Looks like we wont see (Canadians) hockey soon or maybe its part of the strategy to wait until the last day next week, because, make a 30 games schedule would be ridiculous. It was so funny to see last night one side saying that both parties were close to a deal and the other the contrary. The players are more divided than ever after that frustrating day where the owners took away their offer, and now its all looking ridiculous to witness the battle of millionaires on numbers. Does anybody care about the NHL? ------------- Music is the refuge of souls ulcerated by happiness. Emile M. Cioran |

Ian White of the Red Wings called Bettman an "Idiot", and rightly so. White also said that Bettman has been ruining the game since he became commissioner, and I think that is an inarguable fact. The game is going to hell rule-wise, there are too many failing teams in markets that don't give a damn for hockey, and these stupid lockouts keep driving potential fans away. I am glad I didn't waste money on season tickets this year. I may not even go to a game next year. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Betteman have done some bad decisions by giving teams to some new markets in the south of US and now it tries to fix things with owners that can't seems to control themselves when comes to time to give long contracts to players, but what is curious is the fact that only a minority of owners can give the power to the NHL to get in a lock out and i presume that it's the owner that don't make money who gave their vote on a lock out. Hockey is suffering from a lack of interest in some markets in the US and now that owners have spend their money irrationally, they want to have back their money from the players, and i understand the players to refuse to give all they have.

With the Leafs not playing and the Raptors MIA this year, I have to wait for the baseball season. I definitely wouldn't mind hockey coming back, but unlike the last lockout I think the lack of a season could actually benefit the Leafs. Living in Canada, I have almost no choice but to get daily updates. Both sides piss me off. I started as pro-owner, seeing the players as a bunch of spoiled brats who couldn't hack it in reality. However, Bettman's way of negotiating and say he's pulling offers from the table rubs me the wrong way. Both sides need to make sacrifices for the sake of the game or else you can pretty much kiss at least 4 American markets goodbye. ------------- A fun place to review and discuss metal: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/" rel="nofollow - MetalMusicArchives |

As much as I hate them, Philly, DC, and Boston also have strong fanbases that are probably very happy today. Don't know about most western conference markets. I look forward to finally getting to watch my Pens but am not as optimistic (shocker, right) about them as everyone else around here. Been so long since last season everyone seems to forget the disastrous end to last season and the loss of our best all-around player (yep, it was Staal). At least they got a pretty solid goalie for when Fleury starts letting in every other shot he sees. ------------- Time always wins. |

I am happy the Wings are going to the East. I really hate all of the West Coast games that don't start until after 10:00 local time; especially during the playoffs. The worst rivalry that they are losing is with the Black Hawks. The one with the Avalanche has pretty much petered out. It will be great being able to face Toronto and Montreal more often, as well as Boston. "The Original Six" pre-dates my nostalgia period but I can certainly remember back to a day when the Wings were in the same division as Toronto and Montreal. I feel bad for Florida and Tampa Bay who should be in a division with Carolina and Washington, but instead are now stuck in a division where Detroit is their closest division destination, but I guess at least it is in the same time zone. -------------

Doesn't solve the problem that the talent is watered down because there are too many teams. Also, why not just have an east and a west and the top teams in each (I don't say 8 because a round should probably be cut) make it. Divisions are pointless and only leave the door open to deserving teams sitting home watching while division "winners" with fewer points sneak into the playoffs. ------------- Time always wins. |

The refs don't call half the penalities committed and completely look the other way for a few teams whose entire system is built on interference (NJ and Detroit). I already complained a few pages back about how the increased focus on boarding makes these interference heavy systems even stronger (although, it looks like those teams have begun struggling with their lack of talent). Anyway, the policy needs to be: if you see a penalty call it whether it be 1st period, 2nd period, or with a minute left in the 3rd period. Also, they really need to finally eliminate fighting. ------------- Time always wins. |

It will be a bit weird without Chicago Detroit in the same division, but Detroit in the east just makes sense (unless they wanted to do a north division).

