Old School Hockey

How about a buyout for Howard. Not sure of the NTC/NMC he may have.

BTW .931 in 3 games vs 18 games. His regular season save pct was not top 30.

I WAS a huge Howard supporter. He is NOT worth the money he's being paid. Which goalie still playing is letting in soft goals? Here's the thing. He routinely allows soft goals. His rebound control has ALWAYS been horrible. His in net position is never very good. Puck handling? He is by far the worst puck handling #1 goalie in the NHL. Bottom line in today's CAPPED NHL a team can not win without superior goaltending. And Howard is not a superior goaltender. Plain and simple. As to who? I don't really care. I just know his 5.6m could have been spent better.

Ok I've been watching ALL playoff goalies play better than ours. A rookie in Montreal is now playing better than Howard. It's not because of defense, it's because these guys are in proper position and aren't giving up soft goals. Even Crawford looks better than Howard. It's time to cut the losses and move on.

When names like Subban, Green and Karlsson are mentioned as Norris caliber players it cheapens what the award is about. The three I mentioned are HORRIBLE defensemen and should NEVER be mentioned with the likes of Orr, Lidstrom, Bourque and several others. The only reason these guys get any mention is two fold. Flashy 4th forwards and the NHL defense core is horrible right now.

He should be forced to play and not be suspended! Suspending him helps the Rangers more than it hurts them!

I call the Bruins organization out because Jeremy Jacobs! He's an F-ing idiot that been one of the biggest causes of two major lockouts. And oh yeah Flyer fans Ed Snider is a close second in idiots on the Board of Governors!

But but but Don Cherry says good ole Canadian boy! Imagine Cherry if that were a Russian doing the same thing! I can hear it. "Those Russian players just don't understand the North American traditions!"

Here's the owners motto! Spend spend spend! We need the players to give back again. Who writes the contracts again?

Try getting the owners to tell you what HRR (hockey related revenue) is. They love hiding crap. They are including Bettman very disingenuous SOB's!

Heres something that's very funny! Leipold whinned about how he was then one out and sign two players for $200 million. Seems a bit hypocritical?

Here's a cool tradition I'd like to see brought back. Plain and simple RESPECT.

Yes even in the BSB days when it was said and done with tons of bloodshed they took the time shake hands. BTW I did watch the finals of the BSB.

Still waiting for you to make a non condescending post.

How about when a player says next year I'm going to f-ing kill you. Is that considered good sportsmanship?

In most it does come naturally. But in a small % (see Lucic) being a unsportsmanlike thug comes naturally.

Without use the intimidation factor!

Were angels compared to...............

1970's! Need I say more?

At what point did I say I condone TB's actions?

Siding with a thugs is???

Why???? Should I expect insults?

And oh a Flyers Fan! Wouldn't expect the word sportsmanship to mean much.

If people would just leave the games traditions alone I'd be happy!

Also, I love the condescending I'm right and you're wrong attitude you seem to have! Seems like I'm having a debate with my wife.
