NHL Hockey thread

Leafs suck.

You can say that again. That was bad. Glad I had front row $460 tickets to last week's game.

It was almost like every time the Bruins scored, the Leafs figured 'Well, they've got us now, so surely they won't try and score again right after a goal, right?'

November is not going to be fun

[Josephus]

Normally we start losing in October. This is progress.

Jesus Christ you Leafs fans are terrible.

The Maple Laughs are 2nd in the East, while everybody's favourite Winnipeg Jets are 12th, yet to listen to this thread you'd swear their positions are reversed.

Another nice effort by the Jets tonight, even though it ended in a OT loss.  Few too many penalties - you can say it was bad reffing, you can say undisciplined, but there were a COUPLE of 5 on threes - that'll kill anybody.  But still they took it to OT.

Be nice to see the boys back at home, see what they can do.  I think they might be ready to go on a streak.

[HVC]

it's just the play of the last few games (the two wins before these two loses were wins becasue of who they played, not how they played). It's just too much of the same old same old.

What the hell is with the Oilers?  It's like they can hardly fail right now.  It's like they've switched places with the Habs or something.

Well, as long as they beat the Canucks, I'm alright with it.

[Barrister]

You know, I thought the giddiness of just having a team would have worn off by now.  Yet here I was at game 15 of the season, still glued to the tv (Thank God for NHL Centre Ice), and I still smile at the notion of cheering/jeering the Winnipeg Jets as they play.

It's like High School / early Undergrad all over again.  But with better skin.

It's their fucking 67 year old soviet goalie. Motherfucker stole one from the CH today.

Fixed your post.

Hey Valmy - it's on.  The Capitals get a taste of a Winnipeg winter tonight.

Too depressed by the Caps recent woes to talk trash

Maybe after the game

Um...those numbers are misleading given their amazing start.  They are playing way below their potential.  The goaltending has been especially sucky lately.

Again - you're leading the division.  The Jets, well, are not.

You will get no sympathy from me young man.

Well for godsake BB our franchises are in different places in their developement.  Washington has a collection of great talent right now, they have a window to win the Cup and they keep blowing it.
