Your own head coach doesn't even believe that.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That was a soft call on Richards....didn't really see all that much looked kinda like a dive from the one replay I saw....

Dale hunter knows when to play him.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

If he was a star player Hunter wouldn't have to pick and choose his spots with him. Wouldn't shock me if Hunter tries to get the GM to trade him in the off season.

Good win for the Caps today. Kings are totally dominating the Blues right now damn.

Caps are grinders baby

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Is it bad that I'd rather watch this 5-1 hockey game than any NBA playoff game? I cannot stand the NBA.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I thought the rangers let the game get away in the second. To finish the first the way they did, then not capatlize and build on it in the second period was a letdown. And the caps to their credit got the rangers into a wide open game which they cannot compete with.

They played better in the third but holtby was outstanding as well.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

what is this nba you speak of?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread

interesting stat from nhl.com Masisak:

#NYR fans did "Ovi sucks" at 8:00 of each period. #Caps scored in the next 33 seconds or less in two of the three periods.

can't argue with you here :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

So I turn the Blues/Kings game off at 2-0 (great goal by Kopitar btw) and then I find out they scored two more goals after that in the first alone. Kings are impressive right now. Would be funny if it was Kings/Flyers in the final. Richards and Carter back in Philly.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

He might have lead them in scoring but he wasn't there best player. That would be Rinne. Take him out and it probably doesn't matter what Radulov did.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

So, I had a dream last night that the Rangers and Flyers were playing game 4 with the Rangers leading the series 3-0. The game was tied with 6 seconds left in the 3rd and the face-off was down at the Flyers end. For some reason, I was playing and was standing at the point, puck comes to me after the face-off win and I snipe it into the net with about 2 seconds left in the game. :cool

So, clearly the Flyers and Rangers are going to advance. :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'm glad I had a boy.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

wait and the Flyers will get swept!! damn, that's some dream

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Caps got Melrosed today haha. He picked them to advance.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Hope it comes true! :D

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Jordan Staal trade rumors heating up. Not sure if I'd make this move.

http://blogs.edmontonjournal.com/201...al/?rel=898337

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I would kill for the Hawks to kill Staal...or Pavelski

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That'd be an absolute steal for the Pens. The Oilers would be pretty dumb to make that move.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Yeah I dunno but his stock might never be higher than it is right now. Toronto and Edmonton would probably be the top two places I see. Both could use a big center. Columbus maybe too but I doubt they do it though cause of what they'd have to give up to get him.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'm not sure what the Pens cap situation looks like but I can't imagine that they'll be able to afford him after this year. Trading him would be a smart move imo.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

As much as I'd love to have Staal, they need to be trading that pick for a top-tier D man.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That's the big debate right now. Both Staal and Crosby's contract are up after next year. They are tight on cap space as it is, so they likely cannot afford to keep all three centers. The most likely candidate to be moved is Staal, especially because his stock is high now. However, there is a faction arguing that Malkin should be traded because though Staal doesn't have the point total, he can do things Malkin cannot and Malkin gets moody at times.

I just feel like the Pens should get more of a sure thing in return than even the number one overall pick.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I think you're overrating Staal's value if you don't think #1 overall is enough. If he had a few years left on his deal at $4 million you might be right but he's going to get a pretty nice raise, and Yakupov is supposed to be a can't miss prospect. I'm sure he'd live to play with Malkin too.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The Leafs could really use Staal. Besides his skills, having someone who has some sort of championship experience is something this team desperately needs. They are floundering.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The Leafs may not be able to afford him either when his contract expires. I think they should really see what they can get for Kessel this off season and start the rebuild over again.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'll admit to looking at Staal with Black and Gold goggles, and I know little about Yakupov other than his name. Staal did have 25 goals, and would've likely had 35-40 if he didn't miss 20 games. He had a great playoff all things considered. If he stays healthy he's a likely Selke candidate. But you are right, he will be due for a nice raise.

We shall see what happens.

Kovalchuk is out of Game 2 for the Devils

Radulov continues to help the Predators:

http://predators.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=630266

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Wow. Preds are falling apart right now.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Nashville suspended Radulov and Andrei Kostitsyn for game 3....some sort of team rules violation. WTF are they thinking? This is the playoffs and you're going to voluntarily suspend two of your top offensive talents, when your down 2 games?!? WTF mate?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Staal is definitely a 1st and plus.

Guy does it all, PK, PP--great guy even strength too. No one really watched him closely cause of Malkin and Crosby. The guy is a stud.

McKenzie said that the brothers would like to play together one day. Eric is in Carolina for four years, so...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

has to have been pretty serious to get suspended at this point in the season

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Elliotte Friedman is reporting is was a curfew violation. Doesn't sound very serious to me anyway.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

must have been realllllly late! ;)

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

no way...although i really hope if flyers advance, its to play the caps!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

yup - we need defense. I think with an average to solid (as opposed to the current bad-ok) defense, the oilers make the playoffs.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Nashville is the BYU of the NHL.

I think he can be, but will the potential play out? Only time will tell.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

good question. maybe? if bryz can do it....?

a more solid D would help swing that towards yes, maybe.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I live in Springfield which is where he played in the AHL, and he's the best goalie I saw them have in a while. I'd like to see him become the guy in Edmonton.

Does Canada have anything other than TSN, CTV and CBC? ;)

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

....or Sportsnet, but TSN seems more likely. Part of me really wants it to air late-night so they can air it uncensored. The other part of me doesn't care as I'll just download the HBO version anyway. :lol

Wheels are coming off in Nashville. Sucks for them.

I mean, let's be honest, we were all waiting for those 2 to do something stupid.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

i was going to get all indignant and defensive, but no, not really..... other than sportsnet :)

TSN and CBC have great coverage though. they are awesome though...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Sucks a little. We'll miss them on offense, but offense hasn't been our problem so far. Maybe Tootoo will be able to provide a spark on defense. Tootoo is a huge crowd favorite in Nashville, so at least the fans will get rowdy when he hits the ice. It'll also lead to more ice time for Hornqvist, which could be a good thing.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Radulov has been the worst player of either team, by far. He might be the worst player of this entire round.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Would love to see some of the Wings highlighted on 24/7 like Lidstrom and Datsyuk

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Personally i'm not worried about losing them. Radulov is a player that I do not respect and do not like. We won all year without him so fuck him.

We don't need to score tons of points to be the Coyotes. Everyone was predicting a low scoring series for a reason. That reason being that that is the style of hockey we normally play. If the Preds can just get back to that defense first mentality and play the way we played all year, we can beat PHX any day of the week.
