Finally, would've sucked only having basketball after football and before baseball
I feel like hockey is a sport I could really get into.
I dont have any idea whats going on but when I stumble upon a game while channel surfing I'll watch it for a while. The main thing that confuses me is the 2 blue lines and "Icing" if someone can explain that to me I would greatly appreciate it.
Also I am looking for a team to start rooting for. I'm leaning towards the penguins due to having NHL Faceoff 96 and powning my little bro with Lemuix and jagr...also they have sidney crosby who is apparently really good when he is not spaghetti brained.
Would like suggestions though
I always enjoy taking weekend trips to Dallas that include a Stars game. I'm going to try to follow them closer this year. For some reason I've never been able to make them "my team", but I'm going to try this year. I say that every year, but end up rooting for some Canadian team like the Oilers or Canucks in the playoffs. Their fans/crowds always suck me in.
1. If you want to get into hockey but dont understand the rules I'd advise either downloading the NHL '13 free demo and play it or buy a cheap used copy of an older version. There are about 4 rules.
2. I find it odd that people are taking suggestions on what their favorite team should be. Is that how it works in other sports too? I'd suggest just watching some games impartially and then pick, whether you like the jerseys, city, goal horn, star player, whatever, just pick & go.
My team is the Coyotes. I liked them when they played in Winnipeg because they had the playoff white out, they invented it in the 70s with a juniors team there and it used to be fresh. They also had good young players I liked. They weren't my favorite though, Vancouver was until I went to Phoenix the first year they relocated to see Vancouver play Phoenix. Vancouver won but Phoenix became my favorite team.
Whomever mentioned Pittsburgh, don't pick them. Sure they have talent and have the best alternate jerseys in the game

But Sidney Crosby is an unsufferable crybaby
i think Americans having a canadian team (NOT THE CANUCKS) be their favorite team is hilarious.
does the NHL coming back hurt the image of the Frozen Four??Reason to like the Avalanche over the Canucks.
but really, i was worried i'd have to settle for some pud denver team versus some elite new england team in the natty champ.
if the nucks can't win the west then IDGAF about the NHL anymore.

Already a step ahead, I picked up NHL 2012 for $10 at best buy the other day, played a couple games online but would get frustrated with random icing and offsides calls. Now that Slice of Lime has broke it down for me I should be good.
When I play online I usually play with the Canucks because they have the best goalie rating. Are they a good team to pull for or would I be shunned if I told an american hockey fan my favorite team resided in Canada?
Another thing to lookout for is the 2013 draft this summer. The likely #1 pick is Seth Jones, he's a defenseman & the son of fromer NBA power forward Popeye Jones.
Our Junior national team led by Jones just won the World Championships.

Big time Sharks fan here. I got into hockey growing up watching the Wichita Thunder who put together some great runs in my youth.
Good advice on buying NHL '13 to better understand the game. I know I was confused by a lot of the penalties when I first started watching. Check out the wikipedia pages for simpler explanations for rules and penalties.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Hockey_League_rules (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Hockey_League_rules)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penalty_(ice_hockey) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penalty_(ice_hockey))
Keep in mind NHL rules and penalties vary a bit from the Olympics, international play, etc.
I love it because it's fast paced and physical. A man's sport. For instance, if you're being a douche, somebody will simply kick your ass. There are penalties and ass-kickings that prevent diving (the equivalent of flopping in the NBA or soccer) so it's not a bunch of pussies laying down looking for a whistle. Very physical and intense, rabid fans. Games are also very affordable if you're near a team. Went to the Sharks/Kings playoff games :love:last year a few rows behind the bench and spent about $90 per. Not bad at all. Can't wait to get this thing started!

Was led by Rocco and Gibson FTR. Gibson mostly.

NHL needs to adopt international rules i think to be more successful. The institutionalized fighting is absolutely Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). It's supposed to be the highest level of the sport, but instead of fielding the 5 best hocky players in the world on each team you have the 4 best hockey players and one dumbass who likes to get punched in the face.
they have talent and have the best alternate jerseys in the gameI hate the jerseys with the laces.

