Instead of creating a couple of threads for fairly random stuff, I thought we could have one thread where we just post about whatever annoys us about the NHL.

For example, right now I think Dave Tippett is a sore loser and actually pretty stupid for considering the puck hitting Whitney's glove and then bouncing to Yakupov who scored A HAND PASS! As if that was a planned play by Whitney. Just a stupid, annoying thing to say.

And another thing! Is it just me or does Boston have the biggest collection of players that look like cavemen? Horton and especially Lucic should be enough on their own but then they also have Marchand who is just flat out fugly!

Agree? Disagree? Add your own random annoyances or gripe about how mine are stupid!

Well has a habs fan, the treatment of Lars Eller has me scratching my head. Although he did nothing to help his case last night. I'm more pissed about the way the NBA refs treat the Raptors in the dying seconds of close games.

Yeah...ok...this thread is going to do wonders for me letting off some steam.

So what's the frig'n deal with Voracek. The experts and most of the seasoned bloggers on here wrote up and down in the off season about how Voracek is a lock for 1st line duties next to Giroux. It was supposed to happen last year...It did not (Playoffs aside). It was supposed to be a lock this year, again...he slipped through the cracks.

In my opinion, I wasted a keeper spot on this clown. I thought I'd just bury him on my bench and ride out the storm...but with guys like Ovechkin, Carter, Phaneuf, Doughty, Kessel and Byrz taking up so much room on my bench, I'm wondering if the time has come to just cut this guy free.

I've watched a few Philly games thanks to Centre Ice, and see no real special talent there (displayed at least).

How many times must I be dissapointed by this guy before I just throw him out the window and never look back?

The Kids need to shoot the god damn puck! The three of them (Eberle, Hal, RNH) had so much fun tea-bagging the entire AHL that now all they do is try to make overly fancy plays. Especially Hall! Youre Taylor-freaking-Hall shoot once in a while!

I HATE MOST OF THE PENGUINS RIGHT NOW

And Ovechkin. I don't own him, but he used to be fun to watch at least.

Edit: New faceoff rule is really, really stupid

Leafs suck Columbus sucks and Ottawa sucks for not sucking

How I imagine this thread going



I'm agreement with the "hand pass" gripe. Its not soccer, deal with it.

As happy as I am that hockey is back on, and I'm watching as many games as the wife will tolerate, I hate myself for enabling the exact behavior that led to us being deprived of hockey all of last Fall. For shame...

My 2 goalies are Kipper and Hiller. League counts Wins and SV%. Kipper and Hiller's combined SV% is 0.870.

I hate goalies.
