General Hockey Talk - Injuries, signings, factoids + other news from around the league

For once I got the first pick in my hockey pool and figured I'd play it safe by taking Crysby my mistake. Would've been better off taking Joel Ward.

Crosby needs a trade. That team has Cussed him over for years. Wasting away the best player in the league should be a fireable offense

The guy that took Klingberg will probably win. 20 points in 18 games -- that's better than Karlsson. Had the OT winner last night, too. The difference is the powerplay -- Klingberg has 10 of his 20 on the PP and Karlsson has 6 of 17.

That would be me, in the 6th round

I'd take The Cros in Ottawa. But it might cost Ceci so forget it

Pittsburgh needed to trade one of Malkin of Crysby about three years ago. But nah, keep getting wingers of questionable character instead (Neal, Kessel).

True. It's not too late to fix that mistake though.

They will never trade Crosby. Malkin on the other hand... the time is now.

McGuire was answering a question about Semin's poor play in Montreal and, while his reason wasn't that Montreal is poorly coached, he mentioned how well coached Toronto is in his answer. What a jackass.

All Hail the Mighty Babcock.

The only difference between Semin and Datsyuk is the Babcock Effect.

Babcock the saviour!

I missed most of the Pierre segment on TGOR this morning but apparently he was VFing Babcock again:

TSN 1200 ‏@TSN1200 · 2h2 hours ago
Pierre McGuire: Babcock making a huge difference in Toronto #NHL #Sens #Pens #Stars #BlueJackets

P.S. VF=verbal fellatio

Toronto has hot streaks every year, and normally in the first half of the season.

Babcock had pretty average results in Detroit with an above-average roster.

Babcock won some Olympic gold medals, but again, I could've coached those teams to gold.

Anyway, I will reserve VFing him until he's done something of significance with Toronto.

Why did McGuire hashtag Sens in there?

who cares about McGuire. he's such a suckass. hey EV! you still want him to  GM the senators?

Doughty comes out not in favour of the 3 on 3 all star format. How much do you wanna bet that a lot more players than usual back out of this year's event. Aka KId Karlsson.
