that's what everybody said about Nicklas Lidström and Scott Niedermayer... and Lidstrom win a Norris at 40 years old :p I don't say that Subban wasn't a good defenseman he was pretty good but he has a lot of turnovers and he was a distraction in the room. Weber is a leader and he won 2 gold medal with the Canada and also he's way better defensively than Subban. I do really think that we are better with this trade as a team and I'm way more confident for next season. The only thing we missing is another Top 6 Forward and we probably gonna sign one in the UFA.

Hell yeah baby

Do you still feel that way after The Finals?

Boo!

No no, penguins don't say "boo." They say "why thank you Mr. Commissioner for this giant silver cup."

Good thing Sidney Crosby didn't lift The Wales Trophy and jinx The Penguins.

He skipped touching it that first time and they lost to Detroit, so he's touched it each time since and they've won the Cup. IIRC.

Yep, idiotic superstitions. Now maybe they can stop with the playoff beards thing. Some of the guys from The Sharks look like ZZ Top. Oh and if it is a playoff beard, start growing it with the playoffs and not in October.

And stop throwing crap on the ice.

They would have done the same with Weber man :p

I don't know why Pittsburgh made this out to be such a heinous crime. Anyone who follows college hockey, specially some of the Ivy league schools that have rivalries with other schools, knows this isn't something new. Specifically, the throwing of fish isn't. Pittsburgh fans just look for any reason to bitch and showcase their bandwagon knowledge of the game.

Re: Hockey Talk: NHL Thread and stuff
 

Seems like literally every fan base accuses every other fan base of being on the "bandwagon" when they win. Kinda like how every team thinks they get away with fewer penalties than average.

Anyway, I don't know about "heinous crime," but you don't need to be ignorant of the various fish-tossing traditions to find them gross, or silly. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing that should be thrown on the ice are hats.

I love to watch hockey. Fans throwing crap on the ice isn't a part of the game. I also hate the fans that stand up, turn around and wave at the camera, people pounding on the glass, green men, banners, and noise making devices.

I didn't know Don Cherry posted on here!

Great hair on Lemieux and Jagr. :)

Good grief, hockey starts tomorrow?! The NHL offseason is so freakin' short.

Re: Hockey Talk: NHL Thread and stuff
 

Go Golden Knights!

Re: Hockey Talk: NHL Thread and stuff
 

Go Wild! I lived as a kid in MN and was big into the North Stars (I'm still bitter, btw, Dallas). I watched the opener and the President of Finland was there to throw the ceremonial first puck this year. Thrilling! :P

I'm on the east coast now but can't shake my home town team, no matter how they do.

Nice to see the "World Champions" getting off to a great start. 10 - 1? Ouch. :D
