[NHL] 2017-18 NHL - 100 Years (aka The Rise of the Golden Knights)

[blotsfan]

I hope Chicago gets a chance at the national spotlight.

If you had told me two years ago that we'd be signing a guy to a six year, $6 million per contract, the last person I'd think would be getting the cash would be Ryan Johansen.

Goodbye Mike Fisher.

 

[Gared]

Goodbye Mike Fisher.

The 3rd District Court of Appeals Justice?

Spoiler: Google confusion

 

[jwhouk]

Goodbye Mike Fisher.

I has a sad.

Hopefully this means Carrie isn't going to give up her season tickets.

 

[jwhouk]

BTW you're looking for Mike Fisher (ice hockey).

...and I notice there's not a single pic of him in Predator Gold on that page.

 

[jwhouk]

I assume today is still a Day of Mourning in Canada?

No idea dude, but my neighbour threw a wicked party on Natal Day and we're all partied out.

...You suck, you know that?

The logo of the Detroit Red Wings is not a symbol of hatred.

I don't like the Red Wings, obviously, but co-opting the logo for racist purposes is beyond reprehensible.

This is certainly a case where I'd root for the corporate behemoth to sue the ever-living fuck out of the little guy.

They don't even realize that the symbol is of a left wing.

Ok, I'm not the biggest Penguins fan but Phil Kessell is a national treasure.

PRAISE BE

 

[HCGLNS]

The Hockey News yearbook is out and predicts that THE WASHINGTON CAPITALS...

Spoiler

will lose in second round

 

[jwhouk]

Lemme guess, they're picking the Leafs and Oilers to meet in the Finals?

Pittsburgh to win.

 

[blotsfan]

The NHL has a new rule, but in one of the biggest plot twists ever...its a good one!

 

[jwhouk]

Pens would have still challenged that play anyways.

 

[HCGLNS]

MAGA: Milbury now subbing for Olczyk on NBC.

Jagr has signed with Calgary!

His teammate Mathew Tkachuk's father Keith was drafted the same year as Jagr.

 

[Covar]

Great stuff.

I'll be going to the games and hopefully the improvements being made will start showing up on the ice and give fans a reason to go.

 

[blotsfan]

I'm optimistic about the Sabres this season so the inevitable failure gets to hurt more!

 

[Timmus]

Jagr has signed with Calgary!

His teammate Mathew Tkachuk's father Keith was drafted the same year as Jagr.

He's not allowed to retire until he's collected every jersey in the league.

 

[HCGLNS]

Subban to Vegas!

Wait, what? Why?

 

[blotsfan]

Glad we don't have to worry about this anymore.

 

[HCGLNS]

Glad we don't have to worry about this anymore.

Cool. I want him to have a solid healthy year and get into a more appropriate rivalry with Matthews.

 

[Timmus]

Subban to Vegas!

Wait, what? Why?

Cause MAF is their other goalie?

Baiting. Knew who it was before I clicked on it. [emoji14]

I remember a few years ago I posted this at the trade deadline.

@jwhouk Weber has been traded to the Capitals.

You didn't take it seriously. Oh how you chortled. You chortled in rapturous glee. And then just a few months later...gone.

 

[HCGLNS]

Cause MAF is their other goalie?

No Subban makes 3 goalies in addition to 9 defensemen. They must be making an AHL team in a rush.

 

[blotsfan]

I think Vegas really overplayed their hand in the expansion draft with the defensemen.

 

[jwhouk]

It begins again tonight.

 

[HCGLNS]

Well last night confirmed some of my fears. Toronto won not because they were good but because the other team sucked.

Both teams need to improve.

What's up with the colour of stick tape rule?
