You not a fan of a hollywood get together where they honor such legendary musical acts as Justin Beiber, Carly Rae Jepson, and the heavy metal Jethro Tull?

Meh, you can save some money and buy a cheaper quality tv with no HD capabilities, I really don't think a show with Drag Queens is really something you want to see in HD

People do that?You poor, poor man...............

Fans want to be entertained more so they have decided to try and make the last few minutes more exciting

Sounds about right.......

Nope, all their problems are coaching, they have a superstar roster thatall go on to other teams and flourish while Ruff coaches them to be worthless because he cares more about his system then succeeding.......

I know that, but do you think its normally called in that situation or may have had something to do with Ott complaining about something ? I don't know either, no ones keeping you around.............

Probably had nothing to do with what he was talking to the ref about while heading off the ice after the 1st period Yeah, but his jersey has a 'B' on it so thats ok......

The guy who had Shanahans job before, and was always fair with his decisions on disciplin :rolleyes:

Anyone know if Leopold was just paying attention to what Ehrhoff did on that breakaway?

I heard them say something about Kaleta looking at the ref and basically saying he didn't want ot fight but they didn't do anything about it and he had to goI wonder if Kaleta was thinking the entire time about wanting to get a few extra shots in knowing who his dad is..............

and yet he still let one in

Uhhhhh yeah, I was on your side with my comment........................

Are the seats in that arena folding chairs? The empty ones look like it

I thought it was just because I'm watching it on my computer........

Congrats, now if only you could find a Bourne Identity board to go cry on

Family Guy?

I have heard the rumors too that they are shopping Kessel now that Burkes gone. They feel he is not a player who can be the focal point/leader of a team like Burke thought so they are looking to see what they can get for him. you can't use those stats to make your point, you have to only cherry pick the ones that prove what you want to prove and say those are the ones that matter.

I questioned the non goaltender interference call because Ott did touch Budaj which caused him to get pushed into teh net, and they have been really ###### about goalies being touched this year. I don't think that Ott prevented him from making the save though and i don't think that he had possession of it. Otts push also didn't put the puck into the net, Vaneks many whacks at the loose puck knocked it in Look at the pictures from any game back then, people used to get dressed up to go out in public (or fly in a plane ;) )

Same hereAlso the same as the people who can afford lower bowl Leafs games, the business crowd thats there to broker new business deals, not because they want to watch hockey true, feels nice to be on the other side of those calls for once though..... Unlike you? Exactly, you don't pay money to go watch a church service, theres a reason why stadium seating is tiered and church pews sit on the flat ground.

Its a one time thing because of the large drop in the cap, its use it or lose it IIRCI don't think it guarantees Leino is gone though. I don't think they view him as bad as the fans do, and I still think they feel he is deserving of his deal. If he played this year like he did last, then I think he would be bought out

Its done where the player is given the chance to sign with a team prior to joing them (Like what happend with Ehrhoff to the Islanders and then Buffalo when he was becoming a FA. The player is given a brief period where they can sign a new deal with the team and if they get something done a pick is given up. I don't know if its ever happened where a team traded a player to another team, allowed them to play for that team, and just made the compensation of the trade conditional upon that player being re-signed after the season

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=415537Its part of his TSN "C'Mon Ref" Article he does Says that it should have been blown dead cause Ott caused the puck to come loose when he pushed Budaj into the net when he had frozen it under himself already. I was wondering how they didn't call an interference on Ott for pushing Budaj into the net, but I figured that it really didn't interfer with his ability to make the save on it, and Budaj still had time to make the save on Vanek. I have thought that it has been a brutal year to be a goalie now and would like to see them go back to not allowing players in the crease (AS LONG AS THEY MAKE THE RIGHT CALL) because it seems theres alot of guys getting in teh crease, and just charging th goalies with the puck not giving them a chance to make the save.

that is true, the atmosphere in the arena can be blamed on the fans because they are supposed to bring that to the arena, but the lack of atmosphere gets blamed back onto the team because they aren't doing anything to make the fans cheer, then the players say they aren't being motivated by the fan support to up their level of play, its a viscous circle. You would think that players should be motivated to play their best every game, regardless of the fan support, and not need any motivation from the fans and coaches to go out and play at 120% to win. But in todays day and age, money is more of the motivation for athletes, and once they get it, very few feel like they need to continue to earn it So what you are telling us is that you were off having fun and neglecting your SS Moderator duties?

never seems to be a problem for the Rangers and Flyers...............I can't see Ott getting a huge raise in a new contract, the thought around the board here is that Gerbe is worthless and should be let go of, Foligno hasn't shown enough to deserve a huge raise yet, and McNabb hasn't shown much of anything yet at the NHL level to deserve a big raise.
