Official 2011-12 NHL Thread - Congratulations to the Los Angeles Kings!

Hockey is back! After a summer of tragedy, it's time to drop the puck!

Who's the Cup favorite? Who made the best off season moves? When will Crosby return? When will Doughty sign?


And to start off the season, Mike Modano officially retired yesterday.

I hate the new numbers on the top/front of the helmets. It looks dumb and annoys me for some reason.
One of the sports writers I follow on Twitter said it made finding players much easier. He thinks it will take time to get used to but fans and media alike will learn to appreciate it.

idk.. I could find players easy enough without it. I don't think it will make much of a difference to me. Maybe to newer fans.

I honestly didn't notice them in person but can see them easily on TV.

Dallas/Phoenix was an exciting one for sure. Dallas ties it up with 25 secs to go, kills a 4 on 3 PK in the OT, and then wins on a nasty shootout goal.. Not a Dallas fan, but wicked fun to watch the ending while getting work done.

Pittsburgh's Aaron Asham got into a fight with Washington's Jay Beagle last night and KOed him. Afterwards this was Asham's reaction:



He has since apologized. The Caps were upset that he went after Beagle for a facewash/punch to Kris Letang. Personally I don't care that they fought, but the gesture was a little much.

Shawn Thornton's quote about the Carcillo's hand gestures after the fight in the winter classic apply here:

"A little too AHL for me.."

Who cares about all that shit, what did Sidney Crosby have for breakfast? Did you hear the doctors cleared him for bowel movements this morning? They say he'll be walking to the mailbox on his own any day now! Whee

One of my fantasy teams went 0-10 in the first week. It's still early.

Hockey players show great respect for the game ... Aaron Asham was brave to apologize that nite.
