Anyone excited about All-Star weekend? Since it HAS to happen, I'll try to be at least excited for the three Ducks starting, and the Skills comp.

[Stef29a]

As a Habs fan, I'm excited the All-Star game will finally be in a Hockey Market ...

Even if it's only for 1 game, Vincent Lecavalier will be wearing the hometown jersey ...

What are the chances of the Islanders moving to Kansas City? Sprint Center is a lovely, large facility just wasted on a sh*tty little AFL franchise.

Here we go again. Remember the Scouts ?

I can't wait for the All Star game this weekend. Should be a good one.

From what I've heard recently, the local government in Long Island doesn't seem too fond of the Islanders.

Um, no? Should I?

Actually, you do remember them. After moving out of Kansas, they made a 5 year pit stop in Denver where they were known as the Rockies then moved to New Jersey where they still are and are known as the Devils

 

It would be ridiculus that one of the best dynasties of the NHL, the early 80's Islanders, would move.

[Ryan]

What's your guys thoughts on the new rule brought in by the NHL today?

 

If you didn't know, anybody who is voted into the All Star and doesn't show up has to now sit out a game before the all star break or after the all star break.

 

I supoport the new rule. The all star game is ment to be a gathering of all the great players of the game. Now a day's, alot of the good players are just skipping it so they can rest which is a bit of a let down for the NHL and the fan's.

[darthYENIK]

I don't like it. If a player doesn't want to go, he shouldn't have to go, or be punished for not.

[Ryan]

It's the end of the first period and currently the east is winning 4-2.

[darthYENIK]

And now it's tied 7-7.

 

Do the Canadiens always have Bro Hymn as their goal song? I know Philly does, and that's bad enough.

[Stef29a]

Nope. We don't have Bro hymn.

 

Last spring, the Flyers really got me fed up of that sung

Hopefully Teemu gets in the game against the Coyotes tomorrow night. The Ducks need scoring if they can't defend right.

I hope he does. He's in my pool

At least Ovechkin, Crosby and Malkin are also

[darthYENIK]

Bobby Ryan: more goals than anyone in the month of January. Yet they didn't even let him play in the young stars game, not even as a sophomore.

 

[Mr.Mister]

just got back from the edmonton-buffalo game. wow what a terrible loss. everyone was booing the oilers at the end of the game.

[darthYENIK]

Selanne looks to be ready to play tonight. It's been a very long month or so since he was injured. From the looks of how they played last night, he could put them back in a good position.

[Ryan]

Well the Sen's finally ditched Hartsburg. It's about time. Still baffles me on how they went from going to the Stanley Cup Final and being the second best team in the league to now being the worst team in the league.

[darthYENIK]

I like to blame Emery. Of course there is more to it, but Ray Emery is just a prick.

[Ryan]

Cory Clouston just got his first win with the Sen's. They beat the Sabres in a shootout. 3-2 was the final I believe.

 

I'm disappointed in the "Habs". They just got their ass kicked by Toronto. 5-2 was the final. A lot of the blame for tonight’s game can be put on Carey Price as he was terrible tonight. On the last goal Toronto scored it was just off a face-off and he literally did nothing. He just stood there and moved his glove maybe an inch as the puck game near.

[darthYENIK]

For the first time this season the Ducks are out of the top 8. Well, besides those first four games that they lost.

[Rachinator]

Even though i live in Melbourne i love the Rangers i try to keep up on Fox Sports but i can never find a ranger game so like... meh i look up the site and keep up with ladders and rangers are failing atm

[darthYENIK]

 

http://www.justin.tv/ usually have every game streamed. There are other better quality sites as well.

[WingedWarrior]

Anyone else see the Canucks and Leafs game? What an ending. It was like it was all planned out from the beginning. This is going to have Vancouver pumped for the next game.

 

Damn, the Sens played an absolute dreadful game today. Horrible skating, giveaways in the neutral zone and slot, and taking horrendous penalties due to their egos. I'm surprised we got things going late in the game with 2 back to back goals but it just wasn't enough to top the Habs' 5 goals.

I'm impressed with Clouston's game style. I find the Senator's game more upbeat with more forechecking and stronger attacks to the net. Though we've lost the last 3 games.

[Ryan]

Hockey Day In Canada has been going pretty good so far.

 

It was nice to see the the Canadian's finally play a half decent game. Hopefully they can get out of their slump. As for Ottawa, they played like sh*t. They did make a nice effort to come back though. It was case of too little too late.

 

I watched a bit of the Canucks - Maple Leafs game. It looked like Toronto was the better team. Nice to see Vancouver is doing good.

 

Now I'm off to watch the battle of Alberta. Shoud be a good game there.

[darthYENIK]

Yes, good for the Ducks, since the oil losing means they get to keep the number 8 spot for now.

 

EDIT: oh, nevermind. Didn't see it was an OTL. Well at least it was that. Thank you Lombardi and Bertuzzi (yuck, Bertuzzi)

So the trading deadline has come and gone.

Is everyone getting tired of this game?

This thread seems to be fading fast due to lack of interest.

What has happened to hockey?

[darthYENIK]

GTAF has never been a hotbed of hockey fans.

 

As for the deadline. I like what the Ducks did to try and both make the playoffs and help their future.

That and that I haven't really known any Americans as big hockey fans. Its either Football then watch basketball, then to baseball.