JFC, eff no. I'm not married to fighting, frankly I don't care if they have it or don't, there's not much of it relatively speaking. However, I'm guessing you haven't seen a lot of pros playing IIHF rules, its crazy boring. The ice is too big and the game is not physical at all. Did you watch those KHL games during the lockout? Not wanting fighting is one thing, instituting international rules for an 8 month season would kill the league in North America.
Does anyone know if the strike resulted in any major rule changes?Players get 50% of revenue instead of 57%
are the jets any good? i have a sizable amount of jets clothing, so i hope they are good.With the salary cap being so low, it's its almost impossible for teams to maintain a dynasty. When a teams wins the cup or goes far in the playoffs, the players demand more money and the teams can't afford to keep all of them. So I guess they will be gaurenteed to be good at least once in the next five years. And why do you have Jets gear?

Who is everyone's least favorite team? Probs the Avalanche for me because they play boring hockey.

This.
While international rules make for a more 'pure' hockey, it's rough ridin' boring. Outside of the NHL I can only watch olympic hockey and that's really only because it's the olympics. Goons are few and far between these days. Yes, they exist, but not at the rate they used to. Teams can't afford to fill up a roster spot with a one dimensional player who's a liability on both sides of the puck. While it doesn't make or break my fandom, I do enjoy fighting here and there. It can change momentum and pump up a team, much like a big hit in football.
I watch a lot of hockey and study a lot of film and the Avs are just fun to watch. Good passing, good shooting. I love them.I edited your post so it's better.

Yeah, but Avalanche fans are the worst.Who is everyone's least favorite team? Probs the Avalanche for me because they play boring hockey.
Detroit, San Jose and LA, in that order. Wings fans are obnoxious pricks but with that many Cups they at least have a reason to be obnoxious pricks, San Jose fans are obnoxious pricks despite not having any meaningful trophies to back it up and Kings fans don't know crap about hockey and didn't exist before April of 2012.

My favorite team is the Red Wings. The Avs are evil because of Claude Lemieux. Do not root for the Avs.
The only hockey I watch anymore is the Winter Classic, which is sad. I wish ESPN/Fox/NBC would get back on board.
NBC and NBC Sports Net's hockey broadcasts are far better than what ESPN and FOX ever did. I do miss ESPN's NHL2Night. NBC's show has good hosts but the setup and production are :zzz:

Their fans are the biggestasshole trolls ever. They are jilted lover losers. They've spent years pining and whining over the Coyotes. They literally ruin every twitter convo, comment section, message board and chat room that is in anyway involved with the Coyotes. You would have thought they would have stopped when Atlanta relocated to Winnipeg in the summer of '11, but they just got worse. They were completely impervious to their own hypocrisy because in their eyes Phoenix and Atlanta didn't deserve hockey teams, despite being two of the largest cities in North America, because of their geographic locations. Winnipeg deserved a team because they're Canadian. When you point out that they lost their team because attendance and revenues dragged and they refused to build a new arena they then lie and attemt to revise history. I hope they miss the playoffs on the last day of the season at home, like 15 years in a row.

Agreed, love the new format. Most players don't like how shoot outs can steal away a hard fought game so those 5 minutes are just absolutely nuts. As a fan, I love watching a good shoot out.
I always went fake shot and drag to the backhand then slip that bad boy 5-hole. So money.
Also, hate how Winnipeg is still in the Southeast.

I grew up with the Sabres. I learned how to skate at Sabreland hockey camp when I was five....because when you are a kid in Buffalo that is all there is to do in winter. Back then (early 80s), hockey players were really cool with fans so they would teach kids skating and basic hockey technique at Sabreland. I went to so many Sabres games at the Memorial Auditorium until 1996 and then have gone to a bunch at the new arena as well. I moved out of Buffalo after college...but I still follow the team. I just hate the NHL leadership...I think they are a bunch of buffoons.We must have a pretty badass NHL thread if you decided to have your first post here.

Always thought it was funny how the Canadian media criticized the NHL for giving Atlanta another franchise after they had already lost one but they had no problem with giving a Canadian city another team despite also losing one earlier

So arguably the best defender in the league, Erik Karlsson just got his achilles torn by a skate blade.(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi541.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fgg386%2Fbasketbawful%2Fcuban2.gif&hash=5349156780449cbeff25fd8326bdf79900f1b9e2)

Ts and freaking Ps
Such a freak injury, it had to be the absolute top of the achilles considering how solid that part of a skate boot is. I can't even imagine what went through Karlsson, the trainer, and the doctor thought when they took that sock off.

