NHL '11/'12 Thread

Anyone think it could possibly work in Halifax?

There's too much hockey in Canada for them to want to support an NHL club, especially in a place the size of Halifax. 2 cents. That is the problem in MN and why they have tended to have problems in the past like North Stars attendance - they have so much hockey on the youth and college level.

Doesn't Halifax have an AHL team?

John Buccigross thinks it's unthinkable that Minnesota has not held a Winter Classic yet:

Anyone think it could possibly work in Halifax?

Absolutely not. Nova Scotia is smaller than Saskatchewan population and economy wise, and Halifax itself is simply too small. Winnipeg/Quebec/Hamilton are more than double the size and people are wondering if they can successfuly keep a team in the long run. Cities like Halifax and Saskatoon are just too small.

Doesn't Halifax have an AHL team?

No, that's St. John's. Halifax has a minor team named after a beer company.

Halifax Colt 45's.

I thought it was Halifax Schlitz.

Chances are they will probably have the next Winter Classic in New York, probably Yankee Stadium or something like that.

Stay classy, Winnipeg.

"I think it's ridiculous that when u leave at the end of the second period to take a piss and come back in the middle of the third," wrote one signatory.

Ya. He's not exaggerating at all.

Also, people pee in public?

I guess it's a design problem with MTS. Obviously the builders didn't expect there to be sell-outs every night and didn't build adequate bathrooms. :tongue:

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

Four pissers per bathroom at the MTS? The X has something like 12. The MTS Centre is simply an insufficient arena for an NHL club:

Anyone watch the new season of 24/7 Flyers vs. Rangers? Bryzgalafh and his deep thoughts and taking like a Eastern European stoner are must watch tv, it was even better when the Bruins treated him like a their prison bitch by shutting them out 6-0 can't to wait to watch the next episode tomorrow.

It was pretty funny. I've only seen his take on the universe though. Priceless.

Man this thread sux without the Bolt Boys and rod around anymore. Phuck.

Eh Plasma, you check out that one thing I told you about? (Maybe through PM you tell me though so you don't lose your tenure and me get hell banned). But I have to say those fuckers are crazed about the 'Nucks. The Wild sucked 12 inch penis the other night; worst game of the year for the Wild, for sure.

I think they will finish in the top three in the West but they could totally crumble at any point TBH. Seriously though, look at their lineup and it's a joke. Half the damn team should be in the AHL if they were on a number of elite teams. Yeo is COTY for sure, without any discussion. To have the "talent" he has and to have led the league up until this point is incredible.

My favorite player day by day has to be Jared Spurgeon even though the Wild clan at that one thing put him on blast all the time. I don't know why. He is the most brilliant little d-man I can recall in some time.

1. Yeah, where the fuck did those guys go? I saw Mauser posting on the Board but I guess he doesn't like us anymore.

2. Yeah, I took a look. Everyone there seems like a turd. Educated turds.

3. I think when you look at what the Panthers have, Kevin Dineen is by far coach of the year.

I was on that thing last night watching the game and it literally would switch pages in a minute with all the comments. The traffic at that place is insane, but you are right, everyone there thinks they know everything about the game. rod has probably been kickin' it over there with all the Oilers' Boys.

I use another forum for hockey most of the time. I go there, read up a bit, then come here, or vice versa.

Yeah what the hell was he smoking, I'd like to try some of what he's having

No problems, my friend. Youtube is the answers to all our fears:

Another cool part of 24/7 is when Jeff Hartnell called Matt Cooke the dirtiest player in the league, hello pot this is kettle.
