Keith could not look any worse the past couple nights.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Bruins seem to be doing alright now.

God damnit Carcillo.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'm in awe of this

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Keith on ice for 7 goals and in the box for the 8th.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

holy crap, i can't remember the last time the oilers have scored this many.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The team just is not good defensively if they aren't 100% healthy. And Keith decides to have his 2 worst games of the season. Thought he turned a corner? Christ. And now the goalies are playing bad, too.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

5 assists for nugent hopkins. Holy shit.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:lol Blackhawks

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

denied 10 by a fast whistle! ha

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

lollerhawks

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That was painful.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

It should also be noted that Duncan Keith may get suspended for his hit on Taylor Hall in the 1st.

So if Seabrook isn't back, the defense is going to look real good.

Seriously, what happened to Keith this weekend? Leddy seems to have definitely flattened out and Hjalmarsson is having the same dreadful 1st half that he had last year. This team is just lazy. They can't be bothered to play hard every night because they think it will just come easily.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Holy fuck, what the hell happened tonight

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

wow both the caps and hawks got their shit pushed in tonight

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Not to take away from the play of the Oilers, who continue to look FANTASTIC in all three zones (and with some significant D injuries), but the Blackhawks just looked downright terrible. There is simply nothing more to analyze. I'm willing to put some money down on their being some locker room issues going on with this team; the past handful of games or so - and at sporadic points in this still young season - they have seemed either distracted or disinterested.

Quenneville is a hell of a coach, and I'm interested to see what kind of "wake up call" measures he takes. Too bad that many of them may take place behind closed doors and we never get to see them, because I love this stuff (seeing how teams deal with adversity).

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

This team just seems to have a hard time keeping themselves motivated. That and the fact that defensively they have a horrible time getting the puck moved out of the zone efficiently at times. And when you have 2 goaltenders who each play poorly in a game, that's trouble. Crawford hasn't been great lately so that's not going to help things, either.

Obviously I'm not too surprised that this happened because they had a 3 game losing streak a couple weeks back. But they bounced right out of that skid and won four in a row before these past two games. The thing that concerns me most is Duncan Keith's incredibly poor play these past two games after he had been dominating for much of the season.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Crosby comes back tomorrow night!

so happy i am off tomorrow night

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Wow, will absolutely have to tune in to that. The wait is finally over.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Notice to the league: Beware of the Penguins

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Notice to Crosby: Keep your head up!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

8 in a row for the bruins. Looking very good since that shitty start.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Had to drop myself in fantasy hockey today. Welcome back Sidney Crosby.

-biznasty

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

How about Kessel leading the NHL in Goal and Points. He potted another 2 in a 3-2 loss against Carolina this evening.

The guy is on fire. Although I"m hesitant to say he's thrown off the inconsistent label as of yet. He has been one of the best players in the NHL thus far this season.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

He only has a 1 point lead on OMGCG that is not safe

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Holy crap two wins in a row and played well doing it. Datsyuk and Zetterberg also get on the score sheet.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Flyers WC jersey finally announced. Saw on FB first.

Flyers site has them in the first news slot. (If you click on the article the pictures aren't there yet. That's why I'm just linking to main site...)

http://flyers.nhl.com/index.html

First glance? I like em!

And here's the FB link:

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'm liking 'em, Kev. Lovin' the black letters and shoulders, and the stripes on the sleeves are also cool.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

With how well the Pens have played this year, it's crazy to think what adding Crosby to the mix could do.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I am glad he is back. He is a hell of a talent and adds a lot to the league. That being said I hope he sucks a big one tonight (even if he is on my fantasy team).

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Michalek is back tonight as well, making it only the third game that this team is completely healthy since the '10 playoffs.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I heard a stat that it's been x number of games since Malkin, Staal, and Crosby have all been in the lineup together, but I can't remember the number...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Well that sucks for the Sabres:

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=380979

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I think it was something ridiculously low like 3 games since the Cup victory

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

since the end of the '10 playoffs (where staal got his foot slashed open) Crosby Malkin and Staal have only played two games, the winter classic and the game right after that against tampa.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

O/U number of games until Crosby complains about a check he received?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pronger and Coburn are out tonight for the Flyers. So is Jagr.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Saw that too. That's just fucking insane.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

those flyers winter classics are nice. i like them better than what the pens did last year.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

He just doesn't have the intangibles that Toews has.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Both are fringe players in this league.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

This is correct.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

They couldnt hold a candle to omcg

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Crosby/Toews are like baby puppies to OMGCG.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

God, I hate Crosby. God, I'm glad he's back.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

what the hell - i live in canada and can't find the pens game anywhere on tv but i do get monday night football

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pierre. he is so damn annoying

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

theres the sid we've missed!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That's just straight out of a movie

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

all he needs now is an assist and a complaint to the reff for the Sydney Crosby Hat Trick!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

psht. they should've showed the boston mtl game.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I get it's his first game back, but this dick sucking by Versus is gonna get real old, real fast.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I really hope there are videos of the ovation Crosby got when he first took the ice. Place was LOUD.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

best player in the world.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

well yeah, but pretty much Pierre alone is bothering me.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

pierre does it every game, he is the worst.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

can't wait to see Crosby and the Pens against a real team. Islanders are a joke.

