The '08-'09 NHL Season Thread

I've been meaning to post in here.

The Islanders will be lucky to make it 20 wins. I'm convinced that they will have the worst record in franchise history.

Even if we do get the first pick, it won't matter. The Isles are playing an preseason game in Kansas City. There has been news that the Isles might move to KC if the lighthouse project doesn't get approved.

Congrats to #9! :D
 
I hope they get moved to Hamilton, Canada, right beside Toronto. :p


There would be 3 NHL teams within 2 hours of each other. It's not unheard of, but those markets are Toronto, Hamilton, and Buffalo (aka: Hell, NY). They're not exactly the biggest markets.

I guess if Hamilton is unlucky, they'll end up with the Coyotes or something. :eek:
 
All star game is coming up. that is always a treat.

i have tickets to the AHL all star game (4 miles from my house) but its on the same weekend,.

Battling between being at the AHL or watching NHL game, hmmmmm

Go to the AHL game!

If it were me, I'd go to the AHL game. I'd choose a live game over one on TV any day.

Besides, you could record the NHL game and watch it later if you wanted to.

which it won't.... Hempstead is a "poop-hole", if it wasn't for Hofstra good lord know what it would be like. What he wants to do is ridiculous. He should just re-do the coliseum and be done with it and maybe figure something out about parking. It also doesn't help the case that Nassau Community College wants to build a Tillies Center like concert venue. I can't think of another big name Long Island Company that would have any interest in buying the Islanders. He's already loosing millions. We can debate this all day but i'll stop there.

As a ranger fan i do they do win some games cause i don't want them getting the no. 1 draft pick :p
The rangers are always there streaky self. They win a few then loose a few... and then in March/april it will be a battle for a playoff spot.
The bruins are doing great. I'm glad the bruins attendance is up and hockey is back in bean town.
 
Proof positive that the Devils are much more than just Martin Brodeur:

First place in the Atlantic Division was a seemingly unreachable goal for the New Jersey Devils when star goalie Martin Brodeur tore his biceps in early November.

Despite that setback, the Devils sit atop the division heading into the all-star break.

Amazing.

Also, Shanny now has the record for the most time between goals with the same organization. He was drafted by the Devils and then played with them from 1987-91, and now, again, in 2009. Very cool stuff......

Now just imagine what they'd be like if they had Marty.

The Isles won their first game of 2009! A 2-1 win over the Ducks. I'll cherish this one for a while because I won't see another one anytime soon.

I am a die hard Marty fan. Idolized him all my life while playing, even own a signed maple wheaties box with him on it. But honestly, Clemers been playing awesome, with marty maybe 1 or 2 more wins IMO. Doesn't mean he's not the best but you can't argue with the numbers .922 save % and 2.29 gaa isn't anything to role your eyes at.
 
anyone watching the skills competition tonight? That intro music thing was ridiculous. No wonder why everyone laughs at the NHL :rolleyes:

Isn't it the new Hockey Night in Canada theme?

I was kinda bummed that Ovechkin won for the shoot out. He got the 49% vote though:eek:
 
the all star game was ok....Thomas should have been MVP IMO
Versus should never ever do a hockey game ever again... the whole production team should be fired. The director..what was he/she thinking showing the bench interviews for the whole interview, not to mention the young stars game yesterday showing replays during play :eek: You missed a lot of the action. Also the on ice/bench reporters, that girl i think her name was chris simpson should get canned immediately. She asked the dumbest questions. No one wonder why the figure skating on NBC got better ratings then the skills competition. The NHL needs to go back to ESPN.

AGREED!!!!!!!

My wife made the comment, about women covering hockey. It wasn't very nice...
 
I went to the AHL skills competion today.

It was all right.

the mascots smelled like hockey bag. I got one to say, if you think it smells bad where you're at you should smell it in here.
Full house.

from the 40+ players they have played in over 1000 NHL games with 73 goals this year alone. Found that to be impressive.
 
Does anyone know..is that NESN covering the AHL all star game? I see the nesn game clock and graphic styles and Tom Carron. I'm surprised Channel 3 isn't covering the game. (do they still pick up a few games?)

edit - i guess NESN was contracted to do the game and MSG picked up there feed. See Tom do hockey is quite funny as i'm used to him doing the sox games. He's doing a much better job then that women on versus.
 
i guess the rangers won this afternoon.. sweet no goals and they still won :D

Wow, the Senators are in such disarray. Amazing the state they're in after making it to the finals in 2007.

Firing Hartsburg is not the solution. Hartsburg is not the problem.

The players, as a collective, are the problem.

That responsibility falls on the shoulders of the GM for putting this "team" together. Murray is the one who needs to go. This is the third coach the Senators have had since going to the Cup finals. You can't blame the coach for these problems.

Hell, the Leafs are in a better place than the Senators.

Here is what should happen- and very possibly will happen: They should hire Pat Quinn to be GM and coach. That would be a step in the right direction.
