Re: 2013 NHL Season
Wow... That's rather narrow minded and ignorant of you to say concerning Deeznutz. Let me get this straight, the idea that Deeznutz is a Pittsburgh Penguins fan means he doesn't get it? This is based on the thought process that his opinion or comments don't necessarily coincide with your views and/or opinions? Alright then. Right there, that makes your argument invalid. There is no logic to it. Lets rewind a little and replay with a more accurate call: Perhaps it's a Deeznutz thing? Would that make more sense? You see, this is what we call rhetorical questions. What he thinks and what other Penguins fans think are not one in the same, except for the fact (that word again), that both are fans of the same team. Lets target those who drink water, and every time someone says something we don't agree with, we can say, it's typical of their water consuming nature.. That would be the entire world. You see, it isn't that easy.
Moving along... What was the whole point of throwing in, "since the only T word the Pens know is TANK." Am I missing something here? What the heck have they done in the past 5 years? Two Stanley Cup Finals and a Stanley Cup victory is tanking? Sure they haven't had the greatest playoff success since their last Cup win, but before the New Jersey Devils surprising Cup run, they failed to make the playoffs. Also, you do realize the Pen's core is still young and much into their prime... Sidney Crosby (25), Evgeni Malkin (26), James Neal (25), Kris Letang (25), and Marc-Andre Fleury (28). They also possess the deepest pool of defensive prospects, and some would argue the best as well. Oh, and don't write them off as they can't win again. I remember a lot of people claiming they wouldn't ever win another Cup pre-2009. Yet they did. I believe this team has what it takes to win another. They maybe missing one more piece, but I don't think it's unattainable for them or out of the realm of possibility. Lets keep in mind, an 8th seeded team won the Holy Grail of hockey last Spring.
Fact: I am a Pittsburgh Penguins fan. Fact: I knew about the trap era Montreal Canadiens of the 1970's. Fact: New Jersey brought it back in the mid 90's. Fact: It bored a lot of people. What can I say, it is well documented. I don't necessarily agree with their thoughts, but it is what it is. Fact: The Penguins have won as much Cups as your Devils. Fact: The Penguins Cup was more recent than the Devils. Fact: I am a New Jersey supporter, but just stating the facts. So don't get on me how I am all against your team... Because that would be a misplaced and inaccurate opinion. Not a fact. I wouldn't say the Devils are trying to tank, because it's clearly evident that isn't the case. Much like saying the Pens are trying to tank is laughable.
Anyway, saw that the New Jersey Devils picked up Andrei Loktionov for a 5th rounder. Damn, and I just released him a week or two ago for Jake Muzzin. He's for the most part a finesse style offensive player. Doesn't play a physical game or execute the best defense. Nor is he consistent in the O-zone. So he will have to make it on their top six or most likely pack his bags for the KHL next year. The favourable thing for him, is that he stayed in North America to play in Manchester (Los Angeles' farm system) to show his invested interest in the NHL, and developing on their terms vs. taking a higher pay grade and playing in his homeland. I like it, it's a cheap experiment that may pay dividends for the Devs. I just wished I would have executed more patience with him. That's of course, if he plays well for his new NHL team.

Tim Thomas traded to the Islanders.
With his $5 million gone and Savard on LTIR the Bruins could add an expensive piece if need be at the trade deadline.

Re: 2013 NHL Season
Normally I would point and laugh, but your team is playing so poorly I feel sorry. I don't get their implosion. To a degree I do, but they are better than this. Team moral is at an all-time low, and as much as I love Adam Oates the player, it was a ballsy movie to hire a guy with zero NHL coaching track record.
And like many have mentioned, there is no identity to the team. I don't think Ovie is damaged goods or that he needs to be traded. A coaching change maybe what is needed. Still, I would give it a couple more games, but yes, not looking good for this season.

Re: 2013 NHL Season
Caps are done. Ovie needs to go, he's a 3rd line player at best right now. Caps should remove the C from him ASAP, just because he's high paid isn't a reason to have him as a captain. Guy has NO leadership skills, and NO heart! Trade Ovie, Green, get young and rebuild.

Bozak's SH goal was sweet last night as well, he got a few goals like that last few seasons usually deeper in the oppositions zone.

Re: 2013 NHL Season
Yup, five-zip Leafs...hope Kessel gets on a lengthy goal streak, Reimer's best performance thus far after two periods(hope he gets the SO) and that JVR for Schenn trade is really paying off for the Leafs.

Re: 2013 NHL Season
Pacioretty gets thrown out of the game and now he claims he got bit? What a ****ing idiot, give me a break. Accept the ***-raping that the Habs received tonight and we'll see you next time, jackass. 
Also, I love how Orr dropped a Hab with one punch- best fighter in the NHL
