Around the League 2016:World Cup Edition

[Reaper45]

The beautiful Great One back in a front office role with the Oilers, first time since 09 (Coyotes) that he's assumed a position in team leadership.

Good for Wayne.

We're all rooting for you, even if it's an up and coming division rival, Great One.

No, we're not.

 

[YP44]

Even so YP, it's nice to have him around the game. Even if it's as a figurehead.

I agree with that.

 

[KingTrouty]

No, we're not.

Ok bubba, you tell me.

I was referring to Wayne, not the Oilers.

Or are you saying you don't root for Wayne?

 

[Reaper45]

Ok bubba, you tell me.

I was referring to Wayne, not the Oilers.

Or are you saying you don't root for Wayne?

Indeed I don't.

 

[KingTrouty]

Indeed I don't.

Fair enough, I know there's some of you folk out there that don't.

Can I ask why, Reaper?

wow something i can agree with Reaper about I also don't cheer for 99 For me it was i was happy with the teams direction before the trade The kings were going in the right direction with youth. We gave up to much to get him. We also lost our colours royal blue and forum gold. I was not a fan of raider colours Its taken a stanley cup win to accept them for me.

Weird seeing Taylor Hall in a Devils Jersey.

Fair enough, dude. That's completely understandable. Your fandom predates mine, so I don't have that kind of view of 99.

I won't begrudge you earlier folk for views like that, perhaps I would feel the same way.

But I love Wayne.

Marchand was a force in the WC, looks like he's still riding that wave. 5 pts /+5 in the season opener...

#Habs Andrew Shaw was given a major penalty for slew footing Johan Larson at end of game

 

[deeshamrock]

Talk about a dedicated fan putting his money where his mouth is...this guy was so angry at the Habs management for trading PK, that he took out a full page ad in the paper (to the tune of 20,000) to thank PK and then vocalize his displeasure . And is a season ticket holder boycotting every game except the Nashville game. He is starting an initiative for other fans to follow suit.

Marchand's a monster. Good to see Backes having a good start. I like the guy.

Uh, okaaaaaay.


Congrats to King's Pawn for cleaning up in fantasy hockey. He has the touch. When you're good, you're good.

 

[Herby]

I would never do anything that crazy, but it was just a horrible trade by MTL. But then again, as Kings fans we are used to bad trades over the years.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I'm waiting for someone from here to post an LA Times center ad complaining about Sutter.

 

[YP44]

I want a gif of Williams take down of Malkin so bad.

 

[deeshamrock]

I want a gif of Williams take down of Malkin so bad.

I actually saw that and it was great.

The gif is in the below and it's awesome....

Geez Williams took him out assassin style.

Someone has too much money and takes hockey a little too seriously.

 

[Little Psycho]

Imagine if Williams was a King and he did that.....fans would want his head.

 

[deeshamrock]

Geez Williams took him out assassin style.

Malkin seemed to think it was tied to their previously history and JW's reaction was for that as well.

 

[Kingspiracy]

Jdub with the takedown, awesome

 

[Steve Zissou]

Straight up JDubbin' him.

 

[YP44]

Imagine if Williams was a King and he did that.....fans would want his head.

yup haha.
I like that they (malking and Williams) have bad blood, I wonder what it stems from. I don't remember anything too bad about him from his time as a king. I really want to cheer for the caps because of Williams but just cannot. I like a lot of their players but hate the capitals.

 

[Reaper45]

Geez Williams took him out assassin style.

Couldn't happen top a nicer guy. F Malkin, he's dirty as ****.

 

[ru4reals]

Can't stand Malkin! Acts tough then hides behind people. Still love Williams!
