2011-2012 NHL Thread

Jovocop: 15 min icetime and 5th out of 6d men on his team tonight.  4 years. An over-35 contract. This one is going to be worse than komi's.

Stajan: 9 minutes the other night ... Only Hagman had fewer minutes for the flames.  I like how the leafs are spending their 6.5 million better.

Anybody catch the blasphemy on the TSN front page? They have a picture of RatBoy with the caption "Captain Clutch". There is only one Captain Clutch and he never wore a senaturds outfit.

See what happens when the media gets their nose out of Toronto's ass for a second?  Leaf fans go nuts.  Just wait, there'll be another fluff piece about Gardiner or the Leafs making the playoffs before long.

So what, TSN are sellouts.

If only the same could be said about Scotiabank Place.

Speaking of which, I find it interesting that every Leafs game is considered a sellout, but the total attendance is never the same.

Does the ACC add or remove seats every game?

Total seats for hockey is 18800. The discrepancy is the influx of patrons watching from luxury boxes and standing room seats.

Well if that's the case, the S'cank was sold out tonight, and Potvin looks like a fool.

Aren't tickets sold different than attendance? A game can be sold out, but not have full attendance, no?

Yes. A game can have all the tickets sold and have no one show up to actually watch and attend the game. It'd still be a sell out if all the tickets available for sale were sold.

I hate to break it to you but I've heard dozens of people referred to over the years as Captain Clutch. Type in Captain Clutch into Google and you get references to Brian Gionta, Chris Drury, Derek Jeter and someone who plays for the Vernon Vipers of the BCHL all on the first page.

NHL schedule makers are a little weird... tomorrow Pittsburgh will have played their 5th game, meanwhile San Jose will still only have played 1. 

A difference of 4 games half way through the season isn't a big deal but 2 weeks in seems like a fairly big difference.

Not even 2 weeks in...the puck first dropped last Thursday!

Do you mind if I use this in my sig after my penalty expires?

Was really hoping Philly would bomb against Vancouver today. Doesn't look like that's gonna happen. Glad that Boston and Carolina didn't play into OT though.

Under 9,000 fans in Columbus tonight. And team winless in first four games. Getting uglier.

Time to say an NHL "bye! bye!" to Columbus. :

Crosby cleared for contact! My fantasy pool just orgasmed 

 

[donkeyy0]

Tavares is amazing. Just made an amazing play to put the Isles up 4-1 over the Lightning. 4 pts in 1 period for Tavares.

There are a number of teams that are struggling under the current system.  http://www.wind-n-sea.org/2011/07/nhls-financial-woes.html indicates that "There have been rumors or confirmed reports of serious financial struggles confronting several NHL teams, including the Nashville Predators, Florida Panthers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Carolina Hurricanes, Atlanta Thrashers, Columbus Blue Jackets, Dallas Stars and Phoenix Coyotes".  Ofcourse Atlanta has already relocated.

Maybe I will bounce over to the NHL re-alignment thread.

Asham getting a lot of heat for his post-fight taunt on an obviously in distress Beagle.
