All-new NHL thread

Crosby is coming back tonight as the Isles. Pens could very well be the cup favorites now, if Sid can keep his brain in his head.

Well, he kept his head and that game was a bloodbath.

Poolio,

Do your Sabres wuss out again tonight? Maybe Tyler Myers could just eat Bergeron. Just unhinge his jaw on the ice and swallow him whole. THAT would send a message.

He would have to catch him first.

I bought $165 worth of Bruins Stanley Cup swag this summer, my 1972 stuff was getting lonely.

Four divisions?!

Four divisions?!

I don't like it, Rangers, Islanders, Devils should be in C, Preds, Panthers and Bolts in D, at least that way the East & West would have the same number of teams.

Conf. A (ANA, CGY, COL, EDM, LAK, PHX, SJS, VAN)
Conf. B (CHI, CBJ, DAL, DET, MIN, NSH, STL, WPG)
Conf. C (BOS, BUF, FLA, MON, OTT, TBL, TOR)
Conf. D (CAR, NJD, NYI, NYR, PHI, PIT, WSH)

I love the PatrickPlusOne Conference.  I'm reasonably happy with the SortofNorris Conference.  The other two conferences are pants.  But since I really don't care too much about any of those teams, I guess I'm cool with it overall.

[Kenneth Toilethole]

I love the new set-up. And for the more recent NHL fans, you'll soon understand how us older fans hold a burning hate for other teams, now that the playoffs go back to how they used to be. When its the same goddamn team that beats you every goddamn year you tend to hold a grudge that will NEVER go away.

Very few things are as pure as true hate.

As a CBJ fan, I'm happy with it for cutting down on the late night games. Glad that we maintain Nashville in the divis - er, conference, since they're both a decent rival and a really fun road trip for fans. And maybe someday the Detroit rivalry will be a little less one-sided and more meaningful.

James Reimer is the top vote getter for any goalie. 'nuff said

After watching an in-between period interview Columbus' John Moore, I am even more convinced if they reduce the size of the equipment, especially the NFL style shoulder pads, it will decrease the amount of concussions. He looked like David Byrne in the oversized white suit from Stop Making Sense.

I went to my first NHL game in 8 years yesterday! If I wasn't sick we might have stayed until the end, too.

The Islanders don't look like much, but neither does Calgary, and honestly I don't know what I'm looking for anyway. The only name I recognized was Iginla.

Carry on...

[Kenneth Toilethole]

Calgary vs the Islanders?!? Please accept my condolences. Can I at least pay for the therapy you're going to need? Yeesh. I hope you were paid for your time there. Personally, I would say that its still 8 years and counting.

[Dan]

Ouch. What we saw was that bad, huh?
Tickets were free at least.
Plus, there's something entertaining about the philistine nature of Islander fans.
