2013 NHL Regular Season Thread

[Bradesmaen]

What the hell happened to these refs in the offseason? They're horrible. Marleau pushes Goligoski over and he loses his edge, stick nowhere near the legs or skates.. and its tripping.

Torts is shielding Lundqvist from those bouncy Montreal boards and energetic Habs fans...

 

[PalaceGun]

Lars Eller making the Rangers look silly tonight.

Superb skills.

 

[Bradesmaen]

The most non-chalant hockey fight in the league. Benn v Thornton. Check it out on the tubeyous.

 

[TheStinger]

Patches is becoming quite the prat lately. Had every reason to go after McDonagh, but slamming into the boards and smiling when he gets up bleeding is a little bit over the top. Needs to pull his head in really.

Was good once it got going though.

 

[PalaceGun]

Not the first time McDonagh has voluntarily put himself in a vulnerable position, he knew contact was coming and did nothing about it.

Tried to draw a penalty and did, well done...

Rangers in huge trouble. Playing like ass to begin with but the injury list is reaching (and near surpassing) Ottawa level.

Nash, Del Zotto, Girardi, McDonagh, Powe and Asham all doubtful.

The city needs its King now more than ever.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Oh well, May, June and July looks free for me.

Not quite sure what Kool Keith is going to do about the Rangers' mess...

 

[PalaceGun]

Not going to get much plaudits for beating those two chumps.

Very favourable first up draw sweeping the Albertan basket cases. Now six in a row at home.

I smell a big Charks hiccup in March...

A month off on this one...

I see they are making a broad street bullies movie.

should be entertaining.

Rob Zombie is making the movie. Reckons he'll start filming in the fall.

 

[PalaceGun]

If the Islanders can somehow make the playoffs Tavares will win the Hart.

Dominating almost everyone.

 

[Hawks1523]

Can Vancouver keep luongo forever? Especially with games like that. A few unlucky goals in there

 

[greatfox]

Flames come from 2 down in the last 2 minutes, scoring 2 goals in 30 seconds to win the game! I was getting worked up just watching the scoreboard on the Flames website! What a shot from Glencross to win!!

 

[iluvparis]

Could be a season defining win (probably won't be).

 

[scottyjc]

Watching Kings/Ducks - Brown gets the penalty shot. I would have thought 2 mins on the PP would have been more beneficial

 

[Dirty Bird]

Why couldn't Bruce Almighty have been set in some other city.
Being a Sabre fan based on that movie is kinda saddening with all the losing

Imagine his stats if it weren't for the lock out....absolutely destroying other teams

 

[PalaceGun]

Tonight Jay Bouwmeester passes Guy Charron as the all-time leader in NHL games with out playing a playoff game (735).

Don't forget he didn't play in any playoff games in junior either.

 

[catters078]

wont be playing in any this year either (unless hes traded)

 

[catters078]

A couple of trades.

LA send gagne back to philly for a pick

Dallas trades Ryder back to Montreal for Erik cole (montreal get a pick too)

Why on earth would dallas do this? whats the point

PalaceGun can you tell us what cole has been like this year, because ryder has been solid (6goals 8assists in 19 games). Hes been very good scoring in the last year and a bit, im not sure of your lines, but if you intend to put him with galchenyuk he will be a good veteran scoring presence

Cole has been a bit unlucky with goal scoring this season, he's hit a few posts, robbed by a few great saves etc. There have been a couple of games where I might question the effort (no more than 2 or 3).

I'm liking this trade a lot as I didn't like seeing Ryder leave Montreal to begin with although he did have a poor final year... I do think Ryder will be playing with Galchenyuk and I'm looking forward to that.

I like this trade even more with the third rounder thrown in as well (that was surprising). Another opportunity for Timmons to work his magic.

I'm thinking Joe is looking for more leadership and maybe some size down the wing? and/or Ryder has told him he wants out.

Whatever the case, once again, well played M Bergevin.

 

[PalaceGun]

More cap room as well.

BANG!

May as well give that silly GM award that Burkey thought up to M Bergevin right now.