Torn Achilles is one of the worst injuries I can imagine. Lacerated Achilles is one of the few that seems worse.

MIR, we need to start rooting against St Louis hard or neither of us are gonna get it. They're choking hard right now, that's the good news. The better news is their schedule sucks from here on out as well. Damn you, Western Conference :shakesfist:

The Flyers have easily been the biggest disappointment in hockey, insane that they may finish dead ass last. I would go to the Rangers game because they have the more entertaining coach, the better players, and the more offense friendly system.
Welp, the West could get interesting but I think Detroit and Minnesota will beat out Dallas and Columbus. Minnesota plays a bunch of pud teams and Dallas has to play Columbus and Detroit in the last two games and go to San Jose tomorrow.

"They play almost an identical schedule this year because of the lockout" - you literally spoke these words like 3 days ago ya jackwagon. Just face the facts: Minnesota is a better team than Dallas and I'm a bigger fan of the Wild than you are of the Stars.
I'm pretty sure the Wild took 2 of the 3 games against the Stars (including 2 games in Dallas) so :comeatme:
Oh will you look at that, they also took 2 of 3 from the Coyotes (2 games in Phoenix).
Go ahead and talk about how the "Northwest Division sucks" all you want losers...I've got scoreboard.
Stars were up 2-1 with 7 to go last night and didn't get a point, all but mathematically eliminating themselves from the playoffs.
Pretty butthurt
So the 'yotes are gone, the stars are gone...
Are there any other hockey kids teams in the playoffs besides me (Sens) and Sabination (wild)?
all my teams made it
The TB Lightning are the best team in hockey. holy cow! :lol:What a big dumbass this guy is.

Chicago got mumped on that. Should have been a goal, and if they weren't going to count it then it should have been a PP for the Hawks instead of offsetting minors. Glad they overcame that and won in OT.
Fell asleep:lol:
whos ready for another long night of OT hockey?!
eff the B's
I've been cheer for the Blackhawks because I have seen lots of their fans in Manhattan and I like when Manhattan people are happy. But man, if the Bruins came back to win the title after being down 1-4 in the 3rd period of a game 7, how could would that be?

Jack Johnson only has 11 points and a +/- of -12. If they were looking for stay home defensemen they could do and did better than Jack Johnson. Keith Yandle is without a doubt the best American scoring defender. We don't have the most skilled forwards one would guess they would pick the most skilled defenseman available.
Yes, obviously I meant skilled with the puck, but I do take exception to him being weak defensively. He's an average defender that doesn't get credit for even that because of his offensive skill and creativity. I do agree that they will call Johnson up if necessary, he was after all the last cut. However, I think both of the Pittsburgh defensemen will play considering they still have over a month.
My biggest problem with excluding Ryan & Yandle is that they spewed some bs about needing playmakers. All of this being said we've yet to discuss their worst decision and it was including Jimmy Howard. He has been absolutely horrific, Ben Bishop and a dozen other guys should be furious.
Cheering for Sweden is easy for me, I spend the entire season cheering for OEL so why would I stop now? I have no rooting ties to team USA, fact is there are a lot of players on that roster I don't like. I'd cheer for Canada if Shane Doan didn't get rocky mountain spotted fever. I'm pretty sure they will pick Mike Smith but I'm equally sure he won't play.

So they're almost a lock to win one series? Isn't this just another way of saying St. L is good but this trade doesn't address the greatest need? They don't have enough goal scoring, they need one more move.

I like Blues fans, the atmosphere there has always been great, and most of their players are likeable but they have three of the most suckerrific players in hockey in Steve Ott, Brendan Morrow, and Max LaPierre. That being said I hope they beat the hell outta Chicago. Also that play by Ott to set up the game winner was phenomenal.
all the starscats say yeaaaa
omg you think Brendan morrow sucks? :lol: :lol: yaright
that mckinnon (sp?) kid just destroyed the wild
Three games was a break, that was a despicable hit.
idk, 3 playoff games seems pretty steep because it was his first offense. definitely deserved a suspension and a very dirty hit, but I don't think it was intended to hurt. he hit him high but I think he thought the puck was at backes' feet (no way he could have seen from the angle with the time he had) and hed be closer to the boards. he didn't launch himself, his momentum kind of carried him off but it was still high enough that it should be a suspension.
I would have been fine with 1 game. 3 is too many, imo. maybe 3 regular season games.

