Cheeego is known for it's hook to Notre Dame as discussed above. What Notre Dame known as ....aaah the IRISH. What city in 'Murcia is considered the home of Irish people ...Buuhston https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2016/03/17/just-how-irish-boston/aTIo00BOP5Nyw6WdHAgXSI/story.html hence the reasoning in the NHL minds. at least this makes sense sitting in an airport bar in Raleigh

One of the best videos for differences in "football" vs hockey

Just thinking how I would react if I was the emergency goalie and had had to play for say the Hawks, Pens, Leafs. Could I control my internal hatred of those teams to make a save. Or the thought of hearing a Wings victory song while on ice knowing I helped be too much for me to handle and I would melt down emotionally.

Feeling a bit salty this morning so .... Are we going through a bit of rough times sure but does that mean we still aren't Hockeytown home of Howe, Lindsay, Yzerman etc? We are an original 6 and don't have to be like Vegas or others with all the crazy crap pregame stuff. We know the game we appreciate the details of the game. Eventually the ship will turn around and that moniker will fit. If you want to remove the ads AND Hockeytown off center ice I could possibly agree and go with an "old school" look if you will rant continues All this lets get "modernized" and hip is all kinda crap in my eyes. Let's start being like all the franchises and do the same song after a goal. Let's pull down the all the championship banners Let's pull down the retired jerseys Let's get rid of Don't stop believing after a victory. Let's get rid of the Octopus visual's(they already have crushed the throwing) Let's change the colors from red to maybe teal as the marketing survey says so. My old crusty arse says sometimes leaving things in place hooks the future with the past ie the banners, jerseys, songs etc. rant over Feel free to flame away I am getting another cup of coffee.....

a classic probably better than some of Peter the Great's dives

wait no Bud or Coors or Strohs or the most Murican beer EVER..... PBR!!!!

50% of the top 10 are DEFENSE waaay better than I expected in a prospect evaluation 1. Zadina Very Good Prospects: 2. Veleno 3. Rasmussen Legit Propects: 4. Hronek 5. Berggren Have a Chance Prospects: 6. Cholowski 7. Svechnikov 8. McIssac 9. Saarijarvi 10. Hicketts ===================== Drops to 20% when you include the big club guys 1. Larkin 2. Zadina 3. Mantha 4. Veleno 5. Rasmussen 6. Hronek 7. Berggren 8. Bertuzzi 9. Cholowski 10. Svechnikov Find it interesting Hronek is rated above Bert Not sure I dig that not a single goalie was have a chance or legit. But hey everyone has a an opinion and hoping one of the goalies becomes a chance...LOL

From your lips to Gods ears ...git er done Jesus

Interesting read I wonder if they reduced the equipment size like shoulder pads so when I delver the "hit" I feel it too. Might reduce some of the full on speed hits. I think the no touch icing rule has been a pretty decent change. I think Lindros is a wee bit pissed(and rightfully so) he didn't to play as much he desired. But then again when you get popped by Stevens like this your career isn't going to last long. Granted today Stevens would have been suspended for games upon games for this.

Oh yes Gary Thorne and Clement Clement "hands of cement"

Looking @ that eye chart of a schedule the Hawks are on more that both Pitt and Washington you know the team that won that silver cup thingy. Plus why does Philly make it on 17 times oh wait Comcast is based in Philly and owns NBC. Man really sucks to be a team out west based on those numbers presented in the chart

Was looking at the schedule and ticket prices to budget for my annual trek north to see a game. Last year I paid around 170 per ticket for seats in section 120 row 14 for a game against the Canes in Feb. I figure I get back to see friends and family and a game once a year so I am willing to spend a little more for my seats and plus I budget for it for a few months. Looking at prices/games and I am sure glad I have that new stent in my heart otherwise I might be on the floor writhing in pain. Tickets are showing in the same area around 400 bucks on stubhub/ticketmaster etc. Is this due to the season not starting yet and people just putting numbers up there? I am going to hold off and pick a couple of games and see where prices land and it might not be a trip this year if these prices keep holding. Last game of the year against Buffalo seats are over 250

there fixed it for ya in bold. But as far as the ticket prices go I budget about 50 a month starting in Aug to cover my tickets @ a game. Most times I stay at friends house on Friday Saturday night is Troy Marriott on points, flights are on miles plus rental car is usually fairly cheap or on points. If all those expenses weren't covered by points for me a guessimate to see a game with GF 350 tickets avg 600 2 flights and thats if Delta feels like not crushing me 350 2 nights @ hotel 125 Rental car 120 min for beer 6 @ 20 might be a low estimate ... Not including food outside the arena So has potential to be over well over 1500 to see a game when the points die my seeing games will cease until the Wings are contenders. At which point the numbers will go up dramatically but then again I would be buying playoff tickets but if i start budgeting 50 per month the next 5 years.......

Whew it's Helene reporting it ..so can't be true. But man if it is and he hasn't been able to train fully that is a bad scenario. Plus last year he was missing practice just to play. Gotta think his odds go up that he goes on LTIR at start of season if not the whole time. Back injuries suck!! I am still trying to recover from 2 bulging disks I munged up in July somehow. Can't imagine trying to play through the pain. Z is a total bad arse for playing this long. We just might see some more youngins this year. On the job training boys!!

So when he is 28 he will command a hefty price tag if he delivers for the next 5 good idea on his part. Still could get an 8 year Super Payday deal and finish his career here. Sure hope the cap keeps going up cause we might need it...

Just an update on the situation called LCA thanks Learn2 for the number. I was told single game tickets don't go on sale till Aug 24 so not sure how the prices for seats are sitting out there currently maybe season tickets and packages? LW while you are talking ticket prices the additional insult is the fees Ticketmaster/StubHub etc charge for passing tickets through. So you buy a ticket at X price add in X% to get the bloody thing pure pure ripoff but you really don't have a choice if you want to see concert, game etc.

agreed not happening but it could be done if Bergevin has taken his meds or not that day Kenny calls. Opens some space for the youngins for sure.

Just saw this and figured folks might want to know... https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2018/08/07/blackhawks-legend-stan-mikita-dies-at-78/

be interesting to see the same thing for Rasmussen

Just hope in the group of new fresh Swedes there is someone that can grow an epic beard like Z...

I paid like 170 per ticket in the lower bowl plus fees for a feb game on a Saturday against the Canes. but its my annual pilmage to see family and friends in MI so its all good.

and now it's Dallas "leading" the Karlsson horse race... https://www.tsn.ca/report-stars-emerging-as-favourites-to-land-karlsson-1.1130123 Where Karlsson lands is anyone's guess at this point...

watched paused watched paused wonder if she shows up elsewhere...
