Making an NHL only thread, because I'm sick of seeing the Peyton Manning thread riddled with hockey talk.

So fellow Canadians, REJOICE!

EDIT: And Americans too, we know some of you love hockey as well.

It's true.  They should have fired him and not Vigneault.  None of the good players Vancouver has were acquired by him, but he's good at getting rid of them.

Sens Aqquire Ales Hemsky from oilers for a 3rd and 5th pick. No conditional pick is Hemsky resigns, and Oilers eat up half of his cap hit this year.


Is McTavish stupid?

Saw St. Louis got traded, I think that was a good move. My Wings got Legwand from Nashville, decent move I guess, we didn't give up much.

Martin St. Louis gets no ******* respect and it enrages me. The dude won the Art Ross last year at the age of 37 and his own ******* GM gives no ****s about him.

We're talking about one of the greatest undersized players of all-time, Marty St. Louis is a true warrior and a genius on the ice. Furthermore, his production has yet to even be CLOSE to declining. Two time gold medalist, former MVP, two time scoring champion and a man who, using sheer determination, managed to completely turn his career upside down despite a plethora of negativity showered on him for his entire career.

Every single child who wants to be a hockey player growing up should look up to Martin St. Louis; if a sports athlete could ever be considered to be a true hero, he would be the quintessential sports hero.

It's despicable how Yzerman treated him this past season.

I never said I didn't respect the guy, I always thought he was awesome for the reasons you said. I don't follow Tampa Bay all that much to be totally honest, so I don't know what when on between St. Louis and Yzerman. I just know he wanted to leave.

He went undrafted too, you can add that to the **** he dealt with.

I never said you didn't. I was just frustrated at the way St. Louis gets treated, he's one of my favorite players.

I mean, have you ever played NHL 2004? Tampa Bay destroys literally every team in that game 'cause of St Louis being 10 times faster than every other player and Khabibulin contorting himself Cirque du Soleil-style.

Haha, I had 2003 for the gamecube, it's probably pretty close. I used to always try to trade to get him and Lecavalier. They used to have an awesome team there.

Never mind, I had 2004 too.

I still play '04 from time to time.  Dynasty mode with the Wings just wasn't fair because that was the year they had Hasek, Cujo and Legacy.  I'd always trade Cujo for someone like Pavel Bure and trade all my draft picks for someone like St. Louis.  Unstoppable team.

That was probably one of my favorite games as a kid. I need to get around to finding a copy.

Just torrent that ***** from piratebay, hook up an XBOX controller and play.

I loved playing as Montreal and trading for Kovalchuk, that **** was fun.

I don't know if you guys played NHL 2K7 but dannng, Kovalchuk was ****** UP in that game.

Martin St. Louis is one of only 4 players to win multiple scoring titles in the NHL in the last 30 years.

Without researching, my guess is Martin St. Louis, Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr.

And after researching, looks like there's been five; Evgeni Malkin's on that too.
