I told my fiancee to not make any plans for Saturday. I'll be damned if I miss the first Stars game of the season. I would punch a baby if it meant I could get an NHL team in Houston. Fourth largest city in the US and we're missing the most important sport.

 

[ShaneB]

I won't post as much in this thread during the season since it's all busy to keep up, but I'll check in, and now I see those Florida ticket prices... god damn. lol

 

[Merguson]

Don Meehan on hockeycentral just said they were "not really close" with Bergevin on a contract for Subban. Fuck this.

Dat Subban holdout.

 

[calder]

Should I get Gamecenter or Center Ice? I like the potential convenience of Gamecenter on my PS3/Apple TV/iPad but I worry about it being laggy. Also thanks to be a Shaw sucker I get 15% off Centre Ice (both are $50) if I go for that, but it's not really enough of a discount to justify unless Gamecenter is a letdown.

Either way I guess I have to reup for Jets TV. Apparently Shaw decided to purge it's customer list for Jets TV to avoid potentially billing anyone during the lockout (and knowing how shitty Shaw's billing dept is, I'm sure it was the correct call) so maybe it'd be easier to just get Center Ice.

 

[apocalidiot]

It wasn't all that surprising though if you were watching. Most of the time they couldn't even get it in the zone and when the did get in the zone, they usually turned it over within a few seconds.

Yeah I know, it was frustrating as fuck. I have no expectations for them to turn it around especially with that quote about Kompon being an idiot so it should be interesting. Their only saving grace is that other teams will hopefully be beyond rusty on the PK

 

[Delryk]

BOOM! New and improved Colton Orr also injured. Lol

 

[lamaroo]

Dat Subban holdout.

I love Subban, but he better not expect a Doughty contract.

 

[Couchaddict]

He'll cave & sign a 1 year/3.5 mil contract.

 

[Cake Boss]

Dat Subban holdout.

 

[DopeyFish]

Woot jvr only has a bruised foot

 

[Freyjadour]

Blues have invited Colin White to camp.

 

[Zod the Bear]

It's times like this I'm thankful for being a Flyers fan.

Our reaction to the same thing last year? A resounding "meh."

I'd love to see JVR do something special, but I think you guys may very well have a dud on your hands...

Meanwhile your defensive dud is going to be on our top D pairing... great :|

Pronger will be controlling our dud remotely via space magic. Believe.

Football?

Seems plausible enough to me.

Zod you thinking about doing Caps/Flyers on Feb 1?

 

[Kave_Man]

I'm going to miss most if not all of Saturday's game. Friend is having a house party and they don't have cable.

Even still have a SD TV with the big back they use to play the 360 and Wii.

Playong with Timonen will be awesome for Schenn.

Screw that!

My updates will be through score mobile and neogaf, I'll still be posting what I can.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

What comes around is all around.

 

[Zod the Bear]

Had been hoping to keep from giving the NHL money until next season, but if I write it off as a GAF meeting instead of hockey event, I might be able to swing it.

 

[Quick]

Who else do we have in the minors?!

 

[Kave_Man]

Seems Gardiner has a small chance at playing Saturday. But seems more likely he'll come back next week.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

The Panthers' arena is also out in the middle of fucking nowhere, on the edge of civilzation across the Sawgrass Parkway from the Everglades. Literally. There's a reason nobody goes there.

WAT
BB&T center is literally across the street from Sawgrass Mills (massive, massive mall) which is right off of I-75. Very easy access and plenty to do in the area.

Florida drivers are notoriously bad. Afternoon summer storms are great, it cools off everything for the evening. Part of a Sub Tropical climate.



In other news Kulikov is off Lokomotiv's roster so there is hope he is on the way back.

 

[BigJonsson]

lol @ saying the Panthers arena is in the middle of nowhere....its across the road from a fucking mall shaped like a Gator!

Isn't CBC free, just grab a cable from your house and plug it in their TV.

 

[FOOTE]

Blues have invited Colin White to camp.

Not interested unless it's strictly a 7th or 8th role.

 

[Quick]

I'd rather he come back 100%, rather than 90% or whatever.

I don't have cable and I'm still watching on Saturday, antenna for the win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't your dad teach you to only use one punctuation mark?

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

His dad was actually banging his head against the keyboard. He kept hitting the same key over and over there.

Wouldn't they black out the Jets TV games on Centre Ice?

I think Beez has earned a call up. *shrug*

 

[BigJonsson]

NHL and PA have reached some sort of agreement in regards to Redden and Gomez....details to follow

 

[Curufinwe]

Playong with Timonen will be awesome for Schenn.

I hope so. Timonen may be the homeless man's Nick Lidstrom, but he's still the best we have.

Dat Subban holdout.

Unless Homer uses all dat cap space to get PK.

 

[Red_Man]

Don Meehan on hockeycentral just said they were "not really close" with Bergevin on a contract for Subban. Fuck this.

Meehan is the same guy who did Doughty and Stamkos' contracts, it'll get done.

From Kypreos :

Hearing the #NHL #NHLPA have reached an agreement for compliance buyouts for cases like #Rangers Redden and #Canadiens Gomez. Details2follow

If there was a way to buyout Gomez this season that would be amazing.

 

[BigJonsson]

Buyout Gomez right now and then the Leafs can offer him the league minimum

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

This is fucking bullshit if teams get special treatment just because they were EXTRA stupid.

Flyers are gonna get boned for being just stupid enough, but not offensively stupid.

 

[Cake Boss]

@andystrickland: Won't be shocked to see Chris Campoli land back in Ottawa #Sens"

 

[Curufinwe]

Hackel had an article yesterday talking about how it seemed unfair and maybe a breach of the CBA to prevent them from playing this season.

http://i.minus.com/iwqtmqLQpDD71.gif

just put him with defensive mastermind Erik Karlsson and he'll be okay

This is fucking bullshit if teams get special treatment just because they were EXTRA stupid.

Flyers are gonna get boned for being just stupid enough, but not offensively stupid.

I mean hey the Hawks wouldn't mind a special buyout either at this point I bet....this seems awfully weird.

 

[Beez]

Why are you guys always picking on me? I'm going to have to report this to an administrator. Sorry guys.

 

[Curufinwe]

He'll cave & sign a 1 year/3.5 mil contract.

What will they do if the Flyers offer him 5 years $25 million?

So let him practice and sit in the press box every night

Nick Kypreos ‏@RealKyper

With new agreement, 1st buyout window will start prior 2 season opener. 2nd one remains in summer. Cap hit stays 4 rest of this season only

Does he mean season as in Saturday?!?! Goodbye Komisarek

 

[Curufinwe]

Wow, that was quick. I guess Gomez and Redden really did have a good case against being forced not to play this season.

 

[Cake Boss]

Why are you guys always picking on me? I'm going to have to report this to an administrator. Sorry guys.

Sweet maybe we could get a better dman than Campoli, is Ballard available? just anyone but Campoli.

 

[BigJonsson]

NHL and PA working together?!?! WTF

 

[Curufinwe]

Maybe Redden can be a depth defensemen for the Flyers this season. I bet he'd love to try and stick it to the Rangers.

 

[BigJonsson]

Can I get a compliance buyout of NHL Gaf?

 

[Red_Man]

@andystrickland: Won't be shocked to see Chris Campoli land back in Ottawa #Sens"

Have fun with that.

Good riddance to Gomez, too bad the cap sticks for the season.
