OFFICIAL HOCKEY THREAD: NHL, KHL, NCAA, IIHL

Didn't realize it until this AM but Jagr could potentially pass Gartner this year...he's 19 away from being 6th all time in goals scored :hat
 
What a play by Zidlicky and goal by Jagr.

That 3 on 3 in OT was extremely fun to watch.

Sans potential injuries, I think that would be something the league can take a look at for OT, cuz I'm starting to really hate shootouts. :{

Devils 15 shots, Kings 35 shots :x

I think the league feels the same way you do. If I'm not mistaken, the GMs and the NHL have been kicking around alternative OT rules, including a 3 on 3 option.
 
They have been.

That's why it was nice to see it for a full two minutes last night. Gave you a great feel for how it could potentially feel. Commentators described it best, it's essentially a one on one battle for each of the 3 guys on the ice. Devils managed 12 shots in 60 minutes. Managed 3 alone in the few minutes in OT. For an offensively challenged team, that worked really well for them.
 
Monahan with the SO winner on Thomas!

Should have not gone to SO. Berra fudged up and that Hayes goal :x
 


I don't get to catch many kings games so I had to see for myself...damn. 3 on 3 makes so much sense...fast, end to end, and like Jim fox was saying fatigue and open ice = more chance for defensive breakdowns, so more chance of a goal, and the game resolves with a true winner and loser (although this one ended after the guys got out of the box, with the wrong outcome :{ )

Aonther product of the 67s regime...

Toff, Monny, Princey...some of the young guns making their way in the league :x:{
 
Same NYR coworker gave up on Yak since he started clicking with Gagner. Seems the closed door meetings with his agent settled the beef.

He now wants to move Staal instead of Del Zotto because his stock is higher at the moment. Wants to target Mika Zib.

Two things I love about this video:

1. That sack of flour/s***, Brian Boyle, got DESTROYED behind the net.

2. Dorsett ate all of those punches.

Martin Erat confirmed he has asked to be traded, feels like he never had an opportunity with #Caps

:{

What a cluster**** of a trade.

Erat does have a point...he made mention of Ovechkin having a longer leash (as he should), but there is NO reason why Erat should be scratched/demoted when guys like Laich/Brouwer are consistently stinking up the joint w/ no accountability or reprecussions (sp?).

I don't know what the return for him will be, but GMGM needs to do something drastic....this is gigantic egg on the face of the franchise. People are PISSED right now at what's happening.
 
Someone explain why the Red Wings are slumping so badly. Had them as a contender in preseason.

:{ Who in here actually watches the wings night in and night out? 8o

Anyways, our problem is that #1 , Daniel Cleary needs to go. He played well in the playoffs and we have a lot of loyalty towards him but it is time to let Gustav Nyquist get his shine. Alfredsson, Dekeyser, and weiss all being hurt at different times was rough and you can tell this team has 0 chemistry right now outside of Datsyuk and Z. Johan Franzen still decides to show up whenever the hell he feels like it :{

I think we will be fine, we were in a worse position last year. I trust in Mike Babcock. Plenty of time to figure things out BUT WE DO NEED TO START WINNING AT THE JOE. WHAT THE HELL MAN!! But last time the Olympics came around we went to the cup (F U Penguins) :x

What stands to me as impressive with the wings is that even though the losing streak was terrible, we still managed to pick up a point in almost every game :smokin

But yea there is a slow changing of the guard in Detroit, especially with Babcock as we all know he prefers to play vets. I am patient, as we are only 3 pts behind boston. GO WINGS
