NHL Hockey thread

I would never read this thread if it weren't for following the Coyotes/Jets/Goldwater soap opera it has turned into. 

It's not like it's about a real sport.

Here are my first round picks:

Montreal vs Boston in 4

Our first fail.



How good do you think Claude Julien will be sleeping tonight? Your job is on the line buddy. Hopefuly the Habs threw them into a mindfuck for saturday.

I mean, we could argue that it sucks & all but that it isn't a sport? Come on!

Somebody predicted that the Habs would get swept?  That was foolish.

I guess Boston never regained their testicular fortitude they lost last year. Oh well.

Another excellent reason for banning BB from this thread for the next three months.

Would going up 2-0 tonight be good for the Caps or would taking a series lead only ensure their eventual collapse?

Winnipeg radio reporting that Senator McCain (who had lobbied in favour of the deal) has said it is "dead", and Mayor Scruggs of Glendale has said that the City has done everything it can (which is funny, as you'd think they were still trying to sell bonds or soemthing).

Poor Hulsizer should have went the Gillet way.

Dude bought the Habs for around 150mil (with a loan of 100mil from Quebec gov) & sold them 550mil.

My enthusiasm for this story has faded now that the long wait for the playoffs is over

But I would be shocked now if they are not in Winnipeg next year

Can't be done, mostly because you're a Canucks fan.

But the Habs actually make money.

I always assumed there would be an element of Edmontonion sour grapes bias.

I wouldn't think that 'sour grapes' applies, would you?  Or any sort of Edmontonian factor.  I simply hate the Canucks and everything they stand for, and most especially their scumbag fans.

When he bought them? Barely but that's not my point. My point is, if you want the state to buy you a team you have to do it somewhere the general population cares about hockey.
