NHL 2005-2006 Season

<p>The season is less than a month away, most of the free agents are signed, so I think it's time for an unoffical thread for all things hockey.&nbsp; Can't wait for this season.</p><p>And just because I love pissing off Devil's fans, looks like there's some bad news for your hero Scott Stevens:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nhl.com/news/2005/09/234016.html">http://www.nhl.com/news/2005/09/234016.html</a></p>

I'm ready for the season, as a matter of fact I'm going to the Devils Red &amp; White scrimmage on the 16th. As far as Stevens, it wasn't a shock to me. I knew he wasn't comming back, and I'm cool with that. He's one of my all time favorite players but time moves fast and players age, it's time for somebody new to step up and fill the void.

<p>I'm hoping for Ty Conklin to have a breakout year and Pronger to stay healthy all year.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Oh yeah, Peca still sucks.&nbsp;</p>

[TheGameHHH]

First of all, if you ever so much as thought that Stevens was returning you're an absolute moron. And secondly, it'll be anywhere from 1-2 months into the season before Elias comes back.

<p>Forget Stevens.&nbsp; Vincent Damphousse is retiring.&nbsp; Oh noes!&nbsp; <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/tongue.gif" border="0" /></p><p>I'm guessing that Elias will return sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas, which is about the same 1-2 month period.</p>

see spoon, now there's two kreskins

3 kreskins, cause i predict the red light will come on the first time the devils score a goal at home<br />

<p>The &quot;future&quot; Ranger goalie just retired due to nerve damage in a shoulder/arm.</p><p>And I've been very impressed with Laksonen (sp) for the Avs.&nbsp; I thought he'd be washed up, but he's showed some awesome hands this preseason thus far.&nbsp; Not the terrible pickup I thought a few months back.&nbsp; Hope he does it during the regular season though.&nbsp; </p>

<p>I saw a practice run of&nbsp;a shoot out during the Rangers-Islanders game the other night and I'm still not&nbsp; sold on it.&nbsp; Shoot outs sucked in MLS and I'm expecting that they won't be much better on the ice.</p><p>I don't like the fact that the goalie can only handle the puck in Gretzky's office.&nbsp; I can live with a tie and a defense oriented game.&nbsp; Roller Hockey International (NJ Rockin Rollers, Philadelphia Bulldogs, Montreal Road Runners, etc.) tried to sell an offense oriented game and it got real boring real quick.&nbsp; Then again, I'm a Devils fan and I'm used to watching low scoring, defensive style games.</p><p>People bitched about the wild card in baseball, now everyone loves it so who knows?&nbsp; I've got a bunch of Devils games lined up for October so I'll find out real quick whether I like the new rules or not.</p>

<p>The Devils salary cap casualty wound up being Jeff Friesen, who got dealt to the Caps for a draft pick.&nbsp; What it&nbsp;pretty much&nbsp;amounts to is that Friesen got dropped in favor of Mogilny.&nbsp; Doesn't matter.&nbsp; Zach Parise is just about ready for the big time anyway.</p><p>Rob Skrlac retired and Tommy Albelin (!) is on the 33 man roster.</p><p>Ground breaking for the new stadium in Newark is next week (Monday?).</p>

<p>I couldn't believe it either.&nbsp; He was supposed to have retired again.</p><p>Did anyone else know that <a href="http://www.newjerseydevils.com/2005/html/theteam/teamnews/mcmullen091605.php" target="_self">Dr. McMullen died</a>?&nbsp; It happened almost 2 weeks ago.&nbsp; Then again, I don't watch the news or read the paper much so I'm not surprised that I missed it.&nbsp; Thanks for all the good Devils memories.&nbsp; R.I.P.</p><p>Maybe they can work his name into the new arena somehow if the naming rights haven't been sold already.&nbsp; Forget about South Mountain Arena.&nbsp; That's already been named after dick nose Acting Gov.

Well here comes one fucked up season of hockey.&nbsp; I hate the trapezoid behind the net rule for the goalies, disdain taking the game out of the game with the shootout for fringe fans but love the elimination of the red-line / three-line pass along with the touch up offside rule.&nbsp; Games will be much quicker once teams adjust to the new rules and penalties subside.&nbsp; The game is crazy different, and I have HD&nbsp;and a big screen to see it all bitches!

