2006/2007 NHL Thread

[DoucheMeister]

Whistles and commercial breaks.

[Fred Told Me]

Whatever works for you.

I know for me personally if my team was playing in the Cup Finals, I would be to in to the game to even remember to go to the bathroom during commercials nevermind being on the computer.

Hell I wouldn't even think about posting during a game in early December. But we are all different.

However there are games where I post in early December... guilty.


Ps. Youngblood is the cheesiest movie ever and I'm still watching it.

[DoucheMeister]

Game 2 starts in about an hour, they HAVE to win tonight.

[Sack of Chisels]

Here's a shocker..
The Pittsburgh Penguins will announce tomorrow that Sidney Crosby will be named the team's captain.

At 19, Crosby will become the youngest captain in NHL history.

In just his second season, Crosby led the National Hockey League with 120 points while guiding the Penguins to their first playoff berth since 2001.

The Penguins have gone captain-less since Mario Lemieux's second retirement in January 2006.

Crosby has served as an alternate captain since midway through his rookie season.

Here's a shocker..

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=209375

No argument that he is a huge talent, but I don't think he is captain material.

At least not yet.

[maxeypad]

crosby is going to be REALLLLLY good....

[Jimmy's Dignity]

hey, it's Tommy Vercetti! "I work out with a lot of these..umm..hockey guys"

[FAZ8218]

hey, it's Tommy Vercetti! "I work out with a lot of these..umm..hockey guys"
Hahahahahaha.

I totally want this game to go 0-0 into 4 overtimes.

[Sack of Chisels]

aside from that 1 powerplay the sens have nothing going in this game. and spezza looks horrible.
i can't see them winning this game.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

ratfuckasscunt

Turnovers kill...but that was a fucking beautiful shot

[TheJerseyDevil]

Emery played that angle basically as bad as any goalie could. Haha Versus keeps showing that asshole doing the hand guns.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

Did you guys hear that when they crashed the net?

Anaheim Forward: Hey ref! That shoulda been a penalty!
Ottawa D: Aww fuck off!

holy shit was that close! 2 golden scoring chances and they get nothing :(

[TheJerseyDevil]

Holy Fuckcocks Shaeffer Had That

okay...so who else thinks that their prediction of Ottawa in 6 or 7 is going to hell in a hand basket?

[DoucheMeister]

Fuck.

Sens looked flat most of the night. 15 shots.

Need to win 4 out of 5 now.....

Fuck.

[Sack of Chisels]

Wow terrific game, Emery was good along with sens D, but you can play all the D you want but it doesn't mean shit if you can't score.

Once again I must say that the one amazing duck penalty kill in the first was the difference in the game.

[Fred Told Me]

okay...so who else thinks that their prediction of Ottawa in 6 or 7 is going to hell in a hand basket?

Even though Ottawa is down 2-0 and I definently thought they would take a game in Anaheim, I wouldn't count them out just yet. They could have easily won both games and it's going to be a different story in Ottawa. I will still stand by my original prediction of Anaheim in 7.

[DoucheMeister]

I think they will take both in Ottawa. But the big line has to start performing in this series.

Not ready to give up yet.

[Beeman99]

BlackBerry owner re-activates his agreement with Hamilton, Ont to use their "main arena" (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=2889504)

Balsillie given rights for Hamilton sports complex

You've just got to love this bit of irony.

Two days after NHL commissioner Gary Bettman scoffed at the likelihood of the Nashville Predators moving in the next year or two, and specifically scoffed at the notion they're headed to Southern Ontario, some news seems to suggest that is exactly the plan.

At a City of Hamilton council meeting Wednesday night, Canadian mega-millionaire Jim Balsillie, whose company helped develop the BlackBerry, reactivated an agreement with the city for exclusive rights to the city's main arena, Copps Coliseum. Hamilton mayor Fred Eisenberger said he and Balsillie talked about the agreement.

"He has assured me that he wants to secure a team and he is interested in bringing it to Hamilton," Eisenberger was quoted as saying Wednesday night in the Hamilton Spectator. "Certainly he has the resources to do it and we will leave it up to him to pull it together."

