I used to watch Hockey back in the late 90's, but that was when the NY Rangers were good. I watched a Rangers vs Ducks game at Madison Square Garden and it was a blast. However, haven't been following them as much in the last few years. Funny thing about the Rangers/Ducks game was that I was rooting for the Ducks (and they won) 'cause I was a big fan of Paul Kariya and the Finnish Flash, Teemu Selanne. So yeah, I'm so so so happy that Teemu finally got to hold the Stanley Cup. Congrats to the Ducks! As for the trades, I haven't followed closely though I should as two Devils players just went to the Rangers.
My fave name in Hockey has to be Miroslav Satan. I really hope he gets traded to the NJ Devils one day just because. XD
Check out where I live in my profile for an answer to the question raised in the first post.
@Nocture: Coming season, you should watch the Rangers again. They are loaded.
@Adam: You're in Canada...?
yep, adam's from Canada, so that means YES xD
been watching the habs mostly...and I follow the NHL more or less. too bad the habs went downhill since january >_> a buffalo-montreal series would've been much more fun to watch than what the relatively boring islanders-sables one... oh well o__o; . Not much trades/actions this offseason so many people are scared x__x; (but I have faith!! xD)
btw any team you're rooting for, 仮面の軍勢??
Im a hardcore Ducks/Selanne fan. So happy they won the cup this year. But I live in Vancouver LOL! So my friends got so pissed at me at school. :p

Heres a funny fact. I live in Florida...warm all year round...and we have a local hockey team, lmao. I don't watch it very often and the only times I went to see our team was when my uncle got us free tickets cus he was the radio broadcaster for the team (called the Pensacola Ice Pilots btw). I liked watching the games in a way but I loved watching the fights more, lmao.

What we need is a new captain!!! :( .... *cough*Luongo!!!*cough*
At least they did better than expected last season, can't complain about that ^^

Are you talking about the Nucks? Werent they saying Mitchell, Linden or Ohlund will be Cap if Naslund goes?
I will be very very happy if Linden gets to be captain coming season, but that's the thing though ... is Naslund goin' to be gone?
No, they're keeping him for at least the coming season. If he plays well, they'll probably resign him but I highly doubt that. If Naslund goes, and Linden will probably become C if he doesnt retire.
*Revives long time dead thread*
Someone besides me has to be looking forward to the playoffs. Where are all you Canadians? :\

HELL YEAH OVECHKIN'S GONNA PWN <3
Guy just tore up the freaking league this year.
My favorite team is the Avalanche. Hopefully Forsberg can pull them up enough to get somewhere in the playoffs.
My teams are the Ducks in the west and the Caps in the east. I think the Ducks have a chance to go all the way to the SCF again, and I have high hopes for the Ovechkings to go deep into the playoffs.
I'd place my money on the Avs/Wild series being really close.
Dizzy
04-09-2008, 12:36 AM
I dunno, San Jose can probably give Anaheim a run for their money. Pretty sure it'll be one of them, unless Detroit can stop their annual playoff fail. And anyone could come out on top in the East, but the Washington Ovechkins are easily my favorite. Wish Kovalchuk could carry some Thrashers deeper in D:
And yeah, the Avs and the Wild are going to be a hell of a battle. I'd lawl if it was a reverse of '03 (Avs had the 3rd Seed and the Wild had the 6th, and the Wild came back down 3-1 to take it in 7).
I fully expect Anaheim and San Jose to meet up this post-season, and I fully expect whoever wins that series to go on to win the cup. The Wings will just choke like they always do.
Kovalchuk has said he wants a change by next season. He's probably pissed about never winning a playoff game in six seasons. Pretty sure he wants to be traded.

I just recently started getting into Hockey. I have always been a huge Basketball, Football and Baseball fan and hockey never really interested me. But as of late I have REALLY started to like it and am looking forward to the playoffs.
Dizzy
04-09-2008, 03:54 AM
I could've seen the Thrashers slipping into the playoffs if Don Waddell hadn't decided to coach as well as be GM. That was just a terrible mistake -_-
They should've done everything in their power to keep Savard, too. The entire organization's just been awful.
Hopefully Kovalchuk can get more consistent, Kozlov can regain his playmaking skills, and Enstrom, Esposito, and Lehtonen and develop into stars. Otherwise, they aren't going anywhere. And if Kovalchuk gets traded, they won't even qualify as a team anymore, and their only hope will be to aim for John Tavares :/
Being a Thrashers fan is painful business.
Kovalchuk really needs a playmaker center. The last time I watched a Thrashers game his center was Bobby Holik, who is a checking line center. That just won't work for a guy like Kovalchuk. Ovechkin at least has Backstrom to back him up, Kovalchuk has no one really.
Whether he becomes Hossa v.2 or not, I don't see him staying when his contract expires.

