NHL Hockey 2006-2007

[SideshowRob]

the west looked fucking shitty in the skills comp...

[SideshowRob]

I loved his interview with that announcer guy. Did you see that? He's hilarious.

the announcer couldnt see Ovechkin's eyes and was getting creeped out

[~Crashintome89~]

the announcer couldnt see Ovechkin's eyes and was getting creeped out

Dude, if I was standing next to him, I would be the same way. Ovechkin is one scary son of a bitch.

[mpanas]

The skills comp last night was a fucking disgrace to hockey. I have seen youth hockey competitions ran better. The production was horrible. The announcers and the players didn't even know the rules on some of the skills. We got a great shot of some guy that was cleaning the ice while someone was shooting in the accuracy contest. And they couldn't even get the fucking sensors to work for the speed contest. Fucking Bush League!

it was Joe Thornton shooting at that time... the sharks always get shit on by Nat'l Broadcasts...

some guy had the nerve to say the Shark Tank is "the house that Joe Thornton built"

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

[DmBand801]

He will stay put.....Devils = Stanley Cup at least once every 5 years.

he already's admitted to wanting to test the free agent market....there have been rumors of him getting traded....but they've seemed to die out

Doesn't this phrase pretty much sum up the NHL now-a-days??? I watched the comp. on CBC so the production was much better. Can't really say how it looked on VS. (what a shitty network) but I do agree that the players didn't look very good.

On another note, I honestly can't believe they are really changing the Jerseys. That is the worst idea ever and Im so sad that I won't get to watch the wings play in their traditional sweater that they've worn for ions anymore. The NHL can't do anything right. They do something insignificant and stupid liek changing the jerseys but vote against changing the schedules back to the old style scheduling for another year. Why? I mean how many times do I have to watch the wings play teams like Columbus and Nashville instead of Toronto, Montreal and the rest of the original 6? Fucking pathetic....Someone needs to kick Bettmans ass out of office and get a Canadien in there :violent The state of the sport is the worst its ever been and it seriously makes me sad.

[OneMoreDrink34]

Go Avalanche!

Too bad Anahiem is as good as they are

well it isn't like they are changing all the logos and crests and colors... just the material and how they are stitched together... they won't be as bulky, apparently. As long as it isn't a huge visual change and they still have that "hockey" look... i won't mind too much. But if they go with those wetsuit-looking pieces of trash that team Canada wore in teh Olympics, I won't be too happy...

I'm sure that's what they're going to. That's what they've been wearing in the World Junior Championship tournament for almost 5 years now (I think) and in the Olympics last time.

In all, they make it easier for the players to skate (less air resistance) and it will cut down on accidental hooking penalties because there isn't as much loose fabric between the arms and bodies of the players.

I didn't like them at first either, but they do grow on you. They don't bother me nearly as much as they originally did.

The Fighting Sioux had test jerseys in that style for one game a few weeks ago. They were black with shoulder stripes and the great logo on the front (see avatar). I thought they actually looked really nice, to be honest.


EDIT: Here's a link from Inside College Hockey. You can see the new cut the best on the Maine and New Hampshire jerseys. This is what I would guess the new jerseys are. It's the same cut as the Olympics and World Junior Tournament jerseys.

[DMBBonas07]

Well here we go, time for some NHL all star hockey! Its so nice seeing three players from my favorite team (The Sabres) on the starting line

[DMBBonas07]

[trlev]

did anyone see the lady singing the canadian national anthem fall?

I heard an ooooooooo from the crowd and when I turned around she was on the ice.

[JeffDMB41PT]

I normally don't give VS./OLN any credit cause I think their coverage sucks monkey balls but I gotta admit.....having Turco mic'd so they could tlak to him while he was playing was pretty sweet

[SideshowRob]

one was Michelle Branch

[DMBBonas07]

They are called the Wreckers, the one girl is Michelle Branch im not sure of the other.

