inkman Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hmm.. What NHL team with a lot of cap space needs a goal-scoring winger... WE HAVE NO NEED FOR A FIFTY GOAL SCORER ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 If Kovalchuk attempts to return to the NHL prior to turning 35 (2018-19 season), he would have to receive approval from all 30 franchises. No way i see the devils approve this :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are gonna revolutionize hockey. the first LW LW C lineup. The advanced left wing lock. The other team won't know what hit them.

TrueBlueGED Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Elliotte Friedman's 30 Thoughts are always a good read: http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/30-thoughts-oilers-worse-nelson/ Reason I'm posting is the All-Star Game changes Stan Bowman proposed (the idea, not necessarily the exact details). 6 teams of 9 players, 4v4 round robin tournament, 6 minute games. Now that, I'd watch. Maybe reduce it to 3v3? Edited March 24, 2015 by TrueBluePhD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He [bowness] had success in Boston, survived expansion chaos in Ottawa and had small opportunities with the Islanders and Coyotes. “Experience develops confidence,” Bowness said. “You have to be honest with yourself.” Would he go back and change anything? “A lot,” he replied with a laugh, declining specifics. He paused when asked how coaching is different now. “That’s not a simple answer. Every generation changes. There’s a lot more individual attention. How you push. Learning who can handle certain instruction and who can’t. Players want to know how you are going to grow them on and off the ice. There’s a lot more teaching. Coaches used to say, ‘Work harder!’ Now, when a player hears that, they say, ‘Give me something! I want to know how you can make me better.’” :unsure: Edited March 24, 2015 by Met'yuPirog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put your thinking caps on, guys (and gals), and make this game truly the fastest, best and most exciting to watch in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Vanek perhaps would have re-signed with the Islanders if they weren't moving to Brooklyn. "It was close in February [2014] and I thought about it long and hard," Vanek said at Nassau Coliseum on Tuesday. "There was two factors; I made a choice that I really wanted to go to free agency. But after being here for a while I loved it here." "The one thing I didn't like was the move to Brooklyn. I think if the rink would have been built here, it should be here on the island. There was probably a good chance I still would be here.” Edited March 24, 2015 by IKnowPhysics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Vanek would have re-signed with the Islanders if they weren't moving to Brooklyn. Misleading post is misleading. Vanek probably maybe would have re-signed with the Islanders if they weren't moving to Brooklyn and he didn't want to be a FA. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 His quotes demonstrate a lack of understanding of geography. Technically. But a lot of people who live on Long Island don't consider Brooklyn Long Island. A friend of mine from Long Island just said today she would rather live on Long Island than Brooklyn. It is very discombobulating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Kings making a late season charge to 8th place, maybe even 6th. I believe they have recalled Mike Richards.
