Hoping the flyers or panthers get the 8th seed honestly. Bruins would be embarrassed against anyone they play and if they get in they may avoid the shake up the front office needs.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

points, not games

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Is it customary to wear Jean top and jeans when you attend a game at Levi's Stadium?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

A win today, two very winnable games after that...there's legit hope here.

Especially when Florida has a game against the Pens and then a home-and-home against the Blackhawks as their next 3 games.

Big week for the Flyers.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol :lol

(I'm sure I'll regret this post in about two hours)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Zac Rinaldo might be my least favorite player in the NHL today. Guy is scum.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

He isn't Steve Downie but pretty close.

And let's go Flyers!!

"Rinaldo is one of 11 forwards in NHL history to have played over 200 games and produce 20 points or less. He is the only one still in NHL."

Rinaldo on a 3 on 2 -

I hate that guy.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Not a great first period from the Caps. Probably the worst they've looked since the last Flyers game

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Rinaldo is frustrating to watch.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wow Wings will have 5 games in hand on the Lightning after tonight. Does Tampa not play the last week and a half of the season?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Shocker, Zac Rinaldo going to the box again.

Seeing Chimera knock him out like that was awesome though.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Was just coming to post about Chimera knocking out Rinaldo. Good stuff

Re: The NHL Thread
 

This is how I feel about the Rangers

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Rinaldo trying to elbow Mike Green in the fucking head. That guy really sucks.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

What a flying elbow. I couldn't tolerate that shit in my organization/team. Give him the hell off the team. He obviously learned nothing while sitting.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

<3 Holtby <3

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I use to defend him but his schtick is getting old. He lacks all sense of discipline. If he had any he would be a much more effective fourth liner

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So I just saw the Snapstories from the Stadium Series game between the Sharks and the Kings....an NHL stadium game is definitely now on my bucket list. That looks fucking awesome.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

202 games played, 20 points.

He wouldn't be an effective 4th liner in the AHL.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Not sure if any of you guys caught that lift check, but yeah, Ovie sure doesn't play defense

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Crazy. Flyers are VERY much in this thing.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Thanks Flyers.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Flyers lose to Columbus and Buffalo and then follow it up by beating Nashville and the Caps on back to back days :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Fuck. Huge blown chance. Really good game. Frustrating watching the Caps piss away PP chances all afternoon. The first 3 were dreadful. Really tough loss today.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

He did play some nice d and how he didn't bury that one chance on the power play is beyond me. Holtby played so well for you guys.

It will be fun to see if the Flyers make the playoffs and what the naysayers will have to say about it

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yeah, 9 times out of 10 Ovie buries that. Holtby's breakout season is truly in full swing. The guy has been stellar.

Flyers seem to have had the Caps number this year. Was a very good game though, well played by both clubs. Flyers very well could squeak in the playoffs, we'll see. They need Boston to continue to be cold obviously, but it could very well happen (and as I prepare to hit "post" the Bruins score)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Brad Marchand is such a little cunt.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I really need to learn to stay away from Capitals fan pages on Facebook after they lose. Or really after they win too. The hockey ignorance that is constantly displayed by the typical Caps fan is really disappointing, and I wear myself out arguing with these people

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Tuuka Rask with a solid melt

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Bruins doing everything in their power to keep the Hawks in this one.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

thank you captain serious

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Lol Bruins. Way to go Marchand and Rask getting them right back into the game.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I really hate the Bruins.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Has Carcillo ever not gotten his ass kicked? I feel like he gets his teeth knocked in every time I see him fight.

Lol Blackhawks

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Goal was about as soft as the one last game :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Bergeron and marchand are playing great. Lucic needs to play like this every game

Hawks being scumbags.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Carcillo needs cut like yesterday.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Should be a 5 on 3. Hawks melting on the ice and punching

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Dougie!!!!!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hope Boston gets another one here.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Lol this is getting ugly.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol :lol :lol this is awesome.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Good god. Hawks in full melt mode. I don't watch the Hawks much, but they look dismal today

Haha shaw. What a moron.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Shaw gets himself fucked up :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Shaw classy huh lockman?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Rinaldo whining about Chimera punching him

http://www.csnwashington.com/hockey-...flyers-unhappy

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Congrats to the Bruins on their regular season victory lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That was ugly, and also not surprising. It wasn't all on Crawford by any means, but I think it's time to throw Raanta in net.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

It was a pretty scummy thing to do though.

Chimera should have hit him harder though, IMO.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Eh, medium level scummy at most. I mean Rinaldo had just attempted to decapitate Mike Green with his elbow. And like you said, would've been better if he hit him harder.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Rinaldo is the worst. Can't believe Vinny was scratched again today for him. It's utter nonsense that guys like him and Carcillo have a place in the league.

Wouldn't be too worried as a hawks fan. Crawford clearly should carry them through the playoffs.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Agree...he has before.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol What? Why are you calling me out?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Probably because your hate of Marchand?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Thanks Matty (well the Avs) for that vicory in regulation. Wings now have FIVE games in hand and are only 4 points back. This week could be huge for them. Well, should be anyways. Starting off the 6 games road trip 2-0 ain't bad, even if the game against Dallas was UGLY. Worried about Hank though.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So guess what guys? The Rangers won. Surprised? Me neither.

