The 2010-2011 NHL Thread: Race for the Playoffs!

[enterthemadness]

I may be American, but I hope the Canadian teams go on a 10 years tear of winning the Stanley cup...beginning now. Why? Hockey is the national sport up there.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I ****ing love Alfie. What's wrong with you

Goddamn it. Which STATE?

Shut up, you Norwegian spy. We're on to you.

 

[Assassin]

****ing 3rd string goalie. are you ****ing kidding me? son of a *****.

 

[Gotham Knight]

I live in the United States.

 

[Alex The Great]

I bet you live in the freak states. Like Hawaii or Alaska

 

[enterthemadness]

Holy crap....A Canadian team is overall number 1 in NHL? And it's the Vancouver Canucks?! Sportscenter is not pleased...but....the Canadian version is.

 

[Alex The Great]

Meh, we're okay with it. A lot of us hate the Canucks because of their fans. They're like the Leafs of the West except they're actually good.

Does Canada love the Montreal team? I know that's a English-French Province they play in.

The rest of Canada hates Canuck fans because as Vancouverites, we're the only Canadians who can touch their toes or walk three city blocks without passing out from drunkenness or exhaustion.

The Habs have had so much success and they have so much history, there's plenty that hate them, but it's not because of the Quebec thing. The Leafs are the most hated team in Canada. This is a scientific fact

Don't forget Montrealers. They're hardened drinkers

Lots of Hab fans across the country. Most Canadians usually support whatever Canadian teams are in the playoffs or the last Canadian team remaining. There will still be people who hate the Canucks if they make it to the Finals but they're just a small minority.

 

[Microchip]

Canadians usually support the Habs in the playoffs until their fans destroy their own city in a drunken riot whether they make it to the next round or not. That's when everyone just gets disgusted and hopes they lose and go away.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Habs fans will riot and destroy their city over a pre-season game.

 

[Hush]

I know My Blues aren't in the playoffs but god damn that was ****ing awesome last night. Anytime we beat The Wings is good but ecspecially in The Joe and Ecspecially 10-3. Detroit better figure out its goaltending before the playoffs i don't care what you say a 7 goal defecit is bad. I mean Cam ****ing Janssen scored. Good stuff.

It's funny because it's true. t:

I was watching highlights last night and I seen some from the game. 10-3 is quite the beating, especially for Detroit.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

so it's not enough that they're the defending Olympic Gold medalists and that Canadians make up the majority of every team in the league?

 

[Alex The Great]

And that the Canadian Teams are probably keeping the NHL afloat financially

MOVE THE YOTES TO WINNIPEG ALREADY DAMN IT

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

And that the Canadian Teams are probably keeping the NHL afloat financially

 

[Alex The Great]

I said probably. The Leafs and Habs probably make more money than half of the sun belt teams.

 

[Microchip]

Nah 6 teams aren't making more than 24 teams. In fact there are 5 Canadian, 5 American teams that have sold out every game this year. Interestingly, the NBA only has 6 teams that have sold out every game thus far.

 

[Hush]

Yeah if Detroit has any hopes in the Playoffs they need to get a few key players healthy and look at how that beating happened last night. I mean Goaltending is a serious issue it seems to me and this is coming from a guy who has watched Goaltending be crappy all year.

 

[Microchip]

When do Osgood and Howard come back?

 

[Paroxysm]

#1 in league, #1 PP, #1 PK, #1 GF, #1 GA, #1 point getter, this has been an amazing year for the Canucks and considering all these numbers has to rank as one of the best by any team since expansion. Let's hope we turn this into a great playoff run!

 

[Pink Ranger]

I don't know, brother. The building process of this team has been so long, with a couple of false starts, that I would feel let down if they weren't sipping from the Cup at the end of the playoffs. A strong playoff run but eventual exit, I would feel disappointed.
