***Official 2012 NHL Season + Playoff Thread (ECN/Tim Thomas Appreciation Thread)***

[thegenerel]

It shows how dumb Winnipeg fans are. Ovechkin's been better for most of their careers, but he's had a poor last two seasons, where Crosby can't seem to stay healthy as well.

Two Harts and three Pearson's>>>>>>>>


I'll take Ovechkin as he is now over a Crosby that hasn't been in the line-up often the past few seasons (assuming Crosby is out of the line-up). I'm not sure how those ****gy time Winnipeg fans can make a chant as dumb as that.


Anyways, if the Bruins finish 7th, I'll be fine watching them tap that Senator's ass like they usually do......hopefully.

Crosby did little outside of the Ottawa series.

Team Canada should win every year.


How many Pearson's does Crosby have? How many Hart Trophy's? You know, the awards that are given to the player voted to be the most outstanding and the most valuable in the NHL?

People need to get off Crosby's dick. He hasn't proven he can remain healthy for an extended period of time over the past few seasons, and when he was healthy the previous seasons, guess who was better and voted as the better player? Oh, Alex Ovechkin.

Please go.

Oh, alright then.

[EastCoastNiner]

I don't have anything against Crosby either. He just hasn't had a better career than Ovechkin, nor has he proven enough over the past few seasons while he's been injured.

They're the favorites in the Eastern Conference right now, but I would love for a health Bruins team to get a shot at them.

[EastCoastNiner]

I'm also getting sick and tired of all of the excuses other Bruins fans are making for this team's pathetic performance the last few months.

Fatigue? Really? Fatigue? They had the whole ****ing summer to "rest". I don't buy the entire Stanley Cup hangover and fatigue bull-**** that people like to talk about. Wow, they played an extra month or so than the other top contenders? Boo ****ing hoo. They had all summer to rest and ****. It's no excuse.

The White House visit had nothing to do with it either. They were playing like **** ever since the Dallas game in December.

Injuries? Get the **** out of here with that **** right now. Yes, I think it's hurt the team, but it's not the reason they are playing like ****. They had Horton and Peverley before they were injured, and the team was still sucking.

This team needs a jolt in the arm and they need to wake the **** up and play some great hockey. There's now people on the Bruins board on hfboards saying Bergeron should drop the gloves against the Flyers tomorrow to get the team going?

**** THAT!

Those are more so team accomplishments, unless of course you think Crosby carried Team Canada and Penguins on his back to championships. Not hating on Crosby of course, he's one of the best.

I'm not saying Ovechkin hasn't had a great career, just saying that what separates players like Ovi from players like Crosby is one group finds a way to win championships and the other doesn't (inb4 a miracle happens and the Caps win the Cup). Something in Crosby makes his teammates play better and harder, and consequently win championships. Ovi just doesn't have that, yeah he can win the scoring race or be great in the reg but as everyone has noticed he can't make his team be better in the post season and it shows with the lack of rings he has, and it isn't like the Caps haven't had seasons where they were one of the clear favourites (09-10 anyone?)

edit: No Crosby nuthug, I just appreciate a player like him. Imo if he wasn't a wimp he would be the perfect player *So Close*

Such strong denial. I love it. Because singling yourself out as more important than your whole team could never have a negative effect. Pre and post White House record?



Edit: Brad Marchand looks literally 5ft tall to me in that pic.

And speaking of, the fuq is this? lol

[IsoMaxx]

Man I hate Brad Marchand.

[thegenerel]

Facts are facts.......

Jets fans didnt chant "who won that award 5 years ago"

GP: 67 G: 29 A:24 P:53 +/-: -7

really tough for anyone to put together a better stat line for that.

at least Sid has an explanation for why he isnt scoring.

[IsoMaxx]

Serious question to everyone. Is ECN a legitimate troll, or not? Sorry ECN, no offense.

[TimeToMakeAMove]

Nope he's just a rabid Boston fan, which means nobody else can be right about anything that has to do with our team. It's odd though because usually an educated long time Bruins fan wouldn't teabag Tim Thomas so much because most of us know he's mostly all an act.

[TimeToMakeAMove]

Aaaaand that Philly goal is a great example as to why Thomas sucks. 2 feet deep in your net when the puck is at the point.. strong work.

[nyr469]

will the pens ever lose again? please? lol

letang is +9 thru 5 periods since he returned. absolutely unreal

kris letang and james neal would probably be 2 of my favorite players if they didn't play for the pens (or devils or flyers), shame i have to hate them LOL

[nyr469]

saw this at hf as a quote from james neal

Let’s say a Sunday afternoon in New Jersey, when the only people there are 12 [Devils fans] and Ben Lovejoy’s relatives in their Lovejoy jerseys — that’s one where it’s tough to get up to play Pittsburgh Penguin hockey. That’s one you need to dig down deep and find a way to get up for.

lol

white house visit was not until january 23rd. TT had a 1.76 GAA and .941 save percentage in nov, 1.97 GAA and .946 save percentage in dec. Then in the month of january it jumped to 2.74 GAA and .913 save percentage which the whole month of january occurred before the white house visit.He actually got slightly better, but still not TT-esque, after the white house visit and was 2.36 and .919 in february. March who knows what is going on... 4.06 GAA and only .842 save percentage oh lawd

[JM2412]

Got a point after being down 2...I'll take it.

[FP7]

Fukk me, B's picked Bryz apart in the shootout, ah well, knew that was going to be a B's win when it went to shootout. Good point though^^ better than nothing.

[JM2412]

Devils got out-shot today 44-14.

Fukking lol. Did they even show up?

[pkahnman]

Only up 2 points now

Need a win tonight

[WheyneNewton]

Fukking lol. Did they even show up?

they played like ass today.

would be nice if the refs actually let other teams hit the pens players. Clarkson got the softest roughing penalty ever in the 2nd and Boulton put a big, legit hit on Letang a little less than halfway though the 3rd few minutes later he gets a game misconduct for like no reason. Then the rest of the 4th line got a game misconduct after a whistle. Pens players got nothing.
