IF ILYA BRYZGALOV IS SO GREAT WHY HAS HE BEEN ON FOUR TEAMS IN TEN YEARS: THE NHL 2011-2012 THREAD (INCLUDING VANCOUVER RECONSTRUCTION, BOSTON HANGOVER AND OFFSEASON SHENANIGANS. HOCKEY IS THE BEST)

hubris

fair enough
i'd srsly consider taking a couple days off work for a game (live in sf) but i'm not enough of a fan of scalpers and esp their $400 tix. that comment stuck in my craw and seemed a little bit odd 'cuz the Devils have kinda dominated the R's as far as forecheckingways throughout the series anycares.

you are not incorrect, but. it's okay for *me* to say that, as a non-kings fan, but not you staring at 45 years of futility.

i suppose i'll root for the kings over either the devils or rangers, but the presence of mike richards bugs me. fuck that guy.

if the devils beat the rangers, i hope marty gets tix for roy.

Henrique vanquishes the ghosts of matteau and messier. I may be biased but the better team-by far-won. That power play goal by kovalchuk was one of the most beautiful things I've seen in my lifetime of watching sports.

SUCK IT TORTS!

Torts is one of the all time douchebags

Keep chewing

I just re read this entire thred it's been so magical it can only end in tragedy

Wings schedule presser tomorrow w/ Ken Holland and Nick Lidstrom -- could this be the end?

I wouldn't be surprised...

apparently so

doc: 'here's [random king] hoping for carter . . . but we all have hopes, don't we?'

KOPITAR

Parise probably had nightmares about the 1001 chances he had to end that game last night. And who was that impostor in the Kovalchuk sweater?

oh shii

what a strange ot goal. the red sea parted for a little flutter shot.....

that's what most OT goals look like iirc

except for anze's

the Kings haven't had a goalie since Hrudey moved to San Jose, and even before that it was questionable.

well i think that will about do it

15-2 in the playoffs (as an eight seed, no less)

guys this sucks so hard

I am so sad

yeah it's pretty rough when your team loses for the third time in 18 games

i want to shave

i mean this team could end the season 15-6

it could, but i doubt that it will

thread needs to see your playoff beard btw

I'd rather see the fingernails

In the following season, the Devils were publicly humiliated by Wayne Gretzky after they were blown out 13–4 by his team, the Edmonton Oilers. Gretzky was upset that former teammate Ron Low played for what he considered an inferior team, and in a post-game interview said:

“ Well, it's time they got their act together, folks. They're ruining the whole league. They had better stop running a Mickey Mouse organization and put somebody on ice.
