OT: Around the NHL | Good riddance, Rivalry Night

[Clare2904]

Might as well. I dunno how anyone can still be salty almost a decade later but they still are. That's what you call the most entitled fanbase on HFBoards.

Can't remember where I read it the other day but the arena no longer has "Hockeytown" painted into the ice. They were all crying which is just downright daft as they all f***ed off last season when they were shite. Only Hockeytown when winning.

If only they distributed more curly fries that night. The home team MIGHT have won.

Yum.

This is why I prefer animals to people, not that I hate people though.

It IS a little suspect that Zetterberg will miss next season. Cap circumvention as mentioned here by some perspicacious folks
and also a great way to tank more efficiently and less suspiciously than f***ing up lines and stuff.

Incidentely the Wings are going nowhere... so... how Zetterprising it is.

It was a NHL/ Bettman mandate to cut off the curly fry supplies, duh!

The Bruins will have twice as many ads painted on the Garden ice this season

"In the spring, it was announced that the league had authorized four new on-ice ad spots, and that the ads would begin appearing in the 2018-2019 season. Each of the four spots is in a corner of the rink, below the goal line."

Gross. Didn't realize this was starting.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Without a doubt you should make this thread.

I could probably come up with a great OP but not sure how much of a sense of humour the mods on the main boards have. I know they’d close it but I don’t want to cop a ban for a bit as well.

I’ll stick to making bad jokes on the Pens board where it’s safe

Wonder if the hospitals in Boston will advertise there for when Marchand elbows someone in the head again.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Wonder if the hospitals in Boston will advertise there for when Marchand elbows someone in the head again.

Or the Health clinics advertising free inoculations for when he licks someone.

 

[EightyOne]

Lol lol. Well. Now that those extra ads are a Player Safety item, I can't hate the aesthetic.

 

[ILikeTurtles]

Oh goodie, now there is a thread asking who is better, Jagr or Ovi.

Funny how Leafs and Caps fans are so eager to overrate their stars (Matthews and Ovi to name 2) in order to erase their inferiority complex when it comes to the Pens players achievements. To be honest Ovi is getting there but no way Leafs players are getting close to Crosby and Malkin yet. (pic below dated 2012 if you're asking).

The wifebeating **** bucket Voynov can return to the NHL. **** anyone who gives him job.

That's the fault of the State of California, which vacated his conviction for God knows what reason. I'd really like to know whose palm got greased, here.

Anyone read the comments from Anderson?

"I love Ottawa -- I've been there for eight years now and that's my home -- but I don't want anything to do with drama."

Jeez louise. The Sens are a soap opera.

It’s weird in a way that Dorion signed for another 3 years with how Melnyk has basically handcuffed him. Yeah it’s a job but surely he could be happier elsewhere.

Seems Ottawa and NYI even more so are the two worst run organisations in the league. It’s a shame.

 

[BHD]

37% for a team that finished 28th in GF. Good game, Wings.

It's hard to evaluate what the GM does when there's so much shit happening in the background. However, the Sens had just come off their run to the ECF.

Tanking for Hughes? Sure seems like it....

I bet if he had a stash of plastic straws Cali would care.

But domestic abuse pshhhhh let's give him another chance guys...

That state really is living in it's own fantasy world. Ashame too because it really is a beautiful state. Minus LA, what a shit hole.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Might as well. I dunno how anyone can still be salty almost a decade later but they still are. That's what you call the most entitled fanbase on HFBoards. Gotta love how anytime Pens win the cup it's been rigged, like people ACTUALLY believe that ****. We should have 0 cups and 0 playoff visits in our entire time Pens have been around in the NHL, because we are such a useless and worthless hockey club and fanbase. Anything and everything bad should happen to us because they are the Penguins and stuff like that.

Funniest part about it is...its like they dont even acknowledge they beat us the year before. Its like that 2008 win was completely erased from history because of our win in 09. Its never mentioned..only the loss in 09. I could see if we won both...but its tied up at 1.


Another reason I want them back in the playoffs in the Crosby/Malkin era, to renew that rivalry but a longshot as of now. Would have love to have seen a 3rd matchup in the playoffs(1st or ECF)

Case in point JR, *I* for one looked at the Semin signing and a few other dubious moves and when we picked him up was a bit doubtful. I doubt him no-more. Sure he makes a few mistakes but he corrects course faster then any GM i've seen. Hard to argue against B2B cups...

if you like a burnt wasteland.
edit; seeing the sun set over a burnt wasteland, you start to feel like it may never rise again.

You really think so? His back is absolutely brutal, has been since sochi. Show some respect to him, was playing with f***ed up back last season in that shitshow. Great player and i tend to think that he is not that guy who will go like Hossa.

 

[EightyOne]

I believe this Zetterberg injury more than others...

Is it convenient for a cash strapped, tanking Red Wings? Sure. But that's how it goes. Pens benefited from Dupuis on LTIR, too.

 

[BHD]

IMHO, Zetterberg comes across as a guy who would play out the contract, even if it means a couple of years on a bad Detroit team. Besides, the organization has talked about remaining "competitive" (haha). Him not playing doesn't help their cause.