Since my team didn't make it to the playoffs this year, I'll have to default to my hometeam (Flames). Although honestly I don't have too much hope for them against San Jose. (I'm a horrible fan. XD)
My boyfriend is a HUGE Avs fan though, so I know I'll be watching every game of that series.

I'm actually looking forward to that series a lot. It should be pretty heated and physical. Still, I doubt the Sharks will have many problems. :x
Dizzy
04-09-2008, 05:15 AM
Eventually Bryan Little's going to be that center. I just hope Kovalchuk stays long enough for that to happen.
And on the Sharks/Flames series, Iginla, Regehr, Phaneuf, Kipper, and Keenan are clutch playoff guys, and the physicality of the Flames could make it interesting. The Sharks are going to win, but it could be a tight one.
Anyone want to throw down picks for tomorrow's games? I might as well, just to see how many I can get.
Pittsburgh 5 Ottawa 2, Malkin with the game-winner.
Devils 3 Rangers 1, Langenbrunner with the game-winner.
Sharks 4 Flames 3, Marleau with the game-winner.
Avs 3 Wild 2 OT, Statsny with the game-winner.
Anyone else want to give it a spin? ;o
Pittsburgh 4 Ottawa 3
Devils 2 Rangers 1 (OT)
Sharks 3 Flames 1
Avs 2 Wild 4
Too lazy to predict game winners :X
Guess I'll toss in my entire playoff bracket also.
Detroit vs. Nashville - Wings in 5
San Jose vs. Calgary - Sharks in 6
Minnesota vs. Colorado - Avs in 7
Anaheim vs. Dallas - Ducks in 6
Montreal vs. Boston - Habs in 4
Pittsburgh vs. Ottawa - Pens in 5
Washington vs. Philadelphia - Caps in 7
New Jersey vs. New York - Devils in 6
Detroit vs. Colorado - Wings in 6
San Jose vs. Anaheim - Ducks in 7
Montreal vs. New Jersey - Habs in 6
Pittsburgh vs. Washington - Caps in 7
Detroit vs. Anaheim - Ducks in 6
Montreal vs. Washington - Habs in 5
SCF: Montreal vs. Anaheim - Ducks in 6