The picture was shitty tonight, but both teams
(Devils and Islanders) were using hi-def cameras tonight. I don't think
those cameras work so good for standard definition. Not to mention that
FSNY had tech problems that pretty much ruined the whole 3rd period
with the picture and audio going in and out.<br />

<p>The Bruins game tonight was good, but I jinxed them late in the
third by telling my friend &quot;the B's haven't commited many penalties
tonight&quot;. Couple minutes later ref's call some shit, Habs score with
thirty seconds left, B's lose.</p><p>I don't have a high-def TV, but I
do get the stations on my DVR box. I watch my sports (and a lot of

<p>I'm still a bit stunned the Rangers beat the Flyers.&nbsp; So all those new penalties are supposed to make the game go faster?&nbsp; </p><p>I noticed the cameras were a bit lacking too.&nbsp; OLN is new to hockey, so they have a few kinks to work out.&nbsp; Like when the Ranger scored their 2nd gold - the point went to the Flyers on the screen for about 20 seconds before they changed it.</p>

<p>The stats from opening night look pretty good...</p><p>11 of 15 arenas sold out...5 or 6 of those beyond capacity(the usual places, Toronto, Minny etc) and had 22k in Tampa, the&nbsp;avg attendance i believe was around&nbsp;18,000....</p><p>Hell they even had 16k out to watch my Caps....</p><p>I just wish there were more games on TV...im seriously leaning towards buying the NHL Center Ice Package...this one game a night stuff on OLN just ain't workin...</p><p>Plus right now it's only 130 for the whole season...</p>

<p>I can't believe Hbox and others are choosing 1st game end MVPs.&nbsp; I can see a three stars of the game rundown, but not fucking MVP votes.&nbsp; I know your just saying, but wtf!&nbsp; </p><p>As for the game flow, it was fast but too up and down over and over again.&nbsp; Also, the penalties got to a rediculous level, in essence slowing the game down once again.&nbsp; I do like the touch up offsides, the extra room in the offensive zones, but don't need 10 goals a night for hockey to be enjoyable to me.&nbsp; In fact, it actually gets borring at the 4-4 mark every fucking night.&nbsp; I'll give it time, but I'm not inclined to like this fringe fan based NHL.&nbsp; They basically shit on their true fan base.&nbsp; One question, does a shootout goal count in a players normal stats (both for the shooter and against the goalie's GAA)?&nbsp; If so, the stats for this year can't be held up to any other season in the NHL's past.&nbsp; We're truly talking about a new NHL in many ways.&nbsp; Also, the shootout means team records along with goalie records will be drastically efffected.&nbsp; Marty should bank even more wins per year with this new setup due to the fact that ties will all be taken out of the equation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Since Mats Sundin destroyed his face there's been a lot of talk about visors (again)</p><p>Personally, I feel they shouldn't be legislated into the game...You could make the argument that helmets were legislated into the game, which is true, but i think visors and helmets are apples/oranges...I think youre dealing with basic safety vs. extra safety...if some guys don't want to go with the extra safety, that should be their choice...</p><p>I think the league should encourage visor use, but not legislate it into the game....</p>

<p>Just came back from the Devils game. Was looking for a shootout but
I'll take the win in OT anyday. Marty kept the Devils in the game- it
was like 3 shots on goal for the devils to 20 for the rangers prior to
the 3rd period. The Devs picked up their game in the 3rd. Their was a
brief delay in the second period due to the lighting which didn't go
back to full strength in the beginning of the third. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yeah
I like the Senators. Even though they used to suck back in the day and
usually got the #1 draft pick, I always thought their jerseys were cool
and tried to follow the team through the various hockey magazines (the
team has a pretty interesting history). I got an authentic Yashin
jersey when he was on the Senators. When I play NHL on the PS2 I
usually pick Ottawa or NJ.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><img border="0" src="http://www.huntermfg.com/heritage/nhl/senators.jpg" /><br />

[HBox]

<p>The NHL should try and enforce visor use. Even
forgetting any possible liability issues, they have a vested interest,
ESPECIALLY now, to keep their stars on the ice and not
missing over a month becuase they are refusing very basic safety
measures. Furthermore, teams have to be furious at players like Sundin
who will miss significant time because of preventable injuries. You can
talk about personal responsibility all you want, but more than just the
player suffers from these potentially serious injuries. The team is
weakened, management loses a draw and possibly ticket sales, fans lose
chances to see their favorite players and the league loses exposure
when the stars are taken out.</p><p>Some
injuries aren't preventable. When simple measures can be taken to
prevent some without hindering gameplay should be
mandatory.<br />

get the Red and Green colored jersey?? The one I have is practically
almost had it. I have several of the White&amp;Black Jerseys, a Red and
Black jersey, plus a River Rats one. But I'm looking for the retro
jersey before they switched the color scheme.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What
ever happened to the dude (I think his name was Brauman or something)
that used to spell out the word DEVILS to get the fans to make some
noise?? I don't see him around anymore....just like the other fan for

