Re: Auston Matthews: Like some kid playing NHL 17 on rookie mode with his favorite player



AND JUST LIKE THAT, TORONTO GETS THEIR FIRST WIN OF THE YEAR AGAINST THOSE BIG BAD BRUTAL AWFUL DISGUSTING BOTTOMFEEDING BRUIN FUCKS

Much like the first game :mitch2 was playing with confidence tonight. Making plays, showing his skill and scoring his first goal of his NHL career. Anderson redeemed himself after some shaky goaltending in the opener. Kadri/Komarov/Michalek matched up beautifully against the Piece of shit Backes line. Kadri actually dropped his gloves with Backes and didn't get his ass kicked. Props for that. I was expecting Toronto to come out flat after that long winded ceremony but literally the exact opposite occured as Boston was pretty shitty for much of the first half of the game.

WE’RE OFF TO THE RACES NOW!!!!!!!!!!! GAME 3 ON WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!! INTO THE CITY OF WINTERPEG WE GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! GOTTA KEEP OUR HEADS UP NOW OR ELSE THAT VISCOUS BYFUGLIEN WILL ROCK US INTO NEXT MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST STAY FOCUSED, KEEP PLAYING WELL & KEEP GETTING OUTWORKING AND OUTSKATING AND WE’LL BE FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 DOWN, 80 MORE TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TORONTO AGAINST THE FUCKING WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PARTY AT KADRI'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BE'LEAF TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: NHL Draft and Off-season Thread - Hopefully Patrick Kane Doesn't Go Home to Buffalo This Summer Edition

First let's address immediate impact. Immediately, this trade will benefit both teams. They slot out Subby in exchange for Weber who brings in much needed grit and a don't-fuck-around factor that none of our players have. Yay. Yippee. Woooo. Awesome.

Now let's talk about long term effects. Long term, this trade is going to MORTIFY, fucking MORTIFY this team for years to come. I really don't need to explain to anyone here just how bad Weber's contract is going to look in that second half. Instead of FIRING THAT FUCKING INCOMPETENT NINCOMPOOP behind the bench and addressing the GLARING HOLES in this line up, they went and traded a player that together with Price, has kept this team from going full Edmonton for his entire fucking tenure here. I am really, really interested in seeing how Bergevin and the rest of these half wit fucking morons that run this team are received at Bell Centre come October.

Potentially disasterous for the Preds as well;

Re: Laine, Marner and Philly's WOATending.

Auston has finally scored in a game the Leafs went on to win :sundin
He actually scored a point or so earlier too on a game that Leafs won.
Laine has gotten no goals lately. No logic with having coach play him on 3rd lineup.

Florida won with Barkov scoring in shootouts, that must have felt good for him. Since he has gone about 20 games without scoring a goal.

Re: Nasvhille Predators/NHL Playoffs

LOL

FUCK THE LEAFS

I love living in Leaf Nation right now, fucking incredible. My friends and family could not stop making fun of my team for missing the playoffs, for the first time, in 26 years straight. Looks good on them right now. Welcome to the golf course, *******, we've been waiting for you.

Re: Nasvhille Predators/NHL Playoffs

Congrats to the Predators. They played amazing this whole post season. They will most likely meet the Pens there.

Predators highly active through trades, scoring Brian Boyle from the New Jersey Devils and Cody McLeod from the New York Rangers:

Predators acquire Brian Boyle from Devils for draft pick

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Nashville Predators have acquired veteran forward Brian Boyle from the New Jersey Devils for a second-round pick in the June NHL draft.

The Predators announced the trade Wednesday.

Boyle, 34, has 13 goals and 19 points in his 12th NHL season, and he also has 88 hits in 47 games with New Jersey this season. Boyle won the 2017 Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy after battling chronic myeloid leukemia.

The deal gives the Predators both size and experience with forward Austin Watson currently suspended indefinitely as part of the NHL's substance abuse program.

Boyle is a 6-foot-6, 245-pound center originally was drafted 26th overall in the 2003 draft held in Nashville by Los Angeles, and he has played 740 career NHL games with 211 points. He also has blocked 513 shots and 1,498 hits and played in the Stanley Cup Final in 2014 with the New York Rangers and 2015 with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Boyle has 28 points in 111 career postseason games.

Rangers trade Cody McLeod to Predators

The Rangers made their first move in what could be a busy time leading up the trade deadline.

The Blueshirts announced they dealt forward Cody McLeod to the Predators for a seventh-round draft pick in the 2020 NHL draft. The 34-year-old, who the Rangers claimed off waivers from Nashville on Jan. 25, 2018, had one goal this season in 31 games. The NHL trade deadline in Feb. 25.

