WTF is Drouin doing here? Are sweaty thighs a thing?

[ToddM]

If any of you ever dreamed about playing Olympic hockey, 2018 might be your chance:

[Troy McClure]

So they're protesting getting caught?

[ToddM]

Yep.

[Knives Out]

WTF is Drouin doing here? Are sweaty thighs a thing?

He has hyperhidrosis of le taint.

[Knives Out]

Hey, so remember how the Habs had their worst start to a season in 70+ years?
Yeah, well they are only 1 point behind us now.
And have scored two more goals than us even though they are retardedly offensively challenged ...

[Troy McClure]

A few of them finally started scoring.

[Knives Out]

Habs claim Niemi off waivers LOL.

Kings trade Cammalleri to the Oilers for Juicy Jussi.

Lightning trade Leighton to the Coyotes for Domingue and McGinn.

[SaintAngerBH]

If they keep passing Niemi around like that, he'll break the record for most teams played for in a season.

[Knives Out]

Niemi saw his first action tonight with the Habs with just over 5 minutes left in the game.
They gave him the bronx cheer after his first save (a dump in on net from the neutral zone) and then he let one in shortly after ...

[wonko80]

So why did the Habs claim him?

[ToddM]

So why did the Habs claim him?

Because he's got more Cups than Ovechkin and Lundqvist combined.

[Knives Out]

Because they are lying about the seriousness of Price's injury (again) which means Lindgren will be the starter, Niemi will be the back-up, and Fucale will be the starter in Laval.

Why didn't they try to get a back-up who wasn't factually the worst goalie in the league?
Well because that's Bergevin.

[Troy McClure]

Or because he knows this season is cooked, so there is no point trading future value for a goalie who won’t make any difference.

Speaking of lying about injury, this reminds me of the Colts fans suing the team claiming the Colts lied to fans about Luck’s injury to sell season tickets.

The other Flyers got caught watching the puck battle. Gotta stick to your man in these overtimes

[Knives Out]

LOLOLOLOLOL the Habs have sent Lindgren down which means that Niemi is their official back-up now.

[ToddM]

Not technically about the Stars, but it hits surprisingly close to home:

Montreal now has Adam Cracknell, Ales Hemsky, Anti Niemi and Jordie Benn from last year's Stars team. Fire Marc Bergevin?

*edited to correct Ales from Alex - silly me

They still need Lindy Ruff to complete the Fuckedfecta.

The New York hockey teams love Scott Darling.

[Troy McClure]

[SaintAngerBH]

Watch. They will.

[Knives Out]

Am I really supposed to believe that that kid is 12 or 13? Looks 10 at most.

[5minmajor]

You can't see his goatee.

[Troy McClure]

Bye, Scuba.

[ScubaSteve]

I'll take it I guess, but Key Arena is a *fargin'* *poo poo* hole. Imagine Reunion Arena if it was still around and not originally designed for hockey.