something and used to try to get the crowd riled up during the Net

<p>Wow, watched last nights Avs game and the penalties are just plain rediculous.&nbsp; I think there was something like 16 in the game total, and of course this decided the game.&nbsp; The refs are truly deciding the game each and every night since most of the calls could be made almost all night long.&nbsp; Similar to the holding call in the NFL.&nbsp; So much for &quot;flow&quot; and or &quot;speeding up the game&quot;.&nbsp; Also, no lead it truly safe.&nbsp; The Avs definately turned it off after they got a 3-0 lead and had trouble turning it back on as it usually is the case.&nbsp; But the Avs had some bad luck too.&nbsp; Hats off the the Preds though.&nbsp; They played hard from start to finish and Vokoun made some big saves in a 5-4 comeback win.&nbsp; </p><p>On another note, where does our bet stand mudo?&nbsp; Last night both our boys continued to put on shows as rooks with Ovechkin scoring his 4th in 6 games and Svatos netting his 5th goalin only 3 games.&nbsp; Svatos didn't play in the opener for the Avs, but has now scored 7 goals in his first 7 games in the NHL!&nbsp; I believe they stated he's the first EVER to do so.&nbsp; Oh and he had another goal waved off last night bc the net got pushed off as the puck went in.&nbsp; It should have counted bc it was the Preds player who caused it and the goal was going in no matter what.&nbsp; Tough call, but still the kid is showing amazing hands and isn't even close to the name right now of Crosby or even Ovechkin. </p><p>Ovechkin has one big advantage in the fact that Wahington seems to be in high scoring games every night.&nbsp; They will be more apt to let him freely attack all night, while the Avs definately make Marek Svatos play the full game.&nbsp; Not that Ovechkin doesn't, but the Caps will usually be down this year and offense will be needed sparing D when they have to. </p>

They gotta keep calling these penalties until the players adjust to
cleaner play. It might suck now, but if the refs stick to it in the
long run it will improve the game.<br />

<p>I agree with Fallon on that one...</p><p>As far as Ovechkin/Svatos, I haven't checked out an Avs game yet, but I just committed to NHL Center Ice, so i'll be checking out an Avs game when I get the chance to see this guy....</p><p>I'm really just going on now what I've seen from Ovechkin...just the way in the first game on his very first shift he destroyed Radislav Suchy and broked the glass opened my eyes...he really set the tone on that first shift for the rest of that game and probably the season...it was an awesome moment...</p><p>What impresses me about Ovechkin(other than his physical play)&nbsp;is that he creates his own shots...he finds the areas on the ice where no one else is...the truly great players are always the ones who have that ability to get open on their own and make something happen...</p>

<p>Fallon and Mudo,</p><p>I would love to have your optimism on this one, but the same thing happens every fucking year in the NHL.&nbsp; But if this year truly is different, I'm not big on the refs calling it here but not there.&nbsp; This is already happening.&nbsp; Especially after one team is already down a man.&nbsp; If it's a penalty at even strength, its a penalty on the kill as well.&nbsp; Think NFL like I said too, bc the refs can basically call an obstruction of one sort or another at any time in the game.&nbsp; Hence they can control the game and I don't care how long the players have to get used to it, the refs can ruin the game regardless.&nbsp; Still, I haven't missed a single Avs game since Center Ice came out.&nbsp; With the one exception of the fucking Chicago blackout rule for the whole fucking country during the last season.&nbsp; How the fuck did they get that approved?&nbsp; It was only available for the local Avs affiliates.&nbsp; I know, I called and bitched to Direct TV. </p>

<p>In a way you're actually right.&nbsp; The jersey was supposed to be an official third jersey to be used before the Avs lauched the maroon ones they use today.&nbsp; It was never used, hence the official record won't show it.&nbsp; I already own the black version that was also supposed to be the official third jersey for them.&nbsp; This blue version I haven't been able to locate for sale anywhere.&nbsp; Just last Friday night Snoogans and I watched some hockey at my place (I've got the Center Ice setup) and sure enough there were a few of them on fans in the crowd at an Avs home game.&nbsp; So they are definately out there.&nbsp; I'm just having trouble finding them, especially when I'm looking for an XXL to actually use when I play pick up games with friends.&nbsp; I'd probably buy the XL and settle if I ever found one for sale.&nbsp; But the XXL would be sweet!&nbsp; Cool site though and thanks for giving it a shot.&nbsp; The site is technically wrong in that they listed the Avs official third jersey in the 2001-2002 season, when in fact it should be listed a year earlier.</p>

<p>I watched a lil of the Edmonton/Calgary game last night....which turned out not to be much of a game because Edmonton is being killed by injuries already...(Horcoff and Ryan Smyth)...Calgary just pushed them around the whole game and looked like a much better team...</p><p>And what's up with Bryan Sutter bringing Bryan Marchment out of retirement? I know he's one of his boys, but did&nbsp;they really need to bring back on the NHL's all-time great thugs when they already have Chris Simon? In his day the guy made Ulfie look like a clean player....</p><p>Speaking of Brett Hull and Phoenix, it is physically IMPOSSIBLE to watch any of their home games on Center Ice...It's so effing DARK in that building you can barely see the action....</p>

