The season is about to start. Any thoughts, opinions, or expectations?

joe81 · 09-11-2007, 09:03 PM

Nope

NeedleInTheHay · 09-11-2007, 10:05 PM

NHL is by far my favorite sports leauge, so i'm pretty excited for the season to start. I'm a Pittsburgh Penguins fan so I have plenty of reason to be optimistic, I except Crosby to challenge for 150 points this year.

Well, I'm a Blackhawks fan, so I haven't been excited since the mid 90's to be honest. The NHL depresses me though. They used to be on ESPN and Fox and now they are stuck with Versus and NBC for 10 games or some crap. They need to fire Gary Bettman before this league completely falls apart.

Rumor has it that ESPN may be covering the 2008-09 season, along with Versus though.

I still insist that the best case scenario Crosby will turn out to be the next Jagr, worst - Lindros

Without Gary Bettman, the NHL would already be dead. Locking the players out for that full season to get the CBA the owners needed was the best thing that ever happened to the league.

i wouldnt bet on that.

the nhl isnt a big money maker. just look at the ratings of last year's stanley cup finals.

Go Leafs Go

Sir Percival · 09-23-2007, 09:08 PM

I'll say Go Canucks, even though I know they'll fail to deliver and get clobbered, like they always do when I cheer for them.

odun · 10-04-2007, 08:50 PM

well the bruins open up against the panthers.

the season isnt looking too promising for them.

416girl · 10-06-2007, 06:26 PM

Hopefully the Leafs don't find a way to sneak into the playoffs this season. But without a no.1 goaltender, I doubt they'd go very far anyway. The only redeeming qualtiy about this team right now is its captain. You gotta admire Sundin for his loyalty to this city.

Let's Go Buffalo/Oilers!
Go Flames/Habs Go!

Nothing like a sport where the most exciting part of the game is the fist fights!

What? Damn, I blinked and missed the only goal of the game.

The most exciting part are the awesome plays. And they have replay nowdays, so unless you keep having prolonged blinking competitions with the TV, you can't miss it

PGVan · 10-09-2007, 09:59 PM

Wow did the Leafs get cornholed tonight!

I've been to quite a few of the Avs games. Usually all you can see was a crowd of players fighting for the puck near the goal and then the puck bouncing off the net when someone scores. I've been to a few college games and they're actually more fun -- probably because you're up closer to the action.

I'm not a fan of the Maple Laughs. You realize that, right?

That was nice. I do feel bad for Sundin though.
