2021-22 NHL Season Thread

No Crosby. No Malkin.  No hope.

Losing Tristan Jarry for the playoffs is going to make it a tougher road for the Penguins.  He wasn't a world beater last year but he's had a very good regular season and DeSmith just isn't as good.  Hextall could have shored up our goalie situation better, but he didn't.

There are times when you just gotta love Uncle Joe.

At the rate the Penguins are going we're going to out in 4 straight games again. 

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I fear it will be the Rangers in 6 against my Penguins.

I hope it will be the Rangers in 6 against his Penguins.

Rangers new mascot

I'm happy with the 1-1 split in the Garden.  Now if we can at least get DeSmith back that would be nice.

Rangers 1

Pengus - ZEROOOOO!!!!!

I still think the Rangers will win the series, but Honkey Dude is a typical whiny bitch Rangers fan who hates greatness.

Unclr Gramps you guys need to be sending the “war room” in Toronto a big ol’ fruit basket at the end of this series considering the nonstop gifts they keep bestowing upon you.

Good Morning, Nephew.  How was your evening? 

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I have no sympathy for that detestable little sh**t.  The hockey equivalent of a spoiled little brat.  I can't ******* wait for this little asshole to be out of the league. 

He can't hear you, he has 3 stanley cup rings blocking his ears.

I wonder how many the Rangers won during that time?  Oh, yeah...........

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Congrats to HD and other Penguin haters.  I did predict Rangers in 6, but Big Ding Domingue did his best for a 3rd stringer.

Good luck against Carolina.  I will, of course, be rooting for the Bunch of Jerks.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

The Bunch of Jerks are up 1-0!

This may be the best tweet ever.

I'm disgusted with the Rangers' effort last night and will not be watching Game 3.  How dare they. 

Update: I watched it and they won.  Probably because I wore my Brassard jersey. 

Good Lord, Gallant is a whiny little bitch, isn't he? 

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Holy crap I may have just watched the greatest NHL game I’ve ever seen.
Blues down 3-1 in the third, fight their way back to a tie, McKinnon scores basically single handedly, Blues gut out another goal to tie it back up with the extra skater with under a minute left. Game ends on a Bozak one timer in OT.

I was so overjoyed with that game. Glad the Blues extended the series, and hope they do it again Friday.

It was a fun game to watch.  Now if the Bunch of Jerks could please beat the whiny bitch Rangers, tonight will be a great night too.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Congrats to Hockey Puke and his Rangers.  Tampa ain't Carolina but it will be a fun series, as will Edmonton/Colorado (sorry about your Blues, sis).

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

So much for low scoring 2-1 games.  But it's much more entertaining when they score a lot.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Bruce Cassidy out as Head Coach of the Boston Bruins.

Dude was a solid coach with a great record.  But the lifespan of a NHL coach is quite short.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Gallant will be fired.

If this was any sports league other than the NHL I'd say you're insane, but I'll just respectfully disagree.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Lightning in 7

Bruce Cassidy out as Head Coach of the Boston Bruins.

Hired by the Vegas Golden Knights.

A good hire.  7 days of unemployment for Bruce.  Knew it wouldn't be long.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

The Lightning tie it up tonight.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Will Ron Hextall sign Malkin or Letang?  That's the burning question here.  I'm good with moving on from both and using the money to re-too.  We haven't been great with them here the past several years.

We really need to re-sign Letang IMO. Unless he wants too many dollars or years. I love Malkin but he can move on if we wants. We could sign Kadri to replace him.

There is zero doubt I'd rather have Letang.  I think they feel that way too.  All about $$$ and term.
