You're right, Staal is an innocent little angel, he was just skating by humming "My Little Pony" to himself when the big bad MVP brutally attacked him out of nowhere with a tomahawk chop, while laying on his backside, for no apparent reason. Carry on

Seriously? Crosby, labeled by most as the greatest player in the world, takes a puck in the face, is laying face down bleeding on the ice, and the Islander fans start cheering and clapping... Fucking classless douchebaggery at it's fullest.

^ Don't worry, this will change in 2015 when 'long islanders' will travel to Brooklyn. Asses will get kicked.

it will be interesting to see how many LI'ers show up to brooklyn. i know quite a few season ticket holders and nobody has committed to bklyn yet. also the arena size for hockey is 12,500 i read, which is very small.

"The Barclays Center is not ideally suited for hockey — a hockey rink is bigger than a basketball court — and the size of the arena’s interior was reduced to pare costs. As a result, the arena has room for 14,500 seats for hockey, far smaller than most other hockey stadiums and 3,500 seats fewer than are available for Nets games. The Islanders’ current home, the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, has a capacity of about 16,250, but the team’s average home attendance last season was 13,191."

Okay, catching up on a couple of pages of the bible of hockey wisdom. As domcha would say: teh butt hurt runs strong in pens fans.
Speaking of butt hurt, gosh it would be nice if the Wings could sport the same lineup in more than two consecutive games.
I know my boy Money Moogelino's favorite hair band (and vastly underrated I might add) can speak to how Hockeytown feels lately. Tis gonna be a long cold winter...
Lidstrom, please come back.

Tim Thomas Traded to NY Islanders
Just heard the news.
Just heard the news.
The sizzle in the Steak
The Boston Bruins have traded goaltender Tim Thomas to the New York Islanders in exchange for a conditional draft pick in 2014 or 2015.
Thomas announced last summer that he was taking a year off from hockey.
Thomas is in the final year of his current contract, which carries a $5 million cap hit for the 2012-13 season. The no-movement clause that is a part of the deal expired last July 1.
The 38-year-old went 35-19-1 with a 2.36 goals-against average and a .920 save percentage this past season. In the playoffs, he had a 2.14 GAA and a .923 save percentage. Boston lost in seven games to Washington in the first round.
Thomas won the 2009 and 2011 Vezina Trophy, and has a 196-121-45 record and 2.48 GAA in 378 career games with the Bruins. In 50 postseason games, he holds a 29-21 mark with a 2.07 GAA.
Thomas won the 2011 Conn Smythe Trophy after leading Boston to its first Stanley Cup title since 1972.