[DMBsniper12]

Yeah I thought the one looked like Michelle Branch.. i always thought she was a cutie.

[DMBBonas07]

Yeah I thought the one looked like Michelle Branch.. i always thought she was a cutie.
she sure is, I think the other girl in the band used to tune her guitars when Michelle was on tour...not fully sure though

[DMBsniper12]

Jessica Harp is her name

[DMBBonas07]

cool, she was a looker too

[JeffDMB41PT]

that sums it up for me...turco was amusing to listen to, but that camera was so fucking annoying to watch following the puck along the boards...

[~Crashintome89~]

Yeah when they had the camera zoomed out, you could see the fucking thing moving side to side. It was annoying as shit.

Yea....I agree that really sucked.....but I get CBC where I live so I watched most of the game on that channel. Hockey Night in Canada knows how to cover the sports like no other.

yep...I wasnt a fan at all

[whiteysax]

wow... how do you unite fans of rival teams from around the league? put up a big ass, clunky camera to run along the boards that gets in the way of the broadcast camera :)

[thelindz]

Go West... :hump

I'll be glad to see the Oilers resume play this weekend.

Yea, they utilized it poorly.

ESPN did it much better when they used it during the Frozen Four for the past two years.

[whiteysax]

having conversations with emrick and olcyzk while making saves and playing the puck--indeed some priceless moments :lol

I see the Avs are getting a new affiliate next year... the brand new Lake Erie Monsters (based in Cleveland).
Should be a decent francise as Colorado has a good, deep system with fantastic scouts...

Eric Lindros, anyone?

:thumbsdow The only thing he whines about these days are his concussions. :lol

[whiteysax]

:thumbsdow The only thing he whines about these days are his concussions. :lolthat's what i mean... enough concussions will slow down (end) a career ;) Stevens did it to Lindros...

[wedge914]

Let me be the first one from Pittsburgh to say that I do NOT like Crosby. Sure he's got mad skills, but when I heard his coach in the minors sat him out because the other teams were playing too hard on him. Give me a break, Mario never had a problem with the other kids pushing him around in the Q. He got back at them the best way he could.. 5 goals 6 assists a game lol

[Franchize41]

that's what i mean... enough concussions will slow down (end) a career ;) Stevens did it to Lindros...

reminds me of how much I miss Lafontaine playing... he was awesome and a great person too. No person should end a career getting injured by their own teammate

[Crawdaddye]

Damn why all the Crosby hate? Without him the Pens are in the basement even behind Philly. He's easily the player I enjoy watching the most in the NHL. I hope he plays for the Pens for at least 20 more years. Although at this point I just hope that the Pens play in Pittsburgh next season.

[~Crashintome89~]

Because he's a little bitch who thinks everyone should bow down to him and give him praise.

I don't think I would go that far. I would consider Ovechikn more of a T.O. than Crosby, who is just plainfully annoying.

West:
1. SAN JOSE
2. DETROIT
3. VANCOUVER
4. NASHVILLE
5. CALGARY
6. ANAHEIM
7. DALLAS
8. EDMONTON

15-Chicago(I don't see any hope for this team).

1. BUFFALO
2. NEW JERSEY
3. CAROLINA
4. OTTAWA
5. NY RANGERS
6. TORONTO
7. PHILADELPHIA
8. BOSTON

15-Montreal(I see them having a hard season this year).

Stanley Cup-

West-SAN JOSE-3
------NJ DEVILS STANLEY CUP CHAMPS-------
East-NEW JERSEY-4

I think this because the Devils have a stong run every few years, and with Rupp back and everyone heathy, and the fact that when he is on no one can beat Marty B, the Devils are going to be the team to watch for this year. I hope I am wrong and it is the Rangers, but I don't see the Rangers getting out of the first round again.

