Well look how bad the Sharks did last season... That is why they traded Nolan, Marchment, etc.... Selanne left too... But damn, they are lighting it up.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

ya they traded some. But i was under the impression Selanne was a free agent who wouldnt sign with them and waited for another team.

IF thats the case, then i have to say he made a poor decision.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Yeye... that was the case, but if I was in Selanne's shoes, I would be thinking that the team is downsizing, trading away some key people... so why the hell stay? lol

Woo! Flyers go up 2-0 with a 2-1 victory. Scary second period, but Esche and the PP bailed us out. Go Flyers.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

you know, the other day, when ESPN was talkin about colorado. and they said this is the first time they have EVER gone down 2-0 in a series.
i knew he was wrong.

looked it up and just as i remembered. colorado went down 2-0 to Detroit in 1999. (of course saidly they won the next 4)

BUT, i wish there was a spot where i could email the ESPN NHL 2night guys and tell em they were wrong. :p

F'in leafs... I get frustrated watching them play, lol.

Philly is just really damn strong... Much more of a physical presence than the leafs... Hopefully we can get Nolan and Dyke back into the line up soon.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

So how bout that idea by the NHL to shorten the season to 72 games, and have no season games with teams from opposite conferences?

Personally i kinda like the idea. but i feel detroit gets the short end of that stick. its sayin teams would get less travel because they stay in thier conference... However, thats fine and dandy for teams in the east. but all the east teams are closer for the redwings then the west is. so we'd be traveling longer each time. =/

Some how get wings into east and i love that idea. :p

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

They should make the season longer, if anything...not dramatically longer though. Because they have too many teams now, and they shortened it by two games a while back. (thats why Wayne Gretzky's consecutive scoring streak will never be broken...84 games) But i dont know about the only conference thing. i like playin the leafs and Habs and whatnot...

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

the shortened season is pretty much what EVERYONE agree's on. everyone basically loves that part. so dont be surprised if that happens.

RE: Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Who told you that?That's a rather sweeping generalization.It's all good. I was not trying to be a surprised if that happens.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Haha... CamFuBot rocks.

And ya, I think they should shorten the season, kick out about 3 or 4 teams, and give Canada another team... Oh, and the no inter-league play would be good I think.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Get rid of Nashville and Atlanta for sure....Wtf do they have a team for?....do they know what hockey even is? And ya, i say give Canada back Quebec and Winnipeg...but no shortened seasons...i cant stand that idea. They are making millions of dollars, and they want to play less. I say if anything, if they want shorter seasons, then salaries must also go drastically down.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Gretzky's consecutive scoring streak can be broken. The streak could carry into the next season right?

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Unless it is a scoring streak per season, lol.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Its consecutive per season....