Well, we were sure wrong about Devils-Rangers. 4-1 (Callahan with the game-winner), what a slaughter.
One of my friends brought up a couple of points for the Rangers - they've gone 7-1 against the Devils this season, Lundqvist has a sparkling record against them (10 goals against in 9 games), and they have 3 scoring lines to roll, with Gomez, Jags, Shanahan, Drury, Straka, Dawes, Avery, and Dubinsky, and the top 7 defensemen of Roszival, Backman, Malik, Staal, Mara, Tyutin, and Girardi is rock-solid too. Hell, even though they don't have a superstar or anything, they could give Anaheim a run for their money.
And here I didn't even know most of these guys' names.
Meanwhile, the Devils roll Parise, Elias, Madden, Zubrus, Langenbrunner, Gionta, and Zajac on offense, and Martin, White, and Oduya on defense. Brodeur, as good as he is, won't be able to steal the series. He's getting old now and wasn't too great for last year's playoffs. Hell, he won't even match Lundqvist's skills.
Methinks I might have underestimated them Rangers :zomg
Pens 4 Sens 0 (Roberts with the game-winner) isn't too far off from mine I guess, though I figured that the team with the second-most goals in the league (1 behind the Habs) could score at least once. Guess not. Roberts and Malkin cleaned up pretty well though, I'd say Malkin's even better than Crosby now. This series'll probably be a brutal massacre.
I got Avs 3 Wild 2 OT (Sakic with the game-winner) right, though not the game-winner. Thought Sakic would've been too obvious, so I went for the young guy instead. Hopefully Forsberg doesn't shatter any limbs and they can get out unscathed. I'm still reeling from the time Sakic, Smyth, and Statsny were all out, with injuries to Theodore, Svatos, and Finger thrown into the mix, that was just painful. It'd be nice to have Svatos back, but the Avs can probably live as long as Theodore doesn't start sucking.
Oh, and Nick Schultz is hurt. This bodes very well for the Avs' offense. Parrish went out too, so Minnesota's depth is compromised a bit. Not like they can match the Avs anyways, though :zomg
Didn't see the Flames' 3-2 win (Yelle's game-winner) coming either. For all of the Sharks' finesse and flash and dash, Calgary's thuggery may just beat them. Iginla, Kipper, Phaneuf, and Regehr were great, though the Sharks' top scorers weren't entirely shut down either. San Jose is now on a 3-game losing streak, btw. This could be painful for them.
Now that I'm done with my boring commentary that nobody read, I guess I'll pick tomorrow's games and my playoff bracket.
Wings 4 Preds 1, Zetterberg with the game winner.
Habs 4 Bruins 2, Koivu with the game-winner.
Anaheim's 3 Dallas 2, Selanne, Schneider with the game-winner.
And San Jose will avenge themselves 4-3, with a winner from Michalek.
Round 1:
Habs in 5
Pens in 5
Caps in 6
Rangers in 6
Wings in 4
Sharks in 7
Avs in 7
Ducks in 6
Round 2:
Habs in 6
Pens in 7
Wings in 6
Ducks in 7
Round 3:
Pens in 7
Ducks in 6
Final:
Ducks in 6
So yeah :zomg
Ah. It doesn't get much better than coming home from work and reading the headline, "Flames Steal Home Ice from Sharks," at TSN.com. I'm not expecting my favorite team to pull off the major upset, but this gives me some big hope.
Hey, Dizzy, picking Sakic for the game winner is always a good idea when it comes to the Avs. Especially in OT, where nobody has done it more than Super Joe.
Dizzy
04-10-2008, 06:13 AM
Yeah, I really should've guessed. This is what, his 8th now? XD
Can't believe we have to wait so long for Ovechkin playoff action D:

04-10-2008, 06:18 AM
Dammit, why did I have to start watching hockey again. The last few minutes of the Flames/Sharks game were so intense, I could barely watch. But lo and behold, they pulled through. Yelle is my hero. :uhuh
Things are heating up here in Calgary. The car flags and jerseys are coming out, "Go Flames Go" promos are all over the radio, and the cops are starting to patrol the "Red Mile" downtown once again. The excitement will most likely not reach '04 levels again, but it's still fun while it lasts.
Watched some of the Avs/Wild and Pens/Sens games as well. Super Joe scores yet another OT winner, and the Sens look like they're going to be eaten alive - which would be enjoyable to watch if I didn't have such a strong disdain for Sidney Crosby. XD
Dizzy
04-10-2008, 06:29 AM
Lol, well Malkin's better anyways >>
Vancouver isn't all that pumped since we're out, though most of us don't care about our Canucks that much, apart from Luongo and the Sedins, and have real teams to cheer for :XD
Well, it is April. Maybe the Sharks are ready to hang up their skates and hit the golf like every year. The only time the Sharks looked alive was during the last couple minutes of the game. Well, I guess they looked okay at other times, but they seemed to really lack confidence.
Joevertime strikes again. Should have seen that coming.
Sens vs. Pens: http://assets.espn.go.com/media/apphoto/70e2b9f0-2b9f-418f-a798-7a909ced290e.jpg
Honestly, I hate both teams. If I have to see Cindy Criesby lift the cub this year I'm going to go die.
Is this becoming the new Canadian Bleachers Fan Club?
Yeah, I really should've guessed. This is what, his 8th now? XD
Can't believe we have to wait so long for Ovechkin playoff action D:
Oh yeah, it's Sakic's 8th. Joe Sakic is so awesome. It was amazing two years ago when he got his record-breaking 7th Playoff OT winner but didn't initially claim to have scored it. Video review revealed the truth, but Sakic tried to give the credit to one of his teammates at first, though he must have known he touched the puck. He's awesome.
Besides following the Flames, Washington is the team I'm most interested in now. Is Ovechking going to have immediate success? Considering how jubilant he is when he scores a regular, empty-net goal, just how mental would he go to score a playoff goal? Too bad I'll be at work when the game's on TSN.
Dizzy
04-11-2008, 01:44 AM
Looking pretty epic right now. I was close to calling the Wings, plus I picked the game-winner :zomg
The Habs too, though I didn't realize Koivu wasn't playing this one.
Anaheim and San Jose are gonna be interesting though. Namely because the Ducks are the leading Stanley Cup candidate and the Sharks desperately need to avenge themselves or risk going down the drain right away.
I don't hate Crosby, I just think he's hella overrated and can't compare to Ovechkin or Malkin. And he sure as hell isn't touching Gretzky's records. But the reputation as a whiner/diver isn't really deserved. I've heard both sides of the story, and I don't think he's a baby or anything :/
And yeah, Sakic is just amazing. If he hadn't been injured three months, he easily could've taken the Avs to the top of the division. And if he wasn't here right now, I'd call it Wild in 6, Forsberg or no. Right now, he's everything to that team.
Know what would be awesome? The Avs fighting their way to the Stanley Cup Finals (coming back from a 3-1 deficit in games against Minnesota on the way), and then going down 3-0 against the Habs. And then, Patrick Roy somehow comes out of retirement and shuts out the last four. Followed by the entire city of Montreal lynching Mario Tremblay :zomg
My god, that would be the most awesome thing ever :wtf
I hope Anaheim will learn a lesson from this game v_v
Dizzy
04-11-2008, 05:11 AM
Something tells me my pick was wrong :zomg
Turco was brilliant, the Ducks played terribly, and Nabokov came out and shut out the Flames. Could be a harbinger for a low-scoring playoff :/
Picks for tomorrow:
Wild 2 Avs 1, Gabs with the winner.
Caps 5 Flyers 3, Oves with the winner.
Pens 3 Sens 1, Malks with the winner.
Rangers 2 Devils 0, Drurs with the winner.
Giving these guys monosyllabic nicknames ending in S is harder than when it was Zets, Pleks, Nieds, and Leks >>
All I have to say:
OVECHKIN FUCK YEAH! MIKE GREEN FUCK YEAH!