West:
1. SAN JOSE ...still could happen
2. DETROIT...2 spots off not bad
3. VANCOUVER...a little off on this one
4. NASHVILLE....damn this team is good right now
5. CALGARY....Flames are doing a little better than this which is awsome
6. ANAHEIM....way better than I thought
7. DALLAS....almost dead on with this one
8. EDMONTON.....close enough

15-Chicago(I don't see any hope for this team).....LA wins at sucking slightly more

East:
1. BUFFALO....Perfect
2. NEW JERSEY....Dead on
3. CAROLINA...in the 3 6 playoff match up...but in the 6th spot as of now
4. OTTAWA...one off right now so Im close enough
5. NY RANGERS....Ranger better pick it up or they will be left out (again)
6. TORONTO...need help
7. PHILADELPHIA...WOW I gave them waaaaaay to much credit
8. BOSTON...still in good postion to get this spot

15-Montreal(I see them having a hard season this year)......Power play has made this team not only really good, but fun to watch, so I was way off on this call.

Stanley Cup-

West-SAN JOSE-3
------NJ DEVILS STANLEY CUP CHAMPS-------
East-NEW JERSEY-4

I stand by my Cup Finals picks

[DmBand801]

aero...i don't see how mike rupp could improve the devils chances of getting a cup as a 4th line player who gets 7 mins. of ice a game...all in all some pretty good picks and we'll see how accurate you are come april

[aeroshady]

Mr. Rupp comes alive in the playoffs. Just look at his '03 stats haha. But the Devils in all just look amazing this year.

i don't think anyonme can matchup to the pure asshole behavior of Terrell Owens...the guy is the biggest prick in sports. :BANGwell... yeah, i agree... i was just making a comparison...

[~Crashintome89~]

Ovechkin? seriously? i love him! he's so much more humble than Crosby

I know that but he does have that kind of flare that Owens has. Like look at me, but he backs it up no doubt. He's very fun to watch. :thumbsup

[PilotC150]

15-Chicago(I don't see any hope for this team).....LA wins at sucking slightly more
Not this year, but next year (hopefully the year after) hope is coming, and he goes by the name Jonathan Toews.

Ovechkin? seriously? i love him! he's so much more humble than Crosby!

I'll take Crosby over Ovechkin or Malkin anyday. They are two of the most cocky players you will ever see. At least that I've ever seen.

[thelindz]

I like Crosby.

He gets it done. Plain and simple.

[whiteysax]

I know that but he does have that kind of flare that Owens has. Like look at me, but he backs it up no doubt. He's very fun to watch. :thumbsupi could just never see Ovi telling a team what to do or just up and leaving...

Maybe they've toned down since joining the NHL, but when I watched them play when they were 18, 19 and 20 years old, I definitely think Crosby is the least cocky.

[~Crashintome89~]

i could just never see Ovi telling a team what to do or just up and leaving...

No, I didn't mean it like that. Ovi wouldn't quit on his team but if something pissed him off then he would get revenge, especially with a goal, in which his celebration would be "in your face". If you don't believe me, go on youtube and check out his celebrations, they're great, and creative, just like our good friend TO.

[~Crashintome89~]

If you don't believe me, go on youtube and check out his celebrations, they're great, and creative, just like our good friend TO.i agree his post-goal celebrations are definitely more "enthusiastic" than most... but they aren't like "look at me I'm great" celebrations... they are just hard fought/attained the goal celebrations... he always goes to his team, doesn't stand around looking for self praise.

[PilotC150]

Err...they're like 19 and 20 now.

Crosby is 19, but I wasn't including him, because I've always viewed him as more mature.

Ovechkin is 21 and Malkin is 20.

I watched them play in junior tournaments when they were 17, 18 and 19.

Better?

Guess I should buy a Wild 3rd jersey this season before they retire them. It's the best jersey, anyway.

As for home team wearing white, I always liked that best anyway.

[killymagee2000]

Ken... If you're around there's and interesting article in the Hockey News in which Al Strachen argues that the Habs have all the pieces in place to make a good run at the Cup this season. Good article, but after their performance tonight, I'm not so sure.

