Well you have to worry about them 5 teams behind you breathing down you neck a couple of losses for the haws and it could spell trouble.
And ive never wish that on you holmes LOL LOL
FD.....don't you think there is a bit of irony in the statement about the "Hawks haters" given who you are addressing your comments to? Just go to the "other" hockey thread in here and have a look at the most profound Nucks hater who continues to post his "scathing venom" (hahaha) despite the fact the Nucks have been on top of the heap for a LONG time.
As for the Hawks....no doubt they are a good team and like many of the top teams in the West they have gone on a pretty good run (see San Jose) at some point this season; their's being the most recent.
There is no denying they are a good team and are the current reigning Champs; but don't fool yourself into thinking they are the same team they were last year. They are missing some key ingredients between their forward lines which they have not improved on after having to move players and are not as deep as they were. It was no more evident in how they started and played through the first 4 months of the season. One has to only look as far as the goaltending and then you have guys like Ladd, Versteeg, Bafoonlian, Madden, Sopel, Eager; some of those guys some may laugh at as "key parts" but they do represent some of the depth in the team. One of the missing ingredients in the Baffonlian was one of the two key playoffs heroes in their cup run.
So yes.....the Hawks are good and should not be taken lightly as there is no doubt they can score goals and have the guys to do it....I just don't know if the lack of depth, the BIG MAN and the goaltending are going to be enough to carry them through.
As for haters........well.......let me ask you this......despite the dramatically improved play of the Leafs as of late, do you talk good things about them or prefer to bash them? (assuming you are not a Leafs fan)
And as a side note.....FD....I like your comments on both hockey threads as I appreciate the fact that you "get it". I enjoy good hockey talk....have a few very good friends who are HUGE Leaf fans and they talk like they are in upper management....it is hilarious but fun talk to have about all teams over a few beers.
Ya....FD....been a Phillie fan since I was a wee young boy; but since moving to Van 18 years ago I have also taken on cheering for the Canucks. Kind of the hometown thing, but I am pretty passionate about the team and go frickin' crazy with MGMT moves etc.wtf ,
thought you were a B. Street Bully fan pip,
not a Nuck fan , they are definatey alot better ,
Is that the Oilers?i don't have a right to bash them , my team is currently getting ready to sell hot dogs in front of the Roxy in a month , , but , still my boys , as iv'e repeated more than i probabally should ,anyway's ,
I agree with the Hawks bashing in the media....it IS fun 'here' just because of holmes and his innate ability to bring it on himself....ha ha ha.Not really interested in in other the hockey threads , this one caught my eye , the bashing of the hawks , alot of tv and radio personalities that talk outta of there a$$e$ , all predicted the hawks to suck this year ,lol , are you kidding me , you don't need to get into who was there , who is left , yada yada yada , i know buds , but , they are still a dangerous team , I enjoy watching them ,I know most on here on just bustin poor old Holmes's balls , that's awesome , lol
It's fast break out hockey that i really enjoy to watch, they have got one of the best puck moving teams in the league ,few good all BC Boys ta boot ,
there gonna get better , they now have there core team in place , there will alway's be changes to the roster , salary cap is most teams worst enemy , character players come en go ,
Bottom line , they are a gritty , young ,there D top is notch that willonly get better with age , most importantly , they have been to the show , EXPERIENCE !!! you can't replace that.. i guess time will tell how well they do , Do you guy's watch there games ???
now get back to work : )
( oy Yeah , The Leafs Sux Balls )

You should be an analyst Pips ,
More confident than last year.....but still to me he HAS proven himself to a degree in the regular season but he has yet to really do so in the playoffs. There are teams on the road to the cup that ARE going to fire a lot of shots that are going to get through; and Lou needs to be able to step up WITH confidence and play like he has shown he can. The old addage of "he needs to steal a few games" comes to mind and also not let in the loosey goosey early soft goals that he has a tendency to. In playoff hockey ya just can't let that early ****** goal in and expect your team not to be somewhat affected by it.just outta curiosity , how comfortable are you with Luongo , not sure if that is team 1 or 2 or 3 in ur books : )
Hahaha......I was pretty sure that's who it was....but it doesn't hurt to publicly ridicule you once again. Do you know about the Onion Sports Network? It is now on the Comedy Network on Weds at 10pm....total complete fake sports news but it is frickin' hilarious. This was the clip last night about the Oilers.Yup Oilers it Is , you know that , guessing ya just want everyone else to know that one more time , that's fine, ballbust taken firmly : )
Go Oilers Go...