<p>Read two good articles today....Paul Coffey's 7 is being retired in Edmonton....a lot of people don't even remember he played there...and reminds me of how freakishly good those Oilers teams were in the 80s....my God they had Andy Moog as a backup for a while...10 hall of famers i think? maybe more than that...I can think of at least 7....</p><p>And the Sabres are going to retire Pat LaFontaine's number later this year...he had&nbsp;severed all ties with the team after they basically threw him out after his concussions...</p><p>LaFontaine was a great player...even if he did score that goal in 87 to break my 5 year old heart...I'm actually more pissed about that weak ass goal Bullet Bob Mason gave up to Trottier in the 3d to tie the game...to Bullet Bob's credit he never saw that shot in the 4th OT, but it never shoulda got to that point....</p>

<p>The fans will be pissed but I doubt anything will happen on the ice.&nbsp; First off they just played in Vanc and nothing happened.&nbsp; Second, the Avs have around 10 new starters on the team.&nbsp; That's over 50% turnover for the team.&nbsp; Third, and I wish this didn't happen, but the Avs actually signed Brad May to a two year contract.&nbsp; He of course was a huge part in the debacle that went down and actually is a part of one of the lawsuits filed in the States by Steve Moore.&nbsp; </p><p>On a cool note, the Avs have stood behind Moore during his tough recovery and has stated that they will keep room for him in the org.&nbsp; He's still being paid to this day.&nbsp; I still think Bertuzzi should have to pay Moore a decent % of his salary for at least the next few years.&nbsp; And just in case his contracts have to be spread out evenly by years with no clauses in them to protect his money.&nbsp; He's a fucking asshole.</p>

Yah, that would be interesting but I doubt the NHL would be happy with the Avs brass on that one.&nbsp; They want this thing to go away&nbsp;yesterday.&nbsp; And according to the Canucks and Avs, they feel the same.&nbsp; It was an ugly moment in the history of hockey, and I'd like to leave it as the Canucks fuck up, not the Avs.&nbsp; Causing another event&nbsp; like that won't help Moore return&nbsp;to his old form any quicker, if at all.&nbsp; The sad thing was that Crawford was a very respected, well liked past coach of the Avs.&nbsp; Lacroix sometimes caught shit for letting him go claiming he could be a real asshole at times.&nbsp; The Avs fans and press didn't quite get it, but when they won the cup under Hartley all was good in Denver again.&nbsp; This event made the Avs fans and press open their eyes to how much an asshole Crawford could be.&nbsp; For he, Bertuzzi and May have been linked to a meeting in which it is alledged they planned a beat down for Moore for having the audacity of hitting their captain Naslund with a clean hit.&nbsp; And it was a very clean hit in which Naslund tried to avoid it and hurt himself, albeit costing him only around 2 games bc they played it safe.&nbsp; In the infamous game, Moore stood his ground and fought a few times when they went after him, took a ton of dirty hits including a boarding, along with the whole Avs team.&nbsp; It got even worse when the score got out of control, around 7-1 or something, and May was the biggest asshole until the horrible event with Bertuzzi.&nbsp; May actually punched Aebischer in the face after a few shots on goal and even tried to rip his helmet off while in the crouch with a puck in his mid section.&nbsp; I still can't believe they signed this asshole.&nbsp; I had an unrealistic wish that Lacroix signed him to a two year contract in order to shut him out of hockey for the next two years.&nbsp; Sure, in this new NHL climate that would be stupid, but what a statement that would have been.&nbsp; I'd love it if he was stuck in the AHL or worse the next two years and possibly ending his career.&nbsp;&nbsp;May, Crawford,&nbsp;and Bertuzzi had a lot to do with all the bullshit that went down during that game.

hockey at my place (I've got the Center Ice setup) and sure enough
there were a few of them on fans in the crowd at an Avs home game. So
they are definately out there. I'm just having trouble finding them,
especially when I'm looking for an XXL to actually use when I play pick
up games with friends. I'd probably buy the XL and settle if I ever
found one for sale. But the XXL would be sweet! Cool site though and

