NHL, anyone?

Tough weekend for skate accidents. They're reporting Zednik is in stable condition after undergoing surgery. That is hands down the worst thing I've ever seen in hockey.

What about the Todd Bertuzzi and Steve Moore incident?

What the hell is happening to Stars? I was out for two weeks with no TV and last time I've seen them they were #2 in the standings, and now they're really sinking.

Yeah, he's amazing. Second place in the league, that says it all!

They lost to Islanders tonight, though.

Sharks clinched the Pacific!

The future of the NHL

Everyone buzzing in ottawa today, the sens may actually miss the playoffs, it comes down to Washington winning and Ottawa not winning.

Im sure they will get in though, but I can sense the fall of the Ottawa Senators comming on in the next few years. Much like my leafs have fallen.

bah, media hype. They don't care if its an accident.

there was one involving a goalie that is just as bad to look at as Zednik's accident.

I'm sure the Senators will get into the playoffs as well. Whether or not they get out of the first round is a different story. They just seem like a broken team, and they will not succeed in the playoffs if they can't correct that problem in the next 10 seconds.

As a Canucks fan, I want Detroit...as strange as that sounds. The Canucks just can't beat San Jose, Minnesota or Dallas this season. They've done well against Anaheim this season, but with that said, as long as the Ducks are healthy, I don't see anybody beating them in the playoffs. I'm calling for a repeat.

Yup, I was hoping that Dallas will face Calgary in playoffs which would be an easy 1st round win for Stars, but it seems that we stuck with Anaheim now, and that really bothers me

[Polar]

The playoffs are underway!

Pens got an early lead

GO HABS GO!!!!!
any habs fanatics in here

Been awhile since anyone posted in here.. meh.

Any predictions for next season?

I would love to see Matts Sudin in a Canucks uniform, but not at the ridiculous price of a 2 yr. contract worth $10 million dollars a season. But on the other hand GM Cliff Fletcher has been a close friend, and Matts allegedly won't sign because he is devoted to Toronto, and I give him kudos for that.


On another note, the Vancouver Canucks have lost one of they most devoted player that exempted great poise on and off the ice, especially donating to local charities around the Vancouver area, we miss you Nazzy, hope you do well with the NYR

I predict a repeat of last year's cup final, hopefully the result will be different this time around.

I can't begin to display my disgust at Mike Gillis' activity, or lack thereof, so far. At first, I hated the $10M/season deal offered to Sundin, but now that Gillis has been able to accomplish pretty much nothing since that offer, I hope Sundin takes it even though I don't think he would lead the Canucks anywhere special. There is almost nowhere else to spend the money without trading the Sedins for a higher paid player. That said, I don't think Sundin will take it, nor did Gillis ever seriously believe he would. To me, the offer was clearly made for when the Canucks end up losing more than they gain by training camp, Gillis can say to the fans, "we tried to sign a superstar". Well **** you, trying isn't enough.

The problem with the Canucks is the fact they hired Mike Gillis to begin with. He was an associate of Bob Goodenow when he was corrupting the NHLPA. He has little respect from a ton of players and he isn't getting much attention from other NHL General Managers. Making deals is going to prove very difficult for him. I was surprised when he was able to acquire Steve Bernier's rights for a couple draft picks. Now he has to sign Bernier.

Any predictions for the Lord Stanley at this point in the pre-season? I am still routing for the Canucks, even though I know it is not realistic they will be a contender this season...
