Stephane Fiset 'bout to close the 5-hole on dis shit!

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Just imagine if the Flyers were playing Pittsburgh the thread would be a shit show then

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Haha Fiset. I've always wondered what happens to the Avs had Roy not melted down in Montreal, and they had to go with T-Bo and Fiset. Can't imagine they get past Detroit that year.

The Avalanche organization would have two less Stanley Cups.

Sakic, Forsberg, and Foote were all there, but Roy was the final piece. Not only that, but the fire with which he approached the game completely turned around the locker room and spread to the rest of the players.

Underrated in that deal was Mike Keane. Talk to any player on that 95-96 club, and they all say Keane was a big part of instilling that winning attitude througout the roster and really leading the club, having been there before with MTL.

Forgot they got the Habs captain out of that deal too. lol I'm happy it happened, even though it made my 13-year old self almost cry when they lost in 96. I remember thinking "finally get the finals and get swept. Win 62 games and lose in round 3. They're never gonna win." But it made the Wings make changes and get guys like Shanny and boy was 97 and the rivalry that was started, ever fun.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

No wonder the Jackets have lost 2 games so far

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

The Jackets just want to get down 3-1 in the series so they can come back and win in 7, since 3-1 leads are the worst lead in hockey.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

:thumbsup The great thing about that rivalry was that it motivated both teams to get better every season, with each team trying to get a leg up on the other. It was like no other team in the West mattered. In that sense, it was very mutually beneficial.
:lol:lol Ladies and gentlemen, this year's Avery award winner.

Maybe we should put a more positive spin on the award, call it the Chirping Lappy award or something? That guy remains one of my top 5 favorite NHL-ers of all time, and apparently he was a brilliant trash-talker.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I was thinking that yesterday. We've seen 3-1 goal leads get blown, maybe a 3-1 series lead too??

Some guy from Colorado got nominated for a Calder. McDonalds or something is his last name.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I don't even know who you're talking about. Avs don't have any rookies this year.

EDIT: Disappointed Maata didn't get a nom.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I thought they were all rookies?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Nope, my dear chirping Lappy. Not a guy under 30 on the roster.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

When will Cookes suspension come down? Game isn't until Thursday, right? So they could wait another day but I hope it comes out today

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

This afternoon. Giddy with anticipation.

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.
