LOL I know they play semi professional hockey. I've been scanning the
nhl network for classic games but they really haven't played any... I'm
ready to go on youtube and see if I can find some games!

P.S. what the hell happened to my post above???

I think they knew but the $.60 canadian dollar exchange was bleeding them dry.
If the dollar didnt turn around a few more canadian teams would have folded up too.

i thought it was a combo of the exchange rate and somehting to do with the lease of the quebec auditorium too?

and sakic just about lost his hand in a snowblower accident out here in colorado not too long ago. that would've sucked. especially if it was his wiping hand.

LOL wish I could have liked that post 50 times!
I don't like the new 3 on 3 very much. Going to kill the top players with high
energy shifts with few people to pass to.

God almighty NHL put a team in Quebec city!!! LOL That or Hartford!

i'm not sure what to think of the 3 on 3 just yet. would like to see the first week or two of regular season and see how they are then.

we went up to quebec city as high school seniors (me and 2 buddies). had the chance to go to a nordique game but one guy was totally against it and was being a douche. me and my other buddy were pissed so the next night when we went out for dinner, i went back to the room and put his rollabed outside. by the time we got back, it was frozen solid. hockey rules!!

Sick mtnman, why the fuck was he against it? I was on a business trip in Chicago with a dude I worked
with and we got tickets to a blackhawk's game. I'm not a Blackhawks fan but any time you can see a game
in another city you gotta go for it. We took a cab and it cost us $80.... We had nosebleed seats and met
this husband and wife at the game. They gave us a ride to the hotel that was on the OPOSITE SIDE OF
TOWN. They had no idea who we were but the extended themselves for us and I will forever be
appreciative for it. Your buddy needs to get his head out of his ass and go to games in other city's.

LOOOOOOOSER! Big changes for my Bruins, No Paillie Campbell and now today Colorado picked
up the rights to Carl Soderberg for a 6th round pick... Keep an eye on him, he's going to be good....

Avs are my second fave team now that I live out here so glad to see him coming here. although they could use more good D'men.

only for a 6th rounder huh? from i remember of watching the B's, he was pretty talented. seems cheap.

Im not sure but maybe he is due for a new contract and its just a 6th for the negotiating rights.
He was a better d man than a 6th rounder imo
The avs are going to be a force real soon your lucky to get to follow such a talented young team.

yeah, avs are fun to watch but frustrating as hell. their record should be way better given the talent level.


what do you guys think about Vegas possibly getting a team?

I think he's up for a contract soon and the B's can't afford him. Also their trying to get faster.
Big rumor around here Milan Lucic for Chris Kreider... Makes sense for the Rangers 'cause
they got out physicaled (not really a word) by the Lightening and the B's are looking for
speed. Probably wouldn't get that much for Lucic so I think it's a pipe dream.
As far as Soderberg he's a great 3rd liner but I think 2nd line time is a little bit to much
for him but if you put him on a line with some talent he CAN score and be physical.

That's correct, negotiating rights but I would think that would be a great spot for him.

I just don't like the idea, they really have no fan base. It would be a trendy thing to do to go to
a hockey game but for a playoff run? Locally we call them "pink hats". People who go to games
but couldn't name one player from the home team. Fuckin' putz's, I can't afford to go to a game
but these ass hat's get a ticket from a boss or some such nonsense and don't even know the game
or who to cheer for.

I agree the avs are a good spot for soderberg.
Mind u i think bozak and kessel would look good on the avs too.
Even jake gardiner would help the back end.

I think expansion teams anywhere is a terrible idea. The league is too watered down talent wise now.
I think they should relocate teams first before they consider wxpanding the league.
I still dont understand why the players arent freaking out.
During the last lock out the league made sure to beat the players into a partnership where if the league makes more the players make more.
If anyone thinks a team in arizona or las vegas would make more overall than a second team in toronto or a team in quebec than they dont watch hockey.

I cant wait for the draft tomorrow.
Alot if great young talent in this draft. The perk of not being able to work the last couple yrs is i got to watch alot of jr hockey.
This yrs 1st round could be the overall best 1st round ever.

Even better than 2003?

Also, expansion is a good thing. The League's star players will have more scrubs to play against. And there are enough NHL-caliber players playing in other leagues to make it not so bad....

Some teams could use a relocation. Contraction ain't happening no matter how bad you want it.

Imo it is a deeper talent pool than 03. Only time will tell but there are alot of players with tons of potential to be star players not just nhl regulars.
I agree there are alot of nhl caliber players not currently on rosters but as long as teams waste 2-3roster spots on big lugs with no game the overall quality of game will only get worse when you add at least 60 more players.
Contraction could benefit them more financially if it also involves relocating two teams.
