This is me right now

:grimey

I am just trying to please you, master!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

We're glad to have you on board bud

Re: The NHL Thread
 

but don't get me wrong I'm enjoying the shit out of the brewing space_raven JRS rivalry.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

go away...seriously just go away

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I know you'll do the same for CBJ next year. ;)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I shit on Ovechkin a lot, because I hate him, but he has improved his game a lot. Also, I keep forgetting Trotz is their head coach, that is one positive they have for them.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:thumbsup

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Not sure it is a rivalry....he just popped out of nowhere and is starting fights with everyone

Re: The NHL Thread
 

#jacketsin5, always

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol:lol:lol what's with you dudes? You're like little girls.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I think Trotz is the reason for Ovie playing like he is. He's been killing it in these playoffs though. I haven't seen him play like he is in the defensive zone very often.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

If CBJ puts this face on their cannons, I will declare them my Kittens teams

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So much of the difference is Trotz I think. Obviously the quality of the defenders have improved, but the way the whole team plays defense is so much improved. Plus they've got some goaltending now. It's a breath of fresh air.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Starting with emoticons, you type like a 4-year old monkey.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Youre obviously intitled to your opinion. To me their passing does not look crisp at all.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

space raven is really matthew barnaby.

or dustin brown.

that would really be funny.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I agree with you both. Hope Trotz can continue to find success, but not enough to win the Cup.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That would be fantastic.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

guys, I think my 360 is dead. :(

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That makes a lot of sense, good one. :rolleyes

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Barbs, how do you rate Ovechkins backcheck on their first goal tonight. Seemed like he needed an extra stride or two to me...

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'm neither.

Hysterical.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Would agree. Definitely looks like he lets up at the last second and Brassard (who was already ahead of him) is basically free to make a play on the puck. That was like an 85% back check from Ovie

Re: The NHL Thread
 

It would be so funny if space raven was Dustin Brown

Re: The NHL Thread
 

What if Space Raven was actually a Raven from Space?!?!?!??

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Sweet win for Caps. Never would I have thought the Caps would be blocking so many shots. I think the number got to 30 tonight.

Also Niskanen didn't get a star last game but I think he was more of a factor in the Game 3 win than Holbty. Dude has been a beast

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Didn't get to watch either game, but looks like it was a damn fine night of hockey. Glad my two teams won. Not sure what I'll do if the Caps and Bolts end up in the Conference Finals against each other.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Both him and Alzner. Alzner is an unbelievable player and no one knows about him.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Besides the obvious, ^ IMO, is why the Caps won tonight. Soooooo many blocked shots.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

You sound like a 6-year old girl. He was soooooo looking at Becky, when he is liek soooo with Rachel.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Should've ran that one by me first, before you posted. You spelled LIKE wrong, genius.

Your wit and cleverness is astounding.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

The internet is a serious place apparently.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

If you do not get why I spelled like incorrectly, you are the idiot.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

If JRS is Sean Avery then Space_Raven is Marty Brodeur.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

It's not about me "getting why" you did it. I got it. It's the fact you did because you think you're so funny and clever. But in reality, you just look dumb.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I thought it was pretty funny.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I don't understand how I can look dumb. I am wearing a onesie for Christ's sake!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Pics of Becky and Rachel please

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Why do you want pics of 6-year olds?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'll take that. Brodeur is 1st ballot HOF'er. Avery is a sexually confused, wanna be model, and is probably on the waiting list to get into some drug rehab in Des Moines as we speak.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Shut up, Fatso.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

You said he's sounded liek a six year old. I pictured them older I guess.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Lame. Just lame. You're really trying, aren't you?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Not what I was going for.

Totally what I was going for.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Fair enough.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

One of us understands the Internet is not serious and one of us has a meter stick shoved up our ass that forces us to have to sit in perfect posture and keep things serious, always.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I think mine is more accurate though.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

If only you knew.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

= really trying.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yes, me getting, and continue, the joke is really trying. Next time I will just dive into the serious stuff like you.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

This is not trying.


This is trying. Just in case anyone was wondering.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol :lol :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

This whole thing is about perception. You perceive me to be serious, I can assure you I'm not. And I perceive you to be stupid, which hopefully, IRL you're not like this. You continue to take what I post as serious and I continue to think what you post is stupid. Let's just call a spade a spade. I'm serious, you're dumb. End of discussion. That's the fake dynamic here.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Today is amazing. Thank you.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I haven't been around in a while but it's safe to say I'm now longer the most hated ITT

You will always be the nostalgic throw back, but Bron has been stealing some of your thunder over the years. Also, Raven from Space is off to a promising start.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

My perception is JRS wins that award 10/10 times.

These week's hated power rankings

Love JRS. Top goon every year.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

How did Dustin get involved?! That's an insult to Brown. :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:hug

I'm the player everyone hates, until they are on your team

Re: The NHL Thread
 

You need to get him to join for one day on the most conspicuous of user names so that no one actually buys it

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I vote: Raven_Space

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol :lol :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wings almost beat this team that's up 3-0 on Montreal. This will make me wonder for a long time. Sigh...