Mike Rupp hit Oshie in the head with an elbow late when Oshie actually had the puck at one point. It was Rupp's first offense and he got 4 games.
How is the Rupp hit worse? Seabrook clearly launches into Backes. Rupp "only" raised his shoulder as Oshie comes by. Seabrook elevated his shoulder and launched himself into Backes after accelerating into the play.
backes turned his head into the hit at the last second. rupp watched oshie come around from the back of the net for like 3 seconds, pass the puck, and then hit him in the head.
That was the best game St. Louis has played all series.
STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@seven, how fun is it going to be to riot in aggieville after the Sharks bring home the Cup? I'm definitely going to hit level 7 and flip over Stevesie's car.

cuz youre super butthurt or because its not good hockey?
Exact opposite for me, I find it hard to watch the east cause I don't care about the teams as long as boston loses
cuz youre super butthurt or because its not good hockey?
All playoff hockey is good hockey. Those two series comprise Phoenix's four chief rivals, why would I care? LA and San Jose are filled with players I don't like. I'm good with players from Dallas and Anaheim but I can't turn on a switch and cheer for them after having so many battles against them.
I just need Minnesota and St. Louis to keep winning, a Western Semifinal of any of those two Pacific teams along with Chicago and Colorado is a nightmare scenario for me. Watching sports is much more fun when there is a team you can't stand against one you can cheer for. I have been a huge hockey fan for 20 years and I didn't watch any of those old Colorado/Detroit battles because I couldn't get into it with two teams everyone hated. The teams in the east are much more compelling for me.

Phoenix being in the playoffs wouldn't make those three series any more compelling, unless you've devised a way for a team to play in three different 1st round series simultaneously.
:buh-bye:
STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The rest of the playoffs are setting up to be pretty gross. Not in an uninteresting way, but in a every team left could be in my bottom 15 of favorite teams.
Go Minnesota WildStars :dunno:

Happy Game 7 Day everyone. Go San Jose (at least we're not LA) Sharks, Minnesota WildStar NorthCats, and either of you horrible East Coast teams that I normally can't stand, but are better than most this year :cheers:

You mean ABC/ESPN, NBC has the package now. The NHL had no choice but to take the NBC deal, they negotiated the rights after the lockout and the bid from ESPN was terrible. FWIW the NHL has never had good network coverage in America. Last season there were more network games televised than ever including the first regular season prime time game in league history. NBC has extended their coverage even more this season.

i knew it was one of the bigger networks, couldnt remember which one. where i was living at the time the Avalanche were the team, so it was a lot of fun for those Avs vs Red Wings series, and roy being the stud goalie. i still enjoy watching hockey when its actually on and i have the channel. i think a IRL NHL game would be awesome.

are the sharks san jose? dunno if I can do that
The entire East division could vanish and I wouldn't care

The Sharks are 1000x more hateable than than the quakes. They have one of the biggest douches in recent memory as one of their captains.
Yes, he finally got demoted and is wearing the A. I said one of the captains.
Stars should only get better once Spezza and Hemsky get settled in.
I should probably follow the Sharks since the Warriors are in the same town, right? Don't get me wrong, I won't watch a single game this year, but it sounds like a good time.

feel the same way about the stars and theyre playoff chances. no way are they going to beat chicago and stl, but nashville wtf? also minnesota hanging back there. looking like a 6-8 seed at best.
how is fighting still allowed in the nhl? it's ridiculous

Good one for a first game, IMO. I hate Blackhawk fans, but there's no denying that's an electric atmosphere and any time 2 original 6 teams get together it can be a fun time.
MIR, am I remembering right that you are a Phoenix fan? If so, may I ask why? Other than the distant Jets history, it seems like an odd team to root for

It pretty much goes back to being a Winnipeg Jets fan when they had Keith Tkachuk, Teemu Selanne, and Shane Doan. My first NHL game was their first year in Phoenix, December of 1996 against Vancouver, two days before the Cotton Bowl against BYU.
thats a sick sweater, MIR.