o__O;; Roy will have to lose about 50 pounds lol because you can notice he's gained plenty of weight since retiring xD;;
(just see him now and him in '86... the difference is simply stunning...)
and you're completely wrong. Having the cup back where it belongs (Canada) would be 200 times as awesome :D
Avs/Wild is an amazing series so far. Koivu has been an absolute beast.
yep...! Must've learned that from his hab brother Saku >=D

I dunno, maybe he could gain enough weight to block the entire net >>
Well I was surprisingly close with all my picks, expect the Pens and Sens, which was way off. And I would've picked Minnesota to win 3-2, but my friend did first, so I just switched over to 2-1 :p
Anyways, might as well throw out picks for tomorrow.
Wings 2 Preds 0, Holms with the winner.
Ducks 3 Stars 1, Getz with the winner.
Habs 4 Bruins 1, Higgs with the winner.
PS: YES, OVECHKIN AND GREEN ARE TEH AWESOMES :zomg
The Ducks are playing with no heart out there. Couple that with the Stars playing great, and we are looking at a first round exit. I feel like jumping on the Sharks bandwagon.
God, I am so pissed. We have absolutely zero chemistry going out there. The entire team has caught a case of Bertuzzitis.
Dizzy
04-13-2008, 05:21 AM
Well, my picks sure were all over the place for today -_-
Ducks are hurting badly, they showed a bit of heart while they were tying up the game, and then just all but gave up. And they haven't even headed out to the road yet. Painful stuff there. Hopefully they can rebound and take it, and hopefully Giguere can step it up, because at the moment, they need him to carry the team.
Nearly forgot picks ... well actually I did forget them, but you know what I mean ...
Flyers 4 Caps 3 OT, with a winner from Mike Richards
Habs 3 Bruins 0, with a winner from Tomas Plekanec
Devils 2 Rangers 1 OT, with a winner from Jamie Langenbrunner
Sharks 3 Flames 1, with a winner from Brian Campbell
San Jose Sharks... more like San Jose Canucks. Lol blowing a 3 goal lead like that. Great game.
Dizzy
04-14-2008, 06:37 AM
Wow, my picks were awful two days in a row. Kinda surprised o:
The Sharks game must've been painful to watch for their fans. Such is the fate of being a Stanley Cup favorite who self-destructs come every spring -_-
Might as well throw out new picks, as inaccurate as they might be.
Avs 3 Wild 1, Statsny with the winner
Pens 3 Sens 2 OT, Hossa with the winner
Wings 3 Preds 2, and I'll say ... Dan Cleary with this winner :zomg

