2009-10 NHL Thread

I <3 yours too.

 

Yay! Post away ... but to get Getzlaf, Jokinen and a few Nicklases ... I think you're in decent shape. You were picking in an almost perfect spot.

 

OK, team name is Don't Toews Me Bro (stolen from an online list, but I loved it too much not to use it). It's a work league, but Zeke's in it because we didn't have 10 people.

Oh, and Zeke offered to pay me if I'd change my team name to The Pearl Nicklases.

 

Can't hang with this squad.

Johnny Pohl is probably going to put you over the top.

 

I couldn't believe he was still available!

 

Don't feed his ego. Team name: Johnny's Golden Pohl.

 

Pearl Nicklasses is goddamn brilliant.

 

HC & I were at the Leafs/Sabres game tonight. Leafs lost 7-6 and blew leads all night.

Toskala, was, well, Toskala.

It's hard to imagine but he was worse than Patrick Lalime at the other end.

Patrick Fucking Lalime is still in the NHL?

 

Respectfully disagree. Nothing beats the Chicago horn (and by extension, Buffalo and Nashville, since they're all basically the same).

 

Somebody's gotta open the gate in Buffalo, it might as well be Lalime, who has played alright in back ups roles. My question is, who will be in the League longer -- Lalime or Toskala? I think I will take Lalime there.

 

First he quits drinking/doing coke, now Fleury quits hockey. What a quitter.

I know I've been harsh on Fleury during his comeback stint, saying his four years of sobriety is a load of crap, and although I have never been a fan of his going back to his actual playing days, I do hope he has found peace in his life and has actually found sobriety for good. Hopefully he does have a long future ahead of him.
