I says "Nobody knowing what this saying".

"Nobody knows what this says" would translate to "Ingen vet vad som står här"

I'm pretty confident after a good display in the 5-3 win over Cardiff Devils, that we will win.

Always wanted to know, how is the British leauge thought of in USA, have you even herd of it???

To be honest BTCC2, I did not realise that the U.K. had a professional league. How many teams in the league?

10. he says quietly as people look back and see that my beloved team are infact last. Although we nearly won last year and probably should have. We will get better, we have a lot of new players.

1 Belfast Giants 37
2 Coventry Blaze 30
3 Nottingham Panthers 23
4 Sheffield Steelers 22
5 Manchester Phoenix 22
6 Hull Stingrays 20
7 Basingstoke Bison 19
8 Cardiff Devils 16
9 Edinburgh Capitals 15
10 Newcastle Vipers 13

Is the table

BTCC2, are there any Scandinavians in your league?

**BTCC2** · 6th December 2006, 19:49

There is Johan Molin who is from Sweden
but there are loads of players from Ukraine and Slovakia. USA and Canada are also very heavily represented, infact there is very few British players.

Ducks won again

Selänne has gone up like a rocket in personal stats over the couple last months.

Go Caps!

Say it ain't so Joe!
Nieuwendyk hangs 'em up after 20 years. He was one of the best centremen around and a highly respected player

I'm looking forward to the days when Martin Brodeur of the New Jersey Devils breaks both Patrick Roy's wins record and Terry Sawchuk's shutout record.

He has been an amazing goalie and has shown unwavering loyalty to a team that was once dubbed NHL's "Mickey Mouse" franchise.

this is what I don't get about Colorado, they get shut out to Columbus, then they beat San Jose 5-2. WTF can you guys not play one-offs and just play hard every game
