    Six outdoor games in 2014 for NHL

    I don't even want it annually, would prefer something like all 2 or maybe even 3 years to keep it unique and special. Having a Rollerblade-Classic is not my understanding of an outdoor-game but I guess uncle Gary and his stupid BOG don't care much about the integrity of the game. Personally speaking I also don't want the league to be more popular all I want is good, tight hockey with enforcers, hard-hitting and less comparisions with other league, hockey is hockey it is different and I like it that way.

    WCQF - (5) Kings vs. (4) Blues

    Save for the Wings Ducks series this was easily the best, the Kings are going to make it to the WCF again this year no question. Also this is good for the Wings, less money for the Blues = they wont be able to re-sign Shattenkirk AND Pietrangelo

    WCQF Game 6 GDT : Ducks 3 at Red Wings 4 (OT) - (Series Tied 3-3)

    If someone would have told me before the season, that this team would make the playoffs and have almost overcome the 2 seeded team I'd have told them to stop dreaming. No matter what is happening tomorrow, the young guns took a big step forward which will be a huge key going forward. All I really want is a RED WHITE Ducks-Arena, turn this beauty into a homegame for the Wings :-)=
  4. Personally for me there are lot of things: - bench clearing line-brawls - enforcers dealing with pests - thrilling trade-dead-lines, 1 of July and draft day - creative contracts - hockey played like a mans game - less diving - less political bulls*** flooding into the game - powerforwards not getting called for clean-checks - hipchecks! what happened to them? - bone crushing clean hitts - less suits in the arenas+ - players playing without helmets - rivalries fueled with pure hatred for the opponent - stacked line-ups probably one of the worst parts about the new new NHL is that so many teams are almost equal save for a few superstars Given all these things, it doesn't surprise me how fast my interest in the NHL (not the sport iself) is dwindling down quickly.
  5. Tough loss but the team battled hard and it is a good learning experience for the young players against such as strong team.
  6. I am a big fan of hockey night in Canada and especially Don Cherry, guy has seen more hockey than almost everyone on this planet and he knows a lot about the sport. Also a huge TSN fan, Dreger, McKenzie and LeBrun are by far the best hockey-insiders. Oh an I miss having full seasons without and seeing guys like Illitch, Dolan being able to go crazy and create dynastylike teams!

    LOL well having the chance to play for a soon very good goalie (Rask), and in front of a gigantic norristype defenseman (Chara) are for sure two things in his head now you've made your bed Iginla now sleep in it. Maybe uncle Gary and Malkin are going to come for aparty lmao, well done Isles well done.

    Love the tenacity and never quit attitude the Isles are bringing turns out the "easy opponent" isn't so easy to play against right Pittsburgh? Love it

    What do we need this off-season?

    Buyout: Samuelson Trade: Filpulla in: Clarkson please - guy can turn into a beast, is a gritty forward and could open a lot of space for Pasha Scott, McGrattan - no brainer you can not go into the east without an enforcer and now the hardest part: a legit number 1 defenseman, offersheet one if the chance is there. Other than that, keep bringin up the young guns and look and let them learn, I love watching Dekeyser, Brunner, Tatar, Nyquist, Smith play.

    Things that Shanny missed.

    Montreal players starting crap, Subban jumping a guy, another one shooting at a Senators player, Hulk Weber he doesn't see the obvious but well he is in front of a great company with guys like Bettman.

    Norris Finalists announced: Letang, Subban, Suter

    Should be a huge win for Suter the guy locks up big minutes, is elite and rarefly makes mistakes just look at Weber without him.

    WCQF Game 4 GDT : Ducks 2 @ Red Wings 3 (OT) - (Series tied, 2-2)

    Tie it up or be done in 5, putting Samuelson on the top line seems like a great start.

    ECQF - (7) Senators vs. (2) Canadiens

    Yeah that was gold MacLean owned Therrien so easily but personally speaking I think Blues Kings is by far the best series right now.

    Abdelkader suspended 2 games for hit on Lydman

    Some Players are intentionally trying to break the opponents hand I like Sedin I really do but man this could have caused a serious injury.

    Ottawa - Montreal 5 on 5 fight

    So should Prust and that player, who shot the puck directly at a Senator at the end of the game. But I guess the department of inconsistency will do nothing.
