2013 NHL Thread v Lockout with your cock out

Only when they insist on advertising for it during football games.
 
yeah well if theres a Nascar thread theres gonna be an NHL thread as long as im around to have a say about it

I actually like how they only play teams from your conference this year, I really dont care to watch the Flyers play the Columbus Blue Jackets I want to see the Penguins and Rangers and shit
 
Finally there is a hockey thread!!!! YAY for NHL being back!!! :D

Add: I'm Canadian. I don't even like hockey that much. I'm just happy it's back.
 
Yeah hockey is probably the sport with the most parity in it. Anyone can win if you just get in the playoffs and have a hot goalie
 
I feel like hockey is really only popular in Canada. Everyone who I talk to from the US or other countries just doesn't care. But most of the NHL teams are in the US. I am trying to keep relatively up to date with hockey, well at least my city's team. At least I only have four months to keep track of instead of a whole season? lol
 
its just like every other sport some cities care about it and other cities just buy the t shirts after a championship *coughLAcough*
 
Thank your for this thread.. I know we've got some puck heads around here.
I'm a Nashville Preds fan for life. Say what you will, but even though I'm in NYC now I lived in Nashville in '98 and saw their first game ever after joining the league as well as season tickets for every season ensuing. I grew up a fan and don't ever plan on stopping.
 
what are we waiting for? the ice to freeze?

flyers got blown out last night, offense is MIA

Claude Girwho?
 
this thread is gonna survive if I have to talk to myself dammit

I was pleasantly surprised this afternoon when Comcast Sportsnet said NHL Hockey on the guide and I infod it and the little "Live" sign was there, insta-boner.

Anyone else notice it seems like there is a lot of wiffing going on before shots? Seems like every other shot is the guy not getting a good whack at it and it just kind of slides away from him

every time I see Brad Boyes I just think of this NHL Tonight anchor going "Boys2Men" in the b2m voice

you had to have been there
 
were like 1/3rd of the way through the season and the Blackcocks still havent lost a game in regulation. Im pissed Ray Emery is doing good, the Flyers signed the guy a couple years ago and he gets fucking avascular necrosis. So when they move on to Ilya the Philosopher Bryzgalov, he comes back and tears it up again.

although that save he made in the Penguin series in the playoffs last year was downright filthy

heres the vid, one of the best series ive seen in a while

hopefully you guys wake up come playoff time, its pretty sick.

Hockey makes me angry. First they put us through the heartache of almost missing a season. Then we get this shitty shortened version. And THEN my team starts out kicking ass and now is falling apart at the seams. WTF Sharks??
 
I'm here for you shim. I don't get many games on tv but from what I can tell the Blackhawks are whooping ass. Why is new jersey so fucked with injuries right now?

Btw I'm a Canucks fan... I wish I could buy an old school coyote sweater, the ones that looked like the designer was tripping balls. I'm gonna get a vintage KC scouts sweater ASAP too.
 
like this?

because they are pretty sweet

almost feel bad for this guy, only played 10 games in his whole career so far. Welcome to the NHL (19 seconds in is where the fight starts, it doesnt last the whole vid fyi, youll see what I mean)

 
^ yeah yeah dude, those sweaters are so bad ass!
I get blues games, but I hate ALL St Louis sports.
I saw that clip on espn, against toronto no less. I'd be embarrassed... I'm a bit of a senators, devils, and predators fan as well. I miss the days of front row-plexiglas seats for the AHL Blades here in KC. I played as a kid and really miss it.

Ps. I hope china rider reads this.
 
there really arent too many pure Devils fans because most of Jersey either rides ny or phillys dick but marty brodeur is probably the best goalie to ever skate up.
 
and as much as I hate Scott Stevens, the dude had some clean hits that just looked dirty because of how bad the other guy got fucked up. Like the Lindros hit was clean in my book, the guy kept his head down crossin the blue line like 4/5 times what do you expect to happen?

 
That hit was super clean, if anything it was the Libdros fault for ducking his head straight into the hit. Man I miss those checks on the glass live, haven't been to a live game except for college in years.

I'm mostly a devils fan bc they used to be the scouts here in Kansas city. Brodeur is legendary. I may not know many defense men, but I try to keep track of the guys in the crease.