McLeod isn’t the only player from the area heading to the Predators.

The Devils traded center Brian Boyle to Nashville for a 2019 second-round pick. Boyle, 34, has 19 points (13 goals, six assists) in 47 games this season.
Will perhaps have the opportunity to see these two play for Nashville on March 16 when I travel down to San Jose to watch Predators vs. SHARKS. :)

Nice to have McLeod back, even though he isn't a great player by any means, but at least we've got someone who can fight now if need be.

As for Boyle, he adds some much needed size. Hopefully also helps the PP.


Watson will be in rehab for god knows how long and Rinaldo is out for the season with an injury so kind of expected a few moves to bring in some GRIT and size like these to happen at some point.

Gutted i stayed up until 4am only to see my team lose, but congratulations to the St Louis Blues on their first Cup.

The issue with the Bruins this series was the first line never got going. The Blues did a great job at neutralizing them and as a result we struggled 5 on 5. The better team in the series won overall so i have no complaints. Tuuka was great all playoffs, but in game 7 he was not so good unfortunately.

I feel the key game was game two of the series. We were dominant in game one and they looked a bit shell shocked as a result. I think at home in game two we had the chance to really sink our teeth into the series as St Louis are a better road team than a home team these playoffs, but we lost that game and that allowed St Louis into the series. If we won that game i think we get at least one of the games in St Louis and from there we most likely win the cup.

This was still a great chance at winning the cup again though, and i doubt we will get a better one in the coming years. Toronto are only going to get better, and i doubt we will see what happened to the Lightning happen again. Our team is also not an up and coming one with Marchand and Bergeron both in their 30s and Chara likely to retire soon.

On the other hand i am happy for the Blues. They were the worst team in the league after the first half, but they made a coaching change and put faith in an unknown goalie and it paid off big time for them. They were the best team in the league from that point on and thoroughly deserved the cup.

Anyways, we go again next year. I am sure we will be there or there abouts again. This loss hurts, but i still think we had a great season and have a lot to be proud of despite the final loss.

Re: Mr. Crosby's Penguins = 4X Champs

I am clearly playing off Mr. Popper's penguins with the title. All you geeks need blow a goat.

nice to see the hockey thread tradition of bottom tier thread titles continue
They can't exactly be bottom tier because all my titles are better than your 0 suggestions.

Well isn't that title misleading.
Please explain your bizarre comment.

Re: NHL Draft and Off-season Thread - Hopefully Patrick Kane Doesn't Go Home to Buffalo This Summer Edition

Literally so down about this that I haven't even found the strength to make fun of the Oilers. :subban4

And for the record I always said that Taylor Hall would be GODLY on any other team so let's see if that comes true. :mj2

Re: NHL Draft and Off-season Thread - Hopefully Patrick Kane Doesn't Go Home to Buffalo This Summer Edition

Marc Bergevin will kill Bob Gainey's creation! He's gonna inject a lethal dose of poison into the Montreal lockerrom!



srs tho he'll definitely give Montreal much needed offensive punch. Low risk deal.

EDIT: Tampa re-signs Hedman 7.875 x 8. Stevie Y has had quite the 72 hours. Paying less than 8 for a 9 million dollar dman. Great stuff for Tampa just need to move Bishop and sign Kucherov and everything is in place for a long time. Easily the best deal of the day.

Re: NHL Draft and Off-season Thread - Hopefully Patrick Kane Doesn't Go Home to Buffalo This Summer Edition

the conditions for that Bernier to Anaheim trade were finally revealed:

- If Bernier starts half of Anaheim’s playoff games next spring and the Ducks win the Stanley Cup, Toronto receives the Ducks’ 2017 second-round pick.

- If Bernier starts half of Anaheim’s playoff games next spring and the Ducks lose in the Stanley Cup Final, Toronto receives the Ducks’ 2017 third-round pick.

- If Anaheim trades Bernier to a team that starts him in half of its playoff games next spring and wins the Stanley Cup, Toronto receives the Ducks’ second-round pick.

- If Anaheim trades Bernier to a team that starts him in half of its playoff games next spring and loses in the Stanley Cup Final, Toronto receives the Ducks’ third-round pick.

- If none of those happen, then Toronto gets nothing at all.

On the surface, basically Anaheim got a back-up goalie and his bonus paid by Toronto for nothing. Underneath, this was just a handshake deal that is an extension of the Andersen trade. Had no bonuses had to be paid, Bernier would've been included in the original Andersen trade.

Leafs have gotten pretty lucky with conditional picks lately :ghost.
