Official NHL/hockey thread

Well, if the players don't like Powerplays, they know how to stop it. The players always spout this crap about "policing the game themselves" but the reality of it is, if we left it to them, it would be the law of the jungle....

Lets face it, they complain when the ref's didn't do anything but call the most obvious muggings, then they complain when they call everything. Here is a clue, they complain!!!

Hockey players are funny people,and good ones, but they have some wacky views of how the world works...

To be honest, I'm nowhere near qualified to say how NHL works right now because I cannot see the games, therefore I follow it mainly from their website. And as we now, the figures often tell only the half of the truth.

One thing is sure though... my hips don't lie.

Hey Mark, come on now...didn't you enjoy Slapshot? ;)

We will definately have to have a serious discussion about Lou Lamoriello. The man is a hockey genius...plain and simple.

AFF, I think most of us are just glad the allstar break is done so we can get back to some serious hockey.

You got that right Sirius. The playoffs are closer every day :)

Sigh... what'll it be raikk? :dozey:

Schmenke...gotta quit betting on the Habs in Toronto. You will learn someday....


Sirius, Lou is a genius as far as judging talent, and understanding where the league is often going, but he looks after his team first, and not the league's interest. He thinks there is nothing wrong with a sched that only takes Sidney Crosby to Western Cities (and by extention, Ovechkin, Malkin and other young stars in the east) once every 3 years. Of course, it works well for the Devils, only one western road trip a year, most of the games within bus range, all his rivals for one third of his games. Ya...it works out well for him, but I think the league needs to look beyond this rivalry stuff. The Rivalries are best because of a playoff beating or two, not meeting in the middle of Febuary playing out the string.....

I still don't know whether or not I am going to be going.

I mean I don't want to sound pesemistic but I know that Great Britain are going to be rubbish again. Also Division 1 is in Slovenia and I don't really know if I could get there.
