I not running back,the NHL owners can suck wind as far as far I'm concerned. I think they need a few empty houses hit them in the pocket book!

Happy to be able to watch some hockey.
Sharks apparently had 11 players playing overseas. Some think this may give the team a leg up in a shortened season.

Can you blame him?? :lr

Re: NHL '12 - '13 Thread
 

Veteran defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky is planning to stay in Europe rather than return to the NHL and play for the New York Islanders, his agent confirmed to ESPNNewYork.com.

I thought IIHF regulations prevented this. In which case, yes, I blame him.

Re: NHL '12 - '13 Thread
 

The KHL came out today and said they would not let players with current NHL contracts to play in the K after the NHL starts. It wil be interesting to see where this goes.

Of course, I meant "can you blame him" because the Islanders suck so bad. :r

Re: NHL '12 - '13 Thread
 

They'll never improve if even their average, past their prime players can't be bothered to play for them. It is a shame the way this franchise has been run in the past XX years.

About the KHL, even Kovalchuk was considering remaining there. I have nothing against Russians playing in Russia, but when thay have an NHL contract, they have to honor it. GMs, after all, put effort into drafting/signing/trading for them.

Re: NHL '12 - '13 Thread
 

Agreed on honoroing the contract. I hear the Devils, and Kovalchuk's agent, expect him back.

If you want to see the top prospects for the 2013 NHL draft, NHL TV will be airing the CHL Prospect game live on 1/16/13.

This one isn't like an "all star" game, and usually features hard hitting, serious defense and an occassional scrap.

Re: NHL '12 - '13 Thread
 

Have never even seen one, so will set the DVR now.... Thanks for the heads up!

Re: NHL '12 - '13 Thread
 

I heard a rumor about free Center Ice for the season.... Any legs to this?

Re: NHL '12 - '13 Thread
 

I checled the DirecTV website this morning, looks like their plan is just to charge for a partial season, unless the league steps in.

Has he watched our goaltender play?? :hn

Was up in Toronto for the weekend and finally made it to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Good time, even the wife enjoyed it. Got to put my arm around the Cup for a nice pic.
