Great team guy, Ryan....he fills a role that no one I see on the current roster can fill. :(

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I didn't see the hit into the boards, was it a good hit?

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

It was clean...just one of those "hockey" things.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I am amazed that more guy's are not seriously injured in hockey. I can't wait to get up to a Adirondack Phantoms game this season.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Wish they played the Wolves so I could see your team...maybe in the Finals. :tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

The Albany River Rats are closer but they suck real bad and the security staff are d!cks. Glens Falls Civic Center is a great little arena. Not a bad seat in the house. You should take a road trip. :D

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Hoping to get to NY sometime in '10...never been there. :)

I know a guy coaching in Syracuse...let me know if you get out that way.

It nice to here but in reality won't happen unless someone steps up with really deep pockets

On a side note I was reading an article on the Coyotes that said they started the whiteout in 2004:mad:

My sediments exactly...the nail is almost in the coffin, Balsille just sweetened the deal, I'm not sure how his bid can't be accepted

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Its always amazed me seattle has no team. Figured they would at some point. Wouldnt mind seeing a team go to winnipeg.

Phoenix unfortunatley started out all wrong. Having gone to games in the old building you would know why.
In the old building if you sat on the end bowl you would have to watch the game on the jumbo tron when they came down to the end as the way the stands were set up you were literaly over the action. The league wants to keep the team there so it will be interesting to see what they do.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

UHhhhhhhhh
Bye Wayne. Guess you can officially call his initial coaching stint a failure. Then again he wasnt exactly given a blank check or much to work with.

on a non NHL related note...I just got back from doing the colour commentary for my first ever hockey game.

It was quite the experience and talk about technical difficulties. Next time will be much better and you guys could even listen in online:)

I will be waiting for a link, Matt! :tu

Hawks finally get a PS win, Kane scored twice. :wo

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Biggest rumor in Chicago doesn't involve the Hawks, but their AHL team, the Wolves:

Chris Chelios tmay sign with the AHL's Chicago Wolves if he is unsuccessful in landing an NHL contract in the next week.

At 47 years of age it appears the chances of him signing an NHL deal is slim at best.

The Wolves opened up camp last week and there is a very strong chance Chelios arrives shortly thereafter. It makes sense for the veteran D-man to stay in Chicago where he's surrounded by family including his son who plays for the the Chicago Steel in the USHL.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

That would be cool if it goes through. The Wolves have signed some older players in the past.

Wings took it to the Penguins tonight. :tu

Regular season, hurry up! :ih

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

You getting pumped yet for the hawks this year Tom:D It's gonna be a great year of hockey for Chicago:banger

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I am really concerned over how this European trip is going to effect their start.

That being said, the Pens had a crappy start after their trip last year, but turned it around to win the Cup.

I hope Hossa's November return isn't overly optimistic, and that Huet can live up to his contract.

What are your thoughts, Nate?

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Honestly, I think we will be fine. I think we are home for all but 5 games in October, so I hope for a good start. I really don’t know what to think about the games in Finland though. Only time will tell how it will affect the young guys. When is Burish gonna be back, or is he at all?

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Burish is out for the season...says he could be back for the playoffs, but I would wonder if he would be in any kind of shape for the playoffs after 6+ months off the ice.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I don't think the trip overseas. I think McDounough gives more thought to publicity than actual hockey performance (left over from his time with the Cubs:r).

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

One of the guys from Mitch's team last year plays for the Steel this year. :D

GO RANGERS!!! :dance:

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I have some friends who work for the Steel...he will be in good hands, Al. :tu

BLACKHAWKS!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Hawks win 9-2 vs. HC Davos in Sweden, 2 goals for Kane.

Al, what is Mitch's friend's name? I play Thursday with a couple trainers from the Steel.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Did anyone see the Rangers on Letterman doing the Top 10 list tonight? I can only find the short preview on YouTube so far. They also carried Madona out with her sitting on 2 crossed sticks over their shoulders.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Closest they will get to the (C) Cup this year, Ryan. ;) :r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

The Madona interview was pretty funny. Letterman was talking about pizza and asked Madona what she liked on her pie. Her reply was "That's kind of a personal questions." :r

Went to set the TiVo for the Avalanche/Sharks game, and find that DirectV no longer has Versus. Several games from Versus will not be available on CentreIce because Versus will have the exclusive rights. Must admit I am a little pizzed off right now.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Cant wait to see the Line of Thorton, Heatley, and Seto get it on!

Rob Blake, new Team Captain. Dan Boyle gets an A on his shirt.


Go Sharks!!!
