i agree and go further with no one in the west can match the wings

i can qualify it with 'in lieu of other-worldly goalies displays and massive injuries', but i figure thats implied before the first puck is dropped

LET'S GO FLYERS!
games start tonight folks. Leafs/Wings and Bruins/Avs on Versus. cant wait to see how many HD games Dish will offer this year.
and i also cant believe i ended up with Ovechkin, Malkin and Zetterberg on one of my fantasy teams. in a 10 team league no less.

Originally posted by very sonick:If the other person needed help across the board, that's a fair trade for both sides. Savard isn't a game changer in real-life but his fantasy numbers are always top-shelf.

This thread was interesting till you started with the fantasy league shit…bye.
Are we sure there isn't a 'thread ingore' option?

let's hope the wings/hawks game at wrigley looks just as good as the pens/sabres game last year. that game even got the sports guy to start watching hockey again.
Originally posted by Ever Circling Skeletal Family:it was just a quick mention, dont worry, I dont live fantasy, i just had my draft last night.

you think the Caps can make the playoffs again, mank?
Originally posted by Venerable Bede:as i noticed with Dish last year, the RSNs they had in HD, which werent too many last year, were the HD games they were showing. They have added a lot since spring (including NESN) so i am hoping there are at least 3 a night. Last year it would only be one a night or maybe 2.

Dish had tons of HD Pens games last year.
Im just disgusted to learn that Palin is dropping the puck at the Flyers/Rangers game Saturday night. Im right now thinking of all the bad things that could go wrong (or hope go wrong).
Palin dropping the puck sickens me. Apparently she is good spokesperson for hockey and there's no political agenda. I don't buy it. At least the Phightins took Game 1.
Originally posted by renton007:yeah i dont buy it either - but on another note - there are 4 Obama rallies going on tomorrow in Philly! Those Flyers fans might be really riled up way before the puck is even dropped.

I don't know who should be more embarrassed…
The NHL for hiring Def Leppard to 'kick off' the season?
Or the lead singer, either way … FAIL

When will pro sports leagues realize music and sport spectaculars don't mix?

So the Flyers shit the bed in SD. I should have just gone to bed early.
I went to see Wings/Hurricanes Monday night. Front row behind penalty box. Have pictures with Brind'Amour in the box. Kinda cool. 3-1 Wings, great tight game.
That is all.

Does anyone have NHL GameCenter? Do they show caps games on there, or are they blacked out since it is on CSN?
I have NHL Center Ice, most Caps games are blacked out, but their not worth watching unless they're playing the Penguins, so it really doesnt matter to me.
