Sup, bitches?

Dallas looks terrible.

Did that Canadien ever get his face reattached last night? Wow.

Blackhawks are going through coaches like it's a game to have the most in a season.

With some luck we'll not suck nearly so much this year.

Also, Devs are starting well this year. They still can't score but they are getting W's.

I'm 91st/200 people on our office hockey pool so far.

I have no idea what I'm doing, but it's only 2 weeks into the season and I only have 1 Leaf on my roster, so I should be ok.

woot

OK, look. It's the Habs' centenary, and I'd really appreciate it if everyone just kept letting them win, OK? :hockey:

I've got 3 of them on my team, so I'm hoping they do!

Montreal can win till they play the Oilers. Who, I must say, are still undefeated at 4 and 0. I'm thinking the depth will carry us well this year. Habs look great. Toronto looks like it should. Dallas? What's up there? And what happened to Anaheim? Ouch.

Oilers rule, that is all.

And yes, for the record, I have finally gotten over the Smytty trade. It was a long difficult process, but I got there in the end.

I like how Mingus moves to Toronto but still refers to the Oilers as "we."

No, really, I do.

I thought all sports fans did that.

Pick a team, and stick to it, no?

That'd be like me picking an Aussie rugby team and referring to them as "we."

I dunno. 'sfunny.

Well yeah, but he lived in Edmonton. You never lived in Australia.

If I went elsewhere, I'd still refer to the Leafs as "our" [hopelessly winless] team.

Yeah dude, I know some Leafs fans in Edmonton/Calgary ... they are hardcore as fuck considering it's been 41 years since they've seen a final ... and they STILL BLAME GRETZ for missing the last one. Hardcoreness multiplied because they'd rather watch boring Leafs games than the rumble of Alberta!!

Here's my glorious, succinct, astute contribution to this thread.

  1. Fuck Bertuzzi. Yay to the fans for booing his every touch of the puck. k
  2. Fuck Roli and his useless 3.5M hinderance on our cap. GO AWAY, already, even the bandwagoners now realize it.
  3. Fuck Souray. He's great but he went a whole 3 games before being injured! Clue in please, and ditch his dusty old ass.
  4. Dallas really is looking awful. I can't wait till McIntyre beats one of them up.
  5. Pronger grew a beard and looks like a douche.
  6. The kids still mesmerize me.
  7. Fuck Glencross.
  8. Nothing feels better than beating Calgary two nights in a row, besides maybe a waterproof vibrator in the bath tub ... and say if Modface were to be hit by a bus.
  9. Viscznovschski is a God on point.
  10. I like the new rules.

Mingus, I think that's just hangover right there. It's a lot easier to get the season going if you win the Cup, nawimeen?

I'm going to only cheer for the Columbus Cottonmouths this year.

Well, and Texas Tech because those fuckers in Lubbock PLAY SOME FOOTBALL!! DAMN! #7 and moving up! But I digress......

  1. Pronger has always been a douche. Period. Fix your fucking posts slut. But I agree that Viznovsky is unreal.

Is Dallas so bad because Avery is running around trying to butt fuck everyone?

Yeah Storm, douche yes, dirty yes, bastard yes, but still one hell of a hockey player.

What did poor Todd ever do to you? Bertuzzi is one of the best passers in hockey, big but with soft hands. I don't get why you wouldn't just be all ga-ga for him. Calgary one of my top 5 favorite teams this year just because Bertuzzi plays there.

Other top 5 faves -

Penguins (I liked them before but now with Satan on their team - when will he be traded to the Devils and given #666 thus finally fulfilling his destiny?).

Blackhawks - my first favorite team when Hull and Mikita played there in the late 50's and 60s.

Canucks - of course but I really like the emergence of Alex Burrows this year - everything that Sean Avery could be if he had talent and was only half as mouthy.

Oilers - worth watching just to watch Sam Gagner.

I don't know what to think about the Canucks. Burrows and Kesler are awesome but I feel as if my life has been made less enjoyable for the next 15 years because of poor Luc Bourdon's death. Human tragedy aside, he was my pick to be the first real all-star defense man that the Canucks have ever had. Plus, I hate this "Roberto Luongo is the captain" stuff.

Unfortunately, that's also about the last time they were consistently worth a damn.

I remember a few years when Denis Savard was playing that they weren't too bad. In fact I still think that of all the players I've ever watched play that he might have been the most exciting of them all.

Nothing to me personally, but to hockey? Sure the guy can get goals, but how about ending a rookie's career forever? How about being a dirty fuck? How about hitting when unnecessary and unnecessarily hard?

How about I just don't like dirty assholes? Learn to play without injuring others, how about?

Yeah thanks.

He also put Souray and Gags back on the injury list. So YOU can't watch Gags because of YOUR favorite asshole. :P Granted, Souray puts himself on the injury list when he masturbates too feverishly.

How about I say how about some more?

You should be angry at his coaches. Bertuzzi doesn't want to hit and he doesn't like standing in front of the net but the coaches make him and when you are forced to play in a way that you wouldn't if left to your own devices then you go overboard and go too far.

Bertuzzi wants to be a skilled passer but unfortunately he is too big and his coaches too unimaginative.

I fail to see how you can have a crush on Pronger but not big Bert.
