The NHL (Hockey) Thread: 2015 - 2016 (Let's see how Kessel does on a real team)

General Discussion
321

Congrats to the Pens on winning the Cup again. Crosby gets his second, Kessel proves the doubters wrong, Murray stepped up in net, and the Sharks remain the Sharks. I feel bad for Marleau, though. He’s come so close after all these years, but gets that Geese treatment from Sid & co.

Over/under the chances Marleau abandons ship and goes to the Leafs in July?

Edit: Sid won the Conn Smythe for essentially doing nothing. It should’ve went to Murray or Letang. Now to watch Kings fans be shitty until October…

322

Can’t blame the sharks for trying, but the nerves struck that team hard!

Funny though, the penguins tried to choke the game away but the sharks were the sharks on the end.

The Stanley Cup is the best goddamn trophy in the world.

325

Any particular reason as to why Gery Bettman gets booed…

326

Bettman is to the NHL what Goodell is to the NFL.

EDIT: Yes i’m enjoying this a bit too much. Rivalry and all that i’m sure you understand lol

328

I understand, it’s not unlike the vast jubilation I feel when the Rangers perform their annual chokejob while grossly overpaying forwards that are over the hill or overrated (Nash).

329

It was still a good series, a MUCH better one than the NBA finals!

Sucks that hockey’s over till around October…

330

One thing is for sure, Pittsburgh and Chicago are in for a bad time come July. Hard salary cap is a BITCH.

331

sad the sharks lost butttttt…

that crying jordan of the shark has me dying

332

It’s been hard enough already since 2010. Last year the Hawks lost: Oduya, Sharp, and Saad to name a few.

There’s already a chance they lose Teravinen too

They do need better defensemen because Duncan Keith can’t play the bulk of the minutes forever

333

So that’s what it would be like watching the current Oiler team in the finals.

334

Looks like hockey is going to Sin City.

335

As a Devils fan, I’m hype about us getting Savard, but I can’t help but think that this is his last ride before he retires. Also that this is gonna be his first season back since 2011 makes me nervous.

BTW, here’s a list of some of the UFAs confirmed for July 1. A Ladd-Elias-Henrique scoring line would be DOPE.

336

Yo homeboys, should I start a new thread?

337

When the new pre-season starts…sure.

338

So draft talk and off-season talk is still a part of the 2015-2016 season?

339

If you want to start a new thread after the draft…go ahead.

340

It’s official. Las Vegas is the new franchise.
