I read that 12 is the maximum National games each team can get.

I guess not, with the flex could be up to 21 games

14 Bruins games will be broadcast nationally in the United States on VERSUS (games marked as "non-exclusive" will also be televised locally on NESN). Three games will be broadcast nationally on NBC, with an additional four marked as "flex" games by NBC, meaning they potentially could become nationally televised games on NBC if the network chooses.

Blame ESPN.com for being an unreliable source of information.

I know it was making appearances in Oxford and Davison. Both near me, but I couldn't make it to either.

For all you Boston fanboys the purehockey store in Braintree will be selling Bruins team gear from the 2010-11 season on Sep 10th 10 am.

Just looking out.

I saw for the first time the other day the hit on Crosby that put him in the condition he is in right now, that hit has no place in ANY level of sports. As much as I do not like Crosby, I wish him the best and hope he can soon play again. When he doesn't play like a baby he is great to watch.

Are you talking about when he ran into Steckel at the Winter Classic or when the Penguins foolishly put him back in against Tampa Bay and Hedman finished his check?

Game happens fast at that level, I don't think there was intent on Steckel's part. Crosby's teammate Matt Cooke makes more questionable hits than that on a weekly basis.

I think Steckel decided he wasnt going to move for him. He knew he was there though and he knew he was going to catch him.

No argument on Cooke. Dont think anyone could argue there has been a dirty player in many years. Loved seeing him get iced by Ivander Kane.

I was talking about the winter classic hit. from what it looked like, and I saw it once, was that he he blind sided him with an eblow to the head. Like I said I saw it once and only once. That's what it looked like to me, just my I agree 100% on your thoughts on mike Cooke. Correct me if im wrong, but, I believe it was him that hit marc savard originally, and we know what has happened to him. Either way, when Crosby plays like a pro, and not a baby, he is a great player.

Cooke can count Marc Savard among his many victims.

Here is the hit on Crosby so you can see it again.

What a shame to hear this, I got the opportunity to see Wade score his first NHL goal with the Avalanche.

RIP Wade

talk about the gorilla in the corner. You have to imagine the league is panicked praying this stops. Just reinforces my desire to be careful with the boy. Repetitive concussions effects seem to be something that can't be ignored as to depression and destructive behavior.

35 with a wife and two kids. My age, I can't imagine what he was thinking if everything is as it appears. RIP. Prayers to the family

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien has been arrested in Minnesota on suspicion of boating while intoxicated.

An arrest log for the Hennepin County jail says Byfuglien was booked just after 11 p.m. local time Wednesday and released early Thursday morning. He has not been formally charged.
