WiDeN Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Yeah, we don't like people with actual knowledge about goaltending here. Stick to speculation, fabrication, abrasive replies, and opinion delivered as fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L'Orange Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Wow you sir need a reality check. Couture is not going anywhere and No show??? Really, you wouldnt want a guy who would be the perfect fit to play 2nd line center and put kesler to the wing? San Jose wouldnt trade Joe to Vancouver for LU anyways and Joe I know would not accept a trade to Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Imagine that! Roberto Luongo and Joe Thornton on the same team. The Sharks would surely win another Presidents Trophy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiDeN Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I had a really good day today, and I just want to tell you all. Even after all the crazy stuff we've been through together in this thread, I love you all. Even you King... even you. Sorry I get a little mushy after a couple beers.

King of the ES Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 That's because Joe Thornton is an A$$clown. His antics with Henrik were just pathetic. Henrik acted like an adult while Thornton puts his finger in his face. The guy is a loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 That was a pathetic thing to do to Henrik. ...but perhaps even more pathetic was Henrik's reaction to it. Not many "adults" that I know would act like that, in the face of being blatantly disrespected. Henrik acted like a COWARD! For Christ's sake, do something! You're really going to let a grown man disrespect you like that, so blatantly and publicly? He should've done it right back in Thornton's face. If a fight ensues, fight! Who cares? You're not going to get hurt. And it's Joe Thornton, not Ben Eager. Equal trade-off. This'll probably get me flamed, I don't care. You can't let an opponent disrespect you like that. Sets a very bad precedent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the ES Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I don't have a problem with how Henrik handled that situation. It's not really his instinct to haul off and coldcock someone -although if he had, I wouldn't have a problem with that either. He is after all, the captain, and the epitome of sportsmanlike - not sure if it's a great idea for him to be engaging in fights if he's not an adept fighter. Thornton made an A$$CLOWN of himself (perfect description Canuck-a-nuck) - I'm not sure that pathetic performance was worthy of a manly response anyway, to be honest. The way Henrik responded pretty much kept it in perspective - an attention-seeking juvenile that was acting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Henrik looked worse. "Sportsmanlike" is shaking hands after a series, it's not letting the opponent humiliate you at center ice. It was disgusting to see Hank just sit back and let Thornton bully him like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the ES Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 It would be interesting to poll people and see if Henrik was "humiliated" or if Thornton humiliated himself - and I'd hardly call that "bullying" - it was more like an insignificant twit attempting to annoy someone. If Thornton were such a tough guy he could have done what a tough guy might do, which is challenge someone to a fight, not wave his sad little digit around.

oldnews Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Anyway - Gillis - prohibited from having any discussions regarding players, or speaking with players that are not injured and still under contract. Kinda puts the lock on anticipation and speculation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