Those teams should actually be shut down, yes. NHL doesn't belong in any of those cities. The Devils don't need contracted (though it's not like they attract many fans to the stadium), they need their trap system legislated out of the game (if the NHL just followed its own rules it practically would be, anyway). ------------- Time always wins. |
Posted By: rdtprog
Date Posted: March 24 2013 at 04:04
I don't think the Devils are the only team using the trap system at one point or another during a game. As soon a team have a lead in the game, the coaches tell them to back up and throw the puck in the other zone. Defensive mentality, trap system have become second nature in hockey player's mind to avoid criticism from their coaches and teammates, because when you're opened up the game, you are subject to give away the puck by turnovers. ------------- Music is the refuge of souls ulcerated by happiness.

These aren't strategies, they are interference. The league has been entirely inconsistent with the penalty enforcement.

The rules of the game are manage in a context of the situation, who has the lead, at what time in the game, if every team has almost the same amount of infractions, all this to give a chance to every teams that are struggling when they don't do interference. Remember that hockey has tough times to fill up the stands, so inconsistent penalty enforcement is part of the game, a game that have troubled to have more than 10 teams in good financial health.

I kind of agree with you Scott, but Borque and Iginla are two very different sets of circumstances. Borque actively asked to be traded to win a cup. Calgary actively shopped Iginla as they weren't going to resign him this summer. He wasn't going to have the chance to finish his career in Calgary so why block a trade for a team that could no longer afford him, especially when he had the chance to choose where he wanted to go. Yeah, I realize it's easy for me to say since I'm a pretty big Penguins fan, but the bottom line is that Calgary wasn't going to resign him and they wanted to get something in return. ------------- -------someone please tell him to delete this line, he looks like a noob------- I don't have an unnatural obsession with Disney Princesses, I have a fourteen year old daughter and coping mechanisms. |

I agree with you a lot of what you're saying here Scott. I have the utmost of respect for players that can play their entire career with a single team and my understanding is that Jerome Iginla wanted to be that person, he didn't ask to be traded and in fact didn't want to be traded. Unless I'm missing something here, it wasn't a case of a couple million here or there, it was a case that the team didn't see him as a part of their future. Heines Ward, lifetime Steeler was cut by the Steelers last year, he wanted to remain a Steeler but the team didn't want to keep him anymore. I guess my point is that it takes both sides to make something like this work and the team would rather have gotten something back for him. Really, who knows, maybe Iginla resigns with The Flames this summer and they still get the players / draft picks from the Pens. ------------- -------someone please tell him to delete this line, he looks like a noob------- I don't have an unnatural obsession with Disney Princesses, I have a fourteen year old daughter and coping mechanisms. |

The Red Wings made the playoffs for the 22nd straight year, but it took a 4-game winning streak at the end to do it. Not sure that they have much hope of going anywhere this year, but the Kings won as a number 8 seed last year, so stranger things have happened. -------------

Douglas Murray is a monster. I really hope they can sign him to a long term deal. Guys just bounce off of him like they're running into a brick wall. ------------- Time always wins. |

Murray is indeed a beast.The Murray,Morrow,Jokinen and Iginla aquisitions were one hell of a good move.Ray Shero know what he is doing. ------------- |

The only chance that teams have to beat the Pens are if Kris Letang goes out. This guy is the steady force of the team.

Anything can still happen. Only takes one hot goalie. Letang has improved his standing, in my eyes, but I don't think it would crush the team if he went out. I was amazed that he found the net, instead of the crossbar, in the first game. Could it be he found some accuracy? ------------- Time always wins. |

We have proven we can win without Letang,he missed quite a few games due to injury in the last two seasons.Hell of an offensive defenseman though. ------------- |

Gotta hand it to the Islanders,from the 2nd period on Nabokov settled in and tightened up and the rest of the team played their asses off. But,truth be told,2 of NY's goals were scored by Martin and Fleury. ------------- |

Penguins habit of scoring on their own net in the playoffs is back. Should be embarrassed to ever let a team like that into a game, let alone let them carry the play. ------------- Time always wins. |

My son is already of the mind that we should give Vokoun a shot,but I think we should stick with Fleury for game 3(at least to start,lol). ------------- |
