The Thread Where We've All Got Playoff Beards

[Mountainous Cleavage]

Nobody interested in the ASG draft?

Team Chara is absolutely going to dominate the game, no questions asked. I'm predicting a Lupul/Seguin/Kessel line at some point in the game.

Did not see

Logan Couture

being the last guy standing. When it came down to the final four, I was expecting Seguin to end up last. That'd be a sweet topping for the Kessel/Seguin comparision.

You must be joking. There's no way Chara lets Seguin go last.

[Mountainous Cleavage]

I wouldn't mind a free car, dunno bout you.

[SeanDMan]

You're talking to a Leafs fan Plubby, he's probably not aware that Chara and Seguin are teammates.

[SeanDMan]

Listening to Burke talk is great.

[Plubby]

Burke is great. I love that guy - I could listen to him talk about hockey for days.

[SeanDMan]

I could listen to him talk about anything for days. He's a very educated individual and not afraid to offer his opinion if he feels informed enough on the subject.

[Plubby]

After pondering a moment: ^ I agree with this man ^

EDIT: Youtubing some of his Vancouver press conferences, and, well, the difference between the...erm...charisma of the Canucks' front office then and now is palpable.

[SeanDMan]

Well, I like listening to Gillis talk because of the subject matter, but he's much less... uh, informal... than Burke was. Burke was a man who spoke his mind. Saying his team looked like heroin addicts because of all that cuts and scrapes all over their arms and legs due to Detroit assaulting them was amazing.

[Plubby]

On a not-unrelated note, I like talking about the Leafs and Brian Burke when all the Leafs fans are asleep.

[SeanDMan]

Don't have to dodge cumshots this way. >_>

Are you a Leafs fan? How's that going for you?

[Ruki]

You're talking about the Leafs?! :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:

AREN'T THEY LIKE THE BEST TEAM EVER?! I WANNA MARRY ALL OF THEM

But seriously? That video is amazing, I wish I could see the full thing. I need to watch more of his press conferences, I just like his way with words. I hope he'll be the Leafs GM until....he retires? Dies? The world ends? I dunno, but I want him there for a long time!

[Mountainous Cleavage]

Of course I know Z and Seguin are teammates, you buffoons

I wish that video with Burke was longer, it was good and I was just getting into it.

EDIT: There's another 4-minute clip of that interview on that guys site - or Here

Carey Price single handedly wins the Breakaway contest with his antics. My god, I was in stitches. Corey Perry was pretty good too. Thought the cape and glasses was a bit.. much at first, but once he did what he did, it worked great.

Holy fuck Chara. 108.8mph, and didn't have a single shot under 106 which alone beat his record.

[Mountainous Cleavage]

Carey Price made a fan outta me.

[TGWL]

Carey Price made me hate him even more.

[Guest mr. potato head]

Then you must have no sense of fun.

[Mountainous Cleavage]

Yeah, it was all in good fun.

Price even said at one point that he didn't want to try poke-checking anyone because he didn't want to take the chance for someone to get hurt. Respect to the guy (Y)

All Star Game is getting ready to kick off, lets go Team Chara!
