Bourque speaks for the first time since I think April

"I definitely have something to prove to the people here and the organization, but I'm confident in myself that I'm still a good player. I know I am. I just have to go out there starting next Saturday and prove it."

How dare Evander Kane fail to show up 3 days early for work.

According to Aaron Ward, teams received their final schedules already

Unleash it on me godammit. Need to save up for tickets.

Fuck somebody leak that shit already!

Sabres beat writers saying the first game on NBC will be Buffalo and Philly, 12:30 on Sunday. Excited, but that means my season will be starting off with some creepy Pierre.

 

[yankeehater]

Damn would suck if the Flyers had to open with the Pens and Sabers back to back. That is a tough way to start.

And two afternoon games. Flyers are probably gonna get a lot of those games too since we get really good NBC ratings and they're gonna try to make sure to schedule as many high profile games as possible in the short time they have.

Didnt the Flyers suck in afternoon games last year? I would rther them play night games but I bet you are right about NBC pushing for teams with big ratings for the shortened season.

 

[Zod the Bear]

Afternoon games = kryptonite. Everything will be horrible forever.

Why do they seem so ready to run Kane out of town? If they don't want him, I'll take him.

Pretty sure that will be the case for both teams, which sucks. Miller has a propensity for allowing 5-6 goals in afternoon games for whatever reason.

Dear Evander,

We here in South Florida love black people.

Fight the power,

6 goals for the Flyers sounds good.

Bryz will give up 8

PA vote ends at 8am est time. I suggest you follow, Saturaday will be Free Agency redux and will be glorious.

Ooooh, nice. Would like the Pens to snatch up another veteran dman.

The OP's follow up thread: GAF I'm a father what do I do?

Nah man, she told him it's cool to not use condoms, it's not like she could be lying or anything.

Winnipeg is doing a great job at trying to 1 up Montreal in the running players out of town department. No way Kane last his contract there if shit like that keeps coming up.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

@GeorgeRichards: Kovalev just scored a dirty top-shelf goal v Theodore...right in front of a nodding Tallon and Dineen #FlaPanthers

Lawd we're getting on the Kovalev train arn't we?

Reading it now. Only on page 2. I'm intrigued. Looking forward to future developments as I go along.

Rangers sched sorta

 

[lamaroo]

Oh shit I can post now, just in time for the season.

 

[TUSR]

Really wanted to see a Van vs. NYR game this year.

huge Nash fan.

Gotta wait until next year as its all inter conference this season

 

[The Elite]

Season going right up until the end of April?

Playoffs will hit the end of June this year.

Edit: Meant end of June.

Rangers sched sorta

Stretching KingHenrik's box Feb. 20 and Feb. 23, and his anus March 30.

I saw before that the last day of the playoffs is June 25, so I expect back-to-backs in the playoffs.

Not like he will see those games anyway.

They expect end of June... Draft may be occurring essentially days after cup depending , FA day is expected to be July 5th or something

It does happen. Montreal/Boston Game 6/Game 7 in 2010-2011 was back-to-back (even worse - Montreal one day and Boston the next) because fucking Lady Gaga had the Bell Centre booked and the game had to be pushed.

:lol

 

[DopeyFish]

Apparently nhl changed schedule format again

4x for every division team

 

[Osorio]

We start against the Isles at the Coliseum.

Home opener against Philly on the 22nd.

 

[Solo]

4 x 14 = 56

Can't be that.

 

[pringles]

I have a feeling we'll see the Rags play against a western conference team this season..

That would be the worst most unfair possible schedule they could come up with.

Move 'em back, NHL!

 

[DopeyFish]

Yeah appears to be 4x for divisions

NYR schedule shows it- gotta wait for details

 

[Solo]

So they've reduced the number of in-division games.

So that leaves 32 non-division games vs 10 teams. Da fuck?

 

[Plinko]

Weird scheduling change, but I expected it--it's got to be an insane process getting this schedule done.

 

[yankeehater]

I am definitely in favor of less division games, I thought people were saying it was going to be more at first.

 

[Solo]

Maybe there WILL be 2 out of conference games.

I mean, 4 games x 4 division teams = 16 games
3 games x 10 conference teams = 30 games, 46 total
1 game x 2 other conference teams = 2 games, 48 total

Just a guess. I know NYR's alleged sched refutes it, but....how else do you decide which 2 of 10 out of division teams you play 3 times instead of 2?

 

[DopeyFish]

I am definitely in favor of less division games, I thought people were saying it was going to be more at first.

Divs were to be 5/5/4/4 and 3 for rest of conf

That schedule properly shows 5/5/4/4 (so my bad, I'm blind)

So either they are having a 46 game season, or the sched is uneven

 

[yankeehater]

Weird that it would be 46 games when everyone has been saying 48. They do need some out of conference games so all the Canadian teams can play each other.

5x2 =10
4x2 = 8

10 + 8 + 30 = 48

Fuck you, Dopey! Got it all screwed around for nothing :lol

Fun Fact: The last time the Rangers won IN Montreal Nikolai Zherdev was on the team.

I was in Montreal last season and saw Habs route the Rags 4-0.

 

[toro5741]

They have 4x against the Devils and Islanders
5x against the Pens and Flyers

Edit: Beaten

 

[Solo]

I'm guessing, for rivalries sake and ratings sake, Habs' 2 teams they play 5 games against will be Toronto and Boston.
