[Tournament] 06-07 NHL Discussion Thread

cannot wait for 4pm PT to roll around... the beginning of the NHL season for me on VS. And I get to watch two games in a row... sadly I have to wait until Friday to see the Ducks season opener. But at least I got to see them play in one of their pre-season games. Their blue line looks good with the addition of Pronger over the summer. Now if only we can do something about the new uniforms ^_~

Jam it back in, in the dark.

of the two games I got to see last night, I thought the Sabres vs. Hurricanes game was the better of the two games played. The Stars vs. Avalanche game was good but not as exciting to watch with the exception of the one fight...

didn't see anything on the schedule on VS tonight for any games... so I'm wondering if I'm really going to be without any games tonight (my neighbors will be thankful about that though)...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

what in the hell is going on with Carolina? Three games straight... all losses? Are they even trying to defend their title? Some have been close and tonights loss against Washington wasn't close...


BTW: thanks dopefish for at least updating the two teams with new jerseys...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Anyway 82-0 comin. Except I don't like this 5 day break shit. Play saturday and then don't play until Friday.

Anaheim has one of those long breaks coming up this week to. They play Wednesday and then nothing until Sunday. Not pleased about having too much time off between games. Anything over three days and you're running a risk of feeling rusty in the first game back... though the rest of Anaheim's schedule doesn't look too bad for the rest of the season.

Oh well... will be at the game in about four hours... sitting a few rows above the tunnel for the Ducks. Here's to hoping for a good game tonight ^_^

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

so here's the question from today... will Forsberg be worth the trade from the Flyers to the Predators? Can Forsberg remain healthy enough for Nashville to make it through the playoffs?
Thoughts... comments... other...


Personally, to see the trade made to a Western Conference team I'm concerned a bit obviously. Nashville is a strong contender and seem to be well on their way to dominating the Western Conference as Anaheim cannot seem to get out of this slump they've been in since the end of December. They have played a few good games over the past two months... but they are just sucking on all of their lines right now, especially being held without a goal in the past three games.
And Anaheim having to face a possible healthy Forsberg won't make their lives any easier... if we can't even score on the Avs then we're sucking. Hopefully they play well tonight against Phoenix to give themselves a much needed boost of confidence.

I was speaking idiomatically.

trade deadline fast approaching and Anaheim trades some AHL player to Dallas for what? Future considerations? Frustration has got to be coming from other Anaheim fans than myself over their performance in the past couple of months... and Burke is dinking around with these farm team trades when they should be looking at some players that could help to shore up their lack of offense and defense lately. >_<

Most amazing jew boots

No way that Carlyle is going to pull Bryzgalov from goal is if he seriously starts to let pucks past him. But this could be an interesting post-season for Giguere who is UFA after this run ends for Anaheim.
But are you feeling the little reminder of 2003? While I would love to see it happen again, I almost don't want it to happen again because the other teams seem to be fighting it out until the end (unless you're in the Detroit-Calgary series) and Anaheim would be stuck sitting around for about a week.

damn right we want the Stanley Cup in California... the mockery of California hockey teams has to end. We might not have the greatest environment for kids to grow up loving hockey, but we do happen to have a couple of rather decent teams in the league right now.

FELIPE NO

Giguere is backup goaltender because he was out with the birth of his son at the end of the regular season and some complications with his son (something to do with his eyesight). And since Bryzgalov has been playing so well down the stretch and into the playoffs Carlyle doesn't want to break that hot streak. Why mess with something that seems to be working? ^_^

As for why multiple teams in one state? I don't understand why we have one in Anaheim and another just 30 minutes away, but I can understand why there would be one in San Jose and on in SoCal... there's a few hundred miles between locations.
It could be worse, the California Golden Seals could still be around ^_~

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

for you Ducks or Wild fans... you might catch a glimpse of me sitting a few rows up behind the Ducks bench tonight... wearing my lovely Ducks jersey. ^_~
Was able to score one of the two tickets for tonight's game from the boss... and would love to be there for at least one game in the post-season.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

great game for Anaheim as we beat Minnesota 3-1... the crowd was insane tonight... and even an odd appearance by Snoop Dogg (I have photos of him which I'll post later after I've gotten some sleep) at the game with his overly huge (huge like xbox) bodyguard...

Now we await who we are to take on in the 2nd round...

Spoiler:

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Anaheim lose a home game in a playoff situation? Come on... unless you put the coaching staff on the ice instead of the player not likely to lose a home game ^_~