Maybe it was awful for Sharks fans. For me, it was pure joy to watch...'cept for the first fifteen minutes.
The Sharks game must've been painful to watch for their fans.
...unless you're cheering for Calgary, of course :D
btw anyone saw Don Cherry's segment in Hockey Night in Canada tonight?? t'was...strange to say the least o___o praising Marc Savard for talking to his stick and saying we should all 'love our sticks'.. heh xD; It just sounded...so...wrong...in every possible way

I feel sick. Good thing they will be gone soon.
Dizzy
04-15-2008, 03:29 AM
... what the hell was that -_-
I feel dirty for liking that team D:
In other news, my picks look terrible so far. Luckily, my Avs are winning and that eases the pain.
@edit: DAMN IT, I HATE YOU BRENT BURNS!
@update: DAMN IT, I HATE YOU BRIAN ROLSTON!
I have to admit, this is my favorite first round series so far. ANOTHER overtime. I got Sakic or Koivu with the winner.
Dizzy
04-15-2008, 04:31 AM
Update again: THANK GOD FOR SAKIC D:
I hope he ups the overtime winner count to 9 :yay
Update again again: GOD DAMN IT, I HATE YOU BOUCHARD AND I HATE THE WILD D:<
UGH.
AS GOOD AS THEODORE HAS BEEN LATELY, WHAT KIND OF GOALIE LETS IN TWO GOALS EVERY. THIRD. PERIOD. ARRRRRGH
Since the Ducks are most likely gone I think I'm going to jump on the Wild bandwagon as my Western team. <:

Though with their third-period screwups every game, I don't even know what to expect anymore -_-
I'm too busy watching the Sharks choke to watch that slaughter. :x

You know, suddenly that article begins to have some merit :XD
Well, when you have Boogaard and Simon on your roster and are down 5-0 you might as well goon it up. :X
Dizzy
04-16-2008, 04:14 AM

And the first eliminated team.... ze Sens!!!!! any comment on that? best start in NHL history (or something like that) yet.... complete meltdown
And the sens complete their half season long choke job.
Apparently Alfredsson was playing with a 3rd degree torn MCL. Have to admire the guys heart. Still, I hate the sens so I am glad :p
Dizzy
04-17-2008, 02:45 AM
They only had 2 goals in the 2 games they had Alfredsoon-Spezza-Heatley intact, too. How sad, considering how Fleury and the Pens' defense aren't very good.
They had to pay for the Spartans thing, though :hm
And the Preds tie up the series. I would love to see them eliminate the Wings, even if it probably won't happen.

eeh, well sens' offense really sucked in the end of the season so I'm not too surprised. The Pens' D and Fleury have been OK so far... not particularly good though. Sens really, really, really sucked.
lol what was so wrong with the spartan thingy?? xD; I didn't see it so...
And the Preds tie up the series. I would love to see them eliminate the Wings, even if it probably won't happen.
hmmm... I dunno, since they got the last 2 wins, they kinda have the momentum now... I wouldn't be surprised to see either team win though

Damn, this is getting ugly.
The Ducks, Ovechkins, and Habs all lose, and the first two are on the brink :/
Luckily for me, my capacity for caring is lessened by the fact the Avs just won, on a Statsny goal too, and they can finish it off at home next game :3
They were also outshot 40-17. My respect for Jose Theodore has gone from negative levels to over 9000 in the past few weeks.

According to a friend, Nashville has never once won a playoff away game. If that's true, I don't like their chances here D:
Well not that I had very high hopes for them in the beginning, but 2-game bandwagons are hard to resist. Plus as an Avs fan, I just really hate Detroit.

Have to admit, this series was all Theodore. If he'd played just a bit worse, the Avs would've been done for, the offense was just that bad. Though Minnesota's hellish defense didn't exactly help.

He and Theodore should be back next game apparently, but Wolski's out for the entire series. This after Svatos went out forevers too, I'm starting to think the Avs have assassins after them.

