BWAHAHAHAHA

Wow are the Jackets ever in over their head against the Wings

Yeah and the key to this deal is that the way the contract is structured, he will make less now and more later.







Thus the Wings have more than enough to re-sign Hossa, barring the salary cap coming down significantly :love:

He makes 5 mill. for the first 5 or 6 years then it drops off actually.

What the hell is going down in Minnesota? First Lemaire, now the GM's contract is not being renewed. Gabby will be gone next. Though, that wouldn't exactly be a bad thing seen as he can't stay healthy to save his life.

Wild need to get their shit together so we don't have another sub-par season come the fall.

That's why they didn't resign the coach or GM. Time to start fresh.

Aye. Just wasn't prepared for the mass "culling."

They coulda kept the GM imo. It's not his fault the coach focused to much on defense.

Stars are going to have tomove Gabby. Should have worked harder to do it this year. I think it's a reason the GM is gone.

Stars? They haven't been in Minnesota for 10+ years Hero.

The years are starting to take their toll on Hero.

Too bad you guys were confused by what I said.

Sharks/Bruins in the Finals.

SHARKS IN 7

I fucking hate hockey on Versus

Next season I'm going to follow a team from the NHL. I already got my local team here in England, but I think it's only right as I'm getting more and more into hockey that I watch a team.

I've always had a soft spot for the Calgary Flames, was always playing as them on old Mega Drive games...

But I'm open to options. I want to feel a need to support the team, nothing stupid like "Jon Doe plays for them", but legit. I'd even consider flying over to catch a game next year too. The Flames have a bit of history as at least I really loved playing as them in my youth etc.

If u can, suggestions? With reasoning please!

I don't mind being called a glory hunter if it turns out I go for tha current champs etc. or if the team I support is like the toilet bowl of the game.

:heart: u all :)

Obvious Pittsburgh Penguins because Crosby/Malkin/Gonchar/Fluery/Jordan Stall plays for them answer.

Correct me if I'm wrong, LoDown, but isn't the new arena gonna be done for next season, too? (It's still the Civvie to me, Dammit!)

2010-2011 season.

Calgary is not a bad pick. Good goalie, Dion Phaneuf, Jokinen, Iginla... They're middle of the road.

FLAMES!!!!!

sweet game, and turn arounds, only for calgary to clinch it 6-4 in the final minutes!

Fucking terrible game for the Pens. After a great fucking first period too.

I like the Rangers.

Wooo bye Flyers!

I just want to mention again how much hockey on Versus sucks.

And that I despise the Ducks.

What, it's NOT that bad. Not everyone can be Doc Emrick you know.

I know, but I just don't like watching games Versus. I still think ESPN should have never dropped the NHL.

WOOOOO!!! GOING TO GAME 6!

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT!!!

Talbot "shhing" the Flyers fans was great :D

The Caps forced a game 7 and with it being in DC I hope they can pull it out unlike last year.

Right, just got my first win on NHL09 vs. mode, with.... The Flames!!! lol.

I am now the newest fan.

Any other Flames fans? If so, I expect u to accommodate me as an English noob fan and also to assist me getting tickets should I plan to go and see them next year!!!

I like the Flames well enough. Jarome is my favourite player. I can 'tutor' you about thngs if you like??

I think ur name is apt right now :)

So yeah, ask away. I'm sure there are a lot of posters here that can fill you in ( :naughty: ) ... about things

Do you use the term "enforcer" for the fighters in the team, or grinder?

Who are the main guys for the Flames, like All-star potential

Who are the guys who can change a match, like proper world class players?

How much is a ticket?

Enforcers kinda went away after the lock out, so Grinders.
