Oh and our captain can finally legally drink
The sizzle in the Steak
Would have thought the Avs were better than they appeared.
They barely beat the Kings minor league team.
Unimpressed with the Avs offense.
Impressed however by their defense. I liked their old school style of penalty kill - lining up 4 guys on their blue line to kill the break-in into the zone. It was problematic for the Kings to have to dump and chase to get the PP set up (which never really happened that much).

^ And that's a good thing. Defense wins games and playoffs series.
Just ask the Pens, the Caps from prior, and the Oilers how all-out offense works in the NHL and how successful that is.

Well, given the hatred from last season...I want bench-clearing brawls. I want bloodshed.
I want to see Crosby duke it out with Rask (esp. with that conversation they were trying to have in the playoffs). I want to see Bergeron street-fight Malkin. I want to see Thornton duke out with Orpik...

Forbes annual list out again. Leafs top the charts at 1.15 billion. I imagine that will go up when they win the cup in the spring.

Glad to see you made it to the game and was able to snag a bobble head of your favorite player.

From what I read, the original estimate for the leafs was 1.45 billion. They had all the players carrying sacks of money in to be counted. The original estimate was proven to be incorrect when they realized the sack Kessel was holding was only half full.

Deal gives Rogers rights to all NHL games through 2025-26
Beginning next year, Rogers will own the rights to every NHL game broadcast in Canada, thanks to a massive $5.2-billion deal announced today
Starting next season, Rogers Communications will be the National Hockey League’s exclusive broadcast and multimedia partner in Canada.
As part of the $5.2 billion, 12-year agreement, Rogers obtains the national rights on all platforms to every NHL game through the 2025-26 campaign—including all playoff games and the Stanley Cup Final.
“Canadians are passionate about hockey, and through this landmark partnership with the NHL we’ll be able to bring hockey fans more games and more content on their platform of choice,” said Nadir Mohamed, the President and CEO of Rogers Communications.
The deal—the largest of its kind in NHL history—also includes the NHL Centre Ice and NHL Game Centre Live properties, as well as rights to the All-Star Game and the NHL Draft. This is the first time a major league in North America has made such a long-term commitment to a single company.
As a result of this deal, Canadians will be able to find NHL game coverage on up to nine different channels on some nights during the season.
“Our fans always want to explore deeper and more emotional connections to NHL hockey,” said NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, “and that is precisely what Rogers has promised to deliver over the next 12 years–channeling the reach of its platforms and the intensity of its passion for the game into an unparalleled viewing experience.”
Rogers, already a big player in the Canadian sports landscape thanks to its ownership of the Toronto Blue Jays and a 37.5 percent stake in Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, will spread game coverage to all of its platforms, including the radio—both terrestrial and satellite—and the web, through internet streaming as well as wireless and mobile tablets. The agreement also gives the company ownership of all digital highlights.
“Our vision is to build on the NHL’s legacy in Canada with an emphasis on storytelling, innovation, and technology—weaving the NHL, its teams and its stars even deeper into the fabric of Canadian culture,” said Keith Pelley, the President of Rogers Media. “Today’s announcement significantly increases the value of our premium Sportsnet brand and reinforces our commitment to making Sportsnet the No. 1 sports media brand in Canada.”
The $5.2-billion deal is comprised of annual payments, starting at just over $300 million next year then increasing gradually to more than $500 million in the final year. There is also a $150 million upfront payment that will be spread over the deal’s first two years.
As part of a separate sub-licensing deal, Rogers selected the CBC as its partner for the English-language broadcasts of Hockey Night in Canada.(TVA was selected as the partner for all French-language broadcasts.)
The Board of Governors will vote on the agreement when they meet during the second week of December.

“The team that scares the living hell out of me is Russia,” he said. “Because it’s their home soil, it’s going to be crazy there, and we hear rumours of huge bonuses for players if they win gold.”

^ That's awesome...meanwhile, I had to pony $460 for 2 tickets to watch a recent tilt with the Hawks here.
But, it was worth it to see the end result.

I think you misunderstand, the team itself won't move, it's the U.S. borders that are relocating when Canada gets assimilated.
