GDT: 2016 NHL Playoffs Thread Part 1

[Do Make Say Think]

31 is pretty old because some great players decline by then. it's why giving a long contract to a player who is 25-30 is tricky (like Vinny, Vanek)

I'm 32

EDIT SCHWARTZ!!

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Well, if there's anyone with Chicago I don't mind succeeding, it's Hossa. What a snipe.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Hossa!

What a shot

The Blues are not going to get it done tonight it seems, they really do not seem interested.

Uh huh.

 

[MarkStone]

Enjoy mediocrity Wings for the next couple of years.

There are two teams in the league right now that need absolutely need to start a rebuild. One being the Canucks and the other being the Wings. Both teams won't do jack **** unless they start a rebuild.

I don't see a rebuild happening with Detroit. Illitch wants championships right now for the Tigers and Wings due to his age. The former Tigers GM Dombrowski actually got ran out of town due to not delivering a world series, and being opposed to totally emptying the cupboard to give a past their prime team a slightly better chance at winning one (aka what the Wings have been doing in free agency the past few years).

Well then they will stay mediocre for several years then.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Well we will have company then

my thoughts exactly

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Shattenkirk should have had him down

 

[MarkStone]

Well then they will stay mediocre for several years then.

Oh I completely agree, and long may it continue.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Uh huh.

Oh look!

EDIT: and now it's 3-1!

This is going to seven, incoming St-Louis epic choke.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Oops, guess Elliott's not going to steal this game tonight.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Oh look!

I'll eat it if/when the second part of your post comes true.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Going to seven or choke?

I mean if it goes to seven it's already pretty bad

 

[saskriders]

Chicago is so detestable. Especially that POS Kane

The choking part.

If it goes to 7 but St-Louis takes it, I ain't eating no crow, even if it would be pretty bad, as you say.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Chicago is so detestable. Especially that POS Kane

Not sure I agree that they are detestable

I think annoying is a better fit for how I feel about them

They have a lot of great players and they are so clutch

 

[Sun God Nika]

Chicago is a hype team, don't get the hate

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Keith = +3

He's a dirty player, but he's a damn good defenseman. 3 goals and 4 points in 3 games too.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

St-Louis is so pathetic.... Chicago running 5 D and the Blues can't do anything offensively

 

[Boud]

And they have the last change on top of that.

If St-Louis goes on to lose this series Ill lose my ****. Atleast we'll get a shot at Ten Inch ****.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

What a goal!

Hard to believe we had people think Fabbri was no better than Puempel

 

[saskriders]

Original 6 is an instant starter in the hole for me because they get too much media love, as well as people that talk like those 6 teams are superior.

Winning so many cups lately is annoying as I would rather see variety if it is anyone but Ottawa.

The fact the league put them in so many outdoor games is unfair to other teams.

There is such a big bandwagon around them.

Patrick Kane has done some deplorable things, but he is one of the most popular players.

They have annoyed me personally by beating teams I like in the playoffs regularly (Blues, Wild, Canucks)

It really annoys me that they have Hossa and a player I like so much is on a team I hate so much.

Even as a kid I never liked them because their "brand" is unapealling.

Their goal song is stupid and obnoxious.

They somehow manage to keep a lot of star players even though the cap was supposed to prevent stacked teams.

I could probably come up with more too.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

And they have the last change on top of that.

If St-Louis goes on to lose this series Ill lose my ****. Atleast we'll get a shot at Ten Inch ****.

I think you would be the only one to lineup for that.

Ken Hitchcock on the other hand...

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

What a goal!

Hard to believe we had people think Fabbri was no better than Puempel

What a trio of young studs they have up front in Fabbri, Schwartz amd Tarasenko. I think St Louis is way more talented and deep than Chicago but the experience of the Hawks is unquestionable. They just get it done.

 

[Boud]

Well, when you are the best player in the NHL, even if you have apparently done some horrible things, you'll be extremely popular.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Come on Blues! Finish the goddam comeback!