[mpanas]

Just thought this would interest a few of you. I know it's a stretch but you have to start somewhere.

[aeroshady]

I just wanted to say.....the new NHL still sucks. I really hate it. No Hits, to many calls, calls late in games or OT are bull shit, no fights, BAD HOCKEY. I love the game and keep going to games, but even I have my breaking point, and its getting close. Hockey is should be a hard hitting gritty sport, it has become almost as wussy as soccer, and you know what, soccer is more fun to watch right now. Just though I would rant for a while, I will still be going to the Bruins Vs. Sabers game tomorrow, but more and more I wish it was the early 1990's again.

[|UAY| |)(V)|3]

Last nights sharks game really pissed me off. I was there and it was cool to see the first shootout of the year in person but after leading the entire game I'm pissed we couldnt hold it.

Shootouts fucking suck, imo. Flyers played a good game last night and lost it in overtime because Tampa just has some good breakaway shooters. We were all over them in overtime though so I rather see 4 on 4 for ten minutes, instead of five.

This is the result of somebody who only likes hockey for the hitting and the fights.

Anybody who truely appreciates hockey will realize how the new rules have made the game better. The talented players are able to do their thing because they aren't getting hooked, grabbed and tackled all the time. You can't just be big and strong to play hockey anymore, you need skill.

Yes, there are hits, but there aren't as many calls anymore now that the players are getting used to the rule changes. I absolutely love how it has opened up the game and turned it more in the same game as is played internationally and in college.

must be hard to be a Flyers fan haha.

I'll be a Flyers fan til the day i die, through the good times and the bad times. If I can't watch or attend a game, I go online and check the box score and the story to see what happened. This year is terrible, yeah, but we will rebuild and be back in action in a few years.

Let's Go Flyers!!!

[SideshowRob]

I just wanted to say.....the new NHL still sucks. I really hate it. No Hits, to many calls, calls late in games or OT are bull shit, no fights, BAD HOCKEY. I love the game and keep going to games, but even I have my breaking point, and its getting close. Hockey is should be a hard hitting gritty sport, it has become almost as wussy as soccer, and you know what, soccer is more fun to watch right now. Just though I would rant for a while, I will still be going to the Bruins Vs. Sabers game tomorrow, but more and more I wish it was the early 1990's again.

two words...

Sidney Crosby

[DMBsniper12]

This is the result of somebody who only likes hockey for the hitting and the fights.

Anybody who truely appreciates hockey will realize how the new rules have made the game better. The talented players are able to do their thing because they aren't getting hooked, grabbed and tackled all the time. You can't just be big and strong to play hockey anymore, you need skill.

Yes, there are hits, but there aren't as many calls anymore now that the players are getting used to the rule changes. I absolutely love how it has opened up the game and turned it more in the same game as is played internationally and in college.

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

as much as i disagree with the assertion that hockey is less physical these days... i agree with this post...

[~Crashintome89~]

What an awesome Flyers-Devils game tonight! Despite another Flyers loss.... and another last minute tying goal by the Devils, and another OT loss.

It was definitely fun to watch.

Easily the best game this year by far.

these 2 are the main problems...i mean come on, the all-star game tanked in the ratings thanks to Bettman's genious idea to put it on a Tuesday night on Vs, rather than the football-less sunday...76% decrease in ratings from the 2004 ASG on a Sunday on ABC...as far as making the nets bigger, this is a flat out desperation move by the NHL to reel in more fans, and beleive me, its going to fail....BAD. 9-8 games aren't going to make the NHL better, i honestly think it would suck to see goalies getting lit up every night, i'm a big fan of the 2-1, 3-2 games. Your going to tell me a 2-1 game with both teams putting on 35 shots isn't exciting?

--any hope for the NHL getting back to ESPN inside the next few years?

What's wrong with home whites? That's what it always used to be. Though I am disappointed in the elimination of the third jersey.