Balsillie has made an offer to purchase the Predators from current owner Craig Leipold. (**Leipold confirms the sale to Balsillie ** (http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20070524.wsptpreds24/BNStory/GlobeSportsHockey/)) Given the team's declining attendance and scarcity of corporate support in the community, the team could be in a position as early as next summer to break its lease with the city of Nashville and relocate.

Balsillie, whose operation is in Southern Ontario, has been long-rumored to wanting an NHL franchise in the area. But in Bettman's "state of the union" address before Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals Monday, the commissioner insisted such talk was pure speculation and that Balsillie told Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly he has no plans to move the Predators.

"I met with Mr. Balsillie last week. Bill Daly and I both did, and I specifically asked him whether or not he had specific plans or intentions with respect to moving the franchise, and he told me he did not," Bettman told reporters Monday. "And so, I think there's been entirely too much speculation in terms of what comes next.

"What's clear to me from meeting with Mr. Balsillie is that he's passionate about the game, would like to own a franchise, and certainly has the resources to do it. Beyond that, there have been no promises. There have been no predictions. And I think if anybody believes that [Nashville] is destined to a particular location, that's more a matter of speculation."

But talk is cheap, which is why Balsillie's renewed control of Copps Coliseum as it relates to the NHL seems to contradict Bettman's position.

The long-held theory has been that if Balsillie's more than generous offer to buy the Predators ($220 million) is green-lighted by the NHL's board of governors by the end of June and the Predators escape their lease, he would like to move the team into Copps Coliseum until a new facility can be built somewhere in the area outside the protected zones of both the Buffalo Sabres and Toronto Maple Leafs.

Earlier news reports say Balsillie has purchased a plot of land in the Waterloo area, a plot of land west of Toronto that could conceivably house a new NHL-sized arena.

Hands up for those who believe this is all a strange coincidence. No? Didn't think so.

Okay...benefits are as follows:
a franchise moves from the US to Canada!
Another team for Leafs fans to hate
no more of those fucking atrocious mustard jerseys
No worries of seeing the word "Nashville" etched onto the Stanley Cup

[DoucheMeister]

I really hope this goes through.

[Sack of Chisels]

What a game so far.. the sens are finally waking up. but they got really lucky with that Alfredsson goal... so many plays just like that have not counted. (Rachunek)

Spezza in an Eaves jersey = lol

[FullBallz]

This series is amazing. It's a shame that the ratings don't reflect that because 1 of the teams is Canadian.

What the fuck Hull? You're going to complain about something that should've been called a no-goal? Apparently 1999 was erased from his memory when he joined NBC. Unreal. I want Roenick in there ASAP instead of this douche. At least Roenick's funny.

Wow, that was dirty by Pronger. That was different than the Holmstrom hit. That was clean, this was a blatant elbow and dirty. Also, how do the refs not see that??

[Fuck Crosby]

I think Chris Pronger will be getting another suspension

[Barely Legal]

If anything, that Pronger hit woke the Sens the fuck up. They became a much more aggressive team after that hit.

[TheJerseyDevil]

I think Chris Pronger will be getting another suspension
Haha best wackbag name ever. Ottawa is alive, great game tonight.

[DoucheMeister]

That was awesome last night, Sens fnally woke up. They will win the next one too, and start a best of 3.

I hope fucking Pronger gets a suspension.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

the game's being replayed right now on Universal HD (if you have Cablevision)

[Jimmy's Dignity]

Pronger gets lucky as sin, only receives 1 game suspension (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/playoffs2007/news/story?id=2891896)

Pronger suspended for hit to head on McAmmond

Anaheim defenseman Chris Pronger received a one-game suspension Sunday for his hit to the head of Ottawa forward Dean McAmmond in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals.

Pronger, also given a one-game ban during the Western Conference finals, leveled McAmmond with a forearm Saturday night in the Ducks' 5-3 loss to the Senators. He will miss Game 4 of the series, that Anaheim leads 2-1, on Monday night. He is eligible to return for Game 5 back in Anaheim on Wednesday.

