huzer Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Can we ban this freakin' statement already? If I hear "New NHL" out of anyone anymore, I'm going to crack. It's as if the league name is now NNHL. Driving me CRAZY. "Oh, he's got what it takes in the new NHL." Give me a break. :puke: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doktor Kosmos Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 One that I don't like is "something something of the young season". Young season? Sounds really stupid IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markierung Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Are the Americas still considered the New World? Ya, the New NHL is going to be around for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 They say new because the 'old' nhl pissed off half of there dying american fan base and these people said they'd had enough and don't go to games anymore. They say New because they are telling the fans that went away to come back by saying we are different now. The things of the past are over please come back to me love. The New NHL is the reformed boyfriend who is trying to get back with his ex girlfriend by saying "i've changed, I've changed for the better". So far the girlfriend is having none of these tricks she thinks he's still up to no good and asks 'why should I trust you' and the boyfriend goes 'because I've changed'. The girlfriend then goes thats still not enough for me and leaves him. the story of the nhl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortcat1 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Ahhhh.... to be the contrarian...

I just don't need to have it railroaded into my head 50 times during the course of the game. And constantly here announcers talk about Briere, and St Louis, and any other smaller guys that have made it because of the "new" NHL.

Doktor Kosmos Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Referring to the puck as "the biscuit" and the goalie's glove as "the basket" should outlawed by penelty of public whipping. 25 lashes minimum, + 15 lashes for repeat offenders.

Craig Laughlin of CSN for the Caps would be dead by now if that was the case. He's the absolute worst about that. Absolutely refuses to call the puck simply "puck".

Can somebody tell the CJAD guys to stop calling defensive zones "Panthers/Lightning/Bruins/Habs/ect. Country"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doktor Kosmos Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Oh yeah, that one too. I saw a rerun of the Blackhawks@Coyotes game earlier tonight, and every time the Hawks dumped the puck into the Coyotes defensive zone, the commentator said "Hawks dump it into Coyote country". That sounds incredibly stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
