GDT 12/12 GDT : Panthers 3 at Red Wings 2 (SO)

Just beat these clowns -
Babcock "I don't think it will be my final year here"
frankgrimes replied to trule23's topic in General
Better than dreaming about him reupping here and then be disappointed when he signs with a contender. With this strategy I can only be positive surprised as it was the case with Pasha -
It's been 6 years since their last WC. Neither the Hawks nor Washington did have to wait that long to get one again. Also it's a perfect scenario: Fenway Park, hopefully the Dropkick Murphies and a Bruins team that's gone back to their roots. If the opponent is an attractive one (i.e. Habs) this could work well. Although knowing the NHL they might find a way to water it down again, by having the Stadium Series so who knows.

I'm happy for Boston it's long overdue that being said the NHL has destroyed the Winter Classic by adding these stupid Stadium Series games. Boston - Montreal would be a dandy no question
-
The NLA is the third best league in Europe and Switzerland is a beautiful country. Clubs there are paying good money too
-
I would still welcome him back at the right price maybe Kindl for Brunner and Boulton?

Babcock "I don't think it will be my final year here"
frankgrimes replied to trule23's topic in General
His contract is running out after this year and - pure speculation - if they fail again the Blues might want to look at other options. Also Bob Hartleys contract expires too after this year, so if Babcock leaves there will be some options at least. -

Well if the Blues aren't going at least to the WCF this year Hitchcock would be available too but it would still suck. -

*sigh* as long as it doesn't come from the insiders all these rumors are just that rumors. The media seems to have a hard time getting a simple fact: Babcock won't negotiate during the season, period. I'm already prepared to see him coaching Crosby & Co. next year -
Well the guy is still fairly young (<30) so Deboer couldn't use him.. Best of luck to him hopefully he can get his career back on track soon. Signing with the devils was a mistake that team is terrible
-
Same here as someone who hates social media, that would be one heck of an All-Star lineup and hilarious if it got enough votes to actually send the players to Columbus.

Matt Martin hit on Keith Ballard.. DIRTY
frankgrimes replied to HadThomasVokounOnFortSt's topic in General
Ballard should have taken the hit he knew Martin was going to finish the hit, he made it way worse by trying to avoid it. Glad he is okay that looked damn scary. Martin shouldn't get any games for this, it was a clean hit. -
Lineup completed: McGrattan - Reaves - Gazdic Engelland - Carkner Josh "I kick Walls" Harding
-
Thanks just for the laugh voted for McGrattan
-
I don't even know where to vote for that thing so that gives a good impression of how much I care about the ASG. The skills and hardest shot competition is nice everything else meh. I'd rather see none of the Wings there, give them a nice vacation and focussing on the stuff that really counts. But I like the Brawlgame-Idea at least it would be entertaining to watch.
-
its more than time for someone to step up and can that damn idiot and his stupid failed expansion ideas. A team in LV has to be the dumbest idea ever especially when Seattle and Quebec City are waiting for teams. LV will make the Phoenix Coyotes look like a huge hockeytown.
-
Well what do you expect, Bordeleaux has almost no one willing to fight him and Roy doesn't play him enough. The team lost a very important part in Statsny because their ownership pennypinched him and they've almost lost ROR for the same reason. Avs aren't an entertaining hardnosed in your face team, if their skill doesn't come through they are extremely boring to watch so I don't expect people to show up.
-
I would understand it, if the team would have been well built but the Senators are exactly where they should be. That roster has a lot of holes not even Babcock, Hitchcock or Sutter would have much better results with this team.
-
The guy has had surgery in the summer and for sure he is going to say "everything is fine" but recovering from back surgeries takes time and so far I'm impressed that he is still producing. As long as he gets his other gear when it matters the most, he the beard should be fine
-
Ryan, Karlson, Turris and Anderson are by far their best players. Karlson doesn't know how to spell defense, Turris has to play over his capabilities and Anderson needs to be perfect every game... Seriously what did Melynk expect of this roster? Given ask the limitations McLean did one heck of a job there.. Also second quickest firing after a coach has won the Jack Adams
-
I believe he is going t o coach the Oilers by the end of the week
-
Wow that was quick but to be honest what is Ottawa expecting ? Their payroll is one of the lowest in the whole league, their best defender is playing like a fourth forward Melynk won't spend to the cap tough situation to be in. That being said MacLean didn't seem to have the right system for this club.
-
Stupid question in my mind. I mean, he knew the guy was famous and that's more than enough. Same thing here I know Mandela was famous but not why had to search it myself so a total nonstory. It's like asking a hockeyplayer about a famous athlete from another sport. The guys should focus on hockey and that's all that counts, some reporters these days jesus..
-
I have no hate for Buffalo and I would love seeing them getting McDavid. Finally the team has a great owner, the fan-support is still huge - given on where the team is ! - and they are doing this rebuild thing right. The Oilers in my mind have had more than enough first overalls and still couldn't get the job done that's on their management. Also I don't want to see McDavid in a soon to be relocated/sold market the guy should focus on hockey because he is incredible fun to watch and ridiculously talented.

I can pretty much agree with that, usually I've also listened to Jonas Siegel and their Leafs-Show of course Leafs heavy but also some solid information about the whole NHL. Sadly no update since September The PuckPodcast and Marek vs Wyshynski are my two favorites. Then there is Beyond Checkerdome a St. Louis Blues Podcast buy very funny with infos around the league. Sadly after Bell/Rogers bought the Leafs their best podcast (Leafs Talk with Andy Frost) ended.