It is the sixth career NHL suspension for the 6-foot-6, 220-pound, hard-hitting All-Star and the second in these playoffs. During the previous round against Detroit, Pronger was banned for Game 4 after his hit to the head of Red Wings forward Tomas Holmstrom against the boards.

"The positives that Chris Pronger brings to the table far outweigh the negatives," Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said moments after the announcement. "We live with the suspension and we move forward."

Pronger wasn't penalized on the ice for either of the hits that led to his suspensions.

"A variety of factors were considered in reaching this decision," NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell said. "Mr. Pronger used his forearm to deliver a forceful hit to the head of his opponent. Also, his actions caused injury to his opponent."

McAmmond -- seven inches and 30 pounds smaller than Pronger -- was struck as he skated with the puck toward the Ducks net. He did a spin, fell backward, struck his head on the ice, and slid into the corner in the Anaheim zone at 2:01 of the third period.

"When I look at it, there are plusses and minuses to 6-foot-6," Campbell said. "Just because you have a height advantage doesn't mean you can deliver an elbow to the head.

"To us, an elbow to the head is a dangerous play regardless of the player's size."

McAmmond briefly lost consciousness, Senators coach Bryan Murray said, but there was no official announcement that the veteran of 14 NHL seasons sustained a concussion.

After receiving medical attention for several minutes, a dazed and woozy McAmmond was helped to the dressing room and didn't return. His status for Game 4 is questionable at best.

"McAmmond doesn't look promising," Senators coach Bryan Murray said Sunday before the suspension was levied.

Campbell said he had "no doubt" McAmmond was knocked out on the ice.

"We think it was totally unintentional. The league thought different," Carlyle said. "Chris Pronger is a competitive player. Some people will say he's using his size as an excuse.

"The fact of the matter is his elbows are higher than most people's elbows. It's not like he raised his elbow to deliver a blow to the head."

after seeing the hit, I thought it was totally intentional. And once again, the refs don't bother calling a penalty...fucking atrocious. I hate the "oh he's just a big guy" arguement that people always put out there. Zdeno Chara is even bigger than Pronger, and you don't see him elbowing people in the head like that...

1hzlI1TqL6w

[DoucheMeister]

Should have been 3 games, especialy since it is his second time in a couple of weeks.

Oh well, better than nothing, I guess.

And the hit fired up the Sens.

[maxeypad]

god this schedule for the finals fucking sucks.....

[Fred Told Me]

Why? Besides the fact that they started later than they should have. The schedule is the same as it always is. Monday-Wednesday-Saturday.

[FAZ8218]

Yep. You need that Saturday night game. Last night's game was extremely entertaining. Very rarely do you see a brawl like that in the Finals.

[Fr. Dougal]

Totally intentional. No reason for him to even go after McAmmond, as he had already shot the puck. Pronger knew he was gonna go by him cause of his speed... and he pussied out and elbowed him instead of turning into his path.

[DoucheMeister]

Time to find out how the ducks are going to do without pronger. All I know, the big line has to start producing tonight.

Going to be another great game.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

a) Alannis Morissette is still hot to me, I don't care what you say
b) That was a fuckin awesome way to do the anthem...love the massive flag going around the crowd, whoever was in charge of the audio out in the truck is a genius, raising the crowd mics to hear everyone singing along

Neil is going to draw probably another 3 penalties tonight, you can tell that Anaheim has lost their cool entirely
Anaheim just got lucky on that...should be a 5-on-3

ah ha! I'm not the only one who thinks that about Alanis
me (8:35:12 PM): did you see the national anthems?
Standby (8:36:01 PM): i did
Standby (8:36:03 PM): alanis
Standby (8:36:06 PM): i kinda want to mouthfuck her
Standby (8:36:10 PM): i bet she's a good blowjob
me (8:35:28 PM): hahaha, I was about to say
me (8:35:36 PM): "I don't care what you think, I still want to fuck her"
Standby (8:36:30 PM): like uses a pleasant amount of teeth

[FullBallz]

Oh please lord, someone has to get that flubbed goal call by Emerick. That was classic.

