NHL Thread

And he's just so damn happy to be back in the NHL, it's really amazing. Apparently he was in tears of joy. I've always wondered why he left, maybe it was depression or something. It's just such a great story. And he's actually good too haha.

[Frag]

Do we wanna start the entry level deal though?

 

Although that defense is kind of amazing. Could still use a stud to go with Phaneuf but excellent.

 

You underestimate the value of Franson.

[GD]

You underestimate the value of Franson.

 

Probably, but who's to say he sticks around with the cap situation Nonis has gotten himself into?

 

If you can't tell, I'm a wee bit pessimistic lol.

[Frag]

so there was an article on sportsnet about match fixing in basketball in the early 80's because NBA

 

and one of the comments

 

"At some point in the future, details of how Jeremy Jacobs, Gary Bettman, and Colin Campbell fixed the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs will come out as well. They can't hide forever."

 

I love sportsnet's comments section lol

[wilko]

I wonder if Mason Raymond will make the team..

He will.

JVR baby, vs his former team! Beauty snipe

 

Met him a few days ago at an EA event, pretty cool

[havok24]

I f***ing hate Tyler Bozak. How the f*** did that guy even get a 5 year contract? My god Nonis is a moron.

Faceoffz doe

[G-Snarls]

Nice, you think he returns to form?

 

Tim Thomas is the R. A. Dickey of hockey

[GD]

If Franson gets traded, what do you guys think he gets traded for? I'm assuming young FW but can't really think of any plausible fits. Maybe Couterier?

[Tuco]

I wouldnt trade Franson unless were getting back some sweetheart deal.

Not only is he a youngish effective player but hes the only RH blueliner we currently have and the prospect pool is loaded with left shots like Rielly, Finn, Percy etc. Having a D core of 6 left handed shooters is a dangerous game to play with so many guys having to play their offside.

[GD]

So just in case anyone was in doubt, I'm going to reiterate that HFboards is the worst message board on the internet. I just got banned for saying it's stupid to call Tim Thomas' PTO a bad move for Florida.

 

Hahahahaha HFBoards is amazing

[Dylan]

Well that didn't look good for Kadri.. possible broken finger, hand? FFS

Just a bruise. Don't worry lol.

I f***ing hate that site. It seems like every single active poster posts with a "team logo" on their sleeve. So much bias and not much in the way of rational thought.

holy f***ing s*** Nonis let's go

[havok24]

If the Leafs weren't still retaining Tucker, Armstrong, Frattin, and Scrivens on their cap they could afford him. What an awful organization.

 

Oh my god. If Franson goes to Europe because of Nonis and his stupidity, I'll be livid. What a f***ing joke.

Holy f***. That's not okay.

 

This is utter madness.

[havok24]

Randy Carlyle system: Pray James Reimer stops everything.

[havok24]

That's not on Nonis, but if Raymond and Franson don't make this club, it's inexcusable, did you hear Liewiskie's face punching son-in-law might make opening night? LOL.....that's egregious and indefensible. The Buds have guys to move to make the cap.

 

Yeah. Tucker = Cliff Fletcher and Armstrong = Burke. However, signing two non-core players like Clarkson and Bozak to big money deals while two key impact players like Kadri and Franson needed new contracts is stupid. The way the F.O. has managed the cap situation this summer has been nothing short of atrocious.

That was actually kinda sick.

The fact that it hit Enroth's mask was both hilarious and sick.

Holy f***ing s***, huge brawl in the Leafs/Sabres game.

 

-Scott said something to Kessel

-Kessel said something back

-Scott threw off his gloves

-Kessel skated back a bit and took a few swings at Scott's skates

-Devane f***ing killed a guy

-Patty Kaleta managed to stay out of it I think

-Clarkson's out there

-HOLY s*** JONATHAN BERNIER JUST KICKED RYAN MILLER'S ASS GOALIE FIGHT

-Kessel's going to the dressing room

-Clarkson and Brennan are now leaving as well

 

holy s***, that was amazing. Jonathan Bernier is f***ing badass. Potvin would be proud. He had a little bit of Potvin vs Hextall and a bit of Clark vs McSorely in there.

 

E: Bozak and Ashton both went after Scott, gotta give 'em credit. Our best players have been tough tonight as opposed to the face punchers (save Devane), love it.

[GD]

This doesn't feel like preseason. Love it.
