What's even better is that she's a fuckin great hockey player.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

so she's one of those people that puts her pants on after her skates?
my dad used to get pissed at me for that because id always rip the fabric.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol:lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Better than a girl in high heels.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I think she goes out on the ice just like that.

100000000x

Re: The NHL Thread
 

without even looking at the pic, I knew what it was by this comment.
I'd Tivo every game she played in.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

While we're talking about it, I'd be upset with myself if I didn't mention Anna Prugova.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Didn't know Hasek is getting his # retired in Buffalo on Tuesday while the Wings are there. Nice touch by the Ducks to have the Jets there for #8 going up last night and Sabres for having the Wings tomorrow.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Thank you. I would have been upset with you as well.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Page 683 is my favorite page in this thread.

also, Flyers just smoked the Lightning.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

definitely a case where the sports factor ups the hotness level a couple points.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Tonight is the night!!!

Rangers Vs. Icelanders!

Madison Square Garden!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Howie confirmed for slight tear. 2-4 weeks.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

and my FiOS is being moved
Solid timing

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So who gets the nod to replace Howard in the ASG? Fleury? Hank? Dare I say, Holtby??

I say Hank gets it

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I have a seguin winter classic sweater and a home marchand sweater. Obviously seguin's gone and I have a feeling marchy won't be around for the longrun so I told my gf I want a white Bergeron sweater. She got me an XL for Christmas which I was swimming in so I went to Dicks to exchange it for a L. They didn't have one in store so they took the exchange and gave me a giftcard to purchase a white sweater online. I went online and there wasn't an option for a Bergeron L white sweater. it was grayed out like they weren't even taking backorders. I called Dicks and they told me they can't backorder anything and I'd have to customize a white bruins sweater with Bergeron's name and number....wtf there's no difference between taking a backorder on a sweater and ordering a customized...they'd have to make another one for me anyway...w/e..

so yesterday the sweater arrived. factory sealed. the stitched numbers were fraying and there was a rip near the NHL seal. I went back to Dicks and they did the same thing...took the return, reordered me a new Large white Bergeron sweater, and gave me a $50 giftcard for my troubles. Hopefully this one isn't damaged when I get it!

all in all, Dicks sporting goods customer service is decent, but their procedures are all kinds of messed up. not only did I get the points for my gf's initial purchase, but then I got the points on the second and third time I purchased it so Dicks sees this as I spend $510 and they're sending me all kinds of rewards and $ off my next purchase.

#sweaterissues

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Holy cow. That's a hassle.

In the future, just order a blank Bruins sweater, then go to a local hockey shop and have them stitch it for you. Typically a lot easier than dealing with Dicks, and they usually do a great job. I know the hockey shops in my area that actually do the Hawks practice and promotional warm up sweaters, so it makes it easy to know they'll do a good job.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Pastrnak is nasty!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

3-0 after 2. Strong 2nd period for my boys.

3 goal leads have not been kind to us. Far from over.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

pastrnak again! kid is awesome

Re: The NHL Thread
 

+1

um, I mean +2:hump

LOL Ryan Suter

Dirtiest play of the year candidate

Re: The NHL Thread
 

i can't believe there wasn't a penatly on that.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Isles chase Henrik to the bench. Love it.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Will Pastrnasty get the hat trick?

Neither ref could've seen it. That's the only logical explanation.

I expect a suspension

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wild are bad.

Is this the game that gets Mike Yeo fired?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Perron again. 7-2. Yeo is likely gone.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Dominant performance against the hottest team in hockey on their own ice. Great way to end a 7 game road trip with a 5-2 record.

First place!!

Re: The NHL Thread

Rags with no answer physically or anywhere. Thanks again Chiarelli for Boychuk, who was great tonight.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hate to lose a rivalry game. Credit the islanders .

Re: The NHL Thread
 

In honor of his jersey retirement, my favorite Hasek moment:

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Islanders now have 1 less win than the Knicks at MSG this season.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Rinne was injured tonight in the game against Vancouver. Supposedly it's day to day but Pekka being hurt scares the shit out of me. He's definitely the MVP of the team and last year sucked really really bad without him.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That sucks. I feel your pain right now for sure. Preds always seem to churn out goalies like they are nothing so ya gotta have someone waiting in the wings don't you?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Who wants to go to the Oilers/Caps game with me next Tuesday!??!?!?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol
That is pretty funny.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:raises hand:

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Carter Hutton is more than able to play well but it's hard to replace someone like Pekka. I don't think the injury is as serious as some were thinking it may be.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That's the worst injury to have is in goal. Not like a number of guys can replace his production like if a scorer goes out.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I've been largely absent from posting in this thread this season, but I have been lurking. when the Hawks are as good as they are, I see no point in posting hahaha. There's no Bollig or Handzus to hate, although Oduya has been pretty horrible this year....and Teuvo is gonna be my new Morin whenever he isn't playing.

