Would love to watch the two Alberta teams destroy each other in round 1

What was the purpose of Lucic that game?
Milan needs to spend more time on Granville Street apparently.

Don’t care who wins as long as they beat the hell out of each other and it ends in regulation. Check and check.

it’s really quite amazing at how completely useless he has become.

He was supposed to be the new generation of power forwards.
Guy flames out before he hit 30.

Light out-of-town schedule tomorrow with the Super Bowl going on, both the other games only involve eastern conference teams.

 

[Aphid Attraction]

Mike Smith is one of my least favorites players in the NHL, but that was great, I hate goalies that take liberties on skaters that cant hit them back, great to see Talbot get his ass kicked for it.

 

[vanarchy]

12 teams in the league within 4 points of each other. Jeez.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

As much as I hate both teams, I sure do love the Battle of Alberta when it's going full tilt.

 

[Josepho]

It's something I haven't really experienced yet as a hockey fan, but the league is funner when the three western Canadian teams are doing well.

I know I'm supposed to hate them but this is way better than seeing the California teams just shit on everyone else.

So I guess the media is going to just collectively ignore Tkachuk pulling Bear’s hair a few times in that fight? It’s plainly visible.

I saw that too but with Bears long hair and Tkachuk mainly trying to grab his jersey the hair was just in the way of the optimal grab zone

Surrey boy throwing a punch on Robinson? While he was down pissed me off way more

Yeah, I like Khaira, but that play was dirty pool as well.

Did he really do anything in the 2011 besides taking the hit from Hamhuis?

He was a pretty impactful player for the Bruins in his time there. The Flames brought him in for games like the one last night...and he did nothing.

Other than taking the Hamhuis hit, I didn't notice him at all in the Finals.

That injury to Hamhuis alone might have been his biggest contribution... and it hurt dearly.

Yep, I agree. I love seeing California suck. Let it stay that way for a bit.

Montreal sends Kotkaniemi to Laval (AHL)..3rd OA pick in the 2018 draft.

That's what he gets for dissing an alien and his shot.

 

[Josepho]

I'm really fascinated with watching the Red Wings and seeing how f***ing terrible this record could get.

I didn't think we'd ever see a non-expansion team do worse than the 2017 Avalanche, and now they're in a legitimate race with the 2000 Thrashers.

Somewhere, Peter Karmanos is laughing

 

[PG Canuck]

I love it when the Leafs suck. Them missing playoffs would be amazing.
