The official hockey thread

[bright lights, big city]

Well, I'm officially in the "fuck this sport" school of thought these days. At least it's an ethos.

[Crazylegs]

The lockout is just too lame!

[Crazylegs]

Does anyone here know how to bypass regional locks on, say, nhl.com for the streaming of wjc games. I really want to see canada vs usa tomorrow, but i'm not allowed with my foreign ass ip.

thanks buddy!

Canada better stop taking so many stupid penalties.

[bright lights, big city]

the NHL's coming back. fuck em.

[Crazylegs]

will there be playoffs with such a short season? What was the situation last time?

[bright lights, big city]

Yeah the finals will go through the end of June. Really wish Bettman's resignation was part of this deal, but I shouldn't really care. I feel like a big man saying no to hockey and boycotting the NHL this season.

[Crazylegs]

fight the power buddy! I won't be able to stay away, but i'll make sure to stream all the games ilegally.

[Corleone]

I would boycott if I didn't love it so much, football is over soon too.

[bright lights, big city]

but basketball!!!!

seriously, they should offer their NHL Center Ice package for free to anyone with cable. that would help heal these wounds.

[bright lights, big city]

So about this boycott I was going to be on... it lasted about 5 minutes. I had to watch my 2 favorite team Opening Day (Hawks, Kings) and the Kings raise their banner. Was hoping Bettman would make an appearance and get mugged, but whatever.

It also helps that the Hawks are much better than I was expecting - still haven't had a loss in regulation through 10 games.

[Crazylegs]

It's just too great a sport to stay away.

[bright lights, big city]

Totally man. Same thing with the NBA last year. Shortened, marathon-like seasons are awesome. Both sports should go from 82 to about 50 games.

[Crazylegs]

OOF what a blow for the sens losing Karlsson for the remainder of the season to injury.

[bright lights, big city]

on purpose?


Erik Karlsson is injured by Matt Cooke's skate. Feb 13th 2013


Cooke is a repeat offender...

[Crazylegs]

yeah, i thought so.

[rxjustine]

Cooke is a repeat offender...

This comes to mind...