<p>Hey Mudo, check out our rookie stat watch.&nbsp; That's about as close as it could be.&nbsp; Both are averaging just over a point a game.&nbsp; Nice starts.&nbsp; Take a look at the shot % stat, as Marek is pretty accurate.&nbsp; However, the ice time stat may hinder Boyes and Svatos over the course of the year.&nbsp; And somebody teach Crosby how to take a faceoff.</p><p><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" width="647" border="0"><tr><td class="HEADLINEGRAPH">RK</td><td class="S1130539816439" align="left"><a title="PLAYER NAME" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=player.properName&viewName=summary"><font color="#000000"><u>Player</u></font></a></td><td class="S1130539816439" align="center"><a title="POSITION" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=player.position.positionCode&viewName=summary"><font color="#000000"><u>P</u></font></a></td><td class="S1130539816439" align="center"><a title="TEAM" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=team.displayAbbrev&viewName=summary"><font color="#000000"><u>Tm</u></font></a></td><td class="S1130539816439" align="right"><a title="GAMES PLAYED" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=gamesPlayed&viewName=summary"><font color="#000000"><u>GP</u></font></a></td><td class="S1130539816439" align="right"><a title="TOTAL GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=goals&viewName=summary"><font color="#000000"><u>G</u></font></a></td><td class="S1130539816439" align="right"><a title="TOTAL ASSISTS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=assists&viewName=summary"><font color="#000000"><u>A</u></font></a></td><td class="S1130539816439" align="right"><font color="#ffffff"><strong>P</strong></font></td><td class="S1130539816439" align="right"><a title="PLUS/MINUS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=plusMinus&viewName=summary"><font color="#000000"><u>+/-</u></font></a></td><td class="S1130539816439" align="right"><a title="PENALTY MINUTES" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=penaltyMinutes&viewName=summary"><font color="#000000"><u>PIM</u></font></a></td><td class="S1130539816439" align="right"><a title="OVERTIME GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=overtimeGoals&viewName=summary"><font color="#000000"><u>OT</u></font></a></td><td class="S1130539816439" align="right"><a title="POWER PLAY GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=powerPlayGoals&viewName=summary"><font color="#000000"><u>PP</u></font></a></td><td class="S1130539816439" align="right"><a title="SHORT HANDED GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=shortHandedGoals&viewName=summary"><font color="#000000"><u>SH</u></font></a></td><td class="S1130539816439" align="right"><a title="GAME WINNING GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=gameWinningGoals&viewName=summary"><font color="#000000"><u>GW</u></font></a></td><td class="S1130539816439" align="right"><a title="GAME TYING GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=gameTyingGoals&viewName=summary"><font color="#000000"><u /></font></a></td><td class="S1130539

<p>Some more interesting fact in the rookie rundown:</p><p>Crosby&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1st Round / 1st Overall Pick&nbsp;2005&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 08/87 DOB&nbsp; (fucking just turned 18)</p><p>Ovechkin&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1st Round / 1st Overall Pick&nbsp;2004&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 09/85 DOB&nbsp; (20)</p><p>Vorobiev&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1st Round / 11th Overall Pick&nbsp;2000&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 05/82&nbsp;DOB &nbsp;(23)</p><p>Svatos&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7th Round / 227th Overall Pick&nbsp;2001&nbsp; 06/82&nbsp; DOB (23)</p><p>Boyes&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1st Round / 24th Overall Pick&nbsp;2000&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 04/82&nbsp; DOB (23)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It really shows how some players have the ability to play at this level at extremely young ages&nbsp;while others need a few years to develop.&nbsp; However, some organizations like the Avs, believe in development of younger players (especially defensively) by sending their young picks to juniors before the 10th game, or to the AHL if eligible.&nbsp; For example, Colorado just sent Wolski back to juniors just before his 10th game.&nbsp; I loved the kid offensively, but he was somewhat unpolished defensively.&nbsp; Most teams wouldn't be able to look past his offensive upside, myself included, and kept him up at the NHL level where time to develop isn't available.&nbsp; Hell, the kid has 6 points in nine games with only 9 minutes of ice time per game.&nbsp; Yet, he is still very young, still maturing/gaining weight (size is a crucial as these are still kids), and wouldn't have evolved at this level as much due to his limited ice time.&nbsp; Hence once again the Avs opted to spare the now in order to preserve a better future and possibly a better outcome for the player himself.</p><p>If an organization does this consistently, then they almost always have a kid coming out of juniors and or the minors that is ready to play at a much&nbsp;higher level then a year or two prior.&nbsp; Also, they believe that the kids come in with so much more experience, less banged up due to a less physical game and with leadership qualities developed as they fill those rolls much more readily in the lower organizations.&nbsp; Case in point, Forsberg, Hedjuk, Tanguay, Liles&nbsp;and now Svatos&nbsp;have all been proof to the system working.&nbsp; In the end, most players agree that it helped their career to mature and grow in the lower levels for a year or two.&nbsp; However, given the option each admitted that they would have opted to stay in the NHL.&nbsp; That's why coaching and management is there in the first place as you can't blame a kid for wanting to stay in the elite league from day one.&nbsp; Yet, there are only a select few who are good enough, mature enough (physically and mentally) to pull this off.&nbsp; Even if they are ready, could these select few players benefit more from a year or two to develop further before being thrust into the big time?&nbsp; </p><p><img src="http://members.aol.com/dxixrxt/spoon2.jpg" border="0" /> </p><p>Get your balls out of your purse and step up to flavor!

Not to mention all the fucking diving I've seen this year.&nbsp;&nbsp;Half the time a team comes back this year is due to the power play, and a lot of the calls came on blatant dives.&nbsp; This could kill the new NHL as well.

