Hamtaro Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Well, what I posted was meant to show that this guy wasn't even from Vancouver and that it sounds like he went there only to cause trouble. I saw a photo of a police car in Vancouver about 2 days after the "riot" covered with post-its saying thank-you and some other photos of the clean up effort. The city came together for a great cause and that outshines any trouble makers who were actually from Vancouver. It's a shame when a few people can give so many a bad name, especially since some people will irrationally never let Vancouver live this down. The fans who were actually at the game set a good example by not only staying after the loss, but applauding Thomas and the rest of the Bruins. The only one they booed was that horrible commissioner, which I would have done too even if my team won. Good luck to the Canucks next year, although I'm still hoping for an Original Six streak :thumbsup:. Player since 2004.

Buzzcut3 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 A post I made on another forum: Philly has been busy today. Flyers traded top goal scorer Jeff Carter to the Blue Jackets for forward Jake Voracek and the club's first- and third-round picks. The Flyers dealt Richards to L.A. for forwards Brayden Schenn and Wayne Simmonds, and a second-round pick in the 2012 draft. According to a report, the Flyers have signed Ilya Bryzgalov to a nine-year, $51 million deal Flames have also asked Regehr to wave his no trade clause to go to Buffalo. Also, the Winnipeg Roughriders (if I say it enough it will happen) have hired Claude Noel (Manitoba Moose Coach) to be their Coach. My opinion on all of these: the Carter trade seems bad for the Flyers and good for the Blue Jackets. The Richards trade seems good for both teams. The Bryzgalov signing is hilarious from a Winnipeg fan's perspective (will explain), and I'm not sure about trading Regehr. I don't like the Noel signing, but Manitoba has been good with Coaches in the past. Carter trade seems like they're relying on the draft pick, so maybe they have someone in mind they want for the future. Brayden Schenn is going to be a great player, so that's the reason I like that trade for the Flyers. The Kings are now going to have a legitimate first line, with the possibility of Richards, Kopitar, and Brown on the same line, so that should be fun to watch now that Quick actually has some offensive talent. Bryzgalov is not a character guy. He wanted to go to the KHL to be around Russians, he talks crap about Winnipeg after only being here once or twice. I'm glad he didn't come here and I'm glad he can go to Philly, where fans throw snowballs at Santa and are proud of it. Noel to me seems like a guy who settles for average, and I'm basing this from what I saw when he coached the Moose. Hope I'm wrong and he's a mastermind at producing young talent. And I heard the Flyers are going to go after Brad Richards as well. It has hit the fan.

obfuscator Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Flyers won't go after richards I doubt. Also the carter trade wasn't bad - voracek is legit and that pick is really high.

Buzzcut3 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 He played for Columbus so I've never seen him play lol. An 8th overall draft pick is good though. I guess the trade depends on how well Voracek does though, as if he's good it might be a good trade for Philly, and if he's bad it's a good trade for the Blue Jackets (although either way I think the Jackets got a good deal, as a first line centre for them at that price is pretty good).

Faux Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 are you a flyers fan? i heard there was a rift in the locker room between pronger and richards/carter so those two ended up going :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obfuscator Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I heard that as well; makes sense too. Can't see pronger being the type to be bossed around by richards aha. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Range_This11 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I heard the trade news on the radio this morning. I can't express how much I hate Pronger, even all those years he played with Blues I thuoght he was a dirty player--especially when he injured Steve Yzerman. I can see why there would have been a "rift" in the locker room, he seems like a jerk. There you go Y Guy, I posted in the hockey thread :shades: "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder."

I can see why there would have been a "rift" in the locker room, he seems like a jerk. There you go Y Guy, I posted in the hockey thread :shades:Epic! Generally I like to use the "fan hate meter" of an indication of how effective the player is. Pronger is unquestionably dirty; but that's part of what makes him such an effective player. Look at other "hated" players, such as Lapierre and Marchand; and look at how effective they were in the playoffs this year...

Range_This11 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Believe me, I don't mind a dirty player because as Gordie Howe said "If you shade the rules a bit, then you get more respect. That respect gives you more room and you can be a better hockey player." Pronger seems the type of player that is unaffected by injuring players and often seeks out dirty play instead of using it as a tool. He just strikes me as a particularly class-less hockey player.

obfuscator Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Lol "class" is such an overused word in the hockey world. I see pronger as a guy who wants to win and does everything in his power to do so. He's arrogant and dirty, but that's what makes him a good player. When I read "classless" I immediately thought: (all_is_great will get it) "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Range_This11 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 They give out the Lady Byng Trophy for a reason. Brad Richards, 2003-2004 Lady Byng Memorial Trophy recipient, classy hockey player. Doesn't get along with Pronger. Gee, I wonder why. There's shading the rules to gain respect and having the drive to do anything it takes to win, and then there's being a class-A douche on skates. Pronger fits the latter category. My favorite memory of Chris Pronger: He tries to yard-sale an injured Yzerman and gets what he deserves http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb_fmWpcbag "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder."
