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

Now who's ready for some hockey??

Gorgeous final goal. Awful game by the Bruins.

They started out well, but went into cruise control.

Cruise control with a steady decline? laugh out loud

In positive news though, I only went 2 weeks of being a free agent before I've been made an offer by the team I played for in the fall. (Lost the championship in OT Frown)

But quickly replaced with a 38 year old washed up veteran.

Hawks keep rolling! Will they ever lose in regulation?

And the guy who wrote "The Hockey Song", Stompin' Tom Connors, died yesterday.

If I had to take a guess at their loss, I would pick against the Blue Jackets on the 14th. Being serious too, watched the games between the two, and CBJ has played them extremely close on both occasions (1-0 reg, 4-3 OT).

Although the rematch against the Avs this Friday should be interesting.

Made a last minute decision to attend the Kings game last night. Left disappointed. Easily their worst game in the past few weeks.. they seemed to lack any sort of cohesion throughout the game, kept getting outskated, couldn't get much going, all that. Then when it did seem to click, Lehtonen's glove was always in the right spot.

Bah. It was interesting to see Jagr play, though (two goals). I can't believe he's still in the league.

Anyway... I feel like tonight is the night that Chicago finally loses in regulation. Definitely looking forward to that game.

OH, and can we take a second to talk about how ridiculous this contract is? http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=417663 8 years, $66M for GETZLAF? Don't get me wrong, he's a good player, a good captain, and he plays a good role in Anaheim, but how on earth is he worth that much? I thought the league was trying to avoid long contracts anyway. It struck me as completely absurd, but it will be fun to see what changes occur in Anaheim in the upcoming seasons to balance that out.

Bumping this thread...

Pens have won 12 straight, traded for Brendan Morrow, and apparently still aren't done.

Oh, and Carolina signed Semin to a 5 year, 35 million extension. Seems a lot.
