...and obviously, I'm very disappointed at the fall the Wild have had over the last month. But they've got a lot of young guys and some talented draftees that should be able to make BIG impacts over the next few years when they finally sign and start wearing the sweater.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Stunned Sharks got a point. Nemo was horrible in net. New they would fail in shootout. Atleast they got a point

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Agreed. Niemi looked "off" from the drop of the puck. Must have been 5+ shots that hit him, dropped to the ice and just sat there at his knees, and he had no idea where it was.
Played too deep in the net too. Not like him, he usually challenges more. He just left too many angles open.
Glad to see Thorton and Marleau clickin'.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Well...I'm glad the Sharks didn't get 2 pts out of it. :p

Didn't watch the game, though...the Wolves game was on.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Watching on DVR....nice first for the Avs. Even better to see Mueller out there.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Ugh....least they got a point....

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Hawks back on top of the Central...well, until Satuday at least. Hawks - Wings at The Joe! :wo

Grrrrrrrr! :gary

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

I had to Google that one. I had never heard that story before. While playing for the Wings he lived in my mom's subdivision. His neice went to my highschool. I met him once taking my younger siblings trick-or-treating. He was walking around with his kids or neices/nephews I forget which. He was very nice considering the large number of people approaching him. Neighbors had told me he would play hockey with neighbor kids on the pond behind his house.

Around the time he retired he moved 8-10 miles north into Washington Township. That house is huge and set back from the road so you can't see it. Large walls, big gate at the road, etc. From my experience I never would have guessed he'd pulled some crap like that.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

I can't wait. Wings won last night in a shootout. I watched all but the last 10 min and OT. I have to catch the OT/SO highlights. I heard Z put on a show with his goal.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Here's the game recap. Z makes a great fake and let it trickle in.

Was big news here when it happenes, and actually a bit of a local legend. It pretty much overshadows his career here. LOL

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Hope the Hawks hand it to the Wings Saturday:gary

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

So who's feeling sexy out there ladies? Anybody see anything they like? Anyone? Oooooo crap the cops!. Uhhhh no sir I didn't realize I was not wearing any pants. Funny I did feel a draft.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Carcillo out for the season for Chicago with a torn ACL. The way Hayes and Shaw are playing, I think they'll be OK.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Well atleast he earned it.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Some truth to that....What goes around.....

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Wings beat the Hawks in OT :wo Very entertaining game

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

:sad

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Crawford stole a point for the Hawks, Wings were dominant in the first two periods and OT. And special thanks to Mister Hossa for that point in the standings. :)

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

I was going to text you and say that exact same thing. I was cursing Hossa for that goal.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

I wanted to kiss Hossa on the lips.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Now I know why he signed with the Hawks! He wanted him some Hog :r

Who doesn't? :lr

Now you know what to get your "pretend Dad" for Christmas, Son! :D

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Avs win!

Tickets to the game with my Pops would be a great way to bring in the New Year!

Bromance on display.

Sharks Hawks tomorrow. Will be at the rink with the boy, but let's go Sharks!

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

I am guessing Emery gets the start because of back-to-back, but Crawford was stellar today.

Should be a great game, I will be in front of the big screen with a cigar and an adult beverage, Mike. Let's Go Hawks!

No Bromance, Christos is my Son!

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread

Big Hawks win tonight. Besides a 30 second stretch in the 2nd (2 goals against), the dominated all the battles tonight.

Mike, better off that you were with the little man, you might have thrown a puck at your TV.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

I know Christos already said it but I agree with you too. Fun game to watch. Too bad Hossa stole that point. It would have been nice to knot it up.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

The NHL actually gave the goal to Toews, he tipped it in, Mike. And if anybody stole a point from the Wings Saturday, it was Corey Crawford. ;)

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

That's true. The first period especially. I think the shots were 22-4.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

The Hawks were the better club for sure. Caught parts of the game here and there. Not a good outing for sure. I think Sharks had a little more then 30 seconds of good play though. ;)

Highlight for me yesterday was watching the boy get 2 goals and an assist in the championship game. :tu. Not bad for a kid playing up a age division.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

I propose we change the name of this thread to "The Chicago Blackhawks and San Jose Sharks '11 - '12 Thread"

Unless of course Matt Cooke falls off the wagon and gives everyone a reason to talk about something OTHER than those 2 teams...

:noon

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Excuse me sir. But I believe you mean Sharks Hawks Wings Bruins. Ocassionally Avs and Wild. Rarely Pens and Isles. Don't blame us because you don't have a take.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

It's not his fault, it's not like Ohio has an NHL team.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

THAT is what it's all about! :D

Oh, Snap! :lr

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Go Blackhawks!!!!!!!!;)

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

The B's are in a malaise,no compete,mistakes all over the place especially in the back end,Thomas has not looked good.
On the bright side Marchands suspension in over that should infuse some energy and unscramble three lines.
I'm still looking for a trade got to upgrade the D.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

...and the Wild got OWNED again last night. I suoppose it would be nice if they could actually keep people healthy. Maybe then they could field a competitive team again.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Koivu is out, right?

Hawks play the Sabres tonight, I am guessing Buffalo will start Enroth as Ryan Miller looks like his days are numbered. If he didn't have such a huge contract, I am guessing the Sabres would move him before the deadline.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Yup. He's out. Last I heard, it was supposed to be a month or more.

Bouchard and Latendresse are still out, as well, and they've been playing musical goalies with injuries and other things that Backstrom and Harding have been dealing with, and there have been several other players in and out of the lineup that have been expected to contribute heavily this year.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Mueller lights the lamp!!!!

Go Avs!!!!

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

The Wild rode the percentages for a while (as well as crazy good goaltending) and it was a matter of time before they came back down to earth. Injuries are hurting them for sure but they are barely a 8-10th place team in the Western Con. in the best of times.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

CAn someone please tell me WTF is up with Getzlaf? He is doing nothing for me on my fantasy pool...