I thought they were going to emphasize diving. In
the first Devils game of the season I think Brylin got called for
diving even though he was hooked down and the player who hooked him got
a penalty as well. That was a very weird call.<br />

Even though I was a proponent of the shootout, I don't like the fact that they're still giving a point for just making it to overtime.&nbsp; If that's the case, it's like there still are ties with the way the points work out.&nbsp; But I gues that was an attempt to appease the masses who didn't think the game's outcome should be decided in a shootout.

<img src="http://scripts.cgispy.com/image.cgi?u=spe5150">

[spoon]

<p>I couldn't disagree with you more Cripp.&nbsp; Sorry big guy.&nbsp; Every change this year was done for the fringe fan, and hockey didn't need to turn this into the MLB post-strike.&nbsp; It's as if they took out the run game and only left the passing game in football.&nbsp; In essence, we have the arena league equivalent to the NFL with this new NHL.&nbsp; The shootout is a fucking gimmick/game you play at the end of practice or open ice.&nbsp; The changes I do like are the touch up offsides, the smaller goalie pads, removal (not literally) of the red-line for two-line passes, and the shift in the ice zones to create more attack zone space taking from center ice.&nbsp; However, the fact that goalies can't touch the puck (the only player on the ice) outside of a little box behind the goal it stupid.&nbsp; The clutching and grabbing rules aren't new, they're just being enforced longer into the year so far.&nbsp; Give this time as I bet they so down soon, especially with all the diving and the lack of flow due to all the penalties.&nbsp; And the shootout fucking blows.&nbsp; Most of the people who like the shootout haven't a clue about hockey and&nbsp;most don't even watch it.&nbsp; So did the NHL actually listen to those&nbsp;who don't&nbsp;even really care.&nbsp; Sure, I'd like basketball better if they had&nbsp;a dunk out at the end of the game.&nbsp;&nbsp;Yet I still wouldn't watch that shit.&nbsp;&nbsp;Should basketball or any other sport go to these type finishes.&nbsp; Fuck no.&nbsp; Play the game.&nbsp; And ties are and&nbsp;should always&nbsp;be a part of the NHL game.&nbsp; Right now is the only year they&nbsp; haven't been.&nbsp; Unlike the baseball fans after the strike the hockey fan base came right back bc they knew that something had to be done with the game.&nbsp; I realize the NHL wants to take it to the next level, but Betman never played and hasn't a clue as to the history of the game outside of what he read on his way over from the NBA.&nbsp; I can't wait until he's gone.&nbsp; </p><p><img src="http://members.aol.com/dxixrxt/spoon2.jpg" border="0" /> </p><p>Get your balls out of your purse and step up to flavor!

<p>And the shootout fucking blows.&nbsp; Most of the people who like the shootout haven't a clue about hockey and&nbsp;most don't even watch it.&nbsp; So did the NHL actually listen to those&nbsp;who don't&nbsp;even really care.&nbsp; Sure, I'd like basketball better if they had&nbsp;a dunk out at the end of the game.&nbsp;&nbsp;Yet I still wouldn't watch that shit.&nbsp;&nbsp;Should basketball or any other sport go to these type finishes.&nbsp; Fuck no.&nbsp; Play the game.&nbsp; And ties are and&nbsp;should always&nbsp;be a part of the NHL game.&nbsp; Right now is the only year they&nbsp; haven't been.</p><p>I'm not saying the shootout is my favorite part of the new rules, but if they were going to institute it, why go half way?&nbsp; If you put the shootout in, there should be wins &amp; losses, not wins, losses, and losses-that-we-get-a-point-for.&nbsp; A little over a week ago, I watched the Rangers lose three games (in a row I think), then&nbsp;checked the standings &amp; they were 4-2 and in first place.&nbsp; If you put in the shootout for the fringe fan, you're losing them when they can't figure out the friggin win/loss record.</p><p>That's all I'm sayin'...when you think about it.&nbsp; And, in general, ties suck.&nbsp; And basketball would still suck even with a dunk-off after every game.&nbsp; So&nbsp;put that in your philosophical NHL pipe &amp; smoke it.</p>

<p>Pavel Bure officially retires, and is named GM (wtf?) of Team Russia for the Olympics.</p><p><a href="http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=141598&hubname=nhl">http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=141598&amp;hubname=nhl</a></p><p>And in a less substantiated story, an acquaintance of mine was at&nbsp;the Rangers skate yesterday&nbsp;in Bryant park and heard chatter&nbsp;that the Rangers were finishing a deal to send&nbsp;Tom Poti and Al Montoya to the Blues for Keith Tkachuk.</p>

<img src="http://scripts.cgispy.com/image.cgi?u=spe5150">

[JesterOfSadness]

That would be a huge mistake IMO....The Rangers are doing a shit load better with young guys that show that they want to play, compared to what they were when they had old geezers on the team who just wanted more and more money and didnt give a shit about the team/game

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v432/Jesterofsadness/crowsig2.jpg">
Sadness has returned...worse than before

[Crippler]

Agreed...if this did go through, it would be back to the same old shit as before the lock-out for the Rangers.&nbsp; Which is something I would think they wanted to distance themselves from as much as possible.&nbsp; I've always been a Tkachuk fan, but I still hope this is a dead issue.

