Official 2013 NHL Regular Season Thread

Haha so it turns out ROR would've had to go through waivers before joining the Flames.

[batdad]

Yeah I saw that. Cracked me up. Isles would have grabbed him and sent Tim Thomas back to Boston. Oh wait...ROR is not a goalie is he.

[philou21]

The Panthers told Kovalev to take his retirement. Kovalev still wants is $$$ though so maybe he would be sent in the AHL. Is this surprising? No. He did 3 pts in the first game of the season then only 1 in the next 9 or 10.

[batdad]

Dale Tallon and Jay Feaster are geniuses.

If they send him to the AHL and he refuses to report then they can terminate his contract without having to pay anything.
At least, they could do this under the old CBA. Not sure if that works now

[Doomski]

Wow, it's definitly getting worse for Rick DiPietro.

He allowed 5 goals on 12 shots for his 1st match with Bridgeport. It's really getting ugly there.

[philou21]

Is confidence must be at 0 so I think he's not motivated that much to play there.

[Loosie]

TOR has traded Mike Brown to EDM for a conditional 4th round in 2014. Becoms a 3rd round pick if the Oilers make the playoffs.


GO OIL!!!

[batdad]

McGratton--Calgary. Sestito-Vanouver. Brown-Edmonton. Minnesota? Colorado? North-West division tough guy race.

[philou21]

Patrick Kaleta is suspended 5 games for his move on Richards.

TRUCULENCE!!

God I hate losing to Lehabs.

[philou21]

I was expecting you to react earlier Danny.

[batdad]

Truculence and craptastic skating. And losing to Montreal is not an option. But it does seem to be an inevitability for many teams so far this season.

They have a solid team, they're not really doing anything special but they're hard to play against, and Michelle is a good coach for a year or two, until players get annoyed by him and tune him out. So basically, Habs need to win the cup this season. So basically, another year without a Cup for the Habs because they won't win this year , gotta look at the positive side of things batdad.

[batdad]

Therien is the same as Vigneault....yet somehow AV has lasted what 7 years? Guy must have photos.

And yeah....always a positive (unless your name is Philou) that teams from PQ do not win the cup anymore. Only darn thing you and I can agree on. Well that and the RANGERS SUCK

[Danny]

Well if we're going down that road there's probably about 20 more things we can agree on
Although I do like the Flames and Iggy. Maybe Bruins can trade Bourque to the Flamers for him. I can see Feaster thinking it's Ray.
AV annoys me almost just as much as Michelle. And I always hated Ruff. Nothing to do with rivalries either, I can stand Torts and Carlyle, but those other guys, naaah.

[batdad]

Flames suck. Iggy I love. I don't mind Ruff (but he does not get a ton of play around here) Torts I like cause he tells idiots they are idiots. Carlyle is a loser and I cannot stand him. Gotta gift to be a Cup champion.

Feaster is a moron. LOOCH I love LOOCH. Almost forgot. He is struggling though....

And now that you are rid of Timmeh the POO...less to hate...save for the Winnie the Poo color jerseys. They should have streaks of honey down the side. They suck totally. Oh and Jacobs sucks. Marchand cracks me up.

Way to agreeable....SCREW YOU DANNY.

[philou21]

Team* maybe?

I totally get your Jacobs hate, after all he's the sole reason the Bruins won the Cup according to Lehab fans.
Looch line is being carried by Krejci. If he's invisible so are the other guys. Looch has been alright-ish this season. Not much luck with the zebras, tons of phantom calls, and I say that fully aware of the fact that it's the other way round with Saint Bergeron, don't get me wrong.
Spot on about Torts, loved when he told Brooksie how he probably always got beat up at the bus stop

BTW, article about new draft lottery system up on nhl.com
http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=6585 ... l:topheads

Also only one day this year

[philou21]

Wrong. He's the reason why the lock-out dragged for so long.

Between....You're wrong again, most fanatic of the Habs have probably no idea who Jacobs is.

[batdad]

The new draft lottery is outstanding....if you are a fair to middlin team that just misses the playoffs every year. Um.....wonder who that would be?

[philou21]

Easy, Toronto?!

[batdad]

Just missed Philou. Not missed by a mile for 45 years.

[Danny]

Lehabs just scored the 20.000th goal in franchise history.

[philou21]

Really?!? Holy cow that's huge haha Nice milestone.
