the NHL is coming back

[FairWarning]

damn it Pucky, I thought you had news to report. but you're still smelling it

glad junior tournament is coming. international competition better than nhl anyway.

why doesn't nhl use replacement players? I was watching Colorado College game. I like the way they play, more fun to watch than most nhl games. Maybe its because there isnt as many big stiffs so there's room on the ice

Detroit should get replacements, now that Michigan is a Right To Work state.

God bless Michigan.

Just looked at the rosters for the Canadian and US junior teams.

Interesting that Team Canada has 19 players from the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) and team USA has 9 from the same league (OHL).

And most of those Yank born kids have dual citizenship or at least one parent who was born in Canada. Take Tyler Biggs for example. Leaf prospect whose father Don was a star in the AHL. No pun intended, but Don Biggs was too small for the Bigs.

Most of the good players this year are from the WHL

Keep an eye on 2 players from the WHL - Morgan Rielly (Leafs #5 overall draft pick) and Ty Rattie (St. Louis 2nd round pick in 2011..... I think).

GTFO!

'Tis true Plummer. One of their best players, who should go #1 overall in the next entry draft, is from Halifax (Cole Harbour). We represent!!!

That league certainly got a boost from the NHL lockout this year. I bet Blitty could play in this leagues if he chopped another 1.5" off his stick. Guy's got game!!!

Do they play the Canadian anthem at Gladiator games?

Without the NHL, I get no hockey. Stupid coastal Georgia.

I would be very ovechkin-esque in those leagues..

NHL hockey will be back. I am very confident that we will see NHL hockey in early January and maybe even late December.

BTW... what sort of Canadian blood do you have in your? Do you really have Canadian blood flowing through you? Is it Quebecois blood?

Blitty, give me 30 days of training, a very light and solid knee brace and I would destroy that league. I'd even use a wooden old school Sherwood PMP stick.

 

[Blitty]

Late December??

Common pucker.

 

[PuckOff]

Bettman and Fehr will get a deal done, but not today or tomorrow. it will take a wee bit of time, but a deal will get done or at least a MOU which can be signed off on in the summer like the last lockout. Be happy Blit.

 

[FairWarning]

Sherwood is old school, I like it. No helmet and you sold me. Of course all the cheap-shot Europeans would have to go.

 

[PuckOff]

I LOVED the Sherwood PMP sticks. Don't hate on all the Euros, FW. There are some legit players out of Europe and Scandinavian countries.

They are better now. When they first came into the wha/nhl, they were pussies and cheap shots.

 

[PuckOff]

I wouldn't say they were cheap shots. Pussies maybe, but it's because the brand of hockey they grew up playing wasn't the Canadian style of game that was and is played in the NHL. You know the hard hitting, fighting, no nonsense style of hockey.
