Hockey Trash Talk & BS thread

What was the Canucks best moment? Not a whole lot to remember. It's kind of like the Nashville thing. You hang banners for whatever is positive when not much has happened in your history.

 

That's right ster, at least 52 years ago the leafs had a great moment.

 

I hate to agree with this guy ^ but he's right ya know.

 

die

 

How bout dem Leafs ?

obviously Babcock was the problem

 

my Caps

Kings are toilets

 

Lol. Maybe I am biased, since I'm a Patrick O'Sullivan fan but his stories about Burrows changed how I viewed him. Seems like a bit of a tool to be honoring. But just my opinion. Canucks had plenty of good players, so not sure what the point is of recognizing a role player who was on the edge of being dirty.

Pens game was good. Might be a bit of a goalie controversy in PGH. Will be interesting with Murray in a contract year and likely looking to double his salary. Not sure what is going to happen.

 

Jesus, $410 CAD for a decent helmet and visor now (Tack 710 with proclip) . The new concussion tech is good I'm sure but decent fitting and feeling helmets shouldn't be that crazy priced

 

Have you seen the video of Ovechkin working on his helmet with a blow torch?

 

Ya I buy a decent one but it's always on the end of year sales. I don't remember paying more than 50% off for any gear in years

 

Didn't have much choice this time. The foam is cracking out of my Vector 10. It lasted like 7 years so I can't complain.

 

Flamable foam plus a blowtorch could be fun.

 

Ya I guess that's true. I have a couple helmets, one no visor is we ever play something like pickup ball hockey here your forced to wear one, one with a visor I use for the competitive ball hockey league I play and one with one of those titanium cages I use for ice hockey. Got tired of getting hit near the eye
Sticks are the big one. I go through a couple in ice a year and 3-4 in Ball hockey. Of course I am a princess about them too and need decent ones

 

The Wild continue to climb, now all the way into a playoff spot. Points in 11 games in a row.

 

Arent those cheaper than the 3DS though? That was the one I was looking at. Mine is a few years old and I need a new one also.

Also, going to Kessel tribute night as he makes his triumphant return to Pittsburgh. Can't wait.

 

Yeah, there are more expensive lids but I didn't like the fit of anything except the high end Tack and one of the high teir Bauers. From there I just went with the cheaper option.

 

you scope prostockhockey.com or ebay ?

 

I support local on equipment. No point ordering online when I need the local place to stay open to keep my skates sharp and my ref laces in stock.

The helmet price BTW was roughly the same online.

 

Leafs win

 

Was a great night on Friday. Big win, Jarry was amazing and a great ovation for 81. Glad I got to experience it w a couple hockey friends (I'm on the right in 81 jersey)
