:BANG

Absolutely the first thing that comes to my mind as well. MY one buddy is a big Wings fan, so I've seen that 98 playoffs/wings recap video like 20 times...

Fuck that Game 2. Fuck Esa Tikkanen. Fuck Kris Draper.

Of all the meltdowns, that one probably still makes me angriest. We had that game. God dammit.

Still remember that night. Couldn't believe he missed it. Big difference between 1-1 and 2-0. Then the next game Wings scored like 30 seconds in. If the Caps weren't feeling bad enough...

I hate you Tim

(But seriously, fuck your team)

If I knew about the Caps back then, what I know now, I would have been totally floored that they made it to the Finals. I didn't know about their history at the time.

Re: The NHL Thread
 
Oh trust me, we were all floored. I still clearly remember the feeling when Joe Juneau scored the OT winner to send them there.

0% surprised when they got swept.

The idea of making it a ticketed event that Ticketmaster is in charge of...what a joke.

It was ticketed? WTF? Please tell me there was no charge.....

I know this is something that Tim and Matt really wanted me to bring up in the thread today, so here it is...

On this very day in 1989, the NHL changed for the better. Adam Foote was drafted 22nd overall by the Nordiques.

I shall now proceed to give a 13-part essay on why he has been the best thing for the game of hockey since the red line. Prepare yourselves.

Or, just watch my favorite YouTube video of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0OvTnoKWrk

All hail.

Just watching the post game stuff from the Blackhawks win. Really awesome stuff. Captures my imagination of what that must feel like as a player or fan. For the players the journey of the season all paying off in the end. For the fans, the journey of chasing the cup year in and year out. I realize the Hawks have won 2 others recently, but 1938 is a long time to go without seeing it happen at home.

For this Rangers fan, the journey chasing the cup continues. Here's to the chase!

Matty can relax a little. While Chelios will be working with the Wings D, he will not a be bench coach. So won't have to see him nearly as much.

No fees or anything, event was "free", but most tickets ended up being on Craigslist and Stubhub, etc. for $50-$100. Saw some as much as $300.

Sucks on the scalping but I do get why it was ticketed now. I thought it was a parade/rally down the streets like they do in say NY or Boston. Was not aware it was held at soldier field.

Love Crow dropping another F Bomb.

So rumor of Sharp possibly being moved next week. I think he goes. He'll get you a nice return. Bickell should be gone too but I can't see much of a return there. I don't see Crawford being traded. Had they lost early, maybe. But he was great after that crap start.

sharp and seabrook to CBJ for rychel, atkinson and a 2nd rounder.

Yeah Bowman said that Crow is staying.....Saw the Sharp report which I assume puts an A on Kane's sweater. I agree Bickell is not gonna get much unless maybe he is packaged.

Would love to see Richards take another team friendly deal since the Rangers are still paying him big $ but I get it if he would try and get another nice contract.

It will be very interesting to see how the next couple of weeks shake out.

TMoore4075 06-19-2015 08:21 AM

Re: The NHL Thread
 
Bickell is a nice piece to have, just not at that price. Sharp is what a lot of teams want. Cap hit isn't terrible and for only what, 2 more years? Only be 35 when it's over. Won't get what you could get if it wasn't a salary dump (gonna have to be picks/prospects with not much salary back) but still should be a decent return

With such a crap FA class, I expect a lot of movement the next 2 weeks or so. Hope my Wings find a top 4 d-man out there.

Not really. Would prefer a righty.

Really interested to see if the Rangers can pull and tricks out of their hats to improve. Summer is too long. I just want to get back at it.

Yeah. The next 3-4 weeks could be fun for the NHL as a whole with moves and free agent stuff. Then by mid-July it'll die and we'll have 2.5 months of pretty much nothing until the regular season.

@BDGallof:
Per NHL source, CHI currently asking for 1st rd pick, A-level prospect & top 6 forward on entry-level contract for Patrick Sharp

That I can't see happening. 2 of those 3 things? Maybe. If they get it, good for them but I wouldn't be giving that up. That's more than what the Yotes got for Keith Yandle.

have no idea what they are thinking. 1st rounder. Sure. Understandable. Prospect? Absolutely. But it won't be a A-level. top 6 forward on entry-level? Forget about it.

I mean just looking at it from a Detroit point of view. That is a 1 rounder, Mantha/Larkin/Paulkenin and like Nyquist....yeah ok.
