Legion15 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 the flyers phags are eating this up. they moved their forum to eaglesphans.com. they seem to be getting off to it. or just reading into it too much. they're even going so far as to predict Parise will be gone by 2012. Philly is such a haven for morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb00rs Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Kovy ain't leaving the Devils period. The only thing this can change is who the Devils have to trade and MAYBE how much money they can give Parise. But chances are the Devils win this case and nothing changes.

cubanjd305 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Sh!t like this makes sports tougher and tougher to deal with. The NBA does nothing about a ref fixing games, MLB and FIFA refuse to use technology to get calls right, and the NHL arbitrarily applies rules only when they hurt the teams they don't like. I'd like to take the moral high ground and abandon the sport completely because of this, speak with my wallet and all that, but you know what? I'm too fvcking pissed and too fvcking loyal to this team. Maybe sports should just be fun, and maybe there are multiple real problems and it's not fair or logical of me to get this emotional about a game, but this season just became a war. I want to run up scores, and flip off the other teams. I want Leblond to intentionally injure Crosby, Ovie, and anyone important on an original 6 team. I want Lou to bring back Peters if Leblond gets suspended. I want Stevens to go to the league office and kill Bettman. But more than any of that, I want to win this cup to prove to the league that, no matter how much they want to, they can't kill the fvcking Devils. They tried to send us to Nashville, they changed the rules to hurt our players, they stood in our way when we tried to sign a legal contract (and I hear what tri and 731 are saying about the terms, and the legality, but if we were a sexier team, the NHL would turn the other way), but we have a proud team, the best fvcking GM in the sport, and, no matter what every assh0le fan from everywhere else says, a fan base I'd go to war with in a second. It's time for all of us to band together against the world. Fvck speaking with my wallet, I'm going to more games this year, and I'll travel with the team so I can laugh at every other fvcking fan when we kick their asses. This is supposed to be fun, and maybe it will be, but the NHL has done the best they can to suck the fun out of the game for Devils fans, and the only way I see it being worth it is if we can laugh in their fvcking faces drinking kool-aid out of the cup. :clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avs21 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 If I were Ilya Kovalchuk I would spend all of my cash on "potato" vodka and russian hookers. Not too mention the fact his tone of communication is composed of Kavkaz and Tatarin descent. We call them churkas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS-SS Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I think its going to arbitration.I don't see Lou backing of this deal. Lou is Lou and I think Lou might just be pissed off right now (just as much as we are) and he will IMO be looking to keep this deal just for the sake of giving Bettman a big big F-U.
