OT: Around the NHL | Summertime Blues

[Al Smith]

Hoffman and gf double down on their story.

 

[Turin]

There has to be some evidence of Caryk being horrible to them prior, as well as evidence that she wrote those things online, or else Karlsson’s wife is the crazy one.

Hoffman and his gf’s response is pretty putrid though. No empathy or attempt to play the part of a concerned friend or teammate.

 

[BHD]

Why are they so obsessed with the Penguins?

Whatever. I'm happy for the long-suffering Caps fans, but I roll my eyes at stuff like this.

 

[Rossi Rat]

Just wanted to let you know that most Caps fans find this stuff cringe worthy. As soon as I saw it I eye-rolled and unfollowed them.

I also wanted to note that that tweet is not from the Washington Capitals but the television station that covers them that is owned by Comcast.

I mean maybe I’m just a jerk-off, but to me at least, part of the fun in winning is sticking it into the faces of your rivals.

But yeah, especially given it is still some sort of media outlet’s official Twitter account, not to mention the Pens’ recent success and general dominance of the Caps up til this past season, it does look very amateurish.

 

[LOGiK]

Why are they so obsessed with the Penguins?

Reminds me of the ESPN days of nothing but Detroit Colorado games.

Because they have a big thing about Sid and OV. Not to mention the Penguins were B2B champions with pretty good chance at 3peat having not been for the Trapitals...

 

[Gurglesons]

I mean, why would the Capitals not rub it in our faces. We got to raise a banner against them in 2017.

Uh What? Pens raised their banner vs the Blues.

They didn't raise that banner on February 2nd.

There was no mention of the Capitals after the Pens moved on in that series, the Capitals literally beat the Pens in the 2nd round and they're still chirping the Pens after beating the Bolts and the VGK as their last 2 series. That's petty, I mean its great for them they won, but you gotta be kidding yourself if that's not petty.

You'd think the Capitals just defeated the Pens in the finals or something.

Oh, sorry meant 2016.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Oh, sorry meant 2016.

Again, home opener, IF Caps want to be mad, be mad at the NHL for scheduling that. What should the Pens have done? "Oh hey guys, let's not raise our banner in our home opener because caps fans are gonna be even saltier..."

Come on, you know Crosby and Malkin were giving the Caps a mouthful that night.

I don’t think a lot of teams hate each other, but the Pens and Caps are a serious contentious rivalry. I love it. Caps winning makes it even better.

TBL Las Vegas were not B2B defending champions.
It should come off as we beat the champions so now all is left to beat the remaining teams to prove we were the best.

Maybe for being the giant pieces of shit that they are, which is 100% deserved to them. Hell even this year, give me a f***ing break, it kills me to even trying to be nice about their win given that the DoPS took a fat giant shit all over the playoffs.

Done deal according to Cap Friendly

[BHD]

Arizona gets a player who managed to put respectable numbers in less than ideal circumstances. The Habs get a player who couldn't deliver in a prominent role.

Domi is going to go through the same thing as Drouin did. He'll be treated as a "the guy" when he's better off as part of the supporting cast.

People wonder why Canadian teams don’t win. Prime example.

Put all canadian players on canadian teams and watch the rest of the league be obliterated.

How a team is ran doesn't come down to nationality.

It’s not nationality, it’s the media.

Ottawa, Montreal and Edmonton are bottom five in terms of franchise decisions.

 

[Rudy Russo]

Quick Rutherford and call Bergevin. TSN is saying that the Habs are looking for a defenseman. (Hunwick).

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Just like how American teams don't win in the NFL.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Bergevin makes the weirdest trades. Nevermind even bothering to take into account value, he makes trades where he sends out valuable assets without actually addressing his team's needs.

Galchenyuk is an asset. Montreal needs centers. So what does he do? Trades one of his better assets for a guy better suited to being a winger.

Fixed that for you! This might be our only chance.

So when do they try and trade Price for a bag of peanuts?

they would need to be salted and roasted......bergy is no dummy.