The new jerseys, on the other hand, aren't as bad you might think. They're easy to get used to (I already have) and eventually you stop noticing.

[whiteysax]

I don't have a problem with home whites, but I don't want to see the third jerseys go. I love the throwbacks!
Bigger nets = ridiculous... now you ARE starting to take the tradition out of the game. What next? get ride of the goalie position and make it a free for all?
I don't mind the new jerseys. They don't appear to be a big change in appearance, just material.
OLN/VS can suck it. I don't even care that the NHL got little ESPN coverage and everything was on the Deuce... the coverage was 100 times better and all of the ESPN 2 games were in HD.
Sidney is the forerunner for players in the 'new NHL'. Don't get me wrong, I like the look of the NHL right now... but if you continue to cater to players like him (high offensive talent, great potential, great skills, bad attitude, pansy) but making nets bigger, getting rid of more of the physical aspects, you're destroying the game. I would rather see Sidney take 5 big hits a game than skate in alone and score 4 goals a game. Get used to it... you're a hockey player... ya candy-ass....

its in the negotiation process... original six teams like Toronto, Chicago and Montreal really dont want anything changed and are fighting to keep the jerseys the same as possible but I know some teams are on board with it

They're all going to the new jeresys. I think the big hold up is getting acceptable looking jersey's for all the franchises. The horizontal stripes on the hemline are hard to replicate with the side pannels.

There is going to be a lot of teams that look like the Sharks.

[dmbmuskie]

Here's an example of a proposed Red Wings jersey. It's not for the feint of heart.

Seriously, why the problem with Crosby?

if you asked me yesterday i woulda had a different answer.

i think sidney crosby is fucking amazing. the talent he possesses is downright shocking. and i love watching him play. that being said, what a pussy.

the habs/pens game last night was easily one of the best hockey games ive watched in years. the fact that the habs lost in a shootout after being fucked by the refs so many times (7minute powerplay for the pens? souray ejected?) was epic.

in the first five seconds of the game, off the opening faceoff, crosby got pushed down to the ground by lapierre (granted there might have been a bit of the stick butt) but the kid stayed down for close to a minute keeled over in "pain". relax man, enough of the faking. when koivu got a stick to the eye and was bleeding from his eye socket and had to have major surgery to repair his eyesight, he took it like more of a man then crosby took a mini push last night. then when play resumed (why play stopped over it is another overeaction), he put his stick between lapierre's legs and threw him down in a cheap shot. lapierre got up and laughed it off. and the refs didnt call anything because it was crosby.

anyhow. he's still a phenom talent and awesome to watch. but if you're going to play with the big boys, act like a man.

cheers.

Crosby has to be frustrated because everyone just takes shot after shot at him. I didn't think it was that bad until you see a Pens game in person. He's not near the pussy some of the other stars I've seen play have been.

it comes with the territory with the talent he possesses.. hes gonna have to learn to deal with it because he has 15-20 years of it ahead of him.

I understand that, but I never remember Jagr or Lemieux taking the cheap shots Crosby gets. Crosby doesn't help the matter by running his mouth all the time, and by getting in scraps himself.

I never remember Jagr getting after someone, and I only remember Lemieux doing it once.

the refs let the crosby trip go because they know that Lapierre had butt-ended him off the draw (obviously with Crosby rolling over in "pain") - i knew right away when they both lined up for the draw that Crosby was going to do something. I didn't see what happened with Souray though--anyone want to summarize?

[whiteysax]

wow... this is gonna be a great game!!! Colorado/Edmonton... end of the 1st and there were a LOT of hot heads before the refs broke up the scrum and sent the teams to the locker rooms!!!

the refs didnt call anything on crosby because its crosby and he's the 'future of the nhl'. they're told from top down to let him do as he pleases. he has to be protected -- not just by the his linemates, but by the administration the whole nhl organization.

souray summary: colby armstrong gave a beautiful hit to koivu in the 2nd. totally knocked him off his skates. now there's two reasons souray came in from the blueline to pummel armstrong like the little bitch he is (*see note). one, because it looked from his angle like he threw an elbow into koivu's head. two, its his captain and you stand up and protect him. (note: no one got in trouble for protecting crosby earlier. digress.).

