Well they finally came to an agreement, we are gonna have a 48 game season. I believe they will start on the 19th.
About time! [drink]

I give a shit you savage! :P
Need some decent sport on TV that doesn't require a 6 to 12 hour offset to watch.
I'm just pissed that the ESPN Winter Classic was cancelled as a result.
I was hoping to attend as my Red Wings were going to be playing as the fore-fathers intended... OUTSIDE.
Just really turned off that it took THIS long to come to an agreement....
I suppose my being turned off will fade as the games come on the tele.
I for one look forward to yelling at my TV again on a nightly basis. Go Bruins!!! [drink]

I'll take the Bruins, even with their new goal tender situation.
Unfortunately, my Red Wings look like The Dead Things and are getting their shit handed to them by the Blues tonight.

But hockey is back! [beer]
Good start!
63 more to go [thumbsup]
Pens looking good. Another game tonight. Can't wait.
On a side note, I had the glorious opportunity to work with the penguins organization on revamping and redesigning (to a point) their official website over the extended off season. It was probably the most fun I've ever had working: http://penguins.nhl.com (http://penguins.nhl.com)

Good to see Bert back & I think this Brunner kid might work out okay.
i forgot about this thread.
it only took 2 years, but philly finally beat the rangers!
as they are playing like complete shit this season that will most likely be the highlight.

is it just me or are most teams running very hot and cold?
i know the flyers are just plain sucking so far. i think Bryz is the best one on the ice.
i am happy about the result agains tthe islanders though. 7-0.
That just means there there will be a beat down of epic proportions delivered soon. And we'll probably lose Giroux, Bryz, and a player to be named at another time in that game.

Habs is an abbreviation of "les habitants," the informal name given to the original settlers of New France, dating back to the 17th Century. So it's a natural fit for the The Montreal Canadiens, established in 1909 and marketed as a French-Canadian hockey team.
Having said that, the nickname might have been the result of an error. According to NHL.com, the first man to refer to the team as "the Habs" was Tex Rickard, owner of Madison Square Garden, in 1924. Rickard apparently told a reporter that the "H" on the Canadiens' sweaters was for "Habitants." Not true. The distinctive C-wrapped-around-H logo stands for "Club de Hockey Canadien."

f-ing rangers. i hate those guys. >:(
383: The number of "hits" the Blackhawks had been credited with entering Tuesday's game, the second lowest total in the NHL. That right there should tell you everything that you need to know about the hits statistic in the NHL and how much it means to winning games. It's tough to hit people when you always have the puck. You know what else happens when you have the puck a lot?
You score a lot of goals. Speaking of which ...
75: The number of goals the Blackhawks have scored
50: The number of goals the Blackhawks have scored during 5-on-5 play
15: The number of players who have scored at least one goal.
12: The number of players who have scored at least two goals.
9: The number of wins they've received from their backup goalie, Ray Emery. He won 15 over a full season a year ago.
7: The number of games they have won by at least two goals. Which is actually kind of surprising.
5: The number of times, including Tuesday, they have scored at least five goals in a game.
More surprising is the number of games they have won by 1 goal.....I think it might around 12? They are hot as hot can be. I'm down for a Bruins-Blackhawks final ;D [evil]

- New York Rangers defenseman Marc Staal will be sidelined indefinitely with a serious eye injury he sustained after being hit in the face by a puck, the team said on Wednesday.
Staal was hit in the right eye by a deflected puck while playing against the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday, an injury that saw him collapse on the ice before skating off bleeding.
"The injury has improved significantly and (doctors) are optimistic that Marc will make a full recovery," the Rangers said in a statement.
4-0 with 12 min left in the first... C A P S!
Im surprised no one has posted this yet. Realignment has been approved by NHLPA and looking to start next season. Best part is Wings are back in the East. WooHoo

I agree but the big thing is that the Wings are back in the East which will dramatically affect the playoffs (if they make it). The travel schedule alone killed them. I also like Wings/Leafs rivalry which will certainly reignite.

A lot of good games as of late.
The Bruins need to stop this crap about getting out to 1-2 goal lead in the first and then crapping out in the 3rd.
^^ Welcome to following the Caps.
Pens in OT.
Caps in the 2nd round of a shoot out... eesh. Causin' the house here stress
Lundqvist took a hell of a shot in that game. Slap shot right to the mask - hard enough that it kocked him off his feet and that rattled him enough that he went wobbly after getting up after the initial impact. Tough mofo - kept everything out until the shoot-out even after getting blasted in the face.
The Blackhawks embarrassed the Red Wings at home.
Crosby suffers broken jaw.

bad night for Price to try out a new set a pads. Maybe working them in in practise might have been the thing to do.
I just wanted to plug www.kuklaskorner.com (//http://). it's my favorite hockey blog, and is rather Red Wings-centric.
This season has been much like every one since 2009. Did Scotty Bowman play a larger role in Ken Holland's successes? It sure looks like it.
DOH! I thought I clicked on the National Hottie League.
I am ou of here quickly I am not into men wearing shoulder pads and tight pants that play with their sticks...... ;D

Joe Pavelski, who makes a habit of embarrassing the Red Wings, gave up a weak turnover to Columbus who then scored with a minute and a half remaining in the third. This puts the CBJ well ahead of Detroit and means the Wings basically need to win 4 in a row to be in control of their own destiny, or win SOME and hope others lose.
Columbus over Detroit. Someone tell Ken Holland that making moves at the trade deadline can make your team better.

