I'll be glad to see the NHL not in the Olympics anymore. The games aren't fun to watch and I find the notion of a guy who has spent his entire adult life in the US to be a "Russian" for three weeks to be laughable.

Damn Packfan, you watch a lot of TV. LOL
I think ESPN was just awarded the 2016 WC broadcast rights in US recently. A return to hockey for them, I say fuck them. I have boycotted them for years TV website, the whole shebang."Whole milk, not the candy-ass 2-percent or skim milk."

Originally posted by WingsFanThe ass wipe even wants to add more teams, and if you have DirecTV (like I do I) I have the choice programming with 2 DVR's (living room/bedroom) which is around $100 a month. Then I have Netflix for my movies and television shows (mostly watch on my tablet).
NBC Sports is not on that package. Detroit Fox Sports only covers the first two rounds of the Red Wings, so if they go past that I have to upgrade my package for only one F' ing channel. Still, depending on whos still playing I usually do it anyway the last few years to watch the finals.

Speaking of McDavid his numbers in the OHL are superstaresque. Connor McDavid finishes OHL season with 120 points in 47*games, oh yeah he missed 2 months with a broken hand. LOL
Pretty Elite company.
McDavid ends his final OHL season with a 2.55 PPG. Crosby had 2.7 PPG in his final season of junior. Lindros was 2.61 in best year.
Find all the latest NHL news, live coverage, videos, highlights, stats, predictions, and results right here on NBC Sports.
GoPro...Crosby mad skills...anyone that has ever played hockey realizes what it takes just to skate, pass, shoot and check while playing the fastest game in the world would have to crown him the greatest athlete in civilized sport.

Crosby's puck possession time is among the highest in the League. A good defense is the best offense I always say.
However Pens new coach Johnson has the whole team focused on playing 200 ft, hence the tight NHL scoring race this season. Doesn't help when you've missed 6 games with injury, Malkin missing 1/3 injured, Latang in the hospital with a concussion and linemate Dupuis missing the entire season on IR but the Kid soldiers on, carrying the entire team on his back.
Doesn't matter Pens will collapse in the playoffs again this Spring anyway, not built for the grind. If your goaltender can't steal a few games it is over. I expect the Rangers, Isles or even dark horse Caps to come out of the East. Hopefully the Bruins fail to make the playoffs LOL."Whole milk, not the candy-ass 2-percent or skim milk."

Yeah, LA on their first Cup run made the playoffs on the last day of the RS. 8th seed in the West never won it before, Quick shut the door and it was over.
Anaheim and Nashville look good in the West, Kaneless Chicago still has teeth too.Last edited by Prime2; April 2, 2015, 07:47 PM."Whole milk, not the candy-ass 2-percent or skim milk."

At 95 points apiece the Wings and the Pens may still not make the playoffs, unreal.
Equally nuts, the Oilers have the Pens first round draft pick which will give Edmonton 2 cracks #1 Conner McDavid in the draft. LOLLast edited by Prime2; April 6, 2015, 06:39 PM."Whole milk, not the candy-ass 2-percent or skim milk."