<img src="http://scripts.cgispy.com/image.cgi?u=spe5150">

[JesterOfSadness]

<p>Just adding this from the St.Louis Blues website:</p><p><font face="Arial" size="2">. LOUIS - St. Louis Blues Senior Vice President &amp; General Manager Larry Pleau today announced that left wing Keith Tkachuk underwent an MRI exam yesterday that revealed he has three non-displaced cracked ribs. Tkachuk is likely to remain on the Blues&rsquo; injured reserve list for an estimated 3-5 weeks. The MRI followed two CT scans of Tkachuk&rsquo;s rib cage that both came back negative for any further damage. <br /><br />Tkachuk, who has appeared in two games this season, was injured during the second period of a home game versus Nashville on Oct. 15.&nbsp; </font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="2" /></p><p><font face="Arial" size="2">So basically it would be a total waste to make that trade</font></p>

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v432/Jesterofsadness/crowsig2.jpg">
Sadness has returned...worse than before

[spoon]

I think the Rangers are worried about grit since nobody stepped up when there player got injured and on many other muggings that thankfully haven't resulted in injuries.&nbsp; The Rangers are definately going to deal Poti, just not for Keith now.&nbsp;

<font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 9px;">quote:</font><p>Why
the fuck did they have to give them a point first!? It shows you that
this unbalanced schedule isn't very fair. As soon as the Wings start
playing out of division more, their standing will fall. I'm already
sick of the Avs playing the same teams, but when one division is down
and the other is up a disparity occurs as we're seeing now. </p><p>The
Red Wings are in the Central Division with three teams still with only
8 points or less. No to mention the one other team in that division
with a decent amount of points may be there bc they played so many
games against the other three teams (Nashville). This has allowed the
Wings to create a huge lead in the Western Conference Standings
already. They have 25 of a possible 28 points. They played only three
games against a Northwest opponent and lost two of them(their only two
losses). The Red Wings have played most of their games against a
horrible Blues team, a pitiful Columbus team, and a very young/bad
Chicago team. The Wings are nowhere near as tough as most people think
right now. Their points are ridiculous, but are an anomally of the new
system.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Northwest is beating the shit out of each
other with all teams having at least 14 points. Only one team is

I went to the Caps/Thrashers game tonight and the Caps won! It was fantastic. I wish they could play every game like they played tonight. They looked great. Granted, it ended in a shootout so they didn't get a clean win but it was still a win. Ovechkin is so good--he won with his shootout shot. It sucks that it counts for nothing! I mean, for christ sakes, it was the game winner! I think the shootout shots should count as a goal on the player's record, but that's just me. I'm still glowing from the win and the beer.&nbsp;&nbsp;

back in the day. I usually followed them in the hockey
magazines/digest. And in the aol hockey chat rooms I used to root for
the senators, I remember another Sens fan (Sens91- Daigle was their fav
player) who used to chat sens stuff too. Other chatters you to tell us
and other sens fans how the team sucked and stuff......but now their
good. Yashin was my fav player on the Sens- heck he was the face of the
Senators for awhile till the hold-out (I got his Senators jersey with
the A on it), but to make a long story short.......OTTAWA got the BEST

Marek just had another game winning goal last night.&nbsp; That makes 5 in the Avs 11 wins.&nbsp; That's an incredible number for&nbsp;a rookie who averages only about 12 minutes of ice time a night.&nbsp; If he ever gets paired with Tanguay, Sakic or Hedjuk he'd be a force.&nbsp;

Oh yah, thanks for reminding me.&nbsp; Savtos had the game winner again last night.&nbsp; 11 goals, 6 game winners baby.&nbsp; Now if Hejduk and Sakic can only get their games going this team would be unreal offensively.

[JesterOfSadness]

<p>I'm very shocked how the Rangers are playing so far this season. I used to be a complete anti-ranger fan(although my father is a fan) but lately this past couple of seasons, I have rooted for them(morely because I have felt bad for them). </p><p>As for goaltending, I have more faith in Lundqist(or whatever his name is) over Weekes. I do have to say that these two have done a better job than the last group of goaltending they have had over the years(Hebert,Dunham,Richter(yeah i said it),McLean,Healy, as well as some of the goalies they brought up from the Hartford Wolfpack minus Montoya(draft pick))</p>

Bruins managment sucks and they are placing the blame of this shitty season on the Captain of the team. hey jerkoffs, didn't you guys just resign him in the offseason? So now we get three scrubs from San Jose and it just makes our team worse. O'Connell needs to be fired.<br />

