Did a couple more NHL cars, Philly and the Habs...thought they would be the easiest...took me freaking forever! Something like this would have probably taken some of you guys 15 minutes. :lol

There is an odd glitch on the Habs one...I tried cutting and pasting those layers back in...gonna try some more fixes...
Again if anyone wants them as gifts, let me know...I'll have to fix the Habs one before sending that out, don't know how long that'll take.

I was looking forward to all the awful trades.
The Internet said:Yeah, I would have loved seeing Miikka Kiprusoff and Mark Giordano and a 6th Round pick to the Thrashers for Bobby Holik, Michael Garnett and Dan Snyder.
rs7k said:What do you guys think of Yashin? If we sign him for 2M/yr, can you imagine a Latendresse, Yashin, Kovalev line? That's a big line, with Kovalev being the smallest guy on it.

:lol Double talking pricks."Our intentions are to buy the Predators and abide by the lease (in Nashville)," said Rodier. "We have to consider the possibility that the lease may disappear through no fault, through no act or omission of ours. It's not in our control."

Giguere and his wife, Kristen, underwent surgery to correct a deformed right eye Tuesday at UCLAs Jules Stein Eye Institute, one of the few centers in the world that provide this type of surgery.
What sucks about the Nashville situation is that they don't have a problem getting fans to show up, it's suit anemia that's ****ing them over. I know certain factions won't shed any tears for them but that's one of the major reasons cited for a place like Winnipeg not getting an NHL team, either.Sullenshady said:I think the NHL can and should work in "non-traditional" markets...the thing is, the league needs to build a grassroots following for the game from the ground up first, rather than plonking a franchise down willy-nilly and expecting 20,000 people to show up every night. Start recreational leagues, youth programs, clinics etc., let people get a hands-on feel for the game first before asking them to shell out 60 bucks for a ticket or watch it on TV, and I'm convinced that all the intangibles (speed, intensity, creativity) that make hockey the greatest game on earth will translate to and make hardcore fans and true believers out of anyone.

Pandolfo
Pahlsson
are the selke nominees
Kingpen said:I thought I forgot a trophy...
I'll take Pandolfo for the Selke and Sakic for the Lady Byng
GSG Flash said:After his work in the playoffs, Pahlsson not getting the Selke would be robbery.

Carlyle got a contract extension too. I can feel the extra year of grit already.

Mike Works said:edit: i truly think the NHL should promote the fighting and physicality of the sport... MMA is becoming so huge in America right now, it's easily the hottest sport (in terms of recent growth), so the NHL should really try and capture a segment of that market, as hockey easily has the most legit fighting out of any of the major sports.

people won't see the ad and go "oh look hockey has fighting in some of their games, i'll just ditch MMA all together hur hur hur"ShutEye said:But if you are a fight fan why waste time and money waiting through a hockey game for a fight when you can just watch MMA instead.
Wayne Gretzky is the only thing that pushed hockey in the USA and until somebody is scoring 200 points a season the american interest in hockey is going to be abysmal.
Again, I think you guys are way off on Keenan. He's a historically successful coach and a shitty GM - but the odds of him getting involved in a power struggle with his new boss are slim and none. And with most every Flames fan convinced Playfair did not come close to getting the job done with a squad that was better on paper than it's been in decades a change is pretty easy to sell. Short term, I'm not really that worried about Keenan at all, and at this stage he's not going to be there a long time anyway. It's a different situation to when he was in Vancouver that's for sure.Mike Works said:one day later, still laughing my ****ing ass off at the flames hiring mike keenan :lol

i love ripping on you. i dont quite know why
Manics said:I think if this happens that by November some Hab fans will be complaining about the lack of production from this line, while others will refer to it as "a great checking line".
XMonkey said:I think they were just taking CBC's feed and CBC tape delayed it but Versus didn't pay enough attention to that so it got all screwed up.