Anyway go Hawks, I'll just come back in June and tell you all how the parade was.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Much needed win for the Kings the other night. Jones goes in net after being out one month and records a shut out. Given it was against the Leafs, but still. Quick has been uncharacteristic as of late; not just losing but letting in a lot of goals. We'll see.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Any Leafs loss is a good loss to me.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Halfway through the year are we seeing our East playoff teams already? TO and FLA are still in it but after that...The rest of the teams would have to have an amazing second half to make up that ground.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

damn....

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Sorry. Looking at this time last year, the only change from now until the end was Washington out and Jackets in. But Jackets were only 2 points out.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'm going to a conference on Wednesday but will be in town by 4:30-ish on Tuesday. Was thinking of stubhubbing some tix. Down to $20 at last check!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Would love to go, but between a baby appointment at 4pm and work at 5am Wednesday, getting up to Verizon Center will prove difficult :lol

Not surprised tix are so cheap though. A Tuesday vs the Oilers is as vanilla as a game could be. Still better than last year, I looked into a Tuesday game vs the Islanders last season and found tix for $11 each

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Dubnyk to the Wild. Yup, that'll fix them.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

i hope he stays with the team

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I hope so, Claude was saying two weeks ago how they lack depth. No reason not to keep him up.

I can't see how they could justify sending him down

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Suter gets two games.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Seems a little light for such a flagrant elbow, but I guess that's where having such a clean reputation really helps

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'll be at the game Tuesday if you want to talk some intelligent hockey at the Greene Turtle before the game :lol:lol:lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I miss those days...so much. You can't get a pair for under $200 anymore in Chicago. It could be a regular season game against Carolina on a Tuesday and you'll see 300 level corners in the last row for $130 each.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

would you rather have low ticket prices or Cups?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:BANG :BANG

vanek still quiet

Re: The NHL Thread
 

The price of success. It does come with it's problems.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol

gotta try something
this season has been a disaster
goaltending clearly an issue
glad fletcher backed yao

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yeah, Stanley Cups > low ticket prices

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Should this make me rethink going entirely? Thoughts from the unintelligent hockey fans in here?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

You can find out what a Gordie Howe hat trick is, so there's that

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Just checked the scores from last night. Jackets can't do anything right. Wings needed a Habs regulation loss or any loss would have been ok but noooo. I do thank the Ducks for the Leafs loss though.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

don't ask me, I still don't know what hybrid icing is.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yeah, his otherwise pristine record helped. I was surprised when it happened.
I had a feeling the Vanek deal would turn out this way. Hopefully he can turn it around.
You called, I answered. Personally, I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to truly get some insight into who teh brohanz is and what makes him tick.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Looks like Rinne is going to miss about 3 games and the All Star game with a sprained knee. This is pretty good news. Looks like they're just being cautious and given the workload he gets on a regular basis, he needs the rest.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That is very good news, awesome. Kinda fortunate that it happened over the All-Star break so he can have that added rest time.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Extremely fortunate. I mean when he left the game the other night there was a long discussion on the ice beforehand. Mazanec just got called up and Hutton (though he's yet to win a game this year) should be good enough to mind the net during the three game stretch.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Ugh, Kings. They are really good and letting in multiple goals in a short period of time this year.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

They are just a bad hockey team.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I was not disappointed at all Vanek didn't sign here with islanders. I doubt we would be where we are right now if we did sign him. We might still sign Halak but no way we trade for both Boychuk and Leddy. Maybe 1 of them.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Good to hear he's ok, though I'm kinda bummed he'll be out against the Caps on Friday. Was looking forward to the test. Also woulda been a good show since both he and Holtby have been so good. It does increase our chances to win I guess.

:thumbsup Islanders got that one right

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yes and no as Snow offered Vanek 50 million and was turned down. With his gambling problems, you would think he would taken more money.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Well duh, but they had the lead in the 3rd and took a lot of stupid penalties in the 3rd I guess too. I mean Wings need to take care of their own business but some help wouldn't be bad.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

should be a good matchup tonight in boston against NYR

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:thumbsup

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Go Rangers I guess.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

No. Go Bruins.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

If the Wings win tonight against the Blues....sure. If not...then no. lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Go Rangers!!!

:lol :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

go rangers. 3v1

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Well now they are saying 3-5 weeks according to this:

http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2...ll-star-break/

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Should be a good game either way. This is one I've been looking forward to. I may try and make it to the game if I can just to pay respects to Trotz. That place is going to go crazy for him at the beginning of the game.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Fuckity fuck fuck.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Go bruins !!!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yeah that will be nice to see. I'm quickly falling in love with BT, faster than I thought I would. I'm most excited to see Filip Forsberg for a full game now that he's really solidified himself as a top guy there in Nashville. I feel like I watched that kid for so long and never got to reap the benefits. I'm so glad to see he's having a bunch of success.

Really sucks about Pekka.

Horrible hit by Krieder.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Pastrnasty to stay put. Hope B's keep him. Didn't understand the trigger for FA.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yeah that was bad

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Louie Louie!

Lol at rangers turning their back to the boards to draw penalties.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Bruins are streaking!!!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

It doesn't as long as he doesn't play 40 games. This is a good move for him.
