147 pages in the 2010-11 Thread. Here start's next season.

Now the season's over, Boston has the cup for the summer, but it's all up for grabs come autumn. Bump it through the slow summer months as transactions occur

Oh, and to start some tradition: LOL @ Anaheim.


Who's winning the cup next?

I'm not saying there's no bad blood, I'm saying that when there is a more important rivalry your team has with someone else that takes a lot of the steam out of the secondary one. I don't think it's possible for one team to be on that top 5 list more than once and if it were it'd probably be northeastern teams.

Detroit Colorado was rarely about bad blood (Claude Lemieux notwithstanding) and, especially in the later years, more about "Who is the real best team in the league here". A pride thing. Very Sakic-Yzerman.

Yzerman wins btw.

Don't worry. It's a home game for the Sabres. Philly will obviously win this.

6-8-1 record at home. 8-3-0 on the road. WTF?

Here is Porter's knee on David Booth. It earned a major and a game. Many calls for Shanny to look at it. I do not think it will be suspended. However, Joe Sacco not only thinks it shouldn't be suspended, but yelled profusely at the refs and after the game called it a "marginal call". I call him a complete idiot. It's obviously kneeing.

I'd surely say the Sharks hold equal if not greater contempt for the Ducks than they do the Wings...

The Wings probably really don't like San Jose right now, but that's about and for the same reason why San Jose doesn't like Vancouver. Team knocks you out, and you're going to be bitter about some things... (I love how Detroit players were still bitching about the Sharks spraying Jimmy Howard back in August, and how Sharks players were bitching about the Nucks' entitlement complex before the last game haha. Fuck yeah rivalries)

No, I don't. If you're talking about Naslund no one would ever call that guy a power forward.

he left his feet before making contact, you cant do that. agree that 3 games is too much but he deserved something.

Left his feet incidental with the contact. As in, at the same time. That is leaving your feet on the hit, not leaving your feet to make the hit. There is a very important difference.

Giroux with the OT game winner in buffalo on the breakaway. What an exciting game, I think we're just giving every team a 3-0 start just to make it interesting.

What's this business sid isn't playing tonight????

Slewwwwfooooot.


And Giroux with yet another OT winner... At some point you think the Flyer's would realize there's only so many times this guy can get you out of a 0-3 hole in the first..

hey if we keep gettin wins I don't care if we go down 5-0 in the first.

I'd hardly say that was bryz that saved the game though. We came alive in the second.

i agree, but if you watch the avs, you would know that Porter is not a dirty player. I think he was just working a little too hard to slow down Booth.

Porter suspended four games for his kneeing. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=605448 Nice to see them cracking down on plays like that

Shit, just found out that Clutterbuck and Setoguchi are both gonna be missing this game and Setoguchi's gonna be missing at least three games. It's gonna be tough for our offense without them. But we've been able to work our way through injuries so hopefully we can keep it going.

Aaaaaand done.

I'm not sure what to think about the Canucks lately. It's either a good sign that they're good enough to only have to play 20 minutes of a game to win it - i.e. last season's form of finding ways to win more games than they had any right to is back - or it's going to start biting them in the ass soon.

its probably gonna start biting them in the ass soon. just sayin, we were playing better than you guys for a decent amount of time tonight and if you guys were playing against a team that had a better offense/a PP unit that actually makes a difference you wouldve lost. good game though, pretty exciting, good saves and nice speed from both sides. im not even phased by shit like this anymore, giving up leads like that, fuckin typical habs these days

Have any of you ever seen a 5 on 3 power play where the team in advantage gets ZERO SHOTS ON GOAL for a whole 1:55?

Pathetic, Sharks... That shit was worth a firing...

Kopitar is a bitch....brodziak hits him clean he rails the boards and lays on the ground crying like a bitch, while the ref makes the call from the fucking redline and gives him a five minute major and a game....its only cause it was kopitar...



oh well the wild killed the 5 min pp.....and they are just making the nhl their bitch.

Kopitar makes all those "Crosby is a crybaby" retards from the east look like total idiots as far as where they direct their hatred...

Kopitar has always been like that, regardless of how talented of a player he can be most of the time.

...and, continue making the Kings your bitch.. Thanks.
