Can't wait for tonight. UC twice this week. Not a bad week.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Another great back read haha. Love this thread in the playoffs!

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Blues win 3-1

Some Montreal fans (not on here) already saying how they're going to sweep the Bruins lol. I hope whoever comes out between Det/Bos destroys them. Are there even any Habs fans here? I don't think I've ever noticed one.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

the habs have always been an unlikeable team for me, but i gotta give therrien his props

i might actually like them if Pgay Subban didn't play for them

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Don't think so. Have fans are extremely annoying....we would know if there were any here haha

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Haven't seen one. I do think Bruins/Habs goes 6-7.
He's done a good job with this team, and they have been great down the stretch so I have to give them props. But yeah I don't like them. Arrogant fans doesn't help.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

since we're on the habs right now, what are everyone's thoughts on the Canadiens' sweaters? classic, just ok, or ugly?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

i think they're awesome but my buddy was saying how he hates them

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I don't even watch hockey and I think this is my new favorite thread.

I hate them, but maybe I'm bias lol. But seriously, their home jerseys with the blue stripe that goes under the number just looks weird to me.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

absolutely classic. however, the jerseys are about the only thing i like about that franchise. would love to see a game there though.

dooes your friend even hockey?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

i mean i'm totally biased against the flyers, but philly's black sweaters might be my favorite of all time

those orange crush atrocities they wear now are just awful though

:lol i mean to each their own, montreal's road whites are awesome

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

i think my favorite sweaters in the NHL are the hawks and bruins.

favorite alternates are the pens powder blues and the jackets cannons, wish they'd wear those in a playoff game.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

yea the hawks run away with it...but i actually like the black ones more than the red....but all 3 are perfect, really

the bruins are alright i guess

i'd have to say my 2nd favorite are the minnesota wild home sweaters

forest green and khaki is so tight

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Habs have the best shot of any team to beat the Bruins in the East and the melts that would occur if they did would be classic.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Habs sweaters are probably my least favorite of the Original Six.

I really dig (no order):
Toronto
Chicago
Boston
Minny's new green ones
Dallas's new green ones (yes, I do like the color)
Classic Buffalo
Avs 3rd

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Montreal wears a great sweater, either the red or the white. I fucking hate the team though. As has been said, the arrogant fans breed a lot of that.

Top 5 NHL sweaters:

Chicago Blackhawks road
Boston Bruins home
Montreal Canadiens road
Colorado Avalanche road
San Jose Sharks home

Honorables to the St Louis Blues, Philadelphia Flyers and the Tampa Bay Lightning (yes really, that new lighter blue with the simplified logo is sexy)

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I'm sorry to you and hailtopitt, but I personally think both 3rds for the Pens and Avs are amongst the leagues worst

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

You are dead to me.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Great call. I like TB's home sweaters a lot as well. :thumbsup

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

the pens powder blues are ugly as shit

i loved the navy blues they wore against the caps though

http://www.officialnhlhockey.com/ima...nguins_095.jpg

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I'll jump in the sweater convo...my favorites in no specific order

Oilers home
Blackhawks road
Rangers home
Canadiens road
Lightning home
Flames home

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Second time in a week someone in here has said that to me :(

:thumbsup best uniforms the Pens ever wore (except the hockey playing Penguin, he was awesome/haunted my dreams in the early 90s)

I'm just happy the bruins are in the playoffs. Anything else is a bonus.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

yea the skating penguin with the pittsburgh gold were the best...not the dumb vegas gold they have now

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Sometimes you try harder than Muskie and gocubs and it's just sad

What are you talking about?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I love all the original 6 sweaters. They don't need to change anything and most of them don't feel the need to. Maybe have a third they wear every now and then but that's it. Every other franchise seems to switch up their look every few years. Just keep it simple.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

So in hockey news, Zetterberg practicing hard today from what the beat writers are saying. Now listed as day to day. Here's hoping for Thursday. If not, I hope they can win to make it 2-2 and he's back this weekend.

Flyers fans being satisfied with playoffs is cool. Boston fans being satisfied is trolling. Got it.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

If the Flyers made the SC finals last year and had the best goalie in the league I would not be satisfied with being in the playoffs.

They're awesome. Classics. Your buddy is an idiot.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

So you love me but won't say it out loud to your friends?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Pens powder blue are awful.

don't care what you guys think i love the pens powder blues.

so does the guy i saw wearing one into the game the other night.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Datsyuk and his wife have a baby girl. Apparently she deeked right around the doctor on the way out.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

better line would have been that Rask was in the delivery room and she popped out and slid right through his legs.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

the first ones...but i like the second ones too, tan, black and red works well

i liked 'em at first just cause they were different, but i can't stand them now, glad they're gone

:lol

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

So much focus on Giroux not showing up, but I personally think in Game 2 and 3 he has played fairly well. He isn't making any huge mistakes, he is just being smothered by the Rangers. If they are going to focus so hard on G the rest of the Flyers need to show up and take advantage of that

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

i bet Giroux is having a better series than crosby....this might be the worst i've ever seen sid play

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Ya what's up with that? I noticed I didn't notice him much the other night when the Pens made that come back. I know he's had a handful of assists but he hasn't looked himself

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

turning the puck over
passing up scoring opportunities
losing puck battles
just a general passiveness

that can't last...it just can't

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Hopefully, for the sake of Mrs. Datsyuk, the baby didn't inherit her father's head size.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Exactly I've noticed all of that. I would also assume he'll snap out of it. That's been such a weird series all the way around though nothing would really surprise me

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I love the early 90's Pens jerseys.