* the pens left colby armstrong in pittsburgh so that he wouldn't play against the habs tomorrow in fear of retaliation. now thats vagasil if you ask me.

None of us have actually seen the new jersey's to my knowledge. I think they're going to piss off a lot of people.

I'm pretty sure it's the same design (or very similar) as worn in the junior tournaments, and worn by some college teams early in the year. The only differences will be how the run the colors for the different teams.

If you guys really worked up that much about how a jersey looks, you need to rethink the reason you're watching the game.

the only games theyve played a full 60 are the 9-2 blowout type games... in which the week following they mail it in and get it handed to them.

Antropov Sundin & Kaberle?Antropov has NOT developed the way everyone anticipated... however the last few games, he's looked good... i think he's been working with Sundin, learning how to use his big ass frame. He's still slow as shit... but his decisions on puck movement have been pretty good these past 2 weeks

[whiteysax]

they usually only do inside the faceoff hashesi meant the actual speed... that shot from above looked like they were trucking pretty fast!

im shocked at least one of Heatley, Spez or Alfie isnt shooting

damn... although its Kaberle up
as far as defensemen go... he's a good choice... of course as a goalie, you'll anticipate that shot as opposed to a move...

[whiteysax]

wow... he had it and missed...

[Franchize41]

Fisher had him beat

[Franchize41]

good choice for 4th shooter... what a save though!

[whiteysax]

i don't like how it looks like as long as ottawa gets raycrofts moving laterally, he'll give up everything up high

[whiteysax]

holy crap emery... long ass legs

[Franchize41]

Heatley has to do a better move than that...

[whiteysax]

nice!!!

[whiteysax]

Heatley has to do a better move than that...the double head fake with no shoulder movement? yeah...

[Franchize41]

ill give Pohl credit for that

[whiteysax]

oh yeah!!!!!

[Franchize41]

Spezza Cmon!

[whiteysax]

good guy to have to tie it though....

[whiteysax]

yes!!!!!! wow!!!!!

[Franchize41]

NO! you cant just shoot on Raycroft

[whiteysax]

good game!

[Franchize41]

im never gonna hear the end of this tomorrow... and Emery was so good too

[whiteysax]

im never gonna hear the end of this tomorrow... and Emery was so good tooyes, he was ridiculous!

[DmBand801]

3 goals in 3 minutes to start the 3rd....Devils prevail over Buffalo 3-2!

[thelindz]

So it turns out Nedved didn't disappear per se... healthy scratch.

[whiteysax]

man, this Vancouver/Calgary game is going to be a brawl!!!

[thelindz]

I always like cheering for a certain team, however I hate both of them - they should just completely beat each other up, that would be great.

As I was back reading this thread I noticed there are talks about Crosby's on ice antics. I agree, his attitude is a little cocky, but the kid takes so many cheap shots. its the only way a team can keep control of him it seems. The Blake spear was ridiculous. The stick but was also uncalled for and the Habs' coach should learn to shit his mouth because he knows damn well the Pens start out every game with Sid taking the draw.

On the other hand, Im really, really, really tired of Pittsburgh fans. They are by far one of the most bandwagon fans in the country. It was the Steelers last year and now the Pens. Girls, who have never even knew the city had a hockey team try to pretend they "know" hockey. Granted there are plenty who do know hockey, it has been pretty big in my generation around Pitt. However, it drives me up the fucking wall when I hear, "Sid is soooo hot." Followed by, "How did he have 4 points, he only scored one goal this game". True story. Or...."He is the best player ever in the NHL". Im glad the Pens are getting support. But please just keep your "witty" hockey comments at home along with your Sidney Crosby poster. sorry for the rant...

Lets Go Rangers....
