Well, no surprise he doesn't want to relocate the Coyotes, it looks terrible on the league to have teams moving to new markets too often, even worse when emotions are being toyed with like they are with the fans in Phoenix. In all honesty, the league should probably contract by a couple of clubs, improve the quality of the league, as well as reduce the owners whinging about revenue sharing - but that's never going to happen.
I'd like to see a team back in Quebec City, we all know what a hockey hotbed Quebec is in general, and I'm sure it will happen eventually. Great culture there, I used to love traveling to Quebec for tournaments.
Bettman's pretty unlikeable for a lot of reasons... and yes, you are biased. But a team in Quebec, and a second team in the T.O. market would seem to make quite a bit of sense. Patience, brother
Coyotes may relocate before the playoffs, many signs point to that.
Pfffft... lately? Try over 20 years ago? Have you really been inside that long?
Yeah, both of the goalies are young, there will be an occasional blip, and softies are a killer; but without Tuukka, tonight's game wouldn't have been close. Ugly effort from the B's. He really did make a couple phenomenal stops.
Looch is killing me. One of my favourites, but he came in out of shape, and Horty's not back to pre-concussion form; that line has not been very good at all this year. At least Vuci has made the difference at times, Looch has got like 5 goals this year! Will be making 6M next year, crazy money, that production has gotta change in a big way!
Jagr is soo good, bud. Great pickup, he'll be very important in the playoffs (might re-sign, too?).
The power-play has been a problem - ever since we lost Savvy. Not been a strength of the coaching staff, but luckily the B's are very good 5 on 5 and shorthanded - pretty much the best, really. Still, the team won't be able to win 2 cups in 3 years with a terrible PP - they need to get that going. Hamilton will help in the future, and as Seggy continues to develop, his PP production will go up as well.
The real question should be why did Halpern seem to like it so much? Actually, that's not much of a question, is it, he does plays for Montreal after all.
Grew up in Kingston, bud, played a decent amount of hockey in your province and went for fun excursions to many of your classy bars I wouldn't hold your breath on that relocation thing (although I haven't been following it lately, but with deals of this sort there are typically lots of delays/extensions; so many moving parts).
Let me preface this by saying that you seem like a real good guy, Mark.
The wheel is funny, because it reminds me that the MTL fan-base generally consists of a bunch of butt-hurt pussies, who think that hockey should be played with the level of contact seen in European footy. Honestly, they have for years. Whine, whine, whine, about the contact, and embellish damn near everything. Then afterwards, the fans are sore at seeing their diminutive team physically dominated, and they play the "I know you are, but what am I," card. That's the wheel, and I truly find it hilarious in that sense - it really is just so familiar. I'm lucky enough to have a couple good friends who are Montreal fans, and even they will directly admit as much.
But making light of the concussion situation? I don't like that, not at all. Frankly, Bergeron has 50 times more class than any player on your team (maybe more class than any Montreal Canadiens player during your lifetime, only guy I can think of off the cuff who's close is Koivu), and he will literally be making a potentially life altering decision by returning from this one. I mean, he's skating today, but this is his 4th, including that grade 3 shot that nearly ruined him. He's a wonderful guy, and he's walking a really, really fine line moving forward.
Anyway, it's absolutely classless to make fun of serious injuries... so boo to you... and that's the end of my little story.

Ohhh, how I hope your precious Shero gave up all those picks for nothing!

For each 10 good saves he is making 1 error that cost Boston a lot! Rask has .929 while Khudobin has .924, but Khudobin has made some childish mistakes too, i hope to see improvments from Rask in the playoff!
Lucic is absolutely dead material atm, he remind me fucking Vucinic sometime with his lazyass perfomance
While Jagr is so good 
He will help a lot in the playoffs, his line just have to fix the chemistry with him, he created some amazing opportunities to score tonite but his partners are failed to score
And another big problem for Boston is % of power play goals 'cause s not horrible, it's a fucking disaster, only 16 goals in 103 opportunites, damn it

I'm not saying the guy should die or something. It was a dirty hit and nobody should be on the end of those. This was just a reply to another Habs fan. We've had some classy players Rollie don't worry. You guys too, can,t beat Jean Beliveau and Bobby Orr are tough to beat.
no I even have Sergio against me here.
I guess I'll stop posting here then.
Was nice talking hockey with ya'll!

