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 didn't have much hope going in, but losing Helm pretty much seals it for me. They still looked pretty good, but I'll reserve any more comment until I see some 5 on 5 play. Good sign that only one goal was a real beat...still not excited about long term chances.

You never know. It's the playoffs. And Detroit finds ways to win. They had an excellent home record this season and all it takes is 3 wins at home and one on the road to win a series.

Yea, I feel the same way. Maybe it means I'm not a true fan, but I'm not confident in their chances anymore. They're just not playing as well as they should be. All those injuries coming when they did has thrown all the lines out of sync and messed up the chemistry that allowed them to have 23-straight home games. We were so close to having all the pieces back in place... and now losing helm... I just don't know.

Nah, you're good. Honesty is better than delusion (see: Toronto fans).

IT will be interesting to see how Washington responds after losing in OT 1-0.

St. Louis-San Jose has been great.

They played a great third period, but a weak first two periods.. Was a fun game to watch.

That is epic. Can't tell who it is over Thomas' left shoulder, but his face is priceless.

Somebody said it was Marchand but I can't confirm.

That was my guess too.

Hoping my beloved Pens can get the PP going tonight. Going 0-3 certainly didn't do much for them in holding the Flyers off.

Going to be nice to see the FLA-NJD series finally get underway too. And it's Friday, so I can stay up late and eat all the candy and sweets I want and watch the Kings game! Cool

I don't see FLA doing much. But you never know.

I have to get up early tomorrow so I probably won't be watching the west coast games. That's the one thing that sucks living on the east coast- games start too late.
