The Everything NHL Thread

I have no doubts zidlicky will play better than his piss poor play in Minnesota. But you're trading for a 35 year old defenseman while giving up more than you needed. Plus, I wouldn't say Foster is useless; he's still got a good shot and he can be good defensively on nights. Palmieri still has potential but played himself out of the lineup; I feel he could have gotten a better return than being part of a trade for Zidlicky. And Veilleux, career AHLer, so nothing to say there.

Plus, New Jersey has to conserve those draft picks for when they inevitably trade for Schneider :D

As an Oiler fan who watched him last season, I can assure you that is untrue. Foster is way too soft and isn't exactly sound positionally either.
 
The really old Hal Gill (who skates as fast as a turtle) trade, in which the Habs got two prospects, Blake Geoffrion and Robert Slaney, as well as 2nd Round pick, dispersed confusion throughout all the GMs' minds. Gill wasn't worth that much, honestly. That's why the price for D-men increased substantially, which somewhat explains the Devils - Wild trade. Our fellow Canadiens' GM got a huge amount of praise after the Gill trade, haha.
 
The Panthers, while sucking dick, still have 4 games in hand on the Jets. Let's not go crowning anyone yet.
 
that malkin goal is unbelievable

it's hard to believe that despite how well datsyuk has been playing this season my malkin for datsyuk trade with synre is looking like a dud
 
well at the time malkin was a pure C so I still think it was good for that reason but now that he for some reason gets the RW eligibility synre has the advantage
 
He lost balance because of how hard he was punching lol. That might be losing by nhl standards of "fight ends when one person's on the ice" but Chara was much better off after it ended.

Also, a couple of chickenshit headshots by the Senators. I hope Boychuk is ok. One of the hits seemed incidental but there will probably be a suspension being handed down from this game
 
I despise Chris Neil with the intensity of a million suns, but that hit was GORGEOUS

clean hit, no suspension

No I meant the hit by Turris where he clearly launches with his elbow directly into the head of Corvo. It was shortly after the Neil hit. That should be at least a game or two. This is the hit I meant

The hit on Boychuk was clean IMO, just incidental contact with face-to-body. It looked way worse in real time

Ottawa's coming to our house in a couple days, I love these revenge games.
 
A Bruins fan calling for blood? I never thought I'd see the day.

And then after more of your players get penalties and suspensions for going after the Sens, you'll cry about poor officiating.
 
On a completely unrelated-to-everything sidenote, what the hell is up with these ads behind the net in Dallas? I hope this doesn't catch on.

You're trying to imply that I'm being hypocritical when in fact it's because of the terrible penalties and suspensions handed to Bruins players this season that I figured Turris would be suspended. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect the same terrible calls across the board. If that had been Corvo launching himself elbow-first into the head of a turned Senator along the boards, I guarantee multiple people would be in this thread telling me how dirty my favorite team is. Not a huge issue though, the main reason why I like the Bruins is precisely because they take these matters personally instead of waiting around for the league to (not) do something about it. We'll see the Senators in Boston on Tuesday.
