Hopefully he goes on a tear and shoves it right up their negotiator's arse. ;)

Well maybe I wont have to buy playoff seats this year. If they keep playing like this I likely wont anyway.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Nice game for the Hawks:D

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Tough loss for the Caps last night in the shootout. After the first period, I thought they had a handle on the Flyers.

Cheers,

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Nice come back by the B's last. To bad they lost it in the shootout.
The Kings Look good

Cant beleive no one mentioned this Campbell email ordeal.

The emails

Really makes you wonder about things and how games may not be fixed, but how refs may be given direction.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Went to an AHL game last night, Norfolk Admirals. Good time :tu

Came home in time to watch the Jackets win, Nash hat trick. :tu

Last night was a good night :tu

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I've been following that whole saga from its release, definitely not good form on Coli's part. To me its a emotional email that should never have been sent, but I don't think that he was actually trying to "direct a ref".

I don't know Coli personally but from the sounds of major people in the media he is a stand up guy. The media could have really run with the story and lambasted him, but most of them acknowledged that the e-mails were dumb but did not question his integrity. Most of the top figures in hockey reverberated the above.

That being said from a total fan perspective it is hard to trust Coli and weather he his making decisions without bias. The NHL obviously has tried to make this a non-story but the public has been pretty critical about the situation. Campbell isn't really helping the situation out as he vehemently disagrees that he should apologize to all involved.

I am kinda of siding with those people wanting an apology. Colin Campbell really has no business talking about his son, in that way with the head of officiating. Once thing is forsure Campbell did learn a valuable lesson about the privacy of emails.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Campbell is a tool.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Savard has said it is a "non-issue". Marc is a class act.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Ya I did hear that and agree that its was a class act move by Savard.

Most of the media up up north revolved around Coli talking about his son and New Media vs. Main Stream Media as the story was broken by a blogger.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I'am thinking Blu, Blanc, De Orange. you want to talk about busts? I give you Rick Dipeitro.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Nash with another goal, 13th so far :tu
Mason had a nice game in net, picked up a couple timely saves.

2-0 Jackets win over the Predators :noon Count it, 4 in a row

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Nash is a helluva hockey player, I've seen him play live several times in Chicago. Off to a good start too.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I look a the standings on the year and while I knew LA would be good I had no idea. Didnt see the jackets being this good. Look at the lightning. I do like it though as its nice to see a shake up.

I hate to say it but I think Marty B may finally be at the end of the line. He has looked real bad this year and now hes hurt.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I think it is interesting how the West has worked out so far. The top 13 teams are within 7 points of eachother, only 2 real bottom feeders

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread

Some interesting stats there. Stamkos likes to score on the road and Semin likes to score at home

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

The good news is they apparently don't need him after the show last night. My caps are killing me. :sad

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I hosted the Rockford IceHogs weekly coaches show “Hog Talk” Monday night. The show featured Chicago Blackhawks General Manger of Minor League Affiliations Mark Bernard, IceHogs Forward Brandon Bollig and Goaltender Alec Richards.

Thought you guys might be interested in taking a listen, just clink the link in my signature.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I am.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

You forgot one. ;)

Only Philly has more points (30 to 28) but they've played 4 more games than the Wings. Wing's are 8-1-1 in the last 10.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Yeah Wings are on a tear. I have not looked at who they have been playing as to whether the teams they are beating have a winning record or not. Either way though they are definetly winning the games they need to.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Wings look REALLY good so far.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

It will be interesting to see if Nick Lindstrom's age catches up to him this year. From my point of view he has been the best d-man in the league so far and a big reason why the Wings have been doing so well.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

So far he looks like a Norris candidate once again. :2

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Blue Jackets unveiled their 3rd jerseys....and a mascot that goes along with it...

http://scottywazz.blogspot.com/2010/...ing-start.html

WORST IDEA EVER!
I did have a good laugh because of it though

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Good game between the Sharks and Hawks tonight. Was glad to see the Sharks get the win. Was also glad to see the Sharks out hit the Hawks and have the majority share of big hits. There were a couple of really big clean hits by Murray and even Marleau. Scotty played the pest to a T drawing penalties and throwing his body everywhere. My wife had a laugh on one hit where a Hawk basically threw him down. He still kept going though. I think this sets the table for the next meeting as the Sharks will play the Hawks in Chicago after playing the night before in Minn. I dont think they will fair as well in that meeting. Then they fly to LA for a game. Will be a tough stretch.

