Christ... Looks like Clowe wanted to give some jump... Wow!

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

All 3 of the Rangers that were added today scored, Clowe, Brassard and Johnny Moore....wow.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Wow Minni called for 2 penalties in the 3rd so far should have been atleast 5 penalties. Some really questionable crosschecks and interference have been ignored. Glad Sharks up 4-2. Guess they are largely letting them play.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

That was a violent crazy end to that game. Anyone with GCL just watch the 3rd. Both teams got away with a lot at the end.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Jagr gets the game winner..already an impact player.
I can hardly wait until he uses his stick to score:tu:D

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Funny, new Red Sox players say the same thing, guys who come from teams like the Padres or most National League teams are always surprised about the "playoff atmosphere" around the Red Sox, usually regular season games against the MFYs.

For some reason they don't realize just the level of excitement around Boston teams.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Sharks win 7th in a row, congrats Mike.

Pop display at a local store.....

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Rangers really have amped up their game with their recent acquisitions. Fluery made some great saves last nite. After giving up 5 goals on Wednesday, he brought his "A" game last nite. I'm glad I found this banter thread.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

That's pretty sweet. Oh and nice use of "pop". My wife gives me grief every time I say pop despite the fact she lives in Buffalo now. Damn southerners.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

I know, alll my Milwaukee MoB Brothers call it "soda", and think I am goofy for calling it "pop". We even have a big store here called "The Pop Shoppe". So it's those damn "Far Northerners" too. :r

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

It's all just "coke" .. what kind of coke you want, a sprite? :r

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

It's called tonic here.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Then what do you call tonic ?

Appears the Sharks are peeking too early yet again. Expecting the let down in the first round again.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

That would be a peek-a-BOOOOOO.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Avs....worst team in the NHL....this season has really been tough.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Headed down to the U.C. for the Hawks - Preds game.

Let's Go Blackhawks!! :)

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

9 SOG for the bruins in the first period and they lead 3-0, Jagr has 2 assists. The man crush grows. :r

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Bruins sign swedish elite star forward Carl Soderberg to a multi-year deal, he was part of a trade in 2007 but resisted coming to play in the NHL.

According to the source, the only thing left to be done as of Tuesday afternoon was for the Swedish Ice Hockey Association to approve Soderberg's transfer to the Bruins and the NHL. Once that happens, according to the source, as long as Soderberg plays in a regular-season game he will be eligible to play in the Stanley Cup playoffs because the Bruins -- who acquired him in exchange for goalie Hannu Toivonen in the summer of 2007 -- already owned his rights and had him on their reserve list.

The punch line is ... Soderberg has had his best season yet in the Swedish Elite League -- 31 goals and 60 points in 54 games. Well not too funny to the rest of the league :D

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Apparently the sharks are going to $ hit the bed tonight. They look like the sharks from earlier this season. Lovely torres is in ne the lineup tonight also.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Sharks stunk it up tonight, Mike.

Hawks up 1-0 after 2 on an unassisted Hossa slapper. Tight game so far, both goalies looking good.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

I thought the assist was from Stoner? :bh

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Pretty much. Tight game, I hope you enjoyed the broadcast, I know I enjoyed the outcome. :)

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Tough season to be an Avs fan for sure, although I have enjoyed watching the Blackhawks play :tu

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

I can remember years where I had to take out my enjoyment watching the Avs and the Wngs....glad the Hawks are giving you a little enjoyment this season, Don. :tu

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

3 power plays for the devils in the first 6 minutes of the game wtf .... of course the bruins have TWO short handed goals on those powerplays :r

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Avs up 2-0!!!

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Holy smokes, where has this team been!

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Maybe getting called out by your goalie works?

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Good for Jiggy & it needed to be said. Obviously too late....

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

I still enjoy watching the Wings, Avs, and others; Especially when they play the Hawks!

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Thanks Tom, I have a friend who turned me onto the Hawks back in the 80's. Although I am a die hard Avs Fan, there is still a soft spot in my heart for the Hawks :D By the way one of my all time favorite players was Steve Smith :tu

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

He and Chelios made one helluva tandem in Chicago for a few years, should have won the Cup in '92. My favorite Hawk was a Steve too......Larmer #28.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Caught this will watching the Jet-Panthers game!

http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/pictur...pictureid=7777

No many teams doing this kind of thing...thought it was pretty cool! :D

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Saw that promo last week watching. Damn near fell out of my chair. No way something like that happening here.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Sharks play by play guy Randy Hahn (who I really enjoy listening to) cracked me up today when discussing the starting goalies at the start of the SJ-Detroit game tonight.

He said "Reports are that Jimmy Howard is about to sign a contract extension, 6 years at a gazillion bucks". :r

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

The Wild are shriveling into oblivion. Injury after injury..... now just hoping we can slide into the playoffs.....

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Larmer was a hell of a player as well :)

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

AVS!!! Fun win.....exciting finish....

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

St Louis has replaced Vancouver as the dirtiest bunch of punks in the West. Backes, Jackman, Perron.....wish I could take one shift. ;)

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

kevin lowe...wouldnd hire him to manage a pay toilet...how many more years of futility before he finally gets fired.

derrek

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Oilers need some veteran leadership and some better D, Derrek....those kids can't do it all themselves.

Hawks on the other hand....they are rolling again.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

After watching the Wings play tonight, and the Stars last night, I am hoping Detroit hangs onto 8th in the West and get the Hawks in round one. The Stars are firing on all cylinders, even after trading Jagr, Ryder and others, while the Wings just aren't playing well from top to bottom...I think the Hawks sweep them if they get the Wings.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

My favorite Hawks: Tony Esposito and Stan Mikita
Now that's going back a few years

Don

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

I like this. Always like seeing wings eliminated.

Tom an Als chicago beef is opening in San Jose today close to the rink. Any suggestions?

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

http://msn.foxsports.com/nhl/story/e...bellini-041513

Oil fire GM Tambellini, replace him with MacTavish.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Mikita was my favorite as a kid, he ost a little luster when I met him (again) as an adult.

My favorite D-man back in the day was Dave Manson, that's where I took my jersey number (#3) from when I started playing.

Hard to pick a current favorite with players like Toews, Hossa, Seabrook, etc.

You msunderstand me, Mike, I want Detroit to be #8....I think the Hawks can sweep them, whereas I think the Stars will be tougher.

Italian Beef all the way, Brother! :tu

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

mactavish to replace tambellini as gm...lowe should have been fired and tambellini promoted.

katz...worst owner in the nhl...wants to be part of the "good old boys" club...be friends with a group that wouldnt have him when he was young.buying friends...how lame.

frustrated

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Your second favorite team won today, Derrek. ;)

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Jim Cornelison's anthem from last nights Blackhawks game is getting air time out here hell of a singer :tu
Also a nice touch by the Chicago Tribune :tu
http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/...0-16072150.pdf

So I guess Your a Bruins fan now Tom :D

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

I rooted for them in the 2011 SCFs, John! :D

Cornelison is great, though at the game you can hardly hear him over the crowd.

Some people think the way Hawks fans cheer throughout the National Anthem is disrepsectful. What many don't realize is that is started in 1991, when the US was involved in Desert Storm. The All Star game was held in Chicago that year, and broadcasted live in the Middle East to our Troops. And thus a tradition was born. I was lucky enough to be at the game.
