Alexander Semin not returning to Capitals by Master_Chodain hockey

[–]woot_sopel 1 point2 points ago

I actually feel like he'd be a perfect fit in Detroit. You better believe management, coaching, and the rest of the roster would have him buying into the team game non-stop pretty freakin' quick.

Good god, as if I didn't already love the guy enough the post just had to include videos of him blowing up Brad Marchand AND Phil Kessel... ughhh I miss him <3

Your "Famous Last Words" of the 2012 NHL Postseason by tomkeslerin hockey

[–]woot_sopel 1 point2 points ago

"We've been playing better lately without Daniel anyways, so maybe it'll work out nicely for him to be out of the line-up and make his way back into the line up when we need a boost in a later round."

Our team is out. Who do you support now? by deanresinin hockey

Can't tell if chirp or just fact...

Our team is out. Who do you support now? by deanresinin hockey

[–]woot_sopel 0 points1 point ago

The only reason that this rule sucks sometimes is if the team that eliminates your team continues to beat the other teams they play, thus serving to elongate your inner feelings of loss and disappointment, as well as further your dislike for that team. For example: As a Canucks fan, if I choose to root against the Kings right now its looking more and more like I'll be setting myself up for some real sadness.

Anybody know of any sweet-ass apartments that will be available for the end of August/beginning of September? by woot_sopelin Hamilton

Hey! Find your own post! Just kidding, when I first moved out here I used a combination of padmapper, kijiji, and craigslist. Good luck! It's a wicked city.

No Canadian clubs left? No problem by atomicspacein hockey

[–]woot_sopel 0 points1 point ago

If I was judging this list based purely on the number of Canadian players who play vital roles in their team's success I think I'd have to say I was cheering for an LA (Philly West) v. Philly final... although I suppose a pretty solid argument could be made for Phoenix or STL as well.

The Goalie-go-Round, who goes where? by Llort2in hockey

[–]woot_sopel 0 points1 point ago

In all honesty I think you alluded to the reason why he won't be able to "demand as much as he wants" in your post. Because the Kings still have Bernier and everybody (including Quick) knows that Bernier is a top-drawer NHL prospect/could very easily be an NHL starter, Quick won't be able to demand an outlandish contract. He'll still get a fat paycheque but it won't be as crazy as you think.

For revenue and popularity what's the best playoff scenario? by camstercin hockey

[–]woot_sopel 4 points5 points ago

The NHL would also likely want to avoid Phoenix having anything to do with the final due to some potential bad press regarding a conflict of interest between the team and the league.

Is there anywhere I can still rent video games in Hamilton? by thatguyismein Hamilton

If you're a Mac student you can go into that atrocity known as the media centre in Mills library and rent some I believe.

Canucks GM Mike Gillis blames emotional regular-season win against Bruins for team's struggles by Pnut1221in hockey

[–]woot_sopel 0 points1 point ago

O.o ...I have no idea how a news article headline like that could possibly translate into a comment about fair weather fans... and moreover I wasn't talking about Gillis making excuses, although I can understand how you would perceive it that way. I was talking about the media as well as the "fair weather fans" making excuses. I wish the post-playoff discussion around this team each year was about the game itself and not "why they choked". You are an aggressive person sir and I find your tone most disagreeable.

Canucks GM Mike Gillis blames emotional regular-season win against Bruins for team's struggles by Pnut1221in hockey

[–]woot_sopel 0 points1 point ago

Nor I. I don't really take issue with him acknowledging that it had a huge emotional toll on the team, or that it seemed to throw the whole team off... I feel like those are most likely somewhat factual statements, but he had to know that saying those things was going to eventually lead to a headline that read "Canucks GM Mike Gillis Blames Emotional Regular-Season Win Against Bruins for Team's Struggles"... Plus I am really not a fan of what feels like a constant need to make excuses around this team... As others have said, just fucking own it, suck it up, come back hungrier. WE LOST. LA played awesome. They deserved to win.

Cody Hodgon’s personality test results are bleak to say the least | The Province by meter1060in canucks

That was utter pig vomit. It also makes me feel as if I missed something... did Hodgson bang another player's wife or something??

Backes, Bergeron and Datsyuk nominated for Selke. by ericdavidmorrisin hockey

[–]woot_sopel 0 points1 point ago

Would've been so much better if we'd just let them have Bernier when they put the offer sheet in on him. Think of the trolling potential!

2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs: A Much Different Picture This Year by woot_sopelin hockey

[–]woot_sopel[S] 0 points1 point ago*

As much as I agree with you about the Red Wings being a surprise out in the first round it is also looking like they came up against the best team out of all the teams that I wrote up there as hypothetically advancing in the West (other than St.Louis perhaps). I'm not saying that if they'd played against Phoenix or L.A. that they necessarily would've made it through, but I feel like they would have possibly had a better shot.

To nobodys surprise, Landeskog, Henrique, Nugent-Hopkins the 3 Calder Finalists by LFryoin hockey

[–]woot_sopel 4 points5 points ago

In all honesty, I'm just really glad to see that other people on here are pointing out some of the other great rookies (Faulk and Read to name a few) who deserve to be included in conversations about the Calder. The fact that there is this much young talent (much of it coming out nowhere it seems) in the game bodes very well for the game.
