    NHL Will Expand to Vegas

    This would be a colossal mistake. It's irrelevant which conference the Wings play in if the league collapses around them. The league is too big with 30 teams -- no more.

    Calder no longer worst +/- in the league!

    I didn't figure this would take long, now that he's on an NHL-quality team.

    Pens are staying in Pittsburgh

    I would have been shocked had Lemieux and Co. actually gone through with a move. I always figured the moving threats were mostly a negotiating ploy.

    The Las Vegas Penguins?

    Moving to Vegas would be a joke and a travesty.

    God Bless the L.A. Marathon!

    Amen (again).

    Most Annoying NHL Fans

    Well done! I don't know about most annoying fans, but some of the most annoying human beings I've even run across are the arrogant anti-south bigots. I've spent a lot of time south of the Mason-Dixon and have thoroughly enjoyed it every time...along the way I've run into some of the best people this country has to offer.

    Nashville @ San Jose

    Preds win.

    Nashville @ San Jose

    Preds go to the PP with about :35 left in OT. Nabokov made an unreal save with :00.5 left. Looks like we'll have a shootout.

    Nashville @ San Jose

    SJ on the power play for basically the rest of regulation... And regulation ends tied 3-3.

    Nashville @ San Jose

    SJ just tied it 3-3. 4:08 left in the 3rd.

    Nashville @ San Jose

    Official: Ryan Smyth dealt to Islanders

    Bertuzzi is also a free agent in a couple months...

    Official: Ryan Smyth dealt to Islanders

    Smyth's agent just said on TSN that it was realized that Smyth wouldn't resign at 2:40. So the trade talks appear to only have gotten serious with 20 minutes left to play. With that knowledge on top of the reports of the GM's shock in regards to Smyth's availability...can we now all agree that the Wings had no chance here?? Confirmed by Smyth's agent.

    The Idiocy of Ecklund

    No more Eklund threads please.
  16. Sting 11

    Line ideas, anyone?

    Think playoffs...Lang has to be in the top-six then.
  17. Sting 11

    Line ideas, anyone?

    Holmstrom must be on the PP, to screen the goalie for the point shots.

    Official: Ryan Smyth dealt to Islanders

    TSN just said several GMs are telling them they had no idea Smyth was available... We now have to wonder if Holland was one of those GMs.
  19. Sting 11

    Line ideas, anyone?

    Datsyuk-Zetterberg-Holmstrom Calder- Lang- Bertuzzi Cleary- Filppula -Samuelsson Franzen- Draper -Maltby That's a heck of a lineup.

    Ekland still at it.

    No use holding your breath for this one, it did not occur. Hopefully Eklund made his final appearance on an international sports TV show today, this has to be an awful embarassment for Sportsnet. I can't believe they were stupid enough to have him on TV in the first place.

    Official: Ryan Smyth dealt to Islanders

    Too big of a gamble.

    Official: Ryan Smyth dealt to Islanders

    I'm certain Smyth was available, but there were also contract negotiations going on. I'm pretty sure the Wings weren't willing to wait until the last minute to make their move and risk being left without a chair when the music stopped. This trade was destined to not occur until the very last minute before the deadline.

    Official: Ryan Smyth dealt to Islanders

    They seem to be pretty confident about it, just awaiting confirmation. WOW.

    Norstrom traded to Dallas

    To Dallas per TSN. No word on what's going back to LA yet.
  25. Sting 11

    Ekland still at it.

    I believe it was an Eklund rumor that made it to air, because he was working with Sportsnet today. Eklund had a bad day today.
