maz Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Wait, Washington is playing Boston in the WC at Fenway?What a joke.Forgive him because he obviously doesn't know what good hockey is watching the real joke that the Leafs are all these years. He's just in some delusional state thinking someone cares about the Leafs. It's not a joke to have two of the league's top teams face off with the league's best goalie and defenseman on Boston and the league's best player on Washington.Malkin got traded?

thestockholmpig Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Could be any day now that Flames will name brother Brent as the new head coach.http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=282428As a Devils fan, this feels like a kick in the nuts. What a traitor. Oh well, yet another person to boo at games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Its a :censored:ing joke people, relax.)Nope, otherwise he would've won both the Hart and Pearson trophy. And the Pearson is actually to me more important as it's the player's vote, so even Malkin's contemporaries don't think he's as good as Ovie! I'm teasing, Malkin's one hell of a player. I think if he was on another team, he'd get more attention and a serious vote for being the best player, but with Crosby the face of the franchise it hurts Malkin public personna as far as being as good as he is.

Oilers/Habs, Wings/Hawks. Boston should be playing the Rangers, Leafs or Habs..now thats a true winter classic.Yea the Leafs are a joke eh, from your avatar Im assuming your a Kings fan...they've done alot eh? If it wasnt for Gretzky, the average person wouldnt know who the the LA Kings are. beLEAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try reading the post fully before you come in with some stupid remark. But than again that seems tough for you.The NHL wants the Winter Classic to appeal to a slightly larger base than that of the "not quite Original" 6. It's primary concern is to show off its stars and provide a good game. Montreal, Toronto, and the Rangers have less "star power" than Washington, and certainly would not be as competitive as Washington. Sure it's not a "traditional" rivalry, but Boston-Washington could certainly be a playoff preview and would be a very good, hard fought game.

I presume you're still bitter about the 1993 game 7. I don't give a rat's behind about the average person. I don't give a rat's behind whether anyone knows about the team I root for. I root for the team I root for because it is my team. Oh and I've been a fan of the Kings since '84, so I was a Kings fan even before Luc was around.

The casual sports fan know who he is and the NHL is going to have Ovechkin to sell the game. It wouldn't matter if it's Washington, Phoenix (for now), Edmonton or Toronto, if there's a star player, the NHL should promote him the best they can. Besides, the NHL already did the "Original 6" thing in Chicago, where it was probably the ballpark that was the attraction. I saw, I came, I left.
