A little heart broken on Jody Shelley being traded to the Rangers. Brad Staubitz better become the new ass kicker.

Don't like the way the Sharks ended the Olympic break period tonight against the Sabers.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I was talking to Scott Nichol's wife today. Scotts son Hayden is on the same team as my son. She was saying that he knew it was comming. The team made the effort to find him a home and not release him on waivers. Speaking of that did you see Chechoo got put on waivers and Cleared them. YIKES! Only 5 goals in 61 games.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I'm glad Shelley is somewhere where he is wanted. I used to hate that guy especially after the hit he put on Brad Stuart years ago, but he became a favorite once he joined.

As for Cheech, I don't know what happened but he has become garbage. I would love to pick him up off waivers but his contract makes it impossible. I believe its 3 mil a year.

And how cool is it to be friends with Nichol's wife, I wish we had 10 of him on this team, hopefully his grit will make the playoff run more fruitfull

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Shelley is a super nice guy. My niece was at the rink last year when he was hurt and stayed behind on a road trip. He got her out on the ice and let her skate with him. She got to shot on the goaltender, and he even gave her a stick and signed it. He is a really nice guy. Eirhoff on the other hand. That guy is a friggin Dbag. I was glad to see him go. I saw him pull some crap at the rink a few times.

The issue with Staubitz though is he is not a heavyweight. You are not going to see him taking on the Boogie man or Pharros etc. So now the Sharks dont have that true enforcer if the need him. Remember Brantt Myhres? Talk about a friggin goon! man I loved that guy.

As to Nichol's wife she and he are great people. He is the nicest guy off the ice, soft spoken unassuming you would never know he is an NHLer. Its great when he comes out and helps us coach the kids. We always joke around like we are giving him advice on skating :r Hayden is a great kid also.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Glad you got to see Whitney for VDay, Joe, but I agree,,,he will be highly sought after when the Olympics end.

Miller was great against the Sharks tonight, SJ deserved a better fate.

Hawks newest player Kim Johnnson had a goal and 2 assists in his first game, and the Hawks win with a Toews goal in the shootout.

In watching Shelley's fights from this year he seems to have lost a little fire he is also had a lot of injury issues.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Hawks beat the Blue Jackets 5-4 in the shootout.

One of the Jackets put a dangerous knee-on-knee hit on Patrick Kane early in the 3rd period. Troy Brouwer steps in and gives the Jacket a beatdown, and gets 19 minutes in penalties for his trouble, missing the rest of the 3rd and the overtime periods.

Coach Q gives Brouwer a reward for stepping up for his teammate and lets Brouwer shoot in the shootout....and Brouwer gets the game winner.

Hawks threw their weight around a little too.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Great Game by the Hawks. They have been playing a little bit more physical in the last 3-4 games which is good. I really like the Addition of Johnsson as well.

Storybook Gamewinner for Brouwer

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Niemi looked a little soft on a couple of the goals, but it is good to enter the break on a winning streak and good note. I agree that Johnsson was a good move by Bowman. :tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Although Cam Barker did score a goal today for the Wild! :r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I agree with you about Niemi...But he did pretty well in the past 2 shootouts. I still would like to see the Buff play big the whole game not just towards the end

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I am guessing we might have to wait 'til the playoffs to see that again. :mad:

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

U.S.A. rolls on, Canada gets quite the scare, and Russia is up 1-0 early in the 3rd with Ilya Bryzgalov in net.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Did Berschmoozi score any goals today? ;) :r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Tell me about it :td Should be a good one on Sunday.

A lot more parody on the Men's side compared to the Women's. Makes for some really great hockey!

Ziggy Palffy can still play...impressed!

But how will the story end? ;)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

In a shootout...that's some scary lineups!

Wouldn't want to be either of the two goalies.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Josef Stumpel still plays hockey!!

