remember?! Calder rooted for the leafs last year. Even though I think the possibility of having the flames in the playoffs made him high or something.... but he still did!

can you merge this one too?

Don't know how to order it outside the cable company. Last time I had it was through the Rogers digital cable service. If they don't broadcast games in HD though, I might not get it.
Actually there's this link: NHL Center Ice
That Red Wings jersey looks way too small for Rasheed to be wearing. Then again, I've seen fans at games with jerseys so small it didn't even reach their waste. To make matters worse they'll wear jeans so tight that it looked like they just dipped their legs in colored paint.
Talk of these new form-fitting jerseys worry me.

Time to resub to the NHL Network. It only took me month 9 of the lockout to get me to cancel it, if only I had toughed it out a while longer.
I'm not a zillionaire so Centre Ice is out of my reach, unless it's a lot cheaper. Although the wife doesn't read the cable bill anymore since I have it e-billed to my email addy.... wonder how long it'd take her to notice an extra dozen NHL games on every night.

Habs fan here!
Dr. Strangelove
I'M COOCOO FOR COCO CRISP!
Bruins fan here! Yes, there are still Bruins fans. Glad to hear we are close to finally hitting the ice again!
Ironically, nothing ever made me angrier than seeing Leaf fans at Flames or Jets games when they played the damn Leafs. Fucking casual fans who didn't follow the NHL or know shit about hockey, but they'd throw on their $200 Salming replica one day a year and "cheer" for the Leafs while ignoring their real home team their whole lives. Pathetic. I wasn't much more impressed with Canadiens or Blackhawk fans doing the same. There are obvious exceptions of course, like the old-time fans of the club who'd been fans of their team long before the Jets were born.Kabuki Waq said:
Yeah, Crosby's a fan of the Habs which is nice, but he'd be wasted on that team too. It's not like Crosby going to the Canadiens is needed to make Montrealers care about hockey or anything. And sure they had a few nice years, but does anyone (ignoring Habs fans) think that team is on it's way to Cup contender status anytime soon? I sure can't see it. Similarly, I think Crosby on the Canucks would just be media overkill and would render Sportsnet Pacific ENTIRELY UNWATCHABLE.

wooo Lindros!!!! Gotta love how we always end up getting players in the PRIME of their careers!
honestly tho i hope they arent going to make we dont make him one of our higher paid players.
he will do fine as a third line center.

Hmmm, one thing I'm going to push for this year is the start of a Yahoo fantasy hockey keeper league. How many of you are interested in a small keeper league? Say 6 players kept from year to year... I know most of you Leaf fans have been biting my nutsack for half a decade now so I think we'd find 10-12 fantasy hockey fans willing to keep an ongoing league. 
I'll name my team GoJetsFlamesSensNucksOilHabs-4ever! just to piss off Dopey and Kabuki.
dem will be annoyed when I crush his team over and over and over again just like in all the playoff or regular season leagues we've run. Still can't believe the last playoffs I was beat down by SystemShark because he was a much more loyal and smarter Flames fan than I was.
Even if there's not interest in a keeper league, a full season Yahoo league is a must. I'll already be in my usual 3 or 4 fantasy leagues and pools but the GAF one is always fun.

And thus, 1994 redux begins.
and bad news for vancouver fans
"With news that the NHL and NHLPA have come to terms on a new collective bargaining agreement, Vancouver fans were greeted with news that star forward Markus Naslund might not be back in Canucks colours this year."

Sweet, hopefully we get enough interest that the league stays healthy and most GMs stay active through the whole thing. It'll be an interesting year for fantasy hockey that's for sure, with all the movement and uncertainty over whether or not established superstars like Sakic or Brodeur are still the safe picks or whether you take a chance with a guy like Rick Nash in the first round and hope he gets 50 goals.
Hmm, Yahoo's "Big Board" lists their top 50 players as they have them ranked right now. Here's a bit of it... pretty interesting.
CuJo? Whatever. I wouldn't have Guerin or Joseph anywhere near my top 25, and a lot of those guys like Turco, Khabby or Gonchar I'd drop down 5 or 10 spots to make room for younger guys.

CANUCKS 4 LIFE
(prays the team doesn't need to go back to rebuilding)
(prays the team doesn't need to go back to rebuilding)
Agent posturing in advance of the shell game free agency is going to be this summer under the new CBA. Nazzy will be back the glorious WHITE BLACK RED AND BLUE that the much vaunted, much loved Canucks of Vancouver sport whilst gliding about the ice like beautiful pirahnas. That wear skates.DopeyFish said:
Time to lift that suspension on Bertuzzi, too. Come on Bettman, time's a wasting and Todd's got some asswhuppings to hand out.
I demand a GAF BanPool involving Drensch and dem. Except for the contestants, we should all get to pick 3 weeks from the NHL season and we try to guess who gets the first Canucks-based banning from one of our resident Left Coast mods.
For dem I predict he will be banned my Mike_Works, and the first ban will come in the second week of December.
For Drensch I predict he will be banned by Mike_Works and that his first and only ban will come in the third week of February, when the Avs are mathmatically eliminated from post-season contention.

Well shit, if MikeWorks can't give out banstick beatdowns anymore then the whole contest is flawed! bishoptl is far too mellow to dish out the lengthy bans the filthy Greaser and Av fans so richly deserve.
*note: dem I was pretty much the only person in the NHL threads last year lobbying for your return... mainly because without you there Mike was getting closer and closer to punting *me* out for alleged Canuck baiting. :lol
EDIT: Glen Healy is such a dumbass. :lol With Healey being stupider now that he doens't have to worry about Brian Burke ripping his head off on live TV and Al Strachan all pissy at the players for giving up the fight too soon this is going to be a great week to enjoy Canada's vast, vast hockey media industry.

I would be very interested in a Yahoo fantasy league with you guys... Please let me know if you develop one.
Well, it will be very interesting to see how the Pens penny pinching ways the past 4 years will help them to get some good free agents. I hope we get Kovalev back at least..
Possibly an old time pen Naslund we never should have traded for Alex Stojanov too (hint hint... worst trade in history)

i'd say leafs are in a good position only because of the rule changes. You unleash a team like the leafs on a less defensive rule system and you could have -chaos-, as the leafs main problems were defensive teams. I'm not sure of another team that can benefit as much from the rule changes (maybe montreal?).
On the contract front they're going to have problems because only a few players they signed have an option of a contract buyout (owen nolan being the most notable) and mogilny will be signed but at a lower contract
then you bring in the fact that apparently the leafs are possibly going for eric lindros and that leaves little to no wiggleroom.
