Well, McKinnon got away with a crosscheck in the face today. Shalunov got 5+game+extra game for a similar hit against the Slovaks. Sometimes the refs see it and sometimes not. See you in the final, if you can beat the US again that is.

That is not that bad. Canadian put himself in a stupid position.

At this rate, both leaders need to pull their collective heads out of their asses and make something happen.

I think the rest of this season and all of next would be a good start...=)

lol @ you thinking his argument has no anchor in reality when it is based on playing the actual games. Yours on the other hand has little anchor in reality as it is the one based primarily on your own opinion of who is better. So since his actually happened, it literally makes a lot of sense. In your fictional example, yes the Devils were the better team. Because they won. On the ice. In reality. Where the game is actually played. As to why they won, of course injuries play a factor. Just like they do when the Wings win. It seems like the Kings would've been better if they were healthy, but who knows? We'll never know because that's not what happened. What we do know was the Devils won. The Stanley Cup isn't won by who has the best team on paper or on your theories as to who is better. It's won on the ice.

I remember this cocktease from several weeks ago, and right before the 2005 season was cancelled. I'll believe it when I see it.

Red Wings sources: Hockey season will be salvaged, Jan. 19 start http://motorcitymuckraker.com/2012/12/30/red-wings-sources-hockey-season-will-be-salvaged-jan-19-start/ I'm guessing Ted Lindsay I'm still cautiously optimistic. This is the NHL we're talking about.

I like this offer. The league budged a little. Now its time for the players to do the same here. If there is a counter offer it better have only a few small concession requests. Ask maybe for 8 year re-sign contract limit rather than 7 and 11% variance. Just try to squeeze a little more out of the same proposal. If the players try to counter with something different the season will be lost. The way negotiations have gone, each time there are counter offers the nhl has disappeared for a couple weeks.

I'm not sure I follow. Yakupov says the Canadians are dirty. In order to prove that they aren't Cherry talks about team and league administrative decisions that are made completely off the ice? Cherry is a retarded dinosaur. Stop listening to this old curmudgeon Canada!
