'06 - '07 NHL Season

Surprisingly the highlights are on ESPNEWS. I'm sure it's on YouTube by now too. The Drury hit was boderline. The blood came from when he hit his head on the ice, ouch. Biron got killed by Emery and then one of your Sabres came in and beat Emery. Absolutely fantastic!

I kind of miss that smash mouth hockey. It brought a tear to my eye.

Nice to see that your Rookies are doing quite well.

Just caught the SportsCenter highlights...Barry Melrose had a fair bit to say about it. He was amazed that none of the Ottawa forwards stepped in when Peters went after Emery. Not surprising that Emery got the best of Biron.

The hit on Drury looked pretty clean to me, but I won't complain about a knock-down, drag-out melee. It was funny to see the Sabres put out an all-tough guy line while Ottawa went about their business as usual with a skill line.

Stafford is really playing well. He's been up and down from Rochester several times this season, but he's really into the flow with the Sabres. A game-winning shootout goal will do wonders for your confidence.
 
Keith for a 1st and a 3rd round pick this year, plus a 2nd round in '08, plus Metropolit [?]. Overall, VERY good trade for da Blues. Keith had so much more potential, but seemed to be shy at times, and then also too many injuries. Did like his net-crashing style, when his game was on. In anycase, this really adds some depth to our near and long-term futures. Would hate to see Bill G. gone - unless there is something really positive received. Still can't believe ATL gave up that much,,, I am dancing!!! :D
 
OH BABY!!! What a day!!!! I will post the official trade list when it becomes finalized a little later.

Ryan Smyth is an Islander. Wow, Garth Snow is looking like a genius now.
 
Well, the Sabres learned from last year's mistake and made a bunch of moves at the deadline to prepare for the stretch run. Sad to see Biron go (especially to the Flyers), but I'm feeling a lot better about our depth now.

Of course, they were still able to paste the Leafs last night with a bunch of minor leaguers... :D
 
I think everybody can paste the Leafs at home. They are horrific there.

Ryan Smyth debut tomorrow!!! I gotta gets me a ticket to that game!
 
Going to see the Ryan Smyth's debut tonight!!!!!

Sorry MSM Hobbes, the Blues are going down.

The Drive For 5 Starts Tonight!!!!

Let's Go Islanders!!!!
 
Well then..... got some crow to eat.

Simply got out played tonight. See what happens kids when you keep getting open look shots all night? They finally go in.

I have never seen so many blown penalties before in my life.

Well at least Ryan Symth got an assist.
 
So, Cam Janssen's hit on Tomas Kaberle.

Am I the only one who thought there wasn't a whole lot wrong with it. Kaberle keeps his head up, quits admiring his pass and there is no problem.

Ovechkin crosschecks Briere from behind head first into the boards and gets nothing.

Zero games for Ovechkin, three games for Janssen. Completely ridiculous. If it was reversed I guess it wouldn't steam me so badly.
 
Well, did you fry or bake that crow ya ate? ;)

Anyhow, yea, my boys in Blue got the Isles :), but your cross-town Rangers got us the next night. :( Both fairly good games.

Hey - youngest boy chid [8 yo] is starting to express interest in collecting hockey cards. Any advice, tips, hints? Local dealer told the woman yesterday that Topps were most preferred brand - that true?

Don't go overboard. They get super pricey, just get him a nice card book to put them so he learns to value them, not just tossed around.

When I was a kid, which wasn't that long ago, Upper Deck was the brand I preferred.
 
lol,,, thanks guys! :) Yea, we got the plastic protector sleeves for now - will look at the book too.

On to different subject, I'm hoping that this BS goes to the side and the Penguins stay in Pittsburgh where they belong, where their fans are, filling the arena 96% capacity. Where one of my all time favourite players stated back in '99 that that is where the Penguins should stay. Yea, I know,,, times and situations change. But, and altho' I be from MO, I really do not believe that KC is a place that will support this team long term, as Pittsburgh will/would.



BTW, yea, its not JUST a sport,,, its a passion. ;)
 
It's sad to hear that the penguins are probably gonna be in Kansas City next season.

Why couldn't the Rangers just lose tonight? Grrrr...

A shirt in Canada reads this: "Hockey Is Life, Everything Is Just Details"

true, but the pricey ones can be fun. my best buddy buys me jersey cards and things that ilk and i am more excited about those than normal cards. he just got me a jaromir jagr frozen in time "card" (as well as a jagr 3-color jersey card!) -- it's awesome! ebay is a good place for those type of cards if he has a favorite player/team etc.

Which is ridiculous. If the team is moved, it should be moved to a market that will appreciate it. Winnipeg, or the Hammer. I'd go watch games if they moved to Hamilton. Plus, it might get the leafs to get off the butts and put together a real team. Not the current bunch of nancy's they have out there now.

So true. The Leafs are garbage (especially at home). I'd like to see a team back in Winnipeg or Quebec. (Hells yea Jets and Nordiques!) Hells, move them to Hartford! They sure do miss their Whalers.

Kansas City, what a frackin' joke. That ain't a hockey city.
 
Penguins also looking at Las Vegas as an option too. I have to find the damn link....

Other news.... hockey tonight! Will be at Nassau Coliseum to see the Rangers take on the Islanders!

Let's Go Islanders!!!
 
I just hope the Bruins don't sneak in as an eight seed and go one and done. I'm not a real religious person,but please Lord,end this Bruin's season :D

Amen Bro. they have looked like sh*t the past two games. Very inconsistant. But if they do not get in next year, that is a bad sign.
