  1. No surprise that Canada and the US are way over the cap. It is surprising that Sweden almost makes the cut. Russia being right at the cap, isn't surprising since they have a pro-KHL attitude it seems. It also helps that Kovalchuk retired from the NHL. http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/canadian-roster-comes-with-heavy-price-tag/

    Zetterberg out with herniated disc

    I know folks have mentioned it, but here's the official NHL link ruling him out for the tourney. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=705013

    NHL players will not participate in 2018 Olympics (Mod Post #99)

    Well, because they kinda have to.. what with the Family Medical Leave Act and all (*does not apply to Canadians).

    NHL salary cap numbers applied to the Olympic teams

    US based media reporting on to NHL fans, is why I figure they left out the KHL numbers for a bunch of folks you're probably never heard of anyway. Also, they would then have to find every league's payroll and add in SEL, etc.

    Finnish women's team member breaks a nail..

    She probably handled it better than I would.

    Illitch announces plan to build new arena

    The problem with that line of thinking is that the bills still have to get paid when the teams are losing.

    2/2 GDT: Red Wings 5 at Capitals 6 (OT)

    Well, having been there tonight, I have to say, I can't complain about an eleven goal game, except for the outcome. Wings stated like s***e, probably shouldn't have gotten a point. Glad they did tho. Vibe in the Verizon was that ovie was due. Sure enough. Bastard. Lots of wing chants. Good time! Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

    Wings vs. Caps in DC. Anyone going?

    I'm nearby for a class in Emmitsburg, MD, I'm headed to the game Sunday. Anyone else going?

    2/2 GDT: Red Wings 5 at Capitals 6 (OT)

    It took three minutes to finally get to their end and then we're out as quick as we got in. And now an icing. Joy. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

    I feel sorry for the women on the glass in 107 during warm-up with the "love you, Bert #44" sign. Sweetie, I don't think he saw it from the rafters. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
  19. San Jose's ECHL affiliate team is defunct. They cited MILLIONS in losses in 18 months. WTF? http://www.telegram.com/article/20140127/NEWS/301279598/1009/SPORTS Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk

    Whom to blame for this goal? A referee or the goalie?

    I hope he at least got the girl in the corner's number.

    1/24 GDT: Canadiens 1 at Red Wings 4

    With such an awesome GDT, how can we possibly NOT win? Let's Go Wings!

    Turning point!?!?!

    I think the "turning point" discussion is a little premature. A couple solid games (even if they were losses) and a SO win doesn't somehow change the things that are fundamentally wrong with the team this season.

    Injuries + The League = Money.

    I disagree with their hypothesis. Yes, there is a cost, but to imply that it is directly related to ticket prices or should be treated differently than other costs is silly. It's like saying a Big Mac costs 30 cents more today because the fry cook stuck his hand in the oil. Yes, there are costs, but to say that if they made the game less hockey-like and therefore safer (less injuries) that the costs would go down is nonsensical.
