Detroit Red Wings & the NHL

Take it out of Fla and go back to Quebec City. The Queebs would probably want the no-dicks back.

I agree.

There needs to be more Canadian teams in the NHL anyway.

I was hoping that it was going to read and re-locate. Did you guys know The Islanders will be moving to Brooklyn next year?

Yes, Islander ownership has been trying to get Uniondale to pony up for a new arena for years, oldest barn in the NHL.

City Council has rejected every proposal, Isles made good on their latest threat to leave, announced actually a few years ago.

A hockey team in Brooklyn NY.

Ok, the only thing left is to put hockey teams in Mexico City and Honolulu ...

Don't give Bettman any more ideas Liney!

Hell, they put one in the cesspool known as Columbus a few years ago. Can't get any more disgusting than that, can it?

[lineygoblue]

I guess not. Point taken.

Buffalo & Toronto mix it up in an exhibition match at the Air Canada Centre. Clarkson gets 10 game suspension for the 13th man leaving the bench, stick artist Kessel faces the NHL disciplinary board today. Great goalie scrap too!

WTF was Carlyle doing sending Kessel out there after Devane vs. Tropp?

[Mike]

That is just way too much effort for a pre-season game.

Well add this to Ovie's list of superfluous accomplishments, of course he will be hard pressed to make it back to Chicago for the Caps' season opener against the Hawks, exhausted too no doubt.

Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin was the first Russian to carry the flame Sunday. It will make its way through Greece for seven days before arriving at the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens, site of the 1896 Olympics, next weekend for the handover to Russia.

The torch is at the ISS now (unlit of course)

[Optimus Prime]

Ovie managed to fulfill his lifelong dream of running in 30C+ weather in Athens, Greece and of course the Russians had him running in a snowmobile suit.

Detroit 3 - 'Canes 2 (OT). Wings score with 17 seconds left (5 shots on goal in a ten second span) and then ice it a couple of minutes into OT. That one must suck for Carolina. They got outshot, but out played the Wings for much of the game. Detroit was very sloppy in the passing game.

[lineygoblue]

I've seen Detroit play that type of game way too many times ...
