Detroit Red Wings & the NHL

[Prime2]

Canada -6
Russia -1

Obitchken -0.

Final.

Perhaps Ovie was savin' it for another game 7?

[Prime2]

Canada outscored the world 66-15.

Tournament soldout when Crosby announced he would play.

750K total attendance, new IIHF record.

900K beers sold in Czech Republic, 2 arenas.

[Mike]

Thank you for punking the Putins and keeping the world safe for democracy by winning a tournament that like, 8 people in this country cares about.

[Ghengis Jon]

Would been a different outcome if Putin was on Russia’s #1 line...just ask him.

[Prime2]

Au contraire, mon amis!

This was the best team that Putin and Russia could assemble, period. They had everyone that is anyone in the KHL less 4 deadbeat Russkies left floating in the SCPs.

Only 4 returning players from the Gold Medal Team from Sochi for Team Canada, all new crop of speed demons that held Russia to just 11 shots in the game! (5-1-5)

This was an incredible humiliation for Putin, Malkin, Ovechkin and Kolvalchuck....ultimate poor losers too as they left the ice before the winning national anthem.



Great to see Ovechkin eat it twice in one week!

[Prime2]

Extended highlights, doubt you will see any prettier goals scored on the plant this year!

Tyler Ennis wrap-around goal, speed to Burn! Girouix to Seguin, unreal pass, best goal in the hockey scored this year IMO!

KGB Darth Putin eatin' a big bowl of dick!

I suppose the inside of a Gulag ain't too pretty.....like watching old people *uck, unbearable.

Vladimir was Putin on a show in Sochi this weekend. The Russian president scored eight completely legit, not-at-all-staged, worthy goals against a host of professional hockey players, including former NHL stars Pavel Bure and Valeri Kamensky. Putin's team won 18-6.

[Prime2]

Nice to see the Bolts hang 6 on Lundqvist in a playoff game.

Gotta back Yzerman and Stamkos, GoTampa Bay.

There is some rumor that Buffalo is offering 50 million to Babcock.

[Prime2]

Babcock takes the Toronto job, no terms yet. Buffalo did offer a 50M package, Leafs deal must be similar.

[Prime2]

8 years 50M. Not sure how fixes a franchise that has been broken for 47 years?

[Hannibal]

LMAO at the people who thought he would go to Buffalo. That organization fucking sucks and they have found some way of pissing away every good player that they have had in the past decade. This year's Sabres were the worst team since the lockout with their -113 goal differential.

[Hannibal]

But whatever -- bring on Blashill. Hopefully we'll get some good years out of him.

[Mike]

Jesus couldn't resurrect that mess but he'll get very rich in the process. Can't fault anyone for taking a raise like that. For comparison, Joel Quenville is the highest paid coach in the league this year at $2.75. Babcock's deal will pay him an average of $6.25. So yeah, you take that job if it's in Siberia.

I like the idea of the Wings tapping Blashill from Grand Rapids to replace him. I think the timing was right for a change after 10 years and Blashill made it possible for the Red Wings to not swim in the same pool as Toronto and Buffalo. I think the deal will prove to be a winner for all parties, well not the Leafs, they'll still suck. But it's good for Babcock and the Wings.

[froot loops]

It sounds like the Sabres are pissed, they believe he had an agreement to come there 2 days ago. He kind of did the same thing when he came to Detroit, he ruffled the Ducks feathers as well.
