Around the NHL #15 - Ovie is Not a Choker Thread

The Bruins/Bolts are gonna bully the Leafs in the playoffs. Jets look like the real deal

It's been so god damn long since the Jets were a good team. Their time is way overdue.

Agree about the Bruins and Bolts. Lots of experience, especially on the Bruins, vs a really green core in Toronto, it's gonna be a rough ride for the Leafs if they do indeed end up matching up against either of those teams.

The leafs can suck it. I want them to be swept so I can stop having to read about the holy trinity they have.

Congratulations to Daniel and Henrik Sedin on a fine career. Glad we got to hand them their final playoff exit.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I agree, they made our lives miserable as Flames fans for years. But those guys were nothing but sheer class and elite players for many years. Congrats to them on their careers.

 

[Mr Snrub]

Really sad to see that whole era of great Pacific division guys retire without cups. Regardless of whether they played for us or not there was so much skill and so many admirable hockey players out here for many years.

 

[Mobiandi]

I definitely think they have more in the tank but they never wanted to play for another team in the NHL and probably wanted to help the Canucks with their rebuild. Wonder if they go back and play in Sweden or take on a role with the organization

Honestly I used to loathe Lou as well, but now that he’s not a Nuck I think he’s hilarious and awesome. It made me appreciate the Sedins more once he was dealt because it taught me to not look at them with my Flames glasses on. The Sedins are on a similar tier as Linden/Naslund and they 100% have my respect.

Although I will never respect Kesler, Bieksa and Burrows. To much bad blood over the years and the Sedins never went to that level.

f*** Linden, that guy was a Union shill and one of the people most instrumental for the lost season.

My dad used to be a big time Canucks fan and he hated Luongo twice as much as I did

I do hate Kesler, Bieksa and Burrows, though. All three of those guys have no class and not an ounce of the humility you saw from the Sedins, Iggy, Smyth, hell even Big Bert

Instead of retiring, Sedin-Sedin-Iginla should sign somewhere for the league minimum for one last shot.

Hall bolstering Hart Trophy stock by thriving in uncharted territory - Sportsnet.ca

Love some of the quotes from Hall in that article. He just seems proud of his team and the season that they have had. I really hope the Devils make the playoffs

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Honestly Hall should win and it’s honestly not close. He has like double the points than anyone else on his team. Schneider has been hurt a lot this season, Hall is virtually the only reason they’re in the playoffs.

I hope Hall wins a cup before the Oilers ever make it to the playoffs again.

Congrats on Hank and Daniel's retirement, @Anglesmith. Now you're the only Sedin with a job

I can almost guarantee neither will happen, but I agree with your preferences lol.

Yeah.... I don't have a job either. :/

Well that backfired. Not teaching any more?

I was teaching during grad school, but grad school is now over. I'm working on it, though, unlike my lazy brothers.

I hear they are hiring in Sweden.

Watching the Sedin's final game in Vancouver really makes me wish Jarome could of had his here.

I was thinking the same thing, but his return to Calgary was pretty special, and if he does officially retire, he will be celebrated.

The thread was made when Russell signed his extension in Edmonton

Devil's officially in the playoffs. I'm expecting them out first round, but really happy for Hall and the team in general. Always had a soft spot for that franchise so was happy when they won the lotto.

Fun fact, 5 year old me called them The Wrenches because I thought their logo was a wrench
