Sounds like the NHL and NHLPA finally agreed on a deal.

Now who's ready for some hockey??

glad to see you back. did you go to the home opener? my roommates went. they said the ceremony was pretty cool. they got nice little replica banners too
Wave
I was actually out of town, so nope. I bet it would have been fun, even though they lost, and dang, I want a little banner now. I hear they have a replica ring giveaway coming up, though. But I think I'm going to the game on the 31st against Nashville. I'll play the rest of the season by ear.

Game is in about an hour... I am hoping they'll get it together tonight. Pray

I'm going to pretend that Kings 5 on 3 for two whole minutes never happened... which shouldn't be too hard, because it's almost like it didn't.

I'm already worried about this game.

Ugghhhhh I'm going to rage.

The Stars had it made, but gave up so many stupid penalties. Freaking idiocy.

HURR DURR LET ME RAM THE BACK OF THIS GUY FOR NO REASON



And while Lehtonen is an amazing tender, they need to stop relying on him as their sole defense. A lot of these situations should not have happened.

Sorry, Andy.. I need a good game by Price tonight for fantasy. Stick Out Tongue
Don't be sorry - the Caps are just awful right now.

That was almost scripted. Edmonton's new golden boy ties the game with 5 seconds remaining, then they win in OT.

Lehtonen wasn't ever that good in Atlanta. Then again he had Atlanta's defense in front of him. Stars haven't had a decent goalie since Belfour left.

He was decent in Atlanta, we just had a shitty team. It's nice seeing him with a team that consists of more than Hossa and Kovalchuk.

Atlanta had Heatley and Savard too. They just never had good D. They had good goaltending but with the crappy D, they could never win.

Kovalchuk was one of the worst defenders (if you could call that defense). Heatley wasn't much better but Kovalchuk was rancid. His plus/minus was atrocious each and every year he was in ATL. Loved him for Pts, Ast, and SOG but would never draft him because of plus/minus.

I'm not even sure they even had defenders in ATL then either. Much like how the Blue Jackets are these days. laugh out loud
