2012 NHL Offseason Thread

[Sonic_Death]

If any of you are interested in joining the TB Fantasy Hockey League on Yahoo, then contact Bob Lee or myself about joining. We usually have okay numbers for the regular season, but I wanted to get the word out about it post-lockout.

We usually have a good time.

Jan 19 3 PM Pens vs Flyers!

That's been the rumor but nothing officially confirmed yet by the NHL until both sides ratify the agreement. Once that happens then Comcast will finally tell me how much NHL Center Ice will be.

So excited to argue with you again shortly. Lol

After the beating you handed us last year, there's not a whole lot of trash talking I can do unless we take a couple from you early in the season!

Yeah so...you might be holding that trash talk in for a while ;D

 

[Lazarus.Bird]

Haha talk all you want, you didn't win a cup like usual

 

[autodidact]

Oh silly me, forgot you guys won it all last year....

Oh...wait...

 

[Lazarus.Bird]

Oh silly me, forgot you guys won it all four years ago... and 21 and 22, and we won it 38 years ago.

Yes that is correct!

 

[autodidact]

Yes that is correct!

You sly devil you.

That '74 Flyers cup win still galls me. That was one tough Broons team that got out-toughed by one of the toughest teams ever. Looking forward to letting the regional hatred begin! Welcome back everyone.

Got my tickets for the home opener vs the Leafs, and for the 2/2 Devils game. HOCKEY

 

[mkandolf]

Having serious thoughts about getting Dead Wings tickets just so I can see an NHL game live this year. Still, it's downtown Detroit... maybe I can find a matinee game?

 

[mkandolf]

Giroux the new captain for the Flyers, Zetterberg same for the Wings.

 

[FretlessMainly]

Good news and bad news for the Bruins. The good news is that they're not playing Providence this Saturday...

ha! bring on the cup.

So does that mean Pronger officially retired then?

 

[mkandolf]

Pronger can't retire or else the Flyers are on the cap hook for his contract. He tays on LTIR until his contract runs out.

In other news, did anybody else realize that the Penguins won that first round series last season???:

LOL what on earth? That is bizarre. How do you screw something up like that so bad?

Penguins had their white vs black scrimmage last night. Had band practice so I didn't make it, but caught the replay later that night. Guess it was standing room only, as it "sold out" with free admission. Now that he's had time to heal, Orpik looked fantastic. I am really excited to see some big hits from him this year. He was playing hurt vs the Flyers last year and you could definitely tell.

Beau Bennett may end up being the Pens 12th forward. He had a really solid performance and had a pretty sneaky goal against Fleury. I'm excited to see how everything pans out.

All that said, Pens looked pretty good for being in a real game atmosphere. Can't wait for Saturday!