Wings Win!!
We got a little help last night with San Jose beating Dallas. We now need Dallas to return the favor and beat Columbus tomorrow night.
A win against Nashville would also help.

maybe i need glass's but i don't see the elbow.Thank god Huskins brought his head up at the last minute or he'd be in a coma. The ref shouldn't have stepped in so soon, he should have let foster beat on him a little first.
Tough to tell from that angle - I can't really see the elbow either but seems the folks at eye level could.
Caps go through... playoffs again!
Well, the Wings kept the streak alive and the Bruins choked.
Except for the 10pm game times, I'm looking forward to the Wings/Ducks series. I can't wait until next season, only 10 or so late game starts. And then none in the playoffs.
Great game by the 'Wild', I thought they were gonna take game 1. [clap]
Quick gave it away in OT.
Ducks take game 1. [clap] Octopus [roll]
The Pens are lighting it up. The experts say its gonna be the Pens against the Blackhawks.
First time in 20yrs the original 6 were in the playoffs. [clap]
Does a bear shit in the woods? Did the Bruins just take a dump on the leafs? Yes & Yes :D
Alrighty then! Caps Rangers this evening. Don't cause me stress Caps

Unlike other team that are rebuilding (**cough** Colorado **cough**), the Red Wings made the playoffs.
The series is 2-1 in favor of the higher ranked team.

Etem's goal was was as bad for the Wings as the goal off of Smith.
As an aside, is it just me or is it ironic that the 2 (arguably) dirtiest players on the Ducks were the whiniest pregnant doges after the last Ducks penalty?

I'm just happy they beat the Ducks. I'm even happier that they didn't blow another lead and have to leave it to OT. I can feel my hair getting gray every time they go to OT.
They played Chicago tough all season, except for one game. The other three were all OT/SO losses. I think this is gonna be a good series and it'll probably be closer than most people expect. Plus, the Wings also have Joel Quenville's number. He hasn't beaten them is the playoffs in 5 tries.

Besides, isn't it a proven fact that most Red Wings fans live as far away from Detroit and they possibly can?

I honestly don't think Detroit is as bad as people make it out to be.
However, for a multitude of reasons, I choose to live in Denver.
Well, it was a tale of two games tonight.
Toronto proved that it can set records in the postseason by being the first team to give up a 3 goal lead in the third period in a Game 7, ever, and lose the game. The defensemen should be tarred and feathered for completely abandoning their goalie in the final 5 minutes of the game.
The Rangers, on the other hand, proved that if you play together as a team, you can play a nearly perfect game, two games in a row.
I did 5 celebratory happy dances during the game.
Nothing made me happier than seeing Ovechkin hanging his head for the vast majority of the game.
He's a useless tool of a player.
But then again, I grew up as a Ranger fan, and I'll always be one.
GO RANGERS!!!
BC.
make the beast with two backsing rangers...
Toronto gave that game away.
I love hockey & playoff hockey is even better.
I was jumping on my couch and yelling obscenities at the TV for the last 10 mins of that game! Epic comeback by the B's. Bruins/Rangers should be a good series.

Today was a great day, on several levels:
First, my fiance's wedding band finally arrived at the jewelry place.
Then I found out that the Rangers told that waste of a human that he's fired (Tortorella).
And finally, capped off with Detroit being voted off the island by the Hockey Gods.
What a great day!

Hawks take game 1 against the defending champs.
Still hearing cricket sounds in Hokey Town. :-*
Out of the country.
At times, way beyond any communication.
Didn't see games 5, 6 or 7.
IMO, the 7th-seeded Wings taking the top- seeded 'Hawks to game seven in the second round was a big success for a re-building team.
Next year will be better for Detroit.
Another win for the B's!
Goalies are earning their paychecks tonight (under 6 minutes left in 2 OT).

of course, I say that as a Boston fan who predicted (halfway through the season) that they would never make a deep run in the playoffs this year.

This series was the bruin's season in a nutshell. They can play strong defense and shut teams out, score goals with the best of them, but they can't seem to close things out in the third. At least it was to the hawks and not some crap team.
