    Moving Jimmy Howard

    Let's stop the bickering, please.

    New arena construction updates

    This actually depresses me. I've been a fan long enough to lose Olympia and The Joe.

    Grantland: The Heavyweight Belt of NHL Rivalries

    No one said there can't be bitter rivalries without fighting, although hockey does lend itself to that being a large component. Most here are lamenting the decidedly low bar that has been set for what constitutes a rivalry; something we've actually been doing since the press kept telling us we had one going with the Preds two seasons into their existence

    Grantland: The Heavyweight Belt of NHL Rivalries

    They're not. Used to be a rivalry grew from intense competition that left blood on the ice, literally and figuratively. Now it's just whatever team is playing on Wednesday night.

    Red wings tickets

    Looks like they're not doing the usual for ticket sales. They used to go on sale on Saturday and they'd have coffee and donuts and games from 8am until 10am. Still making my annual pilgrimage even though it will cost me a vacation day.

    Adidas Gets NHL Jersey Deal

    Is there any way to Photoshop live TV so we can scrub the advertising? I can't imagine doing any ads front and center as the article claims. Around the bottom maybe?

    Number One Center vs. Number One Defenseman

    And thus concludes the Great Goalie Debate portion of this thread. Centers or defensemen is the topic, please.

    Number One Center vs. Number One Defenseman

    Number One defenseman. A great defenseman keeps the puck out of your net and makes sure it goes into theirs, sometimes from center ice.

    Kane Off NHL 16 Cover

    We are keeping tabs on this, so updates are fine. Unfortunately we can't edge into the political discussion aspect, so let's tread a little more carefully this time, please.

    Kane Off NHL 16 Cover

    Stevie was on it in the mid-90's, not sure when, but it was pre-Cup.

    Kane Off NHL 16 Cover

    Wrong link - here's the tweet: EA SPORTS NHL ‏@EASPORTSNHL 33m33 minutes ago Official statement regarding Patrick Kane.

    Nashville to wear gold helmets for Saturday games in 2015/2016

    They may be nice in their home arena, but they're generally jerks at the Joe. I've heard almost as many rude remarks from Preds fans as I have Flyer fans, and that's not easy to do. And that "gold" color is horrifying.
  14. Thanks, that would be much appreciated. There are 3 mods to the hundreds of members. We aren't online all the time, especially at the time these threads are being created, which is usually during work hours or at 3am. I'd rather get 12 reports about the same thread than no reports.
  15. You guys know there's a "Report" button in these posts, right? It would be really helpful if you guys would click on that so we're made aware instead of just making jokes in GD threads.

    I think the second week in September, a week or so before exhibition season starts.

    Wings lose scout to leafs

    OMG, what an awesome photoshop opportunity that is!! MINIONS!! I generally don't mind the poaching, especially in Babcock's case, as people prefer working with certain people and others are offered a promotion, but it's kinda weird that it's the only time people tend to leave our front office.

    Holtby Asking for $8M

    I was pretty sure toby was punking us until I discovered it's all over the web. TSN. I have decided to find this amusing.
  19. And we've officially edged over into political discussion. Let's pick another less dangerous topic, shall we? Like whether Babcock sucks now that he's in enemy territory or not.

    Here we go AGAIN - Coyotes, part DUH!

    Here's the most interesting part of that article for me: Hmmmmm. Hey, Gary, I thought the NHL wasn't even considering expansion right now? The NHL announced it was accepting applications for expansion franchises from July 6 until Aug. 10. *EDIT* Apparently this was announced 6 days ago. How did I miss that?????

    HHOF #5 Lidstrom head of 2015 class

    Why I hate the internet: Bryan ‏@brooks43us 11m11 minutes ago Chris Pronger. Best defenseman of his generation. Absolute offense intended to Nick Lidstrom, who was about half the player.

    Holland doesn't expect to be busy this offseason

    In other news: The sky is blue. Rain is wet. I'd kill to make a major signing one of these days. I want a stellar defenseman, a Vezina goalie, that kind of thing. I want all the waiting to be really, really worthwhile.

    HHOF #5 Lidstrom head of 2015 class

    Because you are eligible 3 years after you retire. Pronger is not retired, therefore he is not eligible. Not sure how they're working that out.

    Will Wings Revisit Signing Phaneuf?

    Oh, there's enough salt involved to de-ice my driveway, hence the "supposedly," but I'll grab at any little straw I can these days.

    Will Wings Revisit Signing Phaneuf?

    I will sleep a little easier tonight. Supposedly the Wings are no longer interested per KHANNNNNNNNN!
