Quick question on NHL Gamecenter, purchasing it outside of America there shouldn't be any restrictions on what games you can watch?
It differentiates between out of market and in market games, but I'm guessing that is within the States, so if you're in Pittsburgh you can't watch Pittsburgh games that are televised (assume all of them) for 48 hours.

Penguins trolled Dan Carcillo for weeks making him think he was a chance to make the squad before finally cutting him. That's for being a massive w***er towards our team when playing for the Flyers...

Hey all,
I don't know if this is the right place, but I didn't think it was worth starting my own thread so sorry if it's wrong. I've seen some hockey on Foxtel and it looks pretty cool, but I don't really understand exactly what's going on eg the icing rule. I want to find a team to "root" for and learn some player names on the way.
Does anyone know of a good database or website with any of this stuff? Which team should I support?
Cheers

jump on board the dallas stars or new york islanders train. islanders have a cool history and are a young team (finally) on the up while dallas has Jamie Benn. Tampa Bay could also be considered, but then you'd be supporting a Florida team.....
Time zones may also factor into your choice (an eastern conference team will, mostly, play their home games at around 10 or 11am for most of the season, while a western conference team will play 1pm-2pm.)
the easiest way to figure out the most basic stuff is to probably play NHL 14/15. you can read the basic stuff but if you're not experiencing it often enough it'll take awhile to get it. And you probably won't get to watch enough games to figure it out quickly.

meanwhile the return the canucks got for the Kesler trade is, in case you forgot, absolutely garbage

Icing rule has changed recently. Its a 'hybrid' rule where icing is called as soon as a skater from the defending team crosses the faceoff dot (after the puck has crossed the goal line), of course the puck has to be shot from outside halfway to qualify
centrepiece of the trade being pick 24 will always hurt the trade's reputation for me, regardless of how good McCann turns out to be. It's mind boggling that we're couldn't get even a prospect from the Ducks. For me the big mistake was not keeping half of Kesler's salary. I can tolerate a poor return if we've tried all our options, but to not keep any salary and end up with Luca Sbisa instead of a prospect is pretty annoying. You'd have to think if we keep half of his salary, we get a better return, probably not to the point we walk away with pick 10, but at least a prospect as well as 24. so why not do it? So we could sign league average goaltender Ryan Miller to a 6 million contract? Totally unsatisfying

Semin was wearing the A against the Caps today too, hahaaaa
Kesler's no-trade clause let's him pick where he wants to go thus little or no leverage for Benning. Bob Murray isn't going to give away anything he wants to keep when he knows the Canucks aren't fielding offers from any other team.
The Ducks have lots of cap space, they're not worried about Kesler's $5M/year.
