Battra Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 It's being reported that Ken Hitchcock will be making his return to Dallas. May the gods be kind to the rest of us. Mark mah words, Big D goes to the playoffs next year. In the Central Division, things are only getting tougher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd be stupid not to make a move for a legit goalie though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Hitchcock turned Brian Elliott into an elite goaltender. Nuff said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylekrische Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 That was on a team though where Shattenkirk was a 2nd pairing defenceman. Dallas has fucking no one on the back end. Lehtonen and Niemi are so bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 When it came to his own zone, Shatty wasn't ever captain awesome. And Hitchcock's defense is a five man unit, not a 2 man. He's going to find a hungry Dallas team ready to start winning again. Then players will start buying into his system, which works or they'll be shipped out. Dallas makes the playoffs next year. No question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried for over an hour to sign up. I think NHL.com's servers were down because I just couldn't get in the bracket in time. I was trying to sign up about an hour before the 7:00 games started so maybe their servers couldn't handle all of the traffic. There is always next year.

Battra Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I thought I took enough steps to ensure that the Blues playoff game would not go into overtime. It turns out, I was wrong. Oh well. At least we got the W! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylekrische Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 damn if only the Habs had a smooth skating defenceman who could get the puck out of the zone and activate the offense. oh well. parkinglot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, looks like a really bad trade, even more so for the years to come. And to think that some people thought that Beaulieu made PK expendable. Also, screw Pacioretty for once again disappearing when it matters the most. Best captain ever! And finally, I picked to Habs and the Wild to go to the Finals in the bracket, so that makes me the biggest idiot I guess.

Sidney Crosley Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Was too bad the Leafs lost, but they put up a helluva fight. The fact that they lost 3 of 4 games in OT, and shots, goals, chances, were pretty close to even, says a lot. I don't think anyone is embarrassed at their showing, and hopefully means good things going forward. Also, it was insane/hilarious how literally everyone abandoned the Jays and Raptors for the Leafs. Went from last year not being able to get Jays tickets for under $40, to $6 lower bowl tickets to games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battra Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Last night in St. Louis was not what I was hoping for. Side note, one of the two refs, Francois St. Laurent, he and I were drunk together in a bar in Peoria, IL in 2006 when he was still an AHL ref, the next year, he made it to the tweener list, then after that he became a full timer. So, there's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battra Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I saw someone try to convince me that Bortuzzo should've been called for boarding on that hit... <head desk> It was a big hit that resulted in an unfortunate injury, nothing more. God speed to Fiala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgry Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Ducks vs Oilers game is insane. Amazing comeback. I was falling asleep until the Ducks scored the second goal. Can't wait for OT no matter who wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
