[NHL] Generic-titled 2015 NHL Thread

[jwhouk]

Jimmy Vesey is a lying sack of fecal matter.

And an observation from a fellow Predator fan (from Hockey's Future message boards):

I'm guessing the norm in the very near future will be to trade a college player for anything you can get if he refuses to sign as a junior. I know I wouldn't waste a dime of effort on them after that point other than to send them a contract if I can't trade them when their time is up.

 

[blotsfan]

Yeah, the Sabres had an issue like that with Hudson Fasching. He's from Minnesota and just finished his junior season there. We gave up a lot for him and people thought he was going to do one more year at school and sign with the Wild. We signed him for this season to burn a year of his ELC on these last few games in order to convince him to play here.

I can't blame a guy for going into free agency if you're well-regarded enough though. I'd want the chance to choose where to play and make more money as well.

Man I get to say it earlier than usual this year.

An American team has won the Stanley cup.

You may the only person who cares about that.

Up here the story is all about the emails and big of a douche Colin Campbell is.

 

[blotsfan]

I've seen enough Canadian fans bitch about it that I know that's not the case. Their complaining is the only reason I care.

 

[Timmus]

If it means the leafs, oilers, or flames don't win I'm happy with a Canadian team not getting the cup.

Hoping the Pens hammer in the final nail to the Coffin of the Flyers' season today.

This sentence is much funnier when viewed in At First Glance-O-Vision.

It's been a long time since a Canadian team has won. It's been a even longer since any those three teams has won. And it feels like the Leafs haven't won since @Dave was a toddler.

They hadn't invented ice yet then.

The universe hadn't yet finished cooling after its rapid expansion.

Predators gon win the Stanley Cup

and re: Vesey I am reverting to the "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" rule

 

[jwhouk]

The Leafs won the Cup before even I was born.

 

[BErt]

Here. We. Go.

Enjoy it while you can. It's supposed to be torn down next year.

It's 100% torn down next year. Sorry if I'm a sucker for anniversary celebrations, but 25 means a lot more than 24. I'm just happy to be here.

 

[HCGLNS]

I want Florida to win! or maybe St Louis.

Somebody new would be nice.

 

[jwhouk]

I, hate Dead Things, I hate Dead Things, I hate Dead Things... DEAD THINGS SU-UUUCK!

 

[HCGLNS]

I think I am ok with Nashville winning. I like that Weber kid.

I, hate Dead Things, I hate Dead Things, I hate Dead Things... DEAD THINGS SU-UUUCK!

Cool I won't crash your "no Homers" party again. My mistake. Have fun.

Don't mind him. He has issues with Chelsea Dagger, too.

 

[jwhouk]

Don't we all?

And I won't say anything bad about the Pens. It's not nice to kick a man when he's down.




Oh wait, this is Marc-Andre Fleury we're talking about. Never mind, then...

 

[jwhouk]

Caps off to a solid start. Isles start off well, too.

Sharks win on the road, film at 11.

 

[jwhouk]

And thank you, Martin Erat, wherever you are.

6.25% there.

 

[Sparhawk]

STARS!! We've got a good start with a 2-0 lead over the Wild.

 

[jwhouk]

Series Up 3-1 (aka "This is Pretty Much Over But the Crying"): Dallas, Saint Louis, San Jose, Tampa, Washington
Series Up 2-1 (aka "There's Still a Chance"): Nashville, Pittsburgh
Series Tied at 2 (aka "Best of Three"): Florida/Brooklyn (er, I mean the NY Islanders)

 

[DarkAudit]

Detroit is the first of the fallen.

 

[Sparhawk]

Dead Things are gone! Dead Things are gone!

On a sadder note, could have been the last NHL game for Pavel Datsyuk. Great talent, just don't like that team he played for.

 

[jwhouk]

Series now tied at two.

 

[DarkAudit]

This popped up on my twitter feed a couple of hours ago...

 

[PatrThom]

Clever.

Hawks stave off elimination with a Kane GWG in double OT.

And of course I forget to play the overtime challenge with Kane/Weber.
