I wouldn't count on putting the Rangers in the playoffs just yet. After the last couple of games I'd be surprised if they even made it at this point.

You can't be fucking serious? I didn't think anyone could one up Wing fans on the drama queen scale, but you just did congrats.

Yay :D

No seriously, Rangers will make the playoffs, so will the Wings, my complaints don't come from the standings, but the continue failures of the team that they do over and over again (EX: Bad special teams, playing down to weaker teams, lackluster road effort, etc...). It makes me extremely angry to see them continue to do stuff they shouldn't over and over again despite managing to be on top of the league, well we have played more games than other teams too which can come back to hurt us.
 
Rangers will win the Cup — this was already set in stone once they got invited to start the season overseas.

What do you guys think this will be about? Major announcement from the league tomorrow... My money is on the new division/conference layout, to better incorporate Winnipeg... Or maybe they're finally moving out of Phoenix.

It's already been confirmed to be about next year's Winter Classic. They're just officially announcing the location and all that, pretty boring.
 
I don't know why people think that we whine too much. One of our best players just shattered his finger in 30 different places and is in intensive care.

Look at Pens fans. All they do is cry about how Crosby is out with his minor headache. Take some Ibuprofen, dude.

The Rangers could inexplicably go 12W-20L for the remainder of the season and they'd STILL make the playoffs.

I would have liked a disclaimer for that post, Henrik.

Hey NHL and Leafs GAF - I have returned after a month-ish long absence due to the wife and I moving. So sorry to line mates. Outside of the Manics/Epic fiasco, what have I missed?
Early prediction? A novel by Socreges ;)

Who?

WELCOME BACK

Ditto, I'm pretty sure with the quick poll taken when the rumour was first announced at least 10-15 of my friends are so down to going to this.

Some of us are already working out how we'll potentially spend New Year's eve.

:lol

I would love to get tickets to the Winter Classic, but I have no clue if I'll even be here come next January (job wise I mean). :(
 
Habs finally got the top Center they were looking for who has grit and knows how to energize the team and his name is Lil Jon

Not really sure why he was at the game, some of the players got pics with him cue the 6 game losing streak.
 
So what does everyone think the asking price is gonna be on Nabokov at the deadline? I'm not talking about Philly. We already have enough Russian goaltenders... But on a team like Chicago he could be really scary. It seems like he's back to his old self again and he has experience with deep playoff runs.
 
Call me crazy but I don't thing Snow sells Nabokov. Isles are playing well right now. Granted there's a huge difference between playing well when it matters and playing well when your chances to make the playoffs are slim, but they are still playing well. I think snow will want them to "Make a run" at it, so that they can have some sort of sense of winning. I think Nabokov is gonna give them a chance to win games.
 
Nabby and Tavares seem to be carrying the Islanders right now. Nabby has always had that ability but he's also incredibly not clutch in some high pressure situations. Anyone trading for him is taking a gamble.

It could see a 2nd or 3rd round pick and a mid-tier prospect OR a 2nd/3rd round pick and a mediocre player, who is signed through next year and is slightly under-performing from a contract perspective, from a team near the cap. I don't see Nabby being worth a #1 to any playoff teams.

Though, as stated above, I can see the Isles keeping him, since the young guys on the team (and the fan base) could use a little playoff experience.

If I see one more Rangers, Flyers or Wings fan bitch about their team, I'm gonna lose my shit. Talk about first world problems, NHL GAF style. Your teams are going to be top 4 seeds in their respective conferences, so shut up and leave the bitching for us fans of bottom feeders.
Click to expand...

I'd rather they finish 6th since they play better on the road and they'd get to play Washington.
 
The 4th Period has a chart on possible players leaving at the deadline and what teams are interested in them and they have the Habs listed as interested in Suter, this is the first time I've ever heard anything remote to that.

Sutton has been really solid for the Oilers, I'd be upset if they moved him for picks or something. Tambo would do it.
Click to expand...

Yeah he's usually pretty solid when he's got confidence and isn't throwing elbows around.

Still fleeced in comparison to how Cogs has been for us though. But that was more of a salary thing, right?
 
He can voice his opinions on Facebook. I think that's totally fine, though maybe not very wise. Using the White House invitation to do his political grandstanding was something else, though.

As for the opinion itself, holy shit. Using a quote about Nazi persecution to protest the provision of birth control? Now just imagine the shit he's decided to keep to himself.

This. He's free to be an idiot all he wants. Though I actually think that same logic applies to the WH visit too.

Didn't he promise that he wouldn't go public with his political/religious beliefs anymore, for the sake of his team?

Sounds like a new meme "Scumbag Thomas" what an idiot, what purpose is he serving by saying these things?
 
Fuck you FSN Sports, I'm tired of the terrible Pistons on every time when the Red Wings are on and 86 just work for me on basic cable.
 
Give me a break, look at Miller's dumb face, even he's confused by that call. Refs babying him.

Habs are doomed now.

I'm pretty sure Cogliano and Sutton were traded in separate deals.
Click to expand...

That's right, both were near the same time so I just mentally melded them both in as one big trade. It was for a 2nd round pick in 2013... Which might be a fleecing on Edmontons end.

Sutton for Foster, that was it. And we got Fraser and Pelley from the Devils for him and Timo Pielmeier. Effectively we traded Sutton for an AHL defenseman and a 4th line grinder.

Meh, he wasn't fitting in anyway.
