NHL 2011/2012 Thread
FINE. I'll start it.
Should be a fun offseason for a lot of teams. Who is going to land Brad Richards? Ehrhoff? Kaberle? Vokoun? Bryzgalov? Gagne? Turco.....lololololololol Some team(s) might be moving, interesting to see how that pans out. Nice to know our sport will actually have a season. Ben Smith - Marcus Kruger - Jeremy Morin = best line of 2011-2012 |

I might have to jump in here tomorrow, I hope not though. Then I have to start thinking about the worse thing ever, a possible Nick Lidstrom retirement.

Kaberle=one of the most overrated blueliners of the past decade.

So are we going to use this thread? Or is Swordo going to make the official one?

If another thread actually gets started it will in fact look lamer than this thread being started a little early.

Isn't that the whole point? I want to talk about next season and the offseason. This thread was started basically the same time in relation to when last years thread was started. If you guys really give that big of a shit who started it, feel free to start your own. :lol |
Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
Swordo already sent a nasty letter to the Oilers organization about this mix up.
Now the Oilers are going to win the Cup. |

As for this thread, I honestly don't care who made it I just thought we all had an understanding to start a tradition within the Ants hockey community to have the fan of the team who sucked the most start the thread. And since the Flyers are now in golf mode I guess I can talk about the Flyers. I am glad Carcillo will be gone. I know a lot of Philadelphia people will be calling for a new goaltender and they are all wrong. Bobrovsky had a hell of a rookie campaign all things considered and deserves the chance for next year. Its also hard to figure out what else to say they need because of the cap space issue. I really like our defense right now, but they are getting old and they are paid pretty well. I wouldn't mind seeing Coburn moved if we could get something good in return, but I don't know. Still there is a long time til big moves are made. |

How is it a tradition that the team that sucked the most gets to start the thread? If I recall correctly, didn't Joe start the 10-11 thread last year?

Also, funny Panthers story. I met a German couple at Oktoberfest in Germany this year that were HUGE NHL fans! They both followed the sport an knew a lot about it. They informed me they would be making their way to the USA for the first time ever and would be attending an NHL game! I asked what game they would see....they were lucky enough to score Panthers vs. Thrashers tickets in Florida! They told me they couldn't wait to see what an NHL crowd was like in person. I told them the might be let down as they would probably be the only 2 people in the Arena! |
Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
:lol "they were lucky enough to score panthers vs thrashers tickets"
It's sad but true that that is probably the easiest ticket to get in all of sports |

This is the first time I've ever been excited to see what the sabres will do during free agency. Usually it's damage control but they have a chance to really make a splash this year

This thread should stick around only because us, as a collective NHL body, can make fun of Blackhawks fans, despite the fact that they have won a Cup more recently than the Flyers, which I am sure they will ultimately point out.

that nonsense aside, i am also extremely happy happy carcillo can GTFO, but have to admit the flyers kind of fucked themselves over as far as contracts go. 1) what were they thinking giving jody shelly three years at over 1 million? for how little he contributes, that was a stupid, stupid move that wastes cap space 2) why in gods name hartnell is earning in excess of 4 million per year is beyond me, but if he doesnt start playing the way he did against the hawks last year in the cup finals, he needs to figure out where he wants to go so we can waive his NTC and ship him out. he didnt contribute shit this post-season and the one time he had a chance to stick up for himself and his team against a physically dominating bruins team, chara literally punched him in the mouth and knocked him down until he shut up. it was embarassing to watch. 3) cobourn or carle - i feel like were gonna have to keep one and trade the other. if ths is the case, id much rater get rid of carle and keep cobourn. pronger n timmonen arent getting any younger, odonnell sucks, syvret is meh, and bartulus needs to play more before he can be accurately judged. we need defensive help badly (which, btw, i dont get how you can say youre happy with our defense after boston literally played with us at will). 4) we NEED a goalie. i dont care how poorly our team played at times, because all the other times our team played well, our goalie(s) let in easy/shitty goals that really changed the dynamic of quite a few games. Bob has a lot of potential, but after this year bouche sadly needs to find a new home. the only reason the buffalo sabres got into game 7 - the only reason the flyers didnt take game 2 - the only reason we couldnt win the cup last year - it's simply our goalies letting poor shots that should be stopped trickle in. yes the team around the goalie makes a difference. but again, if the sabres round 1 showing cant explain why a great goalie is game-changing on the playoffs, idk what will. all in all, next years team is going to be significantly different than this years, and with all the cap were spending on guys like carter, richards, briere, pronger, timmo, (soon enough JVR), etc - were gonna have to make some moves.

1) Signing him after we already had Carcillo was beyond stupid. 2) Hartnell is like our Matt Cooke. Definitely does make as many questionable hits, but he is more agitator than hockey player. Also like Cooke he does have the ability to hurt you on both the offensive side and defensive side of the game. That being said he does not deserve to be making what he is making. 3) I like Carle more, but I think it is more of a personal opinion. I would like to keep both if our cap space allowed. 4) I don't care how many people say we need a new goalie, I am going to disagree each time. Bob had a hell of a rookie season and he is only 23. I feel we need to give Bob full reigns of this team and see where he takes us. One of the reasons why we never had a stud goaltender is because we don't give them a fair shake. |

Braydon Coburn is going to be an excellent defenseman, boy can that guy skate. The Flyers would be fucking dumb to get rid of him considering both Pronger and Timonen are 36.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
Well obviously the team moving West would be Winnepeg, but I find it hard to believe they would take the Central Division spot. They would switch with Minnesota and Minnesota would be in the Central. That's perfect for everyone if you ask me

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
Nashville would make sense since they can just throw them in the SE division and not have to change anything else around. I mean they could always put Columbus in the SE division too but I think Nashville makes more sense geographically.

Then out west Winnipeg is the NW no question. Then Minny could move to the central and you coould maybe try to revive the old Hawks/North Stars rivalry. Then there are some who feel because of location Minny makes more sense to stay in the NW to play Winnipeg. So the Avs would then move to the Pacific and the Stars would go back to the Central. That also makes sense. Then I've also read one idea why do we really need 6 divisions? Other than putting a banner in the rafters it doesn't do that much. Every division has at least one good team now so the whole division champ getting a top 3 spot isn't what it used to be when the SE sucked and you were either #3 or not in the playoffs. Then you also don't have to worry about who's in what division really. |
Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
Buffalo should be in the same division as Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. That would be a good one to move the Jackets into as well if they were to move to the East

The whole hockey in the South project the NHL tried has really failed miserably. I think the league would actually be in a better position now if they hadn't tried that expansion.
