You know!!!
Penner Party!!!!!

That's lean and mean Penner on the left

...and in detail

So, rank 'em: What's a crazier move...Phil the Thrill from Boston for 2 lottery picks or Penner for Teubert and picks?

Moog-Type-S

Crazy? Both are awesome moves!

After his goal over the weekend, Staples sold out of these in just minutes!!!!!!!!!!!

Serious? I he really that fat?

There may be hope for my NHL career afterall.

Well, considering his partying ways...I'm not surprised.

Like I said before, I've heard some nutty stories about the shenanigans going over at his place from a friend of mine who lived across the crescent from him back when he was an Oiler.


Penner was a TRUE professional. Crosby, Toews, Datsyuk, et al would be jealous at how great of a model pro athlete Penner was.

Yumcha

Hey, Waldorf...how long is Richards out for...?

You gotta regrow your mullet first.


Realignment and it feels so good...


Holy Crosby Batman! On pace for 106 points in 62 games.

Eastern Conference: be prepared to travel more.

Western Conference: be prepared to travel less.

Fibonacci

Realignment, cuz "Illach" understood...

dom

So, ummm 4 conferences.....why not 4 divisions?

Yumcha

Uh oh @ Crosby...Bruins took it to the Pens physically tonight.

Rounder

Nashville to Southeast, Winnipeg to Northwest, Minny to Central. That's all they had to do.

This is all fucked up.

So 4 of the 7 or 8 teams each make the playoffs. that's not fair to the western conferences and you can basically pencil in Pittsburgh, Philly and Washington for the next 5-8 seasons, so good luck Islanders ever making the playoffs in the next decade...

Rounder

He's ok, just a "stinger" he said.

black label

The worst damage done to Pens was by Pens tonight. I was nervous that they were going to do some damage at the end of that B's powerplay when they got their 5th man back but that wasn't what I expected.

B's are going to go far if they're own bodies can handle their style of play. They lay the hit when it's there and take the hit to make the play. They are extremely committed to the style Julien has laid out for them and it's a style that the city loves but it's going to be punishing on both sides over 82 games and hopefully into the playoffs.

Moog-Type-S

dom, you lied!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Bettman Cabal was a LIE!!!!

There was no thuper sekrit deal to make Detroit and Toronto rivals again.

You sir, sit on a throne of LIES!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy Tampa Bay & Florida :wink:

I think it is better for Dallas - not having to travel halfway across the country for divisional games anymore. Finally no more 9pm game start times!

Yumcha

I kinda like the alignment...lots of Detoilet, St. Loo, and even Dallas (i.e. North Stars)...

Just. Bring it!

Moog-Type-S

I feel the 80's era of setting up your team to just being slightly better than the lower one or two teams in your division/conference will be making a comeback.

It's all you need to do to make the playoffs....just be slightly better than the piss poor teams in you division/conference.

History repeats itself.

Hello Patrick, Norris, Adams, & Smyth.....nice seeing you again....it's been a while.
How are Campbell and Wales doing?

Rounder

^ that.

Should be two conferences, four divisions. bring back the old names.

Moog-Type-S

^^ I don't think you got the point.

So long parity...nice knowing ya!

dom

Wish they would have changed the points system as well. Time to stop awarding a point for a loss or up a regulation win to 3 points.

I like the idea of the 1st round staying within the conference, although they shouldn't be called conferences. It confuses the casual fan since every other sport has only 2 conferences.

What I don't get is how they decide who plays in the 2nd round. They said they want GM feedback?

Rounder

should have quoted. I was referencing the old names should be brought back.

Yumcha

Some surprises so far...

Who would have thought the Wild would be first in the West? Caps would be stinking it up with that line-up? And the Kings...below .500?

Interesting year, indeed.

Yumcha

And how about those Florida Blackhawks...?!?

dom

Dale Tallon going to build 2 winners.....

Moog-Type-S

Maybe I should put this in the Christmas thread.....but I want the same thing I wanted last year for Christmas: A New Coach.

Yumcha

He may throw around money a bit crazy...but, yeah...he sure has an eye for building a team.

If the Panthers can sustain this, that would be the 2nd franchise he's resuscitated...

Yumcha

Offense, you mean.


Your team has a popgun offense...which, does not fit the roster it has.

Moog-Type-S

^^ No, I mean coach.

Dump and chase...dot to board system does not work.
