind blowing stat of the day...Goal differential by division:
Pacific: -49
Atlantic: -44
Metropolitan: -7
Central: +100

Also the Avs have already matched their win total from last year

 

Arizona, Vancouver, Buffalo and Ottawa at -168 pretty much kill those divisions

 

Beat me too it.
