2014/15 NHL Regular Season Thread

[Bradesmaen]

Has Quincey worn a "C"?

If so has Quincey, down in the third period against a big rival, told a ref to "Go **** himself." on the way to the penalty box and thus double up his two minute penalty?

That's great leadership right there.

Dustin "knee on knee" Brown? Dirty player, can't score.. great captain.

Yet two Cups. I suppose it was despite Brown's presence...

 

[PalaceGun]

it's ice hockey who cares about the captain

Not Vancouver and their Cupless run.

 

[Bradesmaen]

It was. He was a giant hindrance last year. Him and Mike Richards (former Captain of the Flyers) were playing on the 4th line together. Great pairing of spuds and s**t captains. Watching the Epix series, Matt Greene and Doughty are the captains of that team. Even if Doughty is a complete douche, he's a good leader.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Refs in the Sharks Sens game have never heard of a hip check. Luckily Stone took a penalty because Couture nailed him with a good and legal check. They called it tripping.

 

[Bradesmaen]

And there go the playoffs. Oh well, makes April and May easier for me this year.

The Politicians have swept California with their third string goaltender.

Impressive.

Who had 3.5GAA in the AHL.. I can't wait til the end of the season, if Wilson isn't fired then CBJ here I come!

That's more on the team than the goaltender. Binghamton stinks from what I've heard. Really awful.

22-26-6-1, not exactly tearing it up but it's no Edmonton. They are also the highest scoring team in the East... so to me it looks like he's playing on the AHL version of the Dallas Stars (Texas Stars don't count)

One of only 3 Eastern teams to do so going back a fair bit right? Remember the Rangers being bought up as the second on our most recent California trip.

 

[PalaceGun]

Of course, but it would just be an ultimate bitchslap in the face to Toronto. I reckon Clarkson comes out and scores a hatty on debut.

Blanked, along with his teammates, by the Devils. 16mins, 2 shots, 2PIMs (boarding).

Rangers definitely did, Islanders did the SoCal sweep but couldn't beat the Charks.

Montreal gets a chance this week.

 

[Kakkle]

So much for your strong feeling about another d-man coming in... you sent one out.

Still got time!

 

[PalaceGun]

Still got time!

Does the Son of Scotty have any draft picks left?

 

[Bradesmaen]

Still got time!

John Scott can play defence.

 

[PalaceGun]

Reckon the Blackhawks haven't forgotten what Scott can do.

Think the Vermette deal was a stinker, potentially a pick around 20. Don't know much about the prospect. Good dealing from Don of the Desert.

Glad Montreal stayed away...

 

[Bradesmaen]

10 points in 49 games at the AHL level, so probably not going to be your point scoring defenceman, but apparently is rated for his defensive ability.

 

[Marns]

Red wings only team not to lose two games in a row in regulation.

James Neal is still a piece of s**t

9 points out of 12 on a tough road trip. Pretty damn happy with that

That slashing penalty he took at the end was typically selfish BS from him. Absolutely no need for it, and cost his team any chance (no matter how slim) at tying up the game.

Not Vancouver and their Cupless run.

We failed in game 7 two times cause of the captain? Keeping in mind half of Linden's legend in Vancouver is about his captaincy, and the opposing captain went on to become the most hated Canuck of all time......

That's an ok deal for NY, but man, when you think that this deal probably doesn't need to happen if they let Girardi walk and keep Stralman

 

[Hawks1523]

Erik Cole for not much at all. Insurance incase Franzen is out for the year. I'm alright with this

 

[Baird]

Eventful first period. Get Allen out of the net pls

 

[Phone]

sure looking forward to the canucks keeping all their UFAs so we can take our inevitable series against LA to maybe 5 games

Linden's leadership would have elevated a rather mediocre club (.500 record) to extend the Prince of Wales Conference leaders to seven games.

Who knows what happened in the dressing room during Games 6 and 7 vs the Bruins in 2011 but that was terrible, Games 3 and 4 in Boston were blowouts as well from memory. I'm finding it hard to imagine Henrik Sedin rallying the troops, doesn't look like it happened. Doing bugger all about his brother Daniel Sedin getting manhandled by Marchard was just embarrassing.

Having Luongo captain the team before that was silly, just stop the puck...

 

[PalaceGun]

Leafs shut out for the 8th time this season on the road, twice in back-to-back road games.

I wonder what the record is in a season.