They all come out of the woodwork for the Olympics :r

Happy Halak ending in Round 7.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Great game, big upset!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Real big....The USA leads the pool...too bad that doesn't mean sh*t for the whole shebang. :r

Hard for me not to root for Canada to some extent, with Toews, Seabrook and Keith all on the roster.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Should be a interesting to see who the top four teams (bye to the Quarter Finals). Some really big games over the next couple days.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Yup....The U.S. needs to try to take Canada at least to OT to ensure Russia doesn't get the bye over them.

I love hockey!! :ih :wo

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Well if miller can turn in a hiller like performance which I think is possible, it could happen.
I will be watching for sure. Cant imagine a bigger shot in the arm for USA hockey to have the Jr's win gold against Canada and then the US mens to take out Canada. I know its very unlikley, but hey I can dream. Cant imagine the train wreck that would occur up north if this did happen. :r

The sky would be falling.


OT my little man is playing goal tomorrow. They make all the kids play goal one game in minimites. At 4 he isnt small, but the pads they have are 24 inches. So yeah hes pretty much a screen door out there with little movement. He thinks Patty Roy though so it promises to be pretty funny. Wish him luck cause hes gonna get shelled. Was going to get him a pair of 20 inch pads, but he wants new graf 370 supras and I dont want him tending goal anyway. He wants hampster pads though.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

BEST OF LUCK to your son.... Between the pipes sucks for a parent IMO... Probably worse if you are behind the mask....:confused:

Wish I had some of the Little Man's old pads & I'd FedEx them your way........ He did the goalie thing for a short time.... Gave them away as he aged.... What you see in the pic was actually "lost" by a coach of his that wanted to sell it at a clinic he was doing....:rolleyes:

That said, I am not sure he had anything that small....???

Summer Season(3-3) photo.... Even when he decided "Dad, I need to be scoring goals" ....he use to spend the Summers in net....

Good luck to your little Man, Mike! :tu

Watching Finland destroy Germany right now.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Ya pretty decisive win. I'm really surprised on how competitive the games have been though. Four blowouts and two of those were Norway.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Absolutely, Canada, Russia, Sweden, Czechoslovakia, Finland and the U.S. all have a legitimate chance to win this tourney.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Thanks guys it actually went really well today. He played two 20min games and gave up 2 in the first game and 1 in the second game getting 2 victories. His teamates love him and cleared out all the rebounds, dove to block shots, and ran a kid or two over to keep his crease clear. :r Not to mention they scored a ton of goals. He played sound positionaly like I had been teaching him. Stayed square to the shooters and huged the posts when supposed to. made a some stick saves etc. He got mobed by the team after the games, but he didnt like being on the bottom of the pile 6 year olds. We got real lucky one of the dads from another team had a pair of 20 inch pads and let him use them. helped out a lot. They are narrower and shorter so he had good movement.

When it was all over he said something that made me very happy. "daddy, I dont want to play goal anymore. I want to skate fast and score goals. I really want those skates like yours." :tu 370 supras it is If he decides he wants to play goal again I will let him play roller hockey goal or when he starts playing summer.

I think more like " I said I was bilingual not bisexual. "

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Two victories, a GAA of 1.50...that's some goaltending! Looking forward to hearing about his first hat trick at forward, Mike. :)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Well....7 hours to kill....

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

The place that I'm going to tonight better have the USA vs. Canada game on. If not I might have to go somewhere else.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Here is hoping that Miller makes Hiller's performance against Team Canada look pedestrian.....

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Miller looks like he might be back on his game. If so he's unstoppable. Lets hope the rest of the team helps make it easy on him. Tonight should be a great game. Go USA :usa

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread

That is one pissed off kid right there. I like how the one kid runs for his life and dives into his bench. Also how another kid goes commando and dives into theirt bench.

Holy chit.... Wonder how the bench diver looked after he came out, he was getting POUNDED....

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I guess that kid that he was chasing had injured the big guy in the past and he was seeking some revenge.

I do love how the reporter trys to act like Canadians dont Flame the hell out of Americans about hockey. He apparently does not go to hockey chat rooms, or discussion boards. Talk about a slanted story.