You have to admit, that was total injury hell. Forsberg, Statsny, Wolski, Smyth, Svatos Hannan, Clark, and Theodore, all damned good players and all injured for most/all of the series or in Theodore's sick enough with the flu for Game 1 to drop his hot streak into an icy hell.
Not saying they didn't get outplayed, considering the shot total and all, but they easily should've taken it to 6, maybe 7, and had an outside chance at an upset.
Bleh, also annoyed that Budaj didn't get a chance until it was too late. Not that he did himself any favors, but he was great in the first two games.
Anyways, I'm betting that the vast majority has hopped onto the Detroit bandwagon, so I guess I'll hit up the Stars next. They've been looking pretty good against the Sharks so far.
I was expecting a closer series between the Detroit and Colorado but I guess injuries plague Colorado in this series. Theodore actually surprised me this season since he got Colorado to the playoffs but he lost his composure in the last game letting in some soft goals. Anyways I think it will be Detroit and Penguins or Montreal in the cup finals. And the Dallas Detroit series will probably be a good one to watch. As for the eastern side I was expecting a sweep between Pens and Rangers but rangers somehow won last game(AVERY piece of crap.....) and the Montreal and Philly series is very surprising for I can’t believe Flyers are ahead. I look forward to the draft this year and see what happens to some teams during the off seasons.
And back to Dallas we go!

Pens win in game 7. Crosby scores the cup winner in the shootout. All goes according to Buttman's plan.

^that will never happen Detroit is going to win the cup they can match the Pens firepower up front and as for the Blueline Detroit by far has the better Blueline.
As for Crosby scoring the game winner in a shootout I don't think thats possible since there are no shootouts in the playoffs just Overtime until there is a winner.
Well game one between the two teams start today so we'll see how the first game will turn out.

And when did Fleury and Osgood get so good, they sucked last time I checked. I claim steroids.
WOW way closer game then I expected it's only 1-0 for Detroit and it's the end of the 2nd period.
That goal obviously shouldn't have counted. Fleury had an obvious kicking motion when he put it in the net. Bad refs.

Bettman needs to make a rule mid-game outlawing the use of Holmstrom's butt. Call it the Sean Avery Rule Wannabe.
From The Onion:
http://www.theonion.com/content/files/images/features_hockey.article.jpg
edit: Swedish Wings are 2 KOOL 4 SKOOL.
I predict that Samuelsson will singlehandedly outscore the Pens in this series.
edit 2: Lawl, Samuelsson just literally got raped by Gill. Literally on top of him, in buttsecks position :lmao
Red Wings are like some kind of bloody Swedish machine. Was an Ikea manufacturing plant a required field trip for the entire staff or something?
edit 3: Last hurrah for the Pens, watch as a ref catches the puck and says a Wing shot it over the glass.
edit 4: Wings take this 4-0. Too bad for Fleury, he was great until he self-destructed those last two minutes.
Samuelsson took a lot of punishment this game, I've got some newfound respect for the Wings now. Playing like they had the puck on a string the entire time.
Plus they shut Crosby and Malkin down, automatically making their wingers useless too. Well, maybe Malkin just sucked.
Still, great game from the Swedish machine.
WOW 4-0.
The more I watch Holmstrum the more I hate that guy, He's such a dirty player and Samuelsson another amazing player that Detroit has. Just love all the late European draft picks they made. As for there blue I gotta say they really improve with the acquisition of Brad Stuart.
Penguins defense... lolz.

Yes I was expecting a high scoring game from both teams certainly Detroit is doing it but the Pens aren't. I thought the Pens offense would be able to get pass Detroit blueline but I guess not. Only chance of Pens to get some scoring is if Detroit puts Hasek in net.

The Filppula goal was epic, just another example of a single Wing outworking two Pens and the goalie.
Didn't realize the Pens were so dirty either, though when you have Jarkko Ruutu on your team, I guess anything can happen.
Also, Osgood's a pussy, Roberts barely even clipped him in the shoulder and he falls like a sack of potatoes and doesn't get up for ten seconds, what a joke.
edit: Crosby with a goal, can you believe it? :zomg
edit2: That's two for him now :zomg
Detroit's playing like ... well, Pittsburgh. Not very good.
edit3: One from Franzen, the Swedish machine.
Fleury blows.
Zetterberg wins the Smyth.
'Nuff said.
Well Detroit Won! Awesome last two games between these to game Fleury let in a weak goal today but other then that he was amazing in this game and especially last game.

yeah even last night, the crowd was yelling Fleury, Fleury!! or was it Crosby, Crosby?!!! anyway, the wings deserve it. their system is quite good!
I was hoping that Pitts. would win and push it to a game 7, but alls well that ends well
The red wings looked great all season (from what Sportscenter showed:heehee) so they deserved it:D
Last year, Phillips own goal was the cup winner.
This year it was Fleury's ass that got the job done.

