Thanks Paul...they're gonna need it. ;)

Anything bad for NJ is good for Boston.:D

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Anything bad for NJ on Tuesday is good for the Hawks. :)

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

They should limit the playoffs to the original 6 teams anyways. We only need the expansion teams to provide variety during the regular season and to provide additional farm teams for us.:r:r:r

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

No, it should just be between the Canadiens and Maple Leafs since they are the only charter members left. :r So in reality every team but them are expansion teams.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Actually you are right but I am using Original Six in the traditional sense. I suppose that we could let the Senators in since they were, at one time, league members in the early days.:tu

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Ok, what did you guys think of Ovechkin's celebration?

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

That crap will get him killed one of these days.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

That's what I'm thinking, and I'm wondering why nobody did anything. Does Tampa not have a big guy? A few years ago, there is no way he would have gotten away with something like that.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I missed it, do you have a link? :)

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Missed the celebration myself. But I have read a ton of stuff saying it was over the top. Untill he wins in the playofs he will just be a showboater.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Let me get the link really quick.

Congrats to Brodeur on shutout #101 tonight against the Wild:wo

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Thank you....that was Bush League. :(

Hawks can't buy a win right now. :mad:

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

At this rate the nucks are going to blow past the Flames and the Hawks :rolleyes::confused::bh

Flames just can't seem to have more than 3 players at the top of their game at the same time. Ollie's on a tear, while Kipper looks like he's napping :mad:....

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Same in Chicago....Toews is on a tear, but the goaltending and defensive (or lack of it, read "Brian Campbell") are killing the Hawks.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Eh, all you guys whose teams will at least see a playoff game get no sympathy from me!!!! :fu :bh :fu2 :tg

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Is he being a ghost on the ice? I swear during the playoffs for the sharks you couldn't tell when he was on the ice, and when you could, it was not a good thing. So happy they didn't sign him, and got Boyle for essentially nothing.

Kings beat the bruins! Give the kings another year or two, and I think they will be very competitive again. Could be a scary division.

The blues have been sneaking up into the playoffs, two points back from the predators, and both have the same amount of games left.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Yeah, I would much rather have Boyle. Campbell isn't invisible at all......he can clearly be seen losing his check, coughing it up, shying away....it is sad. He actually had his best game in 3 weeks last night, and he was barely average.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

How about that goalie in New Jersey!!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

552/101! :tu

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I just read that (Blackhawks) Eager has been suspended for three games, starting with today's game vs the Kings. Did anyone see what he did? I know it was a blow to the head, but no details in the quick article I read. Tom?
I know he's gotten nailed for "blows to the Head" in the past. Just curious how bad it was. I guess he's considered a repeat offender now.
I'll see if I can find a link

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

tacky and classes just like him. He if he wants to be T.0. go play football. What i'm saying is act like you've been here before and act like ya got some god damn sense

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Elbow to the noggin', Wayne. Wasn't too bad except Eager went about 6 strides out of his way to deliver it.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Thanks, Tom. :tu

I was trying to find a clip of it, but no doing. I always like to see what happened before the infraction.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

3 points separate 5 teams for the last 2 playoff spots in the West, with 8-9 games to play. It's gonna be a great finish in the West! :D

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Blues won an incredible game last night against Vancouver. One of the most well played and worst called games I've seen in a while. That makes it three in a row and put's the Blues (1) point from the 8th spot. We're getting there!! :tu

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Congrats, Tom. :tu
Just finished watching the Blackhawks finish off the Devils in OT.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Why do the Devils always have to play their worst before the playoffs? :confused: I hope they get their losin' out now.....

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I feel your pain. My Wings got blanked by the Islanders last night!:mad:

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Sorry Patrick... they just had to run into the buzzsaw that is my Hurricanes! :r

It does seem the 'Canes are peaking at the right time. :tu

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

My Stars Lose agian..:(..But we had good seats.........;)

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Blues win three in a row and are now tied for 8th. Needless to say, I don't need nail clippers anymore. This is going to be a long, yet fun, Reg. Season wrap up.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Its like...they dont even care anymore...that or they are faking everyone out by sucking and when the playoffs come around they will kick ass cause all the other teams are like "haha look at the wimpy Devils"

The we kick butt and win the cup!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

From a Bruins fan, thank you Hurricanes.:tu

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

..and follow that up with an effortless stinker vs. the 'nucks. :mad:

Will the real Hawks please stand up? :r

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Blues vs 'Hawks (Wednesday), Tom.
I can't wait!!! I'm a bit worried though, Blues are on a 5 game win streak and as we all know, streak's don't last forever. The "Kid Line" has brought new life to STL.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

The 'Hawks are looking strong... congrats on the 5 game win streak, but STL could be in trouble. :hm

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

If the Hawks play as effortlessly as they did yesterday, they could be the ones in trouble, Joe! :r

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

:ih Game time, Tom!!! :ih
You're probably there, aren't you?

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

The Devils F*****G!!!!!!!!! SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What happened to them? #1 in the Atlantic now 7 losses in a row!

I just cant believe it! Do we just not care?

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

At least you've clinched a playoff spot. The Devils always seem to play better in the playoffs. You know how the NHL is, "Second Season" play is always different. Have faith my friend. That's what I'm living on with my BLues. I'm just hoping they don't end up giving me the BLUES. :tu

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I hope they can keep the Ducks out the playoffs. Dislike both teams, but its been awhile since a good sharks/blues matchup.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I hear ya. Those were some great games, but it may be wishful thinking the way the Blues played tonight. :bh It was like they were playing in slow motion. The Blues couldn't get anything going with Chicago keeping 4 back and 1 on the forecheck.

By the way congrats on the win, Tom. :bx
I guess you had to beat us once this season. :D

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I honestly can say tonights game was the first in a while Ive watched. I was talkin to a friend on facebook who is also a huge Devils fan and he told me that the refs have been calling alot of stuff against the Devils that should have not been called causing power plays (where we have been really sucking and allowing goals) and letting stuff go that should have been called on the team they were playing. Tonight Brent Sutter actually went out on the ice to yell at the ref and they game him a penalty for something like "abusing a ref"

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

That's the second time. ;)

St Louis didn't play with the urgency I expected being that they are fighting for their playoff lives...especially against a team that played last night in Montreal. Jackman and Oshie were not the dominating forces the way they were the last couple times the Blues beat the Hawks.

Good luck on the rest of the playoff run....I would love to see all 5 teams in the division make the postseason. :tu

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Watchin' the Hurricanes and the Rangers...

In the second period, that idiot Avery grabbed Cam Ward by the helmet and forced his head down... and he actually got whistled for it! :wo

Zebras don't miss everything, I guess. :al

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Nice win for the 'canes, Joe! :tu

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Thanks, Tom! 'Canes are playing well... preparing myself financially for the playoff tickets. :wo
