Little Schenn is no Wayne Simmonds.

I bet Simmonds :chuckled: and shook his head.

I watched the NHL 36 with Kane....

I guess even the producers couldn't edit out his douche-ness.

What a jackass.

dom

What in the hell is NHL 36? I don't think we get that in Canada land.

Yumcha

Could've sworn it was on TSN. Never seen it though. No interest.

Yumcha

As I said before, I think him beating up a cab driver is enough indication of how much growing up he has to do.

Still, does not change his value to the Hawks or that he scored the GWG for the Cup in 2010. If Chicago got fair-value for him, I would not lose sleep if they traded him though.

NBCSports...aka...the old Versus..runs the show.

Basically take one player, follow them with a camera for 36 hours.
It's a one hour show BTW. I think you can find them on youtube.

Lidstrom = Class Act!
Bergeron =
Kane = super douche spectacular

It's like a poorly produced less interesting 24/7.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Owen Nolan, who hasn't played in the NHL since the 2009-10 season, announced his retirement Tuesday at the San Jose Sharks home rink.

Nolan, who lives in San Jose, played 18 seasons and scored 422 goals with 463 assists in 1,200 games. He played for the Quebec Nordiques and Colorado Avalanche, the Sharks, Toronto Maple Leafs, Phoenix Coyotes, Calgary Flames and, most recently, the Minnesota Wild.

He was with the Wild in 2009-10 and played in Zurich last year.

Nolan retires ranked 71st on the NHL's career goals list, 33rd in power-play goals and 100th in points.

The former Sharks captain, who turns 40 Sunday, was the first overall pick in the 1990 draft.

Perhaps an exciting winter classic will return.

I would love to see another winter classic, especially at the big house which is my favorite stadium to see a college football stadium, but if it's the pink things and the queefs, no thanks

dom

I know, who the hell would want to see 2 of hockey's most storied franchises?

If they both could lose, then I'd be down

BTW, I've seen every WC so of course I'll watch it, but I only attended 1

And how storied have the maple syrups been since 1967?

dom

Doesn't matter how bad they've sucked. They draw a crowd everywhere they go, and people are what you need to fill the big house.

Now that Crosby and Ovie are done the NHL has to start learning how to market something/anything else.

+1 for Wings V Leafs.

Historic, and epic in The Big House.

Please no more NY & Penn. teams....in non-legendary stadiums...it's getting really old, & tired.

Hawks season is approaching proportions.



Good thing I have the Bulls to watch.

Yumcha

+1 also for Leaves versus Meh Things...


I hope the Leaves punt the Things up and down the stadium too!

Seems like the Hawks need a big name goaltender.

NHL TO ANNOUNCE 2013 WINTER CLASSIC AT MICHIGAN STADIUM
The National Hockey League is set to make an official announcement on Thursday that the Detroit Red Wings will host the 2013 Winter Classic, which will reportedly pit the home team against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr and numerous representatives from both teams are expected to be on hand for the announcement.

The announcement will be made in two parts, the first being made at Comerica Park at 10:30am et and the second part taking place at Michigan Stadium at 1:15pm et.

Buffalo, Chicago, Boston, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia have hosted the event, though the crowd for a Michigan Stadium game would likely be the biggest.

Michigan and Michigan State attracted a record 104,173 fans for an outdoor game on Dec. 11, 2010.

Problems are not in goal per se. The defensive play has been horrible...seriously, epically horrible.

Yumcha

And before you and dom crucify and or start up some shenanigans about how I'm smoking a bong or whatever, I will say that the Hawks' goalies have not stolen them any games either. But, the terrible GAA you see right now is not all on the goalies.

They are not the reason the PK and defensive plays are awful.


Campbell's loss is bigger than most would admit. He was not worth $7M a year...but, he was a very good #3/#4...

I'll trade ya JMFJ and Bernier for Sharp & Toes. :wink:

You can keep el douche.

Yumcha

Isn't JMFJ's +/- the equivalent to the winters up here?!?? No thanks.

Moog-Type-S

Kings have scored 3 or more goals ONLY 16 times this season.
Their record when doing so: 15-0-1

Considering the above...is Quick their MVP....you bet.

Moog-Type-S

You guys are desperate. JMFJ will be brilliant for you guys with the sack of you have on the blue-line. :wink:

Besides....if Poo says it, it will happen!!!


On a serious note, I don't see the Kings moving JMFJ

However if anyone wants Stoll, Pancakes, Mitchell, Hunter, Fraser...be my guest. I'll take some gatorade and some pucks in return. :wink:

Yumcha

@ Pancakes nickname...that's brilliant.


Well, to be honest, I would love JMFJ on the team. But, his asking price would be through the roof and Deano would be stupid to trade him.

Chicago needs a bonafide #3/#4 guy. Leddy is miscast right now at his career in that spot.



Anyhow, excuse me while I continue to panic.

black label

Wasn't Mitchell your hero last year? I seem to remember Poni and Mitchell being the keys to the teams success.

Moog-Type-S

In reality...other than some sort of huge blockbuster type game changing deal, I see the Kings perhaps putting these players on the table for the deadline (picks and minor league guys not included):

Bernier.....This will be the last season Quick & Bernier play together. He is dealt at the deadline or over the summer. You were the future, kid, but Quick is nothing short of brilliant, so he takes the crown. My gut tells me with more ice time you will be a decent #1 on another team.

Martinez: Good kid with a lot of upside. Why deal him? One word: Voynov.
Sorry Martinez, you are good, but Voynov is that much better, and Deano is not moving Voynov...even though he would bring more in return....it would have to be huge to move Voynov....so you are on the block.

Pancakes, Fraser, Hunter, Mitchell, Stoll: ...because some of you suck, some of you are meh, and some of you are in the last year of your contract, and you will not return to L.A....rentals anyone?

Moog-Type-S

Mitchell is in his last contract year.

Kings D depth is big.....I don't see him being resigned...it will be nice to free up the $3.5 mill.

Moog-Type-S

OH, PLEEEAAAAASE, POO!!!! PLEASE BE RIGHT ON ONE THING FOR ONCE...AND LET IT BE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



It is not an impossibility the Leafs end up grabbing Dustin Penner from the Kings.... The impression I got today is the Leafs are waiting to see if LA needs to make a salary dump in an effort to land a bigger fish, in which case Penner could be had for very little. While I am not a huge fan of Penner, he is a pending UFA and could be an excellent rental and bring size to Toronto without the Leafs giving up much.

Moog-Type-S

Pancakes to the Maple syrups....OH THE IRONY!!!!!!

Penner has not performed this year at all.

We always joke about players getting traded for a bag of pucks. In this case, it may be the first time it actually happens.

Penner to the maple syrups? Please be true

black label

Didn't he take 3rd place in Nathans Hot Dog eating contest? Although I guess that was technically last year.

black label

Hoping a 6-0 loss to the Sabres provided the much needed wake up call to the Bruins that November is long gone and they need to actually keep winning games. They displayed some of the worst passing I have ever seen in a NHL game.

Moog-Type-S

You can't deny that Penner and the Leafs are a perfect fit.

A match made in breakfast heaven.

Do it, Burke!!!!!

Yumcha

Well, Burke was always sore about losing Penner to the Oilers...so, maybe he truly does want Pancakes to be a Leaf.


Still, I would be shocked if any team is retarded enough to pick up that loafer.
