They're not worried about the weather on New Years Day, they are worried about the weather right now, and the past few days being too warm to get the correct amount of ice down in time for New Years Day.

See this Puck Daddy article.

Crosby has to be the biggest coward/p***y in the NHL.

Good God I hate him!

Absolutely Bush-League the way Crosby jumped him. There is a code in the NHL, and Crosby ignored it. If he had let McLean square up, Brett would have beat him like a rented mule.

Looks like McLean got cut when Sidney pile-drove Brett's head into the ice. I look forward to the next time Florida plays the Pens, hopefully someone will give it right back.

Have you seen the starters for the All-Star Game? The Canadian's fans gotta be suffering from finger-clicking-strain. Komisarek? Kovalev???
And the west isn't much better, but I can see giving Tom's Blackhawk brothers a pass since it's been a while.

Thinking maybe they better find a different way of voting from now on, because even some of the reserve picks weren't much better.

The crazy thing is that Sharp and Keith are much more deserving than Toews and Campbell, Gary.

...and Ovechkin not even being voted in on the East team???? Get real!

I do like Toews but Ovechkin being overlooked is proofpositive that this fan based system needs to go, period.

The All-Star game is a joke....just a chance for fans to come out and watch their faves.

It is about as close to a real NHL hockey game as Minature Golf is to a PGA tournament.

Good call on Keith....what a great player he's becoming! Next year i'm gonna flood the box for Phaneuf. That way somebody gets their world rocked during the score-a-thon.

Sort of like when Dave Manson made the All-Star teams 3 times in the 90s...someone forgot to tell him it was an "exhibition" game.

I think Ducan Keith has become perhaps the best "defensive defenseman" in the NHL....amazing kid, and he just keeps getting better, Gary.

Just a quick plug for my new Russian Hockey League jersey

Just got home from the Stars Game with my 8 year old son. He finally got to see a shoot live....It was neat to see the excitement in his eyes.

I wish I was in the 4th year of my program now...there is an awesome internship with the Predators working in hockey ops open

01-17-2009, 05:47 PM

Took the whole family to the Hitmen game last night, our CHL franchise. They are #1 in Canada right now, even Piper (my 3 year old daughter) loved it. Boys one 6-3 makes them 25 and 1 at home.

Flames beat San Jose in the Shark Tank handing them there first home loss since last February.

My teams are doing awesome..........long way from the last game yet but a great season to be in Calgary.

Havlat gets the OT winner as the Hawks finally solve the Blues this season, Actually, the Hawks probably should have lost in regulation, but the Blews missed several open nets...they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn tonight.

icehog3 · 01-18-2009, 12:11 AM

What a game tonight between the best 2 teams in the West, Detroit and San Jose. Two amazingly skilled teams, just poetry in motion watch. Though I love the Hawks, what am amazing playoff series it would be if these two teams met in the Western Conference Finals. If San Jose gets good goaltending, it is hard to imagine any team overcoming their team speed in a 7 game series.

From what I saw of it I agree, it doesn't hurt that my fantasy players did well too

taltos · 01-18-2009, 06:54 AM

Tough loss for the Bruins yesterday. Hurts when both teams are playing well and the game is decided when a good player makes a couple of stupid rookie mistakes. On another note, since I got HDTV, I find that I am enjoying watching hockey much more. Is it just me or is this a common experience?
