2011-2012 NHL Regular Season Thread

Are the Islanders this bad or are the NHL paying them to play bad for Sid?

 

[stay true]

While the Isle's are terrible, both scenarios are equally as likely to be true.

Bylsma needs to bench Crosby for the rest of the game before Pierre explodes on the bench. Getting out of hand even for Pierre's standards.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Surely of more importance is the fact that Columbus finally won another game..

 

[TheStinger]

2 Goals 2 Assists.

Is there like another league he can join now that he has had his warmup game?

Neat, I'm Blair Jordan, and that's my buddy in Afghanistan right now

 

[Bradesmaen]

Only problem.. He's a leafs fan

 

[stay true]

You missed the bigger problem, he's (Canada81) also a Pies fan.

 

[thejester]

That's crazy scenery though. Would love to go to Afghanistan one day...y'know, when it's not a war zone. Or full of crazy religious nuts.

We're both Leafs fans, but I don't think my friend (in the picture) has picked an AFL team yet, although he's watched a few games with me when he was back home here.

2 Goals 2 Assists.

I felt terrible dropping an in-form Evander Kane to active Sid off the IR.

I don't feel as bad now

Welcome back to the NHL Sidney Crosby

They're bad - their scoreline from their past two games is 0-11

Mind you, besides fight night, what else have they achieved the past season or so...

Apparently 1/2 the fans in Montreal are skinheads. Why are they all bald?!!? One of the bigger hockey crowd fights I think i've seen.

Welcome back to the NHL Sidney Crosby

Great to see him back and straight in the action to be honest.

Love him or hate him - the NHL needs him.

ditto. he's the 'lionel messi of world hockey', the game is better for having him involved in it.

 

[PalaceGun]

Just one game.

I was going to add Crosby for Steen, let's see if he gets 4 points...

Steen replies with a goal in the first minute. Three more points to go.

 

[PalaceGun]

Yzerman and co wishing they kept Smith instead of Roloson right about now. The old man is done...

If Shanny is consistent, Doughty should get a small holiday for his dirty move on Oshie in the last 2 secs of the game

Stewart got 3 games for a worse move on Kronwall so I'd expect 1-3 for Doughty

 

[thejester]

Two goals within 30 seconds of the start of the Flyers/Islanders game. Streuth.

$2500 fine.. of his 7 mill.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Boston trying to rough up Buffalo, make them look soft. Buffalo taking it and scoring goals.

 

[Scully2Folau]

I only just finally watched the Lucic hit on Miller...

 

[PalaceGun]

They're going to need a new tin of red paint in Carolina. Habs have hit the post 5 times.

 

[Drummond]

Ian White is super duper!
