NHL

We have the NFL chatter, had the world series talk, and I couldn't possibly care less about the NBA...

But where is the NHL talk???

Lets get it going here..

Do you like the new rules?

Will Sidney Crosby be the next "great one"?

Is the new shoot-out better than a 5 overtime game? (philly-pittsburgh a few years back, it was so exciting)

How many 50 goal scorers will the NHL have with the new high scoring action?

Can anyone deny that Philly will win the cup? (haha - included obviously for my personal opinion 😛

Lets talk hockey!!!

Go Reafs Go!!!

I highly enjoy the new NHL and have always been a rabid Leafs fan. Our team still has a ways to go but I am happy with how we've played thus far.

And I have to say that I'm a huge Sidney Crosby detractor. The guy will be good, don't get me wrong. But the next great one? Give me a break. There will only ever be ONE Gretzky. The most onside guy in the history of the sport. 🙂

Think some of gretzky's single season records could be broken with the massive amounts of scoring going on?

Love hockey, Flyers hockey in particular. The Flyers are the 800-pound gorilla in the NHL right now. What a team! Forsberg, Hatcher, Gagne, Pitkanen - dangerous, man! I think that once they play 30 games together they'll gel and go on a run like no one's seen in 20 years. Going to the game tomorrow night, sitting downstairs, center ice - can't wait!

LET'S GO FLY-ERS DA DA DADADA!!!!

But the Flyers will never go far in the playoffs because, sadly, they got two pylons for goalies. Sorry to break it to ya...

That is a weakness, I agree. But Nitty is awesome if they stay with him. Did you see him in the Calder Cup last year? 😲 They will be fine 🙂

Moses Malone, Philadelphia 76ers center, was asked for a prediction for the 1983 team's playoff chances. His response was thus:

"Fo, fo, fo."

Same thing goes for the Flyers this year. I'll bet you they don't lose another game, all season. They've lost their last game this year. OH YEAH! THEY'RE THAT GOOD! Just because you like pussy h ...[text shortened]... IGGIN' FLORIDA PANTHERS you think you know something about hockey! NO WAY MAN! FLYERS WIN!!!!

Don't forget to think about joining the NHL and Ice Hockey Clan!

so.. on the rules.

Do you think the players will ever get the hang of the clamp down on hooks and holds to actually have games play more 5 on 5, or will the penalty parade continue until Playoffs, when the refs will put the whistles away, and all the hooking and holding will come back?

Its going to take awhile. they are so accustomed to their playing style that the little hooks and holds will be around for a awhile

I just wish the refs would stay consistent! They're always calling the weakest little hooks and holds but letting some real blatant ones go. It's mind-boggling...