[TheJerseyDevil]

Nice goal by MacDonald

[Jimmy's Dignity]

Nice goal by MacDonald
that was a fucking sick goal...Emery was in position too, but then he lifted his left pad

man...Anaheim is completely owning this period

WOW!!!
Phenominal save

[TheJerseyDevil]

Check out the one Leafs fan in a sea of Red Senators jerseys, haha that guy has balls.

[maxeypad]

HOLY SHIT....
damn Alfredsson shooting and hitting him omg....damn.....

what a great game
Ottawa had the momentum until that...damn

[Fuck Crosby]

wow. alfredson is a scumbag

[maxeypad]

yeah.....that definitely wasnt a Captain worthy move......and they didn't let them fight for "FAMILY REASONS"

damn...i can't wait for the 3rd period, gonna be some big hits me thinks

[TheJerseyDevil]

Cherry is kicking ass on NBC.

[maxeypad]

Cherry is kicking ass on NBC.

fuck yeah he is

i'm glad it's on NBC as opposed to VS.

and god dammit they are already showing NFL commericals....FOOZBALL! me likes

this has a potential to be a really good 3rd period

[DoucheMeister]

Totally classless move by afredson. Asshole.

Now the ducks are going to be fired up.

[maxeypad]

Totally classless move by afredson. Asshole.

Now the ducks are going to be fired up.

i'm sorry Sly.....i want Ottawa to win too...but god damn...what the fuck was alfredsson thinking?!?! asshole indeed

heh it would have been really cool if it had been a Shanahan slapshot to the chest....now i bet that would fucking hurt....damn i miss shanny....stupid wings

[DoucheMeister]

Here we go again.

[maxeypad]

fuck yeah

3rd period!

[maxeypad]

damn 4 on 3 now

[ginaf20697]

Thank you NBC for bringing us DON CHERRY! That alone would make your coverage vastly superior never mind the miles ahead production values.

[maxeypad]

wow....Teemu is pretty fucking good

[Warfarer]

chip shot to take the lead and what the fuck was Alfredsson thinking to finish the 2nd?

[maxeypad]

i have no fucking clue what Alfredsson was thinking....pretty crazy though

[DoucheMeister]

Fuck........ No way they are coming back from 3 games to 1.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

well, so much for Ottawa in 6....

Why don't they have to wear first name letters on their jerseys? I guess just because it wouldn't fit.

[TheJerseyDevil]

Looks like lil Rob will be holding big brothers hand all the way to the cup ceremony. The Senators had this game and let it slip away.

[seeinred]

Goddammit, I'm so mad that I fell asleep right when I got home yesterday. Can someone explain what Alfie did at the end of the 2nd?

And I'm still holding out hope that the Sens can pull it out, because even though I love Teemu and want him to win a cup, seeing that cockloving piece of shit Pronger lift the cup is the last thing I ever want to see.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

Goddammit, I'm so mad that I fell asleep right when I got home yesterday. Can someone explain what Alfie did at the end of the 2nd?
fuckin dumbass move...under 5 seconds left in the 2nd, skates the puck clear of the zone, cocks back his stick to ice it down and end the period...he looks up, sees there's time left on the clock, changes his body angle, and cranks the shot into Niedermayer

5n_Uqao_QXU

[wakeboardfit]

I haven't really cared much about either of these teams but after last nights game I have to say I hope Ottawa dies in a bus fire on the way to the next game. What a team full of assholes. Between the dives in the first period and the shot aimed at Scotty they could all die. The first period felt like I was watching soccer, bunch of faking jackasses. Now I say, keep the cup in America, Canada doesn't deserve it (even if like 90% of the players are from there)

[seeinred]

5n_Uqao_QXU

I wouldn't call that a cheap shot, although it was definitely passive agressive. Scotty's a big boy, he's taken a few shots I reckon. I think if Alfie had actually wanted to hurt him with the shot, he probably would have done it. It seems like he did that more to get his team fired up for the 3rd probably. Either way, things aren't looking good for the Sens, and I hope Chris Pronger disappears mysteriously, or at least can't make it for when the Ducks clinch. I think I will actually throw up when I see him raise the Cup.