When I first read about this I saw Primeau and thought, &quot;Oh, OK, they got Keith Primeau, that's a decent trade.&quot; Two seconds later, I realize Keith Primeau is still on the Flyers. This trade is shit. Oh well, can't complain Boston. You've had more then your share of winning lately. Now it's time to eat it.<br />

http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/4544/newsig2ki.jpg

[spoon]

<p>The Bruins got three former 1st round picks (Stuart 3rd overall/1998, Sturm 21st overall/1996 &amp; Primeau&nbsp;17th/1994) for a 1st overall pick in 1997 (Thorton).&nbsp; How this will play out will take time, but they dumped a huge contract (3 years/20 million, almost the max under the new cap laws)&nbsp;and picked up a pretty solid D&nbsp;(Stuart)&nbsp;and Sturm is pretty good as well (80pt/year potential).&nbsp; Wayne P. is probably the worst of the three statistically, but a grit center ice guy who assumes leadership roles.&nbsp; It didn't make much sense that the B's only gave Thorton a 3 year contract this summer&nbsp;and hence anyone could see that they weren't totally taken with him.&nbsp; With the way the B's were playing, I don't think this move was half bad.&nbsp; However, the B's never seem to be happy with anyone on their team making decent money so it's hard to judge this just yet.&nbsp; I think it might be one of those good for both teams type trade.&nbsp; </p>

<p>The depth they acquired in this trade should help.&nbsp; Sturm scored on his first Bruin shift and added an assist later.&nbsp; Also, Stuart had an assist and the three new B's combined for a +2 rating in a Bruin 3-0 shutout win.&nbsp; Thorton has his first Shark game tonight.&nbsp; Depth for impact player.&nbsp; It's not so clear cut who got the best of this deal on paper.&nbsp; I lean towards the B's, but it might be what both teams needed.&nbsp; </p>

On another note, anybody going to the NJ Devils game versus my Avs tonight?&nbsp; I'll be there in the 8th row with my woman rooting for whoever the fuck the Avs put in goal next.&nbsp; Perhaps beers at the game are in order?&nbsp; Come on, there only about $25 a cup!&nbsp; OK $6, but still fucking high.&nbsp; That's why I purposely impaired my liver so I get drunk easier.

<p>That was one hell of a boring game.&nbsp; There was around 15 penalties called before the midway point in the game.&nbsp; 90% of them were awful calls, and they seemed to miss true calls like the high stick that ripped open a Sens face.&nbsp; I guess the blood all over the ice wasn't a clue.&nbsp; <br /></p><p>On top of this, the Avs brass are making some real stupid moves.&nbsp; They continue to put a rookie in net in 3 games over 4 nights (4 in 6 nights looking further out)?!!&nbsp; The kid first played in Boston on Wednesday and won.&nbsp; Next he played and won in a shootout vs. the Devils (Fri)&nbsp;at Marty!&nbsp; Even though these were his first two NHL games of his career, the Avs started him the very next night (Sat) in Pitt and he finally lost a one goal game.&nbsp;&nbsp;It's rare that a team&nbsp;starts the same goalie in back to back nights with this Olympic condensed schedule this year, yet the&nbsp;Avs&nbsp;did it with a rookie first time call up to boot.&nbsp; Also, the Avs are&nbsp;have three, count&nbsp;them, three goalies on their&nbsp;fucking roster&nbsp;right now!!&nbsp; Why&nbsp;the fuck would you do that if you're not going to&nbsp;use them when a situation calls for it so blatantly?&nbsp;&nbsp;Well even with the kid&nbsp;showing fatigue, the Avs decided to start him two nights later&nbsp;(Monday) against&nbsp;Marc's Sens.&nbsp; The highest scoring team in the league I might add (2nd is the Avs).&nbsp; So all in all when I came back from my own team's&nbsp;game and brought&nbsp;up the tivo&nbsp;recording of&nbsp;the game and saw the kid in again I knew he'd break down.&nbsp; It's tough enough to win the 3rd game in 4 nights with a super tired and traveled team, but when you opt to keep the tired goalie&nbsp;in you basically gave it away.&nbsp; You need to put a fresh goalie in there and hope he can steal&nbsp;a game&nbsp;in which you don't have&nbsp;the skating edge in.&nbsp; </p><p>All in all&nbsp;it was a terrible sports week for me.&nbsp; My Chargers played horrible and probably knocked themselves out&nbsp;of the playoff&nbsp;race&nbsp;(the dolphins made me cry too Hootie!).&nbsp; The Avs did&nbsp;give me&nbsp;one hell of a show&nbsp;against the Devs, but&nbsp;followed it up&nbsp;with two losses with very poor&nbsp;choices.&nbsp; And the team I play for suffered their&nbsp;first loss of the year in a very close battle.&nbsp;&nbsp;I guess breaking&nbsp;up&nbsp;Indy's perfect season will bring me some&nbsp;joy next week!&nbsp; Peyton is going to get his ass flattened at least a few times&nbsp;by Merriman, Foley, Phillips and Scott.</p>