Very similar reason to why I'm a Blues fan. First game I saw in person was a Blues/'Yotes game in St. Louis. It ended being an incredibly fun, intense game and I fell in love with the Blues' style of play. Also part of the reason the 'Yotes are one of my secondary favorites.
Also thee Blues history is also very entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about their past once I started following them.

I like the Blues too, I have a mp3 of their old goal horn. You're right they have a very interesting history, the checkerdome :love:
I had a 60+ female blues fan hit me after the Coyotes beat the Blues in a playoff game 15 years ago.
Yandle to the Rangers :sdeek:
At least you got Duclair back

Did the Rangers need more scoring though? Yandle is a total disaster defensively, a nightmare.

That's funny. Yandle is flashy but I like Z much better as a defenseman. He's solid on the blue line again nothing flashy, although he won't need to for the Blues he can log a million minutes and he is very good on the kill.
Sharks, Kings, and likely either the Pens or Bs; WOW
Sharks, Kings, and likely either the Pens or Bs; WOW
Probably 7 of last year 16 playoff qualifiers won't make it with half of the West being different, crazy.
I really thought the Stars would be a playoff team again this year, but it's hard to outscore Lehtonen playing the part of "open net" for one period each game at the AAC.
Gonna go down for the season finale tomorrow night, though and watch Captain Jamie Benn try to win the Art Ross Trophy.

I don't, but I'm hearing it's probable he won't be back (not really sure how I feel about that, probably depends on who gets hired if he goes). I'm more thinking a roster shakeup. I think Oshie's probably going to be on the trade block. Some of the other older guys will probably be available at the right price.

Hey Joda, meet me by the statue
What's St. Louis doing this week?Hey Joda, meet me by the statue
:comehere:
Meant to do this yesterday, but here it is:
Joda tells the uninformed who to cheer for in round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs
1. Minnesota vs Chicago- Minnesota all day, every day. Chicago can die in a giant ice fire. If Crawford is in goal cheer for them to lose 10-0 every night. If Darling is in goal cheer for them to lose 1-0, preferably with with Keith or Seabrook scoring an own goal off their fat faces.
2. Tampa Bay vs. Montreal- TB. Easy. Not only is Montreal the "Canadiens" :Yuck:, they're French Canadiens :barf:.
3. Anaheim vs Calgary- Flames, the only Canadien team to cheer for. If the Ducks where still the Mighty Ducks they might be cool, but they're not.
4. Washington vs NY Rangers- eh, do what you want. I don't hate these Rangers and I don't really care for Washington. Ovi is really good though and he's pretty good at trolling on the ice so :dunno:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEXHeTcxQy4
chicago (obviously) cause eff a stupid name like the "wild"
tampa bay cause winters is a close personal friend
ducks cause calgary is stupid
and who cares cause east teams suck anyway
Fun first period. Let's go, Ducks!

8mp, any idea why people are so butthurt and root against the hawks no matter who they play?

The Blackhawks are, ironically, the St Louis Cardinals of the NHL
OR...8mp, any idea why people are so butthurt and root against the hawks no matter who they play?
Probably because of how pretty Patrick Sharp is or something. Dorks always act like they hate the prom king.
Remember two years ago when the Hawks won and 8manpick was in Aggie Station making fun of them and telling me how annoying and bandwagony they were? You probably don't because you probably weren't there. But 8man and I were. And we remember.

Happy for Antoine Vermette (3 playoff game winners, you're welcome Chicago) and David Runblad otherwise :flush:

But yet somehow the defense is still bad.
Again, let me point to Benn and Seguin. They have point totals already of 17 & 16. Fantastic offensive numbers through 11 games and no one is arguing that they're not one of the best C-W combos in the league. But also through 11 games, both have a +/- of +3. There's plenty of flaws with the +/- stat, but in this instance it is pretty telling. They each have 5 PP points which means they have 12 & 11 even strength or short-handed points, respectively. That means 8 goals have been scored with Benn on the ice and 7 with Seguin. If that pace keeps up, Dallas will allow opponents to score nearly 60 goals while their top forward line is on the ice during the regular season. That is not the sign of being a good defensive team.
Don't get me wrong, Dallas is dynamic offensively, and fun to watch, but they have a lot to prove before even being considered Cup contenders. The Central is going to be a dogfight this season and at least one really good team will miss the playoffs. Chicago, Dallas, Minnesota, Nashville, St. Louis, Winnipeg- one of these teams is missing the playoffs and 10/11 games into the season there's no one really separated themselves from the rest.