I think it's just a misunderstanding folks, do not get worked up. I shouldn't have posted that picture in the first place as it clearly initiated it, that is on me.
Yep, I shouldn't have expectations, but I can't help but hope.

It's not your fault dude! You posted a funny pic and I replied on what the excuse is. I've talked to B fans and read their boards and they seem to think the injuries are not helping them and I agree. If I'll get criticized for that then I don't feel like posting in here anymore now that even Habs fans can't stand me. I didn't post I was happy Marchand got injured. I read on many boards that people were happy Emelin got injured but didn't bother replying since I was used to these posts from both parties.
What happened here?
Well I'm glad you're not saying my Bruins should die The Marchy hit was filthy, but the Bergeron incident was really just unfortunate; it didn't look like much at all, if you watch it on tape.
"just a reply to another Habs fan" ....? Oh, Cmon...
Beliveau was a classy guy, that is certainly true.
I like my PC just fine, Ithankyouverymuch. Chiarelli has done a great job. 
But I do have a ton of respect for your guy. If I had to pick another guy for my guys it'd be your guy.
Honestly bud, don't worry about the wheel. I grew up playing hockey and football, I grew up in locker rooms; there is plenty of shit talking that goes on, and it's a hell of a lot worse than the wheel - don't worry about that. Of course, if someone says something that you really don't like, it typically gets settled physically. Ever played 'Helmets and Gloves'? I don't recommend that shit, you're too old for that.
Anyway, one could change the logo to any team (I have no photoshop skills), and it's one of those cheap, easy jokes that people can get a laugh out of.
Provided it's not being spammed, I don't really care. But more often than not, you'll get some sort of response.
Bro, don't be like that. Don't go away. Habs fans still like you, and I said you were a good guy, plus I threw in the smilies, dammit!
Of course the B's fans think the injuries aren't helping our team! It would be like me saying, 'man, I bet those 400 and whatever lost games to injury last year might have contributed to Montreal finishing 3rd last in the league. But that's what injuries are: obstacles to overcome.
I care about Marchy's health, but I'm really worried about Patrice, hence me calling you a classless tosser. I KEED!
Anytime someone is making light of a situation that involves Bergy, I'm going to get extra ornery. This is my favourite player we're talking about, he's the B's lynchpin, the quintessential leader, and he's been through a lot; even with a Selke, and Championships won at every level of hockey, many people don't understand just how good he is, or how important he is to Boston. His character, his attention to detail, that work ethic... basically impeccable; he's the ultimate teammate, they all love him. I love him... and I'm pretty worried about him, although it's good to hear he'll be traveling with the team this weekend.
As for the talking shit about injured players/people being happy about Emelin, etc., well clearly this board has more class than that
I'll still be your soft gentle Bruin, baby... but there's no way Nzzy knows what an offside is, let's not get carried away.
I agree, Andy should come back, although it's unusually tough day's for his boys right now. I think they can sneak in, though, keep that streak alive!

Wait now I have to read all of this?
You guys know I love you all except for when you trash my Habs or threatened to support another club. Then the ban from thread option will be utilized.
Bergeron's only negative side is that he was a Nords fan and now plays for the Bruins. Just give him the Selke already.
We'll take the Norris, Jack Adams, Hart, Vezina, Calder, best GM and Bill Masterton.

Never played Helmets and Gloves, but I know what that is. I didn't think posting the wheel is offensive, it is just for laughs and I didn't mean otherwise; but if it's spammed that becomes a bait tho. I find that silly to discuss and... I might post it regardless from now on anyway
