2014/15 NHL Regular Season Thread

[Bennett.]

Mike Babcock coming to the Leafs on an 8 year, 50 million dollar contract.
Hopefully he doesn't pull a Malthouse.

Cue the Babcock accent : "Well, we've got a good team here. Lotsa work to do....."

 

[Bennett.]

Man, I just want to see the Leafs do.....something...

 

[PalaceGun]

de Boer to de Charks.

Will be interesting to see what he can do there.

NHL play offs got me interested in NHL.
Have picked the Sabres as a team, know nothing about them other than the fact that they're s**t ^_^

What prompted your decision to choose Buffalo?

Haha sounds like I have chosen badly, I like it.
I don't like the idea of going for a team at the top, I like to choose one at the bottom, experience the lows up to the highs
Have I chosen the right team? I also like their Uniform/Logo.
Just saw they had the most losses in the regular season.

I chose the Bruins as a kid because I liked using them in NHL 97, it seems cheaty to claim them now, considering they've won a premiership since then.

 

[Baird]

I'm the same with not choosing a team on top, but choosing the worst of all seems a bit extreme

You have Jack Eichel to look forward too next season, will go pick 2.

I am a Cleveland Browns fan, an Essendon fan and a Parramatta Eels fan.
Pain is all I know

Thanks, I'll keep on a look out for him.
The other one I considered was the Philadelphia Flyers, purely because of Always Sunny.

 

[Rack Watts]

Wow! I was just looking at all the teams, my Grandad used to wear the Toronto Maple Leafs hat whenever he used to do work in the garden.

 

[Hawks1523]

No wonder you are bipolar

 

[Phone]

picked a team in a strong-ish market, with a owner willing to spend and who has spent the last two seasons tanking for McEichel which has now finished. Could have done worse. They'll probably suck next season but their future should be decent enough.

at least you didn't pick the Yotes........

 

[Bradesmaen]

Eichel won't be joining for a year anyway I suspect. So they can suck some more, get a Auston Matthews on the right of Eichel and Kane on the left.

Glendale council meeting tonight to vote on ending the desert dawgs' deal.

There's a nice new 18,000+ seat rink almost completed on the shores of the mighty St. Lawrence River. Fair chance they would get decent crowd.

I think it's just a negotiation ploy. Right now the City is giving the Yotes 15 million a year to run the place and only getting half of that back, plus the Yotes have a clause that says they can cancel the contract after 5 years if they lose enough million (which of course they can). This is their only leverage to get the contract re-negotiated on better terms for the City, and we all know they're looking to move after 5 years anyway so who cares if the City damages the long term relationship.

Filip Forsberg three points in his past twelve games.

If you can find a betting market get on Ekblad for the Calder.

Got on Ekblad at $4.40 on Sportsbet....

You're welcome.

 

[PalaceGun]

I see three NHL General
Managers were drunk when voting on the Vezina.

I'll say Slats, Hextall and Nonis?

 

[Kakkle]

Horrible cover

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Congrats to Carey Price for dominating the NHL awards.

Too bad he couldn't do it in the playoffs
