If Vince McMahon sees this he will buy them out and create the.....XHL!

Why choose? I want both!

I don't really care about practice jerseys. If I see a McDonalds logo on a jersey during an actual game though I will be pretty pissed off.

It's pretty difficult. I always get sexually harassed at the entrance. I'd like to think it's because I'm incredibly sexy, but it's probably because I look Romanian and we are known to smuggle booze into church.

Tickets are only the beginning too. Buy a Pizza and a Beer at the ACC and tell me how your wallet feels afterwards. Nevermind the fact that parking alone can cost more than a Coyotes game.

Lebda only played 17 seconds in the third period last night. It's no wonder the Leafs came back and won.

Some people are actually putting their kids on the waiting list on the day they are born. That way they might actually have tickets by the time they are 18.

The problem is its nearly impossible to impose an effective boycott in a Toronto hockey market. If I want Maple Leafs season tickets I would have to go on their 10-20 year waiting list. The demand is insane.

Don't get me wrong, I would absolutely love to see the Phoenix Coyotes,Atlanta Thrashers and Florida Panthers sell out every single night. I want NHL news to be the top story on ESPN.com 200 days a year. The only problem with that pipe dream is it's miserably failing at the moment. Fans in these markets aren't even willing to sell out an arena when tickets go as low as $14. Meanwhile in Toronto I pay $40 for parking and $120 for a ticket (If I'm lucky!) and yet they can sell out during a fatal blizzard! Maybe I exaggerated a bit out of anger, but I still think the league would be much more entertaining today because each team would have more depth and guys like Rickard Wallin and Jason Williams would be no more!

Just because the talent pool is bigger doesn't mean we should be putting a hockey team in a desert! I suppose if the NHL made wiser re-location decisions in the past I might be ok with a 30 team league, but frankly every team has 4 or 5 players that are temporary plugs at best. From a players perspective it's great because they keep the dream alive, but from a fans perspective it's like...WTF are some of these guys doing here?

Screw the cap and revenue sharing! Why the hell should the stronger teams like the Wings,Leafs,Habs,Rangers ect. be expected to pay for these hopeless markets like Phoenix and Atlanta? It's not our fault they can't form a decent fanbase. The league has become watered down with 30 teams. Guys who would have never made the NHL in late 80s/early 90s are now becoming NHL regulars. It's no wonder the quality of the game has suffered. I would not be against eliminating a few teams and going back to a 24 team format.

Dare I ask what's next? Please not another 7 week negotiation. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Kovalchuk!

True, but he was still just an average goalie at best. Even if he manages to stay healthy for the remainder of his contract it could still turn out to be a huge bust. He has never really lived up to the hype.

I doubt the league does anything. Sure this deal is crazy, but so was the DiPietro deal. Signing an average injury prone goalie for 15 years isn't any better.

I sneezed unexpectedly with a mouth full of red wine today and got it all over my buddies white shirt. I should have saved something like this for my future father in law

I'm just glad this whole thing is over. Hopefully the floodgates open now and we see a few more trades.

Marc Andre Fleury is so overrated it hurts. For starters a 2.65 GAA is hardly something to brag about, especially when you play on a great team. Lets forget GAA for a second though because I know people like to bring up SV%. MARC ANDRE FLEURY 2005/2006 .898 2006/2007 .906 2007/2008 .921 2008/2009 .912 2009/2010 .905 JEAN SEBASTIEN GIGUERE 2005/2006 .911 2006/2007 .918 2007/2008 .922 2008/2009 .900 2009/2010 .916 (With Toronto) Does anyone see the irony here? JS Giguere is a past his prime pile of puke according to many people and yet Fleury makes the Top 10 in some cases? Give me a break!!! Put Marc-Andre on the Leafs and see if he can pull off a GAA lower than 3.20 and a save % higher than .900. I highly doubt he can.

Chuck Fletcher....the son of Cliff Fletcher no? That says it all right there doesn't it? Cliff signed Jeff F**king Finger for 3.5million per season. I guess overpayment runs in the family.

I am so confused....

I'm interested , but the word "College" scares me. I've already failed at that twice

I purchased tobacco from a man who looks exactly like the dude in the blackhawks logo today. I was totally tripping out. In Canada they tax cigarettes to death, so we must resort to buying it from the reserves.

Jimmy is not top 10. Any unbiased fan would agree. He still has a lot to prove.

She goes by both. Professionally she is called Willa Ford, but she also goes by Mandy Modano. It's kinda like the Muhammad Ali/Cassius Clay situation...only much hotter.
