2009-2010 NHL Season

[HedleyLamarr]

Anything on Oystrick besides his AHL stats?

He was in the lineup so infrequently here that I can't give you much of a scouting report. He has potential, but was the odd-man out between the established veterans on the NHL roster and the younger, more promising corp of defensemen the Thrashers have in the AHL.

Artyukhin traded? Call me shocked. Okay, I'm not. I never understood why the Ducks acquired this no-talent of a player and am not shocked that he got shipped off to Atlanta for a nobody of a player. I doubt we will see Artyukhin next year as he has no hockey intelligence and his skill is limited to skating down the wing and getting a lucky goal. This is one of the worst hockey players I've seen in my 20 years of watching hockey. Everytime I turned on a Ducks game, he seemed to be in the box for a hooking or holding penalty. I've never seen someone take so many stupid offensive zone penalties as this joke did. The Ducks are better off without him and I wouldn't be shocked if the Ducks' GM asked the Atlanta GM for a "My crap for your crap" trade and was told by the Atlanta GM, "I haven't taken my morning dump yet, but I'll gladly throw in this bad young player for your really bad player who we can scratch 90% of the time."

This could refer to anyone on the Ducks.

Yup, you're right.

Every player on the Ducks is a penalty mongering goon.

Like that Teemu Selanne guy? Wow he's a jerk. Scott Niedermayer? Some captain he is. Bobby Ryan? Pure goonery...

I could go on, but why waste time on such angry neanderthalic brutes and savages

Creative toilet humor.

Nevermind.

Bruins black third jersey being worn tonight against Montreal. I'm guessing, just basedon observation, that the WC jerseys are being worn for Saturdaymatinees as those have been the games where the B's have worn them.

I really wish they would get rid of these, they are dull, don't utilize the yellow socks, usually suck while wearing them (minus so far tonight). All in all they're not really serving much purpose except pushing those WC uniforms back further in the closet.

The Rangers open up the playoff push with a nice 4-1 win over the Sens at Scotiabank place...without Gaborik.

Nice win boys.

[Cujo]

So there was a trade deadline today... No deals worth mentioning at all.

[Still MIGHTY]

So there was a trade deadline today... No deals worth mentioning at all.

Check the Part 2 thread. All over the place.

[HedleyLamarr]

Why are there two NHL season threads, anyway? Can't they be combined?

[NEW.ERA]

Why are there two NHL season threads, anyway? Can't they be combined?

I thought one of them would be put in graveyard, but the second one picked up popularity with the trade deadline.

What's the purpose of two-part season thread?...

I'm with Hedley, just merge the two.

What I find more disgusting is how I picked the Ducks to win the West and the Stanley Cup.

And 3 of the 4 picked Colorado 14th. The other picked them to finish 13th.

[NEW.ERA]

Colorado has been sucking wind most of this season riding the back of Craig Anderson I knew he was good but not this good.

If they do end up making it. Chicago will make quick work of them but they've been the most resilient teams in the NHL this season so I don't know anymore.

But let's kill this thread again
