The World's Worst Game: Curry or Covid


on: August 24, 2017, 08:40:29 AM

So, rookie camps are set to go pretty soon, which means we're fairly close to having hockey again.

Also, just got the email that Yahoo is doing fantasy hockey again this year - any takers?

Haha yeah I saw that email and started thinking about my draft strategy in my league with friends.

Would be down for a F13 league too.

I am thinking I need to sub to Center Ice this year, so playing fantasy hockey would make that even better. In.

Also, it would be nice to watch some competent players instead of the dregs the Canucks are icing these days  Heartbreak

Vegas is looking pretty good to start the year.  Nice to see Fleury kicking ass.

Vegas actually has a not awful team, unlike past expansion teams.  If Fleury can play like he use to then they'll be good in goal.  Their defence is OK, not spectacular but not horrible, either.  The real concern was always on scoring.  There's just not much there.  I'm happy Calgary looks like they may be living up to expectations.  Mike Smith has been good so far and they finally beat the Ducks in Anaheim for the first time since like 2004. ACK!

A 36 year old emergency back up goalie had to play 14 mins in a game for Chicago last night.  He made some nice saves while allowing no goals and helping his team to a 6-2 win and some awarded the game's first star.  I love stories like this.  Only in hockey can something like this happen.

The Sedin Twins have announced they are retiring at the end of the season. Final home game against Arizona just went from a half full building to sellout with nosebleed tickets going for $200+ over night.

For you non-hockey fans: these identical twin brothers played their entire 18 year career in Vancouver.

World Championship Gold
Olympic Gold
An MVP award, two Scoring Titles (one each, back to back years) and an Outstanding Player award between them.
Both scored over 1000 points in their careers, playing almost entirely together on the same line.

The only brother tandem they trail in lifetime scoring in the NHL would be the Gretzkys.

Just thought I'd share.

I am on the GK bandwagon until the Canucks unfuck themselves enough to make the playoffs, or until Seattle's team gets going.

I'd like to see a Vegas/Winnipeg Western final.  Sadly, I think the Bruins are going to win the east and make it to the Cup final but at least that means the Leafs will be gone early. Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

Pittsburgh/Vegas cup final is my ideal matchup, however unlikely that is.  My gut is that this is Nashville's year, though.

Ew no fucking thanks @ Pitt or Boston ever being in another final in my lifetime.

Ideally East Final is Tampa Bay vs Blue Jackets somehow. Since Devils clearly aren't going to put up any fight.

As for the west, once both LA teams are gone whoever is playing entertaining hockey is ok with me. I'll be pulling for the local Sharks but I don't hate any of the other franchises. I guess I don't want the Jets to actually win bc lol Canada. The Wild are a bit boring most years idk about this one bc i barely touch reg season hockey anymore. So I'll take Nashville from the top vs Sharks or Vegas pls.

I hope not.  As much as I despise the Bruins, I hate the Leafs even more.  I hope they play 20 periods of OT in game 7. Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

I have a theory that the Bruins are engaged in a decade long troll of Maple Leaf fans. 

'Oh we got this!'

'Oh whoops we lost a game'

'Oh whoops we let this get to game 7'

'Oh whoops we let you have the lead'

'HAHAHAHAH NOPE. SUCK IT LEAFS'

And the Canucks get fucked again in the draft lottery, though not nearly as bad as last year.

Sure glad they went 6-1-2 down the stretch to fuck their lottery chances.   Ohhhhh, I see.

Seattle's team can't come fast enough. It is a really depressing time to be a Canucks fan. And that is saying something!

So the Stanley Cup winner is going to be either Caps, Lightning, Knights or Jets/Preds.

Can't hate it. Trying to pick who I root for.

Knights, I'm sorry, you're out, you are not pulling a Florida Marlins here.

Lightning, you've won a Cup, sorry you're out.

Preds, you let the godamn Penguins win another Cup, plus it's Nashville, sorry you're out.

Jets, Oh Canada? Go Winnipeg.

Caps, Ovi's first cup? DC's first cup? THERE'S AN AUSTRALIAN ON THE TEAM?? Fuck yeah go Caps!

I'd be fine with it, but for whatever reason they don't really excite me - too far west, perhaps.

You know if Washington wins, Ovechkin is going to hand deliver the Cup straight to Putin for a nice photo op.  So fuck the Caps.  Of course, if the Jets win I'll have to see Trudeau and his smiling, punchable face with it.  Go Caps!

Hockey fans are the best. I work with a guy from upstate new york and who never wants a Canadian team to win the cup cause 'Fuck Canada'..Ginaz is Canadian (right?) and would rather the Russians win over another Canadian team.   why so serious? why so serious? why so serious?

Meanwhile, a DC bartender I know who is from Tampa has been getting real salty on Facebook.  Someone recommended she start pouring White Ovechkins, which are White Russians that you pour directly onto the customer's head because Ovechkin doesn't have a cup.
