I agree on enforcement. There's not as many 6-7-8 goal games as earlier in the season. Things are settling in and we're starting to see games 3-2, 2-2. It's been more entertaining.
It isnt the added scoring that is winning me over, it is the fact that play actually focses on skating and passing ability now, instead of mucking it up. If the power plays dropped a good bit, the scoreline would be affected, but as long as play stayed open and clean, I wouldn't mind.
Exactly, I think that's what they want. No one wants 6-7 games. Not the players, fans, owners (well maybe the owners think that is ideal). The open play is what's needed. No more guys like Tyson Nash ruining it.
Flyers-Canucks games been rough...Flyers just got screwed on a double minor and the Canucks go from being down 3-2 to up 4-3 in 37 seconds. Ugh...
F'n Mario Lemieux. My in-laws got me tickets to next Tuesday nights game in Pittsburgh vs the Leafs. It would be my first time seeing Super Mario live...and then he goes and has more heart problems. F'n hell. He better play next Tuesday or they'll be hell to pay.
you should pay Mario to even use his full name in the post. Just the fact that he COULD play on Tuesday and you MIGHT see him play live is enough for you to thank whatever Gods you believe in. If he does actually play and you see him live, try to stop by a corner liquor store to buy a lottery ticket, as you will be one lucky man.
Even better, the ticets were free. My brother in aw works for the Pengiuns, he throws tshirts out at intermissisanins and he got tthiem for me,. (I reallyn need to stop edrinking when school ends.

TEam USA roster for the Olypmpics http://www.nhl.com/news/2005/12/248590.html Discuss... My problems: 1) F:n Chelois...what a joke!!!! 2) Tkachuk...pleaSE!
Will Jeremy Roenick ever shut the hell up?? http://www.nhl.com/news/2005/12/248694.html Man JR, you suck anymore. It's over. Deal with it.
i am sorta partial to chelios, as he grew up in my neighbourhood.. i'd much rather have roenick than tkachuk.. can you tell i was raised in chicago?? lol
Re: OT: NHL Thread (ok'd by Clan) The Red Wings are the best American based NHL period and this is coming from a Chicago fan. My wife has a slight soft spot for NJ, she was born there. She loves Brodeur and Stevens. By the way, if any team is gonna being suckin octupus dong, it is the Blackhawks and their cr#ppy owner WIRTZ, son of satan!
Old Roenick is better than Tkachuk. Sorry everyone, but what the HELL has Tkachuk done lately. I know JR only has 17 pts, but come on! The dude is frickin dinosaur. I'm impressed he can still bring it.
I think Tkachuk is more versatile though. He can play the wings as well as center. Roenick is old and slow. Tkachuk is just slow.
i think i just like the tenacity and energy roenick brings.. he isnt one to slack off at all... tkachuk is SLOW!!!
I just don't think Roenick brings it anymore. He's good but watching him the previous 3 seasons with the Flyers, he just disappears in some games. He's also not the physical force he once was and he's about 1 more concussion away from retiring.
but, wouldnt he make a great 4th line center? perhaps with a chris drury and brian gionta... maybe not those players, but just tossing it out there.. anyways, i really cant complain with who was picked for the team. didnt know jordan leopold was a yank... what a great collegian.
