Chicago gets the lockout cup for the summer. Lets start next season off, and hope somebody fucking new wins it, damnit. Summer transactions are up soon, so this should get started fast.
Fuck LA.

PASKIINGSUCKShaha told you I'm fucking computer retarded.
Classic blues man, you can't really go wrong.
b-kulbruins should cruise through the east, won't take the cup though because of no sidenberg or mcquaid. i think anahiem will take it. i also look for columbus to tae the pens down.
DeebieSkeebiesid love to see another pens/flyers bloodbath of a series.
-emile-hahah how to take a screenshot tab

Ski_the_east01what the hell does mcquaid have to do with winning a cup? In case you haven't watched any of the past three months the B's have more than filled in Miller. He is a much more reliable D man, stronger skater, just as physical and eats up way more ice time.
I love mcquaid, he's one of my favorite bruins but he's going to have a hard time finding a roster spot next year - what you typed just looked like a broad generalizing headline snagged off a sports paper that covers bruins hockey once a year.
THEpancakemanThe bruins have the 2nd least goals allowed season and only let up 1 more than the kings so I'm not sure what you are getting at here.

Brettski.He is the shit. I live in calgary but when my family went to disney land we went to a ducks game and he flipped me a puck during warmups. will never forget that
b-kuli agree they have done a great job but who do you want putting up defensive minutes after chara, boychuck, and miller? hamiliton? bartoski? krug? mezzaros? id much rather have mcquaid, especially on the pk. it may be generic but is probably true with the b's system lacking two big d guys is going to hurt them.
the west is much stronger than the east. no one can deny that.

Ski_the_east01Mcqauid is the 8th dman, and he never plays PK so I have no idea what you're talking about...they are only lacking one big d guy in seids
D pairings will be-
chara,hamilton
boychuk, bartkowski
Miller, krug
or Mezz, Krug (secondary)
Mcquaid just does not take any of the spots away. You won't see Mcquaid in the playoffs unless of an injury or the odd decision where claude thinks it's necessary to swap miller for mcquaid which is a downgrade in all aspects
b-kulthis year with no siedenberg pk d pairs will likely be chara, mezzaros and boychuck, miller or some combination of that. idk about you but id rather have mcquaid than mezzaros. if everyone was healthily your right, it wouldn't be a factor. mquaid wouldn't be on the pk. the way I'm looking at it is miller is trying to fill the role of siedenberg (and doing a good job) and they have mezzaros to fill the depth mcquaid provided but mezzaros is not on the same level (look at +/-). so in my estimation the bruins still have a bit of a gap in their d.

Honestly so pumped for the playoffs, i really want the bruins to win their first round so they can meet the habs. So I can make fun of all my bruin fan friends when the habs go on to win the cup.
-emile-where are you from ?

b-kuli thought i remembered chara playing with mezzaros but maybe I'm wrong. anyways if last year is anything to go by claude will be cautious with the young guys and defer to the veterans.
my main point though is the bruins are trying to fill mcquaids spot with mezzaros and i don't think he is the right guy for it.
.frenchyI'm in northwest Connecticut,
-emile-I got season tickets and playoff tickets , I would have asked you if you wanted to go see game 3 cause a friend just backed out haha.
how'd you get into the habs ?
b-kul^^
which would be awesome if siedenberg was healthy. but he's not, so who do you see as filling his spot if not miller?
.frenchyskated on the ice before the game too.

Bar_DownLucky bastard
Ski_the_east01Filling seidenbergs spot? Bartkowski is and has been all season since Seids went down, he's playing great in his role given what he's replacing. You need a lefty to fill in opposite Boychuk so that rules of Miller/Quaid
On related news both Seids and Quaid skated this morning at practice
