Hawks vs Avs in Western Conference finals, plz.

I'ma try to watch more hockey this year than I did last season (and pretty much every season since Roy retired/ESPN stopped carrying hockey).

Do work, hockey fans.

Bret Hedican ‏@BretHedican

I'm hearing that the #NHL #Lockout is over! Let's get back 2 watching the greatest gm on earth! & let's not allow this to ever happen again!
Those are obviously 2 former players.

One Devils player: "I'm hearing (lockout is over). I'm ready to go, but I'll believe it when I see it... I'm just waiting for the call."
Others are saying, no deal yet, but it certainly sounds like some serious movement is happening.

Re: The NHL: Another F'n Lockout

The "logic" that some people use that they think they deserve some entitlement or free service or gratification for entertainment they pay for is unbelievable. You are going to stop watching because you didnt get hockey, you are going to grumble and think you should be given a hug and a cuddle. The lockout has nothing to do with the fans so why do you think you are involved. Why would you stop watching something you have enjoyed for I assume years because of a few months off.

People are going " The seasons back!!! Im going to boycott!!!" fuck off

GO FLAMES GO!!!!

Yes, so excited to hear this news. I honestly thought we were going to lose another season but at the same time, I had a feeling if a deal was going to be reached, it wasn't going to be until the last minute basically. I can't wait to see NHL hockey back. :D

Re: The NHL: Another F'n Lockout

Ok, need to remember what off-season moves the Leafs made. I know we have JVR now :eek:.

We didn't get a goalie. Or a centre...

Should be ready for a good season!

So glad hockey is finally back. About damn time.

Well if all things go according to plan, JVR will be our centre. He has played centre before, outside of the NHL, apparently his numbers were good but it's a different ballgame in the NHL obviously.

Are Maple Leafs still trying to get LUO? I remember in August/July they were, then something happened for about 5 months and now I'm curious. :hmm:
Yeah, still lots of rumours that the deal will be announced as soon as the CBA is finalized.

Rangers, Caps, and Bruins have been changed for the better. All the canadian teams seem to be getting worse and worse, especially calgary. I remember them being a tough opponent back in the playoffs of the mid 2000s.
Not all of the Canadian teams have been getting worse. Edmonton has been picking up lots of young and talented players, they'll be a force in a few years. Leafs have been slowly improving too.

In reality Vancouver is probably better off just buying him out if the new CBA has an initial free buyout clause. Any trade Vancouver makes they are probably going to have to take on a bad contract (or two) and the cap space created by buying him out is probably more valuable than any player they are going to get back.

Same goes for Philly w/ Bryzgalov and MOST DEFINITELY Montreal w/ Scott Gomez.
Buying out Lu would be a bad move. Vancouver would be paying for him for a very, very long time if they bought him out. They'd be smart to trade him, get rid of that salary hit all together and get something in return.

I've read that a Toronto/Vancouver trade would consist of Lu going to Toronto with Bozak and someone else going to Vancouver.

I'd take Kulemin on the Pens. Him and Malkin have had great chemistry this year on Metallurg.
I'd like it if the Pens would take him too. Do not like Kulemin.

This threads need to be stickied along with the other sports leagues threads. Freakin' tennis is stickied but NHL isn't? Da hell?
