Nah I wouldn't say he was a disappointment. You were crazy if you expected 90 points again. I remember after the all star break he was such a bitch about not making the all star team he stopped trying to pass and tried slapshots. The guy needs to learn he is more needed for setting up goals then scoring them.

plus the first two months he spent more time laying on the ice trying to get a call like a faggot.

The only person who dosen't see him for the overrated one-way player he is is that Capitalist fangirl.

Being called "The Next Wayny Gretzky" dosen't count for much when Bobby Orr served Gretzky's ass on a silver platter in terms of two-way play.

I agree. Being a skater means you need the ability to have depth in what's going on in the ice. Not to mean that you should be all over the ice like a dangler, but heck, if you're a Defenseman, you gotta come out of the point occasionally to screen the net, and if you're a Forward, you gotta fucking backcheck and help the D and prevent odd-man rushes. There are some faggots that believe some players should only have one fucking dimension, that Forwards should do offense only and that Defensemen should do defense only. Pittsburgh may be able to score goals till the cows come home, but if they can't prevent the opposing team from taking shots and making turnovers, seriously, what good is the offense?

Pittsburgh has zero chance. If they're all attack and no defense, they won't get too far. Not to mention Fleury and Conklin are fucking shitty goaltenders. Defense and goaltending win Stanley Cups.

Some wiseasses (*cough*Jersey*cough*) got too smart on the defense and made the game "boring" to the shirt-and-ties at the League office, so they had to modify the rules to reduce effective defense and give faggots like Crosby more of a chance to score goals. They're even considering making the nets bigger, as if reducing pad size and letting refs make bullshit calls on the D wasn't bad enough.

Yeah, where's the controversy? Crosby is so fucking overrated, even all the braindead Pens fans admit it. He's supposed to be the next Gretzky, he's not even the best player in the league right now.

Didn't New Jersey invent the Left Wing Lock, allowing the Left Winger to back-check after turnovers in the neutral zone to prevent Oddman Rushes?

no, the Russians invented the left winger lock, the Devils used the neutral zone trap...good defense is why Brodeur is such a fucking good goalie

tbh, id be more excited when someone said "he's the next bobby orr", not wayne gretzsky. gretzsky played in the most offensive era in nhl history, and with all the rule changes this decade, all his shit will probably be broken.

fuck yeah Johnny Oduya!

we don't have Stevens and Niedermeyer anymore, give it a rest with the instant bawwing with "NEUTRAL ZONE TRAP NEUTRAL ZONE TRAP!" whenever your team gets beat.

We only have mediocre defense right now but guys like Zack Parisi and Brian Gionta have greatly improve their offense.

go back to 2003.

You lost fucking 7-1 a few nights ago. 'Mediocre' is putting it lightly.

exactly, so stop this bullshit that Brodeur is only putting up good numbers because of this "iron curtain" defense.

>>45301
He let in seven goals. That dosen't amount to good numbers.

did the red wings lose like 8-0 against the leafs? sure, theyll lose in the first round, but theyre currently the best regular season team!

The devils took the NHL from the heights of popularity in the 80s and 90s to the depths of near irrelevance.

Fuck the devils for doing serious damage to the sport.

1st is GAA in the east, 3rd overall behind the Wings and the Ducks with 20 more games played

1st in Save% in the east, 4rd overall behind Vancouver, Anaheim, and Nashville (only counted goalies with 50+ games played)

No, it was the devils.

VERY FEW people find watching a glorified AHLer mug the most talented players in the league night in and night out entertaining.

During the 90s, players like Gretzky and Lemieux had to play with talentless dingleberries hanging off them every fucking play.

Don't even get me started on the ridiculousness of goalie equipment.

Oh sorry for inventing a superior defense? Maybe we'll just play permanent 4 on 5 next time so you don't bitch about it. Fuck off if you don't like it

The funny part is that most fans did.

But hey, did anyone see the Devils crowd last night? I haven't seen more empty seats since I took my SATs in Philadelphia.

I hope you're a fellow ATL fan talking about the team and not the player because he's the only one doing anything... but even if you are, what did you expect? Tkachuk went back. No Defense. No Center. No Coach. No Ownership. No Direction. Trade Hossa, only one legit threat left. OP pic related. Old Kozlov is old.