I think the reason I hate the Penguins so much is because if I didn't like the Hawks, Pens would probably be my #1 team. Them or the Rangers

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

2 points


2 points in the period. Crosby on pace for 372 points.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

still though:

Marian Hossa > the World

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I don't care how much Pierre sucks his dick (which I don't have to hear in Pittsburgh because it's on Root sports), it's damn good to have Crosby back.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

after seeing that goal, i had to change my underwear.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Eh

I think I would feel differently if those Quaker sweaters never leaked.

That Quakers jersey would have been sweet :(

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That's 3 points! Holy Hell. I know the Isles stink this year, but my Jeebus in heaven! Crosby, Malkin and Neal on the PP. Just disgusting.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Crosby is coming for Kessel.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

starting to get ugly. so much skill

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Awful. He was just starting to get rolling too...

Those Philly WC jerseys look awesome.

Glad to have Crosby back. He brings so much to the NHL.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

let's all relax here, it's the Islanders

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I am incredibly happy for Crosby (until he scores two in his first game against Philadelphia :lol )

Also, the Flyers defense looks really terrible tonight without Pronger and Coburn.

Also, Matt Read has a goal in his last five games (6 total). He's a fucking stud.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I liked it better when Crosby wasn't scoring at a ridiculous rate.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

crosbys backhand is godly.

brb got to change my pants again

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

This has turned into Pierre's wet dream.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

9 in a row for the bruins.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

No big deal.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Crosby has the best back hand since Ike Turner...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Root sports, the local Pittsburgh television outlet, completely shit the bed with the coverage of Crosby's return last night. During the pre-game PA announcement, when the players were taking the ice, instead of just shutting the fuck up and letting the home audience hear the crowd roar, they just talked over the entire thing: "yes, that's Crosby taking the ice [thanks, asshole-didn't realize this was the broadcast for blind people]. He has to feel good about this. Penguins fans are really letting him hear it[oh, it's also the broadcast for deaf people, great]."

Then, they cut to "a special treat for the fans," which was Bylsma's pre-game speech. I'm all for hearing the "inside" parts of the game, but they stayed on Bylsma for 5 solid minutes, during which he said literally not one thing that someone who doesn't play for the Penguins would understand. The best part was when they stayed on this pre-game speech so long that they missed the drop of the puck, and every bit of the fans' screaming during the lead-up to the opening faceoff. Just a cold cut to the game 5 seconds in.

Root had an opportunity to really hit a home run with their local coverage, but my God they absolutely butchered it.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

First think I thought of was that Big Gay Al South Park episode with the football game. " I've haven't seen an Englishman take a blow like that since Hugh Grant."

edit: ps the Isles really suck.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Isles are terrible. Pens looked unstoppable against a bad team. No surprise there. Crosby is ridiculous. Hate him.... (jealousC)

Flyers looked really bad on defense w/o their top 2 (or 1 and 3). It happens. Not worried.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Fixed for accuracy.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Flyers are choking rather early this year.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

My wife cracked up laughing at me when she saw how excited I got after he scored that goal. First off, scoring on a backhand from any distance greater than a meter is itself quite a feat... to do it from the far right boards from that angle?! Unbelievable the skill he has.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pens may have Crosby. But Caps have the rally balloon.

Apparently the season has ended, and the Penguins have already won the Stanley Cup. Congratulations.

Penguins vs Bruins is going to be one hell of an ECF. Wish we could just fast forward to that right now.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Dreger's reporting a 2-year deal for Turris has been reached, ending the biggest joke of a holdout I've ever seen.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

A few people suggesting he'll end up getting traded before the seasons done. Makes sense cause if he didn't sign by what Dec. 2nd he couldn't play this year?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I bet at this point the Coyotes would love nothing more than to sign and trade.

EDIT: and those contract numbers, factored in with his age, make him very tradeable to a struggling team who would still like to take a chance on him.

Just catching up on some Bucci and read this little gem on Crosby (this article was posted Nov. 3):