At least the Isles lost. Will the Rangers ever lose a game again? Me thinks they will not

Re: The NHL Thread
 

talbot gives up way too many goals.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

He does give up more than Hank (duh), but it hasn't seemed to really slow them down much. Feels like the Rangers lose like once every three weeks

Re: The NHL Thread
 

hoping this goal scoring streak doesnt crash and burn.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

you had some harsh words for marchand. could say the same thing about shaw

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Here's a text I sent my buddy not too long ago, so this should tell you how I feel about Shaw:

http://i.imgur.com/GYxUOxT.png

And Marchand is a huge douche. Don't take it so personally, unless he's your brother or something, in which case, tell him that he's a douche for me.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:thumbsup they are both players you'd hate if they weren't on your team. subban the same way.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Rangers are on fire. Have a couple of more winnable games before the schedule gets very hard! Stay strong and winning the division is a very realistic possibility!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hope they keep that trend!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

wild into the top 8 in the west!

:multi

#gottastaythere

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Jason Chimera is one of my favorite working-class players in the league. Would totally pick him up if I was building a team from scratch.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol This is kinda how I felt about Lapperiere, one of my favorite all-time players. Guy fought all the time, and always seemed to lose. Probably why his nose looked the way it did. I guess it didn't help that he was usually taking on guys bigger than him. :lol

What I loved about him, though, was he was always fighting for a purpose, and that purpose was usually sticking up for his teammates. An amazing hockey personality.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

He's getting a little old now, but I totally agree. I love having him on the team

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Love Lappy. One of the sweetest guys to ever talk to. Guy is a true team player and I really wished we got him that Cup in 2010. So glad he's on the Flyers bench. He's a very smart coach.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Stars gave up 7 against the Wings and 6 (in the third) to the Wild. Good job boys.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Really, cause that PK this year, bro...

Re: The NHL Thread
 

http://www.theplayerstribune.com/mir...hockey-russia/

An interesting take from one of the most creative players ever.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

how different is the red army doc from the 30 for 30 of miracles and men? I know they're different, but the guy who probably spent the last couple years doing red army has to be a little pissed that ESPN put our 30 for 30 a month before his comes out

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Off days? That’s funny. No off days.

read that in a super thick russian accent. :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I haven't seen Red Army but I read somewhere that the players were much more candid than they were in Of Miracles and Men

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:thumbsup

I really enjoyed the 30 for 30. I like how it was focused primarily on fetisov. great story post miracle

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Oh I thought it was about his daughter.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I really enjoyed it as well, and I expect Red Army will be even better

Re: The NHL Thread
 

This was a really interesting read. Hearing him talk about Datsyuk and the way the game is played in the NHL today, really good read. He's also kind of right. The NHL is very much a north/south game right now, which is not at all how the Soviets played back in their day.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

that really didn't bother me. it was his first time back in lake placid since the Olympics. I'm sure he didn't want to do it alone

:thumbsup definitely checking it out

After reading this article is explains Trotz 'yolo' mindset when determining the Caps top line. Really puts into perspective how good Ovi and Backstrom are together

No I meant I was pretty much looking at her the whole time. Didn't realize Papa Bear was even talking... ;)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Flipped on Ducks/Wings and the wings just totally melted. Had 3 scored on them in less than four minutes.

Edit: Wings just tied it back up as I hit send. lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Woke up in the middle of the night (of course I wasn't staying up for the game) and just saw the final and thought "hey a point on the road to start the 6 game trip 2-0-1" not bad. Then this morning, saw how it happened. Sucks they gave up 3 quick ones, but glad they were able to come back and tie it. Three points back of Tampa with 4 games in hand still, I'm ok with that. Tonight will be tough with one of the hottest teams in the league. Struggling a bit defenively the last few games. If they want to make any noise in the playoffs they might need to do something. Granted still no Quincey last night and no Hank but still, they were dominating most of that game.

Finally, how hot is Pavel right now? Damn.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Just saw Krejci out 4-6 weeks. That could be the rest of the year.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So just saw this on a Caps fan page discussing possible trade targets:

"Trading Alzner for Jordan Eberle would be a great way to improve our defense. Could you imagine seeing Eberle out there next to Green or Carlson?! I'm in!"

The commenter was 100% serious. Sometimes with these people, I'd like to beat them in the head with sticks and tell them to go back to watching the Redskins.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

The maple leafs twitter account is great. Couple of days ago someone tweeted at them and said whoever runs their twitter is hilarious. The Leafs posted a picture of a stuffed Kermit the Frog at a keyboard. I replied to that saying, "Well that explains so much about their franchise." They tweeted a .gif of Kermit the Frog back at me shaking his head. :lol :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

There are stupid fans in every group. That's a good one though.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

CBJ reportedly shopping Wiz after he was a healthy scratch Sunday night.

Only rumor I've seen is to the Wings for Pulkkinen and a draft pick.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hell to the no. Leading scorer of the AHL and a draft pick for an overpriced D man? I'm gonna guess that isn't happening.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol it's funny because all of the jackets fans posting about that rumor are saying they should get more back.

i assume CBJ would retain salary.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Oh yeah. Kronwall makes more than him. I can't imagine anyone wanting to pay him $5.5 per for another 2 years?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

no he's not nearly worth that but he still is a good puck posession d-man and good offensive threat.

as long as he's paired with a stay at home guy he will benefit a team.
CBJ just has a lot of young defenseman right now that i think they want to get more playing time now that it looks like this season is officially lost.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'd take him if CBJ ate part of the salary, but NOT if that was the asking price. Pulkkinen's shot has been compared to Brett Hull's and as said the leading scorer in the AHL. If Jackets are asking that, they don't really want to move him. lol Although Wiz has a no-trade doesn't he? He made it sorta clear he didn't want to come here back in 2011 so not sure he'd want to waive it to come here.