I forget who I heard say this, or where it was written, but it would be so cool if when he tried to touch the Cup, it burned his hands.

[maxeypad]

i cannot believe alfredsson shot at Scott....that was fucking crazy....and i SO wanted to see a huge fight

and i cannot believe the Sens let game 4 get away......

[DoucheMeister]

I am so pissed at Ottawa now. They had a great first period, then went to sleep or something. And that Alfredson shot at the end of the second was an embarassement.

Fuck.

[Fred Told Me]

I still think the Senators will take this to 7 games. I don't think the Ducks are going to take it this easy.

OBSERVATION: Am i the only one who wants to strangle Mike Emrick everytime he says "6 and 3 quarter minutes to go". Congratulations Mike, you were paying attention in school when they were teaching fractions. Now talk like a normal human being and say "6:45 to go" thank you.

I do understand that you try to change things as a broadcaster, as to not be redundant, but you're right.. that's extreme.

If Ray Emery plays like he did last night, they're not going anywhere past game 5. This fuckin guy needs to play more conservatively and stay in position.

NEW YORK -- The Stanley Cup finals have brought record low ratings to NBC for a prime-time program, sports or otherwise.

Ottawa's 5-3 victory over Anaheim in Game 3 Saturday night received a 1.1 national rating and a 2 share, the network said Tuesday. . .

A ratings point represents 1,114,000 households.

If im reading this right, Neilson estimates there is about 111,400,000 house with TVs in the country and that out of that, only 1% watched this?

[FAZ8218]

I blame the media and ESPN, if they treat it like a non-event, the zombies that are the majority of the public audience will follow... The NHL needs to look into that.

[ginaf20697]

If ESPN doesn't cover something they don't give a fuck. Not that they gave a fuck when they did have the games but it wasn't quite SO bad.

I dont think its all ESPNs fault. They could give it more coverage but do you think people would even care or notice if they did? Noone gives a shit about hockey. Roughly 1.7 million people watched this game. Whats the population of Southern California? There has to be at least a couple million people living there and they cant even get into it. Do people in Ottawa even have TVs?
1.7 for a championship game on national TV is really sad.

To answer your first question... Yes. The average viewer just watches what they're told is "popular" by the media. It's direct.

[TheJerseyDevil]

Judging by how people decide to watch poker on television, I blame this on the stupidity of our society in general. I cant tell people what to watch, if they want to miss out on a great sport, one of the few leagues with dignity left then its their loss.
Anyway, did anyone expect good ratings for Ducks vs Senators?

[Jimmy's Dignity]

not gonna lie...I wouldn't have expected "good ratings" for Rangers vs. Jesus

EVERYONE in Canada watches it on CBC, and the ratings have been great for them. I don't give a fuck if NBC has shitty ratings, they didn't even carry the OT of the conference finals.

And if this means some teams fold, even better.

I'm not one of those people who need everyone to love what they do in order to validate it. If you don't like hockey, don't watch it.

Viewership in Canada doesn't count towards the NBC number. That's a key contributor to the low rating since their is only 1 home team market. The NHL has has the unfortunate luck of having 3 consecutive finals featuring a Canadian Team and a small market US team. Granted I realize Anaheim is part of the LA Market which is a big market but not when it comes to hockey.

Highest TV ratings for a game in Canada (CBC) is still 1994 Finals Game 7, Canucks vs Rangers.

And while we're on it, it's time for the Canadian teams with Swedish captains to get new players to wear the "C". Fuck Alfredsson, Sundin and Naslund -- fucking chicken Swedes, won't win shit with any of them. Get a fucking Canadian to wear the "C" for Chrissakes.

If im reading this right, Neilson estimates there is about 111,400,000 house with TVs in the country and that out of that, only 1% watched this?

