Heh heh... I'm sure there was plenty of that throughout both fan bases. Although the home crowd in Philly sounded IRATE last night during the drubbing Florida laid on them.
 
Nice to see the Hawks break that record. Means little if they don't win the cup though. But damn I am enjoying this ride.
 
Habs score 3 times in the second period and win 3-0 over the Rangers. Price played well, but his team also played a very good defensive game in front of him and did not allow many quality scoring chances.

I think its hilarious that even Boston fans can't stand him. He's like Steggy in Pittsburgh.

No, actually Steggy is quite a bit worse.

They're a fun team to watch that's for sure.

Boston -- Chicago SCF? Sign me up!

I'll take that final. I'd love to watch a Pitt-Chi final as well.

Just watching Chicago when they are able to open up the ice and string together passes is amazing. It's art on ice.

Yeah Boston's and Pittsburgh's announcers are horrible.

Retardedly biased homerism.

There's always homerism, but sometimes it's just too far...


Tonight's Oilers game will be interesting.

We did really well against the Hawks last season, with some spectacular wins.

I just hope we can actually somewhat compete tonight against the Hawks as the way we've been playing i could see things getting really bad really fast...

Well I would not say all of Pittsburgh's announcers are horrible Mike Lange is the best announcer of all time in any sport. I wish they could get Mike Lange on the NBC sports instead of those goons like Pierre McGuire and fuck Mike Emrick he could not hold Mike Lange's jock strap.

Yeah i meant TV, not so familiar with radio.

There's some great stuff in here: http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/showthread.php?t=1353953&highlight=mike+lange

Jack Edwards just takes the cake though. Just ridiculous.
 
Not sure I like the new realignment proposal. The good chicago/detroit rivalry will be dead. Sure, it hasn't been much the past few years, but those games are always intense. They would only play twice a year now.
 
They're also considering going back to 2 conferences, but with only 2 divisions each (basically the 4 new "conferences" become the 4 new divisions). Home and home against the other conference, 3 games each against the other division in your conference, and 29-30 games in-division. Everything about this is stupid. There's no longer an even number of games between conference opponents (so no fair home-away split), and we go from 6 games against each division opponent to 4 in the east or 5 in the west.

Ugh... I'm hoping the NHLPA doesn't ratify those proposals as they're written.
 
I am starting to believe that the Habs may have finally turned themselves around. Impressive performance against the Leafs tonight to win 5-2.

As for the realignment, right now there are a few teams that really get worked over for travelling and they have been trying to come up with a way to fixit forever. The issue with the proposal is simple - more teams in the East than the West which causes the schedule to be even more imbalanced. It does basically solve the travel issues, though.

They aren't the same ol' soft, under achieving Habs that's for sure.

Bergevin and Therrien have re-made them and it's great for the game.

And what happens when the Yotes are finally bought out and moved Northeast? Is the NHL going to move an East team to the West, recreating the same problem they are attempting to solve?

Better, long term solution? Intermix the conferences. Instead of trying to solve 2 or 3 teams travel issues, make every team have to travel East and West. That way when teams up and move when the NHL does wisen up and abandon the south, they don't have to think of adjusting anyone significantly.
 
<--only been watching hockey for 40+ years.

Things I didn't know: it's a penalty for one of the players taking a face-off to sweep the puck off the face-off dot with his hand.
