US Egg Posted June 7 Posted June 7 If I could have picked a player…..whew! Florida losing would have been a gut punch. Now I’m hooked. Quote

BillsPride12 Posted June 7 Posted June 7 This might be the best NHL playoff series I've seen since Detroit-Colorado in 2002. Two heavyweights squaring off 2 Quote

I think it was literally one of the greatest 20 seconds of stick-handling I've ever seen. I want to see a replay of the whole sequence instead of just the tail end they need to show. https://www.reddit.com/r/nhl/s/m2ORTQZmzZ slow motion replay of the whole sequence for your viewing pleasure! lol 1 Quote

Special K Posted Tuesday at 04:02 AM Posted Tuesday at 04:02 AM Not much to say about this game.....I guess the phrase "crap-tacular" comes to mind. Edmonton has to stay out of the penalty box....they seemed to be trying to play Florida's game, and that's not what got them this far. That 3rd period was a joke.....I'm sure that is not they kind of Hockey the NHL wants to be showcased to a National audience. Quote

I wouldn't be disappointed to see three guys watching Game 4 from the press box (Kane, Walman and whichever Panther drew the Charging call); that was embarrassing. It might not matter though; Bobo found the zone in the first OT of Game 2 and I'm not sure Edmonton can put enough behind him to win this series. 1 Quote

Yeah after the first two games I wasn't expecting such a one siding curb stomping but something tells me this series isn't over yet. Even in the 2002 Red Wings-Avalance series I referenced above Detroit put a whooping on Colorado in Game 7 when they beat them 7-0 1 Quote
Gregg Posted yesterday at 01:09 PM Posted yesterday at 01:09 PM Why would the NHL want to give Atlanta a 3rd shot at having an NHL hockey team. The Flames left for Calgary in 1980. The Thrashers left for Winnipeg in 2011. If the league wants expansion, then give places like Houston or Kansas City a shot. The Houston team would have an instant rivalry with the Stars. Dallas has become a good hockey market. I think Houston would also become a good hockey market. We all know KC has great fans just by seeing how they support the Chiefs. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nhl/nhl-expansion-bid-nearly-complete-for-market-where-hockey-has-failed-twice-already/ar-AA1GAgGI?ocid=entnewsntp&pc=U531&cvid=c915546eab8c4df3b1de726b0fa09c0d&ei=18 1 Quote

I am sure Terry believes that he knows what he is doing but the results over the past 14-15 years tell a different story. Even though I am an Isles fan I hope the Sabres can turn it around. I thought they were on their way of doing that when they had over 90 points and just missed the playoffs. But they have declined since then. 2 Quote

Jauronimo Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago It is ridiculous that Houston does not have a team. 4th or 5th biggest city in the country, the old IHL team had some of the highest attendances in the league, theres a lot of canadian transplants here via the Calgary-Houston oil and gas exchange and a ton of Northeast transplants here, and you have the 3rd most Fortune 500 companies of any city in the country. The demographics, the money, the population all make Houston an obvious choice. The only thing stopping this plainly obvious move is red tape around the arena's lease and the I believe the NHL is leery about sharing time and profit with the Rockets. https://www.houstonpress.com/news/four-reasons-the-nhl-in-houston-is-complicated-15717672#google_vignette https://www.chron.com/sports/article/tilman-fertitta-nhl-team-houston-19789684.php 2 Quote

Houston can use the Toyota Center for now but will have to build something new. Atlanta group has a plan for an arena north of Atlanta, in Forsyth County. Quote

I don't understand why Atlanta keeps coming up. How many times to try and fail do they get? Understand money talks, but it just seems like a market that just doesn't care about hockey and history has shown that 1 1 Quote
