Kovalev insulting every kid who dreamed of playing in the NHL by not participating in the play and causing his team to lose after getting slashed. Redeemed by Sheldon Souray telling the press that that isn't what NHLers do in the playoffs.

 

[X-Man]

everything there is bad, but nothing beats the work stoppages.

You obviously dont know how much it hurts when you're slashed during a game. It is soooo easy for Souray or anyone to say that you shouldnt stop playing after being slashed but I bet everyone would do that if it were to happen to them. Oh and Souray is also my favorite player so dont think that I'm saying that cuz I dont like him. One more thing, Souray is so stupid that instead of moving out of Kovalev's way he goes crashing into him which leads to the Boston goal.

 

[plaugher]

Yeah, can't believe Cooperalls aren't on the list.

:lol

 

[mazmin]

The Cooperalls are coming back! They're called Nike-Alls now.

 

[kruezer]

Hey man, it was in a bulleted list, I have to give that respect.

 

[kmad]

-glowing puck
-Ville Nieminen's face
-Hasek's diving
-North Stars moving
-Nordiques moving
-everything Messier ever did in Vancouver
-making the light jerseys away, dark jerseys home

 

[BlueBleeder]

Gretzky for kicking the puck to Yzerman in game 7.
Owen Nolan for cheap shotting Courtnall.
Any Sharks player who can't control thier stick.

 

[Kravitch]

I voted Winnipeg leaving.

As for "others":

- This years Stanley Cup finals and how it was looked at as "Tampa Bay vs. Canada".

- People calling Bertuzzi a "crimminal"

- Game 7 of the 1994 finals

- Youngblood (Nearly stabbed my eyes out after watching that POS)

 

[Toonces]

Losing the Whale too...

I voted for the work stoppage

 

[dirt]

Mike Keenan as the Blues GM.

 

[Ric Flair]

Third jerseys, Barasso, work stoppages.

Sorry, I know exactly what it feels like. Ask Bob Baun or Bernie Geoffrion, who both played playoff games on broken legs, whether or not they think it's okay to give up on a play cause you have a boo-boo. Good thing Alexei wasn't on the '84 Oilers when he pulled that stunt, cause Messier may well have killed him in the dressing room.

Ya but Kovalev was MTL's best player in the playoffs and in round 1 of the entire playoffs he was also the best player along with Sakic and someone else. Oh and Im glad kovalev redeemed himself in the next game with 2 goals and 1 assists performance cuz u only had to be in MTL to know how much the fans were pissed at him.

• Jim Belushi: Doesn't do much for the image of us hockey fans
• Arena Music getting more frequent, more redundant and alot louder
• Gary Thorne
• 2 line offside stopping a break away
• Bettman's annual officiating crackdown
• The Rangers payroll
• Bertuzzi Apologia
• Jornos like Max Kellerman dismising the sport out of hand
• Red Wings fans who fled Michigan to live here constantly high horsing the Denver Hockey community
• Brian Marchment
• Larry Brook's latest rumor

Arena Music getting more frequent, more redundant and alot louder

I agree - I miss the organs and have had enough with the cheesy Jock Jam music.

Others:

Changing the Smythe, Adams, Norris & Parick divisions to cheesy vanilla names like Central, Northwest, etc.

These coporate arena names. I miss Northlands Coliseum and Olympic Saddledome, etc.

 

[KariyaIsGod*]

Can I vote more than once for Hull's NO GOAL that gave the Stars the cup...

 

[Terrier]

What drove me over the edge, and lead me to drop my Bruins season tickets four years ago, was overexpansion. The NHL was a decent league until it grew to from 26 to 30 teams. This meant that nights when the Flyers came to town were replaced with nights watching Nashville and Atlanta. UUGGHHH!! I'd like to see a CBA resolution, but consider this: there are FOUR Division I college games to go see in Boston tonight. Hockey options abound everywhere, for fans as well as members of the NHLPA.