Ratings is the number of all households with a TV.
Share is the number of households actually watching their TV.

So in this case... NBC had 1.1% of all American households... whether or not their TV was on.

But out of all the TVs turned on, 2% were tuned in to the game.

Ratings/Share and total viewers

Nielsen Television Ratings are reported by ranking the percentage for each show of all viewers watching television at a given time. As of September 2006, there are an estimated 115.2 million television households in the USA. A single national ratings point represents 1%, or 1,102,000 households for the 2006-07 season. Share is the percentage of television sets in use tuned to a specific program. These numbers are usually reported as (ratings points/share). For example, Nielsen may report a show as receiving a 9.2/15 during its broadcast, meaning 9.2%, or 10,138,400 households on average were tuned in at any given moment. Additionally, 15% of all televisions in use at the time were tuned into this program. Nielsen re-estimates the number of households each August for the upcoming television season.

EDIT: Did I mention I hate fucking ratings? And I hate the Neilsen system. Wanna know how useless it is? A test pattern gets ratings. Someone tell me how a home that doesn't have it's TV on can be counted as a "viewer" for a show? No one in my biz can.

Highest TV ratings for a game in Canada (CBC) is still 1994 Finals Game 7, Canucks vs Rangers.

And while we're on it, it's time for the Canadian teams with Swedish captains to get new players to wear the "C". Fuck Alfredsson, Sundin and Naslund -- fucking chicken Swedes, won't win shit with any of them. Get a fucking Canadian to wear the "C" for Chrissakes.

I realize you said Canadian teams, but I'm just glad you didn't lump Lidstrom in with them. Although I've always liked Mats Sundin. Hated the Leafs for some reason, but liked Sundin.

[DoucheMeister]

They should give the "C" to Mike Fisher, he has been playing great, and is a huge physical presence.

can't expect them to show the anthems 2 nights in a row...they save that for African Roundball

[FAZ8218]

Ooooooooooooooo I love overtime. But I got a six pack that says this game ends in regulation.

[FAZ8218]

Shitty call.

[FAZ8218]

If we don't see Stanley tonight, it'll be a miracle. Ottawa can't get anything going.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

Shitty call.
that's going to be the understatement of the night, all night long

Ottawa doesn't even look like they want to be there tonight. On that last PP, Emery could/should have come out and played the puck offensively...instead he stays in the crease, waits for it to bounce off the end boards, then taps it behind the goal with under a minute left.

Given the way they played, they got lucky to only be down 2-0

Holy shit what is it with this arena? Brodeur in 03 and this crazy goal now? Unreal. Gotta feel bad for Philips. He looks like someone just told him he was adopted.

that really is a gut-punch of a goal...if Ottawa wasn't out of it before, they're out of it now :(

[FAZ8218]

Wow. WHAT A GOAL!!!!

[DoucheMeister]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I was posting about the Alfie goal.

[TheJerseyDevil]

The Sens just cant get anything going.

Ottawa forgot to take luck

[Sack of Chisels]

Wow what a period. Just when it looked like Ottawa might be getting life back, they're back down by 2 goals.

[FullBallz]

When Anaheim wins I don't know if I can take Niedermayer raising that cup. I'm still so bitter about him leaving because his pussy brother can't do shit on his own and mommy had to ask big brother to come and help him win because she felt bad at thanksgiving when Scott would talk about where he took the Cup that past summer. Fuckin BC asshole (Sorry Barely Legal). He probably won't even show any emotion whatsoever. He never did in Jersey and doesn't now. What a prick. phew OK I'm done.

[FAZ8218]

I just wanna see Selanne raise it. That's the only reason why I'm happy for Anaheim. Those fans are loud... but not "verge of winning the cup" loud.

[HockeyHelmet]

So you'r saying they will start a 'We want the Cup' chant with 15.7 seconds remaining?

[DoucheMeister]

Man, Philips has a black cloud over him tonight.

[FullBallz]

I just wanna see Selanne raise it.

