Miscellaneous NHL Talk XI

[Garbage Goal]

Argumentative as usual. You don't get the extra point for keeping a game tied for 65 minutes though, do you? You get it for just winning a short shootout.

Sure, you don't lose but you don't win either. Having a situation where 65 minutes of hard, honest hockey is worth the same as 3 shots at the end is farcical and it cheapens genuine points.

Hell, look at the Jets. They've only legitimately beat 5 teams this season and are well above us.

Don't know if you noticed, but we're on a discussion board. The whole point of a discussion board is to discuss things. If you want to swipe it away as simply being argumentative then go for it.

Just weird to complain about a team in an opposite conference being above us in the standings, especially when the Flyers have earned their low spot in the standings despite being in the weakest division by far. Aside from that, it's also odd to dismiss keeping a game tied after 65 minutes as nothing.

CBJ just outshot 15-3 in the first.

Rags & Isles lose. If Edmonton can keep it up that will be another division foe with an L tonight.

Tim seems to be Thomasing again.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Bob getting lit up.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

What did the Columbus Bobrobsky's do to deserve this beating the Oilers are currently serving them?

 

[IslesNation1995]

Hey isles fan here was wondering what it would take to get coburn from Philly? Thanks!

 

[The Couturier Effect]

David Clarkson scored a goal.

No seriously, he scored a goal. No joke.

A lot seeing as he's playing really well lately, the Flyers really have no desire to trade him, & we're division foes.

Anyone in mind you guys want on the isle? Because everyone is underperforming except JT of course

He's been logging a ton of minutes for us so unless we could replace that & get something else I don't think they would do it.

Alright thanks. Unfortunately we have no one except hamonic to do that, quite possibly we have the worst defense in the NHL. I knew before you guys were shopping him so I was just seeing if Garth could potentially get a deal with Philly but I guess he's playing better as of late

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Shawn Thornton sniped Lundqvist tonight, god I wish we could have a capable playing goon like him.

Lots of NHL accounts bashing each other tonight. This one was pretty funny

 

[Beef Invictus]

Looks like Edmonton thoroughly outplayed Columbus and LA is in the process of thoroughly outplaying TB.

Everyone gets their doors blown off from time to time but getting them blown off by Edmonton is pretty damn embarrassing.

I watched about 5 minutes of the game and it looked like a constant EDM power play.

Florida beat the Canucks in a shootout tonight, becoming the last team to win a game in Rogers Arena.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

not really sure if you can blame the goaltending for CBJ tonight. I see a ton of standing around/missed assignments in their own zone that led to goals or scoring chances for Edmonton.
and only gettting 14 shots against a bad defensive team?
just a bad, bad night.

What do you mean?

Bob getting lit up.

So no Veznia for Bob this season??

 

[BillDineen]

It is amazing that the 8th place in the West has 30 points vs 20 points for 8th in the East.

Check out the east vs. west threads on the main board. Just west fans *****ing about how their team is on the outside looking in and would be in 3rd place in the east.

Tears taste so good

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

What do you mean?

Every team had won a game in Rogers Arena (the Canucks home since 1995) except the Panthers... until last night.

The Panthers previous win in Vancouver was in 1994 when the Canucks still played at Pacific Coliseum. Their record in Rogers Arena before last night was 0-5-6.

It was an all around effort for that stinker, hard to point at any individuals.