Congrats to the Caps for not being...well the Caps. Still not over yet. Ask the Pens last year and heck, the Rangers in 2009...against the Caps.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol @ number 5. I was just thinking about how much more enjoyable this thread has been without the Bruins in the playoffs

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Our regular Bruins fans are ok but when the playoffs start and they go a little further, all of a sudden we get more. i guess that goes for all teams in here though.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Great stuff last night :lol

JRS is a made man, and a damn funny dude. Elite level goon. Great poster.

:lol :lol :lol

Exactly. They've still got lots of time to be the Caps.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:thumbsup

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol:lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

This Caps team is different. They've got SWAGGER. And more Russians.

No way they lose this series. I like their chances against the Lightning in the ECFs, too (who would have guessed they'd be up 3-0 on the Habs???)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yikes dude. Why would you say anything like this.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Caps could totally blow this.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

sorry... the part about the Russians was kind of insensitive, I agree.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol :lol

They could

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Possible but not probable. Unfortunately.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Caps have spectacular meltdowns every spring. WOnt believe things have changed until it happens

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:thumbsup thank you

Re: The NHL Thread
 

What an incredible play by Victor Hedman on the GWG last night. Great patience. Impeccable pass. And then of course the finish from Johnson. But a really outstanding play by Hedman.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Zero chance the Rangers come back from 3-1 two years in a row. Caps are moving on. I'm already breaking out the baseball cap and planning trips with the money I was going to spend on playoff tickets once finals were over haha

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wow. So much backreading. This thread has been fun. Now for a long, catch-up post!

If it gets to a game 7, we're in trouble for sure. I fully expect the Rangers to come out on all cylinders in Game 5 at MSG though, so I kind of expect to lose that one. If we're gonna win this series, I think we have to do it on home ice in Game 6. Hope the boys prove me wrong though.

I love #Lumbus. Unless they're playing the Caps. Plus, their twitter back-and-forths with the Kings are so fun.

And grows the second-best beard on the team, behind Holtby.

Or the Caps in 2010 as the Presidents' Trophy winners against the Habs and Halak.

And an Austrian-born, Swedish Jew with a Russian name who announced himself to the world last night. Love the Burracuda. Been wearing a #65 jersey since the Winter Classic. And he didn't even play in the Winter Classic.

Me either.

LALALALA I can't hear you! No jinxing this!

SirBobalew: doing Ants NHL Thread newb the right way :thumbsup

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hah, thanks. NHL thread newb, but ants vet. Don't know why I stayed out of the sports forum for so long.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

New rule: if you coach your team to a presidents trophy win you and the GM immediately get fired and rebuilding the team starts.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

that's fine by me, cause the Rangers suck.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

heh - might have saved Buffalo some trouble eight years ago.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hey Guys,

I'm ISO an old Canadian friend of mine. Goes by the name Rick Nash; He was last seen scoring goals in March. If anyone has any information on his whereabouts, please PM me.

If the Rangers suck...what does that say about the Flyers??

Nash is not the problem. The Rangers system is the problem. Put Nash on basically any other team and he would score a lot in the playoffs. This Nash blaming is Gaborik all over again. Gabby had 14 goals last year in the playoffs....

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Have just been in Calgary for work (hence my silence here the past couple days), and it's been a blast to be here and a part of the atmosphere. Hung out with some friends at a downtown bar and watched the game Tuesday night and then experienced the post-game Red Mile antics.

It was both awesome and refreshing to see how much this city loves the Flames. Everyone I talked to has the attitude of win or lose, they're just proud. It was impossible to not get caught up in the hype just being here. Bob Hartley is the Jesus of Calgary right now. Everyone absolutely loves him.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

The sad (and encouraging) thing is Nash is working his ass off. Watching the game last night, he continued to be a strong presence defensively. He's working hard, but you can tell his confidence is low and he's squeezing that stick a little too tightly when he enters the offensive zone.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

With the Caps history, might be close to probable. Not trying to be a dick but... Blowing 3-1 leads and 2-0 leads is what they do. I bet they have done it more than any other team.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

sounds like a new GEICO commercial in the making.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'd welcome another blowing of a series lead in 2015 :thumbsup

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I remember back in the '90's, the Caps were up on the Pens 3-1 on three separate occasions. The Caps lost two of those three. :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

And they're playing the Rangers now. The Rangers haven't come back from down 3-1 in a conference semifinal since all the way back in last year.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

To be frank, I don't think he's the problem at all. As fonz said, he's doing all the little things right. Just feel bad the guy can't get the light to go off.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Nice, good times. Admit it though, you were really there to see us elect a bunch of socialists after 44 years of the same conservatives in power...
It pains me a bit living in the other city, but I really enjoy watching the flames right now.