Solid passive aggressiveness, but the fact remains that despite a hot start, with a relatively easy schedule, and limited injuries, the Stars have created little separation. The difference between 6th and 7th in the Central (8) is more than the difference between 1st and 6th (7). Dallas hasn't even had the hottest start to the season, Montreal has more points, GF, and fewer GA (fun fact, Montreal has played as many games against Western Conference teams as Dallas has).
Dallas and St. Louis play 3 games in December and Dallas has games against Chicago, Minnesota, and Montreal in between them. If they come out of that stretch in good health and still solidly in the Presidents Trophy race then start the hype train.

Do you know if Hitchcock has quit crying about the beating last night yet or not? Also, I don't watch a lot of Blues games... Are they always a bunch of dirty, cheap shot artists or was this weekend an anomaly? I'll hang up and listen u
Unfortunately, Dallas is legit, probably the best team in the league :Yuck:
I think Washington is much more balanced. Dallas still reminds me too much of a team that will struggle in a 7 game series.

Yes, how rude of Benn to run his balls into the butt end of Bortuzzo's stick without even looking.
:dubious:
Sorry @Shock Bonnet but that god awful blue line and average at best goaltending won't get it done in the playoffs. They better make a few moves before the deadline or else they will be prime to get bumped in the first round. 'Yotes haven't looked that domininant since we went to the Western Conference Finals four years ago.
So can we all agree that Duncan Keith is a piece of crap?
He should get 20+ games

Should but won't. I'd guess 5, maybe 6 if the NHL season wants to say "see, we came down hard on a Blackhawk"

That was awesome, grats joda. BTW I have the Blues and the Caps in the cup finals, but TB will win the east if they can get Stamkos and Stralman back.

It was really a great game. I wish I could watch these Blues/Hawks series as just a hockey fan because they're always entertaining, but as an actual Blues fan they've been frustrating up to this point. Blues have to be a lot more aggressive offensively if they're going to win the series. The Blues may be the best all around team in the league, but they have to get over the mental part of the game.
It's tough as hell when you get as beaten and bloodied as St. Louis left Chicago last night, that was brutal. I am quite surprised that the Blues didn't take more penalties for as much as they played the body. The lightning didn't hit Detroit as much as the Blues did the hawks but they seemed to hit a fraction of a second late several times. If the hawks somehow win this series the Blues will have their pound of flesh and I can't possibly see Chicago winning another series.Feel free to cheer on the lightning in this edition of the stanley cup playoffs
Joda, watching as an impartial fan is great but I miss the playoff intensity, we'll be back next year.
sharks/lightening would be party central :party:
It's a lot of fun watching the Blackhawks (ok, mainly just Shaw, but whatever) meltdown.
As long as no Blue gets hurt I'd love to see them go nuclear in game 5
Joda, maybe it was just the Chicago affiliate announcers but did you hear their bit complaining about the 8:42 start time? Pretty dumb way to attract interest in the sport having games ending at 11:30 or later on a weekday.
That said, great game. I thought both teams might be unable to walk after the first couple periods' physicality, forget about 2 OT

NBC being excessively cheap and using the Chicago and San Jose CSN broadcast teams is reason enough to cheer against those teams.

I'd be excited about heading back to the United Center, if not for the games last week. I think the Blues will take game 6. They have been much more physical, and the Blackhawks have looked worn down for a month or more.

I actually don't mind the pbp guy from Chicago's broadcast as long as Eddie doesn't speak.