Agreed. I always liked Selanne. I'm happy for all the players except 1. Well maybe Giguere because I don't like how he plays goal. He never knows where the puck is and he never feels it because of his 80lbs of equipment. If Montreal knows what's good for them they will pay him and the trade Carey Price for a stand-out forward or D-man

[Jimmy's Dignity]

I will give Anaheim's fans this...they were booing Alfredsson every time he touched the puck.

Selanne winning will be cool and Ryan Shannon is from my town...so the Cup may be coming to Darien, CT

[DoucheMeister]

Fucking emery.

[FullBallz]

Those fans are loud... but not "verge of winning the cup" loud.

They're loud now. You could hear the mics shut off after Moen scored that goal. Ottawa = dead.

Holy shit Doc, enough with the "sing-song".

[HockeyHelmet]

oh now when its 5-2

[Jimmy's Dignity]

[TheJerseyDevil]

Rob should have Scott hold his hand all the way up to raise the cup.

[FullBallz]

Fucking emery.

No one was stopping that bro. That was a perfect slot deflection goal. Gomez and Elias worked that to perfection last year's playoffs.

[FAZ8218]

Hahaha the bitterness of you Devils fans is hysterical. I hope Scotty hands it to Rob and they have "a moment" just for you. :action-sm

I know it is. Any Devil fan who goes "I'm not mad, he really helped us in his time here" is full of shit and not a real Devils fan. He strung that team along for months and then when he signed with Anaheim we got stuck with McGillis and Malakhov. We all remember how that went. I really hope they don't have that moment. I had to suffer through the Ray Borque shit in '01.

Just so you Ottawa fans know. As of right now, that abortion of a goal in the 2nd is the cup-winning goal.

[FAZ8218]

Yeah... "Let me leave my career-long team to go win a cup, that's more important now. While my faggot son looks on and cries is eyes out and gets to stand with the team." What about all the other sons, daughters, moms, dads, brothers, sisters, etc? Why aren't they allowed on the ice?

Fuck yeah bro. I trust him with everything. I really believed that we had a big chance this year and that he put together the best team possible for us to win. Then we played Ottawa lol.

By the way, Brian Burke, after what he's done in Vancouver and now Anaheim, he is the 2nd if not tied with Lou as the best GM in hockey.

2. Sean Avery tying the game late vs. St. Louis
1. Double overtime, Michal Roszival in Game 3 vs the Sabres.

[seeinred]

I would first off like to say that when I saw Chris Pronger lift that Cup, a part of me died. Especially since he touched it before Teemu.

Now for some sweet top 3 moments, from a Detroit perspective for those who care:

3. Franzen's 2OT winner against Calgary.
2. Kyle Calder scoring on his 1st shift as a Red Wing
1. Steve Yzerman number retirement ceremony (I was there)

Here's a question I don't know the answer to... How many times has the AHL season outlasted the NHL season?

As great as Scotty Niedermayer has been with the devils in the past, I just noticed this season was a career high for him in terms of points and he shows no signs of slowing down... I could see this guy playing up into his mid 40's and still being great.

UNIONDALE, N.Y. (CP) - New York Islanders first round draft pick Kyle Okposo announced Friday that he has decided to remain at the University of Minnesota for the 2007-08 hockey season.

The 19-year-old forward from St. Paul, Minn., was selected seventh overall in last year's draft.

"I feel returning to school best serves my future as an NHL player at this time," said Okposo. "I want to be able to step right in and help the Islanders in the future. I didn't feel that I can do that right now.

"Minnesota is the best place for me to be so I can continue my development."

Okposo played for the U.S. team that won bronze at the world junior championship in Sweden.

He also finished second on the team in scoring during his freshman year at Minnesota with 19 goals and 21 assists for 40 points.

The Islanders are supportive of his decision to stay in college.

"Kyle has a very bright future and another year at the collegiate level will give him the opportunity to continue his development into the player we all imagine he can be one day," said Islanders GM Garth Snow. "We're looking forward to watching Kyle be a leader at Minnesota this season."
