The Everything NHL Thread

Honestly, I disagree with most of you on that trade, I think it's fairly reasonable for both sides. Cammalleri is vastly underperforming for Montreal. He's capable of a lot more, as shown by some of his seasons in LA and more relevantly the season in Calgary that netted the contract he has now. Calgary has obviously regretted not being able to retain him, and they're giving Montreal a strong, gritty player that fulfills some organizational needs and is producing on a similar level to Montreal's Camm. If they keep playing how they are, Borque is probably the better player(I imagine he's not super well known outside of fantasy circles but he's a strong real-world asset), and if Cammalleri plays more similarly to how he did in Calgary than how he did in Montreal, Calgary gets the better player because his potential is much higher. I don't think Cammalleri was suddenly going to step it up in Montreal and was pretty openly a bad presence in their locker room and frees cap room, so I like the move for them, and Camm is a piece Calgary can build around and is the best player in the deal so I like the move for them if they can make him work.

Funny seeing Ramo in the trade, though -- I remember the Lightning commentators trying to bill him as the next big thing when he was playing for them as a rookie and Tampa was horrible(I guess they're kinda horrible again), funny how those predictions work out...

I guess at least he isn't Steve Mason.
 
What excuse is there for the Bruins losing to the Canes tonight? It can't be the penalty excuse, cause the Hurricanes had a grand total of 0 powerplay opportunities. Isn't Boston AMAZING at even strength? Didn't they only lose to the Canucks because the Sedins are divers and the refs cheated?

It was the first home game in franchise history where the Hurricanes did not have a powerplay. The refs sure do hate the Bruins!

Carolina is responsible for 3 of the Bruins' 13 losses. Aldaron is completely right when he says the 'Canes have the Bruins number. I don't think anyone can explain why they have the Bruins' number, but I agree that their losses to the 'Canes are far more troubling than outscoring the Canucks 3-0 at even strength. I'm not sure how I could explain your comparison of those games without reciprocating the obvious personal jabs you're making.
 
PVR is your friend. If you don't have one, then there's a site that does upload torrents of recorded games but it's pretty hard to get into (sign ups are rare and you have to go through a "screening' process).
 
I've figured out Jiri Hudler is a monkey. If he sees someone do a flashy SO move, he'll emulate it to the point of perfection.

Monkey see, Monkey do.
 
Elliott with a 2 year extension with a 1.8 mil cap hit.

Halak/Elliott tandemn until 2014 is solid. Blues are going to be challenging the Central division for quite some time.
 
It also lessens the pressure on Allen to make the jump.

Also a minor trade that involved sending Dadonov to the Canes. I was disappointed with how poorly he has played this season (and apparently so was Tallon). Still, I think they should've kept him (since they got a career AHLer in Matsumoto, and some guy I don't know about).
 
That's a great video. That video should be renamed "why Vancouver rioted: a tale of butthurt". Fans of one classless team trying to attack a team with no pretensions about class. Talk about amazing editing, you'd think that the Canucks weren't guilty of the same exact things they accuse the Bruins of!

I almost burst out in tears at the end when they tried putting the Bruins Stanley Cup win against the Canucks on par with one regular season game in a different season. That part was almost as funny as them saying that Burrows biting a player on the ice is cool but Lucic taunting him for it is not. And calling two hits dirty when the NHL didn't even suspend Chara/Lucic for a single game....hahaha...and opining about Marchand's hit when they have both Ballard and Raymond doing the same things over there to B's players. Thanks for posting that, that made me like the Bruins and dislike the Canucks even more
 
Hmmm, something tells me you're willfully missing the point of the entire video, that being it doesn't matter how dirty the Canucks are, the Bruins CANNOT CLAIM THEY ARE CLEAN.

And don't rely on Sheriff Shanahan's lack of supplemental discipline as proof of a clean play when most polls done showed 70-80% of people thought the hit on Miller deserved more punishment.