That's how I feel, but I'm not going to be sure of anything until that clock hits zero on StL's fourth win. It sure seemed to me that the Blues where pretty dominant for long stretches of the game last night, they just played way too passive in the 2nd and by 2OT it was just a war of attrition.
:bang:
2nd game in a row the Blues forgot there's a 2nd period
Bring on the islanders :zzz:

Just saw this on another forum. Tarasenko's average TOI for this series (remember there's been an OT and a 2OT game) is 17:27. That's ridiculously low for a guy that has been arguably the most dangerous player on the ice for either team. Brouwer has played decent, but he's averaging nearly 3 1/2 more minutes a game.
Congrats joda, great series
Good to see all the important teams that gE studs cheer for are advancing.

this made me lol. especially the just have the team stand in front of the net
time to protect our house and knock those losery blues out of the playoffs
When the Blues play their game they're the better team.
The Stars fake tough guy act is pretty cute though.
1 more series win and I'm downing a bunch of Anheiser-Busch products and cranking some Nelly.It's getting close... :gocho:
Also gonna be enjoyable wearing my Blues gear when I move to Arlington next month.

MIR, I need your thoughts on the Winnipeg Jets. I need a team & Tulsa is their ECHL affiliate now. Do players from the ECHL make it up to the NHL much? From what I've seen, it looks like the prospects with a realistic chance go straight to the AHL.

Very few actually make it to more than a couple games in the NHL. Best bet to see a legit NHL prospect are goalies. Maybe a random DITR makes it as a low line grinder or bottom pair defenseman.

Does Wichita have the trash northern/eastern transplants that go to Thunder games to get their hockey fix?Mainly Wisky Tangos from Park City and Haysville.
They do a pretty good job at Intrust. They curtain off the upper deck and the lower bowl is about 1/2 to 3/4 full on good nights. But yeah a lot of the attendance is free ticket peeps but most people are actually engaged.
The crowds actually look a little more affluent with the move to the downtown arena. You can actually do something before or after in and around the arena. People really hated driving out to that dump Kansas Coliseum for a game to then immediately just head back home.
Well we got to the bottom of that, Lamar Hunt Jr. should never be mentioned in the same sentence as $500 million unless he wins Powerball.you're right in that comment, if Lamar Hunt Jr. was going to be the acting owner the money would come from the Hunt Sport group or whatever their LLC is called, and would likely depend on minority owners as well.
The only way Kansas City is getting a team at this point is if Arizona or Nashville relocates. This time last year I would have given you about a 15% chance of that happening, after Nashville's Cup run and Arizona's ownership shake up, I'd now list those chances at nearly zero.Nope. It's happening. My Canadian best friend told me so. Man I can't wait to be a hockey fan.
Hamburgler was talking about expansion not relocationThe Coyotes, Hurricanes, Blues are all going to be fighting to get to KC before we are awarded the 32nd team. WHO WILL LAND IN KC? I DONT KNOW BUT IM READY.

MIR as the most knowledgeable and biggest hockey fan maybe in the world, I have to tell you: you don't know what you're talking about.
Well your first response was about a relocation fee so I was just clarifying.
I would agree that expansion is the least likely way for kc to get a team
That's pretty cool sdkI know Rochester was pay to play (but someone was paying his way). Awaiting details on the Ottawa sitch. I'm happy for him. He's from CO originally and travelled all over the US playing. Lived in Ohio for a couple years to play for a team there. He's 19 and just went up to Rochester 2 months ago.
Has 4 goals in a single power play ever even happened before? I was just about to turn it off at 3-0 Vegas with 10 minutes to go and am so glad I didn't
I won my 5-year, $100 Avs not winning the Cup bet last year and now I'm a full-time Avs fan. Starting to feel like it's our year.

Bunch of jerks. I hope they win it.
Everyone is cheering for the Blues right?
You watched that whole thing? Goddamn.Watched is strong, it was on and I was paying casual attention to it for regulation, but I pretty much watched the overtimes.

Playoff hockey is lots of fun! I haven’t watched much lately because my adopted Blackhawks don’t currently dominate
So Tom Wilson huh? Seems like he’s a real piece of work

All of the years the coyotes have missed the playoffs, they have never once improved their draft position in the lottery, not a single time, we have only maintained position or lost position. I don't know how that's even remotely possible.

Even with two lottery picks this year we didn't improve our position with either pick, shits wild.
