I don't know if I want to watch it streamed or actually on CBC, don't want to flip between the MSU game and this game, so I think I'll just watch it streamed lol

EDIT: Hooked on Phonics

I'm switching back and forth, but it's getting annoying.

And since Shanny's not signed, otherwise he'd be a shoo-in for the C.

Is it normal for pre-season games to still be going on when the season has begun (overseas, mind you)? Don't remember that happening last season.

I think I remember a couple pre-season games going on the same time they were plaing in the UK

Okay, wasn't sure about that. It's a bit strange, but it keeps the playing field even, so to speak - players have to go over to Europe, expending all that travel time and such, so might as well make the rest of the league continue to wear themselves out with some games. :P

So this is Drury's second season and he is named captain? They really had no one else?

Well, there aren't many guys on the team that have been around that long. They don't have a single player on the roster that was with the team before the lockout.

Zherdev looks really good for New York. He's trying harder than I am used to.

For me, he's one of the most frustrating players I can think of. The guy has lots of skill, that is obvious, but he seems like the worst team player in the league. I can't think of anyone else off the top of my head. He also seems to make really bad decisions (there were many times already in this game where he just refused to make the simple play).

Well, Rags take the lead, nifty sauce from Gomez, weak goal given up by Smith by a shot from Nasty Nas.
Yep, looked a bit soft goal. It took some time even from the NASN commentators to realize there were goal. Edited by ArcticWing

Because the boards are not as solid as they are in NHL arenas. Is this even a full time ice rink? I'm not so sure.

I heard the ice the Pens and Sens will be playing on is absolutely terrible. I think that rink was just being built, I'm not sure why, I just think I remember reading that. Not sure about the rink for the NYR vs. TB game.

Edit: I looked it up, the arena in Sweden is not new, 25 years old actually. I wonder if I just happened to see something about modifications being made for the NHL games or what....or I could just be imagining it all.
