WTH Over!!!!

Isles may move to K.C. I hope those Hempstead Dems get off it and agree. I wonder how more jobs and more revenue could hurt.

ARRRRRGGGGGG! Vent over.

My Hurricanes lost a tough one to the Rangers the other night... but got a nice win at home against the hapless Lightning tonight. Carolina really needs to get their act together if they are going to make the playoffs. The are flirting with not making it... again.

Ladd hasn't scored for a month, Joe, and the Hawks are looking pretty mediocre the last month as well.

Good performance, but still a joke on the two teams.

Hopefully the next half of the year will be exciting. Wondering what is going to happen in the West. The Stars have slowly worked their way towards a playoff spot, and the Canucks have their goalie back, sure be an exciting couple months.

Hey Tom, looks like I have even more reason to make my way to Chicago. My buddy Flats just was hired on as Developmental Goaltending Coach for your beloved Hawks.

Coyotes put up a good fight for the sharks last night. The west is going to be exciting near the end. And now the sharks are in first place in the league! I need to get center ice so I can watch all these games, though I did find a website that streams every pro sport on my computer, it isn't the same watching it on a 12 inch screen.

Ya I watch all my sport streaming but I have a 19 inch monitor in my small room hooked up to surround sound so Its not to bad.

I was watching the Panthers Habs Game last night(which the Habs played terrible)...In Florida $17.50 gets you a ticket to the game, parking, and some sort of combo meal(Drink hot dog and chips I think). Talk about an awesome price point and they still can't get any fans down there. It costs more for just a ticket to a Moose game in Winnipeg(AHL) which average around $20. Not to mention parking is $5 bucks and a combo $10ish. Twice as much for hockey that is a level below the NHL...crazy.

On a side note for my Organizational Theory class I'm righting a paper on the NHL's decision to expand in to non-traditional hockey markets.

I'm tempted to pick up a big monitor for when I stream games. I know I would get my monies worth, as that is basically all I watch on tv.

I think in some places it has actually worked out well, and in others, not so much. I don't know what is going through the lightning owner's heads though, it is like they are trying to loose. Trade Boyle and Luckowich, for essentially nothing, and then trade away the player they got for literally nothing. Good thing they got Vincent, but even that isn't helping them.

Maybe they could trade Vinnie to the Blackhawks for essentially nothing?

Big warm up for the stupor bowl today, Bruins at Canadiens. Kick some Canadian butt Boston.

Then I completely understand!

[bugmenot]

Towards the end of the game they played ok, but having watched them the entire season, they weren't skating too well. The last couple minutes got exciting, but Khabibulin managed to keep it out. Missing Boyle AND Luckowich hurts as they are paired as defenseman, but who knows what would have happened. I agree, it is a huge boost to the Hawks, especially beating the Sharks at home. I'm glad that the Hawks are leading the league in attendance. Kind of a shame the way they disappeared for awhile, but seems like the son taking over has a lot to do with it.

I'm hoping they end up meeting in the playoffs, as I think it would be exciting to watch two young teams go at it. What am I talking about though, I just love watching quality hockey, and talking about it with people who share the same passion as me. CA as a whole does not appreciate it, though San Jose certainly does.

[taltos]

What was with those old style Montreal uniforms today? No wonder they lost, too busy laughing whenever they saw their reflection.

That would be great...especially if it were in the Western Conference Finals.

[acruce]

My Stars are starting to play some good hockey. How about last nights game 10 to 2 over the Rangers.

[smokeyandthebandit05]

Devils beat the Sharks!!!
