    Awesome to read that the Joe was a rockin' and a jolly time was had by all. Watched the game at work online. Looked like it was a blast. Good on all the fans at the Joe tonight for representing so well in a huge game. I've been to some big games there myself back in the 90's. I know what a special place that can be.

    Man do I miss the Joe. It's an old barn but it's good old barn.

    -A labor strike that reduced the season to 48 games, and the other a lockout that lost an entire season.

    -I'm a hockey fan and I can't watch many games without shelling out money for those channels.

    -$600 million with ESPN in 1998 to $72.5 with Versus in 2008

    -Bulls*** scheduling in the 2009 playoffs.

    -Terrible, terrible reffing every year. Hey! remember the 2008, 2009, 2010 playoffs?!?

    -Putting teams in cities where I don't believe hockey will ever be successful(well, maybe because of teams like the Red Wings and revenue sharing)

    -The dilution of talent because of over expansion.

    -Hockey isn't yet popular in the U.S. so lets start playing in Europe!

    -Handling of the Phoenix situation.

    -Did I mention terrible AND s***ty reffing?

    -Say what you want about his wonderful economic growth that you make it out to be but the NFL, MLB, NBA and even NASCAR spank the NHL every year.

    -And the most recent for me wasthe NHL's reaction to this fiasco. A prime example of, "Shut the hell up, we're in charge."

    This pretty well sums it up.

    I would only add that he stuck us with those awful reebok jerseys, which I am still not accustom to and will never purchase.

    The guys a weasel, a ******, a liar and tool.

    But one thing he is certainly not....is a hockey fan.

    Damn. Surprised but not shocked. Bobby worked hard and played hard.

    Prayers going out to his loved ones.

    They should make a big statue of his fist to go on Jefferson Ave. next to the statue of Joe Louis' fist.

    The age of the enforcer has truly come to an end.

    Good riddance is right! Won't miss that guy. A little surprised. Thought he had more in the tank. But oh well. Wouldn't be surprised to see him pull a farv. But for now this is more good hockey news today.

    Dino & Jimmy D in the Hall.

    Cap goes up more than expected.

    And this scumbag calls it quits leaving the ducks high & dry.

    Not a bad hockey day for late June. I love it.

    Wow. Am I really the only one that was disgusted by this? The guy openly routed against Chicago in the Conference and Cup finals...

    My link

    He said recently on a Philadelphia radio station that if forced, he'd root for the Flyers.

    "I said if you had a gun to my head, I said I did have to [root for the Flyers]," Roenick said on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "I didn't want to leave in 1996. If I have to choose, then I have to choose, that's just what it is."

    Roenick said he'd also root for the Sharks against the Hawks.

    "If you put a gun to my head, I got to go with the Sharks," Roenick said. "[sharks GM] Doug Wilson gave me the most unbelievable opportunity at the end of my career, to revitalize and finish on a high note.

    And then he is all teary eyed saying, "It's the Hawks man."

    To me this was just classic JR making the Hawks great moment all about him. There are tons of great NHL players to never win a cup. I'm sure Mike Gartner & Pat LaFontaine are not feeling sorry for him. And then Milbury consoling him just made it worse. Yet another reason why I hate nbc's coverage. Wish I could have been watching CBC.

    Call me a heartless hater all you want, but this made me sick.

    D-Mac at the Star theater less than a week after the '97 Cup win. He and Draps sat 4 or 5 rows behind us. We saw 'Contact' (I thought it stunk). I was wearing an Yzerman hat (who is the player I most want to met). I wasn't nervous at all. Congratulated him and told him I was at the Joe to see him score the game 4 Cup clinching goal. He was just outside the bathrooms waiting for Draps. I didn't want to stalk around waiting for Draper. D-Mac couldn't have been nicer. Meeting Terrible Ted at the Joe last year was pretty unreal too.