Just bumping this back up to herald the beginning of the NHL's preseason. I see Brandon Bochenski is tearing it up, watch as he becomes totally useless between October and August again.
And Wacey Rabbit is the greatest name ever.
Bochenski is the new Mr. October.
Oh, and there is some rumor going around that Claude Lemieux wants to come back.
yep. It's been confirmed that he wants to come back.... but then again, would anyone take him? (at 43 years old...)

Linking to it like that doesn't really work. :x
Maybe try again later I always join the NHL.com fantasypool thing. Really can't wait to see the season start off-season was pretty interesting for some teams. I was lucky to go to a pre season game yesterday Between Calgary Flames and Phoenix Coyotes.

How about this :zomg

This showing a couple regular season games a week before any others thing is annoying me. :|
Finally season is kicking of the Thursday I can't wait to see the Calgary Flames and the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday should be and interesting season this year.

Well this might not be that interesting, but I have always been a fan of playoff hockey, it's one of the most intense sporting events of the season. Anyways I've never been a big fan of Hockey since I haven't grown up with it, but this year I decided to get NHL 09 for the xbox because I had heard it got sports game of the year awards, and I have to say it's the most fun sports game I have ever played. It's also gotten me wondering if I'll try to watch a few more games this upcoming season.
I guess perhaps I should maybe try to pick a team to follow. Any suggestions?
If you live in Oregon you are probably closest to the Sharks or Canucks, although you really aren't that close to either. :x Honestly, Bettman made a horrible deal with Versus for rights to show the NHL, so it is kind of hard to see games if you don't have a local team.
The best you can do is stream them off of http://www.hockeywebcasts.com/ or http://www3.myp2p.eu/competition.php?competitionid=&part=sports&discipline=icehockey. You can also buy Center Ice but it probably isn't worth it unless you are a hardcore hockey fan.
And I recommend the Ducks of course. :fu
Oh, and the BAP mode in NHL09 is pissing me off. 26 GP, 68 points, and I'm still in the AHL.

I'm not going to buy center ice, it's just not going to happen for me, I know games are on Versus, but really you're right, it's not a great network. I might try and follow the Canucks, I like Vancouver, I have a couple connections up there.
Thanks for the websites!

The thrashers always have horrible jerseys.

Wise decision, Spartan :fu
Ugh, I'm mortified at the sight of those jerseys, they look like grade school pinnies :devestated
Oh well, at least they aren't black.
Colorado plays tomorrow :wha

They're not as bad as the old mustard colored Nashville uni's though. Those were...ugh.

They remind me of a XFL team or a Arena Football league 2 jerseys, in other words they suck. Then again, I'm a Oregon Ducks fan, and we have something like 2,000 and something Uni combos for our football team, and they include highlighter yellow pants, tops and helmets, so maybe I shouldn't be saying anything.
Dizzy, wise decision on the team or not getting the package?

Probably both, now that I think about it.
If anyone wants to watch a lot of hockey this weekend just know that nhl gamecenter is having a free trial.
http://gamecenter.nhl.com/nhlgc/console.jsp
You have to sign up, but you can pretty much watch any game or even up to 4 games at once. Lasts until Oct 12.
Btw, lol Budaj.

AAARRRRRRGH BUDAJ D:< D:< D:<
At least you got rid of Theodore. This guy is horrid.
Well... you also got Raycroft. >_>
Flames just got their ass kicked on Thursday and Saturday Kipper is not looking to good. I'm surprised with Vancouver though they look like a really fast team during those to games and Luongo was just awesome in those two games.

That's pretty fucked up. Apparently he had some underlying heart condition that caused the whole thing. Rumor has it that the ambulance that is supposed to be at every game left early.
This really sucks. So soon after Bourdon, too.
