I'm dying over here. Will never not see Carlton every time I see Byfuglien now.
I hope he busts out the Carlton dance when he scores a goal.

wtf....always with the bugs and expecting them to fix it.
I kept getting mid season errors due to minor league team troubles or whatever and it always prevented me from finishing a season. EA never patched that shit...
Forcing you to use "best lines" every time uou have incorrect lineups is pretty significant and ruins all the line-work you do. (AHL only)
Also, Trading AI is weird for goalies at least, Buffalo tried to get luongo from me and they have Miller oO
This is disgustingly accurate...
Could they go play somewhere else and earn 2 salaries? Or would the be forced to NOT play, since they'd essentially be forced to remain with the team and get paid by it? Not sure how a full year without competitive hockey would be for players oO

I'll put on my jersey on game days and talk to people the next morning about the game.
"So Mason Raymond's really shitty isn't he?"
So...there's a chance?

That will never happen as the players will go on strike right before the playoffs.
NHLPA would love that, I wish they'd STFU about this, Fehr pulled this stunt before in baseball.

They've been saying this since day 1. The owners won't do it. It's actually very common in most other industries.
They could agree to a deal that says they can't do that while talks are ongoing to give security.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
League won't risk them pulling back and going on strike whenever they want.
What if they set a new deadline in the season.

They could but I doubt it would happen.
I don't think more time will resolve this, the lines in the sand have been drawn, until someone blinks nothing will happen.
NHL doesn't want to play under the current CBA.

Right, but losing an entire season is a bigger loss. Everyone keeps saying "the owners will be fine" but they ignore them losing a season is still throwing away millions which is just dumb if what they gain isn't worth an entire lost season.... which it won't be.

With so many teams losing money I think they gain more with a lockout and not have to pay the players.
The players will cave in eventually, they have a lot more to lose. Prolly by December.

"So many" ?
Maybe Marvie will have better data on this, but my understanding is that isn't really the case.... and they're still paying a bunch of other operating costs during a lockout.
I think you are forgetting one.

Only 12 teams make money. Of which only 6 make real money.

You'd think a Devils fan would know a thing or two about struggling teams.
Try again, Atlantic Division.
Oh, this shit again.
We're not struggling financially, our owner just can't pay off our arena debt fast enough.

Bottom 10 in operating income says otherwise.
We've made a profit 3 years out of 6 since moving to Newark. The three we haven't was the year we moved in for obvious reasons, 2010-2011 cuz it was our worst year in like two decades, and I forgot the other one.
Check your facts fellas.
To he fair those stats are a year old. It would be interesting to see how NJ did after going to the finals and Phoenix with a deep playoff run.
Like I said, that number was from our worst season since the 80s. It probably would've been worse if it wasn't for the mid-season resurgence thanks to Lemaire taking over for MacLean too.
MacLean : 9-22-2
Lemaire: 26-7-3

Canadians, pretty good deal here for NHL 13 if you haven seen it yet. Courtesy of Mike Works from the gaming deals thread.
I can finally get rid of BF3 and not feel like I wasted too much of my money.

Why isn't Mass Effect 3 on this list?
This game is a gift that keeps on disappointing.

No one wants to play it with the way it ends.
Supersonic you should make this avatar when the season starts and the first penalty is called on the Leafs:

I feel like it's fitting he's on the same team as Kyle Wellwood.