Love the Oilers threads as well.

My favorite is probably the Blackhawks though.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

pens can win without sid playing well
flyers can not

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

yea, he now has a 7 game goalless drought in the playoffs dating back to the boston series

to compare, mario lemiuex's longest playoff drought was 6 games, which happened twice...and the pens didn't do so well when that happened

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

that's because the flyers don't have sid

edit: j/k i know what you meant

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

:rolleyes

:popcorn

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

but actually, they can't

they can beat columbus without sid, and MAYBE the NYR but no one else

they just aren't a great team this year, and when sid doesn't show up, they're just ok

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

that was my convoluted point. it really only applied to round 1.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I would agree with this as well

Not gonna get by the Bruins/Red Wings and maybe not even Flyers/Rangers with Sid playing this way, especially when the inevitable Fleury melt happens

Not that I'm complaining, I obviously can't stand Crosby

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

:thumbsup

rangers are a good matchup for the pens, so i'd give them nod there, but it's still not a given

wings, habs, bruins, flyers are all AWFUL matchups for the pens, and frankly all those teams are playing better right now

and :lol @ not being able to stand crosby, you know ovie is on your team, right?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

It's the shape more than the overall size. Almost like an egg where it's wide at one end and narrow at the other.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I do. I can't really stand him either

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I was a huge Crosby apologist back in the day, and I still kinda like him, but 19! 19! 19! 19! 19! has since stolen my heart dating back to their first Cup run.

The Gabe has really come up this season though, but he's not quite on the Crosby/19! level. MacKinnon will be there.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

:lol Totally. Either way, it's not going to be pretty.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

by 19 i assume you're referencing beau bennet

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Ryan Whitney back in the day.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

No, not 19. I'm talking about 19! 19! 19! 19! 19!, or just 19! for short.

Two COMPLETELY different people.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Sounds like if the doctor ok's it, Hank could be back tomorrow. What a huge lift that would be.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Series over for Boston if he does.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

:lol would be awesome

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Puck you.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Where did this whole 19! thing come from? Why do we call him that?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

because two Ovechkin's + Gary Galley = 19! 19! 19! 19! 19!

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

because 19!

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I don't remember, but that's how it goes with a lot of things in this thread :lol

I don't remember where OMGCG came from, or our obsession with all things Rico Fata. But they have become eternal parts of the Ants NHL thread.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

:lol why I love this thread

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I imagine it's kinda confusing for new initiates. Glad you asked.

We've really toned down the OMGCG talk lately. It was pretty out of control for a while there. :lol

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I remember the OMGCG days. Didn't come in here much then. Was butthurt everyone gave the Caps such a hard time. DGAF now plus that other Caps fan isn't really here anymore

I vaguely recall the Rico Fata stuff but I was an actual noob then

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

i remember the real rico fata all too well, i had no need for e-rico

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

All you need to remember is that it's widely agreed upon that the Fata-OMGCG-Daigle line (otherwise known as FOD) would be the greatest hockey line in the history of the sport.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

OMGCG is a top 250 player

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

All hail FOD!

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

:lol yeah FOD. I remember that too

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

:lol :lol :lol

top 250 player. Who was that?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Remember how good Daigle was supposed to be?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

:lol I was just trying to remember that... Brohan? Muskie?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

He just never got the chance to play with his true, destined linemates.

Imagine Kariya with Yashin back in the day. Hell or Pronger on the blueline. I would like to thank them for not taking Pronger as that made Shanny go to Hartford, hate it, and be traded to Detroit.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Where's Sarah? Can we get a Fata or some other hockey type emoji? I think we deserve one.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I can't recall who it was exactly (may have even been me) but i do recall all the talk about omgcg, as well as taking fata and daigle over him :lol

It's been awhile, probably 2010-11 ish.

From the 10/11 thread. Bored while waiting for oil change. Searches more annoying on phone

You were right and that's where I started. Was my best guess as well

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I THINK it came from this game:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7vHJBx1zOs

I was freaking out every time he scored, and was just posting 19! 19! 19! 19! 19! every single time. I'm almost positive it was that game.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

This was my guess as well.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

well done! that is a gold find. bless you, sir!

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

i'm looking now. found some stuff.

me saying Giroux not top 50 (as well as some others saying theres atleast 50 better: http://new1.antsmarching.org/forum/s...x#post11909123

the earliest omgcg i found thus far:

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

19! 19! 19! 19! 19! 19! 19! is going to be more difficult/impossible to find. Search doesn't pull up just numbers and characters.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

those were the days. mdrums brought some real lolz. I think him, brohan, and gocubs are basically the same person

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Thanks douche. I just spent the last few minutes watching a bunch of suggestions too.