Been watching Clowe fight this year. He is turning into a Bull

Hey how about those Thrashers I said it last week and saying it again. They are building a great young team down there.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Blue Jackets are looking good so far, as are those Thrashers.

Congrats on the Sharks win tonight, Mike....you guys can will all the regular season games, and we can.....well. ;)

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Meeew. :r

Hey at this point I am just wanting this to light a damn spark in this team and Niemi. The inside info I have was his comments and showing up with his Hawks helmet to camp resulted in some tension between him and the sharks. There was definitely not a warm reception for him. Would like to see these guys bond and this was the kind of game that might do it.

Also want to see the Thrashers be this years Coyotes and get some good attendance. Then we can see people call for the Panthers or Coyotes to get moved. Now that fugly isn't in the West I can cheer for him. I like some of the players on the Thrash and its nice to see them relevant.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Christ Avs, Finish them off.............

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

E.J., after watching the last few Avs games, I have to say I am really impressed with Kevin Shattenkirk and Greg Mauldin. Along with all the other great young players the Avs have, they should be a force for several years if they can find the money to pay them all as time goes on.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Spending my time tonight at the Cbj v Det game. Just sitting here waiting for the game to start.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

One of my co-workers went to the game, please tell him I said "hey". :)

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Not sure I'm diggin the new 3rd jersey.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I TiVo'ed the game to watch after my game tonight, looking forward to checking them out.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I don't think they are anything horrible, It's just weird having a vintage jersey on a team that is 10 years old :2 Boomer the mascot that goes with the jerseys...well he....is very falic. Seeing him in person just reinforced that thought.

As for the game, it was fun. The Columbus forwards were just a step behind the Detroit defenders when it came to loose picks around/front of the net. Some good goaltending on both sides tonight as well.

I will say something else, Columbus was able to play their style game. The didn't spend the whole night chasing around Detroits forwards as in the past. Just lacked that little jump.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

A LOT of young talent... Shattenkirk was a big surprise...

The Avs have been fun to watch(Thursday night withstanding;))... It would be a joy to watch them continue to develop together through the years, but unfortunately that just wont happen.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Yup, you see what the salary cap forced the Blackhawks to do this summer. :(

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Yea....if the Avs can raise the cup before the dismantling, I'll sleep easier....:r:r:r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Yup, it helps to recall that memory when watching my .500 Hawks this season. :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Would just like to see it happen in San Jose 1 day. :td
Rumor has it Seto is on the block as they continue to try to find a dman. Watching Huskins and Wallin is painful.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Watching Seto hasn't been much better in the games I have seen, Mike. ;)

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Shhhhhh they are trying to trade him, he's fan tastic. I think if he had been scoring he'd be gone already. They pulled this card with chechoo so I don't know to many are going to bite after how bad that went.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

And now Seto is hurt.
Scotty took a Puck in the eye today apparently in pre game. Wings coming to town, not looking good from a Sharks perspective.

Wallin just got injured and left the ice early in the first.

Medic!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

6 points from Mauldin and Shattenkirk tonight....and we have some time to go.....

Tom is going for CA GM of the year......

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Watching the Hawks game now. It would be great to finish strong on this road trip.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

By the way, don't mess with John Scott:sl

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I found that smiley and just had to add it to CA. :)

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Nice! Thank you Peter:tu

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Good finish to the road trip for the Hawks tonight. Crawford is going to see some increased ice time.

Oh, yeah....and don't mess with John Scott. :r
